cation mora profound and painful. The nomi-

beam indirect Cass triumph; but to unhorse the
leader, and take the second in command, will
make his fall complete. g
Of course all the friends of General Cass are
to be prescribed, and Col. Benton himself will,
as Secretary of State, be entrusted with the for

The Neuces Valley reports on the authority
Of gentleman from Rio Grande CITY, that most

hundred, not more than dozen remained.
A cold-blooded assassination was perpetrated
last week at Round Top, on the person of Mr.
Stephen Townsend, an old citizen of FayettC
county, by man named Vaughn. The cause
OF the murder appears not to be known, and the
conclusion among many is, that Vaughn was
hired 10 commit the blood-thirsty deed,-The
weapon used was a BOWEL knife, thrust into the
side of Mr.. Townsend, while holding a familiar
conversation with the murderer. Vaughn
jumped on his horse and galloped off at full
speed, and has not yet been heard from. Mr.
Townsend leaves wife and several children tC

ExrRAvAGANr Cry GovERNmnNr.-The
Grand Jury of San Francisco county, at a late
term Of the Court of Sessions, made the follow
ing uniavorable exhibit Of the financial doings
Of the city authorities, in their customary re-
port:
In examining the affairs Of the city, the Grand
Jury is filled with amazement at the shameful
squandering of its resources. AT least one-half
OF the land upon which our city is built was
formerly its unencumbered property. 1t has
now passed out Of our hands, and also the rev.
enue arising from the s4le Of it. Who were
the parties that made way with the property
and the money Of the .ty, we are unable to as :
certain->nOr can we discover to what use and
purposes this money has been appropriated
The property disposed of, it is fair to estimate,
was worth from $3,000,000 to 50 600 600.
The present debt Of the city is estimated at s. ,
100000. Fer some purpose, and for some
cause or other, there has been expended for the
city nearly $5,000,000 since the establishment
Of American authority within its limits. The
city Of Sacramento did not own foot of land
within its limits, at the time itwas founded, nor
has it since, but what is secured by gift or pur-
chase. The debt of that city is only 1875, 600.
Neither had the city of Benicia any landed pro-
perty when it was laid out, and The scrip of
that city brings.S5 cents on the doar-and the
scrip OF San Francisco not over 40 cents. The
debt Of the city OF Sacramentoihas been chiefly
created by the construction of a levee, seven
miles in length, and the squatter troubles; while
San Francisco has comparatively nothing to
show for what uses her revenues were applied,
but the grading ard planking Of our streets, and
for this purpose the people paid from their own
pockets two-thrds Of the whole amount of the
cost.
