The Yreka Herald contains an account Of a
hanging affair which has recently taken place in
Yreka. A Frenchman who had killed citizen,
was arrested and placed in confinement by the
legal authorities. Some parties from Greenhorn

him Lynch trial, and hung him. The Herald
thus describes the closing scene of The tragedy

ROSE CooPER, AGATN.--We see by late
California paper that the celebrated Rose Cooper,
alias Rose Porter. Of Jane Trainer notorlety, is
neither dead nor reformed. II will be recollected
by many Of our readers that her counsel, Mt.
James r. Brady, grayely assured Judge Duer,
on the trial, that g Miss Cooper had abandoned
& her former course, g and resolved 10 lead lifeof
virtne, and to bring Jane mp g in ways Of moral
ity.' il would seem that Judge Duer took il all
in earnest. Butthe evidence recently taken be-
fore the Coroner's Jury. as detailed in the Cali
fbfnis papers. shows Rose at home again. Itap-

Ida Brewer, took her bowie knife, went from
Rose Cooper's house 10 another SUCH, and Ind

Lee, Ida plunged her bowie-knife into her, and
poor Mary died in some twenty minutes. The

DRAINING TO SoME PURPosE.-The
Highland EsgIe published in Westchester county,
N. Y, relates curious story, which, if it were
not vouched for BY newspaper Of s'undouhted
veraciiy,' would test to the utmost the credulily
Of our readers. Mr. Geo. F. Sherman, Of Cold
Spring, lost pocket book containing about 1912
in bank bills, and number Of dlafts, notes, and
valuable papers. He communicated The fact to
Mr. Dykeman, the Deputy Sheriff of Putnam Co.
Mr. Dykeman dreamed on the following night thai
the money was in possession Of George McNary,
. clerk ia the store Of Messrs. H g. E. Potion
thata part of 1t was fastened in the inner lining
Of his vest, and a part ia the crown Of his cap,
and that among the bills was a note on the Put
nam County Bank Of $40. For the purpose Of
gratifying the suspicious excited in Mr. Dykeman's
mind BY this dream,. McNary was subsequently
arrested, and $s5s, with the $40 note among
them, were found ia the places indicated. Nc.
Nary confessed that he had found the wallet, had
burned its contents with the exception Of the
package Of bills, and intended TO leave the place
with his spoils. He afterwards made his escape
from the officers, and was not again arrested.

u The wing presses deny that Edward Ev-
sreit's course in relation to the appointment Of
the standing committees Of the Senate, was llllb-
eraI and pusilanimous They say that Mr. Ever
EFT SIMPLY objected to recognizing Mr. Sumner as
a ,Olig and that he did not object to his being
placed upon any committee. This is not true.
The proposition made by the Democratic Caucus
to the Wing Caucus, 10 appoint Mr. samner TO
certain committees. did not imply any endorse
ment of his independent democracy. Il did not
commi, the Wings in The least to a recognition Of
his principles and course. It simply required
them to perform an act Of duty towards the SOW
ereign State Of Massachusetts. and of courtesy
towards one of the worthiest representatives that
she ever has had al the, Capitol Of the Nation.
Edward Everett unqaah6edly opposed the prop
osition formally made BY Mr. Seward in The WING
Caucus, to provide for Mr. Sumner on the Stand
ing Committees. Stewards proposition to con-
slider Mr. Sumner wing for the nonce .was mere
pleasantly, and Everett knets it was. The ques-
tion was whether, or not, the State Of Massachu-
sets should have Two representatives la the Com
mittees that supervise the National property, and
initiate proportions for National expenditures.
Edward Everett proposed that she should not, and
his proposition was carried.
Mr. Summers character. abilitys and relations
to the State Of Massachusetis entitled him not on
ly to the personal respect of Edward Everett. but
to his cordial support, when nominated to the
Committees. Mr. Sumner was elected to his
seat in the United States Senate by larger vote
than Edward Everett was. He holds his seat by
at least as clear tile as Everett does and
there are few in Massachusetts,, who do nca be-
Iieve that he represents the Old Bay State with
much more dignity and manliress than his Spite
fnl colleague Edward Everetl's conduct towards
MI Sumner has been most emphaticaly con-
demnedb BY almost every Independent press in the
country. His discourteous spitefnlness is endors-
ed only BY the meanest Of the wing papers, and
they constrained to falsfy the facts in order to
make any appearance Of Justification.
Mr.. Simmer, we know. can have no personal
feeling ia this matter He can afford to he des.
pitely used by doughfaces and hunkers;. and he
doubtless has no disposition to accommodate his
political conduct to their good opinion Blu, Ed
ward Esereit,either personally or as Massachu-
sets Senator, cannot afford to offer mean,
sPiiefuI, unqualified insult to another Massachu-
se'is Senator who is. at least. his equal in achol
arshiP ability and lranscendenily his superb
or in all that distinguishes statesman and gen.

A Coon OwE. Riding over the Hamilton g.
Dayton Railroad tile other day, under the charge
Of Mr. John Van Dusen, the gentlemanIy cond1c-
tor, pro tenn, he told US the following incident,
Which we thought worth making note Of
One day last week. said he, there came on
board Of the cars, from one OF the up country
stations, very prettys genteei young lady, en-
route for this city. She was alone, SO waited
upon her to good seat, and made her as COM
Portable as possible. Itwsaa few minutes before
the starting hour, and she was so agreeable and
so talkaiive, that fingered, and we had quite a
pleasant chat Afterwards when collecting the
tickets, she detained me again an instant, and
gave ms some fine peaches, which she said came
from her friends orchard, in the country; and
began 10 think that had not met such charm-
ing passenger for many day. Well, we arriv-
ed at the depot-there attended her to a car
rage, handed her up the carpet bag, and after
all, what do yoa think she said.'
Now, we thought of course, that the LADY,
would say very politely, thank you, SIR smile
like CLEAN Of sunshine, the carriage roIoff, our
friend John would bow an adieu, and, with
sigh turn away and forget the matter. So we
stated That as our supposi,ion.
No. said John, she did no such thing /; but
just as her foot was on the step. she turned, and
with sort Of look | can't describe, observed:
You must consider this, SIR, merely a. car ac-
zquaintance, Yon must not expect to be recog-
nized il we chance to meet anywhere else, and
John drew a long breath.
What did you say ? we asked
Why, thought that rather unciyil, at least,
so Ireplied very quickly
Certainly not, madam was just going to re-
mark that you must not feel sighted if unnotic-
ed by me anywhere but on the cars--for, really
we conductors have to be careful about our ac-
quaintance!'
d And the lady 2 said we. al
She looked quite silly as she drove off, replied

The RAILROAD GUAGE WAR.--Readers
have seen 90 much in the telegfsphin reports for
a week past, Of the mob al the city Of Erie,
Pennsy lYania, and the tearing up Of The railway
track, that 3hhy may be a little curious to know
the origin df the tronbie.-sI his arises from that
jsaious spirit which u too often fostere1 by rival
States and cities as wall as by Individuals and
comPanlsss ofdrawing away business from each
other. The cause Of this trouble is found in the
business jealousy between Pennsylvania and New
York. Il may be recollected that fora consid-
cradle time Pennsylvania obstinately refused the
right way though that State, for railroads run
ming from New York 10 the West, fearing they
would carry Western trade to New York, instead
Of Philadelphia. Finally. on condition that
break in that gauge Of the track should be made
al Erie, and all merchandise nnladsn andfeload-
ed the, so that il might Just well 60 10 the Phil
adelpha market, as TO New York or elsewhere,
the right Of way WIS conceded. The riots as they
have been termed by the telegraph, are move
ments countenanced by the city authorities If Erie,
and performed under their direction, as they con-
tend the railroad company have no rightto alier
the gauge SO as TO pass through there without un-
loading.
The Railroad routes connecting New York
with Ohio. must necessarily pass through the
State Of Pennsylvania, and are rival routes TO
WORKS upon Whtcn Fennsyivanta mas spent MUCH
money. This accounts for the letter Of sympathy
addressed by the Governor Of Pennsylvania to
the people ofErie. M
The New. York roads, the Erie With feet,
and the Buffalo with feet SIP inches gauges,
reach Buffalo and Dunkirk on one side, and the
Ohio roads with feet 10 inches gauges, extend
to Cleaveland on the other. To connect these
twopoints it was necessary to build the Lake
Shore Railroad. From difference Of the guages,
break must occur in some place, and the ques-
ton was. where should il be Cleaveland want
ed i and SO did Dunkifk and Buffalo but it was
hnaly found necessary to make it at Erie in order
to obtain the right ofway through Pennsylvania.
The Legislature of Pennsylvania, therefore, pass
ed law that all roads built from Erie, east,
should be either with feet IL inches or the 6
feetguage, these being the guages used in New
York and all roads built west Of that point
should be ofthe Ohio guage, A feet 10 inches
This permitted the people Of New York to bring
either Or both Of Their gaages to that point, and
the people ofOhio to reach The same point with
their guage.
1t was great Esisiake, arising from sectional
jeaouay, which made the railroads 10 different
States of various widths. It adds SO much TO the
costof transportation, that ultimately i. will be
found necessary to remedy the evil by changing
the tracks or by some invention by which loaded
cars may be moved from one set OF wheels to ano-
