.Frsna California.

The late accounts from California have
been of The most distressing character. The
continuous rains and SHOWS had prevailed
for fortnight previous 10 the sailing Of The
steamers, and bridges had been swep, away,
ranches carried off, vast quantities of stock
drowned, and many lives lost. The noun.
tain districts were almost inaccessible, and
The inhabitants are threatened with siaava-
ZION.
The miners, in certain localities, had
abandoned their claims and come down to
the cities for food. Corpses had been found
BY the way.side with provisions strapped up
on them. The unfortunate persons having per-
ished from cold and hunger, and cabins had
been crushed by the snow, and their inmates
forced 10 take shelter in mining holes. Al
the latest accounts, however, the violence Of
the weather had abated. and provisions had
gone forward, which it was hoped would
reach the destitute places in time TO affort
relief.

many suffer in their efforts for gold.

that as a mailer of course, he was entitled

he stated that what evidence was discover

Gardins states that he has in his possession
full and complete testimony to establish the

would appear, that he is an accomplished

BANK Tax INJUNCTION CASE The case
of the Franklin Bank agains. the Treasurer
OF Franklin county, on application for
writ Of injunction to restrain the Treasurer
from collecting taxes claimed under the law
of April IS, 1859, was tried before Judge
Bates recently. The State Journal says:
"ln this decision, Judge Bales held tina,
the clause OF the Constitution under which
the law is claimed 10 have been passed is on
lis face contradictory and inconsistent. Il,
specifies, with minute exaciness, the prop.
erly which shall be brought upon the dupli.
cate. Notwithstanding one. half Of tho prop.
ertY so specified is only The representative
Of the other half Ii then provides that
banks shall be so faxed as TO be placed upon
an equal footing with other properly, and
taxed in The same way. He though, the
former clause must give way 10 the latter
one, because he could moi conceive that the
Constitutional Convention ever contemplated
taxing hanks twice as much as olher prop
cry. This law does 80 lax them. and is
therefore Inconsistent with the constitution
OF the State. II is moi denied that charter
is contract. II therefore, the constitution
of the State violated pre.existing charter
II was in that far violation of The Federal
constitution, and must give way TO il. II il
a nulily. Any other idea would place the
State above the Federal authority, and can
not be tolerated for moment. Blu, ,hi.
question he did NOT consider j, necessary it
decide, for The other cLvercd the Who'll,
ground.
The Injunction was allowed.
