Ex-Gov. J. NEELY JoHSsoS-Governor John
son did us the honor of calling upon US on
Thursday. He was en- route for Weayeryille and
will return tomorrow. We were pleased to
observe in him the very impersonatioH of health
in this respect resembling his Administration
which, although it may be set down by the his
torian as Know Nothing, will, at the same
time, by the same pen, be characterized as the
commencement of new and favorable era in
our financial history-as the administration un-
der whose auspices were inaugurated those re-
formatory measures which, even at so early
day as the present, have brought order out of
the chaos in which the State was cropping,
placed the financial affairs of California upon a
cash basis, and enabled her to raise her head
and look her creditors fall in the face.

COURT OF SESSIONS.

MONDAY, MAY Sd, 1858.
Present, Hon. Joel 7. Landrum, Judge, and
J. B. Stewart, Notwithstanding KnowAor
being absent. Adjourned to Tresday, when,
Mr.. Knowlton being present, the Court proceed
ed to try the case of the People vs.. Thomas w.
Browder, for libel The jury brought in ver-
dict of guilty on Thursday evening, when it
was discovered that the libeler had misterious-
ly evanished. The prosecution was conducted
by Col. Baggs, the defence by Col. aker and
l.. SsaasaIhazps .iss ,is ,wssS o.. . me mos.
viIlainous cases of libel that we hare ever
known. A number of letters written by Brow
der, and filled with the most disgusting obsce-
nifty, were before the Court. They were dea-
matory Of a little girl some ten or twelve years
of age. 1t was for writing these letters that he
was tarred and feathered in Yreka some months
since. He is unfit to live among cvlised peo-
pie, he is brute, if he wrote the letters alluded
to; and there does not appear to be any room
for doubt in his favor
On Thursday the Grand Jury reported and
were discharged. They found true bills against
All In, Chnaman, for grand larceny. s. X
Lockhart for assault with deadly weapon upon
one Peter Gipling, and Frank Carabin upon one
l.. A. Teurrasska. All In and Mr. Lockhart
were arraigned and their cases will be pro-
ceded with on next Monday. The Hospital and
Jail are reported IN good order. Associate
Justice Knowlton was censured for tardiness
and neglecting official duty, thereby causing
unnecessary expense to the county. We think
this censure of Associate Knowlton altogether
too sweeping. If one of the Associates is alb
sent on any particular day, why cannot the
County Judge appoint one of the two Magis-
trates residing in this town to supply the vacan-
cy, and force said appontee to serve? If he
has the powerto do this, it is his duty to the
taxpayers of the county, to exercise it, if he
can thereby save useless expense. The law
provides Sec. 81, page 152 Woods Dig. that
in case of the kind under consideration " the
county judge shall supply the vacancy or def
cheney for the term, by designating the requisite
number to form the court from the justices of
the peace OF the county" Thus he has full
power to supply vacancies, and to "forn the
Court" If the Magistrate appointed refuses
to serve, let the efficacy of q fine fol contempt
be tried

ARRANGED 1MIc1BrY.-A difficulty occurred
IN ball room recently in San Francisco be-
tween, L. S. Commissioner Penn johnson, and
the Mr.. Brooks who was nominated for the
Controllership by Gov. Weller, last winter, and
his nomination afterwards withdrawn. 1t grew
out of the Archy case. We believe that Brooks
pronounced johnson an Aboiitionist because he
discharged that celebrated negro. This brought
out the lie, and this it was thought would bring
forth shooting irons. Third parties, however
have settled the affair amicably.

/" In the passage of this bill the Kansas-Ne-

plauded the Senator from Illinois, Mr. dug
las) for accepting Mr.. Dxons amendment

souri, Compromise" he says in preceding
portion of his speech"--CorR.].
And again:
Up to the time of the passage of tie Kan
sas-Nebraska act, large majority of the North
did not question the right of the South to con-
troll the destinies of the territories south of the
Missouri line. The people of the North should
have welcomed the passage of the Kausas-Ne-
braska act. ] am astonished that Republicans
should call for restoration of the Missouri Com
promise. With the terrible odds that are a.
gainst her the South should not have repealed
1T, if she desired to retain her rights in the ter
ritories"
We are of the opinion that no honest man,
who has sufficient brains to comprehend the
English language, after careful perusal of
this speech, will say that Mr.. Broderick "de-
nounces" the repeal of the Missouri Compro-
mise, or occupies Republican ground on that
measure.

Mr.. Broderick's Speech.

Those individuals who have heretofore made
so much fass because Mr.. Broderick was not
known a speech maker, will henceforth fad
their mouths closed on this point. They will
hereafter admit that he not only has opinions,
but the capacity to clothe them in robust and
vigeroos language and the boldness to proclaim
them-that is, all except few, who will no
doubt say that some other person wrote the
speech for him. This, however, is a stale mode
of undertaking the abilities of public men, and
is not likely to do Mr. Broderick much hurt-at
least the like dirty intimations never seriously
damaged the reputation of Gen. Washington,
(whose Farewell Address envious minded peo-
pie have attributed to the pen of Hamilton), or
of Gen. Jackson, Whose messages the same
sort of unhappy people always charged Van
Buren with writing).
As was TO have been expected certain parties
already proclaim him Republican because of
that portion of his speech touching the repeal
of the Missour; Compromise. They say he has
" denounced" the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise, and therefore he is a Republican.
Why, the sole reason that he gives for making
the speech is, that certain Black Republicans in
the Senate were urging restoration of that
Compromise If therefore, he opposes its re-
storation, how can he be said to "denouncer
it, Again, if The Re '"ans u the restor-
alton of the Missouri restriction and Mr. B.
opposes it, how can that opposition be said to
make him Republican? But let us see what
is his language:
Ma. PRESIDENT In December last, when
the Presidents message was under discussion, |
promised that il ever the Lecompton constitu-
tion WAS presented to the Senate, should have
