Six Days Later from California.

| By the Overland Mail to st. Louis we have dates
from San Francisco to the 26th ult, but the inte
gence is not important. The Bulletin of the oath
| has the following:
Judge Terry, who had been arrested near Stock
ton, on warrant transmitted from this city, was
brought down on the Stockton steamer last night,
and this morning appeared before Judge Blake of
| the County Court, and gave bail for his appearance
to answer any charge the Grand Jury might have
to bring against him. He was brought down by
Sheriff O'Neil, of San Joaquin county, and met on
the wharf by several of his friends, who had col
lected for the purpose of escortng him to the Me-
| tropolitan Hotel, where he put up.
At half-past nine O'Clock this morning Judge
Terry was taken before Judge Blake, and bond
for his re-appearance in Court in the penal sum of
$4,000. was given by himself as principal, and by
B. Walker Bours G. w. Trahern and H. F. Truett,
as sureties. The suretes state under oath that
they are residents and house-holders, Bours and
Trahern of San Joaquin county, and Truett of San

After giving bail the accused was discharged.

posa by Judge Burke for the Thirteenth Judicial

upon these premises. An action is also brought in

THE SAN Francisco AND EVANSVILLE RAILROAD.
There are at present working on the road about
five hundred hands. One hundred and fifty of these
are Chinese, employed by Chinese sub-contractor
under Mr.. Atchison. We understand that they do
vigorous and expeditions work. At any rate their
labor is much cheaper than any other which can
be obtained. The work on the road is progressing
rapidly.
PAclrIc RAILROAD CONVENTION San Fran.
cisco Herald of the 26th says:
The Pacific Railroad Convention, we deeply re-
greet to say, has come to a most lame and impotent
conclusion. Its debates were full of sound and
fury, signifying nothing" 1t adopted resolutions
favoring the Central Route, and, constrained
reluctantly to say, did nothing more. It appointed
ponderous committees. and INDUCED in abundant
mutual glorifeation. We have great esteem for
many OF its members, but we cannot see what good
they have effected. 1t is said that few aspiring
politicians have endeayored to make capital out Of
it, but have signally failed. 1t is true, Messrs
Crockett Bidwell, Farwell, and a few others, have
tried faithfully to carry out the object for which it
was called; but every candid person must admit
that the affair has been decided failure. 1t has
most signaly failed. Let us, in future, have an
earnest effort, seconded by the people of California,
Mere conventions sorry affairs; they seldom
can be made to enunciate the peoples will on pub
lie measures.
Project TO SET ASIDE THE CONGRESSIONAL MEM
BEERS, SCOTT AND BURcH.-A Sacramento cores
pondent of the Bulletin writes:
Some of our Republican friends here think they
have found a way to exclude Scott and Burch from
understood that Mr.. Dudley who was voted for with
Mr.. McKibben last year, has gone or will proceed
to Washington, in order to oppose the admission Of
the members elected this fall. The ground taker
is that the California Legislature has neglected tc
district the State, as required by the law Of Con
gress, or to comply with the Constitution which
says that Representatives shall be chosen every
| two years.
J.,,, I
States for years refused to be governed by it
and elected by general ticket, as California does
still, and their delegates have been rejected.
But it is important to observe that in all these
the House, and the same party had large ma
jority in that body.
