on Monday, and after the disposition of nu.
merous minor offences, such as gaming, ira.

BELL AND HOUSTON VS.. RATES.

The mongrel crew composing the so-called
Opposition party, are beginning to evince, as
we predicted, strong disposition to over
look the whilom pre- eminent claims of John
Bell, aud are casting about for another man
possessed of more of the elements of popu-
larity. Mr.. Bates was not long since a very
general favorite with the Southern Opposi
ton, but without blush or a moments hes
itation he has unceremoniously entered the
ranks of the Black Republicans. Chagrin
ed and mortified, his Southern friends are
now afraid Of Mr. Bell, whose whole politi-
cal history, ever since it was proposed to an.
mex Texas, shows that he is not an over>
jealous defender of Southern rights. We
find from our exchanges that there is very
general disposition prevalent in the new
party to award to Gen. Houston the honor
once conferred upon Mr.. Fillmore of being
a candidate without being in the race. The
strongest feature presented by the facts un>
der consideration is this, that Gen. Houston
is violent in his antagonism to all Conven-
tions, aud yet it is gravely proposed to give
him the nomination of the coming opposi-
tion conclave at Baltimore.
Gen. Houston will ind it as difficult to
accept the nomination of the Baltimore Con-
vention if it be rendered him, after the pro-
mul lgation of his late letter denunciatory of
partizan Conventions as be will find it im>
possible to secure the support of single
State The only chance for Bell
or Houston in the next campaign is to com
pete with the Chicago nomination. It is
time that these two superanuated old trim.
mers, the one d Wing, the other Know
Nothing and renegade Democrat, were bet
ginning to adopt sure means of securing the
Chicago nomination. Bates should not have
the field to himself. Memphis Avalanche

PANoRAMA.-A number of citizens Of this
place, desirous Of testifying their appreeia-
ton Of the fidelity and skill with which Mr.
Tirrell has painted the grand and beautiful
scenery Of California, together with its towns
and cities, and the wonders of its mines, have
rendered him a complimentary testimonial at
the theater, this evening; and no doubt it
will be largely attended. Our theater.goers
have long admired the splendid drop curtain
of the Theater, which is the work of Mr. Tir
rell. and which is a beautiful painting, and
they have therefore been prepared to expect
no less an exhibition than that which they
have witnessed for the past few EVENING"
Tonight will be the last night of the Pano-
rama.

The Fight in Oregon.

The prospects are that Gen. 10. Lane, OF
Oregon, will not be reelected to the United
States Senate. We are sorry that some good
sound Democrat cannot be elected in his place,
but cannot say that we grieve much over the
loss Of Lane. He has been at best but a
crooked lane, and has made many a turn,
but this is his last. He has been a long lane,
too. and far too long a public lane. 1t is
time for him to go to grass.
Had the fight in Oregon been made against
the Republicans by some Democrat in no
wise connected with the odiums of the pres
ent Administration, there is little doubt that
the battle would have been a triumph for
the Democracy, in every part of the field
thel contest for U. S. Senatorship and all
But, this would not suit the Administration.
Some supple tool of the President, like 10
Lane, must lead the Democratic forces. and
refuse better Democrats than he a partici-
patton in the contest upon a fair and equal
footing The victory must be complete
Lecompton victory or nothing. 1t is likely
to be pretty much nothing.
Such has been the lesson taught this Ad-
ministration, ever since it began its tortous
career In almost every instance, in which
the test has neutrality-suspicious. simple and
pure-the people have come down with a
mountains weight upon the men and the
effort Anybody but 10 Lane" say the
Oregonians, and no wonder.
They wont better the matter, by putting
Black Republican in his place, but will
they make it any worse2 That question may
best be answered by looking at the prrticu-
lar kind of Democracy which attaches to Jo
Lane We might in common with other
Democrats desrous of harmony, have forgiv-
en- him for his Lecomptonism, wretchedly
anti Democratic as it was, but with a seces-
sionist we eau have no sympathy. Is 10
Lane a secessionlst? Certainly. What, a
northern man, and secessionist? Even so
And here is the proof When the fifty
Southern disunionists and traitors to the De-
mocracy left the Charleston Convention, on
account of the refusal of the majority to
adopt platform favoring Congressional In
reference with the subject of slavery in the
Territories, Jo Lane telegraphed from Wash
ington to the Oregon delegation, advising,
nay urging, them to go ont with the Boilers
The delegates, Notwithstanding they were
Lane men, dared not obey orders. Why2
Because they knew it would be their politi-
cal death-warrant in Oregon.
Now, we would ask any sound National
Democrat, wherein is there preference be-
tween such a man as this and a Northern
Disunionist or Abolitionist? 1t would be
hair-splitting business to tell the difference
between them.

BADLY SoLD.-In carpenters shop in this
city an American and Frenchman have been
working for several days past Yesterday
morning the American performed such
strange antics as astonished and alarmed the
Gaul Upon consulting with the next door
neighbor. Monsieur was informed that S. (the
American) was crazy and had formerly spent
two years in Stockton, and was advised to
get policeman and have him secured. Off
TO the police office posted Frenehy, and told
his story, but the policeman whom he met
scenting large specimen of the genus mus
remarked that he hadn't jurisdiction in the
case, and said that the Sheriff was the man
to attend to it. The sheriff wasn't at home
but an obliging deputy, taking with him an
assistant, repaired to SIS quarters, remarking
that he would soon find him. When S. saw
the three enter the shop, he tried to look
'delirious," but it was mo go" and turning
to the assistant with an audible smile he
shouted, "Hello Fred, what are you after
here?" Without replying, Fred walked
straight through the open back door, follow
ed by the deputy, and person. whom they
passed in the alley, thinking he heard them
say something was to be cold cheap, hurried
after them to the Court House to secure
bargain The poor Frenchman was dumb
founded and stood sdnS an idea till the afore.
mentioned next door neighbor slipped in and
whispered him to get physician and have
SIS sanity tested. A light seemed suddenly
to break in upon him, but he said not a word
nor smiled smile. Quietly resuming his
work he seemed utterly oblivious of all that
was going on about him. When we passed
by the shop, hours later in the day, S. was
laughing yet

YELLOW FEVER IN AoAPULco.-A private
letter from a gentleman who went passenger
on the steamship Sonora, Capt Baby, dated
Acapulco, May 2Sth, assures the San Fran
cisco Herald that the yellow fever was rag
ing in that place and had carried off nearly
all the American and European residents.
Capt Baby permitted none of the passengers
to land, and took every precaution to save
his ship, passengers and crew from the in
feetion. No case had occurred on board, and
it was thought that there would be none.
The disease is reported to be of the most ma
fgnant type, and the correspondent begs the
Herald to caution all who may leave Califor-
MIA for Panama, to be extremely careful on
their arrival at Acapulco, at least for some,
time to come.

FROM CENTRAL AND South AMERtcA-We e
have advices from Peru to the 14th ult., and
from Panama to the 26th ult. The Panama
Star has the following intelligence
PERU.-The French line of battle ship Dug
nay Trouin, 90 guns, Admiral Larren, with
II. ]. Ms Charge dAffaires, Baron Lesseps,
on board; frigate of 40 guns and another
French vessel of war, were at Callao. 1t was
feared that hostilites might ensue, but up to
the present everything has been arranged
quietly and the French officials treated with
the highest honor by the Peruvian Govern
ment. 1t is expected that everything will be
amicably arranged.
EoUADoR-Reports from Ecuador state
that Gen. Ayarza had been detected plotting
against Garcia Moreno and banished in irons
to the banks of the Napo. This is considered
triumph for the Quito faction. frances
forces had retaken the province ofManabi.
We have head rumors of war. says the
Panama Star, between Salvador and Nicara-
qua, but are without particulars.
The Star also says: A considerable quanti-
ty of golden images from the Guacas of Chi
riqui have been lately received in town.
They were extracted from the lately discov
cred Guacas, to the westward of those which
proved 20 productive last year. We learn
that about $4,000 worth have been ex-
tracted. A number of Indian graves have
also recently been discovered in COST Rica,
and are now being examined so far they
have been found to contain stone images and
potteryware.

Meeting of Young Men.

Certain very worthy young men of this
city met, Wednesday evening. and entered
into preliminary organization of a Young
Mems Debating Club. They will hold an.
other meeting on Saturday evening, for the
purpose of completing their organization.
This is very good move on their part,
and we hope it will be generally entered
into by the young men of this city. Far too
many of them are wasting their lives in dis
sipation or idleness, and may be found loung-
ing around the public saloons when they
should be occupied in reading or study.
little recreation is well enough, but uniform
indolence, whether mental or physical is de
ploiable. The youth who acquires habit
of listless lounging around town, instead of
employing his mind in some useful occupa
tion, is planting within himself seeds which
will one day bring forth bitter fruit. The
faculty of arousing and of concentra !ing the
mind, at will, is the divinest of powers, and
can alone be acquired by discipline 1t is
the grand secret of the success of more than
half the great men of the earth
Debating Clubs have been the schools in
which many of the leading men of Europe
and America have been trained. There
Henry Clay first learned the might of heaven
born eloquence and how best to cultivate
the divine gift. These clubs stimulate de-
sire to read, from the necessity which they
impose of being well informed as to history
and literature and science. They cannot but
be productive of good, and we hope this one
will flourish. In Sacramento there is very
flourishng society of the kind, and several
we believe, in San Francisco. There are also
similar ones in other parts of the State.

Creek Indians near there. He represents
them as peaceable and industrious, but they

they do not object to their coming there.
The Pah-Utahs, and all the Indians he talked
with seemed to be thoroughly acquainted
with the state of affairs existing between
the whites and Indians. They desire to avoid

STRANGE PROCEEDINGS AT THE GALLows.-
Philip George, who was to have been hung
at Corvillas, Oregon, on the 25th May, for
the murder of Clark, was respited at the gal
lows, for thirty days. The Corvillas Union
says:
Everything was in readiness, the Sheriff
read the warrant to George in the hearing of
the people, and then announced the fact OF
the respite, which, we are informed from
reliable source, was the first intimation to
the prisoner of the fact, who had already
shaken hands with those arouud him and
bode farewell and signiied his willingness
to go, protesting a hope of salvation AT
this juncture the Sheriff proposed to take
vote of the people present as to whether he
should obey the writ of execution or the re-
spite. Some confusion prevailed, and some
symptoms of excitement were manifested.
After parleying for awhile he determined to
take the prisoner back to Jail.
We have no appreciation for the farce that
was enacted at the gallows. The Sheriff GER
talnly committed grave error in taking the
prisoner from the Jail, if he did not intend to
execute him. 1t was an imposition upon the
prisoner at solemn hour. The cause of the
desire that the prisoner should be induced TO
make statement was, that some vague hints
were atioat that tale of scandal was in some
way connected with the murder There was
an Immense crowd in attendance, estimated
from 1900 to 2000

pretty near hitting her. 1t only misses her
