the State Department took him the salary
attached to The Office he held in it, which ll;
he refused to accept, although earnestly
urged to do SO. He received the lower sal

Judicial Proceedings in California,

A correspondent Of the New Orleans
Delta thus describes the remarkably free
and easy way in which justice is adminis-
tered in California:
Sometime in December last, whilst Judge

admissibilitv of some of the evidence, one
of the lawyers rose and said:

whilst the Judge was giving his decision
with becoming gravity, the following scene
occurred: 81 s--s - =-5..
