From The Tally Northwest
OVERLAND MAIL TO CALIFORNIA.

IL Is understood from the most reliable source
that the able head Of the Post Office Department at
Washington, Governor Aaron v. Brown, has closed a
ance Of the entire letter mail semi-weey, in fourhorse
coaches to California. The trip is to be made in twenty
five days. and the expectation is strong from the reputa
ton and ability of the contractors and their securities
that the service will and be performed
cording TO the requirements of the act Of Congress.
The route says the Press has two starting points
the Aisssippi-one at St Louis and the other at Mem
phs-Inaking junction at Little Rock, the capital Of
Arkansas
From Little Rock il passes by to Preston, in
Texas thence to the best crossing the Rio Grande
near Donna Anna Fort Fillmore ; thence along the
road now making to Fort Yuma; and thence through
the best valley and passes to San Francisco
''Thc contractors will send out party by the next
steamer to begin their reconnaissance from California
coming eastward, whilst party from Memphis and an
other from St Louis viii start westward to meet
them. Each party viii pass ON, reviewing the correct
thought necessary Tor the successful commencement and
operations OF the service. =
The whole country will feel grateful to GOV Brown
for the prompttude with which he has thus carried ont
the wishes of Congress in the important matter of Cali
foia overland mail route. Few public were
necessary in opinion, than the in question,
since the mails of the United States in their trans
portaton to and from California, will not pass without
our boundaries thus leaving the people in dan
ger of their obstruction from foreign powers This is
but another triumph of the administration another
triumph of civilization, thanks to Gov Brown

IMPORTANT DECISION OF THE SUPREME CoURT.--ln the
case of the Commonwealth as. McAlliser and Hess re-
Gently carried to the supreme court OF Pennsylvania ON
writ Of error to the court Of common pleas OF Lancaster
county it was decided that when an administrator OF
trustee deposits trust funds in his name in bank OF
savings institution which fails the loss shall fall upon him.
and not upon the cesq trust The court held that the
liability OF administrator trustee for funds lost by
the failure of the bank institution in which they have
been deposited does depend upon the good faith pr
dence or Judgment with which he may have acted nor
upon the fact that he has deposited his funds in the
same place. lie is personally responsible for the loss OF
the money deposited in his name, because he did not
make the deposit as administrator or trustee.
