MIR. MCGUIRE AND THE HosPITAL.-The
Transcript, Democrat, and DR.. r. NJ. Hunt, ply
sician of the Hospital, backed with certificate
signed by Niles Searls, j. B. Moore, HI. H.
Wickes, NJ. D., w. G. Roberts, C. M. Bates, NJ.
D., A. B. Gregory, w. C. Groves, H. E. Wall
and James Allen, separately and collectively re-
spond to Mr.. McGuire's card of last week, touch
ing Hospital affairs, and deny his statement in
toto. We were no further interested in the affair
than this: If there were abuses, it was proper
the public should be informed of them. Mr..
McGuire-whom we still indorse as gentle
man, ON general pfinciples-may have been mis-
taken, or over jealous, or something of that kind.
We shall not pretend to judge. 1t remains only
for us to say, that we have no right nor inclna-
ton to go behind the array of respectable author
ity produced by DIR. Hunt, in order to protract
the controversy, nor shall we do so. We leave
the matter entirely between him and Mr..
Mcclure.
N. B.-Since the above was put in type, we
have received card from Mr. N. B. Isaman, on
this subject of Hospital abuses, which will be
found in to-day's paper.

SLUIcE RoBBER SHOT AT.-About three
o'clock last Monday morning, the night watch
man in the claims of Sutton l. Co., on Wet
Hill, discovered spicious-looking indi-
vidual in the sluices, who was evidently there
for the purpose of robbing the boxes. The
watchman waited until the robber got
within ten or twelve feet of him, when he
commenced firing at him with a revolver.
Six shots were discharged, but the robber
escaped, and there were no appearances of
his having been wounded The claims are

JUSTICES COURT.
r. H. FARaUHAR, ].

r. H. FARaUHAR, ]. P.
The People VS.. Jas. Cosgrove. Charge, per-
jury-in having made under oath false list of
his property to the Assessor.
1t appeared from the evidence, that the de-
fendant listed, under oath, to the Assessor,
81 900 as a true and correct amount of all real
and personal property owned by him in this
State. Itwas proved by the oaths of S. S. Lewis,
Otis Hiscox, Jno. w. Guthrie, N. F. Brown,
Stanley johnson, John Bevin and Jno. r. Davis
and others, that at the time of listing his prop
erty, the defendant had money ON hand, and
evidences of Indebtedness due and owing to him,
amounting to over $Sl4 1000. The defendant was
discharged by the Justice, a technical point,
viz: that it required two witnesses to the fact
that he signed the oath-that the record of the
oath was no evidence.
We cannot, having listened to all the evidence,
see exactly how the Justice arrived at his con-
clusions. Capt. Henderson swore positively that
on the 18th day of March, the defendant made
the oath and listed his property, and that he read
the oath and explained it to him before signing.
In addition to Capt. Hendersons evidence, the
record was produced with the signature of de-
fendant set opposite, or on line with figures
"a; and yet the Justice discharged him because
the fact that he signed the oath and listed his
property as charged, was not proven by more
than one witness. The Justice also decided that
the record was not evidence. If such is the fact,
we can see no necessity of compelling our
Assessors to carry around large, heavy book,
nor the use of requiring men by suits for misde-
meanor to take and subscribe the oath for if the
record is not evidence, the Assessor might be
empowered to administer the oath to each per-
son, as in times past, and thus save themselves
the trouble of keeping record.

ExPLANATIoNs.-In Joint Convention on the
10Th inst, Senator Watt and Capt. N. C. Miller,
of the Assembly, gave their reasons in brief for
voting for Nugent, after that gentleman had been
openly accused of uttering secession sentiments.
Mr.. Watt, when his name was called, said:
sI ask leave to explain my vote. Cries of
leave! The reason that / have been voting
for Mr. Nugent, and the reason that am going
to vote for him now is, that believe-and may
say know-that he is for the Union, and there
is not drop of disunion blood in him zap
plause J and that he is opposed to coercion for
the simple reason that he believes coercion is, in
other words, dsunion-that the first drop of blood
that may ever be spilled upon that question, will
seal forever the utter dissolution of the Union.
[Applause.] 1 vote for him also because he is
pledged not only to me in private, but has pledg-
ed himself in public, that he would all endea-
vors, by persuasion, by reconciliation, and by
compromise, if necessary, to place the Union
upon the same footing as it was six months ago."
lApplause.]
Mr.. Miller said:
According to my tally, Mr.. McDougaIlis is sat-
isfactorily elected / acknowledge the fusion as
Republicans, and | wish to say that am oppos-
edtoit. Therefore vote for Mr.. Nugent." Zap
plause.
The reason here assigned by Mr.. Miller for
opposing McDougall, is different from that stated
in his personal explanation" of the Saturday
following, and to be found in to-days paper.
Inasmuch as the last explanation was made on
reflection, and is much the more manly of the
two, let us hope it is the true one.

formation of the gentleman, that the way came
to make the mistake was this: l counted up
thirty votes the first of the ballot for Mr.
McDougall. counted twice so as to be sure
was correct-and then when the Republicans
changed jumped at once to the conclusion that
the whole twenty-four had changed, and that he
had thereby received fifty-eight votes, which was
positive majority; and even when Mr. Covar-
rubias changed from McDougall, then thought
that McDougall still had fifty-seven votes. That
was subsequent to voting for Mr.. Nugent.

THE STORM AND IT'S EFFECTS.

On Friday of last week, this region was visited
by a rain storm which continued with little or no
intermission till Thursday of the present week,
when it cleared off finely, and gave promise of
fair weather. The sun shonfe out for an hour or
two, but disappeared to be succeeded by another
fall of rain, more severe, if possible, than that
preceding, and which has continued to pour
down until the present moment of writing, (Fri-
day afternoon,J with very little prospect of
an Immediate clear off. The aqueous element
descended in torrents, flooding mining claims,
drenching the entire surface of the earth and
swelling the streams far beyond their banks.
The Yubas are literally raging, and the amount
of damage done by the seething and dashing tor
rents must be immense.
1t was reported on Thursday that Freeman S
Bridge had been swept away /; but the facts since
reported state that only one of the abutments
has been damaged. 1t is in imminent danger,
however, and could not bear the pressure of a
much higher stage of the river.
1t is said large number of fumes at the head
of the Middle Yuba Ditch have been carried
away, and that the ditch for several miles in ex-
tent, has been severely damaged, and filled in
with loose earth, sand and timber.
The new reservoir of the NJ. Y. Ditch Com
pany, recently constructed by Mr.. Northrop, sus-
tanned considerable injury. 1t was only saved
from destruction. by the almost superhuman
efforts of numerous workmen employed on it.
Mr.. L. g. Smith, with his accustomed energy,
has gone regularly to work with large number
of hands on this reservoir, and will soon restore
it to its former proportions of strength and
comeliness.
We are also informed that the Eureka Lake
Canal Company's Ditch, and several of their
reservoirs have been badly injured. The various
roads leading into town, having been rendered
almost impossible by the storm, it is impossible
to gather details of all the damage done.
On Shady Creek most of the diggings have
suffered injury by being filled in. Six weeks or
two months labor will be required to place them
again in good producing condition.
On Thursday the Nevada mail came in on
horseback. Same day the Marysvif1e stage ar
rived. These were the only mails received since
Tuesday, and their budget of news and supply of
papers were exceedingly limited.
1t was reported that Woods Bridge had been
swept away; but such proves to be not the fact.
portion of the bridge which spans the North
TUBA at Fosters Bar, was carried off.
Later.
The hydraulic press., 1861-03-30
Later.

Mr.. Freeman informs u.s. that the damage
done to the abutment of his bridge is not seri-
Gus as at first supposed. When the waters SUBJ
side, he can repair it without much cost or
trouble. So violent and continuous has been
shs storm, that there can be little doubt of vast
destruction of property-much more than can at
the present time be guessed at.
