10 the Adminst -ation has clear majority OF AZ on
joit ballot over all opposition
An interesting question has been started IN the as
smbly. One Of the members elect 10 Mr. Charles
InncOmbe, who was born in England and naturahzed
II one Of the Atlantic States lie aferward went 10
(anada claimed there to be British subject, and,
Without being upnsturahzed' or "denatlrallzed'
fom his American, or naturahzed orrenaooazedln INTO
British nationality, he was elected member OF the
Canadian Parliament. He WAS engaged in the " Pat
lot War;" twenty years ago, aud returned to the
United States, where he again claimed citizenshlp.
He is an Anti LecemptOn Democrat, and perhaps may
be elected from his seat but surely, under the general
principles Of our law he is citizen. AN American
citizen does not lose his citizenship by being permit
ted to exercise the rights or privileges OF citizen or
subject Of another cOnDtry. He cannot legally get rd
of his citizenship without a formal remuneration.
Considerable talk has been caused here oy report
that Gwin is to into the Cabinet IN the place
of Cobb who is to retire, aud there has been some
speculation as TO whom the Legislature would prooi
bly, choose to succeed Gwin in his Senatonal seat
However, the report does not command sufficient
credit to have set the politicians at work.
Much dissatisfaction has been caused IN California
nv he refusal of President Buchanan to give advance
comes Of his message TO the Salt Lake Overland Mail
Company as well as 70 the I'll Paso Company; lie
mated six copies in Washington on the 81 ut Tor tue
latter Company but refused to show any such favor 10
the Salt Lake Company, which had special messen-
ger waiting az st. Joseph ready to start at once wth
It inio the wilderpess. The consequence was, tne
mesmge did not start on the northern route rom nt
lou, until the 9th December, when II was we'll known
that ,hs southern route had four days the start II
had been the purpose Of the Salt Lake mail contract
ers TO make an extraordinarily quick TIP wlth the
message but the iDdocement to exerton was taken
away by the favoritism Of the President. The mes-
sage re- a.bed San Francisco via FL Paso 10 nineteen
DAYS from st. Louis and via Salt Lake in twenty-five
days, beng the two quickest trips ever made across
the continent, within the Territory OF the oni'ed
States. ~
Eighteen Cinnamon arrived here on the 10Th Dec,
in the ship Cyclone from Horg Kong. Their landing
was violation Of act passed at the last session o
our State Legislature, which forbade the Immigration
Of ali Chin,uen into California. This act is, however,
considered be contrary to that provision OF the Fed
eral Constitution which gives Congress the exclusive
control of commerce. No prosecution has been com
menced yet against either the Cinnamon, or the cap
tain or ownes of the Cyclone, all of whom are guilty
of grave msdemesnor il the law be constitutional
Ihe Alta hascaled the attention OF the pubic TO the
neglect Of the authorities to commencesut and declares
that unless sun be brought 1t viii feel justified In an
nouncing thatthe act is dead letter. The act was
passed by the mining influence, and resisted by
the representatives Of the large towns.
Almost every week meeting Is held In some mining
village TO forbid the Chin amen working the mines N
the adjacent district the mining districts being usually
about five miles square. On Christmas day the mi
pers at Diamond Springs, FL Dorado County held
such meeting, and passed these anti'Chnese reson
tons unanimously. One of their grievances stated in
the resolution washst the Ditch Company of the place
cold water cheaper To the Cinnamon than 70 white men,
II there be any ruth in this statement Of grievance,
presume the calse of the lower price of water To
amRD vi hat tlav ooh he
regularly, or paid for 1t more punctusly thad did
The white miners. There is effect without csuse.
Every day we hea some new fact going to show the
after nefciency lot the coYruptness of the present
management Of lndsn affairs 10 this State In Fresno
County there s an lrhan reservation but fe Indians
are kept on 1t, ana sgrest many allowed u roam
about the country. Their best hunting and hsnlng
grounds have been taken from them by the whites,
and they have been driven from place 10 place until
they have permanent raachey tls, as toey
had, and therefore they cannot preserve stores OF
sccins grass seeds buckeyes, grasshoppes, hsh and
other food as they used TO do. The Consequence u
that they completely denorslizsd, and they
"dsken Gods daylight 10 an alarming extent. they
are rowing thieves AID oeggas, drunk shen they eau
Get money, and piisnng when they csnrot. Last
week come Of the Fresno Indians sbout 100 in num-
oer having gwen trouble by their thets, were collect
ell by the white settlers and taken To the
The Agent tooh them to another part Of the county
but the people there hearing Of their coming net 81
the point where they To be turned oo.e and for
bsde the Agent to set them down there. A talk then
snsued between the Agent and the people, ans oDe OF
the latter spoke 10 the following effect reported by
correspondent OF The Stocktoa RepuJIieaa, an Ad-
ministrstion paper;
"The people there who fsuihar with Indisn
affairs believed that if the appropriation Of Congress
vas honestly devoted TO the Indians, would be
amply sufficient to meet all their wants and keep tlen
out of mischief AID such was his own notion. That
he has been employed 10 turnish beef to portion Of
the Indians under the judges charge, and that ke
aaa alcoss been reyuired 10 siyR blaaS roHchers,
and When, after signing them for few quarters, he
positively refused 10 sgu any more, he was politely
informed that the bsef contract had been gwen TO
other parties"
