INDIAN MATTERs.-If We feel the necessity
of eondemning some of the acts of our Repre-
sentative in Congress, we feel pleasure in
finding some that we can approve. The Wash
ington correspondent of the Bulletin, in his
letter of May 10th, says:
Gen. BIDwELL has introduced 10 the House
bill for the purchase of the whole of Round
Valley, in Mendocino County, and the adj join
ing mountainous land for distance of five
miles on every side, to be used as a permanent
reservation for all the Indians of the State.
The purpose of extending the reservation into
the mountain country is that of securing to the
indians the exclusive use of the creeks, which
nearly surround the valley, for fishing purposes;
and also to keep off bad men, and deprive them
OF all convenient sites TO set up shops in which
10 sIrreptitiously sell liquor to the Indians.
The bill appropriates 100000 for the pur-
chase of private property lying within the lin
lis of the proposed reservation.

MINING IN PLUMAs CoUNrY.-The Quincy
Union gives favorable accounts of the opera
tions of miners on Hopkins and Pootman 5
creek, at Nelson Point aud vicinity, and else,
where throughout the county. Plumas is one
OF the finest mineral counties in the State, and
the improvements now being made, aud those
that are yet to be inaugurated, will place her
in the front rank of first class counties in the
State. Sharpers and Swindlers will not al
ways be able 10 control legislation for the pur-
pose of building up localities. where only fish
can live in the winter, and horned toads and
lizards in the summer.

GELsToN's FoRGERIEs AND EsCAPE-The
operations of this individual at the Capital of
California, and his easy escape from the author
tiles go to show the rapid progress of the work
of corruption inaugarated at Sacramento by
the swiudng operations of the Central Pacific
Rsiroad Company, and the Capitol builders
of that abcminable mudhole. After swindling
the State to an extent of which the people are
not aware, and probably never will be, be was
permitted to make an easy escape from the
water works OF that sink of corruption and den
of scoundrels, and make his way by easy jour-
neys over the Dutch Flat road to Nevada.
He was recently arrested at Austin, in that
State, by the authorities OF that city, who in
formed the authorities of Sacramento of his
arrest, aud requested to know what they should
do. The authorities failed to provide the ex-
penses OF his removal to Sacramento, ard after
various nousensical kilograms, the Austin au-
thorities arrived at the conclusion that the
State authorities at Sacramento did not wish
to expose themselves by the conviction of GELS
TON, and turned him loose. The Marysyille
Appeal admits that it is evident that GELS
TON was not wanted at Sacramento" The
Reese River (Austinl Rereille has the follow
ing on the subject:
The Union is mistaken in stating that "to
make assurance doubly sure ex Sheriff Nc

said, "wil send requsition by messenger"
Whether the messenger was coming by fast or
slow freight we are not informed but from the
delays and quibbling experienced since the ar
rest of GEIsToS, our officers were satisfied that
it was useless TO detan him even if they had
the power. After being arrested twice with
out warrant aud held in custody two or three
days, while the authorities at Sacramento we're
dodgng about to avoid doing anything, and no
warrant or requisiton obtana BILE, be was De.

LATEST FROM THE OREGON ELEcTIoN.-The
result Of this election remains in doubt The
Orsgonian figures up Union majority of 526,
with two Democratic counties to hear from.
The Portland correspondent of the Bulletin,
June 9th, says
If the Democratic vote Increases in the east
ern counties as it has iu Umatills, the proba-
bility is that the Democratic State ticket is
elected. KELLY. the Democratic candidate for
Governor is ahead of bis ticket, and may be
elected in any event.
The Herald Of June Sth, says:
The returns OF the election so far as received,
show q Radical majority OF about 600-the
majority against X Jelly will be short of That
We have yet to hear from five Democratic
precincts in Umatilla, the counties of Baker,
Grant and Union, all Democratic bevond ques
ton, and Coos and Curry, which viii not give
over 50 against Us. Gentlemen Just 10 from
Umatilla confidently count on 700 10 500 ma
iority from the Democratic precincts and coun-
Ties to hear from.
