LEGISLATIVE CLERKs.-The Auditor of
State has reported to the Senate the names
and compensation Of The Clerks Of the Senate
and House of Representatives. for the ses-
sions Of 1852 and 1853. From this it ap-
pears that the whole compensation to Clerks
only, for these two sessions of the first Gen
eral Assembly under the new constitution,
was SlS,942 DO. In the first session the
number of Clerks was fifteen in the Senate
and seventeen in the House. A large por-
ton of these were employed through the
whole session. In the second session the
number in the Senate was twelve and in the
House sixteen. Among other items in the
report, it is stated that w. w. Krkey,
who received $3.50 as Clerk in the Senate.
was at the same time Private Secretary Of
the Governor, for which he received at the
same time $3.50. Had a like proGigacy
been exhibited by Whig Administration.
the Democratic press would have exhausted
the whole vocabulary of denunciotion in
condemning it, AS it is, they are silent.

THE WIDow OF McINTIRE DEAD.-Mrs
Young, of GAINESVILLE, died last week-aged
about ninety. She was the wife of Rev
David Young, when she died, who is we'll
known as one of the patriarchs of the Meth
odist Church in Ohio. She was, when she
became his wife, the widow of John McIn-
tire, and sister of Jonathan Zane by whom
the town of GAINESVILLE was located John
McIntire died in 1915, and left large estate,
which by will, he divided between poor
children of the town of GAINESVILLE for a
school to be there established, and his wild
ow, during life On her death, the large es-
tate, nearly one hundred thousand dollars,
goes towards the benefcent object intended
by Mr.. McIntire A large amount of prop
erty has been held in GAINESVILLE since 1915,
on leases running during the life of the wild
ow, which leases are at last determined by
her death. The property was built up by
lessons, and good many interests have ac-
cumulated-dependent on the contingency
of Mrs. Young's life.
Mrs. Young was one Of the most remark
able women Of the West. She was pioneer
woman. She settled at GAINESVILLE in the
first cabin on the Muskingum banks. Many
story she could tell of Indian life-in
which she herself was the heroine. She was
strong g-handed, daring, noble woman-ful
of that adventurous spirit which belonged
to the Zane family, yet ever hospitable and
kind to all who needed her roof or her aid
She died as she lived, good Methodist

FARE TO CALIFoRNIA.--In answer TO the
inquiries Of several correspondents, we would
state that The fare to California via the 18TH
mus by steamship from this city is Sl50 in
the first cabin, Sl25 in the second cabin,
and from s75 to Sll0 in the steerage. Al
though the foregoing are the present prices,
yet they are much below the usual rate-$250
in the first cabin, $l75 in the second, and
1925 in the steerage having been charged
within the past three months, and no doubt
will be again. In first class clipper ships,
via Cape Horn, the fare is from $3.50 to $500.
The freight on measurement goods is from
So to 65 cents per cubic foot N. Y. Tnb.

Horrible TRAGEDY.-We learn from the
State Journal that two Americans and
thirteen Cinnamon were murdered in Shasta
county, by the Indians, under the following
circumstances:
Two white men, one named Guild, the
other Ingalls,, while on prospecting tour,
in company with nineteen Cinnamon, were
murdered at McCloud's river, twenty miles
east of Pittsburg, Shasta county, by the In
dians. They were encamped, and fifteen
Indians came into the camp. The Indians
appeared friendly at first; but at word
from their chief, they seized the guns and
ran with them. Ingalls, seized a club and
struck the hindmost Indian and knocked
him down. The Indians Immediately COM
commenced firing on Guild and ingalls,, and
also at the Cinnamon. Six of the Cinnamon,
however, escaped, and came to Pittsburg.
A party started out Immediately, and
found the body of ingalls,; one arm cut off
at the elbow. and his head smashed up hor
ribly with stones. They also found the
bodies Of thirteen Cinnamon three had their
arms cut off; and all their heads had been
smashed in with stones. The body of Guild
could not be discovered They saw tracks
which they supposed to be his, leading down
to the river; also blood trailing along
They also saw marks of an axe, which he pro-
baby fought with, and they supposed he
Jumped into the river. From appearances
some of the Cinnamon had fought like tigers,
he ground around them being completely
Lrodden down. California Chronicle.

The Sectional Character or Presidential,
Elections.


The present aspect Of politics in the Unit ID
States and the general brt aking up of old To-
liticnl parties. with the threatening character
OF the Nebraska question and other Issues con-
nected with slavery and free soil, lead to tie
conclusion that the election Of President in
1856 will assume decidedly sectional charac-
TERN other words, that il viii be an issue
between North and South, or between the non
slaveholding and slavcholding States The
friends Of the Union are much alarmed at this
state Of things, and many good men seem to
indulge in feelings Of despondeacy with regard
to the duration Of the United States ia one
great conlederacy, as at present existing or to
be enlarged by further annexation or admis-
sions into the Union Of new States u may
do something towards relieving such very natu-
raj anxeties, to look a little into our past po-
litical history, to see how often great national
questions, and particularly elections Of Presi-
dent, have been decided by sectional votes. but
have always been acquicsced in as the decision
Of the majority.
It's well known that in the Continental Con-
eress, and in the National Convention of 1881,
which framed the constitution of the United
States, sectional jcalouses frequently exhibited
themelves, and questions between the North
and the South, which threatened to asitatc dis
union, were only settled by great wisdom, for
beararcc and patriotism. Hence arose the
conn ron. yes OF the constitution in the conven-
ton, and the amendments thereto which were
adopted by the first Congress, aud sanctioned
by the State legislatures. Hence also was dis.
played the wisdom Of the friends of the consti.
tuition in selecting George Washington
and John Adams, as the candidates for
President ana Vice President, at the frs,
national election in 1889. the feelings o.
the South and North being carefully cousal,el
