ADJOURNMENT. The democratic stagers in the
Legislature exhibited their wonted zeal on Monday
last, for an adjournment, but the Know Nothings
held them to their duty and transacted business on
Tuesday. Democratic anxiety for adjournments
was fully manifested last year. feast day of the
church was embraced as a suitable occasion to ad-
.journ in order to attend a horse race In harmony
with former proceedings the democracy desired to
adjourn on account of the battle of New Orleans
fought forty years ago They will no doubt desire
to celebrate all the battles of the Revolution by an
adjournment of one or two days, and more than
likely, being an astonishngly pious class of men,
will desire to celebrate the birth and death of Mar
tin Luther, John Calvin, and all the saints in the
Roman calendar If something of this kind could
be done, nice time would be afforded to attend
races and to ride on steamboats,. We are glad to
see that the American party has already condemn
ed this habit of adjourning. Not q single day ex-
cept the Sabbath should be permitted to pass with
out regular meeting and the transaction of bus-
ness. The American party did not elect their
representatives to attend horse races; it is there
fore gratifying to see that they already manifest
disposition to attend to business.

in honor of the Inauguration of the Governor, for
which great preparation had been made, came off
according to programme, except that some body
omitted to invite the San Francisco military at the
proper time, whercupon the San Francisco and
Sacramento knights Of the sword joined teams and
had ball on their own hook at the Orleans---thus
detracting very much from the Inauguration Ball.
The Sacramento papers do not brag much about
the legislative ball, whence it is safe to conclude
that it was very small affair, and meagerly at
tended. The ladies present were each and every
one excessively beautiful

The weather since Tuesday last has been warm
er than the week preceding, and considerable rain
has fallen. The hope is entertained that the snow
will melt sufficiently to allow flow of water in the
canals at Georgetown and in the South Fork Canal
The cold weather has prevented these canals from,
furnishing anything like an adequate supply OF
water. The canals in this town are running full
being fed from the river, and not injured by frost
Here the supply of water is constant, but elsewhere
the mining interest has been seriously interrupted
by continued frosts

THE WAR IN KANSAS The st. Louis Intelligcnter
states the following significant facts as an assur-
ance that there will be speedy settlement of the
war in Kansas. Let us note them:
First: The extreme excitement is in Missouri
not in Kansas---the truth being, as we have said.
that it is new position in Kansas for the terrific
rial Sheriffs to be repudiated.
Second: The Free-State men are willing to be
governed by the United States officers, and to sub
NIT to them
Third The militia of Kansas did not respond
when Gov. Shannon called them! This is a remark
able fact The question is, Why? Did they SYM
pathize with the Free-State men! If so, then all
Kansas is against those erritorcl laws---concusye
proof that the people of Kansas did not make and
do not approve them.
Fourth: The Mssourians that were precipitated
thoughtlessly into volunteering to march into Kan
sas, only hold themselves in readiness to moye.'
After they think little, they will conclude it is
their duty to move home.
Fifth: Gov. Shannon has only 1850 to 300 mem
to back him, drawn from all sources He is wisely
waiting for "a greater force before marching
against 'ntrenchments,' and eleven hundred
Sharpes Rifles and five pieces of artillery all d-
rected by somewhat reputable and sklful militia
ry leader, at the head of Il 900 men,. Gov. Shan
not don't mean to get hurt if he help it, that is
obvious.
Sinth: But most grateful and gracious fact
most cheering and pleasing of ALA meeting is
being held to terminate the MATTER peaceably if
possible Of course it is possible.
Seventh: Unless the United States troops are
Furnished the laws can not be executed. This es-
Inmates that on sober, second thought, the Missou-
rians desire to be counted out of the fight to sub
jugate' the people of Kansas
Eighth: Nothing will be done till the United
States Government defines its position Pierce will
have regard for peace, We dare say, and so will
end the Kansas civil war!
The various exciting telegraphic dispatches now
afioat are calculated to confuse the pablo mind
and we have thus taken the trouble to unrave the
Kansas imbroglio We think we have done it, and
that now the country can safely go about its busi-
ness undsturbed by visions Of torch and torture in
Kansas. We are cool and quiet in Missouri AS
the winter draws on, it will be very cool in Kan
SaS.

The Bulletin Of Tuesday last, speaking of the
attempt of Cohen to abscond on the Uncle Sam,
has the following paragraph. What does it mean!
"And now another little matter has come up that
we would like to have explained. A Mr.. J. c..
Swain, who may be seen very often at Palmer,
Cook & Co.'S, had chartered the clipper schooner
Forward, of about 140 tons, to convey ''two pas
sengers' to port in Mexico. The price agreed on
was Sl7O0. The same day that Cohen was ar
rested aboard the Uncle Sam, and abont an hour
after the arrest Mr.. Swain called on the captain,
and informing him that the schooner would not be
wanted inquired on what terms he could compro-
mise The captain, entirely ignorant of who his
passengers were to be, agreed on $500, which was
paid and the matter settled.

The State Journal says the democratic Senators,
in caucus, on Monday, unanimously adopted the
following resolution:
Resolved, That we as democratic Senators,
pledge ourselves to use our influence against the
employment of extra and unnecessary clerks
This is right. Not single committee clerk is
needed, unless the committee is too lazy to work
itself. The public will rest assured that whenever
a committee clerk is employed, that committee is
composed of lazy men, every one of whom should
forthwith resign, be they Democrats or Knownoth-
ings.
The Empire County argus., 1856-01-12

In one of the above cases, that of Mcconnell et
al, the action brought in behalf of the people
against the parties for cutting the dam of IL Canal
company, the Canal and the offending parties both
claiming the water. The action involved nothing
more than the civil rights of the parties in reality
yet to settle this dispute, trespass the coun-
ty has paid jury fees of S513 and witness fees of
Sl54 so, beside large amounts to the sheriff and
other officers
Grand Juries should be careful how they find
true bills against mere trespassers, when nothing is
involved but the rights Of the parties. In such
cases let parties ltigate their own quarres them
selves, without involving the county in expensive
lawsuits in the form of criminal actions. In this
very case, when the defendants were found guilty,
the court Judge Johnson presiding, only fined de-
PENDANTS each dollar, showing plainly that the
court considered the whole proceeding, so far as
criminality was concerned, mere farce, and only
tending to settle the civil rights of the parties,
which should heve been litigated without the inter-
vention of the people.
The Empire County argus., 1856-01-12

The State Journal says it went all around on n
visit to the principal saloons few days ago-to wet
its whistle, we suppose. Strange sights were seen,
men were drunk as some always are in Sacramento;
even Know Nothings were drunk buttonhoeing.
too, was going on, no doubt of it. The Democracy
for some time past have been trying to invent some
mode OF stealing, hitherto undiscovered They were
evidently engaged whispering poison into the ears
of innocent men, and thereat the Journal sneers
and charges Know Nothings with falling into De.
mecratic habits.
The Empire County argus., 1856-01-12

CUTTING. Almost daily we hear of some drunk
en- brawl in the progress of which knives are freely
used, inficting dangerous wounds and too frequent
ly resulting in death. Not long since brace of
knife practitioners were sent off to the State prison
and we hear that others have found their way into
the Jail of this county fchargedIwith cutting and
sashing with knives. All such persons, if convict
ed, should be punished to the extreme of the law
Not one particle of lenity should be extended to-
ward them. Severe and certain punishment will
soon check the cowardly habit of wearing conceal
ed weapons.
The Empire County argus., 1856-01-12

A. A. Cohen, one of the assgnees of Adams &
Co., was found slowed away in the grease, among
the machinery of the Uncle Sam, the other day
Mr.. Cohen was trying to slip from the custody of
the Sherif--was anxious to visit the fAtlantic
States but he, the honest soul had no intention
of running away only crawled in among the
Sans machinery to take nap. The courts for
some time past have been trying to press little
truth out of this thmble-rigging Hebrew; have
been trying to make him and his co-partner Jones'
hand over the funds of Adams & Co. which they
hold as assignees. The depositors, who are legion
in this country, waiting anxiousy for the final
result. We hope James King of VIM. will keep
San Francisco grid-iron until all the sneaking
scoundrels are compelled to disgorge or run away
and stay away forever.
The State Journal has word of regret about
Cohens conduct
