CorRrs IN CALIFORNIA Thomas G.
Hambly, Esq. formerly of York Pa, but
now Il resident of California, in letter 10
the editor of the York Republican, speak
lag of - professional visit to the town OF
Jackson, Calavaras county, says:
Two courts were in session, the coun-
ty and the District Courts. My case was
the county Court before Judge Smith,
the very table on which Colver, the
county Clerk died, who was shot bv the
same Judge Smith few weeks ago, per-
haps very excusably too. The counsel
opposed to me. Gen. Anderson. q fine
looking old gentleman, was armed with a
huge bowie knife, that hung down like a
broad sword by his side, and l was per.
haps the only unarmed man in the body
The Judge had his revolver buckled on
the spectators theirs-the grand jury, &c
And as l said, the sheriff and his assis-
tants theirs. In fact, Colts revolvers
and raw brandy, are part orevery days
dress. The County Court was held in
the clerks Office, as the District CourI
was held in the court house. The latter
was built of posts set in the ground-nc
windows-the ceiling few inches higher
than my head, one end of the house en-
tirely open, and no floor but the earth
(Which was trampled into dusty except
four or five boards for the Judge to sit up
on. The building was about 25 feet long
and about is wide, Yet in this simple
building the most perfect order reigned
every thing transpired with dignity, ant
the law looked as much if not more ma
iestic than in brick and mortar with gran
,ite pillars in front.
