A BIT OF CALIFORNIA RosiANCE.-Ten years
ago, a young Englishman ran away from Lon
don, where he was highly connected, came down
TO Liverpool, took ship that was up for New
Orleans, and between one and two hundred
pounds in Bank of England notes in his pocket.
He had been maurGis SUjet at bone, and what
between wine and women, bad managed to squan-
der large fortune, besides involving himself Sc
riousy in debt. He had taken the precaution to
provide himself with letters OF introduction to
respectable parties in this city; and by this
means he soon formed the acquaintance ofa young
lady, who. 10y the death OF her father, had just
been left heires. to large estate. A warm at
tachneDt soon sprung up between the two, and
our young EDglshman, one fine day, made the
young lady a formal tender Of his hand and
heart. The answer he received was the follow
ing | love you, and will marry you, but only
on these conditions, and these only 1st, you
must stop drnkng I'd, you must pay your
debts; Sd, you have squandered one fortune, and
you must set to work and make another The
lover entreated, bat the lady was inexorable.
Just then tho gold fever broke out and our
hero determined without loss of time to try his
fortune on the shores OF the Pacific ocean. He
sat down, wrote o letter to the lady in which he
announced his determination, assured her Of his
unalterable affection and begged her to be faith
ful to him and, without further adeu. started
for New York, and took ship for San Francisco
via the Cape. ln California be led for some time
wandering, dissolute life, and hnally joined the
expedition which Raousset de Buulbon fitted out
for the conquest of Sonora. 1t was known that
be was among the few who escaped to tell the fate
Of their heroic leader, but nothing further was
heard of him or his whereabouts until last Satur-
day. when friend of his in this city received a
telegraphic dispatch from him, stating that he
was among the fifty persons saved from the Cen
tral America and brought into Norfolk by the
bark Ellen The dispatch further stated that the
writer had lost sl5O,OO0 in gold which was in
the hands of the purser, but was luckily insured
for its full value in London Office. We lcarr
that the lady to whom he was engaged is still un
married and it would not be strange if, in thu
course of human events, we should be called upor

In this case there are two questions raised
The first is are the sureties bound | think they
are not, for the following reasons. which | shall
briefly state. The bond is conditioned for the
proper performance of the duties Of the Office of
assessor, and not for all the duties that may be
assigned to him by law, and there is a special pro
vision in the statute requiring an additional bond
to be given for the collection of poll tax This
provision expressly negatives the presumption
that the sureties are bound for his acts besides
the statute in enumeratng the acts for which the
sureties are bound, expressly omils this duty
This action is for default in the performance of
duty particularly named, to wit : for failure TO
pay over money which it is alleged the defendant
collected, viz poll tax. He, the defendant
seeks to file as au Offset claim which is allowed
him by the Board of Supervisors for acting as
assessor OF Trinity County. | do not think this
can be done. for the reason that the law having
appropriated this poll tax fund for a special pur.
pose, it was passed beyond the control of the
Board of Supervisors, under the decision of the
Supreme Court, and they have no right to allow
a claim Of any exist against the general fund
TO be offset against special fund The law gives
a specific allowance to wit fifteen per cent for
collecting poll tax, and the assessor cannot get
