TIE PACIFIC RAILRoAD.-The Marysville Herald

passage Of Pacific Railroad bill

lands to many of the western States, for railroad pur
poses, and took Ground that California has equal il
not superior claims upon Government and my idea

would suit us as well, and can under it as

framed it with that view and it gives 30 sections

DIsGRACEFuL AFFRAY IN THE L. S. SENATE
CHAMBER.--On Thursday, 22d May, while Senator
Sumner, of Massachusetts, was writing at his desk
in the Senate Chamber, he was approached by Pres
ton S. Brooks, Representative from South Carolina,
and told that his speech of the preceding day was
libel on South Carolina and on relative of his
(Brooks) The words were followed by a blow on
the head from heavy gutta percha cane, and before
Sumner could rise from his seat blow followed blow
so rapidly and with such severity, as to fell him
senseless to the foor where he was beaten until his
head was dangerously cut and Brooks cane broken
into several pieces. The House committee appointed
to investigate the matter report that the act can
not be regarded by the committee otherwise than as
an aggravated assault upon the nestimable right Of
freedom of speech, guaranteed by the Constitution.
This is the majority report-and embodied in it is a
resolution expelling Mr.. Brooks from the House of
Representatives. A minority report was presented,
sustaining Mr.. Brooks course.

VIGILANCE AND AMERICANIsM.-On Saturday eve
ming last friend handed copy of that celebrated
document, DR.. McMeans Secret Circular. We read
it, and after what we have seen in our time of that
sort of rickery, had difficulty in putting upon the
document its proper value. When persons occupying
the positions of those who signed the circular de-
scend to such low driveling means of accomplishing
purpose so sacred to those who put them into place
it is high time that the people-the voters-of the
American party, look after their own affairs. The
document attempted, in pretty direct way-its
authors dared not to fully show their hands-to fost
upon the American party the prestige of the S. F.
Vigilance Commttee-to manufacture Knownothing

the shipment of Mulgan & Co. We have been dis
posed to regard the Vigants as a San Francisco
remedy for San Francisco disease. Let the Bay

RUSSIAN AMERIcA.-Captain Lazakewitch, of the

Governor of Kamschatka, and of all the Russian
ports Oh the Pacific. This officer was in New York
during the year 1885, engaged in experimenting the
construction of two steamers for the use of the
gions which he now governs, and in taking models Of
steam machinery for sea-going vessels. He left New
York for st. Petersburg in February, and his ap-
pointment may be taken as an indication that the
Russian Government is disposed to keep up the re-
atons which he had formed with the engineers ship
builders and merchants of New York.

Nicaragua,

1h3 New York Herald devotes an able and elabc-
rate article, in recent number, to an expo
ston of tie state of affairs in Nicaragua, and of the
course pursued by the Government at Washington,
towards the young Republic. The Herald mputes
to President Pierce the most pusillanimous motives
conceivable. 1t says that the refusal to recognize
French was prompted by a fear of displeasing the
British Ministry. The recognition of Will is set
down to electoneering account-Pierce was afraid
Douglas would gain point on him, at the Cincinnati
Convention, in the manufacture of Young American
capital. The Herald goes on to exhibit the present
position and prospects of Nicaragua
The plain fact with regard to Nicaragua and Cen
trail America is, thai British interests there are as
dead as King George, of blessed memory For
Walker the crisis has passed There was a doubt
whether he personally would be able to withstand the
combined pressure of an invasion from Costa Rca
with foreign troops, of hostile intervention by the
British squadron of the interruption of communca-
ton between Nicaragua and the United States, of
treachery in his camp, of a severe want of money,
and above ALL Of the outlawry which the rejection Of
French virtually pronounced upon him. But we
learn by the George Law that he has safely weather.
ed this astonishing combination Of adverse circum-
stances, and that the Rivas government is still in
existence. This probably settlS the question:
Henceorth, apprehension as to Walkers success be-
comes gratuitous and pucrile 1t is considered i'm
possible by his friends that he can fail Already one
vessel has left New Orleans with men and arms ;
openly in broad daylight after public advertisement
with the sanction Of the authorities. Other vessels
in other ports have been laid on for Nicaragua.
There are in this country, at moderate computation
five thousand men who are ready to join Walker, if
they can do so without violating the laws of the
land Nor can they be hindercd from gratifying
their wish. They are men with families, and young
men who seek, not the excitement of war; but set
tlement in life and a homestead. They 90 to Mica
