RIGHTS OF WATER COMP 4
MES.

BY the reported proceedings Of the
1lth Judicial District Court, published
elsewhere, it will be seen that one of
those difficult an,t doubtful cases regard
ing the right to use water by diverting
it from its natural channel, has been ar
gued and decided in Placer County. If
the Plaintiffs made out their case by
proof, that they had diverted the water
Of the creek through their ditch prior to
the defendants tapping the stream above,
and turning it into new channel,
which is probable, then the jury decided
in opposition to the charge. But with
that, however, we have nothing to do at
present. What we desire to call at
tcntion to in this case, is tho extraordi-
nary charge of Judge McCorklc, where
he says ''thc law proposed to be passed"
by Congress, donating lands to aid in
the construction otrailroads, also cxcepts
them''-tbc mineral lands-from that
donation. The Judge was not called
upon to decide that point, because it was
not before tire court, nor could it be,
as there is no law upon the subject.
But if be gave that as his legal opin-
ion, without solicitation, and referred
to the bills introduced by Messrs. Gwin
and McDougal, in reference to the Pa
cihc railroad, then We have no faith in
Judgment, for these bills do not erclude
the mineral lands from that donation.
If however, he meant only the bill for
local rai!roads,we have no doubt that he
was correct, A Judge however, when
hc gives an opinion from the bench, on
proposed laws, when there are several of
the same class under discussion, should
be particular to designate the one he
means, so that the people may know
what that opinion is worth, and to which
it REFERS Stale Jour.

til it intersects the present line between th.

This line. it will be seen by the map, gives
us a strip of the NJ ,xican state of Chihua
hua and large part of Sonora. The con
sideration given by the United States for this
territory, and for release from certain Mex
lean claims under the former treaty, is ten
millions of dolars--srven millions on the
exchange of ratifications, and the remaining
three millions when the new boundary is
surveyed. The seven millions have been paid

the 18th inst, Purnel Jackson, of Worcps-
ter county, Md, was bitten on the end Of
his finger by copper-head snake, from the
effects of which he died next day. Immedi-
ately after being bitten, he drank a large
quantity of whlskey, thinking to counteract
the effect of the poison, but, unfortunately,
it had no such effect. When he died, the
whole OF his arm and portion of his body
were perfectly green. :

did, and if you ever do it again, will blow

HORNE responded, :" ! know you, and sup
