GREAT EXCITEMENT IN TRUcKEE-The
usually quiet town of Truckee has been
considerably excited of late, over the or
ganizstion Of company to search for
diamonds and gold long since buried
on the coast OF Florida. 1t is said that
the company have cash capital of little
less than $40. 900, and nearly all of the
solid men of the town are said to have
taken stock. 1t seems that colored
man by the name OF JEFF Hogan who has
been administering chicken, eggs, trout,
Russian snipe, ETC., to hungry travellers
over the c. p. Il. II. and one Joe Mason,
have discovered of late that they were
both on board q certain pirate vessel
about thirty years ago, and were eye wit
nesses to the burying of vast amount
of gold and diamond jewelry. JEFF says
that his life was spared on account of
his being cook, and Mason's on account
of his youth-being then but about ten
years old. When first told, the story was
not believed, but after a while persons
were found of sufficient gulibility to ac-
cept the whole story and enlist in the
enterprise.

The Justices Of the Supreme Court Of
the United States after ten years of ser
vice may retire at the age of 70 on pen
sion of full pay. Three score and ten
have been accepted by the humanity of
the law as closing a career of active USE
fulness on the bench by exemption from
labor, and generous provision for the
judges who may survive to enjoy it.
There is but one member of the present
bench who has reached that limit. That
is Justice Clifford, who completed his
SEVENTEEN year on the 18th Of August,
1878. Justice Clifford was appointed one
of the Associate Justices by President
Buchanan in 1858. He has, therefore
more than completed his term of ten
years. and can retire on full pay when
ever he chooses to do so.

THE STORMY DAYS OF 1856.

Californians Of twenty years standing
we'll remember the Summer Of 1856, when
the Vigilance Committee was an effective
organization, setting the laws and the
constituted authorities at defiance. Gen.
Sherman's letter to Judge Field, pub
lished in the Overland Monthly for Feb
ruary, is an interesting narrative Of the
exciting scenes which gave rise to the
Vigilance Committee, as well as many of
the acts of that body and of the authori-
ties in their futile efforts to suppress it.
Sherman was the resident partner of the
banking house of Lucas, Turner Il Co.,
and was appointed Major-General of the
State militia, and was on intimate terms
with General Wool, commander of the
Department of the Pacific; Commodore
Farragut, of the United States Navy; j.
Nicely johnson, Governor Of California
Judge Terry, of the Supreme Court
Mayor Van Ness, of San Francisco, and
David Scannell, Sheriff. General Sher-
man was very positive law and order
man, an his letter to Judge Field, dated
st. Louis, Mo-, February %, lS6S-near-
ly twelve years after the occurrences re-
lated by him-shows that his mind has
undergone no change. The letter is
quite voluminous, altogether too much
so for our columns, and goes into sue
cinct detail. A pernsal of General
Sherman's letter may be adyerted to
as showing the wondrous changes
of time since the Summer of 1856. Sher-
man, then Major General of militia,
has since risen to the highest rank in the
army-a hero of worldwide renown
Judge Field, then Justice Of the Califor-
MIA Supreme Court, is now on the United
States Supreme Bench; j. Medley John
son, who was afterwards Justice Of the
Nevada Supreme Court, is now numbered
among the dead; Van Ness, afterwards
State Senator, is also dead; David Scan
nell "still lives" and hourishes in San
Francisco; both General Wool and Com
modore (since Admiral Farragut have
passed away; Z. D. Baker, afterwards
Senator from Oregon, fell at Balls Bluff
Terry is practising law at Stockton. How
many of the rank and file who moved
upon the stage of action then are now
living, we have no means of ascertaining,
but the deaths among the distinguished
men OF that period show that in less
than eighteen years large number mus
have been called from time to eternity

As experience shows, danger Is
less in q crowded town than q vii

naturally, the more elevated struc-
lures are the most liable to he

TALLY destroyed by lightning, and
his citations, taken in comparison
with the records of our own. times,
are certainly remarkable. In all
cases it is the spire, the tower, or the
dome which has been mutilated.
As to ordinary ~habitations, all sorts
of theories are in vogue on the subject
of danger and safety. Some rely on
thick glass in windows, and some
on register stoves; others recon-
mend stone roofs instead of slate,
and Others tell timid people that
they should live in a hollow. 1t
Is contended on this side that there
should be the least possible admix-
ture of metal in the combination of
an inhabitable structure, and on
that, that all the bells beneath the
roof should be kept continually ring
ing, just as, In obedience to an old
superstition, cannon are fl: ed at sea.
The mass of evidence upon this
however, points to the one
conclusion already suggested, that a

ACCORDING to the New York
Herald the Boston merchants and
people generally have of late been
. good deal exercised about the
trade of the West. Several public
meetings have been held recently,
1t which the Mayor and other
prominent citizens participated.
The Boston papers are also said to
be hammering enthusiasm into the
mercantile nabobs OF the Hub, for
the purpos. of improving trade with
the West, which they hope to ac-
oompiish by new railway combin-
atoms and liberal inducements to
western dealers.

If THE statistical reports of the
Postolncs Department may be re-
lied upon, the abolition ofthe frank
ing privilege has proved a very
economical measure. According to
these reports the resources Of the
Department bave increased over
three millions during the fiscal year
ending July LIST.
Although this increase Of the rev.
enus may, in . measure, be due to
the extension Of the money order
system, the introduction of postal
oards, and other reforms, there i no
doubt that over one million has been
saved by the discontinuance of the
dead-head mailing system.
