VaIedictOry.

With this number closes our editorial
connection with the Nevada Journal. In
taking leave of our readers, after con-
nection Of three years, we feel called upon
to express thankfulness for the appreciation
that in many pleasing ways the public
has awarded US. We have labored to build
up paper that would command the re-
spect of the community, give its influence
in favor of morals and reform, and return
a quid pro quo to the community for the
patronage bestowed on it. In politics we
have differed with many of our readers,
but we believe not to point of personal
ill-will. Parties are safeguard to political
honesty-and honest difference should not
be degraded by petty malice. In our ef-
forts to establish healthy press we have
been entirely successful; the Journal is at
this day one of the best-paying interior
papers in the State.
With the press of the State generally we
have always been on good terms, and we
believe have enjoyed its respect. II we
have aggrieved any in the various topics
we have discussed, or the positions we have
assumed, we regret it, and can only say
we have aimed only to act on honorable
grounds.
The paper hereafter will be edited by E
X. BUDD, ESQ (; a gentleman we'll known
in this city during long residence. Ir
his hands we believe the Journal will fully
sustain its present reputation. He is ar
easy and fluent writer, and well-posted in
the duties of the profession.
With much regret we lay down our pen
and do so only because the duties ant
pleasures of editorial life are inconsistent
with the pursuits we design shortly to en-
gage in. A. A. SARGENT.

plishment Of which are confidently antici-
pated within short time, which will make
the region surrounding Nevada one of the
greatest mining regions in the world.
These, in connection with the railroad
enterprise, and other facilities for rapid and
cheap communication, are building up a
trade that is by no means insignificant.
Of all these things, we expect occasion
ally to speak, and always with strict refer
ence to the prosperity of the place we are
proud to call our HOME.

SOUTH YUBA CANAL-This great enterpris

SOUTH YUBA CANAL.--This great enterprise
there is now every reason to believe, will nc
longer languish for the want of the necessary
pecuniary means for its immediate construction.
Advices were received by the last steamer from
the companys financial agent, of the most en-.
couraging nature. Capitalists, both in New
York and London, had taken up the subject,
with great earnestness, and it was fully believ-
ed that final negotiations would be perfected
for the return of the agent in company with an
engineer representing the monetary interest," in
season to commence the most vigorous opera
tions early in the spring.

B2F The Democrat" insinuates that we
wrote the article in our last issue signed L. Da-
wilson, by calling it communication purport-
ing to come from L. Davidson" and also call
ing it "the Journals answer" We can inform
the editor that when we wish to express our
opinions we do it III an open manner, and dare
to express them whether they refer to "men" or
principles" We did not write the article.
and as far as we know it was written by Mr..
Davidson. Had the Democrat" replied to said
article its impertinency in putting its voice in
in other mems affairs, would have been equal to
that it has displayed by its paltry insinuations.

The Bribery Case.

This case which has attracted so much atten-
tion terminated on Monday. Mr. Peck has
been exonerated from all, even the slightest
imputation on his honor by every vote in the
Senate save one. So large vote leaves no
doubt that the exoneration is just, and the foul
ISLANDERS ofattcmpted conspiracies fall still-born.
A mans unsupported oath, under circumstances
where no other evidence could be appealed to,
of course could not convict Palmer and there
fore the Senate dismissed him saying the evi-
dencc was not sufficient e. e. fully conclusive)
to sustain the charge and yet sir Senators
voted against even that quantity of exculpation.
AS to the value of oaths, that of "poor man.
is as good as that of erich man." Mr.. Peck's
is as good as Mr. Palmer's, and the Senate seem
to have thought more of it. For our part we
would prefer the oath of a good whig against a
democrat when the latter was the accuser-
though we would not pretend the accused has a
right III criminal charge against himself to be
sworn. But democratic Senate and legal ed
ltors discover law that Blackstone and Kent
never dreampt Of We also prefer the vote
OF whole Senate in favor of Peck to the one
OF the same body against him.
We think it right the affair has been pa
tiently examined, for tangible charges of bribe-
ry should not be allowed to pass unexamined.
We presume at the next election many men
who heretofore have been democratic pillars
will not hold their heads so high, or have
chance to use unserupulous measures for party,
from m their believed completely in this affair
Inc people will remember the actors in these
proceedings.

Further Mexican News.

The following item is from the San Francisco
Chronicle:
The SUPPOSED CEss1oN OF SoSoRA.-Noth
ing certainly can be more explicit than the
following, which we translate usrbatim from the
Trait d Union of the 4th ult. There is not a
word of ceding any other portion of the terri
tory of Mexico than the small valley allied the

Mexican and American plenipotentiaries have

a secret for any one. In selling the disputed

Removal.
E. r. BuDD.

The removal of the State capital has
been defeated in the Senate by a de-
cislve vote. The Union ascribes this
to the agreement of the Sacramento
Senators to 90 in for the election of
the United States Senator at this sess-
ion, which made those opposed to this
measure vote against removal. This seems
to be the fact in the case. But to how low
an ebb has legislative honor fallen when
men will oppose matter not for its intrin-
sic character, but because those who urge
it do not fall in with their views in other
matters. The Sacramento Senators, in a
question of any nature, had right to obey
the will of their constituents, and should
not be punished in vital point for so doing.
Many Senators who voted on the first bill
for Sacramento, voted against the joint res
olution for removal. Their motives are
plainly to be read in their actions. By the
first vote they sought to bribe the Sacra-
mentans, and when this failed. by their last
vote they revenged themselves. Truly the
State can hope little Of men who determine
all questions by personal and factious con.
siderations, and not by reference to the
good of the people. If the accommoda.
tions Of Benicia are inadequate, the offers
at Sacramento are advantageous, and the
people decree in favor Of Sacramento
Senators should vote for the latter place
irrespective of other questions and if the
reverse in these particulars is true, the Sen
ate should vote down removal. Yet we
see men changing their votes according tc
the fluctuations of totally different issues
We regret the defeat of the removal, bu,
do not consider this vote any test of the
merits of the case.

From Australia.

The following is taken from the ALa Cali
fornia of the 9Th inst :
BY way of Callao and Panama we have news
from Melbourne to the 18th Nov The news
was brought to Calao by the Ariadne
Produce OF GoLD.--The whole amount of
gold shipped from the Colony of Victoria
during 1858, up to the 18th of November was
S40,154550. This it will be seen is about
S3,80000O per month, whereas the shipments
from California during the same time averaged
about S4,6OO,0Jo.l
The estimated expenses of the government
of Victoria for 1853 amounted to Sl8,0OO,0O0
The threats and murmurs ofthe diggers have
induced the Committee of the Council to report
in favor of reduction of the miners licenses
to 20 per month, or less when taken out for u
longer period.
There have been several large fires in Mel
bourne, loss about half million dollars.
The project of Maine Liquor Law finds
many advocates, the Melbourne Argus among
the number.
The temporary excitement caused by the
occupation OF New Caledonia by the French
appears to have passed away It is quite as-
tonlshlng how men can be SO blind to their own
interests but certain it is, that few persons
here seem to comprehend the vast Importance
OF the Polyhesian groups, and the influence
which they must ultimately exercise upon the
destinies of Australia. Melbourne Argus.

HORRIBLE MURDER.--The Sacramento pa-
pers of the 4th contain detailed accounts of
butchery equalled to but few instances that
come to our knowledge. We take the follow
ing from the Journal -
Another murder was committed about 70
o'clock, Friday, at restaurant on j street be-
tween I'd and 3d..
A difficulty occurred betweea two cooks,
originating in q ky-latking" operation, which
resulted in the death of one Of the parties.
In the course of the difficulty, Peters seized
large carving knife and plungel it to the hllt
in the body of Ferris, twice, in the side and
back, one of the wounds penetrating to the
kidneys. The wounded man lived but a few
minutes.
On enquiry, we were unable to learn that
there had been any previous difficulty between
the parties. .#s
Patrick Ferris, the deceased, was from Ken

last from New Orleans--a native of one of the
Western States-and formerly run on the Miss

than q years old and Peters is man of about
the same age. The parties each had been in

THos F. MEAGuER.-This celebrated Irish
patriot gave lecture at the Dramatic Hall on
Wednesday evening. The subject was Henry
G'attar and the Irish revolution of 1882. -
Mr.. Meagher is a fluent speaker; his construc-
ton Of sentences is beautiful, rather than forci-
BILE. The only popularity we saw to mar the
harmony ofhis oratory was slight Irish accent,
but not sufficient to be really disagreeable. His
illusions to the American government, and the
brilliant triumph of the revolution, gained over
the English, not only happily expressed, but
extremely pleasant to every American ear
But the parallel which he strove to carry out
between that and the Irish struggle about the
same time, we regarded as anything but COM
plimentary to the Irish nation He described
the Irish forces in the most glowing colors, Civ
ing them the appearance of invincibility; yet
arithout a struggle, even when the British were
so much reduced and engaged by other wars,
that single brigade could not be mustered on
Irish gronnd-when their financial condition
was so deranged that a loan of few thousand
pounds sterling was out of their reach-when
in fact, the Irish had no opposition, they tame
ly put their necks under the yoke-and licked
the hand of the tyrant while he was lettering
them. He closed his lecture by describing the
Irish history as one Of lamentation. From the
very first to the last, such was its character
Ireland has produced some men of noble
character among whom, perhaps, none stood
more prominent than Henry Grattan and had
the speaker confined himself more closely to
the first part of his text, doubtless he would
have left on the audience more favorable i'm
preston of the Irish character.
Mr.. Meagher gave another lecture yesterday
evening, but the early hour at which our paper
goes to press, makes it impossible to give any
idea of its nature

SNow.-Hitherto the citizens of Nevada have
never been plentifully supplied with this article

the numerous snow houses to be seen within a

snow too, afforded sufficient opportunities to
have them all well filled.

of a policeman at Fall River about a year ago,
will be executed under the law of this State,
having remained in prison one year after con-
viction. The year will expire in few days,
and probably the executive will soon appoint q
day for his execution. This is the first case un-
der the law of 1852 which was altered by the
last Legislature. Clough is in the Charlestown

THE CocK-SruR REPUBL1c A Louisville
paper, in noticing what tie editor terms the
Cock-Spur Republic OF lover California, says;
We are without anything further from the
Republic of Lower California. Our suspense
has become almost cxcrutiating. We want to
know all about those six brave fellows who
went out foraging for fuel, and after taking
wood-pile by storm. returned to their vessel
without losing man." Our anxiety is huge
also to hear something more about Colonel
President Walker and the thirty lon-hearted
fellows who landed with him, and fought the
dingy Mexicans for an hour and half, killing
six or seven and wounding more, and receiving
no wound themselves except from the Cactus -
We should like especially to know in what part
of their bodies they were wounded by the cac-
tus, and what they did about it afterwards !;
whether in front or in the rear, or while stand
