ANOTHER STATE PR1soN REvoLT-On
Sunday afternoon, says the San Francisco

their way from the Prison to San Rafael dis
tant some four miles, in charge of guard,
while passing through narrow gorge on
the road, turned on the guards and beat one
of them badly and four Of the prisoners es
capped. One of them was named Silver
thorn, the other names we could not learn,
but one of the escapaJes has since returned
to the prison, and brought with him the pis-

The STATE PRIsoN CAsE.-The following
is the substance of the decision of the Su.
preme Court in the case Of the State .. Nc.
Cauey and Tevis: The act Of March 2l, ls56,
was constitutional, and the contract under it
was valid and binding upon the State. As
to the demurrer, we must look to the case
made in the complaint, and we are clear
that the State is not entitled to rescison OF
the contract upon her own showing. In the
first place, she has equally failed to perform
the contract on her part. She neglected to
make the monthly payments as they became
due, and for months previous to the institu-
ton of the present suit she refused to make
any payments whatever. And the rule is
general, that the right to rescind a contract
rests only with the party who is without de-
fault In the second place, the contract has
been in part performed, and the parties can
not be restored to their original position.
The right of rescision cannot exist under
such circumstances. In the third place, the
State does not offer to make restitution OF
the property received, or pay the value OF
the claims relinquished at the execution Of
the contract, or to payiwhat she owes in the
complaint remains due thereon. Such res.
titutiou and payment must precede the right
of the State to ask for rescsion. When
the State has complied, in good faith, with
her own engagements. it will be time to
consider whether she can invoke the inter
position of Court of Eqnity to cancel her
contract for breaches of it's stipuations by
the lessee, or those who represent him.
Judgment affirmed.

VEroED.-The Bu!khead bil-that had
more warm friends and bitter enemies than
any other measure before the Legislature the
present session-has been brought up all
standing 10y the Gubernatorial veto; at which
there has been much rejoicing as well as
strong condemnation. The Governor found,
in his estimation, Constitutional objections
to the bill, but lawyers say these objections
are not we'll founded. Such being the case,
then his other reasons-that the franchise
was too "bg and good thing" to give to
any Company, must stand in support Of the
veto. But we are not going to discuss the
matter-from all the lights before us we be-
lieved BuIkhead was necessity; that it
woul! have been impolitic and ruinous for
the State or city Of San Francisco to have
undertaken it's construction, and that the
wo;k would be better and more cheaply
done by private Company. The only ques-
ton, then, with us, was, who should have the
franchise? The San Francisco Dock anil
Wharf Company, representing large capl-
tai, appeared as the sat, st and most respon-
sible parties upon whom to confer the work,
and under a bill properly guarded, we heliev-
ed they should receive it. hue and cry
was raised against the Company by conflict
ing interests at San Francisco, which pre,en.
ded to represent the public voice there
We do not believe it did, although satisfied
that public sentiment was divided upon the
subject; and we'll it might be upon local
measure involving so great a monied in
ter st.
We will not undertake to say that the bill
was free from objections, as we did not feel
sufficient interest in it to keep pace with its
various changes by amendment, but we dc
assert that the only way in which to buid
the Bulkhead is by private companies, and
that the Governors veto only postpones the
construction of the work upon plan thai
must yet be adopted in its important fea
lures while in the meanwhile the gradual
filing in of the harbor will be going on tC
its great injury. Gov. Downey has nc
doubt previously disappointed Company
of anxious capitalists, but he has not i'm
proved the condition of that most misera
bic of all city fronts. Whether he has prov
ed himself a public benefactor admits o
much doubt

FATAL ACCIDENTAL Green Valley
Placer county, on Thursday, April 18th, as
we are advised by correspondent, a miner
known by the name Of Frederick Wilson,
while working in tunnel was killed by a
rock falling on him. AS it is believed that
he was possessed Of considerable means in
money and mining claims, and otherwise, it
is considered necessary that this notice shall
appear in order that his heirs might look
after the same. Deceased said he was of
Dutch descent, and from Pennsylvania. He
left home when about ten years of age, and
followed the sea previous to coming to Cali
fornia. He appeared to be about ,hirty-ive
or forty years of age. 1t is doubtful wheth.
er Frederick Wilson was his real name. On
dressing the body, previous to interment,
there was discovered on his left arm, near
the shoulder, the letters &c. O. H." and on
the right arm, above the wrist, crucfx
picked with Indian ink. Deceased has been
in that neighborhood since 1858; was a man
of about five feet nine inches; had very fair
hair; light complexion and high forehead

Interesting Discovery,

For some time back Mr.. VIM. Gwvnn has
been engaged in opening a fine marble quar-
ry, and erecting new style Of lime kiln
known as the perpetual kiln" near Whiskey
Bar, in Ell Dorado county, some seven miles
distant from Auburn. In the early part of
this week the workmen, in getting out slabs
of marble, discovered an aperture in the
rock, through which came current Of air
with moaning sound, that awakened their
curiosity, and upon examination, to their as
tonishment and delight they found they had
discovered cave of considerable size. Upon
entering the cave with lights, chamber was
found more than one hundred feet in length,
by about twenty-five in width, with lofty
ceiling, from which depended countless sta
lactites that in their briliancy rivalled the
crbe<l as brilliant and beautiful beyond des
crption. Further ex; loraton demonstrated
the existence of another chamber, in which
was pool of clear water; and through an
other small passage way, barely large enough
for man to creep, third chamber was
found, that is thought to be larger than
either of the Others, but had not been fully
explored when our informer was there. We
have seen some of the stalacttes and stalag-
mites, that are curiosties but they are seen
to the greatest advantage only in the caves,
where they appear in gorgeous beauty while
rejecting the light thrown upon them by
the torch of the explorer.
We are Informed that the proprietor will
reserve these caves from spoiIaton, but will
open them SO as to be Of easy access to
visitors. A large number of residents of
the vicinity have already visited them, who
are enthusiastic in their attempted descrip-
ton Of them. At present the accumulation
of mud upon the floors is serious ncon-
venience to pleasure seekers. 1t is thought
that other caves may yet be found; but it is
not expected the Mammoth Cave in Ken.
tuckv will be outrivallel.
The quarry being opened at the caves,
produces a marble susceptible of fine
polish, and will be found suitable for luild-
ings, floors, mantes, pavements, etc. 1t is
taken out any desirable size-some slabs
being twenty feet in length. The broken
marble will be burnt for lime, and the slabs
will be sawn, by machinery driven by water
power on the ground, into sizes suited for
market.
