4 GRIZZLY YIsToR.-The Red Bluff In.

the house of Thomas Riggs, of Flat Greek
township, Shasta county, one night last
week, and finding the doors open, be march
ed in, smeit of the children's faces, poked
bis nose into the face of q son of Mr.. Riggs
who gave him a slap on the side of the head,
at which his bearship walked out; came
back again, went into the kitchen, helped
himself to piece of meat, and departed.
The next night they watched for Mr.. grz-
zly-he made his appearance, coming with
in ten paoes of the person who had the gun,
the cooking of which frightened him, and
he left instanter. The gun was fired, but
without effect.

A question bas been raised in Sacramen
to as to whether or not McDougall wa'
elected Senator, on Wednesday last. 1t ap
pears that on the last ballot taken McDou
gall had Sc votes, aDd according to the
coun: made up by the Secretaries, all the
other candidates had 55-making Ill votes
in all, of which McDougall had a majority
lie was Immediately declared elected, and
the President of the Senate and Speaker of
the Assembly certified the result to the Gov
ernor. II was subsequently ''discoyered,' -
however, that the secretary had made q
mistake that there we're really ll3 votes
cast, and the President of the Senate has
notified the Governor that be signed the
certificate under a mistake. The whole
matter is now in a complete muddle, and
we have no means of knowing how it will
terminate
If there were but Ill votes cast on the
last ballot, McDougall was legally elected
and is entitled to bis seat but if there were
ll3 votes he was not elected according tc
law, and If that fact should be made to ap
pear we are in hopes be will resign bis Ger
tificate, even if the election goes over until
the next session.
This pretended mistake looks very much
like cOncocted scheme, either to defraud
McDougall Of his certificate, or else to in.
duce the Convention to adjourn sine die, in
order TO defeat the election this year. 1t is
certainly very strange that such mistake
could be made unless it was made design
edly.
The matter was called up in both Houses
of the Legislature on Thursday. The AS
sembly adopted resolution for the appoint.
ment of committee of three to act with a
similar committee of the Senate, to investi.
gate the subject. The resolution was trans.
mtted to the Senate but not acted on. A
motion was made in the Senate, however,
to SO amend the Journal of the Joint Con-
yention as TO declare that the announcement
by the President that McDougall was duly
elected, was not correct. 1t was very just
ly contended that the Senate had no right
to correct the Journal of the Joint Conven-
ton but the question was not disposed of
The certificate OF election which McDou.
gall has already received from the Presi-
dent of the Senate and Speaker would un.
doubtedly be a sufficient credental TO enti.
tie him 10 q seat in the U. S. Senate, In the
absence of a contestant. But should be
take that certificate to Washington and an
other man be elected by the next Legislu-
ture, then the Senate would decide on the
legality Of the election.

The News from tho East.

The intelligence received by the Pony
Express and published in another column,
is important. 1t appears that the policy of
Withdrawing Major Anderson and bis COM
mand from Fort Sumter was under discus.
sion in Lincoln's Cabinet, aud though the
members were divided on the propriety OF
the measure, there is probability that the
Government troops will be ordered to cvac-
uate the fort. If this is not done the only
alternative will be to send them reinforce
ments and supplies, which cannot be done
without leading to a serious collision. If
the troops are Withdrawn they will un-
doubtedly lay a train to blow up the fort
after their departure. The only other point
where there is any danger Of collision is
at Fort Pickhns, in Pensacola harbor. The
garrison at this fort, under command Of
Lieut.. Slemner, cannot be starved out, as
the Government can furnish them with sup
plies whenever it is deemed necessary. But
as The holding Of fort in that harbor can
be of no earthly use to the Government, it
will probably be abandoned in the course
Of year or two, unless the Cotton States
should conclude TO attack it for the purpose
of involving the country in civil war. In
that event the Government would, of course,
hold possession of the fort as long as posi-
BILE.
We have no idea that the Gulf States
will ever return to the Union, and the SOON
er all IDEA Of "reconstruction" Is given up
the better. But there are two forts on the
Southern coast which the Government
should never think Of abandoning under
any circumstances. These are Fort Taylor,
at Key West, and Fort Jefferson, at the
1'ortugas Islands, These Forts command
the commerce of the Gulf. and it is impor-
tant the Government should hold them in
order to enforce the free navigation Of the
Mississippi river. The acts Of the Louisiana
authorities show that they have no inten-
tion lof leaving the Mississippi open the
commerce Of the States above and if they
persist in their present policy, the Govern
ment should Immediately blockade the mouth
Of the river.
North Carolina, 1t appears, has voted
against State Convention; aud from the
number of Union men elected TO the Con.
vention, we judge they are 10 large ma
jority.
The abstract of the majority report of
Tue Committee on Federal Relations 10 the
Virginia Convention is of interest, and in
dicates that the Convention will not adopt
o secession ordinance.

REMEDIES FOR SOUTHERN GRIEVANCES.
The Louisville Journal says: The Secession
lists complain that some of the slaves who es-
cape to the North are not returned. Their rem
edy is to dissolve the Union, so that not a soli-
tary one shall be returned. They complain that
Northern men hold out temptations to our
slaves to run away. Their remedy is to provide
that fifty or a hundred run away where one runs
away now. They complain that the North is
opposed to increasing the number of slave States.
Their remedy is, by multiplying the facilities
for the escape of fugitive slaves everywhere up
on the border, to change several of the present
slave States to free States. They complain that
the Aboltionists contemplate striking blow
strike blow at it themselves, more fatal than
all the blows of Abolitionists could strike at it

THE "GRANB CUsroM." Some months
ago, the West Africa Herald announced
that the new King of Dahomey was making
preparations for the "grand CUSTOM" that
is, to slaughter several thousand human be-
ngs in honor of the late King. Late ac-
counts from Africa state that the slaughter
has been perpetrated. Several persons who
were present, by compulsion, on the occa-
sion, say that the number of persons slain
was not less than two thousand, and one
correspondent gives the number at seven
thousand, The English Government sent
Consul Eootc to Dahomey TO "treat" with
the King for the abolition of human sacri-
fees; but he arrived just in time to be too
late. A correspondent, who is well ac-
quainted with Dahomey, says the best why
to "treat" with The King is TO "squelch''
him, aud let the custom die out.

caded the doors and set fire to the premises.
The occupants of the house consisted at the

Fhe fire soon became intense, and in attempt

was foremost, was shot in the shoulder. At this
jnncture cople Of officers from Fort Buchanan

The Pony Express has just arrived. The

ST. LOUIS, March IL, AN.
The political condition of the country has
not materially changed.
The Cabinet is considering the propriety
of Withdrawing the forces from Fort Sumter
Either this must be done or reinforcemenis
furnished. 1t is said that General Scott ad-
vises the withdrawal of the troops. Repub-
licaus at Washington are divided as to the
true policy. The Cabinet yesterday arrived
at no conclusion. The objection is. that it
is thought by many, if the troops are with
drawn it will be death blow to secession.
Accounts from Washington seem to indi-
cate peace policy.
The Southern Commissioners have made
no movements.
Matters South are quiet.
Gov. Houston has issued proclamation

be refuses to take the oath Of allegiance to

A PRoTEsT.--It appears that the Louisiana
ordinance of secession was not passed unani-
mously. The feeling of the minority is very
clearly expressed in protest submitted by Mr..
Taliaferro, delegate from the parish Catahoula.
We quote passage:
81 oppose the act Of secession, because by
separate secession the State relinquishes all its
rights within the Government, it surrenders its
equal rights to the common territories, to the
vast public domain of the United States, and
the public property of every kind belonging to
the nation. And for this reason | oppose Sc
cession as being emphatically submission.
Because secession may bring anarchy and
war, as it will assuredly bring ruinous exac-
tions upon property in the form of direct taxa
ton, a wthering blight upon the prosperity Of
the State and fatal prostration of all its great
interests.
Because the act of dissolving the ties. which
connect Louisiana with the Federal Union is a
revolutionary act that this Convention is, of it.
