ARRESTED. .-Cheverino, one Of the
murdcrsrs Of the Frenchman at jackson
three weeks ago, has at last been arres-
ted. He was taken up, With another
Mexican, fcf horse stealing, on the ca
layeras ~ gone americans who detec-
ted them ii the act. They were brought
here to be delivered into the hands Of
the authorities, and Cheverino was inn
mediately recognized. As reward Of
three hundred dollars was offered for
the apprehension Of Cheverino or Cruz
by the eitizecr of jackson, the persons
who arrested him carried him over in
charge of Constable Pierce, to receive
the promised recompense, and also that
the prisoner might be committed for
trial by the Justices Court OF that place.
CHEyERINo HuKG. As soon as Che
,yerino was brought into Jackson, he was
taken into the Justices Court for exam
ination. When his arrival had become
generally known, the most intense ex-
citemsHt prevailed, and some turbulent
spirits wished to hang him without ex-
animation. Justice Mcdowell presided,
and we are cre6ibly informed was in
any but fit state to sit upon the bench,
where fellow beings life yas at stake.
He adjourned the court several times,
in the midst Of the most important ex-
animation, in the most abrubt, undigni-
fed, and unsteady manner. Here is
an opportunity for the grand jury to
bring an Official dignitary to his softer
senses!l Mr. Edwin Gates, at the re-
quest Of the distressed mother and sister
of the unfortunate youth, volunteered
his services as counsel for the defence,
which he conducted in clear and able
manner. His summing up of the evil
dence was most forcible and eloquent,
and showed that there was not par
ticle of evidence ce--circumstantial or po.
sitiyc-to fix the crime upon the prison
er. He was. however, committed to Jail
by his sagacious honor, Mcdowell. from
whence the mob brought him to the foot
of large oak tree and there executed
him, in spite Of the moving pleadings Of
his anguished mother and sister. TAX
Thus ended the life Of this unfortu-
nate youth, who although he may have
been guilty, certainly deserved the i'm.
partial trial which all have o right to
expect in our land, ae sEssg r
MURDER. .--On last Sunday afternoon,
o dispute, which resulted in the death
of one of the PARTIES took place at o
short distance below Columbia Bar, on
the Mokelumne river. The parties were
Portuguese named Juan Flores and
Mexican called Santiago. The difficult

former, whom the latter wished to en-
tice nway. Florez states that Santiago

ed a rife, which was lying in tent,
and discharged its contents into the
breast of Santiago, who expired shortly
afterwards. Florez has been arrested,
and is now awaiting trial, the grand
jury having found true bill for wilful
murder against him.

night last, dispute, in regard TO wo-
man, arose between Mexican and
Chilean, whose names we were unable
to learn, at Jesus Maria. which resulted
in the Chilean being shot. The Mexi-

of the civil authorities. as he considers
it a case Of justifable homicide,
