RoBBERIEs IN MARYsvTLLE.-On Sunday night
as we learn from the Marysvils Express, the
dwelling house of Captain Wells was entered,
during the absence of the Captain and his lady
at church, and robbed of S4OO worth of jcwelry
and $50 in money. The lock Of every drawer
and trunk in the house was broken open, and
everything gave evidence OF the work having
been done by the most accomplished burglars.
On the same night, robbery was committed at
EckePs Garden. The burglars entered the
house, stole gold watch, took ring from the
finger of one of the seepers, and also made of
with some money! small amount-which they
cut out of the pockets of another. They must
have used choroform. Some scoundrel also
robbed Mr.. Hays, carpenter, residing in the
First Ward, of portion of his tools. on the
same night.

Tn. supreme .Iudr..hip.

The opinion has very generally obtained that
the Democratic State Central Committee design
making nomination for Judge Of the Supreme
Court, for the purpose Of avoiding the calling
together Convention Of the party. We are
certain that such course will be universally
condemened by the masses of the party and
that any gentleman nominated in that way will
be pretty certain TO be defeated before the peo-
pie. According to party usage, Central Com
mittees have no power to make nominations
except in cases where vacancy occurs by rea
son of death or resignation Of candidates. and
when there is not time previous to the election
to call a Convention. We have conversed with
quite a number of Democrats in regard to this
matter, and find they are generally opposed to
having any Convention this summer. and in this
opinion we are inclined to acquiesce.
In an article upon this subject, the Sacramen-
to Mercury, after stating the rumor that the
Central Committee designed making nomna-
ton for Supreme Judge, Gays:
Now we would very respectfully suggest to
the gentlemen composing the committee, il it
never occurred to them before, that they do not
possess any such power, and that the party will
not be bond to support their nomination any
more than that Of any other set Of gentlemen Of
the State. We do not know who is the origina-
tor Of this wise scheme, nor for whose particular
benefit it is gotten up, but, one thing we do know,
and, that is, that it will not work, and that it
will damn any man who has anything to do with
it. We have no hesitation in saying that. We
are opposed to all such inrOads on the party
and that we should oppose any gentleman who
would lend himself to any such scheme. We are
frank to say that we are inclined to the opinion,
that there is no necessity for making a nonlina-
ton at all. The Office is not political one,
and the people ought to be left free and un-
trammeled to select gentleman for that posi-
tion whose qualifications alone recommend him
to il. But If we must have q nomination, we
want convention to do it in the old fashioned
way and we won't stand anything else. The
old road is the best, and we are opposed to this
system of scheming and planning, so prevalent
in California, for the purpose Of serving particu
lar individuals. We have no favorite for the
position, and only desire that good man may
be elected, but we want to see fair play and are
determined that no man or set Of men, no mat
ter il they hold high positions, shall dictate or
rule the party if we can helpit.

Chinese aud Negro Exclusion Bills.

The bill to exclude Chinese from the State
passed the Senate last Thursday. Several
amendments were offered to the bill, bu. they
were promptly voted down. tits admitted that
the bill might have been improved, but its
friends were fearful should it be sent back 10
the Assembly that the amendments would not
be concurred in, which would have inflicted
another years Chinese immigration upon u.s.
The bill to exclude negroes was taken up on
Friday. But little debate was had on the bill,
and it was finally passeG by vote of 81 to 8,
with the following added as an additional Sec
ton
Nothing in the act provided shall prevent
the immigration to the State of any member Of
the family of any negro or mulattO who may he
resident of this State at the date Of the pas
sage of this act nor OF the arrival in this State of
any person who may be the owner Of any real
or personal estate at the date of the passage of
this act. nor Of any person who may oe a resi-
dent of this State, and temporarily absent
therefrom, at the date Of the passage of this act"
With this amendment the bill was returned
to the Assembly, and was probably passed by
that body on Monday.

MURDER IN SANTA CLARA CoUETY.-Mr. J. La
cey, the keeper of an inn on the San Jose road
near Francisquito creek, was murdered last
Thursday morning. He came home about eight
o'clock Wednesday night, aud went to bed
about nine. He and his wife, though on good
terms, had been in the habit of sleeping in diff
ferent rooms, and so they slept that night
About one O'Clock in the morning. she went
and awakened hired man who slept in the
kitchen, and told him her husband was shot
The man went and found that Lacey had beer
shot dead in his bed, bullet having entered
his right eye and passed into his brain. Hi:
face was burnt with powder, and it is supposed
the murderer extended his arm through the
window. A Coroner's inquest was held, but nc
certain clue obtained as to the murderer. Mrs
Lacey and the hired man pretend to have no
knowledge Of the murder, only that the man
was awakened about one o'clock, by Mrs. La
cey, who stated that she heard the report of q
pistol and, upon going to the room, they
found Lacey murdered. tits believed the mur-
der was committed BY some Of the inmates Of
the house. and the hired man and boarder
have been arrested.

A CHINESE TOwN PRoJEcrED-The Mariposa
Gazette says that il is the intention of the Chi
nesc population in its county to build perma-
nent town near the garden Of Allison Il Powell,
about two miles from the town Of Mariposa.-
Lots have been already slaked off, and other
preparations made for founding a Celestial
city, where they can sit under their own can
vass and smoke opium to their hearts content,
without being interfered with By "outsde bar
barians." Judging from the crowd already i'll
and near Mariposa town, and the numbers daily
arriving, it may become place of note. 1t is
estimated that the OrieEtals already in the
county, outnumber the white population about
two to one. To supply this people with amuse-
ments, Chinese theatrical troupe has taken up
its quarters in the locality. The company
number some twenty-five actors. one actress and
full quota of supes. Their engagement is said
TO be for the "season."
