Tho California Mail.

AAo uAus
We received yesterday regular files of
California newspapers. There is little in them
of general interest, beyond what was published
eight or ten days ago on the arrival of the
Cherokee. Many an aching heart has doubt
less been impatiently waiting the confirmation
or disproof which this mail brings Of imperfect
intelligence of previous arrivals.
We subjoin two or three scraps of informa-
tion which we have not heretofore published:
WHAT NONSENSE The Sacramento Transcript
makes out a statement of the political complexion
of both houses of the Legislature, which s really
amusing. The Wings elected to the Assembly are
put down at fourteen This ia rich For the in
formation of the Transcript will state that there
are twenty two Wings elected out of the thirty six
members. We have majority of nine joint
ballot. The Transcript puts down several mem
beers Democrats who have been open and undis
guised Wings from the start, in California. Cook.
and DR.. Randall, who have been connected with
the customs in California since their arrival here
laugh right out at their being put down as Loco
focos. At the proper time will publish full list
of all the members elect, and the party to which
each ia attached.
The Pacific Ne,Ds makes the same bunder by
copying the ITanscript's account. The Herald Is
nearer right; but puts down LppencOtt as doubt
full, and DR.. Randall q Democrat. They are
both Wings There many other corrections
which we do not now purpose to speak about
San Francisco Courier, Nou. Is.
DR. RoBINsoN ADMITTED TO BAIL - On Saturday
evening last application was made by habsas corpus
TO Chief Justice Hastings to admit DR.. Robinson to
bail. 1t Is generally known that the grand jury
found true bill of murder, &C., against DIR. Rob
inson After hearing testimony and counsel, the
chief justice admitted the applicant to bail in the
petent court or magistrate. Yesterday DR.. R. made
application by his counsel to Judge Hopkins, hold
ing the district court to take and approve the bail
Messrs. GeOrgeE Montgomery and James Church
man, which the court declined doing, for the reason
that any magistrate competent to take the bail
after the order made therefor by the chief ustice;
and that it would require time to attend the
matter while the business of the court WA particu-
lary pressing and urgent.
Application was accordingly made to ID. d. Bull
lock, ESQ, by whom the bail offered accepted,
and DR.. Robinson discharged from custody.

WrLL-DIRECTED ENrERPRIsE.-Three brothers
returned to the States by the last steamer. They
crossed the Plains year ago, and located upon
Bear river, short distance below Steep hollow.
At the place where they frat commenced work
they remained, Notwithstanding others believed
that but little could be made. They were COM
pletely broken when they commenced work. In
month or two they had succeeded in obtaining some
two thousand dollars With this one of the party
came to Sacramento city and purchased provisions,
but the rains set in, and they could be taken to
the location they had selected for winter quarters
The provisions stored and eventually lost
mines, and again went to work. Since that time
the party have purchased their provisions at high
rates from the traders, not wishing to venture ano-
Their speculation here They returned to the States
with about 1000 the joint products of their
labor.--Piacer Times, Nov. g.
