Peoples Party.

Amongst other 'lsms OF the day, we are
to have, in the present campaign. Peoples
Party There is no: quite parties enoarh
in the field, to meet the purity standard Of
the inhabitants of San Francisco, and. there.
fore peoples party must be entered for the
race over the California Course in November
next.
This movement for Peoples Party"is
the illegitimate offspring of the Vigilance
COMMITTEES That body is fast beng crushed
out of existence by the overwhelming for,s
of a correct public opinion, and they fni It
hard TO surrender the power they have
usurped, or the fat Offices they have had in
prospect. without making an effort which
looks to the qualification Of their ambitious
desires. whether the Peoples Party will
extend beyond the limits Of san Francisco
we know not but such appears to he the
intention of those who arc urging its forma.
tion. The causes which gave rise to the
Vigilance Committee were strictly local in
Their character; but the ambition Of its
purse proud members co-extensive with the
boundaries of the Republic. "No pent up
Utica" controls their ambition. and the
lawless horde of San Francisco kindly tells
the people of the State what they Need
AMI the public voice demands" If IL
, had stated in their call. that those who we've
; engaged in getting up the Peoples Party
were broken down political hacks who de-
sired office, the public might have given
them credit for candor, if not for honesty.
We like to give e7en the Devil his due, and
in looking over the list of I'VE Needs" and
f "dem lnds'' put forth by The disappointed
political soreheads Of San Francisco who
have placed themselves at the head Of the
.People's Party we find one which meets
our cordial appreciation, ana tia. is one
setting forth that the public voice demands
! that ..the honor and dignity of the State be
maintained in her laws and in her con-
, duct" This is precisely what We have al
w,1vs contended for, and what We desire to
see fairly and impartially applied in every
instance. We should lie content to see tho
Virilance Committee, and all others wh0
violate the laws and constitution Of our
! State, receive nothing but "eyen and exact
Justice" from the laws of the State. If the
, Committee have violated the laws of the
, land let the law punish them. They are
a now ''Quaking with fear aud crying out
. for an Amnesty bill'' and A Peoples Par
ty." They fear the laws of their country,
aud can no longer bear to look upon the
, great national party which has guided the
Republic since its formation. whose platform
is the constitution, AMI whose MOTTO IS
Equal AMI exact justice to ali men,
Those who now demand the formation Of
Peoples Party" have despised and tram
pled upon our constiteton-by requesting
the people to assemble at Sacramento ant
declare anew their independence. They
: have violated the laws of the State, and nc
knowledge their guilt by requipng an am
nesty act, to shield them from the just pun
ishment of their offences-evcn while they
t inform the public that the honor and Dig

FILLMORE MEETING.--Some five or six
men who are q little undecided whether to
go for Fillmore or Fremont, have been en-
deeyoring to get together in council here in
0roville. They have sent a bell around the
streets with colored gentleman for several
evenings, and We believe the result was a
determin ation to have Fillmore flag. A
youth was employed to circulate a subscrip-
ton paper, and succeeded in raising the en-
ormous sum of eleven dollars. The contr act
for the construction of the flag has been let
to the bell ringer. and is to be composed of
fourteen bandanna handkercheifs, curiously
interviewer, and containing portraits of Fill
more and Donelson.

Court of Sessions.
Orovilie, July %, 1856.


This body were in session the last four
days during the past week, but managed
to despatch large amount of business. The
Grand Jury adjourned on Thursday eve
ming, after finding indictments against six
individuals for various offences. The Court
of Sessions have succeeded in Furnishing
few of the many culprits who have accumu
lated in our jails, and some of them were
fortunate enough to be found not guilty
Among the former was the person who tore
up the docket of Justice Jones' The man
who wished the Vigilance Committee to res
cue him from the authorities when he was
arrested, was found guilty of an assault with
intent to do bodily injury. Collins, the
man who had the disturbance in the Metro
politan last winter, was discharged. as was
also Frank Blue, who had been sent up on a
charge of burglary.
The District Court will commence its ses-
sion at Bidwell on Monday, the 25th inst
Fremont IN at is well known that
Fremont made an expedi lion to California
in 1858. One at least of the pioneers now
resident in Butte county, came with his
train from Oregon to California. Several
incidents occurred which go far to show the
character of AIR. Fremont The provisions
for his train were not of sufficiently fine
quality for Col Fremont. HIS provisions
were separate and distinct from those of his
train, and when the company's provisions
were getting short, the boys found their
way to the Coloners plethoric sugar sack,
and helped themselves. In due time, the
train arrived at Suffers Fort, and as Gen.
Sutter was an Alcalde, Col. Fremont went
before the General, entered complaint
against the members of his train who had
stolen his sugar. and had them arrested and
locked up in the fort. That is we call giving
ehe boys "Jessie" This magnanimous and
generous Colonel, is now the Black Republi |
can candidate for President. Those who
have been subjected to his petty tyranny,
will doubtless content themselves with CIV
ing the Colonel Jessie"

CouRr HoUsE-We received visit from
Gen. Moore, one Of the Supervisors of Butte
county, from whom we learn that it is the
intention of the Board to accept the new
Court House at this place in time to bring
the question of removal before the District
Court. which convenes at Bidwell on the
25th inst There is some fear that our
Courts may declare the law unconstitution-
al, in which event it would go up TO the Su-
preme Court, and be decided at the present
term. Should the Courts declare the law
unconstitutional, the County Records and
business cannot be removed TO Oroyille un-
til the next Legislature declare il the Coun
ty seat. We hope the question may be
brought before the present term of the
District Court, that it may be declared as
soon as practicable.

DOMESTIC BRoILs-Two of the gentler
sex who had long since plighted their faith
and been joined in the holy bonds of matri-
mony, were last night subjected to the hu-
initiating, ungallant, and inhuman act of
public castigation. Cor it might as well have
been public, as to have been in a public
house.) We are told they are both respect
able women the attending circumstances,
however, were quite different. There is
nothing paliating, or that could go to shield
the tyrants from condemnation or the very
natural ccnsure of a peace loving and moral
community One of the fair ones talked
and struck back What a pity she had not
been possessed of Amazonian proportions,
and muscles that she might have mauled her
unnatural brute husband as he deserved
How beautiful to see wife writhing and
wincing under the rod of correction in the
hands of the curse who has solemnly sworn
to protect and love her. He is not fit to be
kicked out of Tophet by blind cripples The
other, we are told, was lady in feeble
health--an invalid, who submitted to her
punishment with the meekness of a lamb
she did not move her tongue or raise her
hand, but took her regular dose of connubi
al affection at the end of boot, or some
thing equally mild, wherewith to manifest
striking illustrations of & Love Divine. =
We forbear comment, as these cases may be
looked into by men in authority.

Mining Items.

The mines from Crozer's Hill to Carpen-
ter's Flat, are doing better than they have
ever done at sny time since TIE diggings
were first opened.
Sylvis s. Co., took out last week with eight
men, 100000 This is ore of the very best
claims on the Hill, and is worked to great
advantage.
George E. Green Co have nearly COM
pleted their underground cut from their
Shaft to the Bluff, and will wash with their
sluices under ground This dirt prospects
from six to twelve cents to the pan, equal to
$50 per day, to the hand.
Clark McGowan & Co, took out last week
500, 90, with six hands.
The Golden Gate Company have washed
out in the last two weeks, Sl,254,00.
Silver Wave Company, on Live Oak Flat,
take out on an average. $4,000 per week,
with nine hands. The dirt in this claim
pays very regularly.
Sullivan s Brothers, tave a very yellow
claim, twenty cents to the pan. 1t is soregu-
lar, that they can calculate almost to cent
the amount of gold contained in every
square foot of dirt This claim has cleared
for the owners, above all expenses $4,000
since they opened it, some three months ago
The mines in this vicinity, have as ye
teen but partially prospected. We have NJ
doubt that some big strikes will be made a
soon as the different claims are faily opened
