That Money!.

hAa -'A AoAEys
The last steamer brings the New YOrk
York correspondence of the Times and
Transcript, from which we extract the
following:-
"Mr. Cook, of the firm of Messrs.
Palmer, Cook & Co., since his arrival
here has paid over to Messrs. Duncan,
Sherman s. Co., about $5S,000, leaving
due Messrs. Duncan, Sherman & Co.,
about $12 1000 and interest on account Of
their advances made to the State. Mes
srs. Duncan, Sherman & Co., complain
that neither the Governor nor any of the
State authorities in California have ever
yet made any reply to their various let
ters regarding their voluntary liability on
the part Of the State. They have now
wpited four months, and are yet minus
$12, 900 and interest, which MIR. Cook is
at present unable to meet"
1t will be remembered by our readers,
that the whole amount Of money due as
interest on our State Indebtedness in New
York, was paid over to our States agents,
Messrs. Palmer, Cook & Co., last fall by
Major Roman, and on the first of January,
when the interest became due, they had
not dollar in that city to meet the de-
mand, and had it not been for the firm of
Duncan, Sherman & Co., who galantly
stepped forward and advanced the $780,
900, the credit of our young State would
have been blasted. They saved US this
disgrace and yet, on Monday last, when
our Assembly voted resolution of thanks
to this generous firm, and it was reported
to. the Senate for adoption, which could
only be done by unanimous cons sent, under
the rule, CHARLES A. TUTTLE, Senator
from Placer was the only man base
enough to object.
"Mr. Walkup desired that the objection
might be entered upon the journal
Mr. Tuttle said he haG no objection to
have his name placed upon the journal; !;
the Senator might have it written on his
own forehead if he chose.
Mr.. Walkup replied that he wished it
placed upon the journal in order that it
might be fixed upon the forehead of his
colleague; he did not wish him to deny it
when he got back to his constituents.
Mr.. Tuttle's adroitness in thus SCREEN
ing the fiscal agents of the State, from the
implied cepsure of a vote of thanks to
Duncan, Sherman g. Co, shows not an un-
prncticed hand in Withholding what Justly
and legally belongs to another.

District Court.

The District Court has been in session
during the week, his Honor, Judge Nc
Corkle presiding. On Monday the trial
of Brewster was commenced for the kill
ing of Foreman. The jury brought in a
verdict of guilty, recommending the pris-
oner to the mercy of the Court
The most important case of the session
has been the suit of the Yankee jim Union
Water Co. VS.. Smith, Ewing and Moss.
Plaintiffs in their complaint, claim the
right to the use of the water flowing in
the lst, Cd, Sd, 4th and 9Th Brushy Can
ons, and in the Shirt Tail Canon, by rea-
son of having constructed their ditch to
take up said waters and convey them to
Yankee Jm's and elsewhere for mining
purposes, and complained of defendants
for directing the waters of 1st Brushy
Canon from plaintiffs ditch, and prayed
for Injunction.
Defendants claimed that they were in
possession of land on the banks of this
canon, and that as riparian proprietors
thev were entitled to the use of the water
on their land. Also, that they had mining
claims on their land, and were entitled to
the use of the water to work their claims.
The plaintiffs introduced evidence to
prove their incorporation, the construction
of their ditch, the possession OF plaintiffs,
and the trespass of defendants. The de-
PENDANTS introduced evidence to establish
the defence in their answer.
On the charge to the jury the Court
said, that Congress had in no way legis-
lated for the mineral regions, but had ex-
cIuded them from the operation of all
laws passed for the State.
That the principles of common law in
regard to water-courses could not be ap-
piled strictly to cases arising in the min
eral lands and between miners without
working the most manifest injustice. The
title and right to work particular mining
claims, or to use water for such purposes,
depended upon prior appropriation, use
purposes was indispensable, and the right
to it depended as much upon prior appro-
priation as did the rig ht to work mining
claim.
That no ditch company, or other person
could divert water from claims worked by
others.
That in this case II the Jury found
from the testimony the the plaintiffs had
diverted and used the water of BruShy
Creek before defendants had located and
worked their claims, then they would find
verdict for plaintiffs, otherwise for de-
PENDANTS. That when miners were at
work on a stream, that the surplus water
might be diverted; but that sufficient for
an ample supply to the miners should be
left to flow in the natural channel of the
stream.
The jury returned verdict in favor of
the defendants.
The case of the People VS.. Brewster
was continued until next term, on an affi-
davit that material evidence was wanting.
Numerous cases have been disposed of,
and many laid over until next term owing
to the inability of parties to have their
witnesses present, but few days notice
only being had for the holding of this term
of Court.

The Last Spasm of the Placer
Democrat.

The Editor of the above named sheet
in his last issue, made good his reputation
for falsehood, while laboring assiduousy
to make the Democracy of this county
believe that he is good honest soul, and
that he is striving for the good Of the
party-willng to be the sacrificed calf
upon the altar, and 60 straight to Heaven
for his immolation. And in his eagerness
to appear worthy of his Broderick masters,
has perverted history most foully. But
we attribute this, not to his truthful
knowledge, but to his ignorance-a dis
ease which we have no doubt, will yet
consign him to that "stall at the Insane
Asylum at Stockton,' which he seems so
anxious of engaging.
We should not take the trouble to ans
wer any of the falsehoods of the Demo-
crat, were it not that our county is fast
increasing with new population, who
are not acquainted with events here of
the last eighteen months. The oldest
and most respectable citizens of the coun-
~ know, that by their appreciation and
support, have fully endorsed our course.
On the llth of September, 1852, the
publication of the Placer Herald was
commenced, as a neutral paper, by Il.
Mitchell * Co. The fact of its being
neutral instead of Democratic, was be-
cause the propretors had not the means
Of buying complete office, independent
of assistance and the Democrats here
could not raise money enough to aid in
the establishment of party paper, hence
the Wings were called in, and money
subscribed to enable US to buy an office
for the publication of neutral paper, the
money to be refunded when made out of
the Office, and every dollar of which has
been paid back.
During the Presidential campaign of
that fall, we did considerable job work
for both parties, and anybody else who
patronized us with their work. During
the campaign John A. Kidd, got US to
print some Democratic tickets with the
name of Thomas White, whig, on them
instead of B. f. Myres', and the same
week we printed several thousand whig
tickets for S. c. Astin, the Democratic
candidate for Sheriff. with his name in
serted instead Of Mr.. Henson's, the whig
candidate. We did all the work that
was brought to US, when we were not
crowded, like any other mechanic. The
Wings spoke to us to print their tickets,
but we had SO much to do, that the work
was sent to Sacramento.
The immortal "self-constituted'' per-
sons, who the Democrat says waited upor
us, and that we answered we had done
the "Kidd Tickets" because we were 9
whig, is a perversion. These individual,
conceiving that they were the embode
