The Jury again failed to agree on the second
trial of this man, and his case was continued
until next term 1t must be only the fear of
Judge Lynch, that prevents the evil-disposed
from committing murder more frequently.
With Butte County Jury there seems TO be
no such thing as murder. Not long since, a
man near Wyandotte, had some diffitulty with
a negro. and FIVE or six hours afterwards, in
the dead hour of night, he went to the negro's
cabin, run his gun through crevice, and de-
liberately shot the negro so dead he never
wiggled He was convicted of manslaughter,
and sent to prison for two years. Another
man ran knife between the shoulder blades
of another person, and afterwards stated that
he meant to kill him, and regretted that he
had not, Jury couldn't agree, and the pris-
oner was discharged. Now in all these cases
the Jury undoubtedly acted honestly and con-
scientiously. in accordance with their obliga-
tions but we would suggest to Jurors that
they pay strict attention to the evidence and
the law as laid down by the court, and our
word Tor IL, they Will arrive at correct con =
clusion. Counsel, in such cases, are no part
of the court-they are hired for the special
purpose Of specious reasoning, and they care
not whether their client is guilty, if he pays
well their business is to clear him. Courtesy
demands that a jury should hear him, and
admire his ingenuity. Duty demands that a
Jury should disregard, the arguments of
counsel when not sustained by law and evil
dence. They should laugh at such reasoning
of counsel, or counsellors will continue to
chuckle over their power to bamfooze Jurors.
On the next trial, We hope to see Reisberg,
convicted of something, as we really believe
he ought to be, if it is nothing more than
bigamy

Souud Advice.

That is a good custom amongst the Germans
which induces every father, be he noble or
peasant, to educate his son in some useful pro-
fession. This ought to be part of every sys-
TEN of education and would have a more pow
erful influence in eevatiug the tone of public
morals than all else put together The Ad-
dress of Governor Wright of Indiana, at the
New York State Fair, was an. able and elo
quent document, though differing very little
from many similar addresses heretofore de-
livered. The Governor, after touching upon
our agricultural resources, modes and prod
ucts, gave glance at our people, and said:
ave must cultivate the roots-not the tops. We must
make The family government, the school, The farm, the
church, the agricultural fairs, the aboraties of a
ture greatness We must educate sons to be farm
er, artisans, architects engineers geooSsts, botansts
chemists-in a word, practical men. Their eyes must
be turned from Washington to their States, counties,
districts, homes This is true patriotism that will per
petually preserve the nation"

Waslsingt0n News.

1t is stated in the most positive manner that
despatch has been received from Mr.. Bu
channan, relative to the alielged violation Of
our neutrality laws by British agents in en-
listing men for the Crimea the tenor of which
is that the British government decline giving
such explanations as have been demandsd d by
our government. The con fession Of Iurtz,
who was t. led at Philadelphia for violation
of the neutralitry laws as above stated, i'm
plicates the British Minister in manner, if
true, to warrant his dismissal by our Govern
ment.
1t is also stated that the governments of
San Salvador, Honduras and Costa Rica, have
strongly protested against the action of Min
lister Wheeler in acknowledging the authority
of the Walker administration in Nicaragua.
These delicate and intricate questions are now
occupying the attention of the Government at
Washington. The arrival of the next steamer
will be looked for with interest

From the CriInea.

The news is not of much Importance. There
had been no fresh military operations N the
Crimea, the belligerents being busly occupied
in preparing their winter quarters. 1t was
intended to lombard the northern forts of
Sebastopol, in order to enable the feet to win
ter in the harbor. An attack was made by
the Allies on Marianopol, on the north coast
of the sea of Azoff, on the 8 st of October,
and after short bombardment, instructions
were given to cease the firing. out of respect
for the Austrian Flag, which had been hoisted
over the warehouses of the German residents
There were some apprehensions of an attack
by Gen. Wrangel on the allied forces at Yeni-
kale; but they were prepared to give him a
warm reception, having about thirty thou
sand men there.
Another secret expedition sailed from Eu-
patoria on the l4th, and proceeded in a west
erly direction
In Asia, the Turkish Army under Omer
Pacha, was, at last accounts, daily expecting
an attack from the Russians.

The tomfoolery which is designated by the
above appropriate appellation, sprung from
compromise, huddled up between the eager
zeal of model reformers and the selfshness of
greedy, ambitious and time-serving politi-
clans.
1t is a system which places the quiet and
better disposed citizen under the eontamina-
ting influence of political mountebanks, hun
CRY for gain or drunk with fanaticism.
Like other humbugs it proposes to teach
men political truth and science, in ways which
cause them to cling more firmly to falsehood
and bgotry.
1t disclaims all intention of making religion
a test question, but its mode of persuasion Is
like the following: ''If you obstinatcly ad-
here to the Catholic faith Of your fathers, you
shall not be burned in Smithield-you shall
not be sent to Jail you shall not even pay
double land tax. But you shall be shut out
from all situations in which you might exer-
else your talents with honor to yourself and
advantage to the country. The legislature,
the bench of magistracy are not for such as
you You shall see other men, your interiors
in station and talents, rise to the highest dig
mites and attract the gaze of nations, while
you are doomed to neglect and obscuriy. Ii
you have Il son of the highest promise-a son
such as other fathers would contemplate with
delight-the development of his fine talent
and of his generous ambition shall be a tor
ture to you. You shall look ON him as a be-
ing doomed to lead, as you have led the alb
ject life of Roman, in the midst of the great
American people. All those high honors so
much more precious than the most costly gifts
of despots, with which a free country deco
rates its illustrious citizens, shall be to him,
as they have been to you, objects, not of hope
and virtuous emulation. but of hopeless, envi-
GUS pinng Educate him, if you wish him to
feel his degredation. lucate him, if you
wish to stimulate his craving for what he new
er must enjoy. Educate him, if you would
initiate the barbarity Of that petty Celtic ty-
rant who fed his prisoners on salted food till
they called eagerly for drink and then let down
an empty cup into the dungeon, and left them
to die of thirst" Such is Nothingism.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 2, 1856,
Respectfully, yours.

Friend C.--I have only time to-day to drop
you line. but will endeavor to give you the
news more at length next week. The chosen
wisdom of the State is beginning to congre-
gate, and many who have not been chosen,
are focking in with the hope of being permit
ted to share in the spoils. Log-rolling rather
on the slye, is carried en- extensively. The
rumor is current that Marshall has withdrawn
from the Senatorial contest in favor of Gov
Foote. The Wing K. Ms dare not force the
election of wing. for fear of blowing their
party into fragments, and as Foote is opposed
to the Administration lie is taken uL as the
man most likely to carry out their views, and
to keep the party in California together. He
is to be the man.
The weather is pleasant--the air mild and
balmy-affording a striking contrast to the
excitement Of politicians, which is about ris-
ing to fever heat. The cool nights are a luxu.
ry, but no antidote for political excitement.

Meeting of CONGRESS.

Congress met on the Sd December, but up to
the sailing of the steamer the House had net
effected an organization. The Difficulty was
in electing a speaker. There were number
of candidates before the House. III democ-
racy threw their votes in a solid body for
their caucus nominee, Mr.. Richardson of Hi
nois, who got "A votes, III being necessary to
a choice. The other parties are split up into
half a dozen different factions. Lewis D.
Campbell, the Republican candidate. got as
high as ffty-seven votes; n P. Banks o.
Mas iachusetts, got 81; il. Marshall, of Ken
lucky, K n got 80 votes, and II. NJ. Fuller,
of Pennsylvania got IS. The balloting con-
tinued on the 9th, with parties divided IN
about the same manner Some of the des-
patches to the New Fork Press, think that a
fusion will be effected which would elect
Banks of Massachusetts,. Others think that
there will be no election for two or three
weeks The Presidents message is withheld,
until the House has organ; zed.
There have been several warm contests for
the organization of the House heretofore The
most memorable was in 1899, when the 26th
Congress met at Washington. The house was
evenly divided between the administration and
the opposition. A long and acrimonious de-
bate sprung up, and on the third day, John
Quincy Adams was elect Speaker pro tenn.
All sorts of resolutions and counter resolu-
tions were introduced, for five days, when Il.
NJ. I. Hunter was chosen Speaker by Il major
ity of two.
The next contest for Speaker was even more
protracted The 3lst Congress assembled at
Washington on the 3rd of December, 1S49
There was small maj jJriiy against the de-
mocracy, but of such incongruous materials,
that like the present opposition, they refused
to be fused. The contest continued until the
22ud, when the House adopted the plurality
system, AMI Howell Cobb. of Georgia. was
elected Spe .ker. The democracy may yet
possibly elect their Speaker.
