From FoRT YUMA-Lieut. Ives exploring
party for the river Colorado arrived at the
mouth of that river on the I'd December, ult
The delay of getting information OF his arrival
arose from some difficulty experienced by the
river steamer in running up to Fort Yuma
Mr.. Ives on the 9th Dec. was still engaged in
putting up the steamboat, and expected to start
soon for Fort Yuma, with barges in tow. The
river was very low. Mr. Writings party of the
Sonora Survey, was at work Oh the river and
country adjacent, on the Mexican side, expect
ing to complete their survey On the river and
head Of the Gulf before the middle of this month.
The Cocopa Indians, reported unfriendly last
mail sent delegation of chiefs to Fort Yuma,
processing fir endshp. and had promised to assist
the exploring parties all in their power.

Congressional Elections.

Gov. johnson, in his message, FecOmmends
that the State be divided into two Congress
ional districts, and that the year for electing
Congressmen be changed, so that they will be
elected Immediately preceding the time they
take their seats. We have always been in fa-
vor of dividing the State into Congressional
districts and have ever advocated the measure
whenever it was brought before the Legislature.
This is matter, however, aboutwhich the peo-
pie are Indifferent, and we believe they are gen.
orally satisfied that Congressmen should be ell
ected on q general ticket as at present.
Gov. johnson gives two reasons for chan
ging the time Of the Congressional election.
One is that Congressman should be elected as
short time previous to the assembling of Cen
gress as practicable. He seems to have over
looked the fact that the terms of members of
Congress commence on the 4th Of March, which
is some nine months previous to the ting they
usually take their seats. In case the change
was made az recommended, California would
not be represented should an extra session Of
Congress be called. 1t is now customary in
hehi aii bhV OtHtSsp W SiONS VI NOh-
0ress at the general election next preceding the
4th Of March, when they are eligible to their
seats, as is the care now in this State. SuppOs-
ing all the States should adopt the plan recon-
mended by the late Governor, it would then
be ou. Of the power of the President, no matter
what might happen, to call an extra session of
Congress for the greater portion of the year. as
there would be no members OF the House Of
Representatives. At the extra session. called
by President Harrison, in l841, nearly all the
Western States were unrepresented in the House
Of Representatives; this fact induced those
States to change the time OF electing their
members.
Another reason urged for the change, is, that
State elections would then be held only once in
two years, as the COngressmen would be elect
ed the same year as the Governor and other
State officers. Governor ohnson seems to have
ignored the fact that the Clerk of the Supreme
Court is elected the same year as the Congress
men, and every second Congressional election
a Superintendent of Public instruction is elect
ed The term of the latter Office is fixed by the
Constitution. and we believe the former also,
80 that annual elections cannot be avoided
without change in our organic law.

The LAuNcH OF THE LEv1ATHAE.-On the 2Sth
of Nov. the work OF launching the Leviathan
was resumed, and continued up to one o'clock
on Monday, the sOth, when the keel Of the yes
sci was within four inches Of the water, which
was gradually rising under her.
The launch was resumed at two o'clock on
the Thursday after On the power being ap-
piled. the ship moved directly, and passed over
the first foot in eleven minutes. At 2:35 she
had moved altogether 472 inches at the bow and
474 at the stern In one case she moved IL IN
ches at once, and few minutes afterward II
inches at another move. The Leviathan had
been moved fifteen feet further up to 4:30 p. M,
when operations were suspended. During the
afternoon. scaffold gallery, erected 10 land

of persons standing on it to see the launch were
precipitated to the ground: five were taken to
the hospital. apparently dead
Her total distance moved since the first at
tempt Saturday is 48 feet inches forward, and
40 feet inches aft. She has still. therefore
nearly $50 feet more to go before she will be
entirely clear of the launching ways; but it il
thought quite within the limits of probability
that she will accomplish this distance in very
short time.

The Kansas Debate In Congress.

We are indebted to Judge Douglas for copy
Of his speech on the Kansas question, delivered
In the Senate Dec. 9th. The speech is justly
regarded as one Of his most brilliant efforts.
and was listened to with brssthless attention by
crowded galley Of spectators The position
which he assumes, is, that Kansas should not
be admitted until the whole constitution franz
ed by the Lecompton Convention is submitted
to direct vote Of the people; that the people
Of Kansas had . right to be consulted nos only
On the slavery question, but upon oil other
questions affecting their local interests; that
the refusal Of the Convention to submit the
constitution to the judgment Of those who were
to live under it, was in direct conflict with the
great principle of the KansasNebraska meas
ure, and for that reason the whole matter
should be referred back to the citizens Of Kan
sas. He centended that even the slavery ques-
tion was not fairly submitted, As man was not
allowed to vote on that, except on condition
that he voted for all the ether provisions of the
Constitution, which many could not conscien-
tiously do. He pointed out several objections
TO the constitution, which would be sufficient to
induce him, we're be citizen Of Kansas, to vote
against IL; this. be remarked, was not his busi-
ness, but the people Of Kansas had right to be
consulted 10 the matter.
Mr.. Bigler. of Pennsy ylvania, answered Judge
Douglas, and contended that the slavery ques-
tien was the only real issue in Kansas, and as
the people had an opportunity to vote on that
question there was no valid reason that Kansas
should not be admitted. He urged that the peo-
pie of Kansas, had the opportunity been given
them, would have voted down the constitution,
from spirit Of factiousness, and not because
they disliked its provisions. In the course Of q
running debate which followed, between the
two Senators, Mr.. Bigler disclaimed having any
authority to speak for the President.
The position which Judge Douglas has taken
on this question, lie, in our opinion the right
one, and with bis known ability aud tact in en-
forcing his views there is a fair probability
that he will be successful in this instance, not
withstanding the President entertains different
views. The Democratic party in the north
western States are almost unanimously with
Douglas, and no doubt most of the Democratic
members from that section will vote to refer
the whole matter back to the people Of Kansas
But little idea, however, can be formed as to
the ultimate fate Of the Lecomption constitu-
tion, as few members of Congress had at last
accounts expressed any opinion on the subject

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

The COUNTY DEBT.--No action has yet been
taken by the citizens Of the county, in regard
to the disposition Of the county debt. The idea
has been suggested, and we think it very good
one, that public meeting be held at an early
day, by those most interested, and some definite
action taken in the matter. Those who have
given the financial condition of the county the
the most attention, have come to the conclusion
that the most practicable plan to dispose Of the
outstanding warrants drawn on the general
fund, is to have them funded. so that the cur
rent expenses Of the county can be placed on a
cash basis Our representatives in the Legisla-
ture will, Of course, carry out the wishes of the
citizens, and some action should be promptly
taken in the matter, in order to let them know
what course would meet the appreciation OF
those interested in the permanent welfare of the
county.

Attachment La~.

Mr.. Ferguson, Of Sacramento, has introduced
bill into the Senate to regulate writs Of at
tachment. The bill has been referred to the
Judiciary Committee, of which Mr.. Chase of
this county, is chairman. The public have long
demanded q modification of the attachment
law, and there is no doubt that Mr.. Ferguson's
bill will receive the favorable action of the Le-
gislaturc. This bill provides that attachments
shall issue, on the plaintiff making oath that
the defendant is indebted to him. upon an ex-
press or implied contract, for the direct pay
ment Of money, and that such debt was made
or is payable in this State. The affidavit shall
also allege the existence of one of the following
eight causes:
First-Where the debtor is not resident Of
this State.
Second-Wherc the debtor conceals himself
SO that the ordinary process of law cannot be
served upon him.
Third-Where the debtor has absconded or
absented himself from his usual place of abode,
SO that the ordinary process of law cannot be
served on him.
Fourth Where the debtor is about to remove
bis property or effects out Of this State, to the
injury of his creditors, or with the intent to de-
fraud. hinder or delay the same.
Fifth-Where the debtor has fraudulently
conveyed. assigned, or otherwise disposed of
his property or effects, so as to hinder or delay
his creditors. or with the intention to defraud,
hinder or delay the same.
Sxth-Where the debtor has fraudulently
concealed his property or effects, so as to him
der or delay his creditors.
Seventh-Where the debtor is about frudu-
lently to convey or assign his property or eff
fects so as to njure, hinder or delay his credi
tors
Eighth-Where the debtor is about fraudu-
lently to conceal or dispose of his property or
effects, so as to njure, hinder or delay his cred
itors.
Whenever property has been attached, the
defendant may file plea, putting in issue the
truth Of the facts alleged in the affidavit, and
the plaintiff shall be held to prove the existence
of the facts on which the attachment issued
and il the issue be found for the defendant. the
attachment shall be dismissed at the cost of the
plaintiff
The provisions Of tho bill are simple and car
be understood by common people, without th'
assistance Of lawyerstc interpret 1t.

Mexico,

Intelligence has been received from the city
of Mexico to Dec. oath. President Comonfort
has dissolved the Mexican Congress, imprisoned
several Of the leading members, aud declared
himself Dictator. The consequence is that the
whole country is in an uproar, aud another
civil war will doubtless be the result. Great
CONSERVATION prevails in the city of Mexico.
and it is doubtful whether that State will sus-
tain the Dictator His friends do not seem to
have complete control of any of the States, ex-
cept Puebla and QueretarO. He must soon fall
or long and bitter war will follow. His
friends say that a powerful conspiracy was
about to break out against him. and he saw that
he must fall unless he assumed dctatoral pow
ers; Others declare him TO be hypocrite, who
has long planned an hereditary despotism with
himself the first Of the line. A great number
Of Comonfort's friends including several of
his Cabinet officers have resigned their places
under his government, and declared against him,
Congress, before it separated, declared all hts
acts illegal and denounced him as a traitor, 1t
is believed in Mexico that Com0ntOrt has
assurances Of pecHniary aid from the United
States, in view Of the purchase of Northcrn
Mexico, aud that If he can maintain himself in
his present position until negotiations can be
completed, he will effect the sale.

TIE UTAH NEws.-The news published by US
last week, as taken from the State Journal in
regard to the position Of Col. johnson in Utah,
turns out to have been hoax. What object
the man Pearson could have had in giving such
q statement to the newspapers for publication,
is not known. Intelligence has since been re.
ceived from Utah, by way Of Los Angeles, to
Dec. 9th. Col. johnson had gone into winter
quarters al Fort Bridger which had been evac-
uated by the Mormons, after having destroyed
the buildings aud burned the grass in the neigh
borhood Of the Fort The Mormon army had
returned to Salt Lake, fifty men being left to
guard the passes Gov. Cumming had issued 6
proclamation from Fort Bridger. to the people
Of Utah, calling upon those who had collected
in armed bands to dsperse to their homes. The
proclamation was read in the Tabernacle, al
Salt Lake and voted unofficial. There is no
probability that any collision will take place
between the Mormons and the U. S. troops, be.

QrARrz PRopERTY SoLD.-The Quartz mill
and leads of the Helvetis and Lafay tie Gold
Mining Company, was sold yesterday at Sheriff S

$S,O00 This is the third time the property

at the second sale it was bid in at 500, ,000-the

amount for which the property was yesterdy

Two DAYS LATER FROM HONGKoNG.-Tho Lon
don Times publishes a correspondence from
Kongkong under date October 10th. The news
is two days later than received by the Starr
King, which arrived here December 5th:
All chance Of negotiation having been cut
off, Lord Elgin hal concerted measures with his
Excellency the naval commander-in chief for
the assault and capture of the city Of Canton
1t would appear that the Admiral has arranged
with the whole available force to move up to
Canton on the 3lst of the current month, and II

deed it is thought that the Russian Admiral
Polatine will also offer his aid The Celestial;

to induce hostlities. A Russian envoy has al

AccoMMoDArNG.-A large number Of letters
were received in the pOstoffice, on Monday from
the up country offices, for the Atlantic States,
and had the stage waited until the usual hour,
it would not have got to Sacramento in time to
connect with the boat Of Tuesday. and the let
tsrs would consequently have been detained for
two weeks longer On learning the above facts,
the stage agent, Mr.. McRobcrts, concluded to
start the stage of few hours earlier than usu-
al, in order that correspondents might not be
disappointed and the mail was accordingly
made up and dispatched at 10 O'Clock Monday
night. "Curly BILL" the driver, is especially
deserving of praise, as he denied himself his
usual sleep in order to accommodate the pub
lie.

"a rogue ne'er felt the halter draw,
with GOOD oDinion af tho law

Mr.. Lee, member Of the Assembly frCm Ell
Dorado, has introduced bill into the Assem-
bly,, to suppress mobs, Instructions &c. The
design of the bill is to put stop to the scenes
Of mob violence which are almos! daily being
enacted in some parts of the State, and for that
purpose contains some very stringent provis
ions. The Union, alta, and other papers, which
are in the habit of praising the acts of mobt
when it pays, don't like the provisions of the
bill at oil. The past course of the papers that
now oppose the bill is a sufficient reason why il
should become law. Laws are designed to
protect honest men, not those who are coutin.
ually setting them at defiance.
