A DARK AFFAIR-It will be recollected
that q few months since Trinity county
correspondent of the San Francisco Examiner
made grave charges against the State Con-
troller in regard to the disposal of Foreign
Miners licenses, alleging tina. the State
officer and the County Collectors sold the
licenses and divided the profits. The Con-
troller Indignantly denied the charge, and
the Legislature now in session appointed
Committee to investigate the matter. Now
for the latest financial sensation. Not long
since, as we are informed. an executive of.
ficer Of one of the interior counties sent
word to the capital that person who sign
ed his name Cornelius Brown, had written
to him and offered to furnish blank - For
| eign NJ ners' licenses" at most reasonable
rates" The question naturally arises,
Who Is Cornelius Brown" The answer
is, a colored young man, who for years has
acted as porter, etc, about the Legislature
and the State House. OF course the Com
mittee desired Browns attendance but the
necessary service could not be had. Brown
had done the thing up brown. and under the
plea of visiting his sick family in San Fran
cisco went there thence took passage on the
steamer which left Tuesday last. Brown,
as general sweeper and dispenser of Goals in
the State Offices, kept an eye on settlements.
A Sheriff would come in the Controllers
Office and settle by showing the Treasurer's
receipt for so much money and blank licen-
ses sufficient to effect a balance. These
blanks would be tied in package and laid
aside-for, it turned out, Brown. When
well armed with these documents Brown
would TASK for. leave of absence, and after
putting on . sub" start for the northern
counties. There he played his little game
of selling blank licenses ut reduced rates.
He always made it a point to return flush,
and in response to the inquiries of anxious
friends, would say that he had met with
mighty good luck at gambling. Thus mat
ters financial progressed with Brown He
| lived well and bestowed jewelry on his wife
he basked in official sunny smiles, and he
has gone on his way rejoicing Talet :
| Brown, Yale! You were equally dexterous
in finance with the broom and poker
How strange it would have seemed had you,
with so much coal at your command, allow
ed g freeze OUT to get the better of YOU
Bee.
Mr.. Brown has furnished in his person
some evidence of the aptness of his race, and
of their claims to the standard of equality
with the white man. Who will now say the
colored man has not brains enough to vote !?
Floyd's little job in stealing only beats
Brown in its magnitude in all other re.
spects the latter is the peer of the former.
p. S.-Since the above was put in type we
| learn that Brown has not been in the employ
of the Controller for two years, but left Sac
ramento only some two or three weeks since.
Mr.. Oul.on would have had him arrested on
the first discovery of his guilt, but was ad-
was obtained, for fear he might be discharg-
ed on writ of habeas corpus. There is no
doubt but Mr.. Brown had watchful friends.

ion amplitudes for which, we leurn,
the despOtlc fiat has just gone forth.
Still, when the skirts are narrowed,
they may yet be drawn to an unseemly
height; and here there seems no re-
source for those who love and respect
the precious sex but to counsel them to
good taste and moderation. We should
be utter hypocrites were we to aver that
we desire to do away altogether with
the charming glimpses we have
been accustomed to be RECALLED with;
and the ladies themselves would not
for moment believe it were we to say
SO. We by no means advise them to
yield too much to puritantcal intoler-
ance or to utterly succumb to maiden
reason and the judicious indul-
gence of their adorers be their
guides by all means. Above
everything, let no temptation seduce
them to exhibit, on any occasion soev-
erI dirty stockings or draggled skirts,
for there is pathos in this which ex-
cites the fury of every rightDminded
man. With these restrictive safeguards
and suggestions, we will allow, hereaf-
ter, to any lady whose years and phys
ical development render the process a
decent one, the privilege of raising her
skirts to height not exceeding one
fifth of her entire person from the
ground. This we pronounce reguln-
ton which can give offence to none of
either sex of fairly liberal dispositions,
while 1t obvtates the objection which
always attaches to the sudden and ar
bitrary cutting off of any qualification
10 which the public has been accuS-
TONED. 1t is, therefore, promulgated as
a celestial, imperial and vermillion
edtct; let every crinoline tremble and
obey.

ny Seward, everybody has been talk
ing about her. Her praises seem to be
upon every tongue Many anecdotes
illustrative of her goodness of heart,
her boundless charity, and her unob-
trusive benevolence, are related. and
among them the following, as IL
Illustrative of her dRuntless courage and
admirable presence of mind: Itseems
that when the murderer, Payne, had
forced his way to Mr.. Stewards room,
first knocking down and putting h0rs
1h combat the man-nurse, Robinson,
and one of Mr.. Stewards sons, he threw
himself on the Secretary of State, with
his knife uplifted in the air, and would,
in another moment, have accomplished
his murderous design, but for an en-
tifely unexpected obstacle, namely
the presence of Miss Fanny Sc.
ward. This heroic girl, with glance
of lightning took her line at once,
This was no time;for entreaties, or wo-
manish tears. But it was the time for
her to save her fathers life, or sacrifice
her own; and she did not hesitate an
instant. She flew upon Payne like a
tigress; grasped his right arm firmly,
and twisted 1t behind him; and then, at
the instant, when Payne turned to look
upon her, she glided between him and
Mr.. Seward, wound her arms around
her father, and he was saved! Payne
afterward declared that lie sought to
stab Mr.. Seward while in that position,
butcould not, for every vital part of his
bodyswas projected. To kill the Secre-
tary he would have to kill the young
lady first; but that, he said, he could
not do; he had not the heart for it, he
said, when he looked in her face. So
that 1t seems to be an unquestionable
fact, that the nation owes Mr.. Stewards
valuable life to the devoted heroism of
his daughter.

NIGHT DISPATCHES.

Mexican Affairs-French Troops still Going.
WAsHISGroS, November 2s.-Although no
formal official communication has been made
TO this Government, there Is no doubt that
information has been verbally furnished OF the
Emperor Napoleon's intention to remove the
French troops from Mexico ut the earliest
time practicable, the arrangements TO that
purpose being now In progress. The reason
why the first detachment of one-third OF the
troops were not embarked in November,
according to the Emperor's own pro-
Qramme, Is that the other two-thirds might
have been seriously damaged by the Libe-
rails, who were persistently pressing them.
To obyiate such n result II was deemed
more prudent to remove them all at once
There is now no doubt that this will be done.
Much speculation is afloat as TO the actual
business of General Sherman in accompany
ing Minister Campbell to Mexico, but the
truth Is, he was designated as an adviser TO
that gentleman, both as regards diplomatic
affairs in Mexico and rs to military move
ments on the frontier should any emergency
arise to require q new disposition OF troops.
But since the reception of the Emperors in
tention relative to the removal Of his army II
is not supposed that such a necessity will &C.
cur. The last news received by the Govern
ment respecting Macmillan is that he was at
Orizaya, the French officers refusing to leave
Mexico unless he would formally resign MS
crown.
