Rennett on RrpudlatOn.

Suspicion haunts the guilty mind OF
Bennett, of the N. Y. Herald, that the good
people Of California will "repudiate" their
honest debts, and dares to so express him
self After abiding to the decision OF the
Supreme Court in relation TO the Wagon
Road Bill, and then expressing doubts as to
the honesty Of Californians at large, he
winds up as follows:
"lf the question could be settled in half
an hour by the merchants of San Francisco,
no doubt the creditors would not suffer even
in Imagination for n single day. But the
highminded men over whom Governor Nc
Dougal presided are n very small item in the
population Of the Stnte. Their views are
not certain to be those of the poor farmers,
and miners, and fishermen, and Migrants,
who will be called upon to vote the ratihca-
ton Of n remedial act.
Now there's ga opinion as is opinion
| If the merchants of San Francisco-that law
abiding, Constitution loving, habeas corpus
respecting community of saints. presided
over by Tom King and John ?. Manrow-if
they had the question to settle, they would
do it in half an hour! But leave it to the
ragged, worthless people of the mines. who
are so utterly devoid of principle as to even
entrust their hard earnings in the hands of
such San Francisco men as /. C. Woods and
Harry Meiggs, and expect to get it back
again sometime or other-leave the ques-
ton to these miserable working men, and to
the farmers and mechanics, and oh how
poor, dear, unsophisticated Wall street would
suffer. Here Is the catalogue again-"Poor
farmers, and miners, and fisherman, and
Migrants" Now that's nice set to bring
to bear against the "purest and best of San
Francisco. That's selection Of associates
that Mr.. Bennett had better make in New
York, and not am ong the two first named on
the catalogue. Pick out the "poor farmers
and miners" and give them fits by them
selves, if you dare, Mr.. Bennett; but you
are taking the biggest kind Of chances" to
mix them up with "fshermen," but more
especially with "vagrants," and such a
break" made in certain mountain localities
on this side the Rocky Mountains might,
perhaps, cost his Satanic Majesty" a most
uncomfortable ride ON a very roughly hewu
rail- or may be something worse.
But Benefits opinions become more and
more worthless and unsound as he grows
older and more corrupt, and this assertion
about Californians and their matters is
among the most foolish of them all

Illinois and Indiana.

Both branches of the Illinois Legislature
are Democratic. We learn by the Cleve-
land Plaindealer, that on the organi cation
OF this body, on the 9th ult., the Fusionists
kicked up quite row in an effort to organ
i2c the House themselves. They decreed in
caucus to have the old Fusion Clerk call to
order, and thus give him power to recognize
whom he pleased as members, shutting out,
of course, Democrats from the several con-
tested districts, enough to give Fusionists
majority, and elect their speaker. The
Clerk, Bridges, tried it on, but on motion of
the Democrats, was put out of the House
pi ct armis, and the Democrats had things
their own way.
A more ridiculous Republican farce was
Senate of Indiana. The Fusionists who have
q small majority in that body, hearing
rumor that Lieut.. Gov. Willard, the legal
presiding officer until his successor is quail
fed to take his place, was going to reject the
certificates of several Republican members,
whose seats were contested, aiming to secure
a ma ority in the Senate, and then 90 into
joint convention and elect two United States
Senators, took the alarm, and attempted to
organize the Senate without Gov willard
The got a speaker pro TEN. into a side chair
and went on with two separate organiza
tons awhile, but finally caved in, and all
but two recognized the Governor as the
presiding officer.

Webster was arraigned before the Court of
Sessions to receive his sentence, which was
applied miidiy. as follows: On one case he
was sentenced to five years and on the other
ten years. in the State prison. On hearing
his sentence, he very impudently remarked
to the Court that they might as we'll have
made it twenty five years, while they were
about it, whereupon the Judge remarked
that he was disposed to oblige. and ordered
the sentence so changed AS to make the two

took no further notice of him.

The Town Talk of Sunday furnishes the
important information of the purchase, by
our government, of Lower California, Sono-
ra, and chihuahua. The arrangement was
made between Mr.. Forsyth, the American
Minister at Mexico, and President Common
fort, and needs but the assent of the Presi-
dent and Senate of the United States, which
it will undoubtedly receive. Commonfort
asked thirty five millions for those States,
but finally consented to accept fifteen mill
ions, of which three millions are te be set
apart for compensation to American citi-

government for damages sustained Among
them are some connected with the Archibald

at his own expense. Commonfort is his own
treasurer, and will be till the money is paid.
