ADVOCATE or THE POOR.-Asscmblyma Lull
has offered bill to "enable persons having no
money to commence and maintain civil actions. "
This we esteem q most important and just legis-
lative step. A man with no money is scarcely
recognizable in our courts, except by courtesy
However much he may have suffered in violation
of his rights, whore complaint is made to petty
court, he is required to advance costs and fees,
and in default he goes away to borrow the money
or to abandon quest of justice. We have before
remarked the exhorbtant price demanded for
judicial action. Justice has become an usurer,
blind as grareworm, until vision is assisted by
golden spectaces-not that courts are corrupt or
officers unfaithful; but too much money is requi-
red to poise the scales; clerks sherifs attorneys
and every part Of legal machinery, require too
much to set them going. Attorneys fees are, of
course private contract, but if other costs were
correspondingly reduced, their services could be
obtained for less
When a sheriff or clerk of court is elected or
Justice of the Peace, the poorest mans vote
assists as much as any otber and having equally
assisted, he has right to demand equal service
in return. If his neghbor pays more by taxa
tion, to support Of county or State government,
that neighbor isindemnifed by greater privileges
than the other. If he occupy q larger area of
land he has right to pay for displacing others;
if he possess large circle of trade, he can afford
to be taxed for the privilege. But when we come
to the equalization Of right, the man of Gfty
thousand must not pilO his taxreceipts in his side
Of the scale; there is aristocracy in republican
government; before the village justice, and at
the chief tribunal OF State, the poor plaintiff
should have equal place, as he has at the ballot
box and in the battle.
We think Mr.. Lull has originated measure
which will entitle him to the gratitude of thou
sands who, under oppression, linger on the
courthouse doorstep and turn away despondent,
saying. the plOwers plowed upon my back, and
long their burrows drew"

DESPERATE FIGnr.-Two gamblers Peel and
Rucker, from st. Louis, had quarrel at Cedar
Valley, Utah, about playing false card they
went out to fight and both fell at the first fire ;
they continued to shoot, nearly every shot taxi
ing effect, until Peel, wounded in six places rose
upon his elbow and taking rest against his arm,
shot Rucker through the heart.

Tmy1L.--The Senate has passed a resolution
requesting Mr.. Broderck to resign his seat in the
United States Senate. Such conduct is very

importance as to be induced to believe that if
they were to go to Washington in a body with
such request, Broderick would dignity their
petition with more than a sneer? His h0nors
were too dearly and laboriously bought to be
resigned on such slight request People will

G'wN on THE PACIFIC RAmRoAD-Our vene-

drawn the Pacific Railroad bill from the tail of
his coat, and made speech; the speech is very
good, but it is too much like graveyard gas esca-
ping from the throat Of corpse; it amounts to
nothing but words-it is a bubble only, exploding
on the slough of hypocracy. We know this ven
cradle declaimer; We are kept in mind of his
Lime Point enormity; we are convinced Of his
completely in the Pacific Mail conspiracy to steal
from and defraud honest labor-we know that he
secured the charter for the pirates, and that he
was paid for the service. We are, also, aware
that he has newspapers in his service, whose duty
it is to cry Great and Glorious" whenever the
old man " opes his MOUTH newspapers edited
and published by persons whom Gwin suspcnds

stairs of the Custom House by the facial promon-
tory, or take down the spread eagle Of "By

is multiplicity of words, When acts contradict
each syllable? Speeches are easily written, OF
procured. Judas, for aught we know, may have
made magnificent grafton on Friendship and
Fidelity while his victim writhed on the cross.
In every instance when the Pacific Railroad bill
might have been advanced, Gwin, the reputed
father, has been absent: like the begetter Of an
illegtimate child, the father hid himself at the
commencement of labor-pans.
We tell the people that this Pacific Railroad
talk is humbug; it is mere clatter, to draw
popular attention from shameless robbery on the
ocean, in which this garrulous old man is party.
With a bankrupt Treasury t0ho will build the
railroad DO you expect to live until the Pacific
Railroad is finished are you simple enough to
hope for escape from death till it is commenced
through the agency of Senator Gwin? If so,
we deplore the remoteness Of lunatic hospitals.

He insisted upon the Prefect respecting his

the flag staff erected over the COnsuPs Office
to be run up, and informed the Prefect that
it should not be taken down without fight,
and it was left undisturbed.
Gov. Pesqueria arrived few days after
when Capt. Porter waited on him, but not
understanding Spanish, and Pesqueria not
speaking English, the interview was very
unsatisfactory.
Capt. Porter entered protest in the
name Of his government against the treat
ment received by Capt Stones party, and
would probably be present to aid Capt Ew-
