BsAL The following is the opinion of the Su.
preme Court in the Siskiyou Sheriffalty case =

preme Court in the Siskiyou Sheriffalty case =
At the general election held in September,
1859, the defendant was returned elected to the
Office of Sheriff of Siskiyou county, and the
present proceeding was taken to contest his
right to the office. motion to dismiss the
proceeding was oyerruled, and the defendant
declining to answer the statement filed by the
contestant, the Court without proof by either
party, rendered judgment annuling the election
of the defendant and awarding costs against
him. In this respect the ruling of the Court
was clearly erroneous. The public is interested
in contest of this character; it is not a matter
solely between the parties to the record, and
the popular will is not to be set aside upon
mere failure of party to respond to charges
alleged against his right by individual cleo
tor 1t is not sufficient that ample causes of
action be set forth in the statement filed by q
contestant it is requisite that their truth should
be established by clear proof before an election
can be annulled. The statute in terms provides
that the Court shall pronounce judgment after
hearing " the proofs and allegations of the par
ties which of course means such as may be
made by either or both. II no proof is given on
either side, the proceedings should he dismissed.
1t follows that the judgment must be reversed
and the cause remanded; and it is so ordered.

THE EYES! THE EYES!
DIR. e. II. PARDEE, Occulist.

A FTER protracted blindness of more than
n five years, DR. PARDEE has made himself
thoroughly and scientifically acquainted with all
diseases of the Eye, and has now been in prac-
tice eight years in San Francisco with success
that cannot be surpassed in any part of the
United States; and for proof Of this he will sub
stantiate by cases that have been cured by him,
after having exhausted the skill of all the emil
nent 0cculsts in the cities of Boston, Philadel-
phia and New York. DR.. P. wholly objects to
the use of caustic, blue stone-keeping the pa
tient in a dark room, dieting, bistering, cup
ping-the blue pill at night and salts in the
morning, etc. etc. DIR. PARDEE has also
been remarkably successful in the treatment of
Rheumatism, Neuralgia, and all pains about the
head and the frequent calls that he has for his
Rheumatic mixture from all parts of the coast,
with the many testimonials, is positive proof of
its efficacy and to prevent answering many in
quiries by letter, he wilstate that it can be sent
to any part of the State or coast, and each bot
tie will be accompanied by full directions and a
receipt for linment, magical in its effects over
pain, ingredients of which can be procured anv
where-price, SO. The ARTIFICIAL EYES
inserted by Dr. P. have all the natural move
ments of the real eye, and cannot be detected
even by close inspection. Address

gsA- Ferris Foreman and r. A. Thompson
were sent by Gov. johnson, to Washington, for
the purpose of asking President Pierce for aid
in putting down the Vigilance Committee. From
that day these men. have asked to be paid for
said service. The Legislatures of Is57-'5s and
SO refused to pay a cent toward the betrayal of
the pleasure excursion of these gentlemen, al
though each of those Legislatures was Demo-
cratic and Anti-vigilance. 1t remains for the
present legislature to discover the justice of the
claim, and SO these lucky hombres have been
allowed $4,000 each. But then the treasury is

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.

d. THE PROPRIETOR thankful for a
Hill liberal patronage, has increased his fa-
I'LL cilities by leasing and connecting that
large three story brick building adjoining On
California street.
We feel safe to say this extension is not sur
passed for convenience by any Hotel in Cali
fornia. 1t is superbly furnished, and the Par
lors and Ladies' entrance have been changed to
it.
The original building has undergone many
valuable changes, rooms enlarged, Gas and Wa
ter brought in, and is row being generally rem
ovated and improved.
The Hotel has now, for the accommodation of
Families, 20 large and commodious rooms, in
suites, besides those formerly for single per-
sons.
Attached to the House is Alden's Restaurant,
where lately has been fitted up, expressly for
Ladies and Families, a neat, large and airy sa-
loon, with prices to suit the most fastidous.

Lay him, oh silently
Down in the narrow tomb,
Stricken so violently
By the death doom.
As when the glacier sunders
From the proud mountain dome.
Crushing in ruin under,
Village and home,-
Like the fierce levin strewing
To earth the forests pride,
So leaped the sullen ruin,-
So hath he died.
One glance of terror nameless,
One prayer none living caught,
One struggle hopeless-aimless
One burning thought
Of kindred bosoms beating
Far towards the rising day,
And with pallid lips repeating,
"Why doth he stay"
With more than deatbly horror
Through his chilled bosom shot
In a thunder burst of sorrow
And he was not.
Lay him here, hastily
Heap the dust on his breast,
Mangled all ghastfully,
Yet shall he rest;
Let no pomp from pride borrowed,
Here its moekeries repeat
Place one rude stone at his forehead,
One for his feet,
And thus leave him uncherished
Whilst we our tolls resume,
Back to ply where be persisted,
Mocking his doom.
And o'er where he reposes,
By his mouldering form fed,
Springing violets and roses,
Beauty shall shed;
And in hearts that once measured
Their pulsebeats by his OWL,
Passing Time may find treasured,
One who is gone;
But Oblivon's grim twilight
Not for long may delay,
And remembrance and violets
Shall faint and decay. 4 MINER.

WELLER oS HIS FARM.-The Alameda Herald
tells the following anecdote of ex-governor
Weller, which is worth printing:
1t seems that a few days since. one of those
persons that are often met with in this conntrv
seeking employment, came to the premises Of
his Excellency, and found him pruning his vine
yard, which employment made it necessary to
diyest him OF his coat, and altogether gave hin,
the appearance of a real laborer. The stranger
approached the Governor, and the following
colloqay ensued al say, Cap, does the man thai
owns these premises want TO hire any more
help y mo sir, think not; he has all the helm
be wants at present" Right nice place, this. y
" Yes, this is very good FARM "Weli. Can.
if it's fair question, what wages do YOU Get
here" Oh, only get my board and clothes
and nothing to brag OF at that" sYoumust be
harder up than | am, to work for them prices. u
The Governor allowed his interrogation to depart
without correcting his mistake, and be contin-
ued to use the pruning knife.

cided that the children of negroes have no right
to be admitted into the common schools of that
State. If that same decision had been made by

TRUE.-A Folsom Republican, writing to the
5. F. Bulletin, says:
The Republican party in this State has been
cursed with set of self-co stituted leaders, who
(give them the control) would make it minor
ity party in the State Of Massachusetts, in two
years. They are unpopular with the people, on
account OF their egotism and sel6shness Their
self-conceit prompts them to thank God, contin-
Hdtty, that they are better than other people.
This last sentence truly characterizes the par
ty in every portion of the Union. Their whole
time seems to be taken up in passing laudations
upon themselves, and like the Pharisees and
hypocrites made mention of in Scripture, thank
ing God that they were better than other men

SOUTHERN BoLrERs-But for the fact that
certain professed Democrats-such as Pugh, of
Alabama, Crawford, of Georgia, and McQuean,
of South Carolina-refused to vote for McCler-
nand, of Illinois, for Speaker national man
would have been elected to that position, as the
South Americans had from the first asserted the
intention of voting for the Democratic nominee
whenever the Democratic party cast their whole
strength for him. This combination would have
exactly tied the Republican vote. Then, with
the vote of Stallworth, of Alabama, who would
soon have been sufficiently recovered to appear
in his seat national man would have had
clear majority, and Of course, been elected
But six traitors from the South, directed by Clay
and others, voted against McClernand, because
he was known the right hand man of Doug
las in the House, and thus were the cause of the
election OF Pennington, man who for many days
had voted for an endorser of the Helper book
The fact is, that class of Southern politicians
who voted against McCernand, favor dissolu-
tion of the Union. Hence their opposition to
Douglas. Besides these six, however, all the
rest of the Democrats in Congress voted for Nc
