More of Corruption Fund.

After publishing our comments on the We'll
Ter corruption fund business in Sacramento
county. we came across the subjoined article
in the San Francisco News which we had ac
cidentally overlooked. The matter does not
seem to be very greatly mended, but for the
sake of due fairness to all parties, we gve the
explanation of Mr.. Long and the remarks of
the News thereon
1--WE have received the following communi-
cation from Mr. Long:
SAN FRANcIsco, May 80. 1859.
Mr.. JOHN WHITE, Edit0r 5. +. AeCS
Dear Sir:-I find in your paper of this morn
ing the following:
MORE CoRRurT1ox-W. s, Long, Esq, of Sac
ramento, informed us yesterday (and authorized
us to use his name in connection with the state
ment,) that certain Of John b. Wellers friends
sent 81 900 to be used in the primary election at
Sacramento. Surely the people will not sanction
these proceedings, and will not favor the ambi-
ton ofmen nominated under such circumstances.
You will permit me to say that was somewhat
surprised to find my name thus paraded before
the public, as the conversation had with your
self and several of Gov. Weller's friends, was en-
tirely jocular one, and not intended to be re-
peatcd. Yours respectfully,
w. S. LONG.
We might have misunderstood Mr. Long,
but his language was as follows; "Y ou can
use my name as authority for the statement"
Matters of this kind are not ola ''iocular" ma
ture-should be treated seriously-and we
are, as the public will be, somewhat surprised
at Mr.. Longs letter. 1t is evident Mr. Long
still believes that the money was sent to Sac
ramento, but, as a man fighting inside the
party" he thinks he was imprudent in tell
ing the secrets of the prison house We have
always looked upon Mr.. Long as man of
his word and as he stands high in the Le-
compton party, his communication to US was
entirely reliable. We are not accustomed to
retail private convcrsations--no publicist
would be justfiable in doing so-but a posi-
tive request was made to us to publish the
above statement, and we had been uncourte
Gus, indeed, had we refused Taking birds
eye view of the matter, it is evident that
money was sent to Sacramento for the pur-
pose named"
The Express accuses us of disposition to
misrcpresent this matter, because we did not
notice Mr. Longs card. Itprobably judges
our disposition by its own.
1t also boots at the idea that there Is cor
ruption in tie ranks Of its party. How con
sistent this is, after itself publishing a column
and half communication which openly de.
nounced the frauds and bribery in the Le-
compton primary elections in San Francisco
and Sacramento counties, we leave the pub
lie to judge.

SMARTsvILLE, June 81.

SMARTsvnLE, June Sd.
EDIroE DEMocRAT;-There was a robbery
committed here last night in the hotel of l.
B. Clark. 1t is supposed that the thief OF
thieves entered the house through broken
window pane. The money drawer was alb
stracted, containing some forty or fifty dol
lars besides lot of clothing, in all valued
at about one hundred dollars.
Night before last, a sluice was robbed in
Timbuetoo-of how much could not learn,
as the company had only made a run of one
or two days. The country appears to be
full of this respectable gentry, this. spring.
Since writing the above Mr.. Clark has
fouud his money drawer in the chapperal
close to his house, but of courseit was empty.
| learn that the miners are making very
cleanings up in this section.

b. f. WAsHINGToN OPPosED.-A Lccomp.
ton correspondent of the Sacramento Stan
dard writing over the signature of Jonas"
takes ground against B. f. Washington in
his late manifesto to the Administration par.
ty, recommending the ignoring of the ques-
ton as to a slave code for the Territories, and
says;
In my humble opinion, therefore, the De.
mocratic Convention ought not to "ignore,"
or dodge the Territorial question, but affirm
what the Southern Senators and Mr. Douglas
agree to- that it is judicial question, sub.
mitted to the decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States; that the decision of that
Court shall be final and binding. and carried
into execution with all the power of the
Government. That if necessary to that end,
1t will be the duty of Congress to intervene.
not for the purpose of introducing or legisla.
ting slavery into the Territories, but to main
tam the laws as interpreted by the Supreme
Court of the United States
Mr. Jonas sets forth that Douglas aorees
that it is a judicial question, to be hereafter
decided by the Supreme Court of the United
States, as to whether Territorial Legislatures
can legislate in an unfriendly manner to sla.
very but adds that the Leeompton State Con
venton shall affirm that it is the duty of Con.
gress to iateryene whenever it becomes no.
cessary.
No doubt the majority of Leeomptontes
would consider it necessary to enteryeae right
array. But Douglas holds to no such FEEDER
alistic idea.
