MARRIAGE IN CAL1FoRNIA-A rather singu
lar state of things exists with respect to the
social relations in California. There are
numerous marriages outside of the ceremonie:
of priest or magistrate. man and woman
take fancy to each other, vow love and
fidelity, live together, have offspring, and
never dream of marriage ceremony. The
law of this State, as expounded by our Courts,
makes such unions lawful marriages to all in
tents and purposes, after they have existed
If we recollect Alright, for period of five or
six years After the lapse of that period, sae
couple are husband and wife, and neither can
dissolve the bond with the other. The prop
erty of the man, If he dies, descends to the
children born Of that connection, and the sur
viving partner is entitled to her dowery.-
Marriage is considered in this State mere
civil contract, depending upon the mutual
agreement Of parties, and continued CO.
habitation for a period of FIVE or six wears, is
held as the best Of evidence Of such a con-
tract.
We cannot say that ruling like this en-
courages immorality,-on the contrary it
initiates against it, by preventing, as gen
eral thing long continued intercourse without
the seal of formal marriage The response
bilities ofthe one being as great as the other
there is no occasion for dispensing with the
full and perfect ceremonial, in those cases
where there is any sort of permanent attach
ment.

Doc SLEIGH.-We noticed yesterday, nt
Whiting h Co.'s Express office, dimunitivt
specimen of a sleigh which is to be sent tc
Buck Whiting, to be used by him in trans
porting express matter over the SHOWS in
Plumas county the coming winter. He has
dogs well trained to the business, and not
only transports his express IN this manner,
during the winter months, but frequently
carries passengers The sleigh which we
saw was manufactured at the establishment
of A. P. Spear of this city, and reflects great
credit upon the builder.

From LOWER CALIFoRNIA.-The Alta says
that the schooner Eliza arrived on Wednesday
at San Francisco from Lower California, hav.
ing among her passengers Gen. Jose Arano,
and several Others, political refugees who
participated in the revolution at La Paz, on
the 2lst Of August last. Arano's intention is
to proceed to his ranch at Watsonville, in
Santa Cruz county, there to await another
change in the political kaleidoscope in the
affairs of Mexico.
A third party is about being created in the
States of Sinaloa and Lower California by
certain of the dsaffected military chieftains,
who style themselves the Noderados in oppo-
sition to the two extremes of Liberals" and
conservatives"
The bark Catalina may be expected to ar
rive at San Francisco from Mazatlan in a few
days, with some thirty or forty exiled militia
rios, who were concerned in late pronuncia-
mento against the government of Don Placi-
do Vega, Governor of Snaloa.

SECESSION AT IT is, IN ITS TRUE ASPECT. y
We wrote an article. the other day, with this
caption, which the Express don't seem to
understand. 1t says:
"The Democrat of Wednesday in an article
on Secession as it is, in its true aspect" ad-
vances what seems to us to be very strange
doctrine. If We understand it Alright, it un-
dertakes to say that the Northern States have
Constitutional right to nullify and repudi-
ate the Fugitive Slave law. If its language
means anything it certainly bears that inter
probation"
Well, the language, we hope, means some
thing, and yet it means no such thing as that
the Northern States have right to nullify
and repudiate the Fugitive Slave law. What
we said was this: That the Fugitive Act OF
1898 was never obstructed by any State laws,
until Calhoun had enunciated his nullifca-
tion doctrines and defied and insulted the
North. Then, certain of the Free States
passed laws which, as sovereign States, they
had constitutional right to pass, obstruct-
ing somewhat the full enforcement of the
Fugitive Act. Such were the laws, for in.
stance as refused for the use of the Federal
Government the jails and prisons which were
set apart by the State for the imprisonment
Of persons convicted for local offenses, by the
local courts. These acts, we say, were viola
tions of comfy but not violations of the Con-
stitution of the United States. We do moi
approve of such violations, because the rules
of comfy should be observed but no man
can dispute the constitutional right of State
to attend to its own strictly local affairs, and
to control its own strictly local institutions.
If the Express will examine the subject
thoroughly, it will see that we are entirely
right.

From the S. +. Citizen:

re- The question is often askcd--"Why is it
that Dr.. j. G. Young is so successful while other
advertising Physicians are failing from day to
da p The answer must be or should be, plainly
apparent to all; it is, that he understands his
profession, and attends to it; and as his practice
increases his knowledge extends. SO close has
been his application to his unprecedented prac-
tice. that he is perfect master OF his profession.
and can insure all relief from their trouble: and
while Others are daily sinking into the oblivion
from which they were never lifted to be delivered,
his course is onward and upward. placing him at
the head Of his arduous profession. So great has
been his increase OF business that he has been
obliged to associate with himself two other physi-
clans, both Of extended knowledge and practice.
We would advise ali afflicted to call upon him in
preference TO any other Physician. We are in.
formed that he treats entirely on the vegetable
system, and will always warrant perfect cure.
His office is 2lO Clay street, opposite the upper
corner Of the Plaza.
From the Times and transcript.
There are thousands in this State suffering for
want of scientific medical treatment, and they
fear to apply to physician, because they have
been deceived, or their friends have been, by
some OF the charlatans who infest the community
and who publish themselves as good physicians
professors etc. To all such we unhesitatinrly
recommend DR.. J. G.. Young, physician in
whom all can place confidence. He is man of
eminent and profound study, a good surgeon. an
honorable man. and one who can sympathse with
persons in allction. His standing as physi Ian
and gentleman are both guaranteed the first by
his medical works, which are an honor to their
anthor, and the extensive and highly ucccssful
course Of practice with which he has been honor
ed since his advent in California; and the latter
by his numerous patrons and large circle of ac-
qullntances. We say to all afflicted, call on him,
as he will at once state the case to you, and you
may rely upon his jud gment. We like his prin-
ciple-no cure no pay.
