IMPRovIDENCE OF HAWAIIAN SEAMEN.-Ev-
cry one acquainted with Hawaiian seamen
knows their improvident habits, and that the
great majority of them, even after receiving
a large advance. go to sea without any other
outfits or clothing than what they have on
Where their advance goes to, it is hard to
say but have heard it whispered in Homo
lulu that government and Governors taxes
and shipping masters fees use up large
portion Of it, and the balance, | presume, is
much smaller than what many an American
sailor fools away among the grog shops and
wahines there. Coming away almost desti-
tute, therefore, they have to depend upon
the good nature of their captain for a fur
ther advance of clothing to enable them TO
face the cold weather of the North, and it is
not to be expected that he will give anything
more than will suffice to make them comfort
able, for the very good reason that he cannot
be sure Of taking oil enough to pay their
debts to the ship. In our case large advan.
ces of clothing were made early in the sea-
son, and at that time each man was supplied
with one pair of shoes and two pairs of stock
ings. Unfortunately these articles were not
a whit better than "slops" in general, and a
month or two of wet weather spoiled them
do not exaggerate the matter when l say
that for nearly three months more than half
the crew have very seldom known what it
was to have dry feet. Many of them for that
time have had no stockings. | remember
particularly one day when we were blocked
in the ice and were trying to warp the ship
through, noticed several who had been out
on the ice all day at work, who had nothing
to protect their feet from the cold but miser
able half worn out shoes. This l call real
hardship (if any one thinks it is not, let
him try it) but these poor fellows have stood
it up to this time without even murmuring.
| am certain that no crew of Americans
would have undergone what these Kanakas
have without raising "Ned, or, at least, try
ing to.-CoDa. Advertiser.

A STEP IN THE RIGHr DIREcrToN.-We are
informed says the S. F. Times, of Wednes.
day, that a meeting Of several physicians was
held yesterday afternoon, at the rooms of one
of our most respected medical gentlemen, for
the purpose of obtaining an expression of dis
approval and condemnation of the objection
able passage in the Report on Obstetrics by
DR.. Cole. The full proceedings have not
transpired, but it is stated on reliable author
ity, that the meeting broke up without arri.
wing at any definite result, owing, as we
have heard, to the presence of friends of DIR.
Cole, who obtruded themselves uninvited on
the occasion. The probability is that at the
approaching Convention of the medical facul
ty of the State at Sacramento, this libellou,
aspersion of the chastity of California women
will receive the full and whitening rebuke il
deserves
1t seems, however, no more than reasona-
BILE to expect of the Asssciation-such of the
members as reside in this city-that they
denounce the libel as far as they are person
ally concerned.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. l2Jn.
EDfroR Democrat Our Solons are gradu-
ally getting down to their work, and perfect
ing their organization. Singular as it may
seem, Stratton makes very fair Speaker.
He is decided-or MS the members familiarity
say, "bull headed :" and in body that needs
as much controlling as this House does. a
man disposed to be determined and expedite
business, is a very desirable kind Of officer
Mr. Speaker has just announced certain Com
mittee ap ointments, all of which Iapprised
you of last evening
Among other matters which are mooted is
the establishment of new Judicial District
out of the counties of Plu-:as and Sierra,
thus relieving both Sexton and Searls of n
very onerous duty. 1t would no doubt be
very gratifying to them to have the change
made. Whether it would suit the inhabi-
tants of those counties or not, is another
question. l know that the bar of Plumas at
least are very unwilling to be robbed of so
good Judge as Sexton, and it is admitted
that Searles is highly popular in Sierra. An
other bill, creating Judicial District out of
part of Judge Creanor's District, has been in
troduced into the Senate. By the way, Jim
Hardy, who was President of the Lecompton
Convention, is log-rolling for this latter move
ment hoping to receive the appointment of
the Judgeship of the new District.
Ofcourse another Folsom State Prison Bill
has come up. This time by DIR. Price. The
Sacramentans have powerful hankering for
taking charge of the distinguished gentlem en-
of the State, and will never let up until they
have erected residence for such criminals
as John B. can spare from his own brick ma
chine
A resolution instructing our Senators and
requesting our Representative at Washing
ton to use such means as are under their con-
troll to get the everlasting Indian War Debt
paid has passed both Houses. 1t seems as if
the two Houses are determined to pitch into
the old business which has occupied all the
Legislatures of California dmyhow. 1t may
be well enough to have some unfinished and
unfinishable business as stock in trade for
the young members to practice on. They
must get good ready on" before they pro-
ceed to such business as will do the State come
service.
BY the way, our little band of Douglas
Democrats have acted nobly. The Lecompts
are so completely at outs among themselves
that an apparition like Webster's ghost of
the murdered coalition" is soaring them and
keeping them in high state of nervous fear.
This confounded fog is making everybody
sick your correspondent among the mum
ber-and such being the case, l will herewith
bring this to a close, promising to write you
more at length by the mail of tomorrow.
Yours in the faith,

Bound BELow-Sheriff Plum and Mr.
Gridley, of Butte county, called on us last
evening. The former is on his way with a
convict for the State Prison, one John Do
land, who killed a man named Sharkey, some
IA months ago, and was sentenced to be hung,
but receiv ed a commutation of his sentence
to imprisonment for life. just the day before
the day of execution. Doland is the hap
piest man. Sheriff Plum says, that he ever
saw, and has been so ever since he learned
that he was not to be hnng Imprisonment
for life has no terrors for him, when he com
pares it with the terrible fate which seemed
at first to await him.
Mr. Gridley has charge of man named
Walling, afflicted with periodical fits of in
sanity, whom he is taking to Stockton. Wal
ling appears at the present time to be per
fectly sane, and is very willing to go to the
Asylum, knowing, as he well does, that his
fit will come on in due time, and with such
force as entirely to PROSTATE his reason. lie

AFFRAY. " esterday afternoon after the de-
cision of the case of Perley VS.. Mayre, in the
Twelfth District Court, in which the former
had recovered verdict of $500 for profes-
sional services, G co r. Mayre, defendant, en-
countered E. MacKinay, the attorney for the
plaintiff, in the office Of the County Clerk,
and took that gentleman to task for the use
of some language made by him during the
trial which reflected on his veracity. Words
ensued, and blows followed to the consterna
ton of the clerks The parties cnched, the
Coward color" from the clerks did fly, and
they seized their weapons of defence, rulers,
nkstands and paper weights. The contest
ants were tugging away at each other to the
great damage of the ricketty stove, when rip
went the collar of MacKinny's coat. and
Macs brother interfered. and for his trouble
was carried off and placed in limbo by the

HUGE PuMPKN.-A correspondent writes
to us from a mining region, almost on the
northernmost boundary of the State, concern
ing a very large pumpkin which he found
clinging to a vine, far from the habitation of
man, among the craggy rocks that jut their
finty ribs from the side of the mountain
It's weight, our correspondent judged, was in
the neighborhood of t'Co hundred pounds. and
he says that the vine was rooted into only
about six inches square of yellow clay, which
had lodged between two rocks Were We
not so well acquainted with our informant
we should think there was some error about
this, but he is a man Of truth and sense, and
not in the least given to romaneing. Tive
hundred pounds-six inches of clay-far
away from the habitation of man--craggy
rocks-lofty mountains-well, WELL we be-
He0o it, but, like the Dutchman who got to
