The Sutter Grant.

We understand, from good authority, that
DR.. Il. A. Pearis who left on the steamer
OF the goth, for the Atlantic States, was
clothed with full authority, together with the
necessary atfidavits, from General Sutter, to
insure the confirmation of his grant to the
tract of land covering this city 1t will be
recollected that, a few months ago, Mr.. B.
3. Redding was sent by parties opposed to
the confirmation Of this grant, to Washing
ton City, with full power Of attorney from
Gen Sutter, authorizing him to dismiss his
suit now pending before the Supreme Court
of the United States for this same property,
and it is generally understood that Mr.. Red
ding took with him the affidavit of Sutter.
in which he stated that the land upon which
Sacramento City is located was not embraced
within the boundaries Of his grant from
Mexico. Now, DR.. Pearls goes on with aft.
davits directly to the contrary. If this be
correct, we would suggest to some enterpris-
ing attorney to employ the General by the
year, and keep him on hand as witness in
his cases, as it will be much less trouble to
tell him what to swear to than to hunt up
witnesses for The various cases he may have
Truly y, this will be a great country some of
these days! We apprehend, however, that
the Supreme Court Of the United States will
pay no more attention to the affidavits taken
by Mr.. Redding and DR.. Pearls than that
much blank paper. This Court is an appel
late one, entirely, and will not look outside
of the record of the case sent up to them
from the court below. So that if the pro-
ceedngs before the Board of Land Commits
,.I,@ a Al -
property, he will get it; if the contrary, he
will lose it. Therefore, all this thing Of get
ting up afiidavits and sending parties on to
Washington with them, is perfectly useless.

The Stock Trade.

The amount of stock tha: passed Nativi-
dad, Monterey county, on their way to the
northern markets during the months of Feb
rnary and March last. saws correspondent
of the San Francisco Herald, is: stock cattle,
1865; beef cattle, sos; horses and mares,
l75; sheep, 22,5oo. The sheep all came
from New Mexico, and 1850 head of the
stock cattle belonged to emigrants from the
Atlantic States. The following sales have
been effected lately: In Santa Barbara of
600 head beef cattle, in fine order, at S32;
in Monterey, Of 80 head beef cattle, at 1913,
and of l20 head at s32; of 100 mares wild J
at 500; of 1000 head of ewes, at 81; of
5000 head of weathers, at about SO rs.
These last are Mexican sheep, of the late ar
rival. Sheep (ewes) are yet in demand, and
but few are in the market of New Mexican
stock.
The late rains in the lower counties have
dispelled all fears of dry season, and gra-
zers and farmers are now satisfied that they
have had an abundance of rain to produce
them plenty of grass and good cereal crops

to the district force. We recommend officer Hause
for promotion. He should at least be made a ser

admirably in merging the feelings of man in
those of magistrate and who in the exercise of
his Judicial functions has shown himself proof
against all human weakness, and any possible re-

THE KANSAS TION-MOVEMENTS OF
THE TWO WINGS OF THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTG.-THE FIT. RIPLEY RESERV ALTON

WASHINGTON, March 30.-Last night the commit
tee OF the Democratic caucus held meeting for
conference at the capitol, to deliberate in regard to
the Kansas question. The committee were equally
divided there being ten Lecomptonites and ten anti
accompanies. There an interchange of views
but no conclusions arrived at, and as a con-
sequence, vote was taken.
The anti-Lecompton Democrats held meeting in
one OF the Committee rooms last night to hear the
report OF the Committee their part. They re
ported that nothing could be done. No propositions
were made of any kind that could be accepted
They were authorized to present the Crittenden
amendment, slightly modified as a proposition but
it was unacceptable to the Joint Committee Other
propositions treated in like manner 1t is said,
however, there was good feeling amongst anti
Lecomptonites and unity of purpose.
Mr.. English, his friends claim, has been wronged
by the imputations of the press in his good faith in
rendering the Ohue Branch to the other Democrats
and it is further said that the ant-Lecompton Dem
ocrats stand by the Crittenden amendment.
The House has been officially informed that the
Secretary of War has annulled and set aside the
sale of the Fort Ripley military reservation The
lands were sold, and at prices varying from one to
twenty cents an acre.
The Senate to-day confirmed nominations of Phil
lip Barton Kew, as District Attorney, VIM. Selden
Marshall VIM. Jones as Postmaster, and VIM
Finn as Navy Agent-all for the District of Column
bia; John Helm as Postmaster at st. Louis and
Major McMcken as Consul at Acapulco.

Having recently INDUCED in some structures upon
the remssness of the police and magistrates in the
performance of their duties gladly give place to
the following bit of police intelligence which we
find in the columns of morning contemporary,
as affording gratifying evidence of renewed zeal
and activity on the part of these public servants in
the enforcement of the laws
Walter Kennedy, lad, was yesterday brought
before Justice Boyd by officer Hause of the South
District Police, charged with peddling ORANGES
and lemmons without license The lad who is
not more than 10 or II years of age, had been
previously warned by the police. The little fellow
pleaded in excuse that his father had compelled
him to 90 upon the street and offer the fruit for
sale. The magistrate imposed a fine of 81, and in
default of payment committed the offender to jail
We congratulate the city upon the possession of
such vigilant guardian of the laws as officer
Hause and such an inhexibe magistrate as Justice
Boyd. In melting out to the criminal Kennedy the
punishment rightly due TO his offence justice APP
pears to have been kindly tempered with mercy.
Not until after he had been previously "warned"
against the consequences of persistent course of
sinful ''peddhng of oranges and lemons without
license, was this hardened offender finally made
to suffer the just reribution of his crimes That in
obedience to the commands of his father he sbould
have continued his illegal traffic after this s:warn
ing" from the police, is evidence of degree of
depravity and obduracy truly remarkable in one of
such tender years. lie was mot more than ten or
twelve years of age" 1t is fortunate, indeed, that
his career of crime should have been nipped thus
carly in the bud and by incarceration in the
common Jail, and enjoying for a brief sea-
son the advantages of the society he will
there find, he will doubtless be brought to sense
of the enormty of his transgression, and be led to
better and more orderly course of life. The gall
lantry displayed by 'oficer Hause of the Southern
District Police, in making this important arrest,
cannot be too highly commended We remember
that not long since notable offender named Ed
wards, residing in the same section of the civ
successfully braved the whole force of the District
to which officer Hause belongs, summoned tooetber
for the express purpose of arresting him, nv the
ringing of the Station House bell but intimidated
from making any attempt at his capture by the
threats of that truculent rufiian.
In case of similar emergency arising here
after, which, from the frequency with which
Mr.. Edwards INDUCES in his favorite pas
time of shooting, stabbing, beating, and abus-
ing the lieges in the Streets is not at all unlikely
the presence of man so utterly Indifferent to
personal danger, in the discharge of his duty, as
