THE slave Case.

very interesting case was yesterday decided
in the County Court by Judge Morrison his 10
nors opinion can be seen IN another column. The
case was thus A Mr. Galloway brought negro
boy 10 slsvel with him from the States some
eight months ago. The boy worked for him here
the same IS At home buS when Mr.. Q. desired
70 take him home with him he declined going,
and the Court has decided that he need not go.
With the decision itself 10 one will be dis.
posed to find fault, except perhaps the gentleman
who has Lost his property but We must confess
that we are not At all pleased with the ground on
which the decision rests, viz That there was no
proof that the boy ever was slave, or that M.
Galloway ever owned him. We confess this
does not seem 20 US 10 be treating the question
sc Is deserves The rights Of Jhe parties ought
not 70 hinge on such point AZ all it 10 not fair
for either that they should the case embraced
the whole of the question as 10 whether slaves
brought into this State continue to be slaves or
not here was the real point and this has not
been touched az all. Suppose that Mr.. Galloway
had proved his right Of property In the boy; sup.
pose the papers were all there, and the evidence
was clear and distinct; would he have been
handed over TO him or not From the present
decision the inference is. that he would a. in
ference hardly reconcileAble with the law as II
stands.

Political Affairs.

ROiltiCal AH0lfas
Both parties are preparing TO marshal their
forces for thorough party organization through
out the State. The miners, heretofore. have in
great measure been uncOncerned spectators
Now they are preparing TO take their positions
Is party men, and will appear in force at the
polls. The Wig candidate for Governor, will,
without doubt, be Mao Pearson b. Heading-a
gentleman OF high character and intelligence.
He is native Of Philadelphia, and belongs TO the
Kentucky family Of Readings. He was formerly
a merchant in Mississippi and New. rleans, and
for two years a trspper in the Great Basin OF the
PsciGc-hAs been a resident OF Upper California
for eight yesrs-was Pay master In the California
Volunteer Forces, and the first 10 raise the Amer
lean flag in the State
The Loco Focos will, m ost probably. nominate
Major Roman the present State Treasurer. He
10 native OF Tennessee we believe, and was a
gentleman Of some political distinction In Texas.
He came TO California In the year 1919. There
are several other asplran's among whom we may
mention Gen. Thomas J. Green Col Jno. Bigler
DIR. Semple, and several others.
The present incumbent of the Office, Gov. John
McDougal, will be an independent candidate, and
will run without reference to any party. be has
some traits of character which will make him
personally popular With the people, but with the
whole power Of both parties against him, his eX-
pectations for success we should consider will be
somewhat doubtful.
The Wings and Democrats in this city are on
the eve Of nominating their municipal oticers.-
Considerable interest is felt by both parties. The
nominations will be made next week and the
election will come OFT on the 29th of this month.
Bv the next steamer We shall be able to send
forward 70 the States the result OF the contest
We believe we can assure our Wing friends on
the Atlantic side that We will send them tidlngs
of victory in San Francisco. San Jose, Stoc ktOn
and Sacramento. In the late municipal election
of Marysvie, every officer elected was Wing,
with one single exception.
Since our last report, painful rumors and severe
charges Of bribery and corruption have been
made against several members Of the Legislature.
That body have now the whole subject under
consideration. and it is hoped for the honor Of the
Legislature and the character Of our State, that
the charges will be proved to be without the least
shadow of foundation. Cal. Courier

her orms around me and wept in silence.
Suddenly we saw a slight motion of

lips, but, her hand pressed mine. She
smiled upon me, and lifting her thin,

She moved her lips in prayer, and thus
