the power OF magistrates. These commissioners
are to take jurisdiction in all cases where thoy
may have reason to believe justice is not done:
The order concludes as follows s'Trial by the civil
courts will be preferred in all cases whero
there is satisfactory reason to believe that

assumed by tke military commissioner, will be ex-
elusive. An persons, civil officers and Others aro

degree from the faithful discharge Of their duties.
It is Intended to aid the civil authorities and not
to- supersede them, except in cases Of necessity.

RUSSIAN AMERICA-The acquisition of California,
i'm lS47. gave the United States a long shore line of
the utmost importance on this coast. in support OF
the position of Oregon, which was defined by the
treaty with England. Above the line of the British
Provinces lies Russia America. with a population OF
u .7Z3 souls and area of 400. 900 square miles. en-
bracing New Archangel. or Sitka. a place of consid-
cradle trade aud of great fishing importance. The
possession Of that line will give the United States
nearly the whole coast line. and place them in a
very advantageous position in relation to the pres
ent and future Pacific trade. The telegraph in
forms us that the Russian Government. in consider
alton Of the sum of 81. 250,O 900. cedes the whole to
the United States. thus following the example of
Sapin in selling us Florida for 81. 900. 900, of France
IN selling us Louisiana for SIS, 600. coo. and of
Mexico, In giving us, for SIS. 600. 900. a quit claim
10 California. after we had conquered il. On the
present occasion of each of this former acquisitions.
conduced powerfully to the welfare of the Nation.
On the present occasion, however we are told that
the Senate make merry over the p~rooffer as a good
joke. and seem disposed contcmptuouslv to reject
il. That il is not the temper with which the Nation
will regard the offer. 1t is of the highest impor-
tance to the whole country, and to the interests of
this Coast particularly. that the territory should be
consolidated as soon as possible. The Stars and
Stripcs should fly without rival from Behring's
Straits 10 Cape Saint Lucas. If the members of the
Senate are forgetful of what is due to- the National
greatness. the Chamber of Commerce of San Fran
cisco will. we trust. promptly remind ut least the
dlegatcs from this Coast, by telegraph, that the
interests here as well as the general
welfare of the Nation. require the immediate con-
of the Treaty. and that before any foreign
intrigues are set on foot TO defeat it-iHI.
