The ARcrIc--SIR JOHN FRANKLIN The follow
ing interesting intelligence is from the st. Paul
(Minnesota) Times, of Dec 18th:
Considerable excitement was created among
many of our citizens on Monday evening and yes
terday morning, by the arrival at the American
House of an Englishman by the name of James B.
Stuart, and some four or five half-breeds direct
from the Arctic Ocean. Mr.. Stuart left on the ex-
pedition in February, and has been absent up to
the present time. We could not CLEAN much from
him. as his tongue seemed to be under lock and
key but we gathered the following from one of his
guides:
Mr. Stuart, three Indians, and fourteen Red Riv-
er men of the North, left Selkirk early in the
spring. with three canoes Passed through run
ming stream into lake, thence into White Fish
River Was one month on this river, sleeping on
shore Entered the sea, upon which they were
compelled to remain nine days Reached what is
called Montreal Island where they fell in with
some Esquimaux who informed them where the
crew of the Terror Zone of Franklin's ships) met
their untimely fate. Gathered up the remains of
boat having the name of Sir John Franklin on
it, hammer, kettles, parts of blue flag and 9TH
er articles belonging to the unfortunate vessel.
We are informed by the Esquimaux that they
reached the spot just in time to see the last man
die of hunger, who was leaning against some OBJ
ject when discovered. He was too far gone to be
traces of the bones of the famished men could
be seen-supposed to have been eaten by the
wolves. The Esqumaux state that it is four years
since the crew perished. The party left the sea
on the 9th of August, at which time the ice was
accumulating very fast. Among the party was a
halfbreed a celebrated runner, who ran the race
with Jackson, the American Deer and other run
ners.
Tt is reported that Immediately after the recep-
ton in England of certain plates said to have be-
longed to Sir John Franklin, and which were con-
veyed to the States by way of Superior, the Gov
ernor of Canada sent a messenger to Sekirk set
tlement and hired Mr.. Stuart to undertake the
expedition. The party started from Selkirk, car
rying their canoes part of the way, and sailing the
other part. They coasted along shore until they
fell in with an Esquimaux, who conducted them to
Montreal Island, where traces of the unfortunate
navigators were discovered. The story is plausi-
BILE, but it is not sufficiently authenticated to re-
move all doubts as to its correctness.
1t was on the coast opposite Montreal Island
Their bones lie buried in the sand within an ex-
tent of twelve miles. This is the fifth winter since
they perished, and the drifting sands of that bar
region, being in lat. 6S North, have piled in
successive layers on the bones of these noble and
ill-fated men.
Mr.. Stuart describes the region as dreary in the
extreme-not blade of grass stick of timber
met the eye. No game of any kind could be
found.

NICE YOUNG MAN. According to the State Ira-
bune the "assembled wisdom" furnishes some ex-
ceedngly nice young men. A few days ago a
member who may be seen any day about the Or
leans paid visit to Chinadom, being anxious to
ascertain the manners and customs of so singular
people; during his visit dispute arose about the
value of q certain piece of coin, and to settle the
matter, the Legislator took the law into his own
hands and drew pistol upon Celestial nymph,
who screamed and alarmed the neighborhood. An
officer appeared and the member vamosed and
crarled under the house, where the policemen and
some boys "corralled" him for an hour, and then
let him go, covered with mud, and mortified be-
yond expression.

THEArRIcAL The Potter Company performed
here on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday eve
nings, of this week Estelle Potter sustains we'll
the enviable reputation she has acquired, as an
actress of the first school and an accomplished
lady. Mr.. Warwick has always been favorite
with us, and we liked him better than ever He
seems to improve even on himself. Miss Deming
and Mr. Woodward are up in their parts, and do
credit to every thing they undertake, Then that
broth of boy, Dumphries, always would be liked
he's Sich funny boy" White puts in entire
ly too much blood and thunder, and teeth, in his
heary parts. 1t is shocking, to people who take
their nerves to the theater to hear his tooth grind

literally patron;zed, alike on fair and stormy nights
for although Coloma people are not much addicted
to complimentary benefits and the like they are
always prepared to testify their appreciation of a
good performance by liberal attendance.

The San Francisco Herald says that prominent
member of the Knownothing order, and now
candidate for senatorial honors is reported to have
said lately that the principle, the office should
seek the man. is very good one, but he can see
no particular harm in the man showing himself to
the Office occasionally, just to how it likes him.
From the present position of affairs, it would
seem that the Office, after taking look at all the
candidates, has intoerable dislike toward all the
aspirants.

A SWEET LAWSUIT. Last winter the Legislature

tates. The Leidesdorf estate was the special OBJ
ject Of attention. In this an agreed case was
made, and argued in the Supreme Court and de-
cided, as q matter of course, adversely to the
State In this famous lawsuit two Attorney Gen.
erals an Ex-Governor, Judge, Attorney & Coun-
selor, and Doctor were employed.
Stewart Assistant Attorney General, and son-in-law
of Gov. Foote, received, for wear and tear of his
brains, ...... ............. SIu,OOO

Now why a blacksmith, shoe maker and a
tailor were not employed in this lawsuit, remains
to be explained. One thing is very certain, the le
gal gentlemen have been exceedingly well paid for
ascertaining the opinion of the Supreme Court in
the matter of the Leidesdorf estate. Intiatory
steps have been taken in the Senate to ascertain
something in detail about this lawsuit. The forth
coming report of the ex-Attorneys General may
throw light on the subject. We may be informed
whether the legal edvisers employed physician to

or to physic the Supreme Court The public will
