DEATH OF TIE Hon. GILBERT A. GRANT.-
1t grieves US deeply to be obliged to again re-.
cord the death of another old citizen and good
man. At one o'clock Monday morning, the
soul of the late Hon. Gilbert A. Grant was
required by the Creator A gentleman OF
warm heart and generous impulses; man OF
sterling integrity and honesty, genial and
amiable companion, and good citizen, he
numbered hundreds of warm and steadlast
friends among the more appreciable people OF
California. Mr.. Grant was an early resident
of this State. and has contributed much tow
ard its present prosperity. In 1858, Mr. Grant
was elected to the State Senate from this city,
and served with zeal and ability. Several
days ago he was attacked with erysipelas,
which located itself in his head and terminated
in his death at the time above stated Mr..
Grant was for years one Of the leading men,
bers of the Republican party but was never
an utraist or lliberal in his views He was a
native of New Hampshire, and was of ripe
age when death cut him down, although far
from being an old man. His loss will be most
severely felt by hundreds who delighted in his
genial and agreeable society. Herald

LOWER CALIFORNIA BANDIrs.-A San Dl-
ego correspondent of the, Herald writes as fol-
lows. under date of December 20th
Gov. Esparza has made the Descausa his
headquarters, about eight leagues below San
Diego, with an army of some sixty men, ample
for the protection of the frontier against The

are now scattered in our midst, from Los An
geles down, stealing, pilfering, numbering

Mendoza. the big ladrone," has taken his
departure for other parts likewise, his great
counselor Metias Moreno, who has been set
ting in San Diego year or two, and finally
hatched out his band Of marauders tor liberia
ting Lower California, and making home for
refugee horse thieves. Learning OF the pro-
posed visit of Esparza TO San Diego. he was
taken with sudden leaving, and is now re-
ported as somewhere in San Francisco. lie
will hardly ever visit San Diego again, or at
least as long as Esparza is within thousands
of miles. This same Metals Moreno is some
what noted as witness in land cases, and
whose testimony Judge Hoffman thought
proper not to admit Juan Ramirez and Juan
Oslo, the other principals, are dodsing about
this country like owls. There is evidently a
desire on the part of many of these thieves TO
re-organize under new chief, and try their
fortunes again. 1t is even apprehended that
parties of some wealth in Los Angeles county
give them encouragement, If not aid.

consideration of the Legislature. lie rendered
efficient service TO the party in this county
during the last canvass, and if chosen 10 the
position, will be found faithful, intelligent
and reliable public servant. The choice of
Mr.. Myers would be but an act of justice to
the county, as the representation to which the
county has been entitled under the apporton
ment Of 1850, has been numerically small We

Messrs. Harris & Tilden, of Butte, and Gen.
