The conclusion of the Martha Washington trial

,,,n he 1roce having been dealt by the giant hand
of such distinguished counsel as Messrs. Ewing and
Swayne must be considered master stroke oflegal
tactics. go
The defence had subponaed some three hundred
witnesses and made grand and imposing display
of administering the oath to this array OF course
the prosecution supposed all these witnesses were
to be called upon the stand, when 10 and behold,
after perhaps third had testified they were sud-
denly astounded by the announcement OF counsel
| that the defence had closed its testimony The
! stroke was bold and successful
! The prosecution intended 10 introduce rebutting
evidence, but the witnesses were not present, the
| Court could not delay to remedy the oversight Of
counsel, and the case must go to the jury. There
was no alternative, the District Attorney MIR. Nor

pare his notes. and arrange and digest the evidence

so, acquitting himself ably yet unsatisfactory to

Mr. Stansbury, that intellectual and legal giant
prepared himself to close the case; the prosecution
being entitled to the last speech, when another
announcement more startling than the first, in-
formed the court that the defence declined to ans

COUNTY CONVENTION. The whig eoun
ty Convention is called for the 25th inst.
to meet at this city, The township
meetings are recomssended to take place
on the 18th. We trust there wiA be a
general represent alton Of the county on
the 18th, SO that Wbigs may take coun-
sci together, and strengthen themselves
to effect victory on the annual election.
Wings and Democrats unite in censuring
the mal-administration that has involved
our State in disgraceful debt for the
purposes of vile schemers, and the re-
fecting of all parties execrate the meas
ures that the unscrupulous have en-
deayored to push through the past ses-
sion. Water lot bills, legal notice acts,
post warden bills, &c, have been adj
ministered to nauseating extent, and q
universal cry is going up for relief We
are gratifed to see that the movements
among Democrats leok also to reform,
and that they are willing to drop names
for substantial good. Every patriot (in
this crisis of'corruption such are needed)
should feel the responsibility Of the duty
devolving on voters to put only honest,
reliable men in Office, and sweep out
those who have made office the means
of plunder, and honors a cloak TO pecu-
lation. The time is auspicious for this.
We are more earnestly for reform than
for Wing administration. While we
believe the principles of the Wing
party will reform abuses if allowed legi-
innate act;o n, we will nevertheless sup
port no man for Office be he whig or dem
ocrat in whose moral and political hon.
esty we have not the fullest confidence,
and who may not be as fayorably known
by his antecedents as by the pr. fessions
of his friends. Furthermore al this pe-
riod men Of ab.lity are nGeded-not dolts
and drones, to slumber while others
steal. Come then Wings, and put up
the best men-men that democrats will
respect, and vote for, if for refor ton
alone, if those of their own party are
corrupt and unworthy.

Note from the Ladies'.

Mr.. EDITOR We are little unac-
customed to public writing, but beg
your indulgence moment. If we may
Judge by the remarks of your recent
correspondent wv G. 81 he feels bad
ly for having, in an unguarded moment,
been prevailed on by the ladies' of Grass
Valley to give some money towards the
May-day picnic. We earnestly request
the name of this much injured individ
ual, that we may make him the only
repara Jon in our power-retufn his dol
lar, with such interest as he may feel
his due.
We regret to loose the'good opinion
of any one, and can scarcely believe
that by visiting the quartz mills'' OF
other places where our fathers or broth
ers or husbands may be engaged, we
shall lose those better characteristics
supposed to be inherent in female char
acter, or forfeit the regard of any save
those who have grown gray in affairs OF
gallantry.' MANY LADIES.

OF many of our most substantial citizens
were IN attendance at the Democratic
convention at your city, for the purpose
OF representing that party in this County
at the State Convention to be holden at
Sacramento
Within the last six months this State,
at a tax OF between three and five hun
dred thousand dollars, to little more
than three hundred thousand people,
have made another abortive attempt to
advance the social and political condi
tlon OF our people by Legislation, but
from all intelligent accounts, it has
proved q most successful session, in Sc
curing party spoil--in burdening our
already groaning State with public debt
in strengthening the hands of the
powerful, already in power, and by every
turn and by every sacrifice of money
and of principle, they have endeavored
to secure beyond all contingency, the
continuation of that reign of terror and
of tyranny that has impoverished and
bankrupt our State-stigmatized our
Statutes--enriched a congregation of un-
scrupulous officials who have bargained
the State, and bids fair, unless stayed
y-the voice of an intelligent and patri
otic people, to mire it beyond all hope

in this county. Many of the mills that
have been stopped are being started,

that Judge Barbour intends to enter

ter " when the matter is finally dis
posed of" { though we doubt the au-
thority on which the statement is
made.1 We shall most fully re-
joice to meet him on that equal ground,
and we tender to him the Zee use of
our columns for any statements he
will make.
Since the pendancy of this case we
have avoided all differences from the
facts, and have reported proceedings
with the dispassionate spirit of third
party. In our statements we have
acted peculiarly on that individual
responsibility that must exist where
the whole community is verSed in the
facts, and falsehood would be too shall
low to deceive. Our present article
is demanded by the alleged course of
Judge Barbour in indirectly procur-
ing Justification of facts in the Er-
press. We are too vitality interested
TO allow ourselves to be placed in such
a position, or public opinion to be thus
abused. The Erpress shall have
our warmest acknowledgements for
the statement given it by Judge Bar
bour. AS we are the only one it can
injurc we know no reason why, as we
request it earnestly, it cannot be
given.
rsa. Since the above was in type we
have the Marysy;lle Herald of the 9th,
which says =
The editor [of the ErprssSl says he re-
refrained from saying anything about
Judge Barbour's conduct, because Judge
Barbour told him different story to
that published in the Nevada Journal.
In plain English, the editor of the Ne
vada Journal lied when he stated that
he had been arrested for contempt of
District Court, when he had only been
cited to appear before the Hon. (!) Judge
Barbour to show cause why he should
not be arrested for contempt!
Oh most potent, sage, wise and learn
ed Judge, truly A second Daniel--a
greater than Solomon.
Webster says independence means "act-
ing without biGs or influence from 9TH
ers." Who influenced the Express to
keep its mouth sealed Answer, Judge
Barbour, according to its own showing.
The statement" made by Judge Bar
bour to the stamp act editor was wide
ly different from that published in the
Herald and other journals" was it i?
Well, we haYe no doubt of it. We pub
iished copy of the writ ordering the
arrest of Mr.. Sargent, UertGtim, as we
found it in the Nevada Journal and we
will venture our existence upon the
fact that the editor of that paper pub
lished the facts as they existed.

Justices Court.

JAMES MORGAN was brought before
Justice Colburn on Saturday last, by q
party of miners from Moore's Flat, on a
charge of stealing silver lever hunt
ing watch and silver chain, under the
value of $50, to which he pleaded guilty.
He was sentenced to so days imprison-
ment in the County Jail. The Justice
remarked that the punishment was in
adequate, but the offender having just
received whipping at the hands of the
miners for stealing revolver, the law
left no alternative-and were it not for
the heavy expense to the County for
keeping him in confinement, he would
have inflicted o heavier punishment
The system of chain-gang is much
needed for such evil doers.

SACRAMENTO VALLEY RAILROAD The

SACRAMENTO VALLEY RAILROAD The
Union is still harping upon this puerile
project, as if it did not know that the
construction of this road to have the
upper terminus located as near Marys-
Vile as is practicable,' would at once
create the Benicia road. AS q matter
of self-defence Marys.ille would build
that road, and then the Sacramento
Valley road would be practically, and
as stock also, worthless. The salvation
of Sacramento can be secured only by
preserving its own trade, not by robbing
that of Marysville-we mean by ex-
tending its lines directly inland and not
by seeking to build up q rail depot near
Marysville.

RESERVOIR BRoKE.-We understand
that one of the large Reservoirs Of the

damage. This Reservoir being the one
at the highest elevation the flood carried
out all the dams below as the water
escaped by the ravine west of Cayote-
vile no damage was done to the town.
as on former occasions. By the break
ing of the Reservoir OF the Cayote Co
the principal loss is that sustained by
the company-as the water must run to
waste while the embankment is being
repaired. The damage sustained BY the
miners below was at first supposed to be
heavy, but we believe upon close exam
ination, is found to be quite trihing.-
The accident was not caused by any
crfelessness on the part Of the Superin-
tondant, but seem to be one of those oc-
currences which are unavoidable.
