Two Weeks Later from California. !.

New ORLEANs, July 12.-Ths steamship
Daniel Webster, from AspinwaIl, arrived to-
day, bringing dates from the San Francisco
10 the goth of June.
The Steamship George Law, for New York,
would take 100000 in treasure, and the
dispatches from The Commissioner relative
TO The lsthmus difficulty.
There was no diminulon in the excite
menl al San Francisco, but il was rather on
The increase.
Few had responded TO the proclaim alton of
Governor Johnson. The Committee on the
other hand, were receiving recruits by thou.
sands.
The Committee had 5000 stand of arms
and thirty pieces of cannon. Thsir force is
divided into six regiments.
Strong breaslworks have been constructed
in front of the Commiltee's rooms, an alarm.
bell erected upon the building, and several
pieces Of cannon placed upon The adjacent
roofs, so as 10 command all the approaches
10 their quarters. .. s...
Gov. Johnson had gathered together few
hucdred men, with whom he proceeded TO
Benicia, with view Of getting arms and
ammunition from The Arsenal, but General
Wool refused 10 deliver them.
The Governors fo:ces are camped near The
city. .......
Six more rogues had been banishej BY
The Committee, and numerous arrests con.
Iinue 10 be made. ....
On The receipt Of the Governors procla-
nation, nearly all the principal towns of the
interior held enthusiastic meetings, endorsing
the action of the Committee, and in many
cases forming organizations TO assist the
Committee in carrying out their measures.
Crimes and casualties are numerous.
No interest whatever attaches 10 political
matters.
The reports from the mines are highly "a
vorable, as also are the agricultural pros
pecls.

Cooking without Nre.-Mr. w. w. Albro
has given several exhibitions in Philadel-
phia, OF a patented contrivance for cooking
without fire. The apparatus consists of a
tin vessel in which sits another dish, with
two or three inches between them at the
bottom, the space being designed for ma.
king coffee and tea Above this is placed
layer of quick lime, and on the top of
the lime is fixed tin tray in which is
placed the beef or other articles to be cook
ed. The water is then poured in upon the
lime through funnel, and falls in a shower
upon the lime. This generates the heat,
which continues from one half to one hour,
according TO the quantity of lime used. The
inventor claims for it, that it will cook as
quick as any stove, and at cost of quar-
ter of a cent for each time used.

ApARTY OF ONE IDEA.

A politics party cannot live upon any one
idea, much less upon one which processes
only TO be d Temporary measure and not a
lasting principle of political economy. The
-ant and ravine about Kansas is silly in con.
necton with the Presidential campaign, be-
cause Kansas will be State before the next
President takes his seat. There are Two prop
osilions now in Congress for that purpose
one 10 admit as Slate Immediately with
lhe Topeka constitulon-the other TO have a
State constitution formed early next winter, +,
in which event the Slate would be admitted
at the next session of the present Congress,
and before the 4th of Murch For one or the
other oi these propositions every man in
Congress is commiited So there is no need
for any agitation about Kansas, and the Re-
publican party is based upon this single idea
If il were possible that it could get into pow.
er, it would find nothing TO do, for all would
already be done.
And il il had the government in its hands
the party would be powerless 10 change a
single measure of the present policy. Il
could only agitaie and disturb. We have
seen This fully exemplified in The present
Congress. There is Republican majority
IN The House, and yet no effort has been
made TO restore the Missouri compromise,
which was one OF the things promised 10
be done when that Congress begged it's pow
er from the reope Indeed it was such mer
a Dayton The Republican, candidate Tor Wee
President, who years ago prevented the ex.
tension OF this Missouri Compromise line to
the Pacific, when patriotic men like Bnchan-
az aud Douglass desired TO give resi- 10 The
country up3n a subject which had danger
ously di>turbe The public mind.
AS 10 the Topeka co osilulion-it it was
formed by class, and not By lhe whole
cilizens of Kansas. 1t was formed by the
Free State men alone In such convention
as our political parties hold in The States 10
| nominate candidates and define parry creehs.
II was formed in defiance of ihe legally con-
s,iuled officers Of Kansas, and therefore in
defiance of Congress and The General Gov
eminent. The call for that Convention at
Topeka was not issued by any legal officer
under the State or national Government, nor
was it in pursuance OF any law. The dele
gates were elected by such as it pleased The
officers Of The election to have vote; and
nelhef officers nor voters were under any a-
bilnies fol frauds or perjuries at The election.
The bill which has passed the Senate pro-
poses 10 enroll The actual citizens of Kansas
with all the care and guards that The law can
furnish; and then 10 supply these citizens
with the machinery by which to form State
constitution. II imposes no conditions as 10
the character or provisions of that constilu-
ton; bu, in this respect is based upon The
idea of the original act of Congress for those
;errilories--hal The people of the territories
shall make their municipal laws:

The Forrest Divorce Case.

The New York Sunday Ailas makes some
explanations regarding the recent decisions
in this case. 1t says Mr.. Forests applica-
ton for new trial was denied, though "a
reference has been made with regard to ali
mony. On the trial before Chief Justice
Oakly, the Judge found all the issues in ia.
vor of Mrs. Forrest, with an alimony of
$4,000 and all the costs and her counsel
ices. The counsel for Mrs Forrest appeal.
ed from the decree with regard to the ali.
mony, inasmuch as it deprived her of all
right of dover, on the decease of Edwin
Forrest, or all interest in any real estate he
might acquire, provided her alimony was
paid. This appeal the Court allowed, and
reversed the decision therein made by the
Chief Justice. There seems to be deter.
mination on the part Of those who have the
power, TO persecute Mr.. Forrest to the last
extremity. He has but one resort left for
justice-the Court of Appeals. We believe
that the plaintiff in this suit signified her in
tention 10 let it 60 by default, if new trial
were ordered. Her. life, since the rendition
of the verdict in her favor, has been such
as TO inspire suspicion, and many circum-
stances have transpired to show that her
conduct has not been such as virtuous peo-
pie care to endorse. All things considered,
there was not shadow of justice in denying
the motion for new trial, although there
may be plenty of law to sustain the oppres-
siye proceeding"

The Religious Belief Of Col. Fremont.

The effort of Fremont and his friends to
repudiate all connection with the Catholic
Church, is one of those contemplate tricks
which, while they degrade all who take
part in them, excite the ridicule and dis
gust of all upright and liberal minds. The
eagerness to get rid of the suspicion of be-
ing Catholic, although the fact that FIRE.
mont ruas taarrsed by a Catholic Clergyman,
is dictated by fhe shallow purpose of catch
ing voters of those very Know.Nothings
whose support some of Fremont's friends
affect to repudiaie! What shameful and
shameless dilemma! What traffic of re-
ligious sentiments for political ends!
The religious sentiments of Col Fremont
would have remained as sacred from dis.
cussion, as his birth and his breeding, so
far as we are concerned but when an at.
tempt is made to make them an article of
commerce, we shall investigate his claims
10 sincerity and truth.
And we say, that his present attitude as
to his religious belief, is double insult-i,
insults the Protestant and the Catholic; the
first, by bidding for his vote on the bold
pretence of belonging to his sect or congre-
CATION; the last by cutting loose from him
as if he were pestilence.
General Scott made a historical failure by
attempting to coax distinct class of citi-
zens. They deserted or denounced him by
crowds. Colonel Fremont will repel all
classes in attempting 10 purchase support for
himself by an awkward appeal to supposed
religious prejudice Pennsytranian.

With Spain peaceful! relations arc still
maintained, and some progress has been
made in securing the redress of wrongs com
planned of by this government. Spain has
not only disavowed and disapProyed the con
duct Of The officers who illegally seized and
detained the steamer Black Warrior at Ha-
vana, but has also paid the SUM claimed as
indemnity for the loss thereby Inflicted on
citizens Of the United States.
In consequences Of destructive hurricane
which visited Cuba in 1914, the supreme au-
thority of that island issued decree, per-
hitting the Importation, for The period OF six
months, of certain building materials and
provisions free of duty, but rev oked it when
about half the period only had elapsed, to
the injury Of citizens Of the United States,
VINO had proceeded to act on the flith Of that
decree. The Spanish government refused in
administration TO tile parties aggrieved until
recently, when il was asscntcd TO, payment
being promised to be made so soon as the
amount due can be ascertained.
Satisfaction claimed for the arrest and
search Of the steamer FL Dorado has not yet
been accorded, but there is reason to believe
that il will be. and that case, with others,
continues to be urged on the attention of tho
Spanish government. / do not abandon tho
