THE SANTA CLARA LAND TROUBLES The
San Jose Mercury says;
Our sympathies have always been with the
settlers-with the men who have come here
to improve the country and to earn their liv
ing by honest toll, instead of speculating on
the misfortunes of others-but we could not
uphold forcible resistance to holders of legal
grants and being told that the terms of set
tlement were very easy for the settler espec-
ally on the Chavolla ranch, we have thought
il best for the settlers TO purchase the Cha
VOLTA title, and end the matter. But it now
appears that such a purchase would not end
the trouble; on the contrary, it would only
be an encouragement for other claimants to
make similar demands in hopes of obtaining a
similar result. 1t is represented to us, that
instead of securing a good title by purchasing
from those who obtained the late order of
eiectment, the settlers, by such purchase,
would be in a worse condition than now, be-
cause there are no less than four other land
claims that are made to the same land. This
being the case, we have inquired of the set
tiers why would it not be better for them to
vacate their claims and go elsewhere. Many
OF them would be willing to do this, but they
are unable to purchase anew, and there are
~ tips vicinity very few desirable locations
on Government land unappropriated. Many
OF them have fumliea dependent upon them
for support. Having expended all their
available means in the purchase the Pue-
bio title and in the defense of their claims in
the Courts, they are now destitute of everv-
thing except the land they supposed they had
purchased, and the improv ements they had
made upon it.

HOMICIDE AT GRIZZLY FoRT.-A most un-
fortunate occurrence took place at Grizzly
Fort, about six miles below Bope's, on the
Emory's crossing road, on Friday of last
week, which resulted in the death of Mr.
turned from Washoe. 1t appears that there
was dispute between MIR Meredith and Mr..
simmons, about the ownership of some furnl-
ture in u house which the former had rented
from Mr. Simmons, and from which he had
that day removed Returning in company
with two employees with wagon to take
away the furniture, he was refused admission
in;o the house, and on attempting to force his
vay in he was, as he declares fred upon
from the inside-this is denied by some of
the witnesses and positively affirmed by
others. Mr.. Meredith Immediately rushed in
and fired two shots, both of which took effect
on Gorman-nne striking him in the forehead
and gancing off from the skull, the other
penetrating the lungs. German fingered sew
eral hours and died on Friday night. 1t ap-
pears that German and one Atwood had un-
dertaken TO keep the Meredith party out
while Simmons was gathering the furniture
into one room. lie did not know whom he
had shot until German, who, we learn, was a
friend of his spoke to him. Meredith and
the two employees-his brother and Daniel
Spangler-were arrested by Under Sheriff
Brown, and brought to town on Saturday.
The two latter are charged with having also
fired into the house, and have been indicted
jointly with John Meredith. They have been
admitted to bail in the sum of $4,000 each.

INSANITY RIrE.-Eyery day last week says
the Bulletin, somebody has been examined
at the City Hall as touching his sanity. The
one up to-day has "A monomania for dressing

SALISBURY said to me, 'if you will emancipa,e

Here. then are the view we have so often ex
pressed fully confirmed by this witness. The
aristccraey and abolitionists OF England are in
league with the abo itionlSts OF America to
break up the Union. and hence the anti-slavery
presses and pulpits Of the North are giving ut
terance to the most reasonable sentiments
against the Union and the Constitution, and are
denouncing the Chief Magistrate for his patri-
otic and conservative action in modifying the
proclamation Of Fremont. The public safety
demands that astop be speedily put to their
mutiny and treason. Was the President base
enough to lend himselfto their foul purposes he
would justify all that the secessionists ever ale
ged against the majority Of the North and would
sanctiiy the Southern rebellion in the eyes Of
all honest men. But the good filth of the Pres.
ident has shown has set at rest all doubts as to
the nature and objects of the war, has given
the lie to the assertions Of the rebel cAienians
and has dashed to earth the vile hopes OF the
anti slavery propagandIsts.
