ARRIVAL OF THE CORTES.

Since the above was in type, the Nicara.
qua Steamship Cortes, has arrived at San
Francisco, with four days later news from
the Atlantic. The Cortes brings 3I7 pas-
sengers, all well, the Cholera having entire.
ly disappeared on the Isthmus.
Considerable excitement prevailed in n
York, on the departure of the Northern
Light, the steamer connecting with the Cor
tes, on the Atlantic side, from the fact that
300 Fillitd dsters had taken passage on her
for Nicaragua. The Steamer left New York.
but was pursued by the Government officers,
taken back, and the Fillibusters detained.
The latest despatch from Washington
Dec Gath, states that the House was vet
unorganized
Lieut.. Jones, who arrived at San Fran
cisco, direct from Nicaragua, states that
Walker has now about 500 soldiers in his
command, under pay of $25 per MONTH ra-
tions, clothing, and 200 acres of land.

"SrRAYED OR SroLEN'-At last accounts
from Orleans Bar, Klamath County, the
seat of justice, ordered by the county Judge,
in pursuance of vote of the people, ''to be
and appear" at that place on and after Dec.
4th, 1855, had not arrived from Crescent
City. We are informed by gentleman,
Just down from the klamath, that it is ru-
mored that it fell in the Lagoon, on the
coast above Trinidad; Others think it has
gone to sea or perhaps been lost on its way
''over the mountains" We will attempt to
account for the non-arrival of the County
seat Perhaps some who are interested in
having it remain at Crescent City, feel dis
posed to sake advantage of the decision of
the Supreme Court, to the effect, that such
elections held in pursuance of an order OF the
County Judge, are of no validity. 1t may
be news for some of the people OF that coun-
ty to learn, that unless Orleans Bar is the
county seat, they are without one. Last
winter an act was passed, amending the act
dividing the State into counties and at the
tail Of the section relating to klamath coun-
ty, it was provided tnat ''the seat of justice
shall be at such place as may be chosen by
the qualified electors Of the county" See
laws 1885, page 200 Since the passage of
the act just cited, no other place than Or
leans Bar, has been chosen in manner and
form" as therein mentioned. What say our
Crescent City friends?-Humboldt Times.

SINGULAR CAsUALTY.-Y yesterday about

up with quite loud report, each portion of

There was no one in the room at the mo-
ment of the occurrence but Mr.. Dan Ben

who fortunately escaped uninjured Parts
of bursted powderhask were discovered in

known. 1t is supposed to have been the

THE LEGISLATURE.

The Legislature is fully organized and al
though but few acts of general character
have been introduced into either branch, we
believe more has been done in the short
time it has been in session to settle the prin-
ciples of reform than has been done hereto
fore by any of its predecessors Committe
clerks, to great extent, have been dis
pensed with; granting leave of absence from
the State to officers, has received a final
quietus by the Senate, in the case of S. w.
Brooks, County Treasurer of San Joaquin.
A concurrent resolution passed the House,
granting this gentleman leave Of absence,
and upon its being sent to the Senate it was
Immediately indefinitely postponed by that
body These acts speak well for the repre-
sentatives of the people, and is commencing
at the right place to accomplish the great
object OF reform, so much needed in our
young State. ''
The friends of Mr. Upton will be pleased
to learn that his merits have been appreciated
by the Speaker of the House in placing him
at the head Of the Committee of Ways and
Means, responsible position and one that
he is peculiarly calculated to fill.
The Senatorial question still hangs on the
hinges, and nothing ofvery great Importance
can be accomplished until this question is
disposed Oft should be settled at once and
let the people (i e. the Office seeker, have
little quiet A three years excitement il
sufficient to destroy the energies ofany man
But the strangest thing in connection witt
this question is to see it urged that each
branch of the Legislature must act separate
ly in the election of u S Senator upor
constitutional grounds. This might have
been question sixty-fve years ago wher
the Constitution was first receiving a con
struction from the different Legislatures anC
the Senate of the United States. But W,
think this question is set at rest by the con
temporaneous legislative exposition and Sen
atorial acquescence from tho adoption Of the
Federal Constitution to the present time
and that argument cannot add to nor tax,
from these precedents

KLAMATH REsERvATIoN-By reference to
our Washington news it will be seen that
strip of land on the Klamath river, one mile
on each side, and extending from its mouth
about twenty miles up stream, containing
twenty-five thousand acres, has been reserved
by order of the President as military Re
servation for the Indians. Ifany portion OF
California is to be reserved for the Indians
We certainly approve of the one selected, in
our neighboring county The tract selected
will not be required by white people for
years if ever and the great river traversng
it will supply the natives with the greater
portion OF their food. The difficulty, we
imagine, will arise when the agent attempts
to collect the surrounding tribes within the
limits of this Reservation. They are much
attached to their old homes and manner Of
living, and have not the cleareSt conceptions
of the obligations of treaties and promises

SCIENTIFIC EXPLORATION OF CALF IFoRNIA.-
The Atlas states that Mr.. L. Samuels an
enthusiastic naturalist of this city, left New
York in the California steamer of the 9th
inst, Oh a pilgrimage of scientific research.
He proposes TO make thorough exploration
of Northern California, i'll all the depart
ments of Natural History, and with that OBJ
iect will remain in that region one or two
years, devoting all hfs time to making col
lections in its animal, vegetable and mineral
kingdom. His collections will be for the
joint enrichment of the museums Of the
Smithsonian Institution, in Washington, and
of the Boston Society of Natural History,
of which last institution Mr. Samuels has
been, for some years, the taxdermist. With
praiseworthy iberality the Panama Steam
ship Company, on learning the purpose of
Mr.. Samuels, offered him every facility their
line could afford, including free passage for
himself and all his necessary implements of
collection, and letters to their agents 10 rem
der him all the aid in their power. The EN-
- terprising house of Wells, Fargo d Co.,
nave also volunteered no unimportant aid,
and their agents in all parts of California
will also receive letters upon his arrival, to
contribute all the assistance in their power

PRoPosITIoN TO CONVERT THE Ono RIVER
INTO A SLAoKwATER CANAL AT a late meet
ing of the Pittsburg Board Of Trade, gen
tleman submitted proposition on the sub
ject Of improving the Ohio river by convert
ing it into slack-water canal. The sug-
gestions were unanimously approved by the
Board, and were earnestly recommended to
public consideration The distance from
Plttsburg to the mouth of the Ohio is 977
miles, with an aggregate fall of 825 feet
IL is assumed that to convert the entire river
into slack water would require only fifty
locks, Of an average lift of 81 feet, which
would create pools of an aggregate length
oI l32 miles The estimated cost of the
work Is from seven to ten millions of dollars
Tor the whole work, which is supposed to be
ABOUT half the expense of an ordinary canal,
or about one-third the average cost Of rail
