AN IMPosToR.-Recently, a man named
Joel Foster was picked up drunk in San
Francisco, and taken to the station house 10
prove his respectability, he produced the iol-
lowing paper:
"The bearer, Joel Foster, has become an
invalid from the use of calomel, and taken
this method to raise money sufficient to de-
frav his expenses to the States. l made his
acquaintance several years ago, and believe
him worthy of the aid he SO ielts
The Herald says:
This was signed by name, opposite which
a small sum of money was subscribed, ana
was followed by the names of ten or twelve
others, who also in charity paid over money
to him. When asked what he had done with
the money, he said that his friends had in
duced him to drink, and he spent it in treat
ing them There is no doubt but that the
man is somewhat afflicted, and there is alsC
no doubt but that he is SO much addicted t'
intemperance as to be unworthy OF sympa-
thy.

HoRsE.TAMNG-Rarey breaks horses by
mingled force and Kindness, but the Mexican
horse-tamer breaks them by sheer force. He
ia''ens to their backs good saddle, with
strong stirrups and feathers, then mounts
ana rides the animal till it recognizes its
master and yields. Quite an exciting scene
took place, yesterday, on B and A streets
and in that neighborhood, wherein ono &c
these same Mexican horse.tamers was H.,
principal actor. He was astride of n wild
horse that seemed to unite the strength Of =
Bueephalus with the untameable spirit Of =
steed of the desert The most incredible Of
leaps that ever were made he made; rearing
and plunging, jumping stiff legged, falling
down, running away, everything that an an
imal could do, in the exercise of marvellous
strength and activity, to throw his rider he
tried. but all in vain. That Mexican could
have ridden him if he had been ouadru-
pedal thunderbolt. Talk about Rarev The
Mexican style needs no assistance from Rarev
or any of his tribe.

had provocation.
Mr.. Griffith, for being drunk and disorder

The feature of the morning, however, was
the trial of All Hop for assault, with intent
to kill, upon Sam Kee. The Court was full
of Chinamen, a considerable number of
whom were witnesses, and they swore right
and left, helter skelter, pro. and con, until
the case was perhaps the prettiest muddle
ever witnessed in a court of justice On
which side the testimony preponderated it
would be hard to say, and it was matter of
unrevealable mystery to us whether All Hop
or Sam Kee commenced the assault, and had
not the wounded man been present and oc -
cular demonstration had that the thing really
was, We should have doubted whethera man
had been stabbed at ali. Such is China tes
timony. Probably, the best way of settling
such cases is TO fine both parties and let them

ALLOW me TO commend you on your bodness
and magnanimity in acknowledging that one of
the most prominent features of the Republican
marty has bv the force of circumstances, become
mere political abstraction )" and that you have
come to the conclusion that it is no sacrifice of
principle to cast aside the doctrine "that Congress
has a right to exclude slavery from the Terrific
ries,, in order that you may unite with those
who hold that Congressional Intervention on the
subject of slavery in the Territories is neither ex
pedient nor right but the inhabitants thereof are
the most competent judges to decide that as well
all other questions affecting their interest and
destiny" These points being gained and all OBJ
stacles being removed, | can see nothing in the
way, so far as concerns this question, to an har-
mOnious and perfect coalition between the Repub-
hcans and Anti-Lecompton Democrats
The above is an extract from communi-
cation published in the San Francisco Times,
| and addressed to the editor of that paper 1t
will be seen that the writer congratulates his
/ Republican friend, because of his abandon
ment of the doctrine "that Congress has a
right to exclude slavery from the Terrific
ries' The editor of the Times however
has in this instance, only followed in the
wake of the leaders of the Republican party,
who have, all of sudden, cast aside their
Gvorie doctrine, that Congress has right
to make laws in relation to slavery in the
Territories. Yet if the Republicans have
abandoned that ground, it is not now unoc-
cuped. The Lecompton party now claim
the honor of occupying it, and in the opinion
of that party in the Atlantic States, it is a
very strong position-one which will afford
them the means of waging a vigorous war
against all who do not subscribe to the rule
of President Buchanan
There was a time, when one of the chief
issues between the Democratic and RepuGli-
can parties was concerning this same ques-
ton of popular sovereignty; or, in other
words, the question as to whether Congress
possessed the power to make laws for a Ter
ritory in relation to slavery.
Now we find parties playing strange and
unexpected game. The Republicans are
abandoning n doctrine which, in great
measure, distinguished them as a party, while
the supporters of the Administration are
seizing hold of that same doctrine, and are
fast incorporating it into their political be-
lief In this respect, they stand in the cast
off shoes of the Republican party. From
them, the cry of a coalition of the Douglas
Democracy with the Republican party comes
with very bad grace The Douglas Democ-
racy has never changed its ground 1t does
not occupy one f OF of the abandoned ground
of the Republican or any other party

Nor HIS SIsTER-By misinterpretation of
our language in noticing the recent attempt
of the prisoner Archie to escape from the
County Jail, by saving through the bars
with a serrated knife-blade, some persons
supposed we cant to say that it was a sister
of Archie instead of sister Of Roman who
handed in the knife out of which the saw
was made. We meant to say, and did say,
although not as clearly as we might, thet it
was sister of Roman who handed it in
Arches sisters are very respectable females
and he has great tenderness for their reputa-
tion. Not wishing to have either of them
mixed up with his present untoward affairs
he has sent us request to state that it was
not his sister who furnished the knife alluded
to. We do so certainly with pleasure. Ro.
man, (who is in Jail for cattle.stealing) saws
that the woman was not exactly his (Roman's)
sister, but q relative. 1t is all the same. since
the fact is true that she smuggled in the knife
with which the prisoners were to saw their
way out.

of the Boston Ranch, in Amador county, was
in town yesterday, in search of Mexican
who, if his suspicious are correct, stole val
liable horse from him on Monday night last.
He tracked the Mexican from his ranch to
the Middle Ferry across Yuba river and
thence he thinks he came into this city.
Mr.. Waters offers $50 for the recovery of tho
horse and $50 for the arrest and conviction
of the thief The animal is an American
horse, with collar and erupper marks on him
has a white spotil his right eye, and whit,
stripe in his face; is nearly 10 hands high
bay color; is heavy built and has heavy ears
and is branded on the left hip with a B, whicl
letter is connected with a just above it
the mark being rather dim.
