News of the State.

Juan Bernal, has been convicted of rape,
at San Jose, and sentenced to twenty years
imprisonment in the Pententiary.
A Mexican lady, aged 81 years, and one
of the earliest settlers of California, died at
San Jose on the 18th ut. Her descendants
number about 200.
Mr.. Buchanan, formerly Sheriff of Ell Do
RADIO county, died last week in the insane
asylum at Stockton.
SUSPENSION FLUME.-An aqueduct, 1000
feet long, to be suspended on wire, is to be
built at Poverty Bar, in Calaveras county.
A case of varioloid has occurred at the
County hospital at San Jose, giving rise to a
report that the small pox had made its ap-
pearance in that vicinity.
The Age and Watch Dog, Sacramento
newspapers, have been suspended.
EscApED.-Pete Riley, who was in the GUS
tody Of the City Marshal of Stockton, for
attempting to shoot Mr.. J. d. Burdck,
made his escape late Thursday night or early
Friday morning. The Argus says he is
probably secreted by some of his friends near
that city, as he could not have travelled very
fast with the severe wound he had received.
The Shasta Courier says that the wagon
road from that place to Weavervle has
been so far completed, that several gentle
men have passed over it in buggies, without
difficulty. The enterprise is really deserving
of praise.
MILITARY THEATER.-The soldiers at the
San Diego Mission are fitting up theater
and gymnasium.

Atlantic News.

The news by the Stephens is not import
ant in its character. The Kansas question
has made but little progress in Congress, up
to the departure Of the steamer, but had Of
fered members ample scope for discussion.
Mr.. Green had giving notice in the Senate
Of the introduction Of bill to admit Mime
sofa and Kansas at the same time Mr.. Pugh
gave notice that he should offer an amend
ment to Mr. Green's bill to the effect that
the people may alter or abolish their form
Of government in such manner as they may
think proper, so that it be republican and in
accordance with the Constitution Of the Uni
ted States.
The majority of the special committee,
to whom the Lecompton Constitution had
to report in favor of the admission of Kan
sas under it. Minority reports against the
admission, would also be made.
The bill in the Senate, for an increase of
the Army failed to pass A message from
the President, was expected, urging the pas
sage of bill for the calling out of volunteers
for the Mormon campaign, and to suppress
Indian hostiities on the the frontiers of Tex
as. No action had been taken upon tie Pa
ci6c Railroad bill. The Democratic State
Conventions Of Pennsylvania and Connecti-
cut had passed resolutions sustaining the
policy of the Administration upon the admis-
sion of Kansas.
At mass State Convention of Democrats
in Indiana, the course of Mr.. Douglas was
approved, and resolutions adopted recon-
mending mass Convention of Democrats,
opposed to the Lecompton Constitution, to
be held at an early day at Chicago.
The Territorial Legislature of Kansas had
adjourned after having consumed most of its
time in special legislation-gr granting bank
charters, and extensive privileges to other
corporations. Gov. Denver had used the
veto power in number of instances Many
pro-slavery men had left the Territory in con-
sequence of threats Of assassination. Sew
eral outrages had been committed upon the
persons and property Of pro.slavery men.
The acts were charged as the work of an Or
ganzation believed to be similar to the in
famous DANTE band of the Mormons. Kan
sas was free Of political excitement, at the
latest dates.
In New York, California per cent. State
bonds, had gone up TO 50 2 cents; their
tendency was to higher figures. This favor
able change is attributable to the vote of the
gallant Democracy of California at the last
general election in favor of paying the State
debt The advance in State bonds from
that time until the present has been from
46 to 80 per cent.

The SUFFER- TIrLE.-Private letters receiv-
from Washington, to day, have given much
encouragement to holders under the Sutter
title, and have, consequently depressed the
settlers on the grant referred to. 1t is
stated that the documents taken to the capt.
tai by ex-Mayor Reding would have been con-
elusive against the grant if they had been in
troduced in the United States District Court
at San Francisco, but that no new evidence
will be admitted before the Supreme Court
at Washington. The consequence is, that
they are at this time of no effect. The evi
dence of these letter writer's may not be
conclusive, but such are the statements which
they contain. Evening Visitor april 1st

Another State Prison Bid

Mr.. II. II. Leonard wants a State Prison
contract, and has submitted to the Senate a
proposition offering to take the prisoners for
term of ten years-he permitted the ex-
elusive use Of their labor in the Prison, or
at any distance not exceeding $50 miles from
it, The State to feed and clothe all the pris.
oners and furnish sufficient guards for all
those kept in the prison. The State also to
pass to Mr. Leonard all the lands, tools teams,
ETC., about the prison. In consideration of
these terms he agrees to build all the prison
buildings requisite to hold the convicts for
the next ten years; also State Capitol, to be
completed i'll five years. We do not know
how much favor this proposition viii receive
from the Legislature, but do hope it will be
rejected. The State has had full and am
plo trial of the lessee system, with all its en-
ormites. We do not want to see an oppor-
tunity given for the repetition of similar
wrong and outrage. AS the inutility of that
system has been practically demonstrated, let
it now be shown to what extent economy,
honestly, and humanity can obtain under the
direct management of the State. 1t cannot
be worse than under the Estell CONTRACT
it should be incomparably better.
