after the rank and file began to divide in
some wards, until eight or nine captains
and over three hunder men in this city alone
have declared for law and order. Mr..
Wood, sitting under guard in his private
room and allowing no one to approach,
has gone through the form. of trying and
dismissing all these men, and has sworn
in others-and such others as the people
ought to know, although the Mayor refus-
es to let any person see the list of names.
To give some show Of legality to these
appointments, the Mayor procured an ordi-
nance from the Common Council, in direct
violation Of the Police laws, both old and
new, reviving the watch system and placing
the power of making and unmaking watch
men in the hands of the Mayor alone. The
intrusion of the Mayors new appointees,
many of whom are men of the most infa-
nous character, engendered much i'll feel
ing in the entire Department, although no
collision had occurred up to the time of the
decease of the Street Commissioner. This
event introduced new element in the con-
test. The vast political patronage Of that
Department made its. possession by the
Mayor matter Of ardent desire. With
| its two millions Of dollars expended every
year, legion of Contractors and an army
Of laborers, its potency in the primary e.
lection and at the -ballot-box is magical--
Although the term Of the Street Commits
sioner was BY special enactment extended
to the Close Of the next year, the Mayor
saw in The death Of Mr.. Taylor an opportu-
nifty for ths exercise Of his favorate doubt
! fol powers. But while he had his partisans

MURDER IN Ell DORADO Gov NTY The

"Mr. Lee, of White Oak. while on cunning
excursion of the 7th inst, discovered in the
chapparal. near White Oak Flat, the bodies
Of two Cinnamon who had evidently been
murdered having bullet hole thro'gh
the head The pockets of one Of them were
turned inside out and their general appear
ance indicated that they had been robbed.
In the pocket of one was found a foreign mi

were very much decayed, and must have
been murdered several months ago. Justice
Peton was notified of the fact and at once
summoned a coroner's jury, who held an in.

DISTRICT COURT eRoEEEDINGs.
HON. c. E. Wilkins, Presiding.
MoSpAy. Nov. 18th.

MONDAY, Nov. 10Th.
The Court was occupied all day yesterday
with thetrisl Of Thurman charged with the
burning of Henshaw'a granary on the 10Th
of May last. The evidence was taken down
by the Glerk. from whose minutes we have
derived the purport of the testimony.
The principal witnesses for the prosecu-
ton are Mr.. Henshaw and DR.. Moore, the
substance Of whose evidence is as follows:
The granary was discovered to os ON fire
about daylight in the morning, AMI Oh going
to it, the witnesses discovered the tracks Of
a man leading TO and from the building.
which were traoeable in the direction of
Doctor Stockton's house. situated about a
half mile from the scene of the fire. While
engaged in examining Tie tracks. the de-
fendant came up, and engaged in conversa-
tice with the witnesses. and in response to
remark that the tracks were made by
person with small foot, said to Mr.. Hen
shaw, 81 have small foot, you had better
measure it," which suggestion Mr.. Hcnshaw
attempted to carry out, but when measuring
his feet with the tracks, defendant shufiled
in such manner as tc make the measuring
uncertain and difficult. There were no
other tracks in the neighborhood which
seemed to indicate the direction in which
the person who set the fire had come, so def
i~itplv as those alludel To
Other witnesses testified to The fact of the
prisoners being on the ground at the time
spoken of by Henshaw and Moore, and also
tc'the Suspicious actions Of defendant and
his evident feeling of outlines. 1t was
proven that he vas somewhet intoxicated
during the morning of the fire, and frequent
ly alluded to the fact of his being suspected,
in such manner as TO induce the belief that
he really was the guilty party, which belief
le6 to his arrest shrtly after the burning.
The above is about the drift of the evi
dence for the prosecution as far as elected
yesterday, which being rendered slcwly oc-
cupicd the greater portion of the day. The
evidence on the part of the defense will, be
offered to day
Court adjourned until 10 o'clock A. II I,
to. day. The next case in the docket is that

SILLY.-The splutter and fuss which some
newspapers make when they discover that
one or two Of their news articles have been
inadvertently re-published by other papers
without telling the public the very unin-

We have been foolish enough in times bye
gone, to growl ct such things ourself, but
Phave learned better, and intend never to do
so again. The Sacramento Bee is particu-
Flarly prone to say Z" that's mine," when its
articles are honored with an insertion in the
columns of contemporaries, minus its name
as the "great originator" The practice
tlooks decidedly childish to an outsider.

The NIorlnons.

the other day, that " were it not for the
Mormons, editors would almost be at loss
for a subject" and however much truth
there rs in the assertion, the fearful position
OF Mormon affairs is certainly one which de-
mands, not only the attention and comment
Of the Press, but urges itself most clamor-
ously upon the consideration of the General
Government, and the people at large The
rebellious feelings and reasonable intents
of the Mormons, are no longer matter of
srrmise and speculation--they are proved
by repeated evidences to be in actual exer-
else, and already have they assumed the
position Of an open and defiant enemy, and
as such have laid an embargo on trade and
travel across the Plains, and claim tie right
and practice their might to arrest emigrants
and issue passports 10 travellers passing
through the territory, the government of
which they have usurped.
1t is super fuous to repeat. how almost
completely the overland travel by the north
ern routes will be arrested by this deplora-
BILE state of affairs, and what an obstinate
hindrance il is and will be to the establish
ment Of National Wagon Road, or Pacific
Railway, if the Government at Washington
should see fit to commence soch undertak-
ings; these effects are too plain to be over
looked and their cause demands speedy and
vigorous attack.
While urging the commencement of war
against the Mormons, we are at the same
time making evident the need of appropriations
on our frontiers to withstand the attacks
the Mormons themselves, and the hordes of
Indian allies they would incite to hostility
against u.s. Believing these Latter Day
Saints, armed and strengthened with all the
frenzied force of infatuated zealots, and be
ing by no means Insignificant in numbers,
withal, we consider that in opening cam
paign against them, we should 60 into the
business properly prepared, and with the
anticipation of long. bloody and expensive
war.
Dsregarding the one great principle of
marital rights, which holds together, in
peace and friendship, the enlightened COM
munities of Europe and America, by their
practice of polygamy, and induced by their
base>and seditious leaders to lend their hand
against all who are not of their religious
persuasion .he co.exstense of the Mormons
with other sects seems entirely Incompatible,
and the pclicy of their dispersion or annihi-
lation suggests itself, as the only ono ade
Guate to the emergency. One of two propo
sitions must be adopted Either travel across
the Plains must be abandoned altogether, or
the Mormons be driven from their present
position Insimatious have been received of
the intention of the War Department to
adopt the latter proposition. We trust
those intimations are we'll founded.

THE CHINESE Row. The Cinnamon who
we're arrested on Friday night for being en-
gagged in fight at Chinatown. were brought
before Judge Berry yesterday, but owing to
the inability OF the prosecuting witness to
attend, the case was continued until to-day.
The Chinaman who is in Jail is the prosecut.
ing witness referred to, and is so battered
and "stove up" as to be quite unable to
stir about. His batterers accuse him of
petit larceny, and as soon as be has succeed
ed in obtaining satisfaction of the Court for

justice for his short comings in the filching
way. He says they are bruisers, and they
