AusTRALIA.-By the arrival at San Francisco,
of the bark Glimpse, from Melbourne, we have
intelligence from Australia to December 3lst,
one month later than previous adyices.
A party Of twenty-s persons, escaped from
the Mormon settlements in Utah, had arrived at
Melbourne. They say that one-half Of the pop
ulation of Salt Lake will leave the place If the
U. s. Government will send military force
sufficient to protect them from the punishment
inflicted upon apostates.
The inauguration Of water works to supply
the city of Melbourne, was to be celebrated on
the 3lst ult., and there was TO be monster
meeting for the purpose of adopting measures to
secure registration Of rates, preparatory to the
early dissolution of Parliament.
The captain of the Chinese emigrant ship
Philip Long, was fined 968 for carrying an ex-
cess Of passengers.
A gang of forgers who had committed ex-
tensive frauds upon the Australia banks, had
been arrested.
Extensive and destructive bush fires had oc-
Cured in the nelghborhoOd of Ararat. Several
small villages of tents were destroyed, and il
was reported that several lives had been lost
Ararat was at one time completely surrounded
by fire. The inhabitants suffered greatly from
the heat of the flames.

ms-The Journal of Friday saws:

"The Democrat reminds the editor of the Tele-
graph of q sham bill of sale of the Office of the
latter to which the Democrat man was party"
The above statement is false We never re-
minded the editor of the Telegraph. or any body
else, of sham bill of sale of that office, nor did
we ever hold such an instrument The trans.
action alluded to, so far as we were concerned,
or had any knowledge of, was plain business
matter, which no one could have any object in
concealing from the public. We never yet en-
gagged in any business transaction OF which we
had any reason to be ashamed Men who are
sternally conjuring up fraud in the acts and
thoughts Of others, will bear watching them
selves

The NEVADA DELEGATIoy.-Two Of the Dem
ocratic members of the Assembly from this
county, Messrs Caldwell and Hill, voted against
the Kansas resolutions which passed that body
on Thursday. Messrs. Warfeld and Young vo-
teo in the affirmative. Mr.. Smiths name does
not appear among the ayes and nays We in
fer that Messrs. Chase and Burton will both vote
against the resolutions when they come before
the Senate, from the fact that Mr.. Burton voted
to adjourn on Thursday, and Mr.. Chase left the
Democratic caucus because he did not recog'
nize the right of majority to dictate to the
minority on a question of principle.

FATAL ACCTDENT.-The Sierra Citizen is in
formed by Mr. Beatie, of the Independence
Quartz Mill, at the Buttes, of u terrible accident
which occurred there on the 22d of February
Mr.. Joseph Chanty was repairing some fix

where the cams lift the stamps, the m j was ac-
cidentally set in motion by another person who
was at work at the machinery in the upper part
of the mill. and who was unaware of MIR. Cha
ney's position. The cam, as it revolved, caught
his head and mashed it, scattering bis braius
aud killing him instantly. Mr. CLANCY was
from Baltimore, where his parents reside. He
was aged about 80 years. and had followed the
sea before coming TO this country. He bad
worked at the above mill since May last.
The mill where the accident occurred, took

AcoUITTAL OF DR.. BATEs.-The case OF DIR.
Bates, late Stale Treasurer, was again called
up in the Court Of Sessions Of Placer county
last week. on the Indictment for allowing E. A.
Rowe to use the funds of the State. The Court
decided that the books of Wells, Fargo & Co.
could not be used in evidence, and on this de-
cisiOn being made, the counsel for the prosecu-
tion entered a nolle proseqa, and Bates was dis
charged. The State has lost about quarter Of
q million Of dollars through the defalcations Of
Bates, and it seems strange that the law cannot
reach him.

THE STATE PRisoN.-Gov Weller last week
took possession of the State prison, in accord
ance with the provisions of an act of the Legis-
lature. McCauly was in the act Of getting out
IN Injunction, but the Governor was too quick
for him and got possession of the institution be-
fore the papers could be served on him. The
Governor Immediately notified the guard and
other employees, that they could remain if they
chose, in the employ of the State. which propo-
sitiou was accepted by the most of them. Since
taking possession of the prison and examin-
ing its affairs, the Governor has sent message
to the Legislature suggesting many just and hui
name regulations in regard TO the institution,
the treatment of convicts. &c.

E. A. RowE-Durng the progress of the
Bates case this week, the above noted individual
was stopping within three-fourths of mile of
Auburn. Why he did not come to town remains
unexplained. Some suppose that he was there
to be at convenient call, as a witness; but to be
kept out of sight, for fear of prejudicng Bates
interests, until certain evidence was necessary.
Others think he felt an interest in the result OF
the trial but was prevented from honoring the
town with his presence on account Of an ugly
way the people have about here of using hemp

A FORTUNE MADE-The Amador Ledger says:
On Sunday last, at Volcano. there was exhib-
tied cigar box almost filed with gold. There
was twenty-five pounds of the precious metal
worth near S4.000-hc product of only Twenty-Five
tons Of quarts, quanty of rock that would be
crushed by first class mill in "a or 36 hours.
1t was from the lode of Messrs. Reichling.
Tbeurkauf d Shumer, mile or so above Con-
treras, Amador side, and the first crushing in
their new arastra mill The rock was taken as
it came, without selection. and there is anv
quantity OF the same sort left. 1t is unneces-
sary to say that the proprietors have a sure
thing of all the money they want.

A RELIABLE EDTToR.-In speaking Of para
graph in our last, in regard 10 the late shooting
affair at San Juan. the Star says that editors bad
better know something of the facts Of case be-
fore they attempt to pass censure upon wor-
thy officer. The paragraph referred to was not
intended, nor was there word in it, which
could be construed into censure of Justice
johnson. 1t was merely a "hit' at the lawyers
and was regarded by them as good joke. 1t
seems to make but little difference with the ed.
itor of the Star, whether he has any know
ledge offacts, SO far as hs statements are
concerned. In recent number of his paper,
he Indignantly denied that Justice johnson lis
tened several hours to the speeches of the attor-
neys, and then pulled his written decision out
of his pocket and read it. Now we have it on
reliable authority, that the incident as related
is not only correct, but that the editor Of the
Star was sitting by the side of the Justice at the
time, and must have known that his denial was
false. We leave the public to judge what reli-
ance can be placed in the statements OF such an
editor.

THE LEcoMPToN CoNsTTFUTIoN.-We re-pub-
lish on our first page, an article from the Wash
ington States. on the question Of the admission
of Kansas under the Lccompton Constitution.
The States places the whole question in its true
light, and the effects upon the Democracy which
will result from carrying out the policy OF
the administration are not overdrawn. The
forcing of the Lecompton Constitution upon
the people Of Kansas, can have no other erect
than to break down the Democratic party Ill
the Northern States. No practical benefit to
the South can result from the admission ofKan-
sas with Constitution recognizing slavery, for
Il is admitted that four-6fths Of the people are
opposed to the institution, and when such is the
fact slave owners would never take their prop
erty there. The States is a reliable Democratic
journal, conducted by southern men, aud inde-
pendent of cliques and factions. AT first 1t
took the administration view Of the Kansas
question, but fearful of the consequences likely
to follow from the carrying cut Of that policy,
has taken bold stand with the Little Giant,
although the question is regarded more as q
matter Of policy than of principle.

REVOLUTION IN TEHAUNTEPEc.-The S. f. Her

a revolution had taken place at Tehaunteptc.
1t seems there was about four hundred troops
stationed at the above named place, who were
ordered to Oxua to quell revolution then 60
ing on there but no sooner had they left Te-
bauntepec, than party of insurgents (some
1907 headed by the notorious adventurer Condo,
entered the town and took possession of it, to-
gether with the Custom-house, Post Office, aud
other public buildings. The Collector and Off
GERS were compelled to give up everything
without the least resistance. They entered the
town at midnight and took goods into their pos
session to the amount of $4,000. The Post
master was requested to resign, and favorite
of their own Installed in his place. 1t was ex-
pected that Conde and his party would flee af-
ter the return Of the troops from Oxua. The
building of the Tehauntepec railroad had been
suspended, and all the workmen were discharg-
ed All was quiet, however, at latest dates.

REWARD OF MERIT.-By letter rece we'd here
by the last mail from Calao, we learn that
Charles Lay, who suddenly absquatulated from

way of Harry Meiggs, is now acting Private
Secretary to the American Consul at Lima
We may next expect to hear that Meggs is ap-
pointed Minister to some of the South American
States, if we are to take the case of Lay as a
criterion. We begin to believe that "polcy is
the best honesty. ."-Butte Record.

fraud, but we doubt the policy of repeating it.
