NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, FEB. lc, 1859.

CouRr FSEs.-Our Sacramento correspond
ent calls attention to q matter connected with
the court fees Of the l4th Judicial District,
which requires explanation. The County Clerk
is required by Law to collect three dollars from
every party commencing suit in the District
I Court. This money 10 paid to the Judge. who
gives receipt for the same; the Clerk is requIr-
ed to file the receipt with the State Controller,
asd the amount thus paid is deducted from the
salary received BY the Judge from the State.
According to the Controllers report Judge
sesrls had received his entire salary from the
State for the past year. On inquirine at the
Clerks Office, we learned the following facts:
Since The commencement of Mr.. Shoemaker's
term, there has been $l,755 paid in as court
fees. OF this amount $500 was paid to the
Judge over year ago, and $l,465 has been
paid within the pact week or two. BY some
means the receipt for $500 was mislsid In the
Clerks Office, and never forwarded to the Con-
troller. But when attention was called to the
matter by the publication Of the Controllers
report, the receipt was found, and the balance
Of the court fees were paid over to the Judge,
and the two receipts have since been forwarded
TO the Controllers ofdse. The full amount OF
Sl,755 will of course be deducted from Judge
Searls' salary for the present year. We know
nothing as to what has become Of the court
fees of Sierra county, but the probability Is, the
Clerk hos neglected to pay them over. SO far
a. this county is concerned, We are happy to be
enabled to state that the matter is all right. 1t
10 proper to state that the Officers cannot. even
so disposed, cheat the State out Of the court
fees, without being detected.

The PACIFIC RAILROAD BnL.-Many days
have been occupied In the U. S. Senate, during
the present session, in the discussion OF the va
rious Pacific Railroad projects before that
body. The 18th and 10th Of January was spent
in voting on the several substitutes and amend
ments, and the bill was then ordered to be
printed, so that the members could form some
idea Of the character of the bill. The votes so
far o. taken, indicates that majority of the
Senators arc in favor Of the construction Of the
road, but ii is somewhat doubtful whether a
majority will favor any one project. There is
no reliable data upon which to form an opin-
Ion as to the probable fate of the bill in the
House. The special committee, appointed at
the commencement OF the session to consider
the subject, have decided that II would be un-
wise and inexpedent for the government to
commence the construction of the road at pres
ent. The chances are that the bill will not be
passed at this session.

TEE MEXICAN PREsIDEET.-Gen. Manuel Nj
ramon, who at last accounts was President Of
Mexico, is but twenty-seven years Of age. He
arst attracted notice for bis military qualities
about year ago. On the death Of Gen. Osol-
los. last summer. he was placed Of the head of
the army, and signalized biz promotion by q
decisive victory over Vidaurri, near San Luis
Potosi. in September. Recently he defeated
Dsgollado, near Gusdalaiara, and captured
that city. He has hitherto acted with the
Church party. His elevation 10 doubtless due
to admiration of bis military achievements, but
Il remains to be seen whether he has cores
ponding administrative talents. II is barely
possible he may succeed in establishing bis
government on . Arm basis, but the probability
is, that before this time he has been deposed,
and that some other man Is elevated to the
chief magistracy.

ARIZONA AND DAKorAH.-There is every pro-
bability shat the Territories of Arizona and
DakOtah will be organized during the present
session Of Congress. On the 14th of January
the House Committee on Territories ordered
the bill for the organization Of Arizona to be
reported, and on the 18th the same action was
taken with the bill to organize Dakotah. The
Territ ory of Arizona is to include all that por-
ton Of the United States, south of thirty-three
degrees forty minutes. north latitude. and from
Texas to the Colorado Of the West. 1t will
contain an area of about 100000 square miles,
and a population, it is said, Of 10000. The
Territory OF Dakotah is to extend from MINES
ota to the Rocky mountains, and will include
all the northern portion of Nebraska Territory.
No decisive action had been taken by the
Committee in regard to the propositions to or
zanize the Territories Of Nevada and Colona--
the former to include Carson and neighborng
valli's and the latter to be carved out of the
western portions of Kansas and Ne braska.

PHYSICIAN, HEAL THrsELF.-The San Fran
cisco National in alluding to some remarks
made by the Nevada Democrat. to the effect,
that ''in the course Of the debate on the anti
Broderick Resolutions. in the Senate, Mr.. Hol-
den, of Stanislaus, stated that Henry A. Wise
and Hugh L. White had resigned their seats in
the United States Senate. because they had
been instructed to vote for measures they could
not support, and that Gen. Cass would have re-
signed In preference to disobcyng the Istruc-
tions of the Les islAture Of his State. and that
this statement was untrue so far as Mr.. Wise or
Gen. Cass is concerned" says
We have closely examined the Of Senator Holden
as 1t has reached in pamph let form, I'd find no
mention OF the Of Henry . Wise from its beginning
to the end. Consequently conclude that coDeeit
ed contemporary has rather put his foot in it, this
occasion. Hereafter the DEkoCRAT would do we'll to
member the saying Of Zimmerman, that conceit and
hdence both Of them cheats the first always imposes
on itse the second frequently deceives Others too"
Now. it appears that Mr.. Holden did make
use Of the name of Mr.. Wise. "in the course oi
the de bate" and he did so in reply to some
observ ations made by Mr.. Wheeler. Hereafter
the National will do well to remember the say
ing Of Zimmerman, that ''cOnceit AMI conf
dence," etc.-U Union.
[We did not receive the National which con-
tained the paragraph quoted above, and for
that reason insert the statement of the Union.
