The Legislature.

With the exception of the State Prison
contract bill nothing of Importance has been
lately passed through the Legislature, this
is by no means a popular bill, being looked
upon by many as a grand speculation at the
expense of the state
An act to legalize the election of county
officers in Trinity County has passed both
houses. We do not know the provisions of
this bill but suppose it to be an act legal
izing the election of the present county Off
GERS, from the fact that recent decisions of
the Supreme Court in regard to other coun-
ties have thrown doubt upon the legality
of the time when our last election for county
officers was held. OF any other of the pro-
visions of this bill we know nothing we
consider however that it is an important
matter to the citizens of this county that
the acts Of the present county officers should
be legalized, for should it be decided that
the election was really had at an illegal time
the result would be most disastrous plunging
the county into a maze of litigation impossi-
bic to unrayel We doubt not the bill has
ere this received the approval of the Cover
nor
Mr.. w. w Upton we see by the public
journals still retains his high position in the
Legislature and his friends in Trinity county
may well be proud of their representative.

SERIOUS ACcIDENT-SINGULAR CAsE-On
Sunday morning last, Mr.. Thomas Langford,
who resides at Mono, was dangerously in
jured, by the discharge of rife which he
was wiping out. The gun, which he thought
was empty at the time, unfortunately was
loaded, and the swab on the end Of the stick
fitting the gun so tightly as to prevent the
air from escaping, Mr.. Langford placed his
foot upon the cock of the gun, for the pur-
pose Of pressing it back to allow the air to
escape from the tube. While in this posi-
tion his foot slipped off, and the gun, which
was pointed towards his breast, discharged
the end Of the wiping stick striking Mr.
L. below the right nipple, going through
him and coming out under the shoulder
blade. What is most singular and unac-
countable is, that by some reaction within
the rife, the wiper was instantly withdrawn
from the body of Mr. L. back into the gun,
out of which it was not entirely forced by
the discharge. The gun was loaded with q
half ounce ball, which was found in the bar
rel, forced perhaps half way out. The rife
was loaded as it would seem to appear witt
the usual charge of powder. The wounC
was at first considered mortal by all who
visited him, but we are happy to learn he il
improving, and has fair chances to recover

Taf Alta California says that the effects
of the continual dry weather has been very
disastrous in the southern portion of our
State, especially in the agricultural districts,
and particularly to the stock. We learn
that in Los Angeles county, that at least
ten thousand head of cattle have died from
actual starvation, for a want of sustenance,
which could not be obtained upon the soil,
and the mortality is rapidly increasing
Unless we get rain, and that soon, the loss
and destruction that will be consequent upon
this drought will be incalculabe. The fol-
lowing, which we take from the Santa Bar
bara Gazette confirms the information which
we have mentioned and given above:
I'VE stated last week that in the county
of Los Angeles it was estimated that no less
than five thousand head Of cattle had died
from starvation 1t is now computed, from
estimates carefully made, that at least ten
thousand head have already perished, and
the mortality is increasing in a multiplied
ratio. From the physical conformation of
that county, a drought is more disastrous
there than it is here. That county for the
most part consists of level plains, while the
surface of this is broken and undulating,
traversed by narrow valleys, which are bor-
dered with lofty hills that protect them from
the blasts of dry winds and the scorchng
rays of the SUM-"

Arrival of the Steamship Sonora
Ten Days Later from the Atlantic.

1ch Do y LutcE IOiHA thc hi"heAS'
The Sonora arrived at San Francisco on
the morning of the 28th ult.
We CLEAN the following items of news:
Our relations with England are, although
not decidedly more complicated, quite unset
tied, according to diplomatic developments.
AlthouSh the usual movements in financial
and commercial circles indicate not the
slightest alarm in reference to a possible
rupture between the two countries
The whole Of the correspondence between
the respective governments in relation to the
Enlistment" affair, is published. 1t is a
vouminous and touching question of inter
national law, quite interesting. The opinion
of Attorney General Gushing on the ques-
tion is also published. The request of our
government for the recall of Mr.. Champion
was made on the 28th December last.
Minister Dallas has sailed for England.
A Washington letter writer contains a
curious account of the accidental omission
of Mr.. Champion, the British Minister hav-
ing omitted to communicate for some time 10
Mr. Marcy, the proposition of Lord Claren-
don, for referring the Clayton-Bnlwer treaty
question to the arbitration of third power.

The Washington correspondent of the
Evening Bulletin says:
The Postmaster General Campbell has
adopted plan for publishing the names ol
persons to whom letters have been sent tc
post offices in California and the territories
of Oregon and Washington. BY this system
letter can be sent to any post-of1ice in the
Pacific region, for person whose location
is utterly unknOtcn, beyond the mere fact
that he is sOmelchere in California or the
territories of Oregon and Washington yet
incredible as it my seem, the ultimate recep
ton of the letter by the person for whom il
is intended is rendered highly probable.

RoBBING HIS PHYSICIAN Frencbma

RoBBING HIS PHYsICIAN.-A Frenchman
apparently so great an invalid that he
could scarcely walk-entered the drug store
of Dr. Sharkey yesterday morning to be re-
levcd of his infrmity. The Doctor invited
him into the back room, and having on ex-
animation found that he was afflicted with a
rupture, applied truss to the part affected.
Other customers having entered the store,
the Doctor left his patient and proceeded to
wait on the former. He was presently joined
by the Frenchman, who asked for and o5-
tanned certain articles, and presented a $40
piece in payment Of his bill. The Doctor
stepped across the street to change the piece,
and returned and paid the Frenchman the
balance due him, whereupon the latter left
as deliberately as he entered. Soon after
wards the Doctor discovered that his gold
watch, valued at $3.50, together with a cor
nelian seal, surrounded by gold horse, had
been stolen from the table in the room in
which his patient had been treated A rigid
search was Immediately instituted for the
supposed thief, but he had managed to gain
o secure retreat-Sac. UaiOn.

IN AN English journal is a notice of a new
missile, invented in England, which is said
to have been approved by the Admiralty
and War Offices there. Itconsists of a shell
cast very thin, and lined on the outs,a,Cc ,,;
some preparation to resist the influence Of
molten iron, with which it is to be filled
and fired off while the filling is in fluid
state. Each she'll will contain fifty pounds
of metal, and the filling of each shell will
take twenty-five minutes.

PETITION FOR CoMMUTATIoN OF PUNISHMENT
OF ADELBERT HoEPKE, CONVICTED OF MUR-
DER-On yesterday morning committee of
the citizens of San Francisco, consisting of
Col. Redick Mckee, Mr. Gerberding, of the
Bulletin, Mr. Dopman, Judge Campbell, and
Charles Ruehl, of the San Francisco Ger
man Journal, appeared before His Excellen-
CIV to beseech the Executive clemency in the
case of the German, Adalbert Hoepke, who
killed countryman named Schondorf in the
street in San Francisco some ten months or
more ago. Petitions from judges, jurymen,
and upwards of 1000 Of the citizens of San
Francisco, were presented to the Governor,
and their presentation prefaced with peril
nent and forcible remarks by Col. Mckee,
after which His Excellency intimatcd to the
committee that he would inform them speed.
iy as to the result of his examination. Af
ter such investigation, the Governor granted
a communication of the punishment from death
to Imprisonment in the penitentiary for the
term of one year. And such Communication
was accordingly made out in due form of
law, and transmitted to the proper legal
authorities.

CARTER the man charged with the rob
berry of the Express on Trinity mountain,
and now confined in the Shasta Jail, has ac-
knowledged himself to have been one of the
robbers, and agreed to show where the dust
was buried He was accordingly taken by a
party to the head waters Of Clear Greek,
where aboat six thousand dollars Of the sto-
len dust was found. About three thousand
dollars of it belonged to Mr.. Hickman, and
the remainder to Messrs Rhodes & Whit
ney. Carter still refuses, we understand, to
diyulge the names Of his accomplces. Car
ter says the money was divided into five
parts, as nearly equal as they could guess
and then drew for it, each one hiding his
share separate and apart from the other.
p. .S.-We learn by Mr.. A. E. Raynes
who arrived here last evening, that $4,000
more Of the stolen dust has been found near
the place where the first lot was discovered
thus making about $4,000 recovered.

Coz. FREMONT AND HIS MARIPosA GRANT.
Below we give what is said of Col. Fremonts
Mariposa claim in the Atlantic States The
account wus originally published in the New
York Erenaag Post:
Col. Fremont has at length got his graat
MaripoSa estate fully confirmed to him, and
if he can succeed in taking possession of it,
may be regarded as one Of the richest men
living. The patent was signed by the Presi-
dent last week, and delivered by him at the
White House to Col. Fremont in person
Patents are now generally signed by the
Private Secretary of the President, who is
thereunto authorized by an act of Congress +;
but General Pierce signed this one with his
own hand The instrument is engrossed
upon parchment, and covers twelve sheets,
including, on large sheet of parchment, a
finely executed map of Las Mariposa, as sur
veyed by the United States Surveyor Gen
eral
The tract is upward of seventy square
miles in extent, and is situated about 225
/ from San francisco, in an easterly direction.
1t embraces the town of Mariposa, contain
ing from 5000 to 1000 inhabitants, and a
number of other small towns and settle
ments and it is estimated that there are
upwards Of Is, 600 people now on the estate.
Col. Fremont bought this land on the
10th May, 1916, of Alvarado, ex-Gov. of
California, for $4,000, in cash, and at the
time the old Californians laughed at it as a
very extravagant price. After a long liti-
CATION, his title has been fully confirmed by
the Supreme Court of Washington.
OF the value of Col Fremont's grant it is
impossible to speak with deiiniteness, as it
is, apparently, almost beyond calculation
Messrs. Palmer, Cook & Co., bankers OF
San Francisco, who had advanced heavily
to pay the taxes upon it, and to defray the
enormous expenses Of the suit, own one un-
divided half interest in the property. Col
Fremont alone owns the other half.
Already about thirty-fve millions worth
of gold dust have been taken from the tract
and the per centage Of earth which has yet
been worked even imperfectly, is exceeding
ly small. This is owing to the scanty sup
ply of water to be found on the tract, and q
canal is projected, at a cost of $500, 600, tc
supply this deficiency. When this is com
pleted, the revenue to be derived from the
estate will amount to many millions per
annum.

Theatrical,

!
The Weaverville Theatre is still rendered
attractive by Thoman and his troupe. The
performances during the week have been
composed of pieces highly amusing to the
audience, and the company have been well
sustained by them We learn that change
will take place in the company this week
Miss Lizzie Burbank's and La Petite Ce-
rto's engagement with Mr. Thoman having
expired, they leave the company. TO sup
ply their places, we learn Mr. Thoman ex-
poets an addition to his company from San
Francisco, and in the meantime the Theater
is to have thorough oyerhauling and re6t-
ting We sincerely wish Mr.. Thoman sue
cess in his endeavors to please the theater-
going community Those of the company
who remain with him, composed of Mr. and
Mrs. Hamilton, and Mr.. Campbell, have
been sufficiently long among US to have es-
tablished an enviabe reputation as perform
ers Mrs Hamilton in her lady like deport-
ment and her efforts to please in her per-
formances in which she has been so eminent
y successful, has won the esteem and regard
Of ALL Mr. Hamilton has always been
fayorite in Weaverville and as an actor is
certainly deserving the encouragement of
the community OF Mr.. Campbell, it is
only necessary to say that during the whole
Of his engagements here, we have never had
occasion to find fault with his performance; !;
on the contrary an evident desire On his
part to please the audience by "acting well
his part" has manifested itself upon all oc-
casions, and won for him their applause
Mr.. Thoman himself - well, everybody
knows he is good actor, and always trying
to please those who favor him with their
support.
La Petite Cerito had benefit last even
ing. We 60 to press too soon to be able to
give any particulars in relation to it, but we
doubt not she had good house.
Miss Lizzie Burbank and La Petite Ce-
rito, accompanied by Mr.. j. NJ. Langdon,
intend visiting the towns along the river du-
ring next week. We must say we feel lit
tie alarmed for the boys down there. Miss
Burbank alone is enough to raise the very
deuce with them, and we recommend them
to keep bright lookout or they will be
minus hearts, and as for La Petite Certo,
it is only necessary to see her perform to
cause us to wonder "some," how it is possible
for child to have learned so much. Mr..
j. w. Langdon, in the way of comicalities,
cannot well be beat, and if "Cho-ri-us' does
not please the audience we are no Judge
lie will no doubt prove valuable auxiliary
to Miss Burbank's performances
The Trinity Thcater (Drahmer's) opens
this evening. We have not vet seen the
programme Tor the evenings performance,
but believe, from our acquaintance with some
OF the performers, the parts will be well sus-
tanned. The Misses Pelby and Cleveland
are old acquaintance of the WeaverviIle
community; and Miss Fanny Howard it is
said, is emnently well calculated to please
an audience Mr. Paullin was fayorite
during his engagement with Mr. Thoman
last summer. Mr.. Mortimer was here with
the Chapman Family sometime ago, and was
well received The balance of the company
we are unacquainted with.

MISS SARAH PELLET, by the latest advices,
was still at Nicaragua. She appears to take
a very lively interest in Walkers welfare, as
the subjoined postscript to private letter
published in San Francisco, attests:
"P. S-Wc are regretting that there are
so few down from California by this steamer
so few to stop on the Isthmus. l want
to have Walker sustained There are ele-
ments of character in the man that give me
the assurance of his success"
