BANDITTI IN THE SOUTH The Los An
geles Star has received information that the
mountains of San Bernadino and vicinity,
are the rendezvous of large band of rob-
bers, who have with them many valuable
horses, ali of which have been stolen from
Santa Barbara down. Those fellows are
committing great excesses upon the Indians
in the locality, as we'll as upon such travel
lers as happen to pass their way A party
we'll armed and equipped, who could be sup
ported in the field for about month, would
be of essential service in ridding the county
of these pests, and of recovering their ill
gotten booty. Such company could be
easily raised here, and those whose property
is being wasted by the thieves, would, we
think, cheaply secure protection, by con-
tributing the necessary means of support.

Judge Field and the Miners.

Judge Field may we'll count upon an oil.
most unanimous vote from the mining popu
lation, from the fact that oil the legislation
that has ever been had upon mining ques.
tions, which has resulted in a real benefit to
the miners. owes its origin to the wise and
liberal views of the Judge himself The
author of our California practice act, one o,
the very best in existence--he, wisely, and
In great justice to the miners, wrote that
clause In the act which makes the laws and
regulations of the mining districts those
which are not in conflict with the spirit and
letter Of the constitution paramount ob0pe
all others.
Thus do miners owe to Judge Field the
privilege of exercising and maintaining one
of their dearest rights the power of making
their own laws, in the appropriation and
equal distribution of the mineral lands in
the various ravnes and placers throughout
the State. The Miners can rest assured
that in voting for Judge Field, they are
casting their ballots for one who has ever
had their best interests at heart, and who
by this one act alone, has befriended them
more substantially than all the Legislatures
that ever convened since the State was ad.
mitted into the Union.

Communicated.

Mr.. EDITOR The presence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Stark among us reminds me of cir
cumstance that occurred in 1852, which
take great pleasure in speaking Of In that
year, during the passage from Panama, on
one Of the P. NJ S. Co.'S steamers, a gentle
man named Levi Smith, Esq, of Troy. N
Y, was accidentally injured, very severely,
while the boat lay at Acapulco. When they
arrived at San Francisco, Mr.. Stark, with
the assistance of his kind hearted lady, did
all in their power to render Mr.. Smiths
misfortune as light as possible; and not only
this, but Mrs. s proposed to the writer, that
if he would select Il proper place, she and her
husband.would be pleased to give a benefit
for Mr.. Smith, so as to raise sufficient funds
for him to return home. The American
Theatre was selected, and the " "Gamester"
was played by them as never had seen it
before. The profits on this occasion amount
ed to the handsome sum of 81 $50 90, which
enabled Mr.. Smith to return to his family,
and laid the foundation of successful busi-
ness. 1t will perhaps be gratifying to Mr..
and Mrs. Stark to learn that their kindness
has placed him once more in a position just
to his tastes-master of splendid steam
packet ship. frequently receive communi-
cations from him, in all of which he prays
for the success of his kind benefactors.-
Surely such kindness as they have manifest
ed, not only on this, but other occasions,
will meet with its just reward.

Theatre.

The thrilling French Drama of Camille
was played last night to crowded house
Mrs Stark's assumption of the character of
Camille was most remarkably finished
piece of acting, and never have we seen an
audience more completely spell bound than
were those who had the good fortune to be
present during the performance of this pain
fully interesting play. Mr.. Stark's Armand
was in his most mastery style, and indeed
the whole piece was played with great care
and effect. Tonight, Shakspeare's great
tragedy of Othello will be presented. Mr.
Stark wall play Iago, Mrs. Stark persona.
ting Emilia Mr.. Horton will play Othelo
and Mr.. Phelps Cassie. An amusing after
piece entitled Psychology" will be pre-
sented for the first time on any stage. The
principal character, "W. Dovey Bobbs"
will be played by Mr.. Phelps Lots of fun
may be expected from this latter play.

The Supreme Judgship.

A writer in the Union of yesterday,
makes the following comments on Judge
Bennett, the Republican nominee for su-
preme Judge:
1.-The Sacramento Bee published rumor
concerning Judge Bennett, the Republican
nominee for Supreme Judge--some days
since-which has not been contradicted, and
must, therefore, have had foundation In
truth. This rumor, If | remember right.
was to the effect that certain parties. finding
that they could not use Judge Bennett on
the Bench induced him to resign by agree
ing to employ him as counsel. This is no
new development, although it has not. i
think, been made public in the newspapers,
until the Bee made itself busy in the mat
ter. | believe the story is, that Judge Ben
nett's opinion was known to be adverse to
the validity of the Alcalde grants in San
Francisco, and certain parties who were in-
terested in those grants, not wishing to have
decision rendered against them, procured
Judge Benefits resignation, at conside:a-
BILE outlay Of money, all in the shape of
counsel fees, paid him for professional SER
vices, after he ceased TO be Judge 1t has
been said that those watchful guardians OF
the financial interests of this State, Messrs.
Palmer, Cook & Co., were clients Of Judge
Bennett Immediately after his resignation,
and that they paid him most literally.
Friends of Judge Bennett admit the above
facts, and exonerate him from blame, for the
reason that he could not live on the salary
Of the Judgship, (viz: $4,000 per annum,
in scrip worth sixty cents on the dollar,
which made his income ONLY $500 per month
in cash, and that he had "A right TO resign,
and resume the practice of law"
OF this matter, the editor Of the Union
very sensibly remarks, No man who has
once resigned, to accept fee from parties
against whom he would have decided in
Court, ought ever to be placed again upon
the same bench. In such case, a mans $
ability would be an objection instead of a
recommendation"

about here for some months past by the
name of "0ld Jimmy Morrison" was dis

Morrison has lately been subject to fits, the

Important Rumor.

Ihe state Journal of Tuesday morning,
mentions rumor current in Sacramento.
which, should it prove correct, will have an
important bearing in the present guberna.
toriai canvass, as it is evidently move to
concentrate the opposition to the Democracy
upon candidate for Governor. The rumor
was to the effect that Stanly had returned
TO Sacramento for the purpose Of consulting
with regard to q withdrawal from the cam
paign. In case of his resignation. the name
of David II. Ashley, of Monterey is to be
presented. Mr.. Ashley, we believe. is a
Democratic Know-Nothing with Republican
proclivties, and is supposed to be available.
He was elected Senator on the Kno W. Moth
ing ticket of '55, and remained faithful to
his party during the the term of his office,
which is saying great deal for his fidelity,
and renders him acceptable to the Know
Nothing wing of the opposition. Could he
succeed in convincing the Republicans that
he was sail right" without losing the sup
port of his own wing, he might poll small
complimentary vote. But there's ''the rub
it was upon this rock that Stanly split
or, rather upon which he will fail of an
election. Mr.. Ashley would certainly be q
proper nice young man, could he effect this,
but the ides of September would still find
him far removed from the Gubernatorial
chair of California. Each wing of the oppo-
sition should run a candidate, and then they
will have FIRST rate excuse for the de-
feat that surely awaits them.

The GEYsER SPRINGs-These springs,
situated in Sonoma county, some forty. five
miles from Petaluma, are fast becoming a
favorite place of resort for invalds and
others in search of health and relaxation
from business. The restorative qualities of
the waters of these springs is said to be most
wonderful There are one hundred of the
springs, each of which spouts up steam and
spray like that of high pressure steam

DEATH OF MADAM HUNTER.-This noto-
woman. says the Placer Press, the propri-
etress of the robbers den on Dutch Ravine,
closed her worse than useless career on Sun
day, July 10th. Her dying request was
that her grave should be leveled smooth,
and that no tablet should mark the spot
where she was laid. She was perfect gi-
antess, as will be seen from the dimensions
of her cofiu, which was 81 feet long, 8 feet
inches wide, and feet inches high.

SAN BERNADINo.-Th Mormons had q
grand time on the Fourth. A procession of

ball closed the festivities of the day.

Rocks IN PITT RIVER VALLEY-In por-

Indians remain perfectly secure.

THE NEW observation-disclosures. Morris &
