NEW Misunderstanding the week quite a
number of ire-proof brick buildings have been
finished and occupied by our merchants First
comes Callaghan's brick block, 81 feet wide and
20 deep, built by Fuller & Son. This is divided
into four rooms, respectfully occupied by A.
Roman, C. Roethe, Wiener & Co., and Callaghan
g. Co. In company with large number of
" hail fellows, well met" we had the pleasure,
yesterday, of breaking the necks off of sundry
bottles of champagne, on the occasion of the re-
moval of Messrs. Callaghan & Co. to their por-
tion of the block. Mr.. j. w. Downer, next
above, has also just completed his fre-proof
building, being 80 feet deep by 20 feet 'front.'
In the lower part of town, Messrs. Litsch &
Spatz have just occupied their elegant fire. proof
building, which measures some "a feet wide by
20 feet deep. Still further down, we have the
very substantial building of Charley jaeger, in
tended for furniture store. Messrs. Loag and
Spencer, on their lots between the French
Hotel and James w. Downer's, are also at
present rapidly completing very fine ire-proof
building. These improvements all made within
a few weeks, give quite different appearance
to our town-an appearance, too, greatly to our
advantage.

The Na,uraliza,ien Case again.


We were a little too hasty last week in stating
that it had been decided that County Courts. etc.
had not the right to grant letters OF naturaliza-
tion No such decision was made-the state
meut Of the Supreme Court to that effect was
mere obter dictu as il is called by the legal pro-
-fession, and is of no binding force in law what
ever, further than as an expression OF opinion.
The facts of the case are simply these. Frank
Knowles made application before the Supreme
Court TO become citizen of the United States.
The application was resisted upon the ground
that Congress could not under the Constitution,
confer upon State Courts the power to issue let
ters of naturalization. Had the case been deci-
ded upon this ground, the decision would prob
ably have bound all aike-the inferior as well as
superior courts. But such is not the case. That
posilion was declared untenable, and the appli-
cation was denied upon the ground that the Su-
preme Court was court of appellate jurisdiction
only and therefore not empowered to act in the
case.
Here they should have stopped. But they
then travelled out of the record, and undertook
to deliver decision upon the powers Of other
Courts-a question which, after the ground al
ready taken, was not legally before them. This
decision, or rather obiter dictum, is based upon
different grounds entirely from that taken In ad-
judging upon the original case-namely, that
they were not Courts of Common law jurisdic-
ton, and therefore did not come within the re-
quirements Of the law of Congress upon that
subject.
Now we ask, can anything be palmer than
that Court cannot decide which is not
legally before them! If they could, they might
do business upon an extensive scale indeed.
They might, whenever they put on their judicial
robes, branch off on to the Suffer Land title
the y. S. Bank, or any other question which hap
pened to pop into their wise heads. Then in
deed would they become law makers, as well as
law deciders-a dignity to which many think
they have already aspired.
The amount of the whole matter therefore is.
so far as it relates to inferior courts, is not bind
ing in law and is of no more legal force than the
opinions of any other three men OF equal learn
ing and ability; and many such, we presume,
can be found within the limits of the State Of
California.
Our own opinion, as our readers are already
aware, is that County Courts and Courts OF Ses-
sions have Common law jurisdiction; and we
would therefore advise every man who has ta-
ken out his naturalization papers in either of
these Courts to continue to exercise the elective
franchise until that right is denied him by some

ARKANSAS Housh, Trinity, Aug. 90, 1855.
MEssRs. EDIroRs.-On yesterday, man
passed here with three bay mare mules, two oi
them were large and the other small one Be-
ing informed by MIR. Tull and Lincoln that the
same individual had been about Shasta a
short time since, and was rather suspicious
character. it was thought advisable to follow and
and know something about how he came by the
mules he had with him. Accordingly he was
pursued and overtaken at the mouth of Canon
Greek.
Finding that he was suspected of having prop
erty in charge without the consent of the righiful
owner, and not wishing to be inierrogated in re-
lation to the same, he made an excuse TO step
aside to attend to some private affairs, and
thereby succeeded in making his escape. The
mules were taken and placed in my charge,
where the proper owners get the same, by
proving property and paying charges.

WELLS, FARGO s. Cos, ExPREss.-Messrs.
Wells, Fargo g. Co., our readers will perceive

about establishing branch of their very popu-

explosion of few months back, Wells, Fargo

hibiting the least quivering. They have, in con-
sequence, the confidence of the entire CONNER
cial portion of the State. They have also, by
their promptness and fidelity in attending to all
business entrusted to them, won for themselves
q name as Expressmen, that is of itself the high
est encomium that be paid to their deserts.
s. Knight, is to be the resident agent in this
place. Judging from our very short acquaint-
ance with the gentleman, we are inclined to the
opinion that he is possessed of one of the requi-
sites of good Eapressman at least, that is of
being a good. clever gentleman
