SAN FRAHcIsco March 23.-sSean.
MAG. keeps pace with crimes and felo-
nies. The latest and richest case is that
of "a somewhat celebrated actress, for
merly the wife of celebrated tragedian,
whose divorce trial caused great sensa-
ton in your city few years ago. 1t
seems that courtezan of the town, Miss
Rose Cooper, had taken great fancy
to a young man, named H, and had
persuaded him to accept her house, and
the comforts and luxuries therein, at
pleasure. He very willingly consented
to the arrangement. Rose soon discov-
cred that she had rival in her claims
upon H.'s companionship, and was de-
termed to ferret the affair out. Oppor-
-tunity soon afforded her the desired in
formation. The rival was an actress
Rose soon resolved to see this lady, state
the case to her, and make some arrange
ment by which the possession of the
gentleman should be guaranteed to one
or the other, entirely. After long
consultation, the matter was left to the
decision of the gallant himself. He
chose the actress. But something soon
transpired which afforded the Cyprian
an opportunity to again lay claim to the
loved on. Her attempt was successful.
She was thenceforth to have individual
enjoyment of the object of her love, by
consent of her more respectable rival
In few days the gallant's love began
to tire of his new mistress, and Rose had
reason to suspect that the new compact
with the actress was being disregarded.
She left strict watch upon the two, and
one morning early during last week she
repaired to the room of the other lady,
broke open the door, and found her con-
lectures but too true. The
indignant courtezan Immediately rushed
to the bureau of her rival, in one drawer
of which the key was lett, opened this,
and took from it lot OF letters that had
been received from her faithless swain,
together with copies of the lady's an
swers to them. With these she man
aged to escape from the room, notwith-
standing the resistance of the incensed
pair, and has them still in her posses
sion. 1t is said that she offered them at
the different newspaper Offices for pub
lication, but that all declined the honor
of doing so. She now intends to have
the correspondence printed in pamphlet
form, and circulated gratuitously. The
affair is known all over town, and cre-
ates good deal of excitement.
Another case is that of the former edi-
tor of prominent New York City week
ly paper, who has resided in our State
for the past two or three years. and who
was caught by the husband of a beau
tiful lady in that city, in a. manner that
left no room for doubt upon the hus-
bands mind that not he alone enioyed
the pleasure of his wife's charms. A
street encounter, and the departure of
the offending party from the State on
the last steamer was the result.
Duels are getting frequent AGAIN.
Last week president Walker and a gen.
tleman named Carter fought, and Wal
ker-was shot in the toe. A duel is to
be fought this morning between State
officer and A. c. Russell, editor of a
Stockton paper. Cause-some remarks
publishedupon the officers course.
The Kern river mines are now ascer-
tanned to be humbug. Hundreds of
poor fellows who went TO them in the
early stage of the excitement are now
begging their way back.
New systems Of fraud and villainy are
almost daily exposed, and always does
the exposure come just too late to afford
Justice and the arrest Of the perpetra-
tors. Meiggs--honest Harry Meiggs-
struck ont in somewhatnew line, al
though that elegant Wall street 6nan-
cier, Schuyler, gave him such a cue; but
these two pale before the brilliant ac-
complishmentof the latest operator-G.
Hubert Sanders. This gentleman came
to our city some three years ago, poor
and meek. He hired him small office,
engaged with a partner equally poor,
and the two hung out modest yellow.
