1t seems, from what we can gather from
the Ners that for some time past few In
daus in Utah and Cedar vallies have been
disposed to be mischeVous, stealing cattle
and horses, when opportunity offered,
threatening to kill cattle when they pleas
ed, and resisting legal examination into
their conduct. Matters were in this con-
dition until recently, when some Indians
killed two herdsmen on the west side Of
Utah lake, on the 2lst or early on the
22nd, and another herdsmanis missing.
On the 22d, party of ten men, with
writs from the FIRST and second o. s. dis
trict court, called at an Indian camp near
the South fork in Cedar county, to arrest
the Indians named in these writs, -I 4.
AS soon as the attempt was made to ex-
ecute the Yrits, the Indians showed fight,
and fired upon the officers, and in the me
lee one Indian and one squaw were killed,
the latter accidentally, and George Carson
was mortally wounded, and died about 2

The chief Of the tribe, SqHash-head, had

executed, committed suicide by cutting bis

Address Of the SccedtrS from III, american

la PmLADELPHIA, Tuesday Feb. 90.
The seceders from the American Conven-
ton have published the following address :
"We, the undersigned, Delegates to the
Nominating Convention now in session in
Philadelphia, 6nd ourselves compelled to
dissent from the opinions avowed by that
body and holding, as we do, the opinion
that the restoration Of the Missouri Com
promise, demanded by majority Of the
whole people, is a redress Of an uhdeniable
wrong, and the execution Of it, at least in
spirit is Indispensable to the repose of the
country. We have regarded the refusal Of
that Convention to recognize the welLde-
fined opinion Of the country and Of the
Americans Of the free States upon this
question as denial Of their rights and q
rebuke Of their sentiments, and we hold
that the admission into the National Coun-
Gil and Nominating Convention of the Del
egates from Louisnna, representing Roman
Catholic constituents, abSolyed every true
American from all obligations to sustain
the action Of either Of said bodies. i'9r
~We have, therefore, withdrawn from
the Nominating Convention, refusing to
participate in the proposed nominations,
and now address ourselves to the Americans
Of the country, and especially Of the States
we represent, to Justify and approve our
action; and, TO the end that nomination,
conforming to the oyerruling sentiments Of
the country in the great issue may be reg
ularly and auspiciously made, we propose
to the Americans in all the States to assem-
bic in their several State organizations, and
elect delegates to meet in convention in
the city Of New York, on Thursday, the
18th day Of next June, for the purpose Of
nominating candidates for President and
Vice President Of the United States.

SPANIsHrowS, Mr.. Cary, Of the Pioneer
Hotel, Spanishtown, informs US that the
gulches and ravines in that vicinity are
abundantly supplied with water by the late
rains, and that the miners are going into
their claims, which have so long remained
unworked by reason of there being no wa
ter. There are numbers of little water
courses in and around there, that are known
to be rich, and now that they are favored
with the needful element, there will be large
quantities of gold taken out.
The most beautiful gold in California is ta-
ken from this section, it being coarse, round
and about the size of kernels of corn, and
assays more to the ounce than any other VIC
know of. There are several companies f
Mexicans and Peruvians in the suburbs of
the town, who have heretofore been scraping
the bed rock with horn spoons and carrying
the dirt some three hundred yards in sacks
to muddy pools of water, and washing it in
wooden pans, making as high as two ounces
per day to the man. The town presents q
most prosperous and lively appearance.

Topics of the Day.

THE license which custom has
long granted tolawyers, permits them
to practice many little arts, which
would send any person but practi-
sing attorney to labor for Gen. Estell
at point San Quinten for a term o.
wears. Of course, there are many
in the profession who would not stoop
to such practices. But the class
known more particularly as criminal
lawyers, are as great pest to com
munity as the thieves and rascals
whom their sharp practices permit
to prey upon community despite the
efforts Of law and the honest mem
bers eff society. There is something
wrong about the custom which sus-
tains and upholds lawyer In defen-
ding known thieves and rascals. In
speaking upon this subject a Bay
paper says: There is at the present
time, to be found about the City Hall,
a class Of lawyers who vii, for mon
ey, defend known thieves when ar
rested and charged with crime
When the offence is proved upon their
client, and perhaps portion Of the
stolen money found upon their per-
son, they retain, as their fee, money
which they know can only be another
portion of the same fund, and which
is either paid them by the thief him.
self, or some accomplice, or the per-
son with whom the rest of the money
be had was deposited. Now, If the
old law maxim, that "the receiver Of
stolen goods is as bad as the thief ,
be true, in what do such lawyers diff
fer in culpabllity from other receiV-
ers of stolen goods? And why shoe
they not be regarded as such in the
eye of the law2
In view of the necessity for a re-
form in this matter, we should like tt
know what injustice would be done
by law which would cause all money
or other valuable effects, found il
possession of a person convicted O
stealing, to be taken charge of by the
court, to be devoted to the payment
of costs of court, &C., and to the re
endorsement of the person who suf-
fered by the theft.

lainous correspondent Of a corrupt
press could imagine. As there are
several subscribers to the Bulletin in
this vicinity it may not be improper
to notice the Bulletins correspond
ent. We have reason to believe that
this "New Yorker" of the Bulletin,
is the "Philo- Junius" who figured IN
an Oroville hebdomadal last summer,
and wheedled the landlord Of the
Orleans Hotel out of about one hun
dred dollars worth of board. We
desire our citizens to understand the
character of the Bulletin and its
correspondents, and if they choose to
attach any Importance to the llbels 1t
contains, they can do so. If the
productions of such miserable
creature as "New Yorker" can infu-
ence our Legislature in the choice
of two United StatesSenators, then In
deed is California unfortunate. But
such productions, in such a medium
cannot injure Mr.. Broderick with the
Democracy. They know the man
know his stern and unbending devo-
ton to principle, his past services.
and his abilities. They know too
the requirements of the State, and i
true to her interests and themselves

In the coming Legislature, We trus
that the claims of the north will b'

believe the northern counties have
the power to demand their rights IL
this respect, and hope that they may
for once, choose a Senator from th'
north, even if they are obliged tt
