IMPORTANT DECISION The Supreme Court, on
Monday last, decided that Courts of Sessions have
no jurisdiction except in criminal cases. and all pre-.
vious action taken by them in civil affairs illegal
The point was raised in the case of Burgoyne &
Co. VS. the Supervisor of San Francisco The Chief
Justice in concluding the opinion of the Court COM
pliments Judge Monson thus:
"Ihis question was recently decided by the Judge
OF the 9th Judicial District, in an able and well
considered opinion, in which the same views were
taken, and which met with the almost uniform ap-
probation of the Bench and the Bar"
Judge Howell last week in the 1lth Judicial
Dlstrict, pronunced similar opinion. t..
We are informed that the Court of Sessions in
this county now begin to think they have been
kicked often enough to take the hint and let civil
business alone. The Court of Sessions in this CONN.,
ty is court of excellent spunk and has perseyered
manfully in the face Of the decisions of the District
Courts.

PAUPERs.--The authorities of Antwerp, Ger
many, have lately and for a long time been
engaged in forwarding paupcrs to the United
States and landing them in the city of New York
without dollar. Petty European Governments
have found the business of pouring paupers on our
shores by the ship load an excellent operation.
Not content with this they ship scores of their
burglars murdercrs and assassns, and make of us
jailors, turning our country into another Botany
Bay far as they are able. The authorities of New
York have lately seized an hundred paupers and a
score of convicts and the ship bringing them, and
are about sending them back whence they came.
1t is we'll to invite the people of Europe to come
and reside among u.s. but bad policy to allow Eu-
rope to empty its poor-houses, als and prisons of
their paupers and convcts shipping them at gov
ernment expense to the United States, to be su-
ported by tax upon our citizens.

Mr.. Bufum has introduced into the Assembly
an excellent bill, "For the better regulation Of
steamboats, navigating the waters of this State.'--
The Legislature should act promptly, and pass
good but stringent law on this subject. The fol-
lowing is section third of Mr. Buffum's Bill
Whenever after this act goes into effect any per-
son shall be killed while passenger on board of
any steamboat navigating any bay, river or other
water of this State. by the explosion of boiler,
the collapsing of ue of such boat, or when death
caused by such explosion or collapse shall occur
within sixty days after such explosion collapse
the heirs of the person killed whose death is
so caused shall be entitled to recover (from the
owner or owners of such boat, by suit brought in
the District Court of the Judicial District in which
the loss of life was so occasioned, or tho injuries
from which death cnsued as heretofore provided,
received) the sum of five thousand dollars unless
the owner or owners of such boat shall prove to
the satisfaction of the Court and Jury before whom
the action is brought that the loss of life for which
compensation is claimed was caused by unavoida-

THE Democratic members of the Legislature as
sembled last Tuesday evening in the Assembly Hall
for the purpose of harmonizing. MIR. Wells, of
Butte presided, and MIR. Johnson of El Dorado,
acted as secretary. All things went of harmoni-
ously for while when M: Flint of San Francisco,
in some remarks questioned the policy and mmac-
ulate purity of some of Senator Gwins conduct. At
this high handed and awful daring on the part of
Mr.. Flint the love feast commenced. Several
members expressed their feelings and nobody ap-
peared disposed to yield to the temptations of the
devil, but all were strong in faith and determined
to hold out to the end for their respective cand-
dates The Statesman says the caucus adjourned
to meet at the same hour ''six months after date

A PROSPEROUS CoUNTY.--The Sierra Citizen pub
fishes statement of the finances of Sierra county,
which shows very prosperous state of affairs.
The receipts of the county from the various sour
ofrevenue, from its organization to the first day
of November, 1854, are set down at $58,094 o.
Total amount of disbursements for same time, $685.
484 "a Leaving balance in the treasury of S4,-
600 %, on the lst of November. This includes
something over $4,000 already expended ON the
county buildings The balance in the treasury
will complete the Court House and Jail Union
Pretty good. Expend $005 more than the total
revenue on county buildings and have $4,000 left
remaining in the treasury, is good fnanceerlng--
Expend S53, ,484 and include $4,000 in the amount
is another nice operation. Of course Sierra county
is not in debt.

WEATHER.--Thursday we had drizzling rain
most of the day, just enough to lay the dust hand
somely. Miners fixed their mouths for broad
grin and actually began to smile. But Friday came
with sky clear as in June, and thermometer up
nearly to summer heat. Miners swear that water
is the specie basis, and that their banks have sus-
pended payment indefinitely, and will discount no
more until the reservoirs are replepished until it
rains thoroughly and in earnest

The Shasta Courier gives the particulars of the
lynching of horse thief at Red Bluffs 30th ult.
The cuprit said he would disclose his real name if
his captors would shoot him. His request was re-
fused, and rope placed around his neck and the
cart driven from under him. The body remained
suspended for some hours. 1t is said the victim
was from Rome New York, and about twenty-five
years of age.
After the burial, the body was disinterred by
other parties and his innocence established by pa
pers found in his pocket but mobocratic and blood
thirsty devils had their sport An innocent man
has been destroyed without trial to crafty the
whim of few men who were mad with excitement,
and perhaps themselves richly deserved hanging.

Messrs. Adams s. Co have erected a new fire
proof office at Mokelumne Ilil of which the Ama-
dor Sentinel says:
1t would reflect credit any city in the State !;
and the citizens of that town may well be proud of
it, And in this connection, passing tribute to
the great firm which is thus as by magic building
palaces in the mountains of California, may not be
inappropriate.
Unlike many others, who enrich themselves in
this country, for investment in the Atlantic States,
they yearly give the most satisfactory proof of their
faith in the prosperous future of our young State,
by extending their branches to every part of our
territory and avishly investing their capital in ed
fces to adorn it. There is no public enterprise of
any Importance in which their almost omnipresent
name does not head the list, or where there coop
GRAFTON is not invoked. Mr. |. C. Woods, one of
the resident partners of the firm in this State, is
President of the Pacific Railroad Company, Vice
President of the Emigrant Road Association, and
more or less identified with every other public en-
terprise that has for its object the advancement Of
the interests of the State and the development of
its resources.
This eminent Banking and Express house, as we
hear from the Union will erect u new and large fire
proof building in Nevada the coming spring.

Under the present system many of our public
public accumulate vast fortunes in single
year, while the people, the dear people, are toiing
and sweating under the triple burden of taxes, Ii
censes and fees. Our laws in relation to this sub
ject would be imputed disgrace to the veriest des
moral courage to move a reform ! are the Off

the Capitol The people with suppliant faces are
earnestly looking for action on this subject They
are willing to pay their officers well. The aborer
is worthy of his hire, They do not oppose large
salaries, but they do complain, and complain justly
of being robbed and pundered by law to enrich the
few Of truth is the servant greater than his
master in California.

am perfectly satisfied 1t needed no seer to predict
it, when the gentleman having it in charge post
poned its consideration for the sake of letting the
Nebraska bill be taken up. Good Pacific Railroad
men then said that if the latter measure was not
of more Importance to the constituents of fRepresen-
tative McDougal than the Nebraska bill, he might
have the latter and do without the Railroad. He

BY this it seems that Mr.. Inge acted without in

took occasion to assume the responsibility of the
proceedings himself He will probably have as
much of that commodity on his shoulders as he
can we'll sustain. Neither he nor Judge Oger can
we'll be supposed to have been ignorant--if we crc-
dit them with common sense--of the stay of pro-
ceedingsin the matter before, and the causes which
led to it.
What will Judge Oger and Attorney Inge do
now Will they take measures to have the in
junction removed and the Receiver turned out of
office! After the complete reputation by the Cen
