A Financiering Dodge.

-Four men presented themselves at the office
of the Alta ExpIess Co, at Nevada, about ten
days ago, deposited their blankets for trans
portation to Marysville, representing the
same and coutents would be worth SIS, paid
the charge thereon and footed it to Marysvie
The blankets were left at way station, and
not being received after the lapse of several
days, the agency at Marysville was notified
by the house in this city, to pay the demand
The men presented themselves and claimed
the SIS, which was accordingly rendered
them. They then declined receiving it, trust
ing to await the return of the property. The
blankets came to hand pres. .ntly, and wher
opened, nervously, by the anxious expectants
were found to conceal the respectable sum o.
$4,000 in gold dust The parties, undoubt
edly by their delay in Marysville, were sub
jected to greater expense than would have
been incurred had they taken passage on
some legitimate line of conveyance, or trans
mitted their dust through express. Besides
had the property never been recovered, they
would only have had the small satisfaction O.
receiving $75 theretore-a considerable dis
count on $4,000.

SINNERS, LOOK OuT!-D. Leibee, ofSonora,
has new doctrine, (religious) which he de-
sires to promulgate, and has heretofore offer
ed, if the citizens of that town would furnish
a room, maps, ETC., that he would give them
the benefit of bis new found truths (!); but
like hardened sinners they have been indiffer-
ent to Mr.. Leibee and his doctrines Deter
mined not to let them remain in ignorance
of the "new light" he is going to lecture
them whether they will or no. lie says:
81 am satisfied if the people of Sonora
had the least idea of what will take place on
the earth in the next few years, there would
not be a house in the city of Sonora half
large enough to hold the people who would
wish to hear. l therefore call upon you to
prepare to meet your God For, as sure as
there is God, he will meet you before the
fourth of March, '6l, and ask a settlement
of accounts. BE careful that he don't come
upon you as thief in the night am well
aware of the position | occupy in the minds
of the people of this city. Many, no doubt,

The Capitol Again in Motion.

Some of the members of the Legislature
seem to be earnest in their intention to
again put the Capitol on wheels. This time
the village of Oakland is to be the favored
s,ot A committee have visited the town
and ascertained it to be within eight miles
of San Francisco, to possess fine climate,
dry soil, stone quafries in the neighborhood,
and convenient to the State Prison. These
are recommendations for Oakland, but the
same can be said Of any town in the Sacra-
mento Valley, with the exception that the
State Prison is not equally as convenient to
all Of them. We are not aware that near
proximity of that institution to the capital
is necessity, however
If members will take time to reflect upon
the inconvenience, expense, and dissatisfac-
ton experienced by the removals Of former
years, they will scarcely do so foolish thing
as to change from Sacramento. Legislators,
who permit any feeling of petty spite against
the citizens of that city, prompt them to vote
for removal, are unworthy of the trusts
confded to them by the people. Sacramento
is the best locality in the State, for the seat
of government, and there the great mass of
the people wish it to remain. The men,
bers from the middle and upper portion of
the State, who will vote for change will be
apt to hear report from their constituents
that will be like the "sound of many waters"

The LAW OF DIvoRcE.-The question OF

has created considerable sensation, inasmuch
as it comes in conflict with the authority and
