HAVING CoCNTERFYIT SPANISH Dies Is MS Pos
sEssoS.-About % O'Clock last Saturday morning, as
Officer Connover of the Fifth Ward was passing
through Franklin street and when between Hudson
street and West Broadway, he met coored man car
ryng a small wooden box upon bis shoulder The sus-
pcons of the officer being excited from the appearance
Of the man and the unseasOnableness of the hour, he
called upon the man to stop, and asked him what he
had TIE man replied that his - friend had gone to
mo. 20" pointing toward Hudson street. The officer
told him he did not anything about his friend, but
wished to know what in the box He replied
Three pieces of iron steel and then took the box
from his shoulder pulled of the cover, and drew out
mlling machine, from the singularity of which the
officer concluded to convey the man to the Station
House and further examine the box. The man gave
his name as Victor Mayer and said he WAS cook on
board the Spanish brig Albertina. At the Station
House Mayer pulled letter, written in Spanish, from
his pocket and gave it to the Captain. The transla
ton of the letter is as follows:
"FRIENn ANDREs-You will deliver to Mr.. Victor
Mavey cook of the Albertina as soon AS W. delivers
10 YOU on shore the three pieces of the machine which
have delivered 10 him in box, and we have agreed
that he shall land it AT the place which YOU may desig-
nate. To which end look out for my brother Jose in
Havana A. the Agency Of Beiarano, that he may go
with you ON board 10 see the cook
"Yours T. L."
Upon examining the box it was found to contain
pair of dies for striking half dOubloons and milling
machine. The dies dated 1871, Charles H.
Meyer said he receiyedthe box from Francisco Deano
No 4s Pine street with whom he had made al agree
mert to take It to Havana and on delivering he was
to receive 81. Meyer detained at the Saton-House
until morriI 2 when the officer went with him and saw
Mr.. Delano. Mr. ID. said he had received the box and
paid Sls5 for it, but he did not know to whom he paid
the money nor who brought the box to him. The Off
Ger asked Delano if he did not know what the box
contained to which he replied that he did, but subse
quently denied saying so. Upon the evidence of the
officer Delnno was committed for further examination,

That New Party. Again.


1t is really amusing to read the twaddle
with which the (late) X. N. papers are Glled,
in advocacy OF the No-Party, or Peoples
Party movement. Anything in opposition to
the Democracy, is their motto; ami in obedi-
ence to this inscription on their banner, they
swallow the hybrid, No-Party humbug with
a deal of gusto 1t is only very lately that
they were the organs Of the most proscrip-
tive party that ever existed in this or any
other country-a party that owed its tempo
rarv success to secret oaths and midnight
plotting-yet the moment defeat overtakes
them, they suddenly proclaim themselves the
enemies OF every thing in the shape of party,
denounce party tactics, and hold up their
hands in holy horror when they speak of
king Caucus"
Many months ago, we predicted that the
organizations for 1851 in California, would
be the Democracy, the Republicans, and So
called Peoples Party, with here and there
an Old Line Know Nothing; and there is
now every reason to believe that the predc-
ton will be fulfilled to the letter. The coun-
try K n. papers are rapidly falling into the
No-Party liue; and their yelping will shortly
be heard from one end OF the State to the
other. Bless the virtuous souls of their re-
spectiye editors Our weighty neighbor OF
the Columbian leads of, and says new par
ty will be formed on local issues TO oppose
the Democracy in Tuolumne. The It's"
or "sapis" or saline editor of the aforesaid
Journal says the opposition is to be composed
"alike OF Democrats, Americans and Repub-
licans;" but we Will wager all the valuable
discoveries of ancient relics we ever expect to
make, that not one good, sound Democrat
will be led into the snare. You are welcome
to all YOU can seduce into the No-Party
movements you are, "hos" and we trust, in
asmuch as you are of course prepared with
all the necessary convenences, that you will
baptize them in such manner that they may
forever after be known by their odor
The Placeryille Americda copies the Col
Iambiaa approviDgly, and cries out Justify
against party, caucus, &c. 1t, too, is evident
ly willing to advocate anything promising
the defeat of the Democracy. That is, Of
course, its great object; defeat the Democra-
cy, and it would not care what the character
of the government might be-strictly native,
under the absolute control of "bloody fur
riners," or "Black as a Cole"
We shall keep our readers posted on this

Taxing Mining Claim.

Mr. Senator Bell, the acknowledged Re
publican leader in the present California Leg.
islature, made long speech on Wednesday
last, insisting on the propriety of taxing min
ing claims. The Slate Journal says:-"Al-
though We refrain from expressing any opin-
ion on the subject, and differ from that gen.
tleman widely in politics, yet in justice, we
are bound to say that it was brilliant ef-
fort"
The effort Of Mr. Bell may have been
never so brilliant, and the State Journal may
be never so unprepared to express an opinion,
but neither of these propositions settle the
question that mining claims should be taxed
We are fully prepared to express our humble
opinion, and that is, distinctly, that mining
claims should not be ta1ed. We have, howey-
er, neither time nor room. this week, to argue
the question. Certainly the mountain men,
bers will not allow any such ridiculous meas
ure to pass. Free mines for free people"
The Legislature had better adjourn at once,
if it can do nothing else than seek out new
objects of taxation. For the thrtieth time,
we ask, in the name Of Democracy and COM
mon sense, why not reduce the expenditures
to the present income, rather than increase
taxation to meet extravagant and unnecessa-
ry outlays?

The New CoUNTY.-The session Of the
Legislature is fast drawing to close and yet
We have seen no definite action on the bill to
create new county out of parts of Sacra-
mento, San joaquin, Calaveras and Amador.
We had expected it would be killed ere this,
and now fear that it may be permitted to rest
till the last day and then be hurried through
in the confusion of winding up. The people
of this section of the county are opposed to
a1y such move. There is no more taxable
property in the county than is needed to pay
necessary expenses.
The principal favorer of the measure are
residents along Dry creek in Sacramento
county, and in that portion of San Joaquin
which the proposed county embraces. W.
have no doubt that the whole affair could bt
traced back to few Office seekers aud som'
speculator who desires county seat location
on his lands
We call on our members to see to 1t tha
the Obnoxious bill is npped in the bud.

Mail RourE-Probably no county of its
population in the State is so badly oil Tor
mail routes as is Amador. With as good
roads as any mountain section, roads over
which stages pass daily, we have scarcely a
1.-THE of the mail facilities required. 1t takes
two days for letter to reach Volcano by
mail from Drytown, lone, Fiddletown and
Indian Diggings-although daily line Of
stages runs between here and three of those
places named
lone is only supplied from Drytown, and
the mail from Drytown to this place is forced
to be kept over oae day in Jackson. Indian
Diggings and Fiddletown send their mails to
us by way of Sacramento.
A mail route should be established between
Sacramento and Volcano via Drytown and
one via lone and Jackson.
The FL Dorado folks are demanding n
route from Pacerville to Indian Diggings
which should be continued to Volcano.
Cannot our Members in the legislature in
duce the passage of joint resolution asking
for the establishment of the necessary routes!
DAVID c. BRoDERcK.- noticed Il
statement in the Vide West, a few days ago,
that Mr.. Broderick was never Lieut.. Gov
ernor of this State, but only temporary Pres
ident of the Senate for short time.
The facts are, that when Governor Bur-
nett resigned his Office and the Lieut.. Gov
ernor, McDougaI was sworn in as Governor,
Mr.. Broderick was elected President of the
Senate, aud therefore Lieut.. Governor, on
the 9th of January 1851, which office he
filed till the Inauguration Of Gov. Bigler
in 1852.
If McDougal had in any manner left the
Office of Governor vacant during that time,
Mr. Broderck, in accordance with the Con
stituton, would have become Governor of
California.
LEcIsLAruRE.-Th Senate is yet engaged
in the trial of the Controller, Col. Whitman.
We have nothing yet elected that shows
him implicated in the swindles on the State
treasury.
The bill providing for the draining OF the
Tulare marshes has passed both houses, as
has also the reduction in the prices OF public
printing. and the bill for Constitutions
