Gov. WELLER-We understand that the
Governor is at present in town. He will be
"in town." in different sense, if he gets the
nomination of his own party for reelection
to the gubernatorial position. The Cover
nor's day is done, let him rustic around as he
may. There was time when, if he had
taken the tide at its flood, it would have led
him on to fortune But he neglected his op
portunity lie turned the scale against him
self-denounced the men, Tor many of them
at least,) who had always stood by him in
his political contests, and would have
stood by him forever-lent his assistance,
upon the springing up of the Douglas
issue, to an organization controlled
by men who would delight in wiping him out
from political existence, and who are yet
bound to crush him. lie left his friends and
fraternized with his enemies lie made his
own bed, and now let him lie on it, If he
can find thornier one in the world, we
would like to know where.

Quoting from the Shasta Courier an arti-
Gle endorsing the validity of the call of the
Lecompton State Central Committee, the
Sacramento Standard says
speaking Of the call for a County Convention
of Democrats opposed to the Administration, the
Shasta Courier heretofore u rcd hot Douglas pa
per, says
Then follows what the Courier observes in
reference to the Lecompton State Central
Committee. Now, the editor, either inten-
tonally or ignorantly,-and in either case he
deserves censuro-misrepresents the position
Of the Shasta Courier. He would make it
appear that the Courier had heretofore acted
with the Ant.Lecompton Party, and had
just at this time given in its adhesion to the
Lecompton organization; whereas that pa
per has all along supported the Leeompton
organization, on the score of regularity" !"
the baselessness of which assumption we have
frequently demonstrated, the regularity be-
ing with the Anti Lecompton side, altogeth-
| er
The true position of the Courier is this; 1t
hurrahs for Douglas but at the same time as
sists his enemies 1t acknowledges the cor
rectness of the doctrines of POPULAR SoYER-
EIGHTY and Neutrality-suspicious., but, at the
same time identifies itself in action, with an
organization thoroughly opposed to both.
We are sorry indeed to see so able and
usually fearless man as Mr. Dosh, of the
Courier, thus circumstanced. We are sorry
to see him dragging the slow length of this
Leeompton chain behind him. His soul is
not in his work His heart is with the Doug
las Party, but some spell is upon him which
he seems unable to break, and he smothers
down the native nobility of his soul in vain
endeavor to serve both God and Mammon-
to be Douglas in theory and Lecompton in
practice
We hope that he will yet burst the bonds
which enthrall him, assert his manhood, and
come forth the bold and able champion that
he ought to be of the true Democracy. lie
receives but slurs and contumely where he is
Lecompton papers denounce him as hybrid
between Broderickism and Black Republi-
canism, and all because he will not add TO his
servitude of Lecomptonism the disgrace of
kissing the fetters that bind him. We do
hope he will be what the country expects of
him, and cease to occupy his present thank-
less position.

TnE SNAKE-Several hundred people went
in, yesterday, to see the great Boa Constrie-
tor on exhibition near the Post Office. His
snakeship was little vicious, at times, and
struck with his head against the glass top
which covers his cage, but il is too thick for
him to break it. Besides he is cooped up in
such way as to be forced to coil himself, to
certain extent, on the bottom, and cannot,
therefore, exert his full strength, which is
evidently monstrous
A great many queer questions are asked in
reference to his serpentine majesty. Numer
GUS persons enquired if the "sarpent was
wenomous" A bystander, ambitious of be-
ing considered wise, responded, "No, he's not
of the pizen kind" The next query would
be, chow does he attact his wictims?" To
which the response of the wiseaere was uni
formly thus; Gle wrops his tail around the
limb of tree and then throws his body upon
his victim, disabling him with the blow-the
gigantic monster then quirls himself once't or
twice't round the victim, karushes his bones
and ribs, slobbers over him little with sali-
va and then swallows him hallip' Wide open
mouths stood agape at this reply, and dilated
eyes "bugged out" some. One great point
with many was to know how much the snake
could eat. Fourteen rabbits at one meal.
Gracious mighty GLOW many times day
does he eat?" "He eats" replied the wise
bystander, who has read natural history, "ht
eats oncet in three weeks" Wide, open
mouths and plugged out" eyes againl
Well, the snake is certainly a very great
curiosity, tremendous in size, formidable in
appearance, and no shadow of humbug about
him.

The MoHAyE TREATY-The Southern Vine
yard gives the following as the substance of
the dispatches received by Gen. Clarke, at
Los Angeles, from Col Hoffman:
Col Hoffman informs Gen. Clarke that at
the appointed hour on the day previous, the
chiefs, to the number of six Of the Mohave
bands of Indians, with large number of
their people, promptly presented themselves
in his camp, and m Ide an unconditional sub
mission. Col. Hoffman then laid down the
following conditions to be rigidly fulfilled and
observed by them. That they must offer no
opposition to the building OF posts or roads
in and through the country by them occu-
pied, and the lives and property of whites,
travelling through their country, must ly
them be held sacred. That they should give
up from each band. one of their own number
to be held as hostages for their good conduct.
That the chief who had commanded the
threatened attack upon Col. Hofman's escort
in January last and three of those engaged
in the attack on the emigrants last summer
must lie delivered up to be dealt with as jus
tce might demand.
They complied with great alacrity with all
the requirements except the last, which they
said could not be, as the Indians who attack
ed the emigrant party were Walu-ples, VINO
had followed them from the interior, and
that only seven Mohaves were engaged in
the attack, and that they were all killed.
They, on being required by Col. Hoffman,
gave up three Indians of their nation to be
sent to Fort Yuma, and await the orders of
Gen Clarke SO ready were the Indians and
the chiefs to submit, that, misunderstanding
the condition of one chief from each tribe,
for all the chiefs but one of all the bands, the
whole number of chiefs, saving one, imme-
diately came forward to surrender themselves.
OF those in the hands of Col. Hoffman,
ncmbering nine individuals, one is princi-
pal chief, two are sons of chiefs, four are
brothers, and two are nephews of chiefs.
They manifested strong desire to be at
peace, and the promptness with which they
they accepted and complied with the de-
mands made upon them, gave indications of
sincerity on their part.
Col Hoffman speaks fatteringly of the SER
vices rendered by Pascual and Jose Maria,
Especially the former) two Yuma chiefs who
accompanied Mr.. Heintzelman Indian Agent,
up the river with the expedition.
