The most important piece Of news we
have had from California, for some time,
is that the Supreme Court of that State
has decided the statute enacted by the
Legislature, prohibiting the migration Of
Chinese into its territories, to be uncou-
s'i'utional. The ban is, therefore, remov-
cd, and the Chinese may come in as fast
as they choose This abolishes oue Of the
baFbarisus and anti-republican features Of

In New Preston, 18th inst, of apoplexy, Elin, wife of Deac. Isaac D. Patterson, aged 56. In Forestville, on the 18th inst, of lung fever, MT. JULIUS MUNGER, formerly of this town aged a. In Watertown, 14th inst, Milo Baldwin, aged G3. very worthy and highly respected citizen. In New Haven, 18th inst, Mrs. Clarinda B. Mcr- win widow of the late Rev. Samuel Merwin, aged 70. In Sharon, 18th inst, at his residence, Benjamin S Hamlin, aged 39 years.
 MT. Hamlin was a very energetic, upright, busi- man. He was highly esteemed for his many commendable traits of character There are but few young men whose loss to their own families and im mediate friends would be more keenly felt than his. He expressed willingness to die, and he left hc. hind the comforting assurance that he was prepared to meet his Saviour in peace
 His languishing head is at rest,
 Its thinking and aching is OCT.
 His quiet, imlnovable breast,
 Is heaved by afliction no more;
 Those lids he so seldom could close
 Have strangely forgotten to weep.
 And now he's entombed with the dead"

THE DESTINATION or THE THIRTY MrEx1ozv- Some of the administration prints are telling their readers that thethirty millions of dollars which r. Slidell asks for MT Buchanan will not be wanted fl it be not purchased by our government. Vote the money they say, and if Spain will not sell Cuta it will never be drawn from the treasury.
 There was never a more barefaced misfepreeeDta- ton than this. No falsehood invented to be cir ,- lated on the eve of an election, with design t.. duce an effect before those who were prejudc.. " It could follow it up with refutation was ever ,i gfoSser character,
 In Mr. Sldelrs report to the United staten s. ,., i9 favor of the bill, he does not anywhere pret,l Id that the money is to be paid for the island ho talks of it as the ' means of negotiating f. t,,, island. It is grant of money to be expended as q preliminary to the purchase. On the eleventh page 'This bill approprates thirty millions of dollars to make treaty rih Spai" for the purchase of the island of Cuba
 Not to pay for Cuba is this monney to be granted, but to make the treaty. When MT. Buchanan js called upon to account for the money his report will befor everybody knows that the island will not be- sold" did my best with the large sum YOU so liberally put into my hands, employed ageDtn | both American and Spanish, in the island of Cuba and in the mother country, at Washington, Havana and Madrid bifed the most effectual tools could
 find in the market and if the island is not for sale it is not my fault"
 One of the gtossest features of this affair is the shaiaslsssiless Of the bribery it cyntenplates 1 NC justly hold that he who offers bribe is a sharer in tue guilt and shame of him who takes it. The law puts him who hires ruffan to commit q murder on the same footing with him who performs the deed-the tempter is responsible for the sin of the tempted and bears its disgrace
 But bribery is always private affair between the partles-it covers up it's traces in secrecy Mr. Bu- chanan cannot brbe and tell He must not give the names of the people in Cuba and Spain whom he has bought with the thirty millions.
 This necessary condition of the transactions pre-
 mnary to treaty, gives the person interested with the thirty millions the broadest latitude: We put into the hands of Mr. Buchanan, if the Slidel bill be passed money which he cannot in decency &C., count for money, for the of which, even by the rule of honor among thieves, he cannot disclose In other words we give him an open warrant for ex- pending it just when and where he pleases even for the most shameful purposes of personal emolument or ambition.--EUening Post.

inst to torment her Is the idea that, altho' she is not willing to trade, you will torment her SO that she shall have no peace of her life, and finally make the trade to get rid of you?
 Without regard to the fact that Spain says she will not trade, the bill is an enormous pro position upon it's face. We gave SIS, ,OOO.O00 to the Emperer Napoleon for Louisiana. yast territory, reaching from the mouth to the source of the Mississippi River, embracing the present States of Louisiana, Arkansas Mis- souri, Iowa and Minnesota There was U per feet kingdom for l5,0OO,00O. We got yast domain of public land, of crown lands beldh9- ing to France, more than enough to pay 3ll the expenses of the purchase, and of tllefr survey, and leave ns profit. That is trade that man might well strain point for. Jef- ferson was said to entertain some constitution al scruples about that acquisition but almost any mans constitutional scruples would give way under the weight of such a trade as that. Then we bought the whole southern end of Florida, that vast peninsula, for 5000, GOO. It would have been a pretty good purchase, if we had not been paying ever since. I will not say that we have paid more than the State is worth, for it is a good State now, and will not speak disrespectfully of her but II it had not been for Osceola, and Sam Jones, and Jumper, and the enormous price per cap ita that it has taken to transport, catchaor kill the Indians there, that would have been q reasonable trade. But do Hot suppose new, if Florida was put up at public auction and sold it would bring more than would indenni- fy us for the expenses of the various Indian wars.
 Now, Sir, we come to the Island of Cuba, and what are we to get? We get the public property-the Moro Castle, the jais and the Court Houses We do not own the ne- groes we do not buy the land for our selves but it is trade simply for the sovereignty. Well, what does that sovc- reignty al:ount to ? It amounts to this :: that you are to protect the people of Cuba :; that you are to extend over them the laws of the Union that you are to keep off pirates !; that if they get into a fight, you are to help them. Of course we shall have to build up their wharves attend to their public wants. The youngest child in the family of course will be petted and how much you are to expend to get her in proper trim, the Lord only knows. To De contimued.)

FoRGERY-Dr. Linus F. Crockett, we'll known and heretofore respected citizen of Hartford was on Wednesday last arrested for forgery, and has been bound over for trial before the Superior Court with the certainty of conviction, and the sad prospect of spending large portion of his future life at Weth- ersfeld Failing to procure s40O0 bail, he has been committed to the county jail The forgery consists in the endorsement of the of A. S. Stillman, Newton Case and Carlos Glazicr to notes left by Dr. P. at several of the Hartford banks and with indi v;duals from whom he had obtained loans amount ing to about twelve thousand dollars far ascer tained The doctor was for time in the book busi- ness in which he was unfortunate and attempted to relieve himself by forgery. Once involved, he re- heated the offence until inevitable detection over took him. He was member of the Baptist church, from which he has been promptly expelled.
 The excitement at Hartford on the arrest of Dr. r.
 was scarcely less than that produced at Buffalo seve ral years since by the detection of Benjamin Rahoun and the character of the transaction isvery slmlar AS will doubtless be the punishment.

THE COLCHESTER CAsHIER.-The Connecticut off cers had deal of trouble in getting Jones' the bank defaulter, to Connecticut In order to prevent his being brought into this State, complaint made against him in New York by Warren Leland, one of proprietors of the Metropolitan Hotel, and relative it is said of Jones' charging him with obtaining 1900 dollars by false pretences of said Leland, and he was brought before the Recorder writ of habeas cor pus After great excitement and contention for the custody of the. prisoner which continued two days he finally delivered to the Connecticut officers by Sheriff Kelly, and was hustled into carriage and driven to the Hudson River Railroad Depot, whence he was conveyed to Rhinebeck, thence by carriage to Falls Village, where was taken on to the Housa tonic Rail Road, and conveyed via Bridgeport and New Haven to Norwich. On Monday he was to have been taken to Colchester for examination.
 Much credit is due to Commissioner Noyes and to J. R. Whiting, Esq, Sheriff Payne of New London and officer Chamberlain of Hartford, for the of this rescue from those who attempted thwart pub lie justice.
