AHARD CAsE.-A respectable farmer named
Phair, living in the neighborhood of San Jose,
was arrested last week, upon charge OF
horse stealing. upon the complaint it is be-
lieved, OF the notorious Louis Mahony, who
was expelled from San Francisco, by the
Vigilance Committee The San Jose Tele-
graph of Wednesday, has the following in
regard to the matter:
Mahonv. it will be remembered, was ex
pelIed from San Francisco 10y the Vigilance
Committee; and after his return to the State,
was sent to the penitentiary for crime com
nitted. His wife, who was an industrious,
enternrising woman, considered the marriage
tie dissolved bv the conviction of her hus-
band of crime and Incarceration in the State
Prison. ns mch as if formal divorce had
been deereed, and accordingly married Phair,
who it seems, was entirely ignorant of the
relationship between his wife and the noto-
rious Mahony. Mahony escaped from prison
few weeks ago, md having traced out the
history of his wife since his confinement
sought her in Santa Clara county He was
arrested in San Jose and sent back; but to
gratiiy, rs we think, his vengeance against
Phair procured warrant to be issued
against him, charging Phair with having sto
len horse in or near Napa some two years
ago

You've MEN's CHRISTIAN AssocfATroN.-We e
have received the Sixth Annual Report Of this
Association in San Francisco. The Society
seems to be well founded, and mnnifests
strong opposition to "Popery" 1t appears
to be Of the opinion that the Roman Catholic
Religion is very rapidly gaining ground in
the United States, and very much deprecates
the progress which it is making. The Socie
ty, therefore. is making every exertion tc
create a moral power which will effectually
extinguish the flame of Catholicism in thi,
part fthe world
The opinion is freely avowed that the
Catholic Church is opposed to religious free
dom; that is to say. that it is not in favor Of
tolerating other religions. There is no par
ticular proof offered that this is true. but we
apprehend that the Protestant religion has
nothing TO fear from Romish intolerance as
long as the present Constitution of the Uni
ted States exists After that is overthrown,
u makes but little difference with the Ameri.
can People what happens.

GERMAN BENEVOLENT SocfErY.-The late

A LARGE FIsH-On Wednesday, a monster
sen bass. the lsrgest probably ever seen or
heard of, was tnken in the harbor at San Fran
cisco, under the following circumstances, as
told 10y the Herald:
Five gentleman, viz: two of the name Of
Howes, two named Spencer and Capt W ood
took a small boat and went on fishing eX-
cursion between Goat Island and Contra Cos
tn shore. Their attention was suddenly ex-
cited by an enormous fish, which was near
the boat, and made for it as if to make an at
tack He was, however, saluted with n
charge of shot from a double harreled gun, in
the hat ds of Mr.. Hawes, of the firm of Elan
k Halves, Clay street. which took effect in
his tail The fish disappeared. but soon after
rose again and approached the boat, when
Mr.. Hawes fired another charge, which struck
the monster in the gillS and put period to
his existence. Before he could sink a slip
moose was passed over his tail and he was
taken in tow. The successful fishermen only
reached this city with their woDdrous prize
after deal of hard labor. 1t is very rare
thet black sea bass has been known to
weigh over so or 80 pounds. and some idea
of the monstrous proportions of this fish may
be obtained from the following measure
ments, showing his dimensions: His weight
was $50 pounds, length from tip of nose to
end Of tail seven feet and one inch breadth
round the shoulders, thckest part, five feet
two inches; length from tip of nose to end Of
jaw covering the gills. two feet four inches ;
circumference of mouth when braced open,
three feet two inches; spread of tail from tip
to tip, two feet three inches.

CHINESE TRIoKEEY.-We alluded. the other
day, to the arrest of Chinese woman. named
Qui Cum, 10y Chinaman named Ii Ki on
a charge of stealing $3.50 in money and a
gold ring. We expressed the opinion at the
time that it was mere trick of III Ki to re-
cover possession Of Qui Cum who had been
his slave according to Chinese custom, and
who was lost to him on account of her mar
riage with Celestial whose name we had
not learned. 1t seems that, since that time,
the husband himself has been arrested on the
same charge, and is now held in custody il
Oroville The object would appear to be- OF
the part of III Ki, under this new scheme o
his. to have Qui Cum discharged, while hel
husband yet remains in custody, so as to en-
able him, I'll Ki, to spirit her away, and re
duce her to servitude, as before
1t is very eunningy arranged scheme
but we are of opinion that it will be seen in
TO by the tribunals having cognizance of the
case.

SennlorinI Annointment.

Some persons still suppose that Governor
Weller will make an appointment to fill the
Senatorial interim, of the Broderick term,
between this and the action Of the incoming
legislature. They say that he has not posi-
lively refused to appoint, although he has in
timated disnelnotion to do so, and that he
will probably make up his mind by the 25th
instant.
1t is to be hoped that he will come to his
senses by that time, and make the appoint
ment. A straight forward, fearless course is
what the people demand of him, and he has
no business to trihe with the public interest,
on account of any little matter Of policy in
the forwarding of his own personal advan-
tage. There is a vacancy in the Senate, and
it ought to be filed The State should be
fully and not partially represented. She
should have her full number of votes on all
questions. and Governor Weller has no right
to deprive her of that voice, in order to ad-
vance his own little schemes for the Senator
ship. Ills hesitancy in this matter is begin
ming to look very pitiful. and he is losing
friends by it, every day. Tie plain path Of
duty is before him and he seems afraid to fol-
low it, lest it destroy his chances for election
to the Senate, as the successor of Mr.. Broder
ick. lie seems afraid that, by appointing one
Of the applicants, he will offend the balance,
and that they will then work for his defeat
Suppose, it were true,-why should an hon
est public man hesitate to do his duty under
any circumstances
We think, however, that this result need
not necessarily follow. Gov. Weller could
easily appoint man who is in no manner
connected with any of the cliques or factions
now laboriag each to supplant the other in
the ranks of the Lecompton party. In flct,
he could well be excused for this by all the
parties interested, inasnuch as his position
would be recognized to be a delicate one, and
u desire to offend no one of the divisions of
the party be duly appreciated by ALL
AT any rate, the public sentiment demands
the appointment, and, if it is not made, Gov.
Weller will be considered recreant to the re-
sponslbilities of his position.

J. G. BAXTER, Custom House truck driver,
was arraigned on Thursday in the San Fran
cisco Police Court, on charge of assault and
battery upon Joseph Collins. The latter is
an empoye of the steamer Forwood, and was
in charge of certain goods at the steamer
which Baxter wished to take to the Ap-
praisers store. paper of that city has
the following in regard to the matter:
Collins refused to allow the goods to be
taken, unless a receipt was given. He took
hold of the truck horses head to prevent
them from being taken. when Baxter struck
him several times in the forehead with the
butt of his whip, making n severe wound
The first blow stunned Collins, and Baxter
still gave him a few in addition
A question arose, in the course of the case,
as to whether the goods were legally in the
possession of Collins or the Custom House Of
ticers, and to ascertain this fully the matter
was continued until to morrow.

H. W. FIcKERsoILL.-Wc regret very much
to state that the insanity of this Justly es
teemed young man is not yet relieved On
Thursday night, he was in a raving delirium
which lasted till morning. The cause of this
mental eclipse is variOnsly conjectured. Some
attribute itt ball received in a portion of
the head during the Nicaraguan foray un-
der Gen. Walker; Others to sudden pros
tration Of the nervous system Under some un.
explained mental distress. The misfortune
is deeply regretted by very many Of our citi
zans who have known Mr. PickergilI for a
series of years and have regarded him highly
as an honest, industrious and energetic young
man.
We hope for the best. but greatly fear thai
the insanity is confirmed.

that they were going to be gone only for a

A Card.


Wear sorry that necessity compels us t. ap.
peal to the public in answer to an article which
appeared in Thursdays DEMOCRAT, headed
Row in the Coored Baptist Church." As
Church we are averse to controversy par
tcularly in the public prints, but duty to
those who kindly assisted in building our
House of Worship, demands refutation Of
the ISLANDERS imposed upon the DEMOCRAT by
its informant.
The meeting alluded to, was called for the
settlement of difficulties between some of the
members, and not for the consideration of
financial matters as the informant of the DEN.
ocRAT intimates, though since he has made
that charge it is well to say few words on
the subject. In the first place, he knew moth
ing whatever Of the monetary affairs of the
Church, except from hearsay, for the simple
reason that he can neither read nor write,
and since the publication of the SANDER we
have instituted thorough investigation Of
the matter, and are happy to inform our
friends and the public that the result was
most satisfactory. Secondly the preachers
wife has been a strict member Of the church
for eleven years and eight months, and a
member of this church long enough to fully
entitle her to a vote according to our rules.
As to the charge of violence. that is too ri
diculous to deserve even passing denial
There is not one shadow of truth in the whole
of his statement.
The cause of this attack arises from a re-
vengeful spirit, the author of it having been
recently suspended from the Association for
falsehood.
We trust that our friends will view this
matter in the proper light On behalf of the
Congregation. SAML, I. WEBSTER, Secy.
