A FLINT WITH FIRE IN Ir.-Wilson Flint
made speech not long ago, at Republican
legislative supper in Sacramento, and stated
that had Mr. Broderick lived, his contempt
for the democratic party had become so
great, on account of its slavery proclivities,
that he intended to join Mr.. Flint, and pass
over with him into the Republican ranks.
John Conness, who assumes to be the living
echo of the dead Senator, assailed Mr. Flint
for this saying, and denounced it as SANDER.
Mr.. Flint writes communication for the
Union, and comes back at the bell-wether of
the Douglas party in this wise:
'tMr. Conness states that he has pity and
compassion for me. i trust that in his ex-
uberance fgood nature as shown in all his
actions pending the contest for Speaker,
which resulted in his candidacy shattering
his party, we may still find him ovefflowing
with the milk of human kindness. Mr.
Conness further said Since Broderick' s
death, it had been the practice of little men
to parade before the public their identity
with him. 1 fully agree with him in this res
respect, and as he is generally admitted to
wear the mantle of Broderickf y, it remains
to be seen in what respect he possesses
qualifications fitting him to bear his immense
burthen. We read in book of fables of an
ass wearing a lions skin. Mr.. Conness
wears the mantle of the dead Senator. In
this, to quote his own words, there is identity
with him. If Mr.. Conness does not wear
Broderlck's mantle he walks by the side of
his cane. Cicero, whose son-in-law was a
very small man, on seeing him pass with an
immense sword at his side, said: Bless me,
who has fastened my son in-law to that
sword ! What should the people of California
say in seeing the little man from Ell Dorado
attempt to stalk in the footsteps of David c.
Broderick? l think | have shown their
identity of caliber. Let US look moment
at their 'dentity of principle. Mr.. Conness,
at the last session of the Legislature, voted
for libel law, which would be regarded an
atrocity upon free principles in as mild a
despotism as that Of Russia. Allknow that
Mr.. Broderick's inspirations Of freedom
would make him abhor such an attempt to
strapgle liberty. 'In pity and compassion,
| avoid all alluson to Mr.. Conness support
of measure at the same session, in which
there were pecunlary Considerations oily
involved"
There's fire in that Flint certain.

Nor DEAD YEr-There is a gentleman
named WatSon-a funny man, with mahog
any cheeks and an extremely red nose-in
the Senate of this State, from Santa Cruz.
He abandoned his Seat last spring before the
close Of the session, ana went to Washoe.
While in that country, it was twice reported
he had been killed-once by fall from
a horse, in fit of intoxication and Sec
ond time by the hostile Indians. But like a
bad penny, he turned up again. His wit is
costing the State a good deal of money
Pity he couldn't obtain employment in the
arena of one Of our travelling circhses. His

DEATH OF SAVAGE BRUTE.-F'or more than
two years past, Spanish steer had been running
wild in the canon of the Middle Yuba, between
Freeman's Bridge and point six eight miles
above. He had become terror to pedestrians,
and nuisance to all stock owners, among whose
cattle he introduced himself, breaking in upon
their quiet habits, leading them off into unknown
haunts, and imparting to them portion of his
own vagabond nature.
Last Friday some white men gave authority to
the Indians to kill this savage beast, promising
them that they might divide his flesh between
them for their labor. They undertook the dan
gerous job, and joined by one or two American
lads, hunted for the steer, and started him out
from one of his favorite hiding places. He ran
down the river road towards Freeman's, and
turning an abrupt rocky point in his fight, came
near encountering an unsuspecting victim. A
miner who was on foot, going up the road, had
only time to throw his body into an inviting crew
ice, and thus escape the infuriated brute, as he
swept madly by. The steer discovered him as it
passed, and wheeling rapidly its accelerated
motion would permit, returned, believing, to the
attack. The terrified miner caught hold of a
projecting rock overhead, and was enabled to
Chamber to place of security just in time to
save his bacon.
This delay of the steer, brought the pursuers
close upon his launches. He saw them coming
and making across the river, took to the hills
His route was in accordance with their wishes
and plans. On the side Of the hill he was inter-
cepted by several marksmen placed there for that
purpose, and shot down.
This event occasioned great deal of thrilling
excitement in the orderly precincts of Freeman's
Bridge, and will be long remembered-by the
Indians, at least-for the sport and the cheap
meat which it afforded them.

STATE REFORM ScHooL.-In his recent an
nual message Gov. Downey recommends the
Legislature to repeal the act for the erection of
State Reform School, and thinks the object
contemplated by its passage can be effected BY
setting aside a portion of the State Prison at
San Quentin for the reception and instruction OF
depraved youth. The Monitor, an excellent
Catholic paper published at San Francisco, diff
fers from His Excellency, and says:
"Some money, it is true, may be saved to the
State by this course, but we believe it would be
fatal to the success of the institution or the re-
form of its inmates, to incorporate it with the
State Prison. The effect would be to reduce the
boys to the class and estimation of State Prison
convicts, the moral consequences of which would
follow them through life. The only chance for
such an establishment being productive of any
good is to have it totally disconnected with, and
free from, the character of penal institution in
any FORM"
We agree entirely with the Monitor. Besides,
repeating the act now, would be to entail a loss
of fifteen or twenty thousand dollars upon the
State.

USPANGLEs says it is his deliberate opinion
that if Old Buck had got up war with Spain, a
short time back, when there was sofne an oppor-
tunity, and seized upon Cuba thrashed the
Central Americans out of their boots for the
Panama massacre; or even conquered the insig-
nifcant Paraguayans when his squadron was
sent against them, there would have been no Sc
cession outcry. Republics are always warlike, ,and
their people excitable. They must either have a
common enemy to fight with, or they will go to
cutting each others throats-as, witness the his
tory of the numerous barricades in Paris. But
Napoleon understood the French temperament.

McCuE's LINE.-The Transcrip. of Saturday
last contains the following
]. S. McCue writes to inform US of the reasons
why his stage line to Marysvie was discontin-
ued. He says it was for tie same reason that
influenced the wife to stop scolding. When she
began, her husband kept out of the way, and so
she 'spegged out" So it was with McCue. He
offered to let people ride for three dollars instead
of six, but the California Stage Company at once
put down their fare to one dollar, which won't
pay tolls, and the people kept away from his
bought off, and would have kept ON giving US all
chance to ride for fair price, if the people had
studied their own interests, and given him any
show. He offers to make a new attempt in the
Spring, if the travelling public will give him a

THE SLAVE TRADE.-It is supposed that the
true cause of the secession movement in the
cotton States is, desire, after they have broken
off from the Union, to open the slave trade. If
such be the fact their revolutionary leaders must
be shallowpated and short-sighted Missionaries
not to see the impossibility of such thing. The
sentiment of the entire civilized world is in op-
position to the inhuman traffic. All the great Pow
ers are bound by treaty to discountenance and
break it up. Their vigilance would be doubly
exercised and their squadrons greatly increased,
when the fact had been ascertained that vessels
carried charter from the new Confederacy to
legalise and justify what the other nations had
pronounced piracy, and punishable with death.
1t is questionable whether their opposition would
stop here. So great is the repugnance of Great
Britain to the traffic, that if INDUCED in contrary
to the enlightened sentiment of the age, she
would seek to suppress it unaided, not only by
blowing the ships out of the seas which carried
slaves, but by carrying the war against those
who owned or licensed them. The cotton States
can never be successful in re-opening the slave
trade

In No HURRY.-Two or three different reso-
lutions offered in the Assembly for the holding
of Joint Convention to choose a United States
Senator, have been tabled. 1t is evident that the
three parties mistrust each other. Neither has
votes sufficient to elect. Each hopes to find a
man better and stronger in talents and personal
influence than has yet offered himself, and is
determined not to hazard trial until the chances
are more fattering for success.
The result will probably be- that the Douglas
party will present some conservative man, who
will pledge himself not to interpose any factious
opposition to Mr.. Lincoln's administration, and
who is besides known to be good Union and
Pacific Railroad man-upon whom sufficient
number of Republicans will unite to elect.
In order to effect this arrangement further time
will be required. The politicians must feel each
others pulses, and set their wires. The aspi-
rants want some assurances, and when all these
necessary details have been arranged, success
full effort will be made choose Senator.
