SACRAMENTO, Jan. 23d.
EDITOR DEMocRAT:-Ih the Express of The

nying his knowledge of, and participation in
what he says, land which Justly icy fraud
upon the people, to.wit the election of
successor to Mr. win the present session in
stead of next winter.
Now, sir, it will readily be believed by oil
who know Gov. Weller, that he was entirely
ignorant of such report. Not because he sis
not in the counsels Of the men who control
the Legislature" but because there is no such
report here. 1t started in Marysvile, verv
near the Court House, and on account of foogv
~eafher' or some other cause, never reached
the Capital until last Tuesday,
The editor says, 1--WE publish elsewhere a
letter from Gov Weller, which puts to rest
the charge which his enemies have been in
dustriously circulating recently, TO the effect
that he and his friends were endeavoring to
bring on the election [of] Dr. Gwin's success
sor at this session of the Legislature-we
were satisfied that this was malicious false.

Now, sir, whether the editor was as ionor.
ant of the origin of this report as Gov. We'll
Ter was, this deponent saith not. But for the
reason that he is bold to say that "he ,cas
satisfied that it was malicious falsehood" il
indicative to my mind that che was in the
the counsels" of men who conceive lust such
reports. The only persons here, who were
ever heard to express an opinion of that kind
were Weller men all the time"-men who

ana when compelled by democratic usages to
relinquish their hold and vote for Milton
Latham, did so under solemn protest DECLARING
at the same time, that mot one in ten of the
'0orking democracy ,cOuld indorse tile choice of
the majority Of this Legislature" But they
handled the subject with great delicacy, and
political tact, according to instruction no
doubt) by speaking of it in an evasive and
doubie-meaning manner, in order to create an
outside rumor, without subjecting themselves
signal failure, they were at last compelled
to inform the Gov. by letter from MdrysviHe.
that such report was in circulation there.
Now, Gov. Weller has friends here, as well
as in Marysville who would have posted"
him if such fraud was on foot-but the Gov.
says he was ignorant Of the fact This, then,
is the conclusion of the whole matter" about
which the Express appears SO much frighten-
ed-the machinery of that fraud did not work !
as well as was anticipated by its inventors.
The question then arises, Were those
charges made by the Governors friends or
enemiesP They were propagated by his
Jrienda to be used by his enemies, is beyond
a doubt the proper answer. And instead of
being fraud upon the people, they were
fraud upon the Governor. God bless the Gov
ernor and have mercy ON such friends, is the
prayer of LoBY.

Another Poor OF IT.-We yesterday emu
merated instances in which solid bottomed
ships had escaped sinking in emergencies
where those Of different construction would
inevitably have gone down. The Brother
Jonathan, last year, in Puget Sound, is an
other proof She had solid bottom. The
ship ran at the rate of twelve miles an hour,
upon rock, lay half out of the water a
whole tide, and tore off twenty feet of plank
ing from the bottom-a strip five feet wide
yet she foated at high water and went along
without trouble. In addition to the instan-
ces, there is that of the North Star, which
went ashore some months since on French
Keys Her bottom being composed of tim
bers Joined together and caulked, solid sur
face was presented to the water, even after
the planking was knocked away. There
cannot be question that had the Eortherner
been similarly constructed she would have
prosecuted her passage with safety.-AtG.

lum at Stockton, there are il. that institution,
no less than forty victims to the superstition
of Spiritualism In commenting on this fact,
the San Francisco Herald remarks as follows
Thus far no good whatever has resulted to
the human race from what is called Spiritu-
aliim; but, on the country, it has worked
ineffable injury to thousands Whatever
prospective benefit its disciples propose to
derive from it is infinitely more than counter.
balanced by the positive and present injury
it has caused, and is causing. Weak minds
are easily unseated by any apparent exer
else of supernatural power for which they
are unable to account; and as such aliena
ton deeply affects society, it is but proper
that the miserable tricksters who live by
means of their criminal impostures should be
made legally responsible for their acts.

AT quarter before o'clock this uorning

spread with such rapidity that the adjoining
building, together with Musical Hall in the

of property is estimated at about $25,OOO.-
There is no doubt whatever that the fire was
the work of an incendiary.
