THE Miners Commemorative desire once
more to call attent on to the Miners Convention
,rbich ia TO assemble at Sacramento on the lIth
of the present month. We are anxious to see
IN accredited delegation sent from this county,
but as yet have heard of no movement to that
end. There are plenty of intelligent men en-
gagged in mining who could do much good in the
proposed Convention. The intent OF the Con-
yenton is to call together representatives OF the
mining interest from all the counties, where they
could compare notes, and where each could in
form the other as to the resources, needs, etc,
of his own immediate locality or county This
Convention may lead to judicious legislation in
behalf of the miner, and in regard to the miner
al lands of the State. 1t may attract the atten-
ton of capitalists and lead them to inquire where
good opportunities for investment exist tlsar
easy matter for the miners of each locality to
meet and select delegates to the proposed con
venton, and if necessary to contribute dolla
or two each towards paying the expenses of I

The St. Louis Republican Of the
18th, in an article on cholera, says the
more intelligent and unexcitable por-
ton of our people view the presence OF
cholera IN the city With undue anxiety
or alarm There is, IN fact no occa-
sion for alarm. There is no adequate
reaaon for believing that the disease is
here in epidemic form. It Is local in
its development, and upon inquiry, it
would seem that local causes are suffi-
cient to account for its appearance in
districts, where it has found its vic
tins. Cleanliness, proper ventilation,
prudence and regularity of habit may
be counted on to carry all safely
through Without these sanitary
precautions, other diseases, quite as
much as cholera, are likely TO find we'll
prepared subjects in the dog days of
August. a due observance of the or
binary maxims of health, with Il cheer
full mind and clear conscience, will be
found to be effective antidotes to aliin-
fuences tending to cholera Or other
diseases. We do not believe there IS
any reason in the world for anxiety, or
for departure from the city, or for re
naming away from it. Danish fear,
imagine no evil, be hopeful and cheer
full and oil will be we'll.

w ltN BANKS d Co, ct al
vs.
JohS H. Maehen ct al admr. I
Justice Harris delivered the opinion of the
Court:
The errors complained of in this
record, arise out of the action Of the
Probate Court on the final settlement,
of the defendants in error, as admin
istrators on the estate of H. L. Machen
deceased.
The I'd error assigned is, that the
Court allowed the administrators a
credit of So, 900 90 for losses by fire
and offsets to debts reported as good
The I'd error assigned is that the
Court refused to charge the admins
traitor with interest collected by them
on claims due the decedent at his death
and notes taken by them for the sale
of personally after his death, or on
notes and claims, for which by reason
oftheir negligence and mal-adminis-
tratiOn they are chargeable.
As to the first assignment, the de-
cree of the Court shows an allowance
for losses by fire and offsets to the
debts Supported as good the sum of
$4,000 90.
There is no evidence in the record
on the subject of offsets; nor does it
appear in the remotest way what is
meant by ''offsets to debts reported
good" nor is there any evidence in
the record justifYing the large allow
ance of $4,000 90 for losses by fire
The evidence shows that ''not much
money was burnt, and it may well be
questioned from the testimony, wi eth
er any was burned This allowance,
so far as we can Judge from the re-
cord, was therefore grossly erroneous,
for there can be no pretence that 1t
was founded on the notes, accounts,
or other evidences of debt, which may
have been consumed by the fire
These had all been returned to the
Probate Court, and were easily ascer-
tanned and recovered by the least dill
gence. even if such originals were de-
strOycd.
The second assignment relates to
the refusal Ofthe Court to charge the
administrators with interest on notes
actually collected by them, including
the principal and interest.
On this point the cases of CasOn VS.
Cason 31st, Miss. R. p S. 81, and
Brandon ct al VS. Hoggatt, 32d Miss.
$50, are conclusive so far as the ease
is presented by this record.
And it is equally clear that if by the
negligence or NAL administration of
the administrators, they have failed to
collect the debts due the estate of their
intestate, and have thereby become
chargeable with such debts; they are
also chargeable with all interest due
thereon, and upon such proof the
Court should so decree. For these
errors the decree of the Court below
will be reversed, and the cause remain
ded for further proceeding IN accord
ance with this opinion

twill be seen from the proclamation
of Gov. Humphreys, which appears in
another column, that a special session
of the Legislature has been called to
meet On the 18th of October. In adj
dition to the very general desire that
has been expressed throughout the
State for an extra session to revise the
legislation adopted at the regular SEES
sion, the condition Of the Penitentiary
and the failure for want Of proper
Law, of the liberal appropriation made
for the relief Of the destitute, render
the session necessity.
