Miners VS. Grant Holders.

We have just read the minority report of
the committee on .Mines and mining inter-
ests," to which was referred the bill ITO
provide for the working of the mines and
minerals found in lands lying or being
within the grants heretofore made by the
crown of Spain, or the supreme government
of Mexico, to private persons, prior to the
treaty of Gaudaloupe Hidalgo,' which diff
fers materially from the opinions held by
majority of the committee, in relation to
mines thus located. Although agreeing in
the main with the grounds taken by the
minority Of the committee, Senator Dosh)
we regret that we have not been favored
with n copy of the majority report of the
committee, inasmuch as large majority of
our population are deeply interested in the
subject, and We believe ninety-nine out of
every hundred of our citizens, are opposed
to surrendering the mineral lands to the
holders of grants, many of which they be-
lieye to have been fraudulently obtained
Hence the action of our Legislature upon
this subject, will be regarded with more
than ordinary interest. This question has
been already brought to public notice by the
agents of Mr.. Fremont's claim warning
miners to desist from their operations with
in the limits of the AIariposa Grant, and the
people undoubtedly look to the Legislature
for some action tending to debae the rights
of miners and grant holders in this particu-
lar
The report before US proceeds to show, by
copious extracts from the Spanish and Mex
lean laws in force since 1887, that the min
erals were reserved as the property of the
crown, and subject to the disposal of the
Supreme Government, and were not trans
ferred by said grants, but passed to the U.
S. under the provisions of the treaty by
which our government acquired this terri
tory and from thence, by virtue of the act
of Congress admitting California into the
Union as a sovereign State, to the sover-
eighty of California, where they now rest
The proof adduced fully shows that the min
erals were reserved by law to the supreme
government Of Mexico, and in consequence,
tho confirmation of these Mexican grants by
| the United States government, does not
transfer the minerals from its possession and
control If, as maintained by the report.
the control of the minerals was vested in
California by the act of Congress admitting
California into the Union as a sovereign
State, it is undoubtedly the duty of the
Legislature to declare the rights of miners
located upon said grants.

EXECUTION or ANAsTAc1o GARCIA.-
We learn by private letter received last
night, says the San Francisco Herald, that
the notorious Anastaco Garcia was hung in
the Jail of Monterey, en- the night of the
10th. No particulars were given, but as he
had not been brought to trial, we presume
that he was not executed by due process of
law. Garcia was a desperate scoundrel,
though in the early part of his life he is
represented to have been very well con-
Quoted man, but one bad step led to another
1t is known almost to Il certainty that he
was the murderer of Messrs. Wall and Will
hanson, and also William Hardmount, Chas
Layton and Joaquin De La Tore, besides
founding severely several others.

IDENTITY CT ORGANIZED BEiNGs.-
The capacity of an organized being to
be perpetuated by the construction of
other organized being is truly wonder
full for the essential peculiarities are
transmitted for thousands and thous-
ands of years. When we inspect the
remains of Egyptian antiquity in the
British Museum, we are struck with the
similarity of the various animals which
are. represented in the drawings or
which are preserved by the process of
embalming. Cuvier observes: Il have
carefully examined the figures of ami
mals and birds engraven on the numer-
ous obelisks brought from Egypt to an
cient Rome. In the general character,
which is all that can have been pre-
served, these representations perfectly
resemble the originals as we now see
them Lawrence. in his valuable work
on Man, observes that animals are just
the same now as at any, even the re-
motest, period Of our acqaintance With
them. The geological descriptions of
Aristotle, composed twenty-five centu-
ries ago, apply in all points to the in
dividuals of the present time and eve
ry incidental mention of animals, Or
allusion to their characters and proper
ties, in the writings of historians, po-
cts and fabulists confirms their identi-
tv of form and endowments.

MURDER NEAR SoNoRA.-The San Fran
cisco Herald contains the particulars of a
horrid murder perpetrated at Lyons Ranch
on the evening of the l4th. Three brothers
named Blakely, and two others (names un-
knowD,) We're sitting at supper in ther cab
in. Seven or eight men crept up to the
open door and fired on them One of the
brothers fell dead; another one had his arm
shot in pieces; and all of the party was
wounded, but managed to make their escape
through back door. The murderers then
set fire to the house, and burned it to the
ground, and with it the body of the mur-
dered man. No cause has yet been assigned
for this horrid deed. A lawyer of Sonora
has been arrested on suspicion of being one
of the party that committed the deed. Great
excitement prevails.

recollected that the above fine steamship
broke her shbft on her last trip from Pana-
ma, and that it was feared it could not be
replaced in this country. The Benicia Her
aid OF Saturday, says, however, that this
mammoth piece of iron work is row COM
pleted, and ready fer the finish and polish
ing touch, which will be given in few days.
This is the heaviest piece of iron Tork ever
commenced in this State The shaft, before
it was broken. weighed eighteen tons. 1t
was at first supposed the pieces of the shaft
could be welded together. which was tried,
but the project failed, and it was abandoned.
1t was then proposed to lengthen it by weld
ing blooms to the shaft, which has succeeded
admirably.

person has been convicted in Placer county,
of being accessory after the fact, to highway
robbery, in the operations of Tom Bell and
his gang He has been keeping the Noun
taineer House, near Auburn, which was
rendezvous for the gang. He is, undoubted
ly, the person referred to by Sheridan as
the keeper of the place where counterfeit
money was given out. The testimony against
him, as reported in the Placer Press, is of
the most damning character, and the Jury
after an absence of twenty minutes, brought
in verdict of ''guilty." The defence of
fered was but slight. The punishment is
not less than one year in the State Prison,
aud may be extended as long as the Court
may see proper 1t is a matter of congrat
ulatofi that these organized bands of rob
bers and thieves are being broken up thro'-
out the State, and we trust, foreshadows a
better state of affairs Butte county has
provided for the care of some six or seven
