sEy- The Express is lawful" in replying to
propositions Of its own getting up. 1t under
takes to answer our articles on Congressional
interference with slavery but finding itself
wholly unable to do so, it proceeds to put
arguments into our mouth and to answer
them This is very convenient. A man Is
bound to come off victorious in contest of
this kind. every time, and it has the advan-
tare of affordng amusement to the spectator,
like the boozy augmentation Of a belated
politician with lamp post. Booty has it all
his own way. The lamp post steadily main
tains its position, and sheds some light on the
subject, but Booty invariably gets the best
Of the argument Cause why?' lie tells the
lamp post what to say, and he never tells it
to say anything that he can't answer, and
just logically KNOCK into n cooked hat" in
the twinkle of bed post"
As an instance of the fair dealing of the
Express, in Thursday leader, with reference
to our assertion that the Lecompton party
are in favor of slave code for the Terrific
res it says
"To prove that the Democracy, with Buchan-
an at their head are in fdCOr of Congressional
Intervention, the organ quotes from late speech
OF Mr. IversOn Senator from Georgia, in which
he said"
Thus, the Express would have it appear
that We relied wholly upon Senator Iyerson's
speech for proof of our position. whereas we
specifically referred to the Washington
Union, President Buchanan's organ, jeff
Davis and Mud Sill Hammond, and We think
dence Of what we asserted. Those Senator's
We said, were in favor of a slave code, and
two of them had proclaimed it in speeches
which had been published oil over the coun-
try, while the Washington Union, the leading
organ Of the Buchananites, had been almost
daily advocating it for some time past. Why
not have the bacb-to to answer PROPOSE
tion in its entirety?
On this question Of Congressional inter
ference with slavery, the Express seems to
have very confused and contradictory no
tions-at least they appear SO upon paper,
owing to the fact, it is likely, that it is afraid
to speak ont what it really does think on the
subject. After arguing, for day or two, all
around the subject, and favoring in non
committal way a slave code in the future,
should 1t euer become necessary it now comes
out (yide Thursdays issue) and says, the lie
compton party "do not favor the enactment
of n slave code for the Territories" Well
this is decidedly funny, Probably the Wash
ington Union is not the leading organ of the
Lecompton party! Probably jeff Davis and
Hammond, and Iverson, do not belong to
that party Probably Mason and Hunter
Hre small fish in the Lecompton watcrs!-
Well, if the Lecompton party don't advocate
the enactment of slave code for the Terri.
tories, It's quite certain that the sun does not
rise in the east and set in the west.

A Row AT BACnELoR's UALL.--Daniel G.
Cummings was arraigned in the Police Court,
San Francisco, says the Bulletin, on a charge
of disturbing the peace in the night time, on
complaint of E. S. Curtis. 1t appears that
there is difficulty between Cummings and
his wife, who keeps dodgers in Bachelors
Hall, on Montgomery, near Pine street, one
of whom is the complainant. Cummings
supposed that Curtis was too intimate at the
house, and made the alleged row the other
evening for that reason as appears. Curtis
loaned Mrs. Cummings money; but indignant.
ly denies any improper intimacy. The case
was continued.

IMPORTATION or LLAMAs AND ALPACAs.-A
large and valuable stock of llamas, apacas,
and vicunas had arrived at Sydney from
Caldera South America. AS shipped, the
flock consisted of 9 vicunas, SO guarizos, l3O
alpacas, and l6l lamns $50 arrived at
Sydney in sound and healthy condition.
They were the produce of stock collected five
years back in Bolivia taken from there into
the Argentine Republic, thence over the An
des to Chile. The party in charge of the
flock was pursued by the authorities of Bo-
ivia, and had great difficulty in getting their
flock safe within the boundaries of the Ar
gentine Republic and, MS much greater
vigilance is now used, it is probable that
many years will elapse ere another flock will
find its way to Australia. The llamas are
chiefly used in Peru as beasts of burden
Their wool is very inferior to the alpaca OF
vicuna. They however make an excellent
cross with the alpaca, producing hybrid
known as the guarizo which yields as fine
wool but longer in staple and of greater
weight than the alpaca alone The wool
produced by the vicuna is shorter, but much
finer, than that of the alpaca or guarizo.-
The paco yicuna, or hybrid between vicuna
and alpaca, is of great value. Its wool pos
sesses the fineness of the former combined
with length of staple OF the latter. 1t viii
be an interesting experiment to naturalize
these animals in Australia If the experiment
there, it may next, and very speedi-

Horse GoNE.-A gentleman writes from
Timbuctoo that a certain migratory Daguer.
rcan artist who had been working at Tim
buctoo, recently left there for San Juan, first
hiring valuable horse Of Messrs- Rice 6 Co.
There he got on most terrible spree, and af-
ter four days returned to within few hun
dred yards of Timbuctoo, where he was
found crying bitterly over his folly. He be-
seeched the persons whom he saw to take the
horse back to Rice d Co., but they concluded
he did not know want he wanted and paid
no attention to his request Shortly after
wards, In state Of frenzy he dashed oil to
parts unknown and has not been heard of
since, Search will be made for him. but the
horse is wanted more than the man. and if he
will return the animal or send linn back. he
will not be injured. Should he not return
the horse soon, he will, if arrested, be made
to suffer for the crime of grand larceny. The
horse is bright roam Spanish, with a Span.

Free Bridge.

1t will be seen by the published report Of
the proceedings of the State Senate, in the
Union, that quite debate was had in that
body, on Wednesday, upon the motion to re
consider the vote by which the Senate passed
an Act to authorize the Board Of Supervisors
of Sutter county to construct free bridge
across Feather river. Senators Allen, Parks
and Holden conducted the discussion, Parks
of course against the reconsideration, and
Allen and Holden in favor off it. The Sen
ate, however, refused to reconsider and so
the Free Bridge Act is passed, as far Us the ac-
tion of the Senate is concerned We look up
on this proceeding as very great outrage,
and cannot but view it as an act Of partisan
favor to Mr. Parks How the Legislature
can stoop to the unparalleled meanness and
injustice Of deliberately destroying the prop
erty of private citizen, itpuzzles us to see
AS well might they authorize an incendiary
to go and burn down the private dwelling Of
an owner of the bridge already existing as to
authorize the construction Of free bridge
beside it, for the plain reason that free
bridge would render the toll bridge, as a mat
ter of course, worthless-und the Legislature
have as much right to destroy a mans prop
erty in one way as vnother.
We hope the House will have the justice to
knock this bill in the head and give it final
quietus. The Legislature should be too dig
nifed n hodv and too Honorable +o etr;l- n
