STATE PRISON MATTERs.-From message OF
the Governor to the Legislature, on the affairs
Of the State Prison, we learn that the whole
number Of convcts in prison on the first of
March was 526; the number on the first of April
$685. showing an increase of seven during the
month. During that period twenty-faur were
received at the prison, ten were discharged by
expiration of their term, two pardoned, three
whose term had expired were restored to citi-
zenshp one was transferred to the lunatic asy-
lum, and one died. Sixteen attempted to escape
but none succeeded The officers and guard
have been faithful in the discharge Of their
duty, and the Governor has only found 1t ne
cessary to dismiss one of the employees. The
ordinary expenditures for the month of March
was $5,59S, and $1,S75 was expended for re-
pairing the prison and constructing partition
walls The estimated worth of the labor per-
formed by the prisoners during the month is
1856, aud the estimated expenditures for the
month of April $3.50. To work the convicts
proftably during the year. steps should be taken
to procure more land, as the soil adapted to the
manufacture of brick will soon be exhausted,
and the prisoners cannot be usefully employed
at San Quentin at any other labor. An appro-
priation Of $l5, 900 is asked to pay the expenses
Of the institution for the remainder of the fiscal
year, ending on the first Of next July, and s7e,-
600 for the next fiscal year. II the Legislature
determine to erect another prissn at San Quen-
tin, an additional appropriation Of $4,000 will
DO required. A large amount Of this appropra-
tion, say $25, 900, will be required to purchase
land for the brick kilns II the institution is
properly conducted the Governor thinks that
very large proportion Of the appropriation can
be returned to the Trsrsury before the clese Of
the year.

SLUICE RoBBING-PROBABLEM MURDER.--It seems
that the Indians about Orleans and Moore's
Flats have latterly been in the habit of robbing
the sluice boxes of the miners in that section
Four were arrested on Tuesday the 9th inst
who had some two hundred and fifty dollars in
their possession, which was taken from them
A rope was put round the neck of one of them
in order to frighten him into confession as to
how they had disposed Of the stolen money, but
it was net possible to get any thing out of him.
They were afterwards taken in charge by the
officers, examined and committed on q charge
of grand larceny. Among those arrested was
boy named Pete Crimes who stated to the
officers that one of the others, who goes by the
name of Morgan Dock, had, some four or five
weeks ago, murdered and robbed white man,
about mile above Hoits Crossing of the Yu-
ba, and that the body was left near the bank of
the river. Mr.. H. A. Kelly took the boy to the
place, who pointed out the spot where the body
was left, but nothing was discovered to indicate
that a murder had been committed. 1t is prob
able that the body was floated off by the late
high water Mr.. Kelly then brought the boy to
Nevada and had him committed to Jail on
Thursday. Constable Fay took charge of the
other three Indians, had them hand-cuffed and
put them in cellar at Orleans Flat, to keep
them over night, with the intention of bringing
them to Nevada on Thursday. They managed
however, during the night to make their escape,
aud have not since been heard from.

Thar COMMITTEES In order TO usurp power
aud get as many of their party into Office as pos
sibe, the lorotoco members OF tho legislature
have made great efforts to take the appointing
mower out OF the hands OF the Governor and give
it to a loco(oco committee. The bill, providing
for this outrage, passed the Senate, aud was only
defeated in the House by the singular phrnomc-
nou of an honest locofoco, whose conscience for
once got tLe mastery overhis greed for the spois
Of Office. The correspondent of the Cleveland
Hsrald thus states tho case:
"Thc Bill was then read a third time; the
leader (Mr. Andrews had ordered a call OF the
House, and the right number being in, it was
lust about to pass, when Mr.. Mott arose and
said he would not vote ior the Bill. Tie regret
led to dissent from his party; but this was an
ii u.democrOlic aud impoliuc, lie solemnly aud
earnestly protested against this innovation,
clearly Unconstitutional and tending most di-
rectly to the corruption OF the Judiciary. AL
appointments, in his opinion, belonged to the
Executive and he woGld again protest against
this abuse of the Judicial functions and the ex
ercise ot authority by the Speaker OF power
which, as a member of the House, he would thus
confer upon himself This protest fell rpon the
majority like a tnunGvrbolt, and stopped the ma
chine dead still, anu the Bill was referred to Sc
lret committee of one.
