WELL TO BE REMEMBERED.-Dr. Arnold
when at Laleham lost all patience with a
dull scholar, when the scholar looked up into
his face and said:
"Why do you speak angrily, sir? indeed l
am doing the best can" Years after the
Doctor used to tell the story to his own emil
dren, and say, 81 never felt so ashamed of
myself in my life. That look and speech |
have never forgotten" Is not this sugges-
i've iact for many parents and teachers, and
Tor masters too, who are oftimes impatient
and unreasonable with youths of this class =?

which came through the Golden Gate about

Several boats put out after the stranger and

The steamtug Columbia, Capt Grifliths,
started after her with bomb harr oon, but
arrived too late to take part in the capture
The whale is about sixty feet in length. 1t
is expected that she will yield from 40 to 60
barrels of oil, worth at least $500 At the

WELLER.-StraIge as 1t may seem, and
unaccountable as it is, nevertheless it is a
fact, that a man who was supposed to be
laid effectually on the political shelf, turns
up a candidate for the United States Senate
John B. Weller Was thought 10 be finally
disposed of two years ago when he came up
a candidate for Governor, and again when
Latham was chosen instead of him for the
Senate. He refuses to be down, but when
ever an office is to be disposed of, up he
comes, and sosieits all there is, and takes
what he can get. He had scarcely retired
to his brick-bought homestead in Alameda,
when His Imbecility at Washington, took
compassion on the cast-aside demagogue
and sent him off to Mexico to consume the
aguardiente of that country and pocket a
salary of twelve thousand five hundred doll
lars and the other loose change lying about
the mission. The whiskey -pickled politi-
cian has scarcely swallowed the first jug of
Mexican lightning when the Legislature of
California meets, and 10, the lucky old dog
comes up, like ghost that refuses to be
laid, and gets twenty-seven votes for the U.
s. Senate-all secessionists! Manifestly
we are never to see the old fellow in entire
obscurity like his intellect till his eoppers
are entirely burnt out, or till the race of
disunionists is extirpated, and another set
of men elected to the Legislature.
What John B. Weller has ever done for
his country, though he has occupied almost
every position, would puzzle the brsius, if
they have any, of his friends. As U. S.
Senator his record bears no comparison to
that of Gwin for efficiency, and why he
should receive the complimentary vote Of
his party in preference to his superior, is
unaccountable. Gwin may be odious, but
his capacity except for evil is greater than
that of Weller. Equally as trustworthy,
not less honest, and a thousand times more
able, Gwin should, in spite of all clamors
receive the complimentary vote of the
party whose real head he is. Weller ought
not to be thought Of when the king is about
and in good condition.

SECESSION MADE EAsY.-The Springfield
Republican says that if the new theory that a
State may go out when she peases shall obtain,
its converse must also be correct, and a State
which has once seeded may also come back
when size pleases or threaten to spill 8 buckets
ful of blood " if denied the privilege. So that
by and by people will say, Well, how many
States are there in to-day?' Is South Caro-
lima in to-dayr' No, but she is coming in to-
morrow to get an appropriation for new rail-
road, and will go out again next week long
enough TO import stock of dry goods from
France free of duty" That would certainly
inaugurate new sensational era, when kl-
leidascopic government shall make as many
changes in year rs France has made in u
decade.

feet thick, easily accessible and of a very supe-
rior quality. The propretors win be ready to

rnv vvv,,v f,ssr-Horace Smiths yenus.

THE VENUE CssE.-Horace Smiths Venue
bill has passed both houses of the Legisla-
ture by two-thirds vote, and become a
law. notwithstanding the veto of the Gov
ernor The Legislature seems to act on the
principle that two wrongs make a right, or
that one may as well die for stealing an old
sheep as lamb. Having sanctioned the
bill once, they were deaf to ali argument
when it came back for recons deration.-
The great complaint of the body of the
people has been against the vast amount of
special legislation of California Legisla-
lures. General laws for the good of the
whole are few and far between, while laws
for special object are scattered through
the statutes thick as toads after a rain.
Special acts are sometimes indispensable,
but they should be limited to real necessi-
ties. The change of venue bill for the ac-
commodation of Horace Smith is not de-
manded for the furtherance of justice. 1t
is libel upon the thousands in San Fran
cisco, to say as the Legislature has done
in effect, by the passage of this bill that,
among that number, an impartial, unpreju-
diced jury cannot be found to give Horace
Smith, or any other murderer, justice.
The Legislature is wise in its own con-
ceit, if it assumes to understand the char
acter of the people of San Francisco better
than the judges who have daily intercourse
With the popnlation..of that city; and arro-
giant beyond its legitimate authority to dare
to interfere with an equal, if not superior,
coordinate branch of the government
Though not coming strictly within the def
milton, it par:akes Of the nature of an ex
post facto law, ,5and is unconstitutional. If
the Legislature can throw a criminal from
one county to another, when he feels cer-
tain by the exertions of friends he can pro-
cure an acquital, no matter what his crime
may be, that Legislature is equally compe-
tent to put an innocent man far away when
a crime was committed, into the hands of
an exasperated population, to suffer death
after mock trial, or by the gallows at the
instigation of mob. There is no limit to
the power, no check to the caprice of a
Legislature if the right to interfere with the
judicial department of the government is
to be recognized. The precedent is bad !;
the act is bad; the whole thing smacks of
favortism and the lobby, and is disgrace
to the State.

PRESIDENT LIxeoLN IN New YoRK.-The
President elect of these United States, on
his way to Washington, was greeted in
New York by an assemblage of persons
reckoned at quarter of million. Mayor
Wood addressed the President and welcom-
ed him to the city which was rs briefly
replied to by Lincoln.
Mayor Wood took occasion to say that
the business of New York was paralyzed
by the disturbances in the South and i'm
plored Mr.. Lincoln to save the country, and
this was the substance of " Fernandy's
harangue.
We have from quite as coed authority
as Fernando Wood that the material inter-
ests of New York are not seriously injured
by secession. 1t is perhaps, true that those
houses doing large business with the
Sonth and relying on Southern patronage
are injured by the difficulties in the South.
But the trade of New York has not materi-
ally decreased. In fact, it has increased in
some respects. The closing of Southern
ports has turned the little commerce of the
South in great degree, through the North,
and New York city being the great COM
mercial centre has reaped and is reaping
the fruits of Southern folly.
