Two INAueuRATIoNs IN One WEEK.-On
Saturday last, the 14th inst, Milton S. La
than, the United States Senator elect, who
had been inaugurated Governor of Califor
mia the previous Monday, resigned the latter
position, and Lieut.. Governor Downey was
duly inaugurated as his successor. The new
executive made q briefand modest address,
and intimated that be should follow the line
of policy indicated by Latham. The latter
sails for Washington on the 9Th of February.
The State has hardly yet recovered from the
surprise of his election, and some of the
Journals of his party which had worked in
the interest of other gentlemen for the same
position, did not submit Democratically until
after little headed growing This
class say Latham was bound in honor to
serve out his gabernaterial term, but others
consider the tempting nature of the offer
made him by the famous fifty-six as beyond
the power of ambition to refuse, and forgive
him on that score. Political outsiders are
generally satisfied, and in the fact that our
young Senator is thorough Californian,
whose name and fortune are identified with
the State, discern much hope for the future.

The HEspERIAN.-The number for January
is excellent. 1t contains lithograph of the
Salses, or Mud Volcanoes of the Colorado
desert, ofwhich curious objects the following
extract from the description by DR.. Veatch,
will give partial idea:
"The steam jets of the Salses issue from
conical mounds of mud, varying from three
to twelve feet in hight, the sides presenting
various angles, some being sharp and slender
cones, others dome-shaped mounds that
seemed to have spread and fattened out with
their own weight, upon the discontinuance
of the action that formed them, Out of some
of the cones the steam rushes in a continu-
Gus stream, with roaring or whizzing
sound, as the ori6ces vary in diameter or the
jets differ in velocity. In others the action
is intermittent, and each recurring rush of
steam is accompanied by discharge of hot
mud, masses of which are thrown sometimes
to the hight of a hundred feet"
The second illustration in the Hesperidn
represents Towering plant from Cedros Is
land, which deserves its poetical name of the
"Humming Birds Dinner Horn" Among the
literary contents is forcibly written argu-
ment in favor of selling the mineral lands,
from the pen of Jno. S. Hittel. The views
of the writer on this subject have been made
known to the public heretofore through the
columns of the Sacramento Union, and are
well worthy presentationina in more condensed
form. The subject is an important one; not
to be dismissed with sneer, but seriously
considered.

THE Arizona correspondent of the F.

The Arizona correspondent of the S F.
Times. says:
II am very credihly informed that in 1850
the commanding officers at the copper mines,
between the Gila aud Rio Membres, invited
the Apache Chiefs to the council board to
agree upon treaty of peace. No sooner
had the head men of the warlke tribes laid
down their weapons and assembled around
the camp fire to smoke the calumet of peace,
then orders were given to fire upon them
Some were killed while others ran away, ut
terly astonished and amazed at the cruel
treachery practiced upon them. They did
not hesitate to declare that there was no con-
6dence to be placed in American officers
Acts such as this have maddened them to
desperation"
One of the editors of this paper spent the
winter of 1850 at the Copper Mines of New
Mexico, alluded to above, and can positively
assert, that no incident of the kind here
narrated, occurred at that place. A regular
military post Was not established there until
80 or '53.

THE SIAMEsE TwINs.-These brothers, so
singularly united, are to exhibit at Marys-
vile on Monday and Tuesday next As there
is good reason to believe they will visit this
place before long, the following sketch OF
their history, from "Life Ilustrated," may
prove interesting:
They were born in a small village called
Maklong, on the coast of Siam, in May 1911,
their parents being Chinese. They areunited
together by strong cartilaginous cord pro-
ceeding from the lower part of the breast of
each. On the lower edge and center of this
cord is single ufnbilicus, to which was at
tached the umbilical cord through which
they received their common nourishment
while in the fetal state. This fact would
seem to mark them as little more than a
duplex form of one being, which idea seems
farther carried out by the singular physio-
logical and psychological sympathes which
characterize them. When one is sick the
other is sick; when one is hungry the other
is hungry; most generally they both go to
sleep and awake at the same instant, though
this is not always the case. So also in
general, the physiological functions of the
system of one are discharged coincdently
with those of the other; and IN their likes
and dislikes, and all their mental emotions,
there appears to be the most intimate
sympathy between them. These twins,
Chang and Eng by name were brought
from Siam, April l, 1929, by Capt. Coffin, of
the American ship Sachem, and landed at
Boston in August of the same year They
were subsequently exhibited extensively in
the United States, after which they went to
Europe, where they also excited great curl
osity They continued to give public exhib-
itions in this country and Europe up to the
year 1910, when they purchased a farm at
Mount Airy, in North Carolina, which, with
the aid of few slaves, they have continued
to cultivate up to this time, being successful,
as they inform us, in making therown bread
| and butter.
Two years after they settled on their farm
they married two sisters, and by these they
have become the fathers, Chang of seven,
and Eng of eight children. Two of these
children accompany them on their present
exhibition.
Though the memory of their native village
is still fresh in their minds, having left 1T
when eighteen years of age, they inform US
that they have lost the use of their ver1acu-
lar tongue, but instead thereof they have
acquired very facle useof the English Ian
guage, in which they converse with fuency,
and answer all proper questions put to them
by their visitors, with intelligence and affa-
bility.

GIVE Us THE NAME.-A copy of the Hydraulic
Press, of Dec. Sth, was returned to this Office
day or two ago, without post-mark, with note
written the margin, to the effect that the per-
son to whom it was addressed had ''not resided
there in the last six MONTHS" but that he had
removed to Rough & Ready" Now, as the ad-
dress was on the wrapper alone, which had been
torn off, and the postmaster returning the paper
neglected to impress it with his stamp, neither
know the name of the subscriber nor the office
to which his paper is directed. If this should
meet the proper postmaster's eye, we request
that he should furnish US withrhe required infor-
nation.

THE GOVERNMENT PAYs.-The Alta says that
John B. Weller has accepted the appointment of
Minister to Mexico, rendered him by Mr.. Bu-
chanan, ,and will sail from San Francisco on the
steamer of the Goth inst
twill be at least two months before Mr. Weller
can get to the City of Mexico, and enter upon a
discharge of his duties. This would be, say the
Goth of February. BY the Goth of March, at the
farthest, Old Abe will have designated Mr.. Wei
ler's successor. But, as it is to be presumed
Mr.. Weller would scorn to hold office for day
under ''Black" Republican, he will unquestion-
ably resign on the 4th of March. His term of
service, therefore, would consist of precisely
twelve days; for which, including outfit, Unfit,
and six months advance salary, he would receive
the handsome sum of between twenty and thirty
thousand dollars Is it any wonder the Nation
al Treasury is bankrupt?

The CoLLEcToRsHIP.-An esteemed friend
writes'us from Nevada, to enlist our sympathies,
we presume-for of course he could expect us to
have no influence with Republican Administra-
tion-in behalf of John c. Birdseye, of that
place, for Collector of the Port of San Francisco.
He tour friend, who is not Republican, either
speaks enthusiastically of Mr.. Birdseye as a good
citizen, competent man for the position, gen.
tleman of industry, honor and integrity. We
are willing to take all these assertions as so much
gospel truth. We also ready to believe every
thing which the Journal and Appeal have written
in his favor and saying thus much, from
"bird's-eye view" of the question, conclude our
friend will give us credit for having in some de-
gree complied with his request. Had we per-
sonal acquaintance with the gentleman named,
1tis probable we should indorse him on our own
responsibility. AS it is, we take him ON trust
1t would be gratifying to us to see good men
selected from Nevada county to fill any of the
Offices within Old Abe's gift.

The Electoral Vote.

EDITORS PRESS AN article appeared in the
last number of your paper, on the above subject,
I in which the philosophical and logical writer
makes great effort to prove that the Welsh cit
izens of North San Juan, as well as of other
places, are traitors and unfaithful'to the prrci-
.ples which they profess to advocate and that
they will vote for one of their countrymen, what
ever are his principles. Mr.. sBroderick Dem
ocrat," it is not so. We, as general thing, are
the children of liberty. We have left our native
Gwalia, driven by the hand of oppression, and
found an asylum under the wings of the angel of
Liberty and we rejoice to find habitation where
Liberty has erected her standard and her white
banners are waving triumphantly in the breezes
of human equality. We love liberty. 1t is dear
to our hearts. We love the rights of men. We
hate oppression. Our fathers fought many
bloody battles in the Old World, aswell as the
New, for their rights and liberties. Thous-
ands and thousands of Columbians have sealed
the doctrine with their blood Who was the
founder of that glorious and inestimable boon of
civil liberty? The immortal Roger Williams, a
native of Wales; and his brothers this side the
briny deep would rather lose every drop of their
blood od'befote'they would betray the great princi-
pies of liberty. And now, Mr. "Broderick Dem
ocrat is it right, it just for you, or any One
to condemn whole class for the political delin-
'quencies of few? Will you condemn the entire
American army because a few of its soldiers left
their brothers in arms to jointhe Mexican forces?
Do you not know sthat. you will find black sheep
among the white ones? Don't you know that
we have plenty of blacklegs, and outcasts of So
ciety among the good citizens of ;theplaces
Now, let us examine passage of Mr.. "Brod-
chick Democrats" logical epistle: "Here we have
a large Welsh population, nearly all of whom
are Republicans" sNearly all of whom"-not
all, if there should happen to be only five or six
Democrats among the large Welsh population.
How can he, or any man, blame the Welsh Re-
publicans of this place? How many votes did
Mr.. Griffith receive from the Welsh people of this
place and Sweetland? We answer, only from
five to seven. That is strong proof that they
would not sacrifice their principles for any man
under the sun of heaven.
If all the Republicans in and around our -four
ishing village would have shown half so much
principle at the late election as the Welsh did,
the consequence would have been the success of
straight Republican ticket. They are, as
class, what they profess to be. And now, Mr.
"Broderick Democrat, if you are gentleman
you will prove that your insulting charge is true,
or recall your words. Please give us your proper
name the next time. Yours,
CyMRO

''and ifit shall appear that majority of the
electors voting at such election, have voted in
favor of Convention" etc., then the Ccnven-

did not vote for it. 1t was defeated by 173 of a
