OUR COUNTY JUDGgs-InE New AND THE
OLD.-We wish 10 call the attention Of our
readers to the very able charge delivered to
the Grand Jury Of this county by the Hon.
R. T Miller, County Judge.
This, tho first appearance Of our present
Judge before the public in his official capac-
ty, does much credit to our new magistrate.
ms an indication Of the strong, well trained
mind, and the eminent legal ability that cha.
racierizes IT, II is n pleasing indication 10
the people Of this county, that they possess
IN Judge Miller Judicial Officer capable 10
understand the important dutes deyolyng
upon him, and one who is determined and
ready to fulfil those duties in accordance with
the laws which have been framed for his Cuid
ancc and our governance. So good a com.
mcncement Of judicial career augurs much
for the future course Of our talented friend.
May it be as pleasant aud agreeable to him
Ne we arv sure it will be satisfactory to the
public.
While on this subject. we would say few
words respecting his predecessor in Office.
For over three years the Hon. Chas L. vii
Ian has fulfilled the duties OF County Judge
IN this county ably--how we'll 1t is On
necessary for Us to say. Those Of us who
have been citizens Of Trinity County during
that time honor the Judge and appreciate he
gentleman. We have seen him placed in
tiyinr circumstanees--w have witnessed the
course pursued by HIN in his Judicial capa-
city. when the elements of society were in
thai chaotic confusion characteristic Of the
carly history Of our young State--when the
turbulent mass considered themselves above
law and beyond rs reach. rEr"rsh the
whole course Of his career as public officer
he so conducted himself rs TO win the respect
of al--the admiration and affection Of the
many. No person occupying similar posi-

IloRRIBLE MURDgR.- learn from the
Shasta Comier, that person by the name Of
David G. Goodwin was murdered near
IIorsetown on the night Of the 18th inst
The supposed murderer is a man named Al
exander Higgins alios Williams, who had
been in the employ of Goodwin for some time
previously. The Covricr SAYS:
1t seems that Gooduin had left TTorsetown
on the evening Of his death considerably un-
der the influence of drink and it is thought
that the scoundrel Higgins took advantage oi
his helpless state to murder him for small
amount Of money which I've had concealed
about his person. On the night Of the mur>
der Higgins appeared IN llorsetown. and was
observed to have n large spot of blood upon
his shirt, and when questioned about it ho
said that his nose had been e,ding
The body Of the murdered man was not
discovered until the 2Oth. 1t was found in
an cid prospecting hole, partly covered with
ashes. The skull was fractured Immediately
above the eye-there was also deep cash
on the upper lip. An axe. with which the
deed was doubtless committed, was found
near the cabin. with blood and hair upon it
The floor Of the cabin was also spotted with
blood, winch, in some instances were covered
with ashes.

On the Shoulder.

We clip, from the Nevada journal, the
following amusing account of dreadful
encounter with D. G. Broderick. It seems
the man is still alive and doing we'll:
approached Broderick with great deal
of caution looked out for "soft place to
fall' in case shouldn't be able to dodge
his blows. went through the formula OF
an introduction as hastily as possible and
threw myself "on guard" determined to act
solely on the defensive.
| fixed my eyes as sternly as I was ca
pable ofdoing on his-threw my weight on
my right foot, my left slightly advanced,
placed my arms with fists tightly doubled
80 as to guard my front-and assumed
all the positions" laid down in the best
works on the "manly art" There 1 stood
gaze fixed, every muscle strained to its ut
most tension, firm as the "Kuight. Of the
IRON hand" Broderick gazed inquiringly
for moment, turned to d. and remarked
"your friend is excited" Thinking this
professional ruse to throw me off nv
guard, sprang back after the most ap-
proved Fitzgerald style, and determined to
"go down" on his first motion towards me.
From what had read Of him supposed
he always carried the gloves with him
and spent most ofhis time in giving iustruc-
tions to his friends, and studying up new
passes from the shoulder" Since then
| have seen much of him and had nv mind
disabused of many impressions concerning
him. He is quiet, digni6ed, command
ing man.
