The committee appointed at the railroad meeting in San Francisco have decided that astage route across the Plains is the most practicable means of securing the speedy compietion of the railroad, and that the State Legislature will probably be called upon this winter to make an appropriation for that purpose. Miss Sarah Pellet has declared her intention to bring five thousand respectable New England girls to Califor- nia. ‘he City Marshal of Oakland, John Hogan, had ab- seonded with $20,000 of the city funds. ‘The question of locating the State Capital was to be decided immediately.

A tragical affair took place last evening, at the corner | vof Merchant and Kearny streets. The particulars, from | ‘@ well aushenticated source, are as follows:—Henry | n,a member of the police force, had formed an acquaintance with Elizabeth Sullivan, the proprietress of asegar store on Clay street, near the Sazerac House. Kerrison, being under an engagement to be married to @ young woman residing in this city, has been endeavor- ing for some time past to rid himself cf Elizabeth Sulli- van’s acquaintanceship. Prompted, as it is supposed, by i ing her victim hereafter, between Leidesdorff and Montgom , in front of the What Cheer House, occasio: by @ 3 man named, David B. Ackkéy stabbing James MoCabe,, or Judge McCabe, as he is called. was formerly Pro- bate Judge in the State of Michigan, and for several Pen a member of the Senate of that State. The par- as accurately as they could be obtained are as follows:—Ackkey states that he has resided in this State for some time, Jabored hard and saved his to send on to his wife and child to Py their expenses out to this country. His wife and daughter arrived here in the Cortes on her last trip from Panama to San Francisco, Judge McCabe was passenger on the steamer at the time, and, as he states, made improper overtures to his wife, which have been ted since his arrival. At the request of his wife, ey removed from San Francisco to Mi and a few days ago Mrs. Ackkey left her home at Marysville and came to this city. ‘Ackkey followed her, and yesterday sueeeeded in ascertaining that she was boarding at the What eer House. McCabe was also boarding there. Ackkey upbraided his wife with infidelity, which she strenuously denied, stating that her love for her husband was unalterable, and freely confessed that McCabe had endeavored to cause her to swerve from the right path and break the vows plighted to her husband. Ackkey exasperated beyond control, on ascertaining Particulars from his wife, purchased a dirk knife, and on McCabe’s making his appearance on the sidewalk in front of the ‘What Cheer House,”’ ran out and making t him, succeeded in inflicting a severe wound on ht wrist. McCabe fled across the street; at the door of Schleiden’s book store was overtaken by Ackkey, who plunged the knife with such force into his back, be- tween the shoulder blade and back bone, that the force of the blow shivered the handle, The wound, however, is not considered a serious one. It is probable that the ‘weapon came in contact with a bone. Surgical aid was immediately obtained, his wounds dressed, and the man conveyed to the hospital. Ackkey instantly surrendered himself up, calling out to the crowd that he was ready to be hung, but did not want to go to the station house. {t is said that McCabe denies having acted improperly towards Ackkey’s wife, and states that he never saw him before to his knowledge. Ata late hour last evening McCabe suffered 80 much from his wound that he became slightly delirious, Destructive Conflagration in Vallecito—Half the Town In Ashes, Vattxorno, Dee, 22, 1854. A destructive conflagration occurred here last eve- ning, destroying the largest portion of the business part of the town. The entire lower end of the town {sin ashes, with the exception of the store of Mr. Jones, Wiel escaped by pulling down some emailer buildings adjoimng. fire was first discovered about 9 o'clock bursting from the rear of the Polka Saloon, occupied as afandango house, and spread with such rapidity that the adjoining buildings were toon enveloped in flames. A high wind prevailed at the time, and in less than twenty minutes the buildings of the east side were in flames, Tho flames were arrested on the east by pulling down two small buildings adjoining our office, and the constant application of buckets of water; in the west by the Shades Saloon, Had it caught ata late hour, the entire town would have inevitably been consumed. It is impossible to arrive at anything like a correct esti. mate of the loss. Messrs, Dolhogney and John A. Walk- er & Co. were the heaviest losers, having lost their en- tire stock, amounting to $10,000 or $12,000. The fire was probably the work of an incendiary. Dramatic and Musical. from the San Francisco Alta California, Dee. 23.) Signora Barili Thorn had a benefit at the Metropolitan last Saturday evening. The house was crowded. The first act of ‘‘La Sonnambula” and a portion of ‘Er. nani’? were performed. ‘On Monday evening a benefit was given to Mrs. Voor- hees, on which occasion the first act of “Lucrezia’’ and the Jast act of ‘‘Nabuco’’ were performed, ‘The Italian Opera company are soon going to Sacra mento, whese they will give six performances. At the American theatre Mr. and Mrs. Stark have been playing, in conjunction with Mr. Neafie, to good houses. “The ‘Merry Wives of Windsor’”’ has been pro- duced, Mr. Stark Blaying Sir John Falstaff, and Mr. Neafie, Ford, On Thursday evening a benefit was to haye been iven to Mr. Bochsa, on which occasion ‘‘Kobert the Beri? was to bavebeea, produced in English, Owing, however, to the indisposition of Herr Mengis, it was not performed, “Martha” being substituted, Four of Christy’s Minstrels have remained here and joined Bachus’ troupe. Eph Horn is among the num- ber. Asuit for salary was brought against Mr. Christy before his leaving, and he left $6,000 here to abide the issue. A grand benefit is to be given to Mrs, Sinclair this evening. All the company and many other artists have volunteered for the occasion. She will renew her lease of the Metropolitan. Miscellancous, Decree oF CONFIRMATION IN THE PUFBLO Case.—In this case, on hearing the proofs and allegations, it is ad- judged by the Commission that the claim of 'the peti- tioner is valid, and it is therefore decreed that the same be confirmed. ‘The land of which confirmation is made is that known by the name of the Pueblo Lands of San Francisco, and is bounded as follows:—Beginning at the little cove to the east of the Fort, and running across to the beach, so as to leave the Fort and Casamata to the north; theace running along the beach to Point Lobos, on its southern part; thence a straight line to the summit of the Devisa- dero, continuing said le to the east as far as the ‘Punta del Rincon,’’ including the ‘‘Canutales”’ and “El Gentil,” the said line will terminate within the Bay of the Mission of Dolores, the estuary of which will form a natural boundary between the municipal jurisdiction of that Pueblo and the said Mission of Dolores; thenc» along the shore of the Bay of San Francisco, as it existed in the year 1834, to the point of beginning. ‘Tur, Den or Sav Fraxcisco.—A_ petition has been for some time in circulation, and is now signed by all the bankers and leading firms in an Franc.sco, praying the Legislature to pass at the earliest possible moment an act to authorize the funding or discharge of the present floating debt of the city, upon such a basis that the city bonds shall be at par in the Eastern States. The peti- tioners pray, moreover, that such further measures may be taken as will ensure the entire extinguishment of this debt and place the financial affairs of the eity upon an economical cash basis, with effectual precautions the demon of jealousy, she yesterday came up’ to Herrison, who ‘was standing ‘on the corner of Mer- ehant and Kearny streets, and, with no other warning or salutation than merely exclaiming “Harry,’’ she plunged a bowie knife into his breast, just above the region o! the heart; the knife glancing from the rib, between, and entered the left lobe of the lang, ieting a wound about one inch and a half in dept! in the Jung, and from the outside about three inches. ‘The force with which the blow was struck caused her to stumble. Kerrison immediately started off for the Mar- ahal’s office; the woman, having recovered her fee:, eer suing him, he rushed into the office, exclaiming ‘hold @hat woman.”’ (Officer Monks seeing the blood flowing | from his breast, called to him to run down to Captaia ld’s room. The woman again struck at her vic- tim with the knife, and officer North, in attempting to arrest it, received a wound between the thumb and fore- finger. She was arrested and lodged tn the station house, Kerrison was conducted to the room of Capt. McDonaki, ‘and surgical aid instantly obtained; but the nature o the wound almost precludes the possibility of recovery, Kerrison is well known as having been an efficient mem ber of the police, and his conduct has always been such as to command the Teapot of those who were acquaint- ed with him. Elizabeth Sullivan was formerly an ac tress at the People’s theatre, under the assumed name of Howard. Assietant Captain Morton subsequently visited her cell and obtained a letter addressed to Mr. Kerrison, of wh ich the following is a copy:— Haney—For the Inst time, Harry Kerrison, I now writs to you.

Rervortep Revonvtion tN Sonora.—The Californian says:—“Rumors are afloat to the effect that letters were received in our city, containing news of a revolu- tion in the Departments of Sonora and Chihuahua. Whether it be true or not that notices to this effect are here, it is certain that parties in our city have been expecting euch advices, and from the well known feelin, of dissatisfaction pervading throughout the State o' Sonora especially, on account of the arbitrary acts of Santa Anna, we are ated in anticipating a general rising of thé country aginst the present government.

The Sacramento Union had received a letter from Mr, Thomas Knott, of Carson Valley :— Mr, K, says a meeting was held in the valley on the 8d of December, to detérmine whether to akind of independent government, or remain as they are until they could be connected with California, Those present decided unanimonsly to remain for the prosent as they were. He writes as if the Fac considered themselves under the laws of Utah Territory. From his account we judge society to be in rather an unfortunate condi- tion so far as law and the collection of debts are con- cerned. Nr. K, apeaks in high praise of the numerous valleys by which the; surrounded, He also speaks of the new route from Salt fake—says Col, Reese and his company had returned from an ex- ploring trip on ft, and reports it 300 miles nearer, with good grass and water most of the way; ho thinks the route will be fully opened during the coming searon. A company was Leer I to work the Southern road as far as the east end of Watker’s Lake. The hope is strongly expressed that California will be up and doing to have Carson Valley ‘aunoxed to the | State, From Guaymas—Movements of Troops. ¥rom Guaymas we learn that large numbers of troops were expected at Mazatlan, sent by the government to put down any insurrection that might occur, as the election was to take place on the Ist of December; but itis generally believed that the soldiers were for the purpose of deterring the citizens to vote in favor of Santa Anna, Gen.

The most prominen‘ members of that convention are now at the capital, and have taken quarters here until after the Sena- tor question is decided. fhe daily trains are bring: ing together the strongest and most powerfal, most influential of Mr. Seward’s friends.

State Treasurer—American Candidate—Incidents of the Caucus—Case of Dr. Beale of Philadephia—The At- torney Generalship of the State—Bribery . Monday next, the 15th, is the day fixed by law for the election of a State Treasurer, to serve for one year from the firstof May. As many of the members are in the habit of going to their homes on Saturday after adjourn- ment, and returning on Monday before the hour of meet- ing, it was deemed best to settle to-day the person to re- ceive the votes of the members of the American party for that office. Acaucus was accordingly held this after- noon, which did not terminate its session until almost seveno’clock. A number of preliminary questions were raised, which led to considerable debate, and it was not until late in the afternoon that the ballotting was com- menced, One of these preliminary questions was the right of certain members to vote for candidates, who were biassed and friends of the new administration, but not members of the order. These gentlemen had been invited to the meeting, but were invited out, after a dis- cussion of the question. A controlling reason in the case was, that these gentlemen would not have felt them- elves bound to support the nominee of the caucus, with- out regard to person, and they were therefore not con- sidered fit to assist in the selection of a candidate, Four ballots were had, the fourth ballot resulting in the choice of EM Slifer, Esq., of Union county. Mr. Slifer’s 1 previous relatiios have been with the whig party, having represented the district cf Union and Ju- niata in the Legislature in 1850 and 1861, and the Mif- flim, Union and Juniata district in the State Senate in + 1852, °53, and ’54. His legislative career was a highly honorable one, developing the posesssion of many ster- ling qualities. He has a well balanced mind, a sound judgment, and good business habits, and is a man of stern integrity. He is fittingly tobe placed in charge of the public funds, and will doubtless discharge the duties of the office faithfully and satisfactorily. His principal competitors (were Joseph Bailey, the for- mer State Treasurer, and Thomas J. Power, of Beaver county—both late democrats. On no ballot bad the for- mer more than twenty votes of the seventy-nine in at_ tendance—on the last ballot he had seven! Mr. Power had twenty-eight, and Mr. Slifer forty-seven. Mr. Bailey has thus, earned little by” his pilgrimage to Lan- caster and forcing himself into'the order, except the con- tempt of honorable men in and out of the organization. As I predicted, he has been been beaten—his meanness despised by those it was intended to conciliate. Mr. Power was supported by a number of Americans who were recently whigs, because of his location, but Mr. Slifer’s superior claims were felt and recognized by the large majority of the convention. A number of gentlemen have been in town during the last ten days, pressing upon Governor Bigler the pro- priety of pardoning Dr. Beale, the Philadelphia dentist, who was recently convicted of an outrage upon a female, and sentenced to four years and six months imprison- ment. You will recollect the peculiar features of the case, and Ineed not recapitulate them. They were so peculiar as to attract general attention to the nature of the testimony, and elicited a large amount of proof that the evidence, on whicl»he was convicted was of a most unsatisfactery character. The female under the influ- ence of ether, is said to have fancied what she swore she felt, and, as an effect of the drug, to have been unable to testify reliably of what pai while she was under its operation. Three of the Judges of our Supreme Court, on an examination of the testimony, have declared it ut- terly inconclusive, and have advised a prompt uncondi- tional pardon, as a measure of justice to an improperly- convicted man. Numbers of the clergy have become in- terested in the case, and a large amount of influence, of the most unquestionable character, has been brought to bear; but thus far (Friday evening) without avail. The Governor hesitates to take the responsibility, and will most likely, praeperonay, leave the spplication as a legacy to his successor, althongh be has had abundant leisure to have Porcugaty investigated and positively decided the matter. ‘The highly respectable gentlemen who are bere here representing br. Beale are satisfied of his innocence, and consider him a be tg wronged man. Goy. Pollock is said to have offered the office of At- torney General to Thomas E. Franklin, of Lancaster, and the latter is said to have accepted the offer. There iso reasonable doubt of the truth of this report, though there are great doubts as to the excellence of the selectio: ny of Gov. Pollock’s friends fear he has committed a blunder, but it is nota very serious one, as the office has but few duties attached it, and is one of more honor than profit. A number of other names were before Gov. Pollock, the selection of either of whom would have given more general satisfaction than Mr. Franklin. ‘The reasons for the dissat sfaction which prevails, are these, so far as can learn them— Mr. Franklin is an old-line silver gray whig, aad ex- tremely conservative in his views. He is a lawyer of fair attainments, though not at the head of the Lancaster bar, and will briag suflicient ability to the post. He held the sama office for a year or more while Governor Johnston was the executive. He is an “old fogy ”? in principle, and finds the Young Amo- rica portion of Governor Pollock’s friends dissatisfied with his promotion. He can add no strength to the ad- ministration, as his popularity is very limited and influ- ence very small, and will derive more from the office than he will give to those who gave it. On the whole, the Governor may be said to have exhibited less than te usual tact in this appointment of an Attorney-Gene- ral, A step has been taken in the Senate which looks as though there might be an investigation into the trath of certain allegations of bribery, which wore freel; made eoncerning some members of tae last ture, That body in said to have been unusually corrupt, and the members but little cautious in concealis evi- dences of their shame. Hence, some cases in which money was used, became known to a number of persons, by whom the facts were divulged. By these revelations several, and some prominent parties, were seriously com- promised, the result of which was that a number who reasonably expected a return by their constituents, were either defeated in their application for re-nomiasation or defeated befeore the people. The subject of legislative bribery thus acquired considerable prominence in the political movements of the year, which has result. ed in a determination, in many circles, to dry up this prolific source of wrong. There is a law upon our sta. tute books, which passed in 1847, prohibiting the offering and receiving of bribes for votes, under @ penalty, for either offence, of a heavy fine and ixoprisonment, This law has teen repeatedly Violated, and no step had ever been taken with an apparent view to execute its penal. ties until Mr. Price of Philadelphia city introduced his bill. This requires all persons who have knowledge of any facts tending to prove a violation of this law, to testify their knowledge before a jary—in case of a trial in court; or a committee of inquiry in case of a legis- lative investigation—and releases them from all the ps- nalties imposed bj act. In the nature of things, those fond path any. eed those aoa received bribes are generally the 01 ‘rsons actu: cogniaant of the transaction, and would be the only witheaes capable of giving decisive testimony on the subject, though there are frequently corrobarative facts known by others. But both those who give and those who receive bribes are equally guilty in the eyes of the law; and some such act as is proposed is necessary before much progress could be made in an poor yy ee If it should be pur- sued, I am assured that tors and members, and others in high places, will be foundcrushed under a mass of testimony which will astound the common- wealth, Great efforts will, of course, be mais to stifle au investigation, since the risks attending itare so great; but they will be courageous who will volunteer to stop the inguiry. But, whether made or not, it is hoped the ibility of it may have a good effect upon the present r, Legislature, who are to elect a Senator, and some of whom may have their virtue sorely tried by 1 uni- to be ef bribes which a certain candidate is al wi , and, if necessary, determined to use. In New York, and all of the States of the Union, as well as in Congress, this system of Legislative corruption i sued to an alarming extent. It has been the growth « years, and r almost always been the bane 9 assem: s. It appes one of the strongest passions of tl toul—the love of money—before whose intensity the breach ot trust, the violation of oath, and the base per. version of justice involved in the deed, recede into n thingness.
