Judge David Davis is being
most prominently talked of as
as the proper man for the St.

say that he would draw from
the Republican party a very
large number of old Wings,
who have been forced to affiliate
with the Republicans, and who
would be glad to leave them to
vote for such a man as Davis,
while they will not support an
old Democrat.

Attached to the passenger train
which arrived here yesterday from the
East, VA the SilUer State, were two
emigrant ears chock-full of passen-
gers. These cars were unhitched from
the train and switched off on a side
track to await the departure OF a freight
train which was to take them West.
The emigrants watched the side track
ing with a good deal of anxiety, and,
on the Departure OF the passenger, one
of them rushed frantically TO the ex-
press office, and extending both arms,
in a suppliant manner, exclaimed:
Good heavens Mr.. Railroad Man,
are you going to leave us here ? What
do you intend to do with us? | hope
you are not going to run us into these
snowy mountains and leave us TO
slarve or be m~assacred by the wild In

the excited pilgrim that he was not a
"Mr. Railroad Man." and knew
nothing of their affairs, but that it had
been customary OF late, in consequence
or the heavy emigration to California,
TO run an occasional train out on the
desert and leave the emigrants to the
Indians and coyotes, that being the
most expeditions method of disposing
OF them. "Good gracious, you don'l
a so ~ exclaimed the enigrant,
Mister, I'm Obliged to you,' and
away the fellow scampered to the
cars, from which In less than tive min
ute there was a general stampede.
How they were persuaded to return
and pursue their course westward, late
in the evening, we did not stop to in

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. IL.
In the Assembly yesterday a resolu-
ton was adopted to appoint a commit
tee of five to inquire into the title
and means by which the title was pro-
cured by the Golden City Homestead
Association to certain tide lands in
San Francisco, with the view of having
them restored to the State. The ex-
PLANTATION of the matter is, that the as
ISOLATION obtained its patent of the
lands under false pretenses; that it
bargained for the adjacent high land,
but before it obtained the title it pro-
cured a patent for the tide lands in
consideration of filling them up from
the high land, the association repre-
senting itself as the owner OF the
high land which it WAS not. The as
ISOLATION distributed the land among
the members aud never improved a
foot of the tide lands or moved a
shovelful of earth upon them. The
grant was made upon the ground OF
the proposed Improvement being bene-
fetal to the State aud as likely 10 in
crease its The matter was
Investigated in The Senate i'll 1870 and

General Instructed to secure the AGA
ton of the tide lands and their return

has taken action in the premises. The
value of the lands can not be- stated,
but it is believed to,be between s 3,000,-
600 and So, 200. 900. The wrong was
done under IA Democratic Legislature,
and that is put forward As q reason
why this Democratic Legislature
should seek to rectlfy it. The com
