FARMING ON THE TCoLuMNE.-Along the banks

Joaquin, remarks the Stockton Argus, are some
of the finest farms in the State, and improve.

around those who are satisfied that California s
as good as any of the sister States Many of
the immigrants who have crossed the plains this
year, have stopped in Stanislaus county. and
are either buying out those who cannot grow
rich without labor, or renting improvements

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.


THE CASE OF BUTI.ER.-The Governor has
granted respite in the case Of Butler, convict
ed of murder and sentenced to be hung next
Friday, until the 26th Of February 1t seems
that powerful effort is to be made to procure
Buffers pardon. We have no desire that But
Ter should be hung, and if he could be set free
in Justice to the community. we should rejoice
in his unconditional pardon. A few months
ago petitions were got up against conmuta-
ton of the sentence of Frank Moore, who shot
a man while 10 the act of raising pistol to
shoot him. Butler, deliberately shot an unarm-
ed man, without the least provocation. In Sier-
ra county. where the facts were known strong
prejudice existed against him. So great was
this prejudice that a jury could not be procured
in that county, and the case was removed TO
Nevada. Here he was tried By an impartial
Jury, and no one could have heard the evidence
without being convinced that he was guilty OF
a heartless murder. 1t may seem somewhat
strange that the same parties who clamored so
loudly for the blood of Moore, should now be
cndeavoring to procure pardon for Butler
Such course, however, is in perfect keeping
with some peoples ideas of justice. tlaru,

st.s. elections I'm the East.

Our telsgrsphie report last week, gave very
indefinite iiea Of the result Of the elections in
several Of the Eastern States. New York has
gene Dsmseratic by decided majority, the can
dldases for State officers being all elected BY
from 10000 70 10000 majority. The Democrats
have also majority in the Assembly; but the
Republicans it is thought, will have small ma
iority In the Senate. The returns SO far as
received, indicate Democratic gain Of a few
thousand votes, IS compared with that Of last
year; while the Republicans have lost abOut
100, 900. New Jersey has also gone Democratic
by large majority.
The Know NOthings have again carried Ma
ryland. In Baltimore, the usual riots took
place, and in some OF the wards the naturalized
voters were driven from the polls. Two men
we're shot in the sesenteenth ward and were
supposed to be fatally wounded, and another
man was shst near the fourth ward pols.--
Georgia has gone Democratic by about 10000
with . large majority in both branches of the
Legislature. asa
In Kansas, PARROT, the Free-State candidate
for Delegate TO Congress, is elected over Ran
som, the pro-slavery candidate, by about 5000
majority. Gov. Walker and Secretary Stanton,
had thrown out the returns Of Oxford precinct
In johnson county, and also the returns Of Nc
Gee county thus giving the Free-State party a
majority In both branches of the Legislature.
For this act, Gov. Walker was severely de-
nounced by the ultra Pro-slavery party; but as
there was not the least doubt that the returns
were fraudulent he will be sustained by the
conservative men Of the country. In the Ok
ford precinct, over fifteen hundred fraudulent
votes were returned, and as the returns were
not made out acsording to law, they were
thrown cut Just previous to the election in
New York, repsrt Was circulated for political
purposes, that the President had determined on
removing Gov Walker This report was
promptly contrsdicted by the President; had it
not been, II is probable the Republicans would
have carried that State. 1t was reported. but
not on very good authority, that two members
Of the Cabinet were dissatisfied with Walkers
course
The election in Indiana was for members of
the Legislature. and to ill the vacancy in the
10th Congressional district. The meagre re-
turns received from this State are favorable to

RowDyIsM. following article we
copy from the Marlboro Gazette
neutral paper. 1t speaks boldly the
truth in regard to rowdyism in Baltimore:
Few persons in the county, who do
not carefully read the local columns of
the Baltimore papers, can form an idea
of the extent of the lawless conduct of
the rowdy portion Of the population of
that city. Week before last there must
have been six or eight regular riots.
some Of them ending in bloodshed and
murder; and last Mondays Clipper con-
tains the particulars of eleven distinct
cases of riot, murder, shooting, high
way robbery, &C., that occurred on Sat
urday and Sunday. Is there no remedy
for all this? or is the city Of Baltimore
to sink into infamy, with the arm Of its
municipal authority paralized? It has
always been our pride to point to the bu-
siness and commercial prosperity OF the
emporium Of our State, but really the
day seems to have passed when Mary
landers can stand up for city so utterly
degraded; with a population 50 lost TO
all honor or propriety, we consider il
dangerous TO visit the place, and as con-
ductors Of public press, we should feel
guilty of neglect Of duty were we to
longer delay to raise warning voice. -
Infamy and shame is indellibly marked
upon the monumental city
