The revolution continues to spread. The

revolntionists, and pronunciamientos prevail
in San Luis, Vera Cruz and Puebla. Presi-
dent Juarez opened the session of Congress
on the lst instant, with remarkable speech
on the situation. He said the country ap-
pears to be iniuring itself in ungrateful
struggles, and that militaryism again opposes
the standard of legality, bringing back the

of Congress to suppress the seditious move-

0RsoN PRATT AND THE Book OF MORMON
Brother Orson Pratt has been strengthening
the faith of the Latter Day Saints with long
discourse, which finds place in the Salt
Lake Herald lie reminds the Saints of the
old legend which accounts for the existence
of the Book of Mormon. The relation of the
affair is, that 10. Smith was spiritually d.
rected to hill in Wayne county, New York,
to dig up plates buried there by disciples of
Christ fifteen or sixteen hundred years ago
that he dug and found plates of gold with
engraved characters thereon, and that by the
aid of urim and thummin. whatever that NAV
mean. he was enabled to translate them, and
the Cook of Mormon is that translation.
Brother Pratt asseverates that the evidence
that the legend is true is found in the de-
claration of four persons who saw the origin
ais and an angel besides. But the plates are
what the ineredulous world wants to see, and
the urim and thummin also; and then we
want to try the effect of one on the other,
and compare notes with Joe, and be sure his
translation is correct.-Sdc. onion.

ATTEMPT To STEAL MIME.-In an. official
decision of the Register and Receiver of the
u. S. Land Office at Sacramento involving
the title to the Keyston Mine, in Amador
connty, it appears that the Deputy Surveyor
returned the land upon which that mine is
situated as agricultural. This is an open
and palpahle fraud, and one of those that
created necessity for the order issued by
the L. s. Land Commissioner on the 7th inst.
declaring all our lands mineral In the de-
csion of the Land Office at Sacramento ap-
pears the following
"ln view of all the facts as they appear in
this somewhat remarkable case, we should
not omit to refer to the proofs offered TO show
fraudulent survey Of the land in question.
rs made by the Surveyor. who actually did
the work in the field. These proofs are not
only the records in this Office, and the testi-
mony of witnesses, but of the sunlight itself,
as shown in the Photographic view of the
work connected with the mines in question.
particularly Of the keystone mines and of
Amador City, showing that the mines must
have been plainly seen by the Surveyor in
running the section lines aud falsely repre-
scented in the field notes, and thereby caus-
ing the Keystone mine to be marked on the
wrong side, and returning perhaps the rich
est half section of mineral land yet discover
ed as agricultural land" and in not show
ing Amador City in any portion of the plat
Of that township, it was designed to defraud
the mining claimants"
Tho Buile:ia says: "The attempt to obtain
possession of one of the richest mines in the
State through fraud which could not have
been perpetrated without the aid of dishon-
est official, would be set down as notable
transaction in any other quarter of the coun-
try, where false and corrupt surveys have not

The Legislature.

Both branches of the Legislature adjourn
Cd on Thursday the Dist inst. for two weeks
until January 4ih 1872. Not receiving pa
per mail since the 18th inst until too late for
this issue we take the following summary OF
the acts Of the Legislature up to the time OF
Adjournment from the Sacramento Union :
The bills and resolutions passed were gener-
ally unimportant. In the Senate the princi-
pal or only bills passed were Assembly biiis,
viz To authorize the Sacramento Street
Railroad TO run cars on Tenth street; 10 au-
thorize the District Attorney of Placer county
to appoint deputy to authorize the Super
yisors of Solano to levy special road tax ;
providing for school tax in Siskiyou; amend
ing the college nc. in relation TO institutions
under the control of benevolent societies; ap-
plying the Alameda road tax in Oakland to
street purposes. and authorizing additional
taxes for county purposes in Mariposa. Also,
Larkin's State printing deficiency bill. A
resolution was passed requesting Congress to
repeal the Folsom and Placeryille Railroad
land grant. All these having been first
passed in the Assembly, several have already
returned from the Governor with his appro-
val. Tho Assembly furthermore passed the
Assembly bills appropriating $l2, 900 to pay
legislative attaches limiting the San Fran
cisco City Attorneys fees repeating the
Montgomery Avenue act; separating Recor-
der from County Clerk in Mendocino legal
izng assessments in Santa Cruz; inccrpor-
atine Chico Gray's bill relative to Munich
pal Criminal Court Munday's Petauma
school bill Spencer's Supreme Court Bailiff
bill Hayes County Judges bill and Mon
terey Judges residence BILL The Assembly
also passed Larkin's (Senate) printing def
cheney bill.
The chief subjects of debate in both houses
have been on the appointment of assistant
clerks and attaches on printing in German
and Spanish ON allowing clerk to the Pub
lie Building Committee to investigate the al
legged frauds at Sacramento, Oakland, San
Francisco and San JOSE
The only important public business trans
acted, after the preliminaries of organization,
was the inauguration of the new Governor by
joint convention and ceremonials, and by
ball and dinner, and the caucusing for and
election of United States Senator.

Proposed RESUMPTION OF SrEcIE PAYMENT.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune, under date Of the 9Th instant,
has tho following
Senator Sumner intends to introduce, to-
morrow, new bill to facilitate return to
specie payments His plan is to issue every
month ten millions of interest bearing legal
tender notes. similar 20 those that were issued
in 1868 and 1864, and to cancel like amount
of greenbacks, the process to go on till all
tho greenbacks have been thus replaced. The
new notes, he proposes shall bear 5 per cent.
interest, and shall be paid in coin at the end
Of three years, or converted into S per cent.
bonds at the option of the Government. By
this means, Mr.. Sumner thinks, resumption
could be reached without shock to business,
or serious disturbance of prices. The new
notes would follow the course of the similar
notes during the war. They would first pass
as currency for two or three months, until a
sufficient amount of interest had accumulated
on them to make it an object for people to
hoard them. They would then disappear
from circulation. The constant retireme nt
of the interest notes would steadily lessen the
volume of currency remaining in circulation,
and bring it nearer and nearer to gold value,
until it would finally reach par. Resump-
ton would then take place, aud oil the boards
of gold and silver in the country would be-
como part of the circulating medium, pre-
venting any injurious contraction resulting
from the completion of the process of with
drawing the greenbacks, which, in about
three years, would all be converted into In
terest notes and bonds. Mr. Summers plan
has the approval of many eminent financiers,
bankers, and business men in New-England.

SOMETHING DECIDEDLY WRONG SOMEWHERE.
From the night of the 18th of this month,
nothing in the shape Of mail matter was re-
ceiyed from Stockton, at the Post Office in So
nora, until the night of the 9th inst, on the
last night letter mail only was received.
Since the establishment of mail service, there
never has occurred so long detention, three
days being the longest period that the people
of this town were obliged to wait for their
letters and papers. 1t was hoped, the near
er the railroads reached us. the better mail
and travelling facilities we should enjoy. We
still hope and believe it will be so, vet the
fact cannot be denied, that since the railroad
reached Milton, if we have gained two hours
on the travel between Sonora and Stockton,
that our mails have been as badly deranged
as when relying altogether on the stage.
Our people may be unreasonable in their ex-
pectations, in looking for mail as regularly
now as years ago. They generally think the
Post Master at Stockton, has treated them
badly, they do think if the stage or the rail-
road fails to carry the mails according to con-
tract, it is that Post Masters duty to see that
some way is taken to forward the mails
and let the contractors suffer for their negli-
gence in not providing some means to fulfil
their promise. Why the Post Master at
Stockton should knowingly deprive this sec
ton of the country for so long a time, when
he had one opportunity that is known here,
We cannot divine. We have had occasion
heretofore to find fault with that official, and
believe that the duties of his position can be
as we'll filled by some one else. If such de-
lays as this are tolerated, we shall cease ex-
pecting mails when railroads wash away
hereafter.
