NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 81, 1856
To the Public.

The close of the year 1856, brings our edito-
rial career to an end. During the twelve month
which we have welded the goose quill, it has
been our constant aim to give to the principles
of the Democracy cordial support, and to
make the democrat" readable. If we have
succeeded in accomplishing anything in either
of these points, we have been as successful as
most of men in their undertakings-if we
have failed in both, as Byron says, "what is
writ, is writ, would it were worthier," &c. &c.
SO much for the editor.
In taking leave Of the Democrat and its sub
scribers, most cordially express my gratitude
to the many friends who have extended to me
in numerous ways, acts of Kindness and have
supported me with partiality fear, greatly
above any merit of my own. The paper will,
l trust, be much more ably conducted in future,
and commencing it, and its clever and gentle
manly proprietors to the favor of the public,
am &c. &c.

APPOINTMENTS BY TIE GOvERNoR-Co Commits
sions were issued on Friday by the Governor to
b. F. Fox, County Judge, and b. G. Lathrop,
County Clerk Of San Matco County. 1t will be
recollectcd that the Supreme Court some time
since, declared the election held in San Mateo
last May illegal. Consequently the duty devolv-
ed on the Governor of appointing Judge and
Clerk but at the general election last Novem-
Der, the present county officials each received at
one precinct some thirty votes, which, in the
opinion of the Attorney General, entitled them
to their offices, bnt that there may be no uncer-
tainty about the matter, the Governor issued
commissions to the gentlemen above referred
to.

THE STATE FINANCES. appears by the Sac
ramento papers that an extensive system of
swlndling has been carried on by the officers of
some OF the counties, who have been in the hab-
it of collecting taxes in cash, and paying into
the State Treasury, deprecated State warrants.
The law, we believe, requires that the tax-col-
lectors shall pay over the same funds which they
collect, making oath to that effect, but this pro
vision has been avoided by some of the officers,
who have sent the funds to the State Treasurer,
through some person who had nothing to do
with the collection of the taxes. This matter
VIII require looking into by the Legislature.

Gov. BIGLER.-The organs of the late Know
Nothing party, and several Of the selEstyled in
dependent papers, in noticing the reception of
Gov Bigler by the citizens of Sacramento, have
taken occasion to pour out column or SO of
abuse upon the head of that gentleman. The
reception of Gov. Bigler by the people of Sac
ramento, among whom he has long resided, and
by those who know him best, was hattering
tribute of respect to him as a Citizen and an APP
proval of his acts as public officer During
the four years that he administered our State
government, an opportunity was never suffered
to pass by the opposition papers to SANDER and
vilify him; and now, while he is merely pri-
vate citizen, they persist in the same course,
probably from the force of habit, and stupidity
reiterate the stale electioneering roorbacks of
years gone by. These papers may continue to
vent their spleen upon Gov. Bigler, but they
will never be able to njure him in the estima
tion of the people of this State, or detract one
iota from his well earned reputation as an hon
est man, and faithful and efficient public Off
GER.

SPORTING IyrELIIcENcE.-Jas. Kennoyan, Tho

SPORTING ISTELLGENCE.-Jas Kennovan, the
pedestrian, recently made bet of $500 that he
would draw a sulky six miles in ffty-eight min
utes, over the Pioneer Course, San Francisco.
He made the attempt on Friday last, which re-
suited in his losing the wager. He undertook
the task, however, before he had recovered from
his late feat of walking one hundred and six con-
secutive hours, and the track was very muddy
at the time. The first four miles he made in
forty-four minutes, but after running to the
quarter pole on the fifth mile, his legs failed
him and he fell. He was Immediately borne
from the track, but quickly revived and again
made his appearance, and offered to renew the
bet, provided the trial should take place when
the track was in good order.

HIGnwAY ROBBERY.-On Tuesday the 23d inst.
on the road between Folsom and Auburn a
by five men. He was driving slowly with six
mule team, when two persons in masks, sudden
ly appeared and demanded his money. The
teamster whipped up, Notwithstanding threats
to shoot, but he was again arrested, little fur
ther on, by three more men, who made another
demand. On assuring them he had no money,
they replied he was a ID liar as they knew of
his receiving $50 for freight. He then again
undertook to whip up, but after being shot at
two or three times, he concluded to halt, when
he was relieved of SlO5. 1t is highly probable
that these men are some of the remnants of Tom
Bells gang.

THE LAST OF THE YUBAs-The Sacrame nto
uopers give an account of the removal OF the
remnant of the once numerous tribe OF uDa ln-
dams. from their old stamping ground, opposite
Marysville, on the Feather river, to the Nomee-
Iackee reservation. This tribe was once very
numerous, but we Judge, there is some mistake
in the statement that they numbered two thou-
sand ten years ago. In lS4S they numbered De-
tween four and five hundred and in 1850, not
over three hundred. Since that time they have
been gradually decreasing, and there are no"
but sixty-six, men, women and children, OF the
tribe left. OF this number thirty-six are men,
twenty women, and ten children. The 1ubas
at first promised to go willingly to the reserva-
ton, but when the time arrived, they backed
out and refused to comply. Col. Henley then
told them that he had been ordered to remove
them, and they must obey, at the same time en-
forcing his mandates by strong police force
Their Chief, Capt John, is represented as a fine
looking, dignifed warrior, and very loath to
leave his ancient hunting grounds for strange
country. So afflicted were they at the removal
that they burned everything they possessed even
to the food they had prepared for the winters
consumption.
The Indians were once very numerous along
the Feather river. But they were nearly al
carried off by the smallpox, about twenty-thret
years ago. From some cause, the Yubasalmos
wholly escaped this terrible scourge, which took
off whole tribes in their neighborhood, some OF
which must have been nearly, if not quite as
numerous as themselves. In lS48, at depopu-
lated rancheria some twelve miles above Yuba
City, as many as two hundred Indian skulls
could have been counted above the ground
They had evidently died off so fast that there
were none left to bury or burn their dead.

THE CABINET.-The eastern papers are ind,,.
ing in speculations as to who will csmpose Ms
Buchanan's Cabinet. The Lancaster Pa) p,
press. after reviewing the whole ground. como.
to the conclusion that the Cabinet Will stors
something like this
Hon. Lewis Coss, of Michigan, Secretary Of
State
Hon. R. NJ t. Hunter, of Virginia, Secretary
of the Treasury.
Hon. John Appleton, of Maine, Secretary.of
the Interior.
Hon. Howell Cobb, of Georgia, Secretary. Of.
the Navy. T4
Hon. James A. Bayard, of Delaware, Secretu.-
ry of War.
Hon. jesse D. Bright, Of Indiana, Postmaster.
General.
Hon. Josiah Randall, Of Pennsylvania. Attor.
ney General.
That the gentlemen above named will be ten
dered the places we have respectively assigned
them we have no doubt; whether they will all
accept is not SO certain, though the probabilities
are that they will. The fact that Mr.. Cass ac-
companied Mr.. Buchanan to Mr.. Clayton's fu-
neral yesterday, where they would meet Mr..
Bayard may not be without its Specification
The friends of Gen. Cass rendered important
service to the President elect in the late contest
and the presumption is natural that he will be
assigned the post Of honor. Mr.. Bayard render
ed very important services at Cincinnati, which
it would not do to overlook; while Mr. Randall,
as the representative of the old line Wing infiu-.
ence. performed similarly important services,
on the same occasion. Mr.. Hunter will be Sc.
lected as a compromise between the radcalisml
of Gov. Wise and the large class in the South
who do not regard the eXtention of slavery as
necessary to the security of the Union. The Sc
lection of Mr.. Bright is due to Indiana, where
his labors and influence told effectively in the.
late canvass in that State.

ATTEMPTED RoBBERY.-Mr. VIM. II. Abel, a
merchant of Oroville, recently called upon the
Marysville EHpress and related the following
bold attempt at robbery He was on his way
from Oroville to Marysvlle, and when about
two miles from the latter place, three men
sprang from behind tree standing near the
road and attempted to seize his horse He or
dered them to stand off, at the same time rein
ing his horse one side, when one drew pistol
and the others rushed upon him again. Instant
ly he drew his revolver from his Logging, where
he carried it, and fired at the nearest man who
cried out as if shot and fell, at the same time
his pistol, the ball from which pass
ed through Mr.. Abell's hat, and pulled the hair
on the top of his head. Seeing the others
he threw himself on the side of his
horse and fired again under its neck, and this
time too, he thinks, he hit his man, who also re-
turned his fire and then run. Mr.. Abel sent a
third shot after him, but this he thinks did not
take effect.

That last shot of the Journal, over the shoul-
der of a lawyer, we confess, has spoiled our ap-
petite for the keen encounter of its scit There
are sometimes, illusions which even malignity
dares not venture upon, and that in the Journal,
in our ritual of taste, is one of them We can
not retort for we apprehend there is little dam
ger of the editor of the Journal ever passing the
ordeal Of fire in any cause good or bad. We

father or mother had been struck by the light

UNwAvERING DEMOCRAT ANswERED.-Th wri-
ter in the Sacramento Union, styling himself
'Unwavering Democrat" in one of his commu-
ncations, charged that DR.. Gwin had promised
the Naval Office to Messrs. Vaudeville, 0'Meara
aud Cameron, and the U. S. Marshalship to
Messrs. Solomon, Buel, and Geo. Pen Johnston,
in the event of his election to the U. S. Senate.
Mr.. Johnston, in card published in the San
Francisco Sua, on the part of himself and the
other gentlemen named in connection with the
above offices, denounces the charge as a base
and infamous falsehood

San FRANCIsCo SHERIFF.-On Saturday last.
Dec 9th, thequestion of the Sherifality of San
Francisco, between David Scanncll and Charles
Doanc came up before Judge Norton, of the
18th District Court. and was decided in favor
of Mr.. Doanc. 1t was argued by the counsel for
Mr.. Scannell, that the San Francisco Consolida-
ton act, was unconstitutional. Judge Norton
intimatcd that the act might be unconstitution-
al for the following reason:
That the first article of that act abolished
the constitutional division of the State, which is
into counties, by merging the county heretofore
existing into n city government, under q new
name of 'city and county" Upon this point he
said, it presented a question of serious diff cu-
ty, particularly as the Sth section of the act of
1851, which designated the boundaries and Gre
ated the county of San Francisco, was expressly
repealed. 1t was difficult for him to understand
how the mere addition of the words "and coun-
ty" in the first section of Consolidation Act,
made this county but still, as this case was
one OF vast moment, and would certainly 90 up
to the Supreme Court, he would not undertake
to pronounce the Act unconstitutional
Judge Norton then said that, if the next term
of the Supreme Court were not so near. he
would order rchcaring on that point; but con-
sdering the circumstances, he would decide that
Mr.. Scannell should be ousted from the office of
Sheriff. and Mr.. Doanc installed into it,

wA1xrn N NICaRAouA-A writer in the S. F.

WALKER IN NICARAGUA.-A writer In the S. F.
Bulletin, in two column communication, draws
a dismal picture of the prospects of Walker and
his followers in Nicaragua. The writer endeav-
ors to impress the people of this State with the
idea that the cause of the Americans in that
country is desperate one, and that they we're
in danger of being completely overpowered by
the forces of other central American States,
aided by Great Britain and France. The asser-
tions of this writer are not borne out, however,
by other and more reliable informants, and his
object undoubtedly is to discourage those who
may be disposed to join their fortunes with that
of their countrymen in Nicaragua, from leaving
this State for that purpose. From the various
and somewhat conflicting statements published,
of the condition of affairs in Nicaragua, we can
see no reason why the friends of Walker and
his cause, should feel any uneasiness in regard
to his present position. The Costa Rican for
ces had been driven out of the country, and al
though few Guerrilla bands might have still
been committing depredations at our last ac.
counts the war was virtually at an end. We
feel confident that Walker will be triumphant
in his present struggle with Costa Rica and 9th
er neighboring governments, and that the
Americans will eventually succeed in planting
the institutions of their own country over the
whole of Central America

THEATRIcAL-The attendance at the Nevada
Theater during the past week has been highly
encouraging, we should judge to the proprie-
tors. very pleasing addition has been made
to the company, in the person of Miss Louise,
whose extreme youth and versatility of accom-
plishments has added much to the attractions.
On Monday evening last, the benefit of Mr..
Warwick was attended by one of the largest
audiences which has been present during the
season-the house being crowded throughout.
1t was gratifying testimonial to the gentle
man, that his popularity with our citizens re-
mains unimpaired. AT the close of the the first
piece, in response to q call from the audience,
Mr.. W. came before the curtain, and in neat
and Impressive manner, returned his acknowl-
edgements to the citizens of Nevada, for the
substantial marks Of kindness which he had re-
ceived upon this, as well as upon former occa-
sions. An episode in the way of q piece of dex-
trous fencing was introduced at the close of the
play by Mons Chauval and Schmidt of our city,
both accomplished swordsmen, having generous
y profered their services, came on the stage
and were cordially received. The exhibition of
an earnest passage at arms between the two
professors of the swo I'd exercise, in the pres
ence of numerous audience, was exciting in a
high degree. After quite prolonged contest
in which each had his foil broken, the curtain
descended amid the loud applause of the spec
tators' 1t was impossible for any but an adept
in the art to judge which displayed the greater
skill in the use of his weapon.
Mons. Chauval, it was announced by Mr..
Warwick, is now engaged in giving instruc-
tions in the sword exercise to class of pupils
at Boswell IL Hanson's Hall, lower end of Broad
street.
Mr. James Mcguire, between pieces, amused
the audience with genuine negro dance, which
was encOred and applauded to the echo. These,
with the singing and dancing of Miss Louise,
afforded combination of attractions, giving
Mr.. Warwick fine field for his address. The
whole was conducted by him in handsome

tan, Capt. Bendixen, says the F. Herald of
Tuesday, arrived yesterday, forty days from
Valparaiso. BY her we learn that great pre-
parations were making for the reception of the
President, who was expected to arrive Nov 18th.
In long article in H Mercuio, the editor calls
on the President of the Republic of Chile to call
a convention of the heads of all South American
governments, to oppose the grasping disposition
of the Americans who, the editor says. want
Panama, Nicaragua, etc. and unless some check
is put upon them, there is no telling where it
will end No other news of Importance.

Broad and Pine streets, is q handsome and com
