The California COMMUNICATIONS ia an erro-
neous impression abroad, that the Commission for
the adjustment of land claims in California is full.
The Administration have been DESTROYS of securing
for this important Board, the first legal abilities OF
the country. The salary allowed, however,
$4,000 per annum) is too small a temptation for
legal gentlemen whose experience and talents will
never fail to secure them as large or larger COMPS
ience, without leaving home and all its associa-
lions, for the performance of most arduols duties
in distant part of the country. Hence it il, that
20 MANY gentlemen, whose appointment would
have reflected honor upon the Administration, and
been hailed with great satisfaction by all persons
interested in California land claims, have been
constrained to decline the nominations rendered
The delay resulting from this cause is deeply to be
regretted The multitude of the interests involved
in the awards of the Commissioners in question Is
very great, affecting nneiy-nine out of every hun
bred citizens of California. The present uncer-
ianiy of titles locks up large tracts OF valuable
lands and re,ards the progress of real estate I'M
provements most disastrousy. Already thousands
of of disputed titles have arisen, creating an
amount of litigation unparalleled in the history Of
any of the States of the Union and every day
adds to The list. 1t is TO be hoped that, ere many
days, we may be able chronicle the departure OF
the Board upon its highly important mission. IN.

Tempering Justice ,cih Mercy.-Elizabeth Shee-
han appeared yesterday before Recorder Caldwell,
10 prosecute her niece, Catherine Dunn, an in
teresting looking little girl, about eleven or twelve
years of age, for larceny. In her testimony, she
accused her of stealing breast-pin. probably
worth two or three dollars which was found in the
possession of another aunt of the prisoners. In
order TO e1tort confession from the accused, her
accuser wrote to the aunt with whom she resided,
that she would not prosecute if the article taken
was restored. The note was produced in court /;
after reading which, the Recorder very properly
censured the conduct of the prosecutrix through
out the affair. and after admonishing the accused,
who declared, with tears in her eyes, " that she
did not want the thing at ALL" discharged her.
This is tempering justice with mercy in manner
the most commeDdable.
