USELESS LABoR.-A fellow named George
Lowering was sentenced some time age to serve
a year in the Auburn Jail, fer having in his pos
session burglarious tools. A few days since
says the Herald, the jailor ascertained that Low
ering had, by some means, procured small
crowbar and saw, and had been so far accom-
modating as to saw the shackles from one OF
the prisoners who is awaiting trial under an
indictment for murder. For his ingenuity and
industry Lowering, who was before unshackled.
has been put in irons, and closely confined to
his cell where wholesome restraint, in future,
will be exercised upon his free disposition to
work.

MURDER NEAR SAoRAMESTo.-Hen A. Bush,
whs resided abeut tive miles above Sacramento
city, was murdered last Friday morning, by a
man named John Keller. The two men we're
partners in ranch, and there had been trouble
between them for some time. Keller gave him
self up to the authorities Of Sacramento, and
states that be killed Bush in self defense, by
knocking him in the head with an iron poker,
as the latter was about to shoot him. No one
was present when the deed was committed, but
Keller's wife and brother were in another room
Of the house. Keller says that Bush was en-
deavoring to induce bis wife TO leave him. An
inquest was held by the Coroner, and the evil
dence of Keller's wife and brother coroberate
his statement that the act was committed in self
defense. The appearance of things in the room,
however, indicate pretty conclusively that the
man was murdered while sleeping in bis bed,
and the jury brought ia q verdict of "wilful
murder" Keller's brother was Immediately
taken into custody. Their examination was
commenced before q Justice of the Peace in
Sacramento. last Saturday, a few witnesses
wefs examined, and the case was postponed
until yesterday.

RoBBERIEs.-The Washington Hotel ON Mil
street, was robbed on Tuesday night Of last
week. One of the dodgers lost $40 in coin and
q breast pin worth $40. Another lost q ten
dollar gold piece and some small change. The
money and valuables were taken from their
clothing in their rooms. The thief is supposed
to have been fellow who came along aud So
licited free lodgings, representing himself as
out of money. Mr.. Blackford gave him bed
He probably got up in the night, committed
the robbery, and took the punder outside, and
concealed it, as the outer door to which he
might easily had access was unlocked.
The Aurora House was broken into on Thurs
day night last, and every room in the house not
locked, was entered. The robber stole Colts

THE BLAcK-MAIL ISvEsTIGATIoN.-Wen noticed
last week that man named Weed, reporter
for the S. F. Times, had been expelled from the
reporters seat, by vote Of the Assembly for
having made charges against DR.. Ormsby of an
attempt to levy black-mail upon the auctioneers
Of San Francisco, and that Committee had
been appointed to Investigate the charges. The
committee reported that not scintilla of evi-
dence was found derogatory to the integrity of
DR.. Ormsby. or any member Of the special COM
mittee appointed to visit San Francisco to as
certain the amount due the State of the unpaid
duties of The auetioneers. A motion was made
that the report and evidence be printed to
this motion DR.. Ormsby himself objected, and
it was voted down. As might be expected, the
opposition Of Or. Ormsby to having the evil
denee printed, tended only to fasten suspicion
upon him, and motion was subsequently car
ried to furnish the evidence to the editor of the
State Journal for publication. The evidence
taken before the committee was published in
Mondays Journal. 1t seems from this evidence
that DR.. Ormsby, the chairman of the Assembly
committee, was on very intimate terms with
one Raphael Schoyer, who furnished the COM
mittes with Information in regard to the amount
due from the auctioneers to the State. Several
of the auotioneers testified that Schoyer offered
to write out the report. subject to their sp-
proval, provided they would pay him $4,000.
The auctioneers, however, refused to give
dollar, and the result was that two reports were
made by the committee, one signed by DR..
Ormsby, which was particularly bitter against
the auctioneers, and the other signed by Messrs.
Hill, of Nevada, and J. W. Cherry, the other
members. There is 40 direct evidence to i'm
plicate DR.. Ormsby in the attempt to levy black
mail but from the offer of Schoyer, and the
known intimacy existing between him and
Ormsby, the auetionCers certainly had good
reason to believe that the latter was ready to
make favorable report provided a sufficient
inducement was held out DR.. Ormsby may be
innocent of the charge made against him, but
he certainly had the misfortune to get into bad
company.

The CoNsEoUENcES.-Th The Washington ID. CO.
States, has been permitted to examine private
letter from distinguished Democrat in Kansas
to Member of Congress from Pennsylvania.
The letter states that the Lecompton Constitu-
tion was conceived in fraud, and nurtured and
matured in iniquty; and that the United States
Army, multiplied by ten, cannot put it in ope-
ration in Kansas. The writer says he has al
ways been democrat, and through all the
troubles in Kansas has admonished the people
to submit to the laws and seek their remedy at
the ballot box; that things seem quiet now, but
that it is the calm that precedes the mighty
storm that the Territory. at present, is but a
slumbering volcano. which will burst forth the
moment Congress adopts the Constitution.

ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE FROM THE STATE PRrsoN.-

ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE FROM THE STATE PRIsoN.-
On Tuesday, March 25th, sixteen Convicts,
headed by the notorious Orlinski, made an un-
successful attempt to escape from the State
Prison. They were at work in front of the
prison, and made some excuse to go down to
the water side where small boat was lying.
some three hundred yards from the shore. On
arriving at the beach, they waded out to the
boat, which fortunately was aground, the tide
being cut. The alarm was instantly given by
. convict who was acting as overseer, and a
portion of The guard, armed with rifles and pis-
tolls started in pursuit, while another portion
ran for the cannon, which was not far off, A
number Of shots were fired with small arms, one
Of which took effect in the hand of Francisco
Salio, convict. Before the prisoners were
able to get the boat of. the cannon was got
round aud pointed towards them, on seeing
which, they threw up their hands and surren-
dered. At the time of the outbreak, Tom
Lynch, convict. was heavily ironed, but he
had concealed hammer and chisel on the
beach, with which he succeeded in relieving
himself Of his irons. Lynch is represented as .
desperate fellow and this is his third attempt to
escape, which accounts for his being kept in
irons. The attempt was headed by Orlinsk
aud Lynch, aud probably would have beeR sue
cessful had the boat not been aground.

w,,r ~ Exclude NeRrocs.

| A bill TO prohibit free negroes and mulattoel
from immigratIng to, and residing 10 this State
was enerossed in the Assembly last Friday, and
perhaps has before this passed that body. By
the provisions of this bill, all blacks and mulat-
toes who have acquired or may acquire resi-
dence in this State between September 9th 1850,
and June LIST, 1858, are required to register
their names with the recorder Of their respect
| i've counties, who is to give them certificate
to that effect, for which he is 10 receive fifty
cents and those persons Of that color found in
the State without such certificate, after the first
of next June, shall be dned not less than $1OO
nor more than $1,000, or be imprisoned until
the tine is paid at the rate Of five dollars day
Any person who employs q negro or mulatto
who has not been registered, or who arrived in
the State after the first Of June, 1858, shall be
6ned not less than $50 ner more than $780,
The act does not apply to negroes aud mulat-
toes who were in the State prior to September
9th, 1850, and those driven here by shipwreck,
etc., are also excluded, but the latter must leave
as soon as possible. Persons are also prohibit
ed frsm bringing negroes into the State, for the
purpose Of freeing them from slavery, under
severe penalties.
During the discussion Of the bill in the AS
Eembly, an amendment was proposed by Mr..
Stafford to include the Chinese in its provisions
placing them in the same position as negroes.
But the amendment was rejected by vote of
46 to "a. Should the bill pass the Senate, we
hope similar amendment will be inserted
Every reason which can be given for excluding
negroes from the State will apply to the Chi
nsso; and there are many reasons for exclu-
ding Chinese that will not apply to negroes.
There are very few negroes in the State. in
proportion to the population, and it is not pro-
bable that the number will increase in faster
ratio than that Of the whites, even should there
be no law to prohibit their immigration we
have never thus far heard any complaint by the
people that their presence among US was trou-
blesome, aud white men find it very convenient
to employ them in menial services. The Chi
nsse are regarded by everybody as a nuisance.
In some localities they already outnumber the
whites, and it is time their immigration to our
State is stopped They come here merely to
dig for gold, and whatever they take from the
soil is carried Immediately to China where it
remains. If the Legislature has the right to
exclude negroes from the State, they certainly
have the right to exclude the Chinese. OF the
two races the latter are much more objectiona-
BILE. and the protection of the whites requires
that some check should be placed upon the in
hux Of Asiatics.

SUNK AT SEA.-The Mexican brig Cornelia,
bound from Mazatlan to San Francisco, on the
night of Feb. 10th, sprung leak, and sunk in
lat. 800. long. 1920. Her cargo consisted OF
salt, lumber and $4,000 in silver, which was a
total loss. The Los Angeles correspondent of
the AAa gives the following particulars of the
disaster:
Her captain was awakened at night by the
watch. with the cry-"The brig is sinking, SIR"
He jumped aft and found that the copper
sheathing had been knocked of, and that a
whole seam was open, through which the briny
foods poured with such force that in half an
hour the brig made eighteen inches, in spite of
all their efforts. When he found she must sink,
he transferred his papers, some provisions, and
sail to the ships boat, and steered northeast
for the nearest land, which they reached in four
days md half, at San Quentin. having sailed
in their open boat $40 miles, At San Quentin,
which is 450 miles below San Diego. the captain
exchanged his boat for the use of three poor
animals that had been kept for packing salt,
and with them pushed on for white settlements.
He was nine days reaching San Diego. There
was English insurance on the vessel and silver.

The salt was sold to arrive in San Francisco.
This, with the lumber, will be total loss.

A BLOODY AFFRAY occurred in San Francisco
last Friday night. ]. w. Walsh, editor of the
Sunday Varieties, attempted to shoot mat
named McQuade, but missed his aim. A fgh
then ensued, in which Walsh and friend, tool
one side, and McQuade and man named Nc
Cam took the other. Walsh's companion wal
soon placed hors du combat, when McCann and
MeQuade united upon Walsh. They succeeded
in getting possession of Walsh's pistol and beat
him over the head aud face with it. Walsh and
his friend came to the police station covered
with blood and wounds. His face and hands
were frightfuly Iacerated. The others were
brought in by the police. McCann's head was
beaten to jelly. McQuade also received some
severe cuts on the head and his hands were
badly cut. Walsh, however, it seems from all
accounts, got the worst Of the fight, having the
odds against him.

INDIAN RETRIBUTIoN.-About a month since,
says the Placervile Lader, we reported the trial
of two men before the Court OF Sessions. who
were arraigned for stealing -four from Mr..
Weatherwax. at FL Dorado City. The defend
ants asserted that they had purchased the -four
from the Indians. After examination, the men
were discharged, and everybody supposed that
the Indians were the guilty parties. One day
last week. one of these same men was found
hanging by the neck to a tree in Hungry Hol
low. and from appearances had been in that
condition for week or more. The supposition
il, that he was hung by the Indians in revenge
for charge of theft which he had made against

detection difficult, except by weighing or par

coin is not new, and money debased in this way
has been circulating for long time. As it is,
