DECISION IN A SLAVE CASE IN SAN JOSE.
We find the following in late number
of the San Jose Telegraph. This decision
is regarded as being very Important
"Two weeks ago we alluded to the case
Of George Mitchell, colored boy, who was
arrested and brought before Justice Allen,
charged with owing service and labor to
one Jesse Cooper, of Tennessee.
Mitchell was brought into California, in
l849, before the adoption Of the State Con-
stitutiOn, by one Cooney, and has remained
here ever since. The attempt to carry him
away, was made under the unconstitutional
acts of our Legislature and the bogus decis-
ions of our prO-slayery Supreme Court.
Before Justice Allen on the 18th of A
pril, the counsel for the negro made appli-
cation for continuance for ten days, to en-
able them to procure testimony The fur
ther hearing was accordingly postponed I'M
til the 10th inst, at which time the parties
appeared, and motion was made to dis
miss this case. Pending the discussion of
this motion, the case was moved from JUS
tice Allen by hG6eaS corpus, and Mitchell
was brought before the Hon. G. P. Hester,
Judge of the District Court. In argument
before Judge Hester the negros counsel
made the following points,
list. No State had the right to legis-
late upon the subject of fugitive slaves, and
cited the case of Pennsylvania U.s. Prigg,
l6 Peter, United States Reports, IL Iii
nois Reports, Thornton's case, II Wendell,
Jack Us. Martin, all holding that State leg
isation on the subject was void.
"2d They insisted that the Fugitive
Slave Law of California expired on the
l4th of April; and that the inchoate pro-
ceedings commenced under it before that
time, could not be finished on the 10th of
April. That the proceedings were carom
non Judlce, and the detention illegal and
void. Numerous authorities were cited on
this point; one from Illinois reports, and an
other from 8 Blackford's Indiana Reports,
were especially relied upon.
"The learned Judge coincided with this
view OF the case and declared the proceed
ings subsequently to the Statute absolutely
void, and that consequently Mitchell was
Illegally detained. He was accordingly
discharged
The large auditory received the announce
ment with evident satisfaction"

GE- Bank Failures !---S ory,ution
Eruption !!-&c., &c.-Moral and PHYSICAL Scor
butte Affections !!
At this time when the bursting of banks
Makes each man look out for himself,
When corruption runs bare-faced abroad.
And Security's laid on the shelf,
The subject should strongly be urged
That each man takes care of his wealth;
But how can he do this, we ask,
If be does not take care of his health?
That this can be done is quite plain,
And below we submit good plan,
Which when read we are certain will please
Each sensible woman and man:
Tho their systems be quite as unsound
As the Banks in this city are now,
There's remedy in our possession
To purge them as pure as the snow.
Take GUYsoTT'S EXTRACT OF YELLOW DOCK
And ''SARsAPARILLA' combined.
And soon-be the state of your blood what it may;
In this mixture, relief you will find;
'Tis the greatest and best purifier
That's ever yet been brought to light;
You'll find it at NINETY-FoUR MERCHANT,
At the Depot of
Yours, PARK & WHITE.
Also for sale by all the respectable Druggists
in the State.

Ing certainty
DIR. W. A. SNYDER, Oculist
nR. W. A. SNYDERS mode of treating disea.
L ses of the Eye differs materially from tbe
course commonly pursued by Physicians. Be-
lieving that most diseases of the Eye have their
origin in obstructed circulation or an impure
state of the system, his remedies will be pre-
scribed with reference to the disease with which
the patient may be afflicted; and by equalizing
the circulation, removing obstruction and restor-
ing the general health of the patient, the Eyes
NAV be permanently cured without the use Of
costic or any of the irritating applications in
general use. Dr. S. would say to those who have
exhausted the skill of all others without relief,
not to despair of a cure without giving him
trial, for in all cases where vision is not entirely
lost, or the Eye not completely disorganized there
is still hope.
