EDuroRs CouRIER:-ln my last stated that
the bill to district the State passed 10 its third
reading by pretty decisive vote. Since then
the bill came up IFS final passage, and by a
bare majority it was indefinitely postponed
The vote stood 35 to "a. and it is believed would
have passed had there beer fan House. OPP
positieu was made upon the grosnds stated,
and a few changed their position in view Of the
same.
On Saturday the House passed Senate bill
for the relief Of Kerr and Reading for State
printing. These gentlemen claim Sl7 900 as
sort of damage from :he State for her failure to
comply with the contract with them made un-
der the Statute on that subject. The bill went
through with what the Nestor of the House
calls race horse speed" and is of doubtful pro-
priety.
The State printin4 Is among the heaviest of
our expenditures, and amounts to more than the
entire civil expenditures of Haahy States of the
Union. | am not at all immical 70 the craft, but
must say that with necessary contingent and
relief appropriations the printers manage TO OBJ
tain pretty large share of fhe oaves and fishes.
! The sixth Legislature of California has been
noted for its reform tendencies. Had there
been doubt lurking in the minds OF any on
this point, it would have been removed if they
could have witnessed the proceedings on Friday
last. That day being Good Fridays' an appeal
was made in behalf of the time honored custom
of keeping this great anniversary sacred. The
moral sense of members was appealed to in ell
oquent, earnest and genuine harrangues. and re-
suited in an adjournment. An hour after might
have been seen--as the novelist would say-a
grand procession winding its way to the g Lou
isana Course" for the purpose of participating
in the ditiae pleasure to result from contest of
speed between "Boston Colt, and Wake-up-
Jake" This Legislature has laid the moral por
tiun OF The State Under lasting obligations for its
strenuous efforts 70 bring about moral reform,
as well as for its financial reforms.
At times within the last week l have heard
the words ''Joiht Convention" senatorial
Election" "Coalition,'' &c. ominously whis-
pered in recesses and by places of the city
That an effort will be made to bring mp the cleo
tion III few days is almost certain Everything
seems to be conducted on the K. N. principle of
secrecy. A division of the spoils is the only
Terms on which election ean be had The os-
party against the innovations of new parties,
but the real aim will be- doubtless, to secure the
advancement of individuals whose ftonotion
would otherwise be hopeless If convention
can be had, an election will follow almost as
necessary consequence. But .ihere's the rub"
concerning which deponent knoweh nanght.
There is yet no sign of adjournment. The
Senate refnses to consider the tratter; and, as
stated on former occasion, think the people
of the State need not ffatter themselves with The
hope OF an adjournment of the Legislature be-
fore the first or middle of May.
Respectfully, KARL.

VIM. M. and @. have frequently stated that
they had two squaws in their camp previous TO
their difficulty with the Indians. We have no

The News.

The news of the Nicaragua steamer is OF no
great moment. The most interesting items will
be found below and elsewhere.
We have no later dates from Europe. The
Liverpool steamer was over due at New York.
and, it is supposed, was detained by the storms
that had been for several weeks raging on the
Atlantic.
Our relations with Spain. it is feared,
are assuming, indeed. have already assumed q
most alarming aspect. The late Congress, by
refusing to sustain Dir. Pierces foreign policy,
azad declining to give him the discretionary fund
of $4,000, 900, have completely paralyzed his
bands
-T The Know Nothipgs still continue vic
torious in many portions Of the Union, though in
their strong g-hold, Massachusetts, where their
grandfafbers used to bang witches fot the glory
of God, they have received severe defeat in the
recent town elections In Maine. however, they
have carried everything before them.
FROM Venezuela, South America. we
have news that win prove gratifying to Mr..
Speaker Stow and the Know Nothings generally.
The garrison stationed at Cora Venezuela being
nearly reduced 10 starvation, had broken out in
mutiny, and had plundered and demolished the
stores OF the Jewish inhabitants of the city. The
latter were threatened with extermination if
they did not immediately leave, and numbers
had accordingly fled to Curacao. The Cover
nor of the Islatd dispatched on the 9TH, two
Dutch men-ot-war to the Bay of Cora to protect
the persons and property of the Jewish citizens.
-On our first page will be found few
extracts from harangue recently delivered at
Salt Lake City, by the most coarse, depraved,
brutal man in America, we mean Brigham Young.
younger brother of BelZebub 1t is the most
horrid specimen of profanity and blasphemy that
we recollect ever having read. He first read
speech, to be published TO the world, which
would lead persons at distance to believe that
the Mormons entertained the most friendly feel
ipgs towards the National Government and the
people of other States. But to let his own people
know what his real sentiments were, then de-
liyered the blackguard harangue from which we
quote. The extracts are too Indecent for publ
cation, but for the fact that they are necessary to
enable our readers to form correct idea of the
moral condition of people whose religious
teachers are modelled after the fashion Of Brig
ham Young.
-The Sierra Nerada brought upwards Of
four hundred passengers, among whom were
eighty-three women and large number of chill
dren. This is the sort of population that need.
The presence of the pleading eye of beauti-
ful, virtuous women and the innocent ptattle of
merry children, will do more towards winning
men from the paths of vice than score of Acts
for the suppression of gambling. drinking, duel
ing and Sabbath breaking.
