Oregon a State

The Overland Mail brings the gratifying
information that Oregon has been admitted
into the Uncn Of States, and is now one of
the sovereig gnties of the confederacy. 1t
will be recollected that bill to this effect
passed the Senate at the last session of Con-
gress but was not brought up in the House
before the final adjournment. From the de-
lay in takirg up the bill this winter, it was
feard that Oregon was doomed to further
season of delay, but finally on the 18th of
February, the bill came up and met with a
stubborn resistance from the Republican
side of the House. They endeavored to clog
the bill by amultitude of amendments, all of
which were promptly voted down. A mo-
ton from Washburn, of Maine that the
whole subject be tabled, was voted down by
ayes "a, noes l24. A decisive vote at length
being reached, the bill passed in the shape it
came from the Senate, bya vote of ia in
favor, and lO3 against it, in the midst of ap-
plause and confusion. The Black Republi-
cans voted almost in body against the adj
mission. The President approved the bill
the same day and in the evening the admis-
sion was duly celebrated. Speeches of con
graduation were made by President Bu-
chanan, Vice President Breckenridge, Gen.
Lane, of Oregon and others.
This is good news for Oregon-it is good
news for California 1t gives the Pacific
coast an additional strength Of representation
in Congress, that must exercise beneficial
influence in our favor. 1t also brings an adj
ditonal per centage of strength to a Pacific
Railroad movement of no small Importance;
and on this account California has cause to
rejoice with Oregon. Thirty three indepen-
dent sovereenties now compose the Federal
Union, and another link has been adde to
the chain of empire in the golden West;
and manifest destiny" unerringl y points to
others commonwealths ere long to follow in
giving strength to American power, and adj
ditional luster to Ameri an enterprise and
greatness.
The admission of Oregon is truly theme
of congratulaton to the people of this coast;
bet what will be thought and what shall be
said of the Republican party that used its
power to prevent this happy consunlmation?
They have earned condemnation that will
not be slow in coming.

His Fist in the Treasury.

j. w. Scobey, late bogus candidate for
county Clerk in this county. and the publish
ed editor of bogus sheet printed in the
town of Auburn, has succeeded after several
attempts, in procuring the passage of res
olution by the Assembly to allow him $500
for services as Reading Clerk. This resou-
ton or one for larger amount, had twice
before been voted down by that body; but
the chase was "not to be given up 50" and
the third time Joseph "made the rifle
1t does not appear that Mr. Scobey's ser
vices were engaged by the House or the
Chief Clerk, but in the language of one Of
the members he seems to have caronched in
the Clerks desk as if he had a pre- emption
claim to the premises. The member did not
seem to understand how it was that a man
could so coolly occupy place at the Clerks
desk, and make hmseIfgenerally useful, with
out any one engaging his valuable aid. The
unsophisticated Assemblyman did not make
due allowance for Brass
We confess to considerable amusement at
the potent argument of member favoring
this 5000 resolution. He said the House was
in honor bound to pay this money as much as
if they had contracted with Mr. Scobey to
be Reading Clerk-they had received the
benefit Of his services and therefore he was
entitled to his pay. Indeed! surely Daniel
has come to judgment. Suppose twenty or
fifty other Scobeys had forced their unhired
services upon the Assembly, according to
this reasoning they would in all honor have
to be paid from the State Treasury. This
is the logical deduction to be made from the
brilliant argument. That member is an il
lumnator
We cannot account for the complaisanct
Of the Assembly in allowing this most un
just claim, unless it be they found Scobey
voice was a better article than possessed by
the other clerks. But if they wanted t(
pay for poice why not procure bell-ringer
who cries lost children and auctions, the
tones of any one Of whom would awake
the echoes from cellar to dome of the
capitol.
We are pleased to observe that the entire
Placer delegation, who fully understand thu
value of Scobey and his services voted agains
the 5000 resolution.
Scobey's political bed-fellows up this way
have conceived big disgust at his persis
tence in hanging on for crumbs from Leg
islature whose political majority is of those
he waged war against during the last can
vass. They are sure that is improper, not a
all digniiied, and very much to the dispar
agement of the standing of the Bogusit.

A BRUTAL MURDER AT DUTCH FLAT.-

A BRUTAL MURDER AT DUTCH FLAT.---
A man who gives his name as Joseph Ma
poeou Moirs, a swede, was brought from
Dutch Flat and put in the Jail at this
place, on Wednesday, for the committal of
brutal murder on the previous day. The
particulars concerning the murder, we learn
to be in substance as follows: The man
Moirs applied to Mr.. Wilson, the keeper Of
a boarding house at Dutch Flat a few weeks
ago for employ ment until such time as there
would be water in the vicinity for mining
purposes, when he expected to obtain con-
slant work. Mr.. Wilson did not need his
services, but finally gave him permission to
STAY and do work about the house, for his
board and lodging, which he gladly accepted.
Lately Mr.. Wilson has been unwell, keeping
his bed portion of the time, and on last
Tuesday, while lying in bed, Mors went to
him with bill Of several weeks work, at
the rate of four dollars per day, and deman-
ded payment. This was refused. Subse
quently, he went again, and asked for twenty
dollars, but it was not paid him. lie went
away, and after an absence of some time re-
turned to Mr.. Wilson's room, and finding
him asleep, deliberately drew sheath knife,
such as is used by sailors, and cut him fatal
wound across the abdomen; and then covering
his victim with the bed clothes left the house.
Mr.. Wilson, although having received his
death wound, was enabled to apprise the in
mates of the house of his condition; and the
alarm soon spreading, the citizens of the
town became infuriated against the fendish
murderer but he having been secured by
Constable Bloom and Mr.. Samuel Fair, was
brought Immediately to the Auburn Jail and
safely incarcerated.
Mr.. Wilson died, from the effects Of the
wound, on Wednesday.
Moirs appears perfectly unconcerned about
this dreadful affair. He is a man about fifty
years of age, and bears numerous scars upon
his person.

CoLLAPsED.-The opposition line of steam
boats between San Francisco and Sacramento,
that was promised few days since, and
partly gotten under way, seems to have
weakened already. The steamers have stop
ped, and the public are left in bissful igno-
rance as to the time when there will be an
honest competition. 1t is fact, that years
have served to establish, that it is all humbug
to expect an opposition to last long against
the Steam Navigation Company. That cor
poration will buy off opposition; and unfor-
tunately the oppostions have always been
buyabe.
