We take the following handsome COM

Lieut.. Gov. Anderson.
We take the following handsome com
pl:ment to our townsman, Lieut.. Gov
Anderson, from the San Francisco Herald
we have more than once expressed OIL
satisfaction at the able, impartial and dig
niiitd manner in which Mr.. Anderson
has presided over the deliberations Of tn
Senate during his term Of office, and i
affords us sincere pleasure to find on
good opinion Of him endorsed by so dis
tinguishcd a journal al the Herald, th'
more SO from the fact that its editor, Mr.
Nugent, never bcstows unmcrited praise
We heartily welcome him back to Oil
ranks, and hope long to do battle side by
side with him, in the'fcrce conflicts thai
arc to be fought for the future triumphs
of the national Democracy.
The Senate, previous to adjournment
on yesterday, adopted, unanimously and
with demonstrations Of the heartieSt feel.
ing, q resolution complimentary to Lieu
tenant Governor Anderson, for his Impair
tial and 4naSterly discharge Of his duties
as presiding officer Of the Senate. We
must in justice declare that no more mcr'
tied compliment has ever been paid by
the Senate. Governor Anderson has pre-
sided during two scSSions;--onc Of them
of more intense excitement and interest
than had ever before been witnessed in
California. Two cases Of impeachment
involving, at every turn Of their progress,
grave questions of law, elaine d from the
presiding officer an extraordinary rcadi-
ness and convcrSancy with precedent and
practice. Ills lirmneSS, prOmptitudc and
ability enabled him to master all these
difficulties with eminent ability. lie cio-
SeS his term with the universal respect OF
the members of the Senate, and wccan-
not hope better for the purity of Califor-
min legislation than that Governor Ander
sons successor may trcadin his footsteps
When the hour ofadjournmcnt had come,
the Lieutenant Governor made neat and
feeling address and at the close declared
the eighth session of the California LcgiS-
laturc closed. In this connection VIC take
great pleasure in stating that Governor
Anderson, now that all real or fancied oh,
legations to the American party have ccaS-
cd, will forever hereafter be found bat
tling for the principles, interests and the
honor OF the great conservative party of
the Cnion-thc Democrat party.
MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF Two
BROTHERS. month or six weeks
ago, says the San Francisco Bulletin Of
the 9th inst, two young men, said to he
brothers, engaged in the manufacture Of
tirc-proof safes, on the corner Of Sacra-
mento and Mason streets, mysteriously
disappeared from their place Of business,
aud since that time nothing has been seen
or heard Of them by their ncighbors.-
They left their workshop with all the ma
-terial for carrying on the business, with
the evident intention Of returning immc-
diatcly. The hammer is still lying on
the anvil, the files, drills, punches and 9TH
or instruments Of their trade are on the
benches, and safe in forward state of
completion occupies the floor. The key
Of the safe is in the lock, az though hav-
ing been just fitted, while, scattered
around, are rivctS, screws, aud tools of va
rious kinds, together with sheet and bar
iron and stecl-cvcrything indicating
that the absence of the owners was intrn-
dcd to be only temporary, The upper
rooms of the house arc entirely empty,
although it is said the men slept there
The anvil, bellows and vices, Of which
last there are two, in fact all the tools, are
entirely new. The ncighbors represent
the disappeared persons as two very in
duStrious men. They were frequently
heard at work ut 10 or l / O'clock at
night, but no person seems to have been
much acquainted with them. tits, how
ever, known that they were in the habit
of going guning OH the bay on sundays,
but whether they have pcrishcd on one oI
these excursions, or lost their lives 10y
some Of thc-fou means so often employed
in this city, is left to conjecture. That
they have passed to" that bourne from
whence no traveller returns" there can bC
but little doubt.
There is nothing in the house to indi
cate " ho the parties were, except bill o.
safe-castings from the Vulcan Foundry
made out to Mr.. Lotfler, and bearing
date March 18th, 1857.
