Tue ALMADEN NINE CASE In the u. S.
Circuit Court, yesterday, the motion made on
the part of the United States for the appoint
ment of a Receiver, was denied
Judge Hoffman thought it would be more
advisable to adopt the proposition submitted
oTTuesday by Mr.. Peaehy on the part of the
defendants. except as to the portion relating
to the deposit of money as he was of opinion
the Court had 10 power to authorise the de-
po'it of money to its credit in Chancery
proceeding
Judge McAllister said he had consulted the
books, and found the Court had but one way
to proceed-either to take possession of the
mine itself, for the purpose of preserving it
or leave it in possession of defendants, and
take the risk of having the property wasted
If the Court took the mine into its own pos
session, it could only do so by the appoint
ment of an officer for that purpose. A Re
ceiver would be both liable on his bond and
officially. A Commissioner having been ap-
pointed and presented a report, something
was necessary to be done to preserve the min,
pending the final disposition of the case
Judge McAllister thought Receiver should
be appointed.
There being difference of opinion between
the Judges as to granting the application, il
had to be denied. An order to that effec
was entered upon the minutes-S. r. Herald

TIE New STEAMSHIP LINE-The steamship
Herman may be looked for early in next
week. This is the pioneer ship of the new
line intended to run between this port and
Panama. She left New York on the 22d of
August, with several hundred passengers,
and was to touch at Panama, where she
would connect with the Atlantic, which was
to have left New York for Aspinwall on the
25th of October. The Atlantic having left
her passengers there, was to continue her voy-
age around Cape Horn to San Francisco, and
the Baltic would soon follow. What ships
are permanently to connect with these, on
the Atlantic side, has not yet trOnspired.-
Whatever tends TO facilitate and cheaper
travel to California, should meet with the
heartiest encouragement from the public
The new line, together with that by the way
of Nicaragua, and the present Mail Line, will
pour into the State continuous stream OF
population, reviving and sustaining business,
and infusing new life into all the branches OF
trade Thousands of acres of agricultural
and mineral lands await the labor which now
seems about to be directed upon them.-S. f.

Proposed STAGE RoUTE-The inhabitants
of the coast towns of San Luis Obispo Santa
Barbara. and San Buenaventura, and the ad-
jacent country, are very much in want of
mail facilities by land with the cities and
towns north and south of them. The locality
is perhaps the only one in the State, possess
ing so large a population, without the ac
cOmmodatiOn of a stage route These cities
are dependant on the coast steamer for their
mail matter, which they obtain only twice a
month, as heretofore, while those on the in
terror line Of travel have tri.weeklv com.
municaton with San Francisco, and semi
weekly with the Eastern States. This state
of affairs calls loudly for redress and we
think the Post Office authorities should es-
tablish route to connect the above named
cities with the great Overland Mail Line.
Stages connecting San Luis, via. Santa Bar
bara, with Los Angeles, would effect this
object; and We believe it is proposed to or
ganize this route, should the Department as.
sst it by establishing mail on it, With
this reasonable request, in view of the pres
sing necessity of the case, we have no doubt
the authorities would gladly comply. If so,
we understand that Mr.. Banning, of this city,
would accept the contract, and at once open
up this line of communication. The citizens
Immediately interested should make a repre-
sentation Of their wants to the Department,
and we have no doubt they would meet with
immediate attention.-LoS angeles Star, Noe.

of passengers, but, fortunately, seven fishing
boats were on board, and all the passengers,
with the exception Of three, were safely Ian
ded on the island. The names of the three
we were unable to learn. Capt Pease of the
U. 5. revenue cutter Marcy, upon hearing the
report, Immediately gave notice to the agents
OF the underwriters, that, if they would tow
his vessel to sea (there being no wind, and a
strong flood tide running), he would render
the shipwrecked people all the assistance in
his power. Capt Creary, of the steam-tug
Goliah, at once offered to take the schooner
in tow, and the cutter is now on ner way to

JUDGE DOUGLAS KANsAs.-Let us hold n
familiar chat gentlemen, on these exciting
questions, talking plainly, that the side of
truth and right may be illustrated
You vindcate Judge Douglas, and wish
him success in his fight in Illinois, and you
are right. He vindicates the Dred Scott de-
cision, and holds that the Constitution of the
United States carries slavery into the terri
tories Is it Southern policy for him to sue
ceed or for Trumbull. Wentworth, and their
Abolition horde, to bear off the important
State of Illinois in triumph Let the victo-
ry be to the little giant, But the cry is, he
voted against Lecompton. And pray what
is LecomptOn and anti-Lecompton but hum
bug, and the football of presidential aspirants?
There was never any vitality in that question
to the South, and it was always, and is now,
only presidential ladder, not like old ia
cObs on which angels are ascending and de-
scending, but aspirants are scrambling up and
struggling to cast each other down. The hon
est masses are sick and tired of the contest.
The Washington Union reads Douglas out of
the Democratic party. If this is to be done,
what shall be done with Mr. Buchanan for
sending Walker into Kansas, to preach up
"the isothermal line" against slavery, and to
stimulate freesoil emigration to that terrific
ry2 Let us be fair, and if Douglas must be
read out, take up the cases of Buchanan,
Cobb d Co.. and pass upon them. 1t can
hardly be credited that the administration
endorses the Unions attacks on Douglas
But if So more prudence may enure greatly
to the benefit of the Democratic party Just
now quietus on this sorry, thread bare
Kansas question, will knock the breath out
of the Black Republican party. The admin
istration and the Union may not only keep it
alive, but give it a dangerous plethora of
blood, muscle and political organism l com
mend to the powers at Washington a couplet
from Two Millions"
WHO fghts to the end may win, but douby wise
Who knows the moment when to compromise"
Now, gentlemen, the best thing to be done
with Kansas, is to admit her as soon as it can
be done-there is no chance for her to be a
slave State-let her come in, and then, thro'
the supremacy Of the Democratic party, the
South may confidently look for the extension
of her institutions into regions more congo
nial to their spread and perpetuity. Mark
my word, if Kansas presents herself proper
ly for admission, and the Democratic party
stands in opposition false issue will be
made, and sad, fatal blunder committed.

es should control the Vaccinations of politi-

The MARSHAL ARREsTED.-Our efficient
City Marshal was arrested, yesterday, or the
day efore, in the region of Rattlesnake Bar,
on Rabbit Creek, by the "honest miners" 1t
seems that he was moving around among
them rather mysteriously in search of some
thieves upon whose track he was, when the
miners suspected him of being thief himself
and arrested him, on their own responsibility
He told them who he was and showed them
his star but they answered that he couldn't
fool them in that sort of way, and refused
to release him. His situation was becoming
decidedly disagreeable, when, at last, the
Agent of Wells, Fargo d Co. in that locality,
who happened to know him, very opportune.

Marshal of Marysville. He was then, of

The SIXTH INFANfRY-The arrival and
passage through our streets of the Sixth Re

the wonder of our people 1t is rarely that
the spectacle is presented, in time of peace, OF
full regiment completely equipped accom-
panied by its baggage train, hospital wagons,
artisans shops herds, loose animals and other
details of a moving camp, marching through
State capital 1t is the first time that so
large body of regular troops has passed
through Sacramento, and probably the first
time that so large a portion of the army has
ever been seen in regular marching order
within the borders of California"

MARYsvILLE ExrREss.-This paper has a
chronic disregard of facts which borders ON
the perverse. Its allegation of the Union ta-
king columns from it without credit is sim
ply ridiculous, as well as untrue, and its per-
mission to copy from its pages ad Gbitui, by
way of our getting even, is respectfully de-
clined, as the exchange would not be greatly
to our advantage. We much prefer to give
it credit, when it chances to have anything
worthy of it. 1t says it will plead guilty il
we will point out single instance of its sins
of omission, and as its reckessness of state
ment can be so easily proved we refer to the
Express of November 9th, where two-thirds
of column of teegraphic intelligence is ta-
ken bodily from the Union, and so "doctored'
as to appear as original. The same news was
properly credited in the DEMOCRAT on the
