The late CbefJustice Murray. Of our State Su-
preme Court. charged Nr. Latnam with having
tried 10 bribe the Court and frequently conversed
onlhe sut ect with Judges Heydrntedt Bryan. aud
| Terry his associates on toe bench. At one tine II
was proposed try Latham for the otense. but soon
after the date of ~ alleged commission, the Nigu-
arce Committee excitement OF lrJb arose, aud
that possessed such an absorbing interest that
| nothing more was said about Latham. Mr.. Latham
ba. publicly replied to the charge but il is difficult
! FOR man 10 prove bimself innocent of charge
made by person 10 longer alive. Lathsms gen-
cral reputation Otherwise Las been excellent; MS
! conduct both in his publlc and private relations,
Is cohldered as exemplary, for California official.
The campaign is al exceedingly warm one. Two
| United states Senators, 1--WE candidates for Con
press three for Governor, and multitude of other
| candidates are "stumplng" the State, aud tue
,lity of the speakers, the public interest in the
Popular Sovereignty question, aud the bitter per-
sonal character of many OF the speeches, call out
| large audiences.
The only prominent speaker, not a protessei
politician. ia Leland Stanford, the Republican can
d.date for Governor. He is solid merchant of
Saoramento-a straightforward, sensible man
who does honor, aud gives strength 10 his tlckee.
The moet elegant and eloquent orator in tue polt-
zeal field is Col L. ID. Baker, who is listened to by
great crowds wherever he speaks. He is now
making tour through the Southern mines. The
Republicans hope t. elect their State ticket on ac-
| count Of 3 split in the Dem0crscy-a split which
will probably divide the party Dto factions nearly
equal in Duubers. We have no Information yet
watcher Horace Greeley will say anything on the
subject Of politics while IN our State.
Ii is now conceded that, so far as can be known
from unofficial returns, Stout administration

The Olupyia Pionscr says:
L" - far as We have heard, not single Republican
ha. be en- eeced 20 either branch of the Legislature
In Nme three or four instances, Independent
Democrats have been elected over the party nominee
A iele Gram from GenOa, Carson Valley, says, that
IL otes were pol "a for Delegate to Congress IN the
uoulG-be Csr.0n Territory. Crane has $50; Dodge,
81. The . ton Will be contested.
One Of the most important items of news from
the North is that Gen. Harvey has ordered Major
Haller to take detachment of troops from Fort
Townsend and establish military post on san
Juan island. The Aha explains the position OF San
Juan island, thus:
Il vii be remembered that the treaty of 1876 pro-
yded that the lIe separating the British and neri-
can territories should commence a. the summit Of The
Rocky Mountains, IN latitude ~ deS., 10 which point
il had previously been brought from the East, thence
Iun westward with the nth parallel - the mid lie Of
the Gulf d Georgia thence southwark with the msin
channel the Straits o. Fuca srd through the middle
Cf those strais 70 the ocean. Now so happens that
between the point where the line leaves the 18th par
ae and the pOirt where enters the Straits o, tuca,
there IL tie Archipelago de Haro through ghich
eral large channels the two main ones being the
Rosario Strait and the Canal de Haro. The former -
the Dost used by vessels going from the ocean to
the mouth OF Fraser River but the latter u the ~de-
! though Distracted by come small lslets. Both ere
vice channcs deep enough for the largest sh p. Be-
tween them lie dozen ISLANDS the cnlei OF which are
San Juan, Lopez and Orcas Islands, aud altogether
tncy may include about 300 square miles OF land or
l.Si 90 acres Juon leland i5 tbs most valuable,
and has ABBOTT 30 900 acres, much Of II good soil COW
cred with fine grass. Tie British that the Ro-
sario ST. ait is the main channel meant by the treaty
and the Americans ssy the Camel dc Isro IS meant
sid The settle nent OF that dispute will determine who
l. 10 be tho o the slGndf. Some British sGbleoJs
already occupy san Juan Island a. sheep pasture.
