ESTATE OF SENATOR BRoDERICK.-We learn
from the San Francisco papers, that David G.
Cotton has filed petition before the Probate
Court Of that city, for letters to administer up
on the estate of Senator Broderick. He sets
forth that the property of the deceased consists
OF real estate, valued ct $1ae, ,Oos; end that bis
only relatives and heirs-at-lav are Edmund
Welch and Lucy Brown, cousins in the second
degree. The principal creditors Of the deceas-
ed and the alleged heirs assent to the appoint
ment of Cotton as administrator, and the latter
both make oath that they are second cousins of
Mr.. Broderick. The petition sets forth that due
search and inquiry have been made to ascertain
if Mr.. Broderick left any will, but none has
been found, and il it ia believed that he died in
testate.

SENATORIAL.

Numerous aspirants are already In the field
for the Senator al vacancy, and there is pros
pect Of fierce contest before the next Legisla-
ture for the position. Denver and Weller ap-
pear to be the most prominent candidates, the
former being supported by the high chivalry,
and the latter by the more conservative Le-
comptonites. 1t is our opinion that Denver is
the most suitable colleague that could be Sc.
lected for DR.. Gwin. Being intensely section
al, narrow-minded, of aristocratic tendencies,
sufficiently non-committal never to express a
decided opinion Of his own, he would suit the
Administration to dot, and be an able assist
ant in carrying out the schemes Of the senior
Senator. His voice would never be heard ad-
vocating any measure that was likely to bene-
dt the people at large, but his vote could al
ways be relied on for creating new officers and
increasing the pay Of those that already hold
Federal appointments. Weller, on the con-
trary, has the habit Of occasionally speaking
bis opinions, and though he generally manages
to get right in the end, still there is reassn to
fear that if crowded too far he might acciden-
tally kick out Of the traces altogether. Both
Of these gentlemen are sound upon Lime Point,
the one having used his oficia! influence 10 in
duce the government to purchase thst noted
locality, and the other having advocated the
purchase during the late canvass before the
people of this State. Weller. therefore. has no
advantage over Denver on this question. Some
unsophsticated individuals may object to send
ing man to the q. S. Senate who has sup
po rted scheme for swindlng the government
out of two hundred thousand dollars for the
benefit Of gang of unprincipled spectators,
but when we reflect that the people have just
elevated to the Gubernatorial chair On honest
gentleman who endeavored TO bribe the Su-
preme Court, the fact of having supported the
scheme of the Lime Point swindlers is rather
recommendation than otherwise.
As Congress meets month earlier than our
Legislature, the duty will devolve upon Gov.
Weller Of appointing Senator to act until the
Legislature can elect man for the vseaney.
The names of several hundred gentlemen have
been mentioned as likely to get this appoint
ment, and it has also been suggested that no
appointment should be made. It is true the
appointed Senator would only hold his seat for
a few weeks at the beginning of the session, and
his services could be of little use either TO this
State or the country at large; but then he would
draw several thousand dollars 10 mileage, and
as there are hundreds Of seedy politicians in
the State who need the money, it will doubtless
0o into some of their pockets

WORTHY OF TRIAL.-The San Juan Press re-
lates an interesting experiment of W. S. Day,
near that place which is worthy of general no.
toe and trial in similar cases:
The shaft lending TO tunnel having become
choked up with earth and water, he half filed
quicksilver tank with powder, attached to It a
piece Of safety fuse, stopped the mouth Of the
tank so that it would not admit water, lighted
the end of the fuse which he had ascertained
would burn in water, aud then dropped the
tank into the shaft. Immediately upon sinking
to the earth it exploded, and the water above
Offering greater resistance than the soft earth
and gravel below, the entrance TO the tunnel
was at once cleared. Attempts to clear choked
up shafts by taking hose aud pipe into the tun
nels with which they connect, has heretofore
caused the loss of several valuable lives, aud
for this reason it is to be hoped the simple ex-
pertinent we have described will be thoroughly
tested. There is but little reason to doubt that
it will be uniformly successful thus not only
preserving life, but saving much time and mo-
ney.

FATAL RENcoUNrER.-A man named Wm
Harrison, was killed at Six Mile Bar, Calave.
ras county, on the 22d, inst, by man named
John Jones. The Knights Ferry Bee of the
Gath gives the following account of the homi-
eide:
Harrison entered the cabin of Jones, situated
at the upper end of the village, about ii o.
clock on the night mentioned, and INDUCED 10
violent abuse of the latter by epithetical Ian
guage, and at the same time upsetting and
kicking over whatever be could see in the way
of furniture, etc. Jones requested him to de-
the request, until Jones, becoming incensed,
shot him with gun, killing him on the spot.
We learn that Jones went to Mokelumne Hill
to give himself up to the officers Of the law.

FIRE AT MONTE CRIsTo.-A destructive fire
occurred at Monte Cristo, Sierra county, on
the 10th inst, and the greater portion of the
town was destroyed. The losses are estimated
at about 100000. The entire business portion
of the town, with the exception of one nre-proof
building, was destroyed, about seventy-6ve
dwelling houses were burned, and many fami-
lies were left without shelter. The citizens
of Downieville held meeting, on receiving the
intelligence of the fire, and measures were i'm
medately adopted for the relief Of the sufferers.

Bound OvER.-Judge Terry was brought TO
San Francisco on Friday evening last, in charge
Of the Sheriff Of San Joaquin county. He sp-
peared before Judge Blake the next day and
gave bonds in the sum of $4,000, to answer to
the charge Of fighting duel. 1t appears that
the warrant for Terry's arrest was issued by
Judge Blake on the 18th inst, Ihe day Of Sena-
tor Broderick's death. The duel was fought in
San Mateo county, but so near the line Of San
Francisco that the case can be tried in either
county.

A rronumeut 10 Broder,ck.

The friends of the late Senator Broderick are
taking measures to erect suitable monument
70 his memory. 1t is proposed that the mons
ment should be erected on the public plaza Of
San Francisco, but as yet no definite arrange
ments have been made in regard to the matter.
In the San Francisco papers Of Saturday we
notice call signed by large number Of the
most respectable men of the city, including ma
ny of the leading business firms, for q meeting
to be held last Monday evening, to effect an Or
ganization to carry out this object.
San Francisco is the proper place to give
form to this movement, and whatever arrange
ments are made there will be Immediately Sec
onded in other parts Of the State. The thou
sands of devoted and unselfsh friends of Mr..
Broderick, who revered him while living will
not fail to rear monument to his memory,
now that he is dead. While they mourn his
untimey death, and feel and know that his loss
is irreparable, they will contribute literally of
their means to do honor to his memory. Let
the monument go up, that posterity may know
how much the mau Of the people was adored
and respected in his own day.
We learn that it is the intention of the friends
Of the late Senator, in this county, to call a
meeting for the purpose of aiding in the move
ment. The meeting will be held as soon as the
necessary steps are taken below, 30 that there
may be concert Of action.

MAzATLAN ExILEs.-The schooner Guilet.a,
which sailed some time since from San Fran
cisco. having on board number of Mexican
exiles, bound for San Bias, returned to the first
named place last Wednesday. The Captain
states that on arriving at San Bias, the Libe-
rails, who were in power there, took the exiles
aud sent them to Mazatlan, and confscated the
schooner for bringing them back to Mexico II
is thought that the exiles will be executed at
Mazatlan, as they were under sentence Of DEATH
or some of them at least, when they we're
brought away from there to San Francisco.

FTRE.-On Monday, between l and O'Clock,
P. NJ, our attention was attracted to an i'm
mense volume Of dense, black smoke, rising
above the tops of the mountains east of this
place. 1t was due east, and while we feel sat-
islied that a destructive fire was raging, we
were at loss to determine where it was. Some
fears are entertained that the Sulphur Spring
Hotel is again in ruins Our hopes. however,
suggest more pleasing solution of the indca-
tlons in the possibility that large amount of
dry timber, somewhere on the mountains be-
tween here and there, was burning.-Santa Rosa
