DEATH OF A CALIFORNIA PloNgsR.-The
Sacramento Union says that on the morning
Of the 95th ult., DR.. SEMPLE died at his home
fourteen miles south of Colusi. His death
was occasioned by injuries received by fall

eighth year of his age when he died He was
born in Kentucky. and came across the plains
to California in 1876 Towards the end Of the
ter Cotton, he established the Cahfornian at
Monterey, which was the first newspaper pub
lshed in the State. In the same year he took
an active part in what was called the Bear
Flag revolution. He afterwards in Genuine
tion with Thomas O. Larkn, founded the city
of Benica, on ground belonging to Gen Val
lejo. 1t will be recollected by many of our
old pioneers, that the proposal to make BENZ
cia the rival, as a maratime capitol Of the
State, of San Francisco, excited no little trep-
ilation at the time among those who had en-
ban ked capital in real estate in San Francisco
or who resided there. Mr.. Larkin afterward
place DR.. Semple continued TO be more or less
connected till his death In l849, DR.. Sem
pie was eleeteda delegate to the convention
for the formation of State Constitution in
August of that year The Convention chose
him their President almost unanimously

citizens for several years after 46. His con-

early history of California. entitle D.. Sem

THE PRoGRFss OF IowA.-The growth of
Iowa is surprising. The St Louis News says
that the vote Of the last spring election shows
great increase over that of last August, and
the vote of the present August is much larger
than last spring. Counties that had no re-
turns 18 months ago now show vote of two
or three hundred Not only'a are the eastern
and western border counties advancing in
population, but away in the interior the hardy
pioneers are settling down, and around them
will soon gather dense settlements.

NE- The amount of stock arriving in Cal

S- The amount Of stock arriving in Cali
ifornia by the Carson route, is something over
thirty thousand head Over thirty thousand
head are also reported to have arrived via
Mobiles Pass, while something like twenty
thousand have arrived by the Beckwith route.
The em!grant travel appears to be tending
more to the northward every season, and after
the distrust with which all new routes are
viewed by the eaigrant is dispelled by expe-
rience. We doubt not but what large pro-
portion OF the emigrant travel will avoid the
deserts and mountains OF the southern route,
and prefer the easy passes and verdant val

"A NORTHERN PARTY" Such is the head

End time honored usage of the democratic

SPEAKERsHIr, AGIAN.-A letter from Col.
WATKINS, which We have been permitted to
peruse, announces the fact the Col. is not a
candidate for the office of Speaker of next
Assembly. His long service in, and unswer-
wing attachment to the democratic party, and
his experience in legislative matters, we doubt
not would have placed that position easily
within his reach, had he desired it; but be-
lieying that he can best consult the interest Of
his constituents, by retaining his present po-
sition, he declines being a candidate.
We have, we think, in expressing prefer
ence for Col. WATKINS for Speaker, shown
that we were not governed in the matter by
sectional feelings, bat rather by desire to
see d man selected for that office, who by bis
former course would bring integrity of pur-
pose, experience and ability aid him in the
discharge Of its duties. The course pursued
by Col. Watkins in the last legislature proves
him sound and reliable democrat, and the
best posi- ble endorsement of his course, is his
reelection to the same position. Long may
he live to enjoy the respect and confidence CT
the people, and to aid in frustrating the de-
signs of unprincipled and corrupt politicians
Amongst the numerous candidates for the
Office of Speaker, we do not think there are
any who would give better satisfaction as
presiding officer, than Mr. WELLS of this
county. A practical business turn, united
with a genflemanly department aud agreeable
manners, together with considerable expert
ence in legislative matters, are qualifications
possessed by Wells in fn eminent degree, and
would place among the most popular Speakers
the legislature Of California has had should
the choice Of the Assembly fail upon him, as
We hope it may
Tn State Journal, in noticing the nomina-
tiun of Mr. Wells, says;
The member from Butte was in the fourth
legislature aud ucted throughout that turbu
lent session in such manner as TO secure the
esteem not only Of his constituents, but Of
people from all parts of the State

2r We received call Ion Wednesday eve
ming from Hon. J. E. CLAYTON, Member Of
Assembly elect from Yubs county. Mr. Clay
ton is decidedly in favor of selecting the next
U. S. Senator from the interior portion of the
State, and it is to be hoped that his colleagues
entertain the same views He is inclin-
ed to think that he should prefer Gwin to
Broderick, should the final contest be between
these two San Francisco candidates Howev-
er, if the interior members are true to them
selves, and the interests of their constituents,
we fancy the gentlemen from San Francisco
will be compelled to 'swait little longer"
Wejudge Mr.. Clayton will make an efficient
Member Of the Assembly, and will truly re-
feet the Wishes of his constituents
