Alabama, was chosen President pro tenn. OF the
Senate, and Hon. J. L. Orr, Of South CarOlina,
Speaker Of the House. Mr.. Allen, of Illinois.

Union, was chosen Printer of the Senate by
strict party vote.
On the 9Th the Presidents Message was read
in the Senate. Mr.. Douglas, Immediately on
the reading of the Message opened the Kansas
ball, and in a few cautious, but significant re-
marks indicated his determination TO oppose the
admission of Kansas under the Lecompton Con-
vention. Mr.. Stewart, the Democratic Senator
from Michigan, took substantially the same view
of Kansas matters as did Douglas, and Senators
Bigler, Mason, and Davis, indicated their agree
ment with the President. On the 9th Mr. Doug
las made a set speech in opposition to the ad-
mission OF Kansas. until the whole Constitution
was submitted to direct vote of the people.
His speech was a brilliant one, and is consider
ed among the best he ever made. He was re-
piled TO by Mr. Bigler, who is supposed to rep
resent the views of the President. He announc-
ed his determination to vote for the admission
Of Kansas on the first allowable opportunity
in order to locaize the difficulty in regard to
that Territory. On the 18th the Kansas dis
cussion was continued in the Senate. Mr..
Green. OF Missouri defended the position Of the
President, and was replied to by Mr.. Douglas.
who was In favor Of ignoring both the Topeka
and LecomptOn Constitutions, and taking a
new departure on this vexed question.
In the House, Mr.. Cox, Democratic member
from Ohio, supported generally the views of
Mr. Douglas. He was replied to by Mr. Hughes
OF Indiana who deprecated the agitation of the
subject in the House as premature, and danger
Gus to the harmony Of the Democratic party.
Mr. Gwn introduced bill to provide for the
construction Of Pacific Railroad, which was
referred to select committee Of nine, of which
he was appointed chairman. All but two OF
the committee are in favor Of the road. Mr..
Broderick introduced bill to provide for the
payment to the State of California Of the "civil
fund''-being the amount collected from Gus
toms at the California ports, previous to our

ing the issue Of treasury notes to the amount
S20O00,000, bearing interest of not more than
six per cent, in the discretion of the Secretary
of the Treasury, payable in one year. 1t was

CASE OF PIUMER.-The motion for new tria
in the case of Plumer, was overruled, pre-. .forma
by Judge Sears, on Monday and Plumer was
sentenced to twelve years imprisonment. The
case will be taken to the Supreme Court. The
only point before the District Court to be deci-
ded, was as to the qualifications Of the trial ju-
rors There was, however, an exception taken
to the mode OF empanneling the grand jury,
which it is believed will be fatal to the indict-
ment. As this later question could not be pass
ed on by the District Court, Judge Searls
decided to overrule the former objections, SO
that the whole matter would 20 at once to the
Supreme Court.

about Oroville, by pretending to put them on
the track OF the murderers Of Griswold In
hopes of sharing in the rewards offered, All
Cum was freely furnished with money by his
white assistants, by promising each share Of
the reward The last aud severest stroke OF
this celestial confidence man." was to tele-
graph to John Sale of this county, telling hin
that the murderer was found, and to come and
bring money for expenses, etc. Sale went tC

burg, on the 26th ult. From personal &C.
quaintance with the deceased, we can freely add
our testimony to his many good qualities and
bis worth as an upright. honest, and high-mind-
ed man. Goldburg, having failed to give bonds
has been committed to Jail, to await the action
of the grand jury. There is no excitement or
feeling in regard to the matter in this county,
further than that strict, impartial justice shall
be done, and the friends of Mr.. Enders can rest
assured that the authorities here will do their
duty without any outside pressure.

TIE VOLUNTEERS determination Of the
War Department, not 10 raise volunteers for the
Mormon war, will rather dampen the military
ardor Of the young men in this State, who have
exhibited such sagerness to fight Brother Brig
ham" 1t is stated, however, that one or two
Of the new regiments will be enlisted in Califor-
mia; but II is not probable that even one regi-
ment can be raised here. However ready
Califsrniaus might be to serve few mouths as
volunteers, few will be found whs can be induc-
ed to enlist In the regular army.
