The State of Oregon

Although the bill to admit Oregon as a
State failed to pass Congress at its last ses
sion owing to the opposition or neglect o.
the House of Representatives, the people Of
that Territory have changed their condition
of pupilage and adopted State organization
Their Constitution was adopted by large
majority, and at the late election the Dem
ocrstic State and Congressional ticket was
triumphantly elected. On the 9th inst, the
first State Legislature convened, and Whit
taker the Governor elect, duly inaugnrated
Subsequently, Gen. Lane, the present Dele
gate to Congress- and Delazon Smith, were
elected u. S. Senators. Oregon will doubt
less be admitted early in the next session o.
Congress, and her representatives admitted
with but little delay.

RoBBERY-A bold robbery was commit
ted at the residence of P. w. Thomas, ESQ,
on Tuesday evening, by some rascal or ras-
Gals who have so far escaped detection. The
house was entered about dusk, and clothing
and valuables belonging to the wife Of DR.. S.
P. Thomas, worth some $4OO or $500 were
stolen. A trunk of clothing belonging to
tho daughter of DR.. Thomas was also taken
out of the house and carried into the garden,
but was left without anything being extrac-
ted. On Wednesday night the house was
again entered, and a watch and several other
articles were stolen, tina: were found next
day secreted in wood pile. Of the proper
ty first stolen none has been discovered.
These repeated outrages leave no room to
doubt that expert thieves have commenced
their operations in the place, who should, il
possible be ferreted out. AS they seem to
labor under a hallucination regarding the
rights of property, dose Of powder and
lead, properly prescribed, might bring them
to a different way of thinking.

In Favor of the Railroad.

| The survey Of the Auburn Branch Railroad
is eliciting much interest in Placer Nevada
and Ell Dorado counties, the people of which
will derive an incalculable benefit from the
enterprise WHICH will 50 speedily develop the
great resources OF these largo and wealthy
counties, and add greatly to their population
and capital. The people of Nevada feel that
they have an equal interest with Placer in the
matter, and will doubtless cooperate with
US in forwarding this great work. As an ev-
idence of what Nevada county can do in the
way of furnishing business for Railroad
the Nevada Journal says:
Not only would Sacramento rejoice, but
Nevada also, in the construction Of branch
railroad to this region. To say nothing of
the development of resources apd consequent
Increase Of passengers and freights, the trav-
ell and business of line Of road to this place
would be sufficient now to pay well for its
construction. In the item of stage fare alone,
it is susceptible of demonstration that Nevada
county pays annually not less than $24O, 900,
Hundreds upon hundreds forego visiting the
cities below because of the tetiousness, not
to mention the hot sun and dust to be en-
dured, on stage ride, who would trsval
literally in the cars In lumber, this county
could supply the State The produce and
merchandise coming from Sacramento and
MarysviIle into this county is enormous. The
amount of money paid for freight by this
county is roughly estimated at quarter of
a million of dollars annually Taking pas
sengers and freights up and down together,
and at fair estimate the amount annually
paid will not fall less than $6OO,OCQ.

Of May, 1858, the following resolutions were
adopted:
Resolued, That the next Democratic State Con-

for every fraction OF one hundred or more votes
east for such Democratic candidate.
Resolued, by the Central Committee, That it is
recommended that the Democracy in the different
counties meet ON the 29th day Of July next, for
the purpose Of efecting delegates to the State

The Democracy of the State of California are
hereby notified that State Convention will be

The District Judgeship.

The Democracy of Ell Dorado, at their late
Convention, instructed their delegation to the
State Convention to meet in Judicial District
Convention with Placer and Yolo, and 60 for
Thomas Hewes, for District Judge, first, last,
and all the time That this determination to
force their man, having majority Of the
district representation, whether or no upon
the Democracy Of Placer and Yolo, does not
meet the approval of all the Democrats of
that county, the following fully explains. As
FL Dorado does not seem to recognize the
other counties as having claims or rights in
the nomination Of a Judge, it is useless for a
Convention to be held. As the case now
stands Placer county certainly will not 90

The CATHOLIC CHURCH ON DRUNKENNESS
Bishop Bayley, the Catholic Bishop of New
Jersey, has issued manifesto, bringing tss
machinery of the Church to bear against the
vice OF drunkenness. His letter on the snb'
ject has been read in all the churches. in
which he calls attention to two classes-tba
drunkards themselves and the dealers in IA.
orr. Leaving to the pastors the choice II
the particular means to be used, he suggests
that each should keep list of drunkards and
liquor dealers in his church. He SAYS:
u am determined to make use of the most
severe measures against all who are addicted
to this scandalcus and destructive vice, and
it they continue in the practice OF it, thew
must do, it as outcasts from the Catholic
Church who have no right to the name
OF Catholic while they live, nor to Christian
burial when they die"

co gives it as his legal opinion to some of
the merchants of that city, that the law pass
ed by the last Legislature, prohibiting the
immigration Of Chinese to this State, is in
contravention of the Constitution of the
United States, and is therefore null and void.
The question has not yet been brought be-
fore the Supreme Court, and until that tri-
bunal decides against the constitutionality
of the act, its provisions will probably be
carried out to the letter, very much to the
qualification of the people of California.

THE RAILROAD SURvEy.-The Engineers
on the Auburn Railroad Survey expect to
complete their work this week. The most
unfavorable part of the line has been passed
over, and they are now in the vicinity of
the Half Way House, (he junction.) For
some miles out of Auburn the grades are
found to be steep, but not sufficiently so to
interfere with the locomotive making good
Railroad time. The country over which the
survey passes is very favorable for the con-
struction of road-most of the work would
be light side-cutting. The thorough cuts
and fills would be few and light. We expect
TO give the Chief Engineers Report Of this
survey at an early day.
