THE New REPUBLIc.-It will be seen by the
news brought from Lower California, that
president" Walker has issued decree" an
nexing Sonora to his Republic! Really, this
is the easiest way Of annexing territory that we
ever heard Of Another decree" changes the
name of the Republic of Lower California tc
that of Republic of Sonora. These DEGREES
are very powerful affairs, certainly, and it is q
great wonder diplomatists and statesmen never
thought of this mode of conquest before. 1t is
so very easy But we fear we may lose oul
nationality and become extinct, should these
DEGREES become fashionable. Who knows but
that King Kamehameha may issue q decree
annexing the United States to the Sandwich
Islands, now that President Pierce has taken
no notice of the wish of that kingdom to be-
come annexed to the United States Aye
there's the rub for he would have precedence
on his side. Perhaps the Emperor Soulouque
Faustin, L., of Hayti, may get the start of King
Kamehameha, and annex the United States be
fore him, and much depends upon which ol
these two monarchs gets the news that terrific
ry can be acquired so easy. We have, how.
ever, no great fears that president" Walker
will annex the United States in this summary
manner, and this supposition is founded on the
fact of his supposed friendliness to the United
States-but there is no knowing what he may
do, if he gets his "dander" up.-Chromiele.

The editor in his last, with a good many jokes
about whiskey, which may be very funny to

q 1t is our misfortune that we are not chris
tian, but nevertheless we would attend church
if it were for no other reason than to bring
back the memory of boyhoods years, when we
listened to the old blind preacher, as he leaned
upon his desk, the tears starting from his eyes
already CLASSY with age. After all, we were
happier then, than we have since been. Is not
this the experience of every body ?"

ATTEMPT AT ASSASSINATION S.
F. Sun says that Mr. Guyol, of the firm
of Grant 8 Guyol, narrowly escaped as
sassination on Saturday night Itappears
that there is a strong personal likeness be-
tween Mr.. Guyol and Capt. North of the
police, and on Saturday night, as Mr.. Guy
ol was returning home on Kearney street,
near Broadway, man stepped up and ask.
ed him if he was the Captain of Police, to
which MIR. Guyol said, why? Upon this
the assassin struck blow with bowie
knife, that took effect on his left breast
but fortunately for Mr.. Guyol, he had a
large wallet thiekly stuffed with papers and
cards inside his coat, which saved his life,
for the blow was given with such power
and aim that the point of the knife pene-
trated through all intervening substances
and drew blood. The assassin instantly
fled and escaped.

For the Innrnal.


Mr.. EDITOR: In an article published
in the Young America, of last week,
am held up to the public as murderer.
In my own vindication. and for the ex
culpation of those whom, it is insinuated
have been my "accomplices," permit me
to say a few words.
In last October, I wrote letter.to rel
ative in Prussia, which I deposited in The
Post Office, and we'll knowing its regula
tions concerning foreign letters, paid the
postage, (forty cents.
About month afterward, found the
letter unsent; and on enquiring the reason
was told by H. Davidge, that it was mo-
post paid. 1told him it was and that he
was the person who received it, also men
tioning the change | had given and re
ceived Upon this ne called me fa'
ard cheat, and otherwise abused me
/ then went to the Journal office, and O.
my own accord, and not at the instigatior
of others, as the article referred to asserts
published card stating the facts of the
case. 1886 i
On the day Of its publication III. Dav
idge came to the store where was en-
gagged as clerk, and asked me to with
draw what had said. told HIM would
if he would acknowledge that he had been
mistaken about the postage. This he re.
fused to do; when | declined retractine
what / had published. He then seized
me by the collar and swore he would make
me do so. shook him off, when he left
swearing he would make me rue it, the
hrst time he caught me out Of the store
After being thus threatened armed
myself with a pistol, not intending to use
it, save in self defence, in case | was at.
tackled.
On the next Saturday evening he
again came accompanied by two friends,
not as the article insinuates by chance
passing along the street, but with the de-
clared intention of beating me-having
stopped on the way, to borrow pistol,
which since learn he was refused. One
of his friends called me to the door, be-
hind which Davidge was concealed, where
upon he commenced beating me with a
club. / retreated into the store, he fol-
lowing Ese, and while | warded off his
blows with one hand, | took out my pistol
with the other. When he saw this, and
not u,ati then, he retreated. On the i'm
pulse of the moment-thinking he and
his abettors would renew the attack,
fired. The result, God knows, | have
sincerely regretted. But my consolation
is | have only acted as he, or any other
one would have done under similar crcum-
stances.
A regards the statement of my being
" the tool of more guilty accomplices," l
have only to say it is unqualifedly false.
In publishing the card, had no other
object in view,th the expression of my
own feelings. Neither was prompted by
any one, in any of my actions.
If any persons can be blamed as acces-
sories to his death, it must be those who
acted as his advisers and abettors, and
who came with him to assist in the assault

MINING.-The whole face of the country is
changed by the late storm. In every direction
the miners are at work, and industry and hope
fulness have taken the place Of tedious waiting
and encouragement. The beautiful weather of
the past week has been enjoyed in the fullest
sense, for it makes work in the open air pleas
ant, while the abundance of water obviates all
desire for more rain. Without any more rain
for month the diggings will be wcll enough
supplied water, while the great majority of mi
ners will be able to work till July on the past
tayors of the clerk of the weather. Merchants
also begin to wear smiling faces, for the pres
ent state of things speaks clearly of incoming
cash. If this mining season is as prosperous as
it promises to be our city will grow the next
year with progress unexampled.

LEGIsLArIvE-Lttle has been done in thu
Legislature the past week, save the examination
Of the bribery charge in the Senate Th'
House has done little business owing to wan
of n Quorum caused it is said, by the interes
the members take in the proceedings in th(
Senate. We do not think the House shoulo
neglect its duties, as it sits at daily expense
10 the state Of about $500, and should there
fore attend to the business before 1t. The
legislature has been in session q month, ano
vet has enacted no law Of Importance. The
revenue law and the practise. act, should
bothi have been thoroughly revised by this
time, and many other pressing matters for
Ierislation been set in course Of complexion
The BODY has been done some good by undolne
the work of the last session, and we hope Will
continue in the same spirit.
The bribery investigation has closed so fal
as testimony is concerned and the arguments
Of counsel are next to be heard. We believe
,be Senate will either dismiss the matter as toe
much involved for their dccision-lay it on the
tahle-or exculpate Palmer. We are OF opinion
that the body is too mnch governed by partl-
zan feelings to do justice, to Mr.. Peck. In
fact they have persevered in injustice in con-
ducting the examination, if we understand the
rules that should govern such an investigation
Much of this is undoubtedly owing to thought
icssncss, and that proneness with when men
see only right in their own party, and suspec'
everything in the opposite. Ii may be thai
now all the testimony is in, and no more
facts can be elected by any kind of Jealous pro-
cedure the honorable Senators may begin to
think what is due generally esteemed honorable
man and a member of their body, and give MN
tbe benefit of u cool consideration OF the case.
But we doubt it. We believe the majority Of
the members retain the idea they appeared to
have formed before hearing any testimony, and
on which they have acted, and that they Will
either dismiss the case, or decide against Mr.
Peck.
