SUCCESSOR TO GEx. RIcHARDsox.--A cor.
respondent Of the San Francisco Bulletin
writing from Marysyille, states that J.. Y
Mcl'ulile, who has been appointed U. S
Marshal in place Of Gen. Richardson, deceased
was formerly gambler at Marysvlle and q
partner of Charles Cora. The Ell Dorado
saloon at Marysville, formerly gambling
house and now billiard saloon is still owned
by J. Y. McDufie and L. Van Reed. The
following letter, written by the partner of the
newly appointed U. S. Marshal, was found in
street in San Francisco, and published
before the trial of Cora for Richardson's
murder
MARYsvILLE, Dec. %, 1855.

l.. VAN REED.
Miss BELL Cora, San Francisco.
The correspondent in speaking of the trial
of Cora and the appointment of McDuffie says
Whilst the courts are preparing to give him
the benefit of a trial by law, petitions are sent
on to the President to fill the vacancy caused
BY the death of his victim. Scarcely had the
forms of an unsuccessful trial been had, and
while yet deep surprise is agitating the
public heart, when the same steamer which
brings the message of President who relies
confidently on the patriotism of the people
on the dignity and self respect of the States
on the wisdom of Congress above all,
on the continued and gracious favors of an
Almighty God !"-brings also the appoint
ment of James Y. McDuffie, of Marysville, to
the Office made vacant by the death of General
Richardson.
Now what was the nature of the petitions
sent on to Washington, and who were the So
licitors of this disgraceful appointment Let
the President or echo, answer. Had the ap
plication been in accordance with truth, wor.
ded like the following, would it have been sue
cessful?
To the President off the United States
"YoUR ExcELLENcY.-The late Marshal
General Richardson, having been murdered by
Charles Cora, gambler, this is to pray you
to appoint an old friend, partner, and fellow
gambler of the unfortunate Cora, Hon. J. Y.
McDuffie, to fill the vacancy. The intimate
relationship which has heretofore existed be-
tween them, must render apparent to you the
propriety of the appointment.
With sentiments of esteem,

TENDER FowL.-To make turkeys
tender, the Egyptians used to pour brandy
down their throats about half an hour
before killing them. This is said to make
the flesh very tender, whatever the age Of
the turkey. We believe the same result
is produced by pouring the same fluid
down the.goose. We saw a biped last
week that had a remarkable tenderness by
having had brandy poured down it. We
should think it might have been a goose
by this remark it made, "damn my feath.
ers." Notwithstanding the tenderness, 3
pugnacious disposition was manifest, tho
exceedingly harmless otherwise.

REFoRM.-Our Senators and Repre-
sentatives, we earnestly hope, will bear in
mind their pledges of reform before the
last election. They ought not to forget
that they were elected as Reform party.
1t was the hope of the people that they
might put stop to official plundering-
and this hope elevated the American party
to power in California. Let the Legisla-
ture PASS few judicious laws, and repeal
a few obnoxious ones, examine thoroughly
the affairs of the State Prison and the
management Of the late California Land
Commissioners. This done, let the Leg
islature adjourn, and may the day speedily
arrive. If the party in power fails to
keep its promises in this respect it is
doomed. The pledges made before elec-
ton are binding upon every Senator and
Representative, and those who break them
will be considered unworthy of being trus-
ted by the people again. The hopes Of
California hang on the promises of poll
t;cians. Will those promises be fulfilled
If, instead of retrenchment and reform
the present Legislature goes on in th,
footsteps of its predecessors, well may
the people exclaim, in the language oi

CRIME AND ITS PuNIsHMENT.-The p San
Francisco Chronicle, in commenting upon
a new bill introduced in the State Senate
by Mr.. Tilford concerning crime land its
punishment, -"There have been over
thirty-six hundred homicidcs committed
in California within six years, and not
fifty, probably not thirty have been hung
legally for this large catalogue of slaugh-
ter" The Chronicle believes the reason
for so few convictions to be ''the unmiti-
gable punishment of death for murder. y
Without wishing to express any opposition
to the bill Of Mr.. Tilford-for we are in
favor ofany bill that will facilitate the
convictions of criminals-we entirely dis
agree with the views of the Chronicle
Jurors for capital offences are simply to
ascertain matters of fact The punish
ment of murder by hanging never yet
caused an homes. man to bring in a YER
dict of "not guilty. who would have said
"guilty" if the punishment had been i'm
prisonment for life. The real cause that
so few capital convictions have taken
place in California has been bribery and
perjury. That is the long and short of it.
Bribery Of jurors and perjury of witnesses.
Too many instances have transpired in this
State showing indifference on the part of
jurors as to whether they brought in a
verdict of guilty or not guilty. The re-
cent trial at Sacramento, of Philip Smith,
charged with the murder of Abel Rich
ardson, is case in point. The State
Journal says that the jury we're much d.
vided in opinion as to the case, but settled
it by putting into hat "a tickets, on IL
of which was written "Guilty," on the
other -, ''Not Guilty" the verdict to be
as majority Of cards thus drawn should
determine. The cards said stnot guilty, y
and so it WAS In any other place but
California such a proceeding would as
tound people but here no comment is
caused by it. 1t is a way peculiar to
California to establish guilt or innocence.

GIGANTIC PRoJECT.-It is said Bill
is about to be introduced into the Legis-
lature granting to individuals the right to
bridge the Bay Of San Francisco. The
distance is computed at about seven
miles. The object of the work is to con-
meet the city and Contra Costa with car
riage road at first, which is shortly to as
sist in the construction ofa rail track by
its side. The same structure is intended
also to convey water from the fine and new
er failing streams of the opposite coast to
the city ofSan Francisco
The Bay is reported as not to exceed
forty feet in depth at any place between
Rincon and the shore opposite. A wagon
road might easily be constructed on piles,
eventually to be succeeded by structure
of more durable foundation.
The cost of such an enterprise must OF
course be immense, but in the event of a
railroad being built connecting San Fran
cisco with Sacramento, Stockton, and 9th
er interior towns, upwards of thirty miles
in distance will be saved by this route, in
stead of a circuit by the way of San Jose.
That the cities named are destined to be
united at an early day by means of rail-
road, cannot be questioned, but whether
the shortening of the distance by the pro-
posed bridge will compensate for the enor-
nous expense which must accrue, is enti-
tied to consideration, which doubtless it
will we'll receive by capitalists before in
vesting. 1t is proposed to build the bridge
so high in the middle as to allow vessels
to pass under, or furnish it with draws, in
order not to seriously obstruct the haviga.
tion of the Bay. 1t is said there are par
ties ready to take the stock, and push the
enterprise to completion, should the
Bill pass the Legislature.
