ST. LOUIS, Dec. IL.
The overland mail of the 18th arrived last
night.
The steamship Cortez with New Y York mails
and passengers of Oct Goth, had not ar
rived at San Francisco when the mail left.
and considerable anxiety was felt, as she was
fully week over due
The steamship Northerner was also several
days over due from Puget Sound, but it is
presumed Gen. Scott has detained her.
The tax on goods owned abroad and Sold
by commission merchants in San Francisco.
has been declared unconstitutional.
Twenty thousand francs worth ofdamonds
recently smuggled into San Francisco. had
been forfeited to the government.
LIN the case of BOggs VS.. the Mcrced Mining
Co., involving the title of Col Fremont to the
Mariposa estate, and exclusive right to the
minerals contained therein, the Supreme
Court has decided in favor of Boggs.
The Court decided that the charge of fraud
in the survey was not substantiated, and ar
gued that if there had been fraud, it wou,'
not invalidate the patent The Cour, OIL. ~
partially met the point as to the ow ,erSb;n ~
the minerals, but substantially pves the p go1d n
as well as the land to Fremont and J clearly spiu
decides that private grants of land are not
open 10 'he public to search for minerals.

However much the Democrats of the Senate
may laugh over what they deem shrewd trick,
the public will be disposed to view their act as
a very disgraceiul one. What are the facts by
which the Senate was placed and held under a
call during Monday night? 1t seems that a
committee was appointed to report permanent
rules for the Senate Mr.. Bartholomew, one of
the committee, signed the report under mis-
apprehension, alleging that he did not endorse
the two-thirds rule. Mr.. Hall, the chairman of
the committee, reported in favor of the rules,
his own and Mr. Bartholomew signatures be-
ing appended thereto. The Senate, (acting
perhaps too hastily adopted the rules, when the
trick was discovered, and q motion made to re-
consider. A call of the Senate was made, and
as matter of course, Mr.. Hall, and few of
his friends, held the Senate under the call until
morning, when recess was had until afternoon.
We can see no good to come from this act Of
Mr.. Hall, and we know that it docs not meet
with the views of either Mr.. McKubin, Mr..
Stevens, or Mr.. Robinson, who are Demo
Gratis. 1t would have been much better and
more honorable for Mr.. Hall to have withdrawn
h;s motion when he found that Mr.. Bartholo-
NEW was laboring under mistake and had so
stated to the Senate. Let the people note this
effort on the part Of Democratic Senators to
clog the wheels of Legislation and squander the
money of the people.

The Legislature.

But little business was transacted in either
branch of the Legislature yesterday. On
Monday the members went to work in earn
est and had it not been for the factious spirit
of few Democratic Senators in placing the
Senate under a call, much business would
have been transacted. On Tuesday evening
a caucus Of the members was held to nomi-
nate United States Senator, but after eight
cen ballots the caucus adjourned without per-
fecting a nomination. Yesterday some con-
siderable wirc-pulling was perceptible and a
disposition was manifested to devote the al
ternoon to a proper understanding of the
members as to the various claims of the
prominent men now on the Senatorial track.
We presume the question was settled last
evening and that the Joint Body will be rea-
dy to vote on it oday. When this question
is disposed of, and few others that just now
initiate against the progress of Legislation,
we hope to see the machinery moving steadi-
ly along, carrying with. it the interests of the
people. We knoo that there is disposition
on the part of the members to facilitate busi-
ness and close up with a short session, and
the people are equally anxious to effect that
result.
Let us impress upon the members then the
necessity of economy in time as well as mon-
ey, and that while they have thus far done well
they can do better by unity ofsentiment and
concentration of action on any important
question which may come before them. Bear
in mind gentlemen, that short and working
session with due attention to retrencfmept,
is the stepping stone to victory in 1860.
