Esya Prithee, neighbor, why was it that
the "-4merican Convention on Wednes-
day last, in this city, revived and endorse
the obsolete issue OF internal improvements
by the General Government"
State Journal.
Because-The Pacific Railroad internal
improvement endorsed by the American
Convention is not obso}etc-is not exclusive
Iva Wing measure-ha5 been endorsed by
the Democratic press of the State, and by
our Democratic Members of Congress
Has the Journal the temerity to say that
the Democratic party Of California is op-
posed to asking the cooperation of the Gen
eral Government in the construction of that
great work? Docs it ignore the views and
action of its former Congressional Repre-
sentatiyes on the subject?
And why did they endorse an obsolete
Whig-M MiIlard Fillmore-for the Presi-
dency? Journal.
Because-They didn't. The Mr.. Slim"
of the Journal has been looking at the
American party through patent goggles, ;"
and has magniied its minutest actions into
monstrous Wing projects. If he will take
the trouble to study the effect of the Cog
giles on other objects, he may discover that
his vision is enlarged.
The News is trying to CANNON us.
Journal.
No, Mr.. Journal, no. We have too ex-
alted an opinion of your tact and profcien-
cy in that line of business, to risk an at
tempt at overreaching you.

PAUPER HILL.-Some two years since,
the Kentucky Tunnel Co. completed tun-
mel into this hill after an expenditure of a
years labor, and then abandoned their
claims as worthless. Sometime ago, a COM
pany of three men took up the ground and
extended the tunnel farther into the hill,
and are now realizing good returns. We
have not been informed what wages they
are making, but they say they are doing re-
markably well. The Observation-Disclosures
principle, would have probably saved the
Kentucky company many dollar.
The Sluicing Company adjoining the
above company have been doing very well
the entire summer; and are now about to
erect hydraulic for the further working Of
their claims.
ILLINOIS CANoN.-Montgomery & Co.
on their claims in this canon have been do
ing remarkably well the entire season. The
ground which they have been working lat
terly, has paid them from SIG to $40 per
day to the hand. The claims are extensive,
and will furnish them with employment for
a year to come, at least.
A pan of earth taken out the Orleans
tunnel claims Jones Hill, on Saturday last,
yielded Sc ounces Of gold; being, at the
rate of $I7,40 to the ounce, S974,4O.
The Rough and Ready claims on Canon
Creek, are paying S. per day to the man.

This was an action on several promissery
notes made by 8. l.. james to the plain
tiff.
The defendant alleges in defence that
the consideration of the notes was the sale
and conveyance of a patent right known
as Carvcr's Patent Scraper for Cabinet
Makers, by the plaintiff to said James,
and that the patent is not a new and use
full invention, and therefore void.

A PECULIAR CAsE.-A finder Of money

A PECULIAR CAsE.--A finder Of money
or other valuable property should always
take prompt measures, by advertising or
otherwise, to make restoration to the own
er. In Rochester, New York, few days
SINCE q dishonest man by the name Of
Thomas Hall, who neglected this duty, was
convicted Of grand larceny and sentenced
to two years hard labor in the State Prison
He had found package of $1,000, and
carried it to his boarding house. During
his temporary absence woman discovered
the package and took from it small por-
tion Of the money. Hall subsequently
carried the remainder to his brother and
asked him what it would bo best for him
to do in relation to it. His brother coun-
selled the honest course, hut before Hall
could adopt it he was arrested and held to
answer for larceny. Upon the trial it was
not shown that he had appropriated dol
lar of the amount to his own use, but as
he had neglected to take the proper steps
to find an owner, he was obliged to suffer
the consequences.
