supreme Court Reports.

Mr.. Young has introduced bill into the As
sembly, to amend the act creating the Office Of
Supreme Court Reporter, go that that officer
may hereafter have no difficulty in procuring
the records to make up his reports. 1t gives
the Reporter the privilege to take from the
Clerks Office of the Supreme Court the original
opinions at any time when the Clerk is not en-
gagged in copying them, and also the transcript
and briefs in each case, together with the pa
pers necessary to the discharge Of his duties, for
the purpose of making up bis reports. The
papers so taken are not to be removed from
Sacramento city, and the Clerk is liable on his
official bond in case he refuses to comply with
the request of the Reporter.
In view of the late unprecedented action Of
the Clerk and Judges, in refusing to deliver
she papers aud decisions to the Reporter, an
act of this kind has become necessary. The
action of the Judges and Clerk in this case,
seems to have been dictated by petty malice
towards Mr.. Lee. The latter was appointed by
the Legislature of 1858 Reporter Of the Su-
preme Court; no fault has been found with the
manner in which he has discharged the duties
of the Office, but two Of the Judges-Baldwin
and Field-being anxious to give the position
to some favorite of their own, endeavOred to
get Lee removed. But the present Legislature
refused to remove him, and the Judges, vexed
because the Legislature would not submit to
their dctation endeavor to throw obstacles in
the way, and prevent il possible the reporter
discharging his duty.
A few months ago, the people had every con-
idence in the integrity and honesty of the Su-
preme Bench, but that confidence is rapidly on
the Wane,

Close OF the Thirty-ffth Congress.

The term of the Thirty-fifth Congress expired
by limitation, on the 4th ut. The act of last
session, authorizing the issue of Treasury notes,
was continued in force two years longer and
another issue Of twenty millions Of notes was
authorized previous to the adjournment Moth
ing was done in the way of modifying the tar
if, and no action taken to increase the revenue
The appropriation bils-with the exception OF
the Post ofice-were passed; but in nearly all
cases, the amount appropriated was much less
than the estimates of the several departments
A disposition was very generally manifested
by members of Congress to cut down the ex-
travagant expenditures, which have heretofore
been used for political and corrupt purposes.
The Post Office appropriation failed on ac-
count of point of etiquette having arisen be-
tween the two Hoases. 1t appears, however,
that tho appropriation for the California ocean
mail service was passed, by being tackled on to
an Indian appropriation bill.
Unless an extra session is called, the con-
tractors will have TO carry the mails on credit
after the 1st of July, or the mail service must
be suspended At the latest dates from Wash
ington, the President had not certainly deter
mined on what course he would pursue, but
the probability is that an effort will be made to
have the mails carried on credit from the first
of July until the meeting of the next Congress.
If an extra session is called a number of States
will be unrepresented, aud the mileage of men,

tion of the Federal Treasury cannot well be

ST.. PATRICK's DAY.-When the editor of the
Journal undertook to show bis erudition by cor
recting an error that appeared in the DEMOCRAT,
we retorted. by alludng to some errors of his
own, and among others. the statement Of the
Irish having celebrated the birth of St. Patrick
In the last issue of that paper, a half column is
devoted to this subject. and though it does not
say SO directly, it endeavors to leave the i'm
preston that the 18th Of March is regarded as
the birthday of st. Patrick, and says that it
rests upon US to demonstrate that the com.
monty received opinion on this point is errone-
ous." Now the commonly received opinion''
is the only question at issue in this case, aud
We shall not attempt TO prove that it is either
correct or "erroneous !" but we deny that the
l7th of March is commonly" regarded as the
birth day Of st. Patrick. Irish tradition has as
signed the 18th OF March as the day Of ST. Pat
riok's death. Whether or not this tradition i,
correct is matter of no consequence; but
those who celebrate the day, regard it as the
anniversary Of st. Patrck's death.

EXPLOSION AND Loss OF LIFE-An explosion
occurred on board the steamer Contra Costa
while crossing the Bay, last Sunday morning.
She was just ahead of the steamer Oakland,
and the passengers had nearly oil rushed to the
stern to watch the latter steamer, when the ex-
plosion took place. The forward part of the
boat was blown to atoms five or six persons
were killed, and twenty or thirty badly scalded.
some of whom are not expected to live. 1t is
reported that the two boats were racing at the
time Had not the passengers mostly been at
the stern of the boat at the time of the explo-
sion, the loss of life would have been much
greater. The killed, az far as known. are Jos
II osler, an employee of the Mint ; Mr.. Cady, of
the U. S. Surveyors Office Mr.. Foster, and
one other name unknown. Geo. Smith, the
bar-keeper, was badly scalded. and is reported
to have died. Quite number of ladies were on
board. and after the exp losion, great difficulty
was had in keeping them from jumping into
the water. .p..E

Barbarous Treatment Of Sailors.

A shocking case of barbarous and cruel treat.
ment of sailors is now pending before the U. S.
Courts at San Francisco. The American bark
Sarah Park, Capt. Ephraim Pendletou, arrived
at that port last Wednesday, from Cardiff,
Wales. The next day, Capt. Pendleton made
complaint against two of his men for petit lar
ceny. and they were arrested by the U. S. Mar
shal and brought before the Commissioner. The
two men, when brought to the Marshal's Office
presented such horrible appearance as to at
once attract the attention of the U. S. officials.
They we're dreadfully marked with the cat, and
their emacated frames told tale of extreme
suffering and cruelty. On being questioned,
they stated that while on the voyage, being de-
MED sufficient food, they stole some biscuit, and
for this offense they were numerically 1ogged;
they also stated that one sailor had died, and
another then on board the ship had become idi-
otic in consequence of cruel treatment. Capt.
Pendleton was Immediately arrested, and the
case was examined the next day before the U
S. Commissioner From the testimony of the
second mate, it appears that the crew were put
on short allowance while off Cape Horn, al
though there were plenty of fprovisions on board
A number Of the sailors stole biscuits, for which
they were fogged by the captain until theil
backs and sides were cut to pieces, in which
condition buckets of brine were thrown over
them. In consequence Of these repeated fog
gings, and other cruelties inflicted by the Cap.
tain, one sailor, Frank Williams, had died, an
other named jackson had lost his reason
Three of the sailors were sent to the m arine hos
pital. and of about dozen others who were
brought into Court as witnesses, not one could
walk straight, so weak and emacated had they
become from starvation and repeated beatings
Pendleton was committed to Jail in default O
$25, 900 bail.
Capt. Pendleton says that the crew were {
miserable scum Of Russians and Welch tha
they were mutinous. and compelled him to re
sort to measures of extreme severity to pre-
serve discipline that they dsobeyed his orders

go, aud fought among themselves and thai
their present horrid condition is more owing t
terrible fights among themselves in the fore
castle, than to any other cause.
From the evidence taken on the examination
it appears that the sailors were mostly worth
less set but they could not be guilty of such
conduct as to justify the Captain in inflictinQ
upon them such cruel and inhuman punishment

NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 6, 1859.

q MEETING OF THE CENTRAL CoMMIrTEE.-By a
notice above II will be seen that the Democrat
ic State Central Committee are requested to
meet at Sacramento, on Thursday April 2lst.
The object of the meeting is to call Conven-
tion TO nominate candidates for State officers
to be supported by the Democracy at the next
general election. AS the next election is an
important one, we trust the Convention will be
called at as early day as practicable, so that
the candidates will have an opportunity to can
Yass the whole State.

DENIES Ir.-The Journal Indignantly denies
that II ever stated it didn't care whether it told
the truth or not. in the Griffin matter. 1t will
be recollected by the readers of that delectable
sheet, that in giving an account of Grifin's es-
cape, in order to ate the officers from
blame, and 10 create the impression that be was
imprisoned for trihing offense, it stated be
was convicted of manslaughter--a statement
which the records of the District Court will
show to be untrue. After we had called atten.
ton to this misstatement, the Journal said il
didn't ''recollect or CARE" whether it said be
was convicted of "manslaughter" or not The
Journal now assumes tone of virtuous indig-
nation, on being told of its faults but its files
will show that we did not misrepresent what it
said.

Bribery and CorruptiOn.

The committee appointed recently by the
House of Representatives, to investigate the
alleged corruptons in the Naval Department,
have brought to light many disgraceful trans
actions. The following extract from the report
gives some idea of the means that were used
last summer, to re-elect Fl orence, the Lecomp.
ton Congressman from Philadelphia:
On the 26th of July sealed proposals were
invited by the Secretary of the Navy for the
steam machinery, &c, for the seven sloops Of
war authorized by that act The specifications
did not prescribe the form. plan or details Of
the machinery, but promised drawing of the
section of the vessel to any one making appli-
cation therefor 1t required the bidder to guar
anty certain results. such as power, speed
economy of fuel and the like, but left the design
and arrangement of the machinery with the
party whose proposition should be accepted
Under these specifications proposals were made
by most of the leading marine engine builders
in the United States, accompanied in each case
by plans and drawings.
Before the Secretary had passed upon any OF
the bids, the following letter was sent by Col
w. G. Patterson. of Philadelphia, to the Presi-
dent:
PHILADELPHIA Sept, l3 1858.
Dear Sir: ventue to suggest to you the i'm
portance of awarding the contracts for the ma
chinery of the sloop now building at the navy
yard of this place, and if it can be done without
prejudice to the public service. to Merrick 4

ing every nerve to keep their forces during thi'
depression, and, in 80 far as know. the only
old wings of any influence in that district who
are in favor of the reelection of Col. Florence

that influence, and feel persuaded that it is the
interest of the Democratic party to increase it
The first district will. hope, be carried in
any event, but with that shop at work, full
handed. two weeks prior to the election. the
result would, think, be placed beyond al
doubt
With much respect,
The President. VIC. PATTERSON.
This letter was sent to the Secretary of tht
Navy by the President with this Endorsement:
SEPTEMBER, Is 1858.
'The enclosed letter from Colonel Patterson
of Philadelphia is submitted to the attention o.
the Secretary of the Navy. ]. b."
1t is needless to say, that the contract wa
awarded to Merrick & Sons, although their biz
was some $4,000 higher than that of another
firm, that bad equally as good facilities fol

out of portions of Sacramento and San Joaquin.
The scheme meets with much opposition in San

for creating new counties are generally got up
by politicians, who are anxious to serve the
