II this be Law, Let us Try and Change it.


The S. F. National of the 27th has an able ar
ticle on the Rights of Naturalized Citizens,
wherein quotations made from the writings
of Judge Kent, (the ablest writer upon American
law this country has produced) to prove that
1.-The European theory is correct, and that a
,atural born citizen cannot renounce his allie
glance without the permission of Govern
4ent, to be declared by law" Judge Kent
tys:
"From this historical review of the principal
discussions in the federal courts on this inter-
esting subject in American jurisprudence, the
better opinion ,could seem 10 BE- that citizen can
not renounce has allegiance to the United States ici
out the permission of Government 10 be declared 6y
lar; and that as there is no e1isttng Legislature
regulation on the case the rule Of the English com
mon latc remains uHaltered."
If this be American doctrine, then it should
be changed at once. We are quite sure it is not
the doctrine heretofore taught as Democratic
Otherwise, why did Democratic Legislature,
last winter, refuse to give DR.. Duncombe his
seat? He was born in the United States-then
became subject of Queen Victoria, and after
wards returned to the United States and was
elected to the Legislature of California by the
people of Sacramento. The Legislature refused
him his seat, however, because he had not been
naturalized. But, if this doctrine of Judge
Kent's be correct, he never lost his citizenship
he never had the power to throw off his allegi-
ance to the American Government-and, there
FORE never having lost his citizenship, could not
become naturalized.
We are happy to say that Gen. Cass breaches
no such doctrine. He no where says that ma
tive American citizen cannot, without permis-
sion of Government, throw off his allegiance,
and become subject to any European Govern
ment He makes no such argument, for the
reason that such argument would force from
him the admission that the European theory is
correct, to wit: that natural allegiance is per-
petual. On the contrary, in his letter of the
10th June last, he says emphatically:
" In the instructions sent to him, Tour Prus-
sian Minister May II, 1859, it was explicitly
stated that this Government opposed the doctrine
of perpetual allegiance aud maintains the right Of
erpatriaton and the right to form political ties
elsewhere. Upon this subject it is observed, that
in this age of the worldr Bas- the idea of con-
trolling the citizen in the choice of a home, and
binding him. by a mere political theory, to in
habit for a lifetime country which he desires
to leave, can hardly be entertained by any Gov
ernment." @Ss5a
The National will here perceive that General
Cass does not support that "better opinion" of
which Judge Kent speaks in his Commentaries

ANOTHER DIscovERY.-A letter from Cairo
says: "The general subject of conversation in
this city is a discovery which has Just been made
by the well known archeologist, NJ Mariette.-
He has found at Thebes, after long and difficult
researches, the tomb, still intact, of Pharoah
Amosis. The king is lying in his coffin, COM
pletely covered with gold leaf, ornamented with
large wings painted on it. Thirty jewels of
great value were found in the same coffin by
the side of the king, as was also Ratchet 0:
gold, ornamented with figures in lapis lazuh.-
Some years ago NJ. Mariette had similar piece
of good fortune in finding in the tomb of Apis
the jewels which now form the principal orna-
ment ofthe Egyptian Museum of the Louvre"

Military Occupation of San Juan Island
by American Troops.

We are informed, on indubitable authority,
that Gen. Harney has ordered detachment of
United States soldiers to take possession of San
Juan Island and to- establish military post
there. This is very important move. twill
be remembered that the treaty yyof 1876 provided
that the line separating the British and Ameri-
Gan Terri. ..Slles should commence on the summit
Vi the Rocky Mountains in latitude 400, to which
point it had previously been brought from the
East, thence run westward with the 49th par
allel to the middle of the Gulf of Georgia, thence
southwark with the main channel to the Straits
of Fuca, and through the middle of those straits
to the ocean, Now it so happens, that between
the point where the line leaves the 49th parallel
and the point where it enters the Straits of Fu-
ca, there is the Archipelago de Haro, through
which several large channels run the two main
ones being the Rosario Strait and the Canal de
Haro. The former is the one most used by yes
sells going from the ocean to the mouth of Fra
ser river, but the later is the wider, though OBJ
structed by some small islets. Both are wide
channels, deep enough for the largest ships
Between them lie a dozen islands, the chief of
which are San Juan, Lopez, and Orcas Islands,
and altogether they may include 200 square
miles of land, or 1880 acres. San Juan Is
land is the most valuable, and has about 10000
acres, much of it good soil, covered with fine
grass Ine brltlsn assert tnat the rosario STRAIT
IS the "main channel meant by the treaty; and
the Americans say the Canal de Haro is meant;
and the settlement of that dispute will determine
who is to be the owner of the islands. Some
British subjects already occupy San Juan Island
as sheep pasture. Gen. Harney now intends to
take possession, and as he probably does it by
order of the Administration, we may understand
that the watchword is 1.-THE Canal de Haro, or
fight" We trust that it will end more credita-
bly, to our politicians than did Fifty four forty,
or 6ght."-Alta.

VIoToR EMANUEL AND THE ZoUAvEs-At the
battle ofPalestro Victor Emanuel, King of Sar-
dlna and Lombardy, behaved with such daring
gallantry, that the Zouaves frequently entreated
him to retire, to which the King turned a deaf
ear, and still advanced into the thickest of the
fight. This SO excited the highest admiration
of the Zouaves that they exclaimed-we trans
late from the Eco Della Pafria-' What devil
of felowl He is not King, be is Zouave p
And the better to show their appreciation and
admiration of his personal prowess, named him,
Corporal of the Zouaves," title bestowed up
on the First Napoleon by the Guard, and of
which be was almost as proud as that of En-
peror. 1t however shows that Zouaves faith in
the personal courage of kings was not of the
highest order until compelled by Victor Eman-

CLUB HOUSE GIN.
TO THE PUBLIC.

I'M S CELEBRATED GIN-pretending to
4 nothing but what it is, viz pure and un-
adulterated article, and assuming no artificial
merits OF what it is not, some of its rival im-
tators do-after five years of public approval
and very extensive sales in California, has been
pronounced by the public to be SUPERIOR not on
ly as beverage of general use, to any other ar
ticle competing against it, bnt is
Unrivaued in it's Medical Efficiency
IN most cases of complaint. To persons travel
ing in these days of rapid transit from East to
West North to South, who are constantly chang
ing their water as well as their climate; who are
drinking, indeed, dozen kinds of water in ev-
cry twenty-four hours, and each draft contain
ing some property acting in chemical antagonism
to the preceding one, thereby causing an unnat-
ural degree of excitement to the stomach-it is
positively and absolutely necessary to use a
counteracting agent. From the fact that the
"LOndOn Club House Gin"
IS prepared expressly to meet such exigencies;
and to act as we know it will act, as an anti
dote, we confidently prescribe it as the very best
article in the country. The name of Aromatic
Scheidam Schnapps" has never been attached
in any way to this article. In first presenting
the
"LOndon Club House Gino
to the public, my aim was to give them a pure
and unadulterated article of Gin, and to call it
by its right name. The success attending its
Introduction and extensive sale in California is
a sufficient guarantee of the high appreciation
of the article by consumers.
Various parties have from time to time nut IN
and shipped to California an article which they
call Club House Gin" My Gin, which has
gained such reputation in California, is brand

smile of my signature. ] caution all parties to

On turning the "poor leaf" there was found

LIVING IN CALFoRNIA.-At present there is
scarcely country habitation in California which
is not surrounded by heavily laden fruit trees,
and yet taking the operations of last year as an
indication, we may safely predict that the fruit
will be permitted to rot where it grows before
the owners will agree to sell it for reasonable
price. The old, inflated notion of California
prices Immediately seizes upon every man who
mas anything for sale, and he will see you blest
before he will sell it for less than three or four
times as much as it is worth in other countries
This is an absurd idea, which results in actual
detriment to the people. The price of living in
California is greatly disproportionate to the
price of labor, and the sooner change takes
place in the prices of eatables of every Kind, the
better 1t will be for our state. The idea of
laoorer having to pay two bits for two or three
peaches, when he can only obtain ten or fifteen
collars per week for bis work. is simply -idicu-
ious, and we never can expect our poor people to
prosper until those who have fruit and vegeta-
pies for sale are willing to bring them to market
for a areasonable compensation, instead of letting
them rot where they grow.-Placerville Observer.
