THAT County Lot IN SAN FRANCISCO.
Our readers remember the decision Of the
Supreme Court last Monday, in the case of
nL-i-- 49, n----+y - 49,, r->..aias
In that decision it was held that the pur-
chase Of lot by the Court of Sessions, for
county purposes, was illegal, and conse-
quentIy that the county was not bound for
the purchase money, amounting to several
hundred thousand dollars. The lot, there
fore, falls back upon the hands of the hold
ers of the Scrip. 1t seems now, however.
that the Monumental Engine House has been
built upon portion Of this lot, and that it,
Of course, falls to the holders of the fee sim
pie. The building of the house cost the city
$1,000, to which the company have added
several thousand more.--Sac. Union.

ANECDoTE OF THE LITTLE GIANT. A
BEAUTIFUL INCIDENT The Chicago Times
describes a meeting of the Democracy of
Morris, Illinois, which was being addressed
by Hon. Stephen A. Douglass, in a thrilling
manner:
heavy shower of rain came on-not
man, woman or child moved-still it rained,
and there they stood as if immovable Mr.
Douglass paused, and with burst of feeling
which sent thrill to every heart, exclaim-
ed 'When | see my own fellow citizens,
and the women and children. willing and
continuing to sit through a drenchng tor
rent Of water from the heavens, to hear me
tell them of the danger of our glorious IN
ion, | feel new courage to go forth to battle
for our common safety" Even as he spoke,
the cloud passed away and bright ray Of
sunshine fell upon the speaker He paused
again, and raising his hand towards the sun,
exclaimed g See. my friends, the cloud has
passed away, and Heaven smiles once more
upon US and our cause Oh the shouts
that rent the air-the effect was electrical
1t was indeed a happy omen, and the
clouds that have obscured the glorious sun
of our Union, for time, have been swept
away.

Topics of the Day.

the Legislature failed to elect an Uni
ted States Senator, we desired to see
the Legislature unite upon any good
national Democrat and elect him;
and although Senator Gwin was not
our choice, we should have been sat
isfed had the Legislature chosen to
re-elect him. AS they could not
elect him we consired it their duty to
unite upon some other man. This
they declined doing, and there was
no election. Papers which then
supported him in preference to all
others, and were willing to give the
election to the Know -Nothings if he
could not succeed, now express their
willingness to see the Legislature 60
into caucus, nominate and elect two
Senators, 'uninAuenced by the press
and that the election of any two
sound national Democrats would be
satisfactory. We arc gratifed to
observe this disposition Of unity on
the part of the Democratic press, and
see many future Democratic triumphs
foreshadowed in this feeling. This
is good democratic policy, and had it
prevailed at the session of '55, it is
possible that the party might not
have been beaten at the following
State election.
While We are strong in the belief
that is the duty of the party to elect
the Senators uninAucnced by the op-
position press, we do not think they
should wholly disregard the prefer
ences of the press which assisted to
place the party in power: For while
the party press are willing to acqui-
osce in any reasonable choice the
Legislature may make, there is not
one of them but has its preference,
and it is proper and democratic that
it should make that preference
known. 1t is not necessary that an
editor should advocate his preference
in such a manner as to make political
enemies of those Of his party who
prefer different men. The difference
should be only such as an election
would satisfactorily settle. We well
remember the pleasure we felt when
such men as Gwin, Latham, Henly,
Van Voorhies, and others, came up
to the help of the Lord against the
ki-Yies and Black Republicans, and
we hardly think those gentlemen are
willing to condemn such Of the de-
mocracy as do not prefer to see them
elected u. S. Senators. The prin-
clples for which the party contended,
have triumphed, and all who assisted
in their triumph cannot of course be
elected to the Senate. It's, however,
the duty of the Legislature to elect
two United States Senators, and
we prefer to see Messrs. Broderick
and McCorkle elected. That is
sour position to dct."
