Important News from Lower California,

A San Diego correspondent Of the Bulletin,
writing on the 9TH Sept. says;
We have stormy news from Lower Cali
fornia. Gen. Castro, the Commandante de
Ia Frontera, us | wrote you some time ago,
has been supplanted, 10y order of the Mexi-
can government, during his absence in Mon
terey where he still is, and Mendoza, known
here AS common tile thief, appointed in
his place. The representatives Of Castro re
fused to recognize his supremacy, and in
formed him that they would stretch his neck
if he appeared in the State and attempted to
assert his authority.
A me citing was called which was held at
Snnto Tomas on the day selected, the first OF
September. There the Castro party, to the
number of one hundred and twenty, declare 1
themselves independent and adjourned, but
they soon found themselves in the minority.
The day subsequent, they We're informed that
the opponents of their declaration were upon
them, and many of them fled Those who
did not were arrested for high treason, and II
large number of them were executed.
Among the number executed were -four
Americans, of whom one was Mr.. Il X. Pur-
ter, formerly in the San Francisco Postohice
and latterly correspondent Of the Bulletin

nothing more than right that our readers

until they hear both sides.
We are possessed of the verdict of the jury
in the case, but suppress it, not wishing to

The Election in San Francisco.

The great increase in the Lecompton vote
in San Francisco, is somewhat explained, by
the statement that the Lecompton candidates
for the Assembly, who are all believed to be
elected, are Bulkhead men. The Telegram
says;
The Republicans compelled their Legisia-
tive candidates to pledge themselves to OPP
pose any Bulkhead Bill, if they should be
elected The Anti Lecomptons were alsc
opposed to Bulkhead. Rehabilitation oI

Convention which nominated it, ve-y wisely

the above named defendants were brought
before Justice singer for preliminary exam
nation as to the killing of James Simpson -
Judge Singer objected to trying the case, for
the reason that many persons supposed that
he was no friend of the deceased before his
death and that he might be prrjudiced in
favor of the accused parties He declined to
examine the case and transferred it to the
County Judge At . o'clock, the defendants
were brought TO the-bar and several witness.
es examined We had taken down the evil
dence Of the first witness in the case, when
the court interposed resolute objection to
the publication Of the evidence, before the
final trial, and we desisted reporting not
that we believed that the Court could rre-
vent us. but that we had no wish to be ob.
stinate in n matter of the kind. The reason
given by the Court for the suppression of the
evidence was that the public mind might be
prejudiced for or against the defendants be.
tore the trial came on, and furthermore that
1t would be very difficult, after the publica
ton of the evidence, to obtain jury in Yu
oa county. The counsel for the defense
were also opposed to the publication of the
.est'mony' The prosecution did not object.
IL may be- perhaps, as well as it is. although
we dislike much to suppress intelligence of a
character likely to be interesting to our rao-
ders.
Judge Lindley discharged Mr.. Thomas and
took the case of the other two defendants

Lecomptonism Here and Elsewhere

The Administration has triumphcd in this
State, and the people have endorsed Gwin
aud LecomptoniSn. This news will be the
cause of rejoicing at head quarters" and
will be looked upon by the President and
his suhordnates in office as an offset in some
legree to the rebukes received from the peo-
pie elsewhere. The President can now con-
5ratulate himself upon the course that Cali
tornia has taken. BY her vote flor we con-
cede that the whole Administration ticket is
elected) she has sustained all the acts of his
Administration. She has, so far, proved her
self the staunehest supporter of Lecompton-
tousm.
The election here will have the effect to
receive somewhat the spirit of the Lecompton
party in the Atlantic States, and give to that
party two supporters in Congress. Further
than this, it will have but little influence in
the Atlantic States There it is truly said
that James Buchanan and his Administration
are in the "sere and yellow leaf" The fiat
of the people has gone forth, and in 1860 lie
comptonism will he shorn of his strength.
The nomination of Stephen A. Douglas or
any other man occupying the same political
ground to the Presidency, will be of itself
the defeat of Lecomptonism. Indeed, we
hardly believe it possible that any Southern
dreeater, or any one upholding all the acts
IF the present Administration, can receive
the nomination for the Presidency. In case,
however. such person is nominated, his de-
feat will be certain.
