DISTRICT CoURT-CsIMINAL CASES.
The District Court, after some prelimi-
nary business, commenced the trial of
criminal cases on Wednesday of last
week The first case was that of John
McCaBs, indicted for participation in the
murdsr of j, Ii. McMurtry, at Grass
Valley in July last. The trial occu-
ped the time of the Court till Saturday
evening District Attorney Anderson
and Gen. McDougal, for the prosecution
Mcconnell and Meredith for the de-
fense. The jury were out but few min
u.es when they returned into court with
a verdict of murder in the second de-
gree. The prisoner will be sentenced
tomorrow. According to a general rule
rarely deviated from, motion for new
trial was made by prisoners counsel.
On Monday last the case of Alex.
Griffin indicted for the same offense as
McCabe, was taken up. The time of
the Court has been occupied mostly
since in the examination Of this case.
Meredith for the defense and McDougal
for the prosecution took up most of the
day yesterday.
The next case on the calendar is that
Of Northup indicted for the murder of
VIM. Reynolds, at North San Juan. AT.
ter the disposal of this case the Court
will again return to the trial of the re-
mainder of those engaged in the Grass
Valley tragedy.

A SLIGHT MIsTAKE.-The Democrat
of this week makes slight mistake in
pursuing "Old Potter" too far. The
criticism of Potter's Antonio, OF Monday
night, perhaps might have been just,
had he taken that character. But the
old gentleman personated Ferrado on
that occasion, instead of Antonio. The
critic Of tie Democrat mistook the duke
for the priest in The Wife; or Tale of
Mantua." The mistake arose from the
fact that Potter was on the bills for An
tonic, but was exchanged for another
character on the stage. That the sharp
critic discovered that Potter, as the
duke. personated the priest very poorly
is much to his credit, certainly; but
that he was present during the whole
play and did not see that a change had
been made from the bills, is somewhat
astonishing in critic.

The EFFECTS of the rapid rate OF

The EFFECTS of the rapid rate OF
transmitting news across the plains, says
the Sacramento Bee, will be to cause
Californians TO rely on their own jour
mails for the news of the week. A few
exchan ges will only be transmitted over.
land to the papers here, their contents
will be copied and distributed over the
State, and when the steamer arrives
with its tons of newspapers the infor-
nation they contain will be "stale, fat
and Improbable" 1t will have been
known beforehand through the columns
of our own newspapers.
To some extent doubtless this will be
the effect; but the people can never dc
without those large cheap sheets, which
can only be proftably published on the
other side of the world. The time will
never arrive when great falling off in
the patronage of Eastern papers will be
seen in this State. The New York
journals have become to thousands nee.
essary articles of life and cannot be dis.
pensed with.

Race at Zabriskie's S was splendid sight.

and out bet the friends of Forbes up to

boys from this place came back COM
pletely cleaned out, obliged to go around

Who ARE DlsuSIoN,srs "A vritey

Who ARE DIsuNIoNIsrs "A writer
in the Nevada National replies in very
good temper, to the extent Of two COL
umns, to few lines from the N. Y. Jour-
nal, that by some chance were copied
into our paper of the lst inst The wri-
ter says truly the appearance of the
lines in our paper is an implied endorse
ment on our part. On careful reading
ofthe scrap, we are at loss to tell how
it ever came to be found in our columns.
We do no, endorse the sentiment there
Of Northern Democrats, we believe,
mediate no treason against the Union.
Nor are many disunionists found among
them. Had the correspondent Of the
National confined himself to repelling
this accusation alone instead of going
farther and making as unfounded a
charge against the prominent men of
another party he would have done well.
In the ardor of pusuit he has gone too
far and has laid himself liable to receive
at least two columns in refutation of his
own accusations, could the public bear
the second inhiction. 1t was enough to
mention few of those ultra men of the
north without eliminating the leaders of
an entire party whose creed so far as the
local character of slavery is concerned
does not differ from that of the Demo-
cratic, and to 60 still further and make the
unfounded charge of encroachment and
treason upon the northern portion of
the Union, is worse still. Quoting Bish
op Hopkins on this point only proves
there is a man in the pulpit who ought
to attend more to TIE duties of his sa-
cred calling than betraying his igno-
rance Of history and s,igmatising his
countrymen as despoilers of their broth
ers' rights and traitors to the Union.
The words of such man will not weigh
in the balance with those who have Civ
EN- theirlives to the study of American
history and politics and to the service
of their country.
Had the question been asked six
years ago where dsunion was most ex-
tensively cherished, the universal reply
would have been, in the Southern States,
and a man from that section, far from
denying it would have Immediately filed
his excuse that northern aggression or
the slavery agitation had driven the
South to take the position of antagonism
to the Union. How hollow the plea
was and is, we refer the writer in the
National to the writings of Benton,
southern man, and a statesman whose
words ought to be as good authority as
those of an obscure Bishop in Vermont,
perhaps little better. In the appen-
dix to the Thirty Years View" from
page 179 to lS5, The frost-bitten Bishop
and the correspondent of the National
will find a nice little job of refutation to
do. Ample quotations from Benton to the
point will be found on the outside of our
last weeks issue.

He is only printer Such was the
sneering remark Of a leader in circle
of aristoeracy-the Goldfish quality. Who
was the Earl of Stanhope He was OH
lv printer. What is Prince Frederick
William, just married to the Princess of
England! He, too, is only printer
Who was William Claxton, one of the
fathers of literature He was only a
printer. What was Washington Irving,
G. p. Morris, N. P. Willis, James Gales,
Horace Greeley, Bayard Taylor, Chas.
Dickens, Theirs, Douglas Jerrold, Geo.
Dennison Prentice, Senators Dix, Cam
eron, Bigler. Anthony and Niles? They,
too, were printers. What was Benja-

able position on earth! Only printer!

are necessary.
