Two INDIAN DIsTRICTs.--The citizens Of
San Diego have adopted, and caused to be
published, preamble and resolutions set
ting forth the necessity Of n division Of the
State into two Indian districts; alleging
that from the great extent CT country (thc
whole State) now under n single supern-
tendency, the Indians in the southern part
OF the Stats are not properly cared for, and
in consequence the white people are liable to
frequent incursions from the half famshed
natives. The resolutions are framed as n
petition to our State Legislature to inter-
cede with the General Government 70: its
action in accordance with the views Of the
inhabitants Of San Diego.

ATTEMPT AT MURDER AND RoBBERY.-
On Saturday night last. snys the Los Angeles
Star, another bold attempt to commit mur-
der and robbery was made in this city. A
gang of rusians, numbering four or FIVE,
having their faces blackencd, entered the
house o. Mr. Lewis Wilhart, who resides not
mile from town, tied him and his wife, and
commenced searching for money. They
found only $40, with which they were not
satisfied and then began a murderous attack
on the unoiiending man, who was unable to
resist. He was repeatedly cut and stabbed,
and one Of the villains remarked as he in
Mcted horrid cash across the chest Of the
poor man, " he's dead now" The villains
then departed 1t is to be regretted that

hPPoINTMENr orr SUPREMk JUDGE 49,
On Tuesday his Excelcncy, j. Ncely John.
son, appointed EX Governor Peer II Bur
nett to the vacancy on the Supreme Bench.
We understand that the appointment WAS
unsolicited, and feel waE lnted IN snying
that it will prove acceptable 10 the people OF
the State. Gov. Burnett enjoys the most
enviable reputation, being one Of the early
residents Of the State, and never having com
mitted but one net by which he incurred
popular ccnsure, and that net was the rcsig-
nation Of his Office. la the late reign Of ter.
ror, Judge Burnett stood like rock amid n
tempestuous ocean, beating back The angry
surges which assallcd him, and advocating
obedience TO the constitution and the laws
But one man could have been selected in the
State that would have done equal credit to
the appointing power, and that one, it was
understood could not accept the appoint
ment; we refer to Judge Field, of this city.
We congratulate the people and the State
upon the appointment and acceptance Of
Judge Burnett, Erprfss.

Topics Of the Day.

TIE long and hotly contested
,Scnatori il election is over. The re-
suit exhibits the folly Of the past
three years struggle, and shows that
"time and perseverance, will a com
plish all things" The two promi-
ucnt contestants in this memorable
struggle, have been elected United
States Senators from California, and
it is hoped that their election will
prove beneficial to the interests Of the
State and have the effect to harmon
izc the Democratic party in Califor-
MIA. Let those who have been disap-
pointed by defeat, remember that it
is but "a question Of time, and turn
their attention to the interests Of the
State. There is much to be accom-
plished within the four years that
must intervene prior to another cleo
ton of an u. $. Senator from this
State. Satisfied, as every Democrat
should be with the choice Of the dem
ocratic legislature, it is but right
and just that our Senators should re-
celve the support Of the party in all
their efforts to advance and protect
the interests of California. That
this will be done, and that dissen-
eions in the democratic ranks will
cease, we sincerely trust.
Since the reelection of the Hon.
VIM. M. Gwin, that gentleman has
published card in which he ac-
knowledges, frankly, his obligations
TO his ancient but honorable rival, ID.
{. Broderick, and states that the
opposition he sustained came from an
unexpected quarter, and from those
whose friendship he had believed,
strengthened as it was by personal
obligation, nothing would weaken or
sever. lie attributes the malice and
hostile energy which had nearly cost
him the endorsement of reelection,
to the Federal patronage Of the State,
and announces his determination to
gladly turn from it, and make it his
labor and ambition to deserve well of
the State, and justify the choice Of
the Legislature in honoring him a
second time rs representative of its
interests. With our congressional
delegation thus united, and disscn-
sions oblitcraed at home, we can look
forward to Mr.. Buchanan's admins
tration with confluence and hope,
under the belief that the interests
and future prosperity of California
will be fostcred and guarded with
watchful care. We congratulate the
democracy upon the termination of
this protracted struggle, and upon
the election of men whose national
democracy is unquestloncd.

The following extract is taken
fran rather lengthy rigmarole in
the vigilante True Californian, in
favor of reputation. 1t is some
what singular argument for n vigi-
lance press to make use of, and we
publish it as a curiosity. When the
vigllante press quote the constitution
to su.tain position, it seems rs sac
religious as it does to hear an infdel
attempt to sustain his doctrines by
quoting scripture. Here is the cx-
tract:
" Under the Constitution of California the
right Of the people only 20 create IA debt
which can bind them, is expressly veserpe .
along with the right Of habsds corpus and
the right Of trial by jury. aud no branch Of
the government can any more interfere with
the one than the other"
The constitution was not in the
way when the vigilance committee
refused to grant others the right of
trial by jury; it formed no barrier

The Partisan correspondent Of the Courier des
Etats Unis announces, in Ais letter OF March 18th
that Prince Ponatawski win ac4 a. arbitrator in the
dfficulsees which have arisen between Madame
Lehon and N. de MorDy relating to some money
transactions Tins this affair about which 30 much
has been said will be settled amioably. The Grand
Central affair, however, is not vet at end. Some
Of the shareholders require the twenty millions
which N. de Morny pecketed on certain terms and
conditions to be refunoed. But these shareholders
should have discussed hese conditions before sub
scrbiDe; ID is too late The same sort of specu
lstion has been made by other directors of compa-
Mes They have sold for forty millions what they
bad bought for twenty. This is the only way in
which the immense fortunes suddenly made by some
parties in few years. or even in few months, are
TO be explained.
Pereire Il Brother have it is said, made twenty
millions by such means in the Gas Company, and it
Is for that reason that the shareholders have been
SO hard upon them and also upon the Prince Se Car
may. The last mentioned person nearly tainted
when one OF the shareholders called hun a thief.
He had Intended to prosecute that shareholder SOr
libel, but the difficulty has been settled.
The trial Of the managers Of the Docks Napo'eOns
promises some new scaudalous disclosures. Nessrs
Cusln and Arthur Berry threaten that il they are
not liberated by the Court Of Appeals they will re-
veal that Of the seven or eight millions missing ose
has been given to Prince Murat, and three HUNDRED
thousand francs to Of the gentlemen Of honor o.
Princess Asthilde, who have aided in the Docks en-
teipriee.
