The Judieiar, 10 E.mernIda.

The Aurora correspondent of the S. f.
Flag gives graphic account of judicial
affairs in that district. He says:
"The present Judiciary system is in de-
cidedly bilious state. Judge Turner opened
court here on the 9TH of July, and after a
session Of seven days, in four months, during
which portion of the criminal calendar was
disposed OF, and the civil cases of minor i'm
portance tried, he adjourned the court. Be-
fore doing SO, however, he issued a restrain
ing order on the Young America Company,
not TO cart any rock from their mine until a
hearing could be had why an injunction
should not issue, as applied for by the Ante
lope Company. And instead of hearing the
case himself and deciding it in two or three
days at the farthest, he appointed his Clerk
without consulting the parties interest
ed) as referee, to hear the testimony and
to submit it to him for examination and
decision; and now the farce after the skele-
ton court is being effectually carried out.
The hearing commenced on the 18th ult, and
after session Of two weeks seven witnesses
have been examined, and the Antelope Com
pany say they have one hundred witnesses,
evidently and ostensibly for delay, in order
to freeze or starye out the Young America
Company. The latter company have their
witnesses and case TO make out, and who can
tell in the dim future when the examination
will closes After which, when the Judge, if
his life should be spared to that age, may
render his decision. The Antelope have it
all their own way. They are working the
mine with full force, taking out the rich
rock and having it crushed, thereby getting
the money for all their purposes, while the
Young America Company are, as the Pond
Company were with the Del Monte, totally
deprived, by the caprice Of the Court, from
deriving any benefit from their mine, and
to protect and defend their rights What
makes the case more aggravated is the fact
that the order was issued before there was
any connection between the two companies
drifts or mines, whatever, either above or be-
low ground and the fact of the Young Amer
lea company having first struck and discov-
cred the mine, had peaceable possession, was
working it, taking out rock that paid over
500 to the tun, the bullion from which was
worth four to FIVE dollars per ounce while
the bullion from the Antelope rock is worth
two dollars and under-a conclusive fact of
there not being one and the same ledge. The
case now on trial has no bearing as to the IT,
tie OF the mine, which is for future suit.
The people have generally come to the con-
clusion to vote for the Constitution which is
to be submitted in September, as no relief is
looked for until they can have Judge Of
their own selection and resident of this
county. The first mining case is yet to be
tried in Esmeralda county, and there is no
probability of one being brought to trial I'M
I'll we have Judge Of more frmness and re-
liability.

THE CONVENTION.

The Union County Convention meets
tomorrow, and although the number of
candidates who have announced them
selves "subject to the decision of the Con-
vention is large, yet they are but fac
tion Of the crowd who are apparently
entered for general scrub race. They
are of all grades, coed, bad and indifferent,
and citizens who are pledged to the sup
port of regular nominees viii have an
extensive assortment out of which to make
a selection. The offices to be filled ere
those in the proper and honest administra-
ton of which the most important interests
of the people are involved, and the pros
perity of the country depends upon the
choice which is made. 1t behoovsS every
citizen to spare no exertion in securing
the election of those whose past record
gives reasonable assurance of faithful
and honest discharge of official trust. 1t
is no time to allow considerations of per-
sonal friendship TO influence ones vote.
The "jOny good fellow" qualification
has been tried too long and too often. 1t
is emphatically played out. Honesty and
capability are the indispensable requisi-
tons, and the every pleasant gentlemen
who lack the unmistakeable evidence
o: possessing these qualifications, must,
under the present rough condition of our
public affairs, be politely requested to take
a back seat. GOOD fellowship is an
amiable qualification, and socially COM
mendable, but cannot and must not be
supported out of an impoverished public
treasury

SACRAMENTO DISPATCH.
Destructive Fire-Twenfy-flve Horses
Burned = New Disease = Steamer
Washoe Reported Bought on =
Eastern Line Still Down.


SACRAMENTO, August Sat 8 o'clock
last evening, the building known as Mil
ler's Stable, corner Fourth and streets,
and two adjoining buildings, were totally
destroyed by fire. The stable contained
upwards of fifty horses at the time of the
fire, only twenty-five of which We're saved.
Among those lost was the well-known
pacing stallion st. Clair, owned by ]. E.
Miller. An immense quantity of hay and
a number of carriages, omnibusses, bug
gies and hearses, and other property was
destroyed.
The stables of Moorehead & Malone
were in great danger for some time, but
were saved.
No estimate of the loss as yet. The fire
originated in the lower story, and is be-
Ieved to be the work of incendiaries.
A singular and fatal disease has mani
tested itself among horses in this city with
the past few days. Animals in good
health die usually inside of "a hours.
Almost every yard in the city has lost
from five to ten horses. The Veterinary
faculty have not yet decided as to the ma
ture of the disease.
1t is rumored here and believed, that the
steamer Washoe has been bought by the
California Steam Navigation Company.
She has hauled off and is laying at the
dock in San Francisco, but.nothing def
mite is yet known.

EASILY TIcKLED.-T The editor of the
Washoe Herald is blessed-or afflicted, we
hardly know which with chronic
giggle, which makes him appear about
stand-off between boy at a circus and a
woman with the Mysteries. He is vastly
''amused" with the grave and terrible
charges of corruption that have been made
in this and other papers of the county
against the Judges of the Supreme Court.
The signatures of thousands of citizens
(who IRE not amused) calling ON those
Judges to resign, viii undoubtedly throw
him into commissions. Should an indig-
nant multitude ride those Judges out of
the Territory on rail, the Herald man
would split his sides; and should they
be hung by mob, he would die in an
uproarious burst of laughter. We doubt
whether the Judges have yet discovered
the fun of the thing.

IMPORTANT TO CATHoLlcs IN THE ARMY
AND NAyY.-It is stated by our cores
pendent in New York, that the Right
Rev. Bishop Timon, of Buffalo, has just
received description from Rome, dated
April 10th. 1854, by which concession
to soldiers and sailors, obtained from the
Sovereign Pontif in the Holy Week of
1850. and augmented subsequently in
Rome, is now continued for ten years.
By It ell soldiers and sailors, and their
families, in the service of the United
States, are dispensed from abstinence all
days Of the year except six, namely /: the
eve of Christmas, Ash Wednesday, the
three last days of Lent, and the eve of
Assumption. 1t is presumed that no pro-
vision was made for the soldiers n the
Southern Confederacy, as, 'sby all ac-
counts" they do not get meat enough in
a year to peril their souls for single hour.

.Exc1rEnFNr .AP DAYTON.


There has been considerable excitement
for several days down at the Town of
Dayton. Our readers viii remember that
on last Friday evening. cold-blooded
murder took place in Dayton, the particu-
lars of which are as follows, as we find in
the Seatiael:
e A few minutes past six o'clock ON FRIDAY
evening. an ARRAY occurred In mont OF poyis
Theatre, between the proprietor, John Doyie,
and a gambler named James Linn, ana wniSu
resulted in the almost instant death OF .he
former. From the information now before
US il would appear that there hau oeen SONY Sls
sI;vht trouble between the parties, snort
fine previous, and that Linn, or companion,
Mad inst previous to the killing, committed
nuisance about DIS premises, which IN
eensed him, and that during the discussion,
linn, without any Just proyocation, drew a
heavy dirk or bowie knife, and stabbed Doyle
in the LEFT side, inaicting horrible wound,
and producing instant death. Immediately
after the commission Of the deed, Linn fed
into the saloon, through the back way, and
thence started for the hills, in the direction Of
the Daney Mill The officers were soon upon
his track, headed BY Constable Shaw. He
was arrested, brought back TO town, and
placed in Jail to await his examination"
Since Linn was put in jail, there have
been various rumors about forming Vi
GLANCE Committee, but the officers of the
law have been active, employing extra
guards about the jail, etc. Yesterday and
last night, Dayton was in continual
state of excitement, the town being crowd
ed. Last night, especially, there were a
great many strange faces there-not the
least among whom were a great many
"sports," WIN seemed to be there either
to aid the officers, crro rescue the prison.
er from mob-law, if any should be at
tempted upon him. To-day, Dayton is
yet quite full of people, partly owing to
the Nominating Convention being in ses-
sion, but some persons think that it is for
the purpose of taking summary vengeance
upon the prisoner. Linn was to have
his examination to-day before Justice of
the Peace-Lawyer Harrison being his
counsel. 1t is said that Linn had killed
another man, named West, at La Porte,
California. We shall know by to-mor-
row what all this excitement will amount

Ar the Mint in London, by recent inven-
ton, the weight Of the planchets, out of
which soyereigns are coined, is now deter
mined BY weighing machine moved BY ex-
ternal power. These planehets or pieces are
passed one BY one through spout into a
scale; il exactly the weight required by the
law, they go off in one direction; if too light,
in another direction; if too heavy, in an
other. No hand touches the machine while
at work, and it never makes a mistake. The
old fashion Of weighing and sizing, with the
necessity Of employing skillful workmen to
perform the operation, is now done away
with.

REBEL STORY. - The Richmond Dis
patch grayely announced that, on Gen.
Grant hearing that the Baltimore Con-
vention had nominated Mr.. Lincoln, he
turned his army away from Richmond
towards Washington and rereated. That
he at once took to hard drinking, and had
to be hauled along in an ambulance. The
very next gale that blew from the South
ward after this was announced, carried
the clash Of resounding arms to their ears,
and intelligence that the hero of Vicks-
burg was advancing from the south side
of the James river with his army masses.

'290."-The highest point that gold has
yet reached since the commencement Of the
war was the rate it sold at Tuesday in New
which was "two hundred and ninety" There
is mysterious coincidence between the
number by which the pirate Alabama was
called when she started out on her career of
pillage and devastation and the figure which
the gold gamblers attained Tuesday. The
number 200 over the stern Of the Alabama
was intended as compliment to the two
hundred and ninety British merchants who
subscribed the purchase money for that
ship, in the very face Of the neutrality
proclamation Of the Queen and the CONNER
cial relations between England and the Uni
ted States. Is it not possible that the gold
spectators Of New York established 290 as
the standard, in compliment to their fellow
rebels across the Atlantic /? Now that the
ocean seourge "290" is at the bottom Of the
ocean, gold may be expected to reecde, and
in proof of this, it was Wednesday morning
quoted 275, toeak. Let US hope that we have
heard the last of $780," either as the name
Of a rebel ship, or as the ruling figure for
