SUIT FOR THE VALUE OF THE ELEPHANT GO

had in the Supreme Court Of Massachusetts,
upon suit brought against the town Of Adams
by the Administrator Of the estate Of James
Raymond, to recover $4,000, the alleged value
Of the elephant Columbus, which received inju-
ries from which he died, by the breaking Of
bridge at South Adams. The question submit
ted to the Court was whether the plaintiff could
recover. even If the facts were as alleged The
defendants claimed that they were not liable,
and that there was no obligation upon them to
maintain roads and bridges safe and convenient
for the driving Of elephants over them for exhi-
btion, but that if the plaintiff chose to use their
roads and bridges for that purpose, he did it at
his own risk. The Court have decided for the
plaintiff, 80 far as 70 express the opinion that the
case should be submitted to jury, upon the
evidence. It will probably be tried At the fall
term of the Court

II anything were necessary to demonstrate the
utter hypocrisy Of those Democratic Senators
who voted for the Homestead Bill as agreed
upon by the Committee Of Conference, on the

in the fact that when the President returned the

iu The negative, as our readers are aware;

There would be'no Douglas party in Califor-
MIA to-day, If Republicans had not given Cur
rey about 10000 votes last year, Mhrysville
Appeal.
The Republicans never gave Currey TO-
900 votes, nor quarter Of that number.
They gave Currey about as many votes as
they gave Latham; and when those that left
their party last year go back to their first
love, 1t will be about stand off, 70 far as
other parties are concerned, and effect
nothing. There is no doubt that nne-tenths
of the voters who supported Currey last
year will vote for Douglas at the election
in November; and as Douglas stands upon
the same platform that Latham was on last
year, and Is the regular nominee Of the
Democratic party, 1t is reasonable to sup
pose thai he will get the votes Of all those
who honestly supported the principles and
platform upon which Aatham was elected.

SANTA BARBARA ITEMs.-The Santa Bar
bara Gazette, of October llth, contains the fol-
lowing items:
A company of explorers, under the guidance
of Don Augustin Janssens, went out lately IN
search of the silver mine. formerly known as
the College Mine. Though unsuccessful in
finding that prolific mine, their laborious jour
ney has not proved fruitless. They brought in
number of specimens Of quartz which promise
to give large yield of both gold and silver.
The feast of st. Francis ofAssisium was Gel
ebrated with great eclat at the Mission on the
4fh. Solemn high mass was sung by one Of
the Rev. Fathers, assisted by Deacon and Arch
deacon. A large corps Of vocal and instrument
tai musicians lent their valuable services on the
occasion. After the church services, splendid
collation. was spread in the convent by the good
fathers, to which the invited guests did ample
Justice.
Some contemplate scouhdrel entered the Con-
vent OF the Franciscan Fathers, at the Mission,
and stole from the room of Very Rev.. Father
Gonzalez valuable watch, which was highly
priced by the good Father, as a present from
an esteemed deceased friend. The rascal who
could rob poor friar, would not stop to steal
the coppers from dead mans eyes.
A horrid murder was perpetrated,, at Las
Cruces, on Monday last, by which half breed
met an untimely end at the hands Of Sono-
ranian. The assassin was Immediately arrested
and brought into the county Jail. Thus we now
have two murderers in prison awaiting trial.

The GAME OF TIE YAECErITEs.-ln bis
late speech at Norfolk, Va, Mr.. Douglas
said:
Lincoln has no hope Of being elected ex-
eept through the efforts of the secessionsts,
who have divided the Democratic party
supposing that Breckinridge would carry
every Southern State-tbough it now seems
be is not going to carry single one by the
people. Still, by dividing the North. he
gives every one of the States TO Lincoln,
thus allowing him to he elected by the pop
nlak vote. Why. what was the true aspect
of the contest before the secession? Lin
coin had no show whatever for more than
two States till the Breckenridge division
took place, aud / would have beaten him in
every State but Vermont aud Massachusetts,.
AS it is, think will heat him 10 almost
all of them yet. (Cheers.) But should Lin
coin be elected, the secessionists who nomi-
mated and now support Breckenridge, will
he entitled TO the credit of it, aud upon
them wiLrest the responsibility of having
adopted the fatal policy. and dreading the
result of their own rash aud unpatriOtc
acts which gives TO Lincoln chance Of sue
cess. they come forward and ask me if l
will help them to dissolve the Union in the
event of Lincoln being raised to the Presi-
Dental chair. l tell them no--uever on
earth. Cheers aud cries Of ''GOOd"O
