heard and the loss the State has experienced in his un
timely fall forms topic up to the present time in nearly
every quarter Judge Terry is at stockton He has not
yet been indicted. The San Francisco Grand Jury
journed without finding bill, thinking doubt, that

1t seems TO be the opinion that Gov Weller will
decline TO appoint any TO Mr.. Frederick It
understood that he has written this effect to several
of the aspirans The papers discuss very freely the
aspect of Senatorial affairs. multitude Of views are
presented Among others that the appontee of the

acceptable to the people at large if he had colleague

point wherever his duties called him.
A hostile party of Indians lately captured
Smiths sand by D. Turner, gunner of the Shubrck and
