The Arson Case.

After having taken the case of Michael
Kelly under Amusement, Justice Berry COM
United the defendant to appear before the
Grand Jury on charge OF Arson The cir
cumstaniial evidence which led to Kelly's
arrest and commitment, is substantially as
follows: On the night Of the FIRE, Kelly and
his friend Welch, entered q drinking saloon
kept BY Robert Counery, and after taking a
drink or two, k-lly asked the privilege Of
singing a song. which Connery objected to.
saying that it was late and PEOPLE were sleep
ing in the nlghborhood, aud moreover that it
was time to go to bed. Kelly manifested
some dissatisfaction at not being allowed to
sing, but expressed his willingness to retire
which be did, after obtaining some matches
from Connery. On going out the door, he
remarked TO C0nnery in The presence Of two
or three witnesses. that he was about leav-
ing this town for Sacramento, adding
nery'S house he was seen to go toward that
"look out for fire 10 night, Bob" From Con
portion OF Coeman's House in which the
fire originated, and in about fifteen minutes
after goiug there, the flames burst out
Witnesses for the defence testified that they
met Kelly in town just after the fire broke
out but the court thought that even this was
not sufficient to establish an abb, as he
might have had ample time to come to town
after having set the fire. With these S rong
circums,antiai evidences, we conceive that
Justice Berry could do 10 otherwise than
higher court.

A SINGULAR CiRcUMsrANcE.-The fol.
lowing result Of the vote in Sonoma County
upon sheriff, is one of the most remarkable
occurrences of which we have ever read
We clip the following from the California
Erpress:
1.-The Supervisors Of Sonomo county. who
net on Tuesday at Santa Rosa, to ascertain
aud declare the County election returns
discovered says the Stockton Republican
that the three candidates for Sheriff Ind an

were Woods, Democratic; Siddons, PEOPLES:

The Speakershin,

Now that the voice of the people has again
decided who .hcy wish to represent their in
terests at the Capital, the question suggests
itself to the soverigns, represented by the
free and patriotic press, who shall we
have for Speaker of the Assembly" Urged
on by sense OF satisfaction with their va
rlous representatives. elect, tho organs of
certain counties present the claims and
Qualifications of their different favorites all
pro bono publico, and with an eye single to
the advancement of their county's conse-
quence and the distinguished elevation Of
their newly created standard bearers
None can find fault with these organs for
designating their preferences, and MS much
dlsinclnation as perhaps we might feel in
advocating the interests Of |. ". Smith of
San Bernardno, or others whom we might
parncularize, we accord the right to all to
put forward the claims of whom they please,
and claim the same right for ourselves.
Col. N. L. Whitesides has been specified
as the preference of q portion Of the Yuba
delegation aud Of the California Express
Now that is all right and proper as far as it
goes, but it don't suit us. We have rep
resentntive elected in Butte county, and
deem his claims rs prominent and just as ur-
gent us those Of Col Whitesides, and not to
make an "odorous' comparison. we think
our man is ore proper person for the po-
sition than is his Yuha county rival.
In the first place, Yuba has flse represent.
atives. while We have but one, and our one is
probably just as well adapted for the posi-
ton Of Speaker as any of these five. Our
population, "a is shown by the recent vote
is considerably larger than that of Yuha,
and needs az fun and complete y represent.
alton. The conclusion we dcduce from these
can better afforl to DO without the Spe ker-
ship, than We with bu, one, eveA if Yuba af.
forded ne capable candidate for the po,i-
ton as Mr. Kitchens
We are unaware Of Mr.. Kitchens feelings
about this matter, and indeed suppose that
he has never entertained an idea of being
Gu dida'e for the Speakership; but we want
to keep pace with uur patriotic cotempora-
ries f the Press in Yuba and other counties,
and feel bound to advocate the election Of
one whom we think is qualified, and disposed
to act for the interests of the &C res
Mort h +" Moreover, we don't know Mr.
Whiresidcs personally and we do know Mr.
Kitchens, neither do we live in Yuba county
AMI do live in Butte. Therefore, living in
Butte aud not in Yuba, and knowing our.
man and not having an acquaintance with
the other, we shall continue to hang Mr.
Kitchens banner on the outer walls, until
he tells us TO take il in.
