atorial term has expired. The Lieutenant Gov

Acting Warden of the State Prison. ''
Mr.. Attorney Generals opinion ought to be
very good, but we shall entertain an opinion new
erthecss that Mr.. Quinn's Senatorial term has
not expired. His term, we shall contend, does
not expire till the first of January next, or at
least not till after the fall election when his sue
cessor is elected. If special session of the Leg
islature were called this summer We apprchend
Mr. Quinn would be entitled to a seat in the
Senate. strange state of things would be
presented if he were not In case Of urgency
the Legislature would consist of but one half a
Senate and no House. unless time were expended
to elect new members to make the Houses com

APPRoPRIATIoNs-PRoDiG OF THE LEG
IsLArURE.-The Sacramento Union of Saturday
last contains a list of appropriations made by
the late Legislature. The beat of it has never
been seen even in this extravagant of allextrav-
agant States. The amount foots up 81 ,464, ,5s7-
nearly million and a half! And yet, the Union
remarks, this is not all. Other sums were voted
but no provision being made to pay them they
will remain to become claims before the next
Legislature.
Our poor State is bound to be Aeeced on all
hands. Reform is the cry word before elections,
but how miserably are we duped in the end !!
There seems to be 10 cessation to piliage. Ev-
cry candidates business before election is to
preach retrenchment, and reform. Every off,
GERS business after his term of service, is to
shirk the responsibility of his acts, or retire on

THE CHARLESTON PLArForM-From tn,

platforms, wanted to take the old one put
up at Cincinnati, which has let Mr., Buchan-
an through till he hangs by the eye-lids.
One President having been executed on it,
Butler wants to try another. 1t is quite
probable that the Cincinnati platform NAV
be again erected. Being susceptible of diff
ferent meanings, it is very available in
strument to secure one section and cheat
the other. At any rate if the old platform
is not called into requisition again, few
new one.
The telegraph has it that the Douglas
men at Charleston were in favor of declar-
ing the rights of property Federal in char

previously expressed opinions of Douglas,
who has maintained quite the reverse Still
We will not be surprised to see Douglas

There is however brave if not honest
element in the Democratic party which fa-

which commands respect for bodncss and

would scorn any subterfuge but would
meet every question like men openly and

Court for an injunction to compel the State Con-

care of the conviets in the State Prison. Judge
Hardy contends that to award the writ asked
for would be to take from the hands of those to
whom the Constitution has intrusted tie Treas

effect it is a disguised mode of suing the State; a

ESs5@ The Democrat states the Dem 0cratlc
vote in 1856 to have been in Ohio, Indiana,
Michigan, Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin,
the fifteen Southern States, COS, 1887 votes
The figures may be correct But it does
rot follow from these figures that Douglas
is not fully represented in the Charleston
Convention in proportion to his strength in
the party. In 1856 there was strong
American party in the South, wanting but
slight percentage of half the vote of the
section. There is no such party now. 1t
hus. with some honorable exceptions, be-
come sunk in the locofoco party. Probably
the Democratic vote of the fifteen southern
States is to-day SOC. .000 strong or somewhere
near that figure while there is no evidence
that the Democratic party in the six North
Western States could poll the vote it did in
1856. The probabilities are quite strong
that the vote will fall below that given four
years ago The dissensions in the party
have not added to It's numbers certainly,
and the letter of Millard Fillmore we re-
published from the n Y Tribune some time
since is considered true indication Of the
feelings OF IA vast majority of the old Amer
cans Of the North. Beyond James Brooks
and u very small squad of adherents, there
cannot he found a corporals guard of the
old Americans going into the Democratic
party. When these facts are taken into
consideration, it remains for our neighbor
to take the census of simon pure Douglas
men. and Administration men separate in
the South and North West TO demonstrate
that Douglas is not represented at Charles
ton according to his real strength in the
party.
The Democrat proposes to give figures to
Prove that Douglas is the exponent of
majority of the Democratic party when the
vote at Charleston Is announced. That vote
will demonstrate nothing, for, as we said on
a former occason, there are thousands in the
party who despise Douglas from the bottom
OF their souls, but who are impressed with
the idea that he is the only man who can be
elected against the Republican nominee
He is rot an exponent of theirs, certainly.

Horrid Massacre by Indians mt the Great
Bend OF the Carson.

VIRGINIA CITY, May sth, 1860.
Last night most horrid massacre was
perpetrated by the Indians below the great
bend of the Carson. Mr. j. Williams ar
rived at Buckland's, near the bend, and
gave information of the murder of his two
brothers, and five other men at the same
hour, and the burning of the house after or
during the preparation of this shocking
butchering. On his way up, Mr.. Williams
called at two other houses on the opposite
side of the river. The doors were open. but
loud calling, though at short distance,
failed to induce any signs of life about the
premises. He surposes all were murderel
They number some twelve or thirteen more
The Indians are about FIVE hundred strong
and all mounted. They pursued him to
within six miles of Buckland's and gave up
the chase.
The Pony Express dispatched three hors-
es and riders, and through them we have
received the dreadful intelligence. Mr.. ].
Bartoies and J. II. Smith brought the
news.
party of seventeen, that left here this
day for the Pyramid, were met at Miller's
station, ten miles from here They were
notified of the act, and have stopped for the
night. 1t is to be feared that Buckland' S
station may be attacked tonight. Efforts
are making here now to go to the relief of
border settlers, and bring them in; also for
the relief of the stations. Much excitement
prevails.
Second Dispatch.-S P. M.-A committee
of five has been appointed. Consisting OF
Col Whitman, L. Nightingale Geo Ashe,
Henry Meredith and Capt. Johns, to make
arrangements for forming company of vol
unteers and scouts to protect settlers, and
warn paaties in the mountains near the des-
ert, of their danger.
Third Dt.pateh.--Capt. Leonard's COM
pany, from San Juan, of II men, have gone
on to Bucklands tonight, to defend that
station.

THE PRIZE FIGHT.-An extraordinary de-
gree of interest was manifested in this city
on hearing of the arrival of the late Pony
Express, to learn the result of the fight be-
tween Heenan and Savers. Watching the
masses soon after the full news was circu-
lated, we became convinced they took a
great deal more interest in the fight than
in the doings of the Charleston Convention.
Two out of three, we estimate, of those
who read. sought for the news from the
ring first on receiving their papers, aud the
largest crowds assembled where the account
Of the prize fight was read aloud. na-
tional pride was at stake, and however
much moralists NAV condemn the morbid
taste for the brutality of the ring, the lover
/ the invincibility and patriotism of his
4 countrymen. from the zeal with which they
/ espouse the cause Of one Of their number
! who has boldly crossed the ocean to droop
the plume of the champion of rival nation.
/ The masses sympathize with him, admire
his boldness, boast of his prowess, and will
glory in his triumph.
The accounts of the fight are not clear.
One report has it that Heenan's eyes were
quite closed at the last round How he got
Sayers' head in chancery when blind will
remain a mystery till the next Pony Express
arrives. The time occupied in the fight is
yariously given. One account says both
went TO grass on the last round. We give
in another column the best report of the
fight which has yet arrived.
