CHINAMAN MURDERED.-George w. Floyd, a
wood-chopper, was on Tuesday committed to
the county Jail in default of SO 900 bail, by Or
der of Justice Loyejoy. The circumstances which
led to his arrest and incarceration are as fol-
lows About o'clock on the night of the 18th
man entered China cabin on the road leading
TO Hindleys slaughter-house, and about midway
between it and the East Weaver Saloon. Three
Cinnamon were in the cabin at the time, and
walking up to of them he demanded his mo-
ney. Being refused, he drew pistol and shot
the Chinaman dead, the ball entering his head
just above the right eye. He then left. On Fri
day morning Coroner Hudspeth summoned a jul
ry to investigate the matter, which returned a
verdict that the Chinaman came to his death nj
the hands of white man unknown. Suspicion
was aroused against Floyd, ard upon what SEEM
ed to be sufficient evidence, II warrant was issu-
ed for his arrest On Tuesday morning he was
brought before Justice Lovejoy for examination
The testimony elected went to show that he pur-
chased pistol at Williams il Co.'s on Thursday
afternoon, had it loaded at Craig's gunshop, and
about dark started for his cabin, which is above
DIR. Wares saw-mil. The pistol was introduce
ed in evidence, Mr. Craig swearing that FIVE of
the loads which it contained were those which
he placed in in it, while one of the barrels had
been discharged and reloaded with heavier
charge of powder and different style of ball from
the rest. The bullet was taken from the China
mans head and accorded with the FIVE remain
ing in the pistol. One of the Cinnamon who was
in the cabin at the time was brought into Court
and asked to select the guilty party from the
crowd, which he did. The coat worn by the ac-
cused also accorded with the Cinnamon des-
cription. Floyd is held to await the action of
the Grand Jury

SPEAKING in reference to the late Miners Con-
yention at Sacramento, the Marysville Appeal
says that an effort was made at the organization
to - defeat the appointment of a committee on
Credentials, with the view to making the Con-
yention sort of free-Iove affair" The move
ment was voted down, but Judging from the pub
lished proceedings we are not satisfied that the
effort was entirely defeated. 1t is satisfaction
enough, however, to know that Trinity was rep

SOUTHERN MATTERs-Gcneral Wayne, OF the
Frccdman's Bureau. writes from Alabama that
general Improvement continues to manifest itself
among the liberated blacks, and that the demand
for labor still exceeds the supply. They show
marked preference for living with Northern men,
of whom there are now about five thousand in the
State. Planters who ill-treatcd them last year
find it next to impossible to secure labor now.
and some have been compelled to give up their
farms in consequence. In regard to the recent
dispatch to the Mobile 1drertscr, touching the
withdrawal of Southern troops from Alabama
and Georgia, and that in acting upon the APP
plicaton of Gov Parsons to withdraw them
from the former State, and arm the local militia,
General Grant made the following reply &c For
the present and until there is full security for
the equitable maintaining Of the rights and safe
ty of all classes of citizens in the States lately in
rebellion, would not recommend the withdraw
al of the United States troops from them. The
number of interior garrisons might be reduced,
but movable force sufficient to insure tranquil
ity should be retained, and while such force is
retained in the South, doubt the propriety of
putting arms in the hands of the militia"

down stairs the other day and broke his arm.
In the last severe earthquake at San Francisco
he jumped from a second-story window and dis

paper man, is now doing up the editorial for the

his old position that paper in March. Glad

NINETEEN YEARS AGo.-It was in December,
ls4C-a little nineteen years ago-that Dom
ner's party of sixty Illinois emigrants, en- route
for Oregon, were showed in at Truckee-now
known as Bonner Lake-on the other side of the
Sierras, and only about seven miles from the
summit. VIM. S. Lowden, Esq, of this county,
tells us that himself and party. just across the
plains, visited the spot in company with one of
the survivors, in August, lS49. Richardson, Of
the New York Tribune, in referring TO the scene
of the partys sufferings, says the logs of one of
the cabins and stumps ten or twelve feet high of
trees which were cut at the snOw-surface, are
still to be seem Mr. Lowden tells us that these
stumps were ascertaincd by measurement to be
about thirty feet high, and that himself and party
tarried two days and assisted in properly inter
ing the bones of the dead, which were scattered
in every direction. The survivor, young man,
informed them that his father, mother and Il
little sister were among the victims, and he re-
members that. a most affecting occurred
when the Young man discovered the skull of his
little sister, which could be distinguished from
the rest. and memory carried him back TO the
terrors of that season of suffering and Death
His mother had died only a few hours previous to
the arrival of the relief party from California
Forty-one of the party persisted, and the survi-
vors only sustained life by feeding on the remains
Of their dead companions. !

As an appropos - straw, VIC make the following
extract from the New York correspondence of the

ming to incline against too hasty return to spe
Gle payment People are beginning to think that
it is better to have an easy money market and
high prices that tight money market and no
prospect of lower prices. The experiment OF
Withdrawing the last fifty millions of currency
has turned out unfortunate, and gold instead of
declining has advanced. This has opened the
ewes of many who were camoring for return
to specie payment, particularly as such return
would be more in name than in fact. Congress
has serious problem to solve in the condition
of the National finances, and it is to be hoped
that Hugh Mccullough will be the man for the
crisis The financial lecture of Mr.. Stilwell,
delivered last week, attracts much attention

Opp FELLOWSHIP IN New ORLEANs.-A cores
pendent of the Boston Transcript, writing from
the Crescent City, says that the spacious and ell
egant Odd Fellows Hall, so long occupied by the
LIST e. S. Infantry as Office and quarters, has
been vacated by the military, by order of Gen.
CANDY. and is once more exclusively controlled
nv the Order. 1t seems that the 4th of Feb
ruarv 1862 the Grand Lodge of Louisiana saw
fit to adopt aresolution which read as follows
J,so,d That this Right Worthy Grand Lodge declares
itself independent the Right Worthy Grand Lodge OF the
United States.
This was regarded as q secession though no
unfriendly preambles were appended, showing
WHY they wished to sever their brotherly connec-
t;ons with the Order at the North. In commu-
nication to Maj. Gen. Candy on this subject,
Bro. II. Bier, Grand Secretary, and others, state
that the resolution separating the Grand Lodge
from the Grand Lodge of the United States, was
passed under the great excitement prevailing at
the moment. At the first meeting the expressed
will of large majority was against such step
but at the adjourned meeting. the minority of
the first was in majority, and by small vote the
resolution was adopted. The fundamental prin-
ciples of the Order were however, always main
tanned, granting aiu anu issis'ai1c " an " nv
called, without regard to the resolution, and in
January, 1865, the resolution of withdrawal was
rescinded."
The visiting books of the Lodges, and letters
received. show that stranger brothers have been
alwais cordially received and aided whenever
their wants have been made known. And upon
the proclamation of the Worthy Grand Sire, de-
claring null and void, and of no effect, all acts
that may have been passed by Lodges at variance
with the principles governing the Order, and in
vitng representatives to the Grand Lodge OF the
United States, representatives from the State of
Louisiana were elected and sent to Baltimore in
September last, and were most cordially received

ARrEsIAS WELLS CoXDEMNED.-The San Jose

acres of former laguna lands in the southern por-

gin to complain at this trespass on the part Of
the wells, and it is proposed to divert the wa
tcrs of Coyote creek to the lagunas, which will
furnish an inexhaustable supply for the lands in
question, as well as for the artesan wells. Years
ago the editor of the Farmer predicted that arte-
sian wells would prove runous to some of the
interests of the valley that before many years
the then iiourishing orchard of Mr.. l.. b. La
throp, IAN old Trinitarian, by the way,) would
become tircwood, and that paper now calls atten-
ton to the fact that the prediction has been full
filled. Lathrop used to supply this market with
