California.

On the 18th, the representatives from
California presented their credentials to
Congress, which were ordered to be prin-
ted. The question of the admission of
California as State into the Union is still
the chief subject Of debate in both Houses
of Congress, and there is no telling when
it will be disposed of. The excitement
on the slavery question has considerably
abated, however, and consequently the
members are better prepared for cool de-
liberation.
California have also addressed long doc
ument to Congress, communicating copies
of the State Constitution, their credentials
and formal request for admission in the
Union. They express their astonishment
that there is an organized opposition in
Congress TO the admission of the new
Stete, and enter at length into the history
of the territory, the organization, popula-
ton, and other matters pertaining to the
subject. The address concludes thus:
This people request admission into the
American Union as State. They under
stand and estimate the advantages which
will accrue to them from such connec-
ton, while they trust they do not too
highly compute those which viii be en-
forced upon their brethren. They do not
present themselves as applicants, nor do
they bear themselves with arrogance or
presumption. They come as free Ameri-
can citizens = citizens by treaty, by adop-
ton, and by birth, and ask that they may
be permitted to reap the common benefits,
share the common ills, and promote the
common welfare, one of the United
States of America.

The Texas Parkman Letter.

The Neao Orleans Delta has conversed
with a gentleman direct from Washing
ton, Texas, who took some pains TO as
certain who was the writer of the letter
published in the Delta, signed Oronolsa,
the writer, of which confessed himself TO
be the murderer of DR.. Parkman, and
laddS:-
The letter signed 'Oranoka,' is dated
Washington, 2Sth December. 1s49 Our
informant has ascertained. beyond all
doubt, that an unknown and suspicious
looking individual arrived in Washing
ton about that time, who came from b os
ton via Galveston and Houston: He re
manned at Washington but few days.
After remaining here a few days, he de-
parted for Austin, where he entered his
name in the register fthe Orleans house
as John Weeks, Boston, The appear
ance of the stranger was calculated 10 ex-
cite suspicion. He was reserved and
nervous. He did not remain long in
Austin. He also cut out OF he registry
the entry Of his name, which was com pared
with the handwriting of the letter of
'Oronoka, and contains points of resem-
bIance to that of .Oronoka' which are
very palpable aud striking"

A Singular Coincidence.

We do not remember to have ever heard
of a more singular coincidence than that
which has occurred in the case of Harri-
son Kinkead, Esq, of this borough. He
has been elected twice and defeated four
times by just t,Co U0tes, as follows:-In
1910, he was elected Justice of the Peace
by tUo votes, and in lS45, he was defeat.
ed for the same office by f,eO votes. In
ls47, he was candidate for County
Commissioner before the County Conven-
tion, and was defeated by two. In ls4s
he was nominated the democratic candi-
date for County Commissioner by ma
jority of f,oo, and was defeated at the polls
by f,co. And on Friday last, he was again
a candidate for Justice of the Peace, and
again defeated by faco votes. Who will
say, after this, that there is not fatality

Mayor Barker.

The good citizens of the city of Pitts
burg are now beginning TO experience
some of the evils resulting from their fol-
" in elec.lng such man as.Joe Barker,
Mayor. The tables are now completely
turned. Barker was doubtless elected
through motives of sympathy, on account
of the alleged harsh treatment he received
in criminal prosecution, and now the
Pittsburgers regret that they suffered their
feelings of the moment TO influence their
conduct in relation to man so unworthy.
The Morning Post has the following lam
guage in relation to Mayor Barker. at
is to be lamented that the city of Pittsburg
is in its present position We have a
Chief Magistrate who practically sets aside
law and all right. He INDUCES in his
whims to the fullest extent, regardless of
the safety Of the citizens. No man is safe
who presumes to question the correctness
of his Honor's decisions. His conduct in
his office is coarse in the extreme; his lam
guage is terribly blasphemous. He threat
ems destruction upon any institution that
he dislikes. He says he intends to abolish
the Court of Quarter Sessions, that he
will do something desperate with the
Mercy Hospital. Ludicrous as these
threats may seem to the reader, yet the
Mayor utters them in all seriousness"

The Climate of CalifOria.

Ex-Governor Shannon, IN letter writ
ten to friend in st. Clairsville, dated
San Francisco, January Goth 1850, says:
81 regret that my letter that was pu-
blished in the Gazette Influenced any one
to come to this country; was not so in
tended; this is not the country for any
citizen to come to. Except the gold, which
is all it has been represented to be, the
country is worthless; and the climate is a
bad one. The time will come VIII en- this
opinion will be entertained by all. wish
therefore to express the opinion to allwho
may feel desire to come here, that they
had better remain at home; that the chan
ces for doing we'll in this country, taking
into consideration the probability, nay, the
certainty of being sick, is greatly against
them. This being my opinion, desir e
no one to come out here on the strength
of any thing have said. 1t is country
of gold; when that is said. all is said"

Carnival Incident at Rome.

There are propably many of our readers
who remember the young Prince Musig-
mana, son of the Prince Canine and grand
son of Joseph Bonaparte who visited this
country few years ago. 10 such the
following account of startling and almost
tragical incident in Rome, on the 10th OF
February will prove interesting. Wesquote
from Roman journal:
"Y esterday, at about quarter past five
towards the end of the Corsa, which was
very brilliant. a magnificent nosegay of
white camelias, concealing a grenade OF
glass, was thrown into the carriage of the
Prince of Musignano, son of the Prince Of
Canine, while opposite the Palace Berni-
nj. The Prince took it and was about TO
present it to his sister, who was beside him
in the carriage; but who was fortunately
engaged in throwing flowers to the per-
sons that occupied the balcony of the Pal
ace Bernini. The Prince therefore, wal
ted till she had done, resting the hand with
the nosegay on his thigh, when suddenly
the grenade burst. The Prince was Sc
verely wounded in his right hand, between
the thumb and forefnger, and still more so
in his thigh, in which fragments of glass
had penetrated so deep, that artery was
near being lacerated. His sister was
slightly wounded in her leg and side, and
fell into swoon. Immediately after the
explosion the Prince alighted, and with
the assistance Of the bystanders, carried
his sister into the Palace Bernini, where
the head surgeon of the French army,
who happened to be on the spot, immedi-
ately gave them the necessary assistance.

BThe Double Eagle, or twenty dol
laa gold coin authorized at the last session
of Congress, have made their appearance
in Philadelphia. 1t is somewhat larger
than half dollar and considerably thick
er. The face bears the head of Liberty
surrounded by thirteen stars. with the
date 1885," and on the diverse there is
"a spread Eagle supporting shield, and
an ornamental fillet showing the motto
'sE Pluribus Unum.'' Above the Eagle
are rays, and in the midst of which are
thirteen stars-the whole encircled by the
words "United States of America. Twen-
ty D." We should like to see few OF
them sent out in this direction for speci-
mems, merely; as they are entirely too
large for printers to hope to own any OF
them.

The Health Of Eaerope During the

and her constitution is gradually breaking
up She says she has the weight of a
mountain on her breast that prevents her
rising. She still complains bitterly of the
great vacuum in her chest.
Russia has been troubled with slight
attack of yellow fever. Bleeding was
recommended, and was instantly carried
out to a copious extent in the city. Rus
sia has felt very much better since, and
is very thankful to England fer the unex-
pected relief.
Austria is endeavoriDg to regain the
strength she has lost in Hungary. She
is still stunn ed with the dreadful blow
she received there, which was nearly the
death of her. She is recommended to
keep quiet for some to time come.
England is collecting her members to-
gether, and rubbing them up for the
grand fight that is expected to come off
on the 3lst instant. She feels quite
strong enough, she says. to spurn the

can assure them that they will not be able

law or not, Mr.. Laird will have the credit
which is justly due him, of having orgi-
mated the bill. There is another man in
the lower house, who for learning, ability
industry and talents, has few equals and
fewer superiors in the country. Judge
Porter is the most indefatigable and ready
man ever saw. Always ready, and al.
ways at his post, no question comes amiss
to him. His versatility of talent, and rich
fund of lore, both legal, literary, and po,
litical, makes him the able debater, and
ready writer, and suffer me to add, the

CANADA AND THE CoLoREp FuGITIvEs.-Notwith-
standing the sympathy manifested by the Cana
dian editors at the passage Of the fugitive slave law.
they appear to be unwilling that the runaway
slaves should become their neighbors. Especially
is this the on the border line of Michigan and
the western district Of Canada. The last number
OF the Amherstburg Courier says
''We have been favored for the last four or five
days by an influx of the coored population from the
States, whose advent, though honorable to the pro-
vince rs land of liberty, could be very bcnefciay
dispensed with ny the peaceable inhabitants of this
frontier On this side sable clouds of immigrants
are disembarked from every boat that stops, and
between one and two hundred have already arrived
at this port. like rapid influx continues at
all points along the frontier far as heard from;
and if some action be not taken by the Legislature
in the matter, this part of the province must soon
be overwhelmed by our colored brethren When
some years ago, the poor inhabitants of Great Brit
ain and Ireland flocked over to this province too
rapidly, our liberal government imposed poll tax
upon all persons landing shores from the
other side Of the Atlantic. Much more necessary
