CEMENT IiILL-HAwK-EYE Cove were
shown few days since some specimens of the
gold taken from these claims which was very
fine, and of the best quality in our market.
The claims were first located by MIR. Jno. Stipp,
and 0. N. Hodge, some eighteen months since.
who commenced operations by running cut
in the hill at cost Of $1,000. The cut not
being low enough, a tunnel was driver into
the hill 600 feet, which has proven to be Of
the right depth, as the company have struck a
rich bed of gravel, which pays we'll for the
energy and perseverance displayed by the
gentlemen above referred to.
The largest amount taken ont in week is
$4,000, the labor of three drifters. A thousand
dollars week would be a small average of the
yield of the above claims. The claims are
very large and will be worked upon for years
to come with the best success.
The amount realized last week was 81 GOO

MURDER OF A CHINAMAN.-The body OF
a Chinaman was found on Saturday last,
on the trail leading from Cold Springs to
Frenchman's Bar. An inquest was held
on Monday, by Sidney c. Herbert ESQ.,,
ofthis city, from whom we obtained the
following facts. The deceased was shot
through n the head, the ball entering near
the right eye, which must have caused in
slant death another severe wound was
found in the lower part of the left side OF
the face. Deceased formerly kept ira
ding post on Frenchman's Bar, but at the
time of his death, was engaged in pack
ing between this city and the Bars on the
South Yuba, in the vicinity of French
mans. From testimony taken at the in
quest it appears that the name of the Chi
nanian was Chue, that he had about $500
on his person at the time of his death,
which was taken by his murderers. A
Colts revolver was also taken. Deceased
was accustomed to carry a sack containing
papers of value hung about his neck by a
string, which was cut, and the sack gone.
Around the body, at the time of the dis
covery, were seen many tracks, and an ex-
animation of the ground round about,
proved rather plainly that there were at
least two engaged in the murder, one of
whom was lying in waiting, behind cius-
ter Of pines, the other behind log. AT.
ter the commission of the deed, they ran
into the canon on the left. One must
have been large man, the other small,
Judging from the size of their foot prints
The mule which the Chinaman was driving
has not yet been discovered.
From various circumstances which have
transpired, it is thought, there is regu-
larly organized band infesting the neigh
borhood, engaged in the business of rob-
bing the Chinese. The citizens are repre-
sented to be alarmed at this diabolical
murder, committed in open day, in this
hitherto quiet neighborhood.
We have been thus particular in giving
facts which have been brought to light,
hoping that attention may be awakened,
and some clue be obtained to the murder
ers.

PUBLIC SENTIMENT IN NEvADA.-Quite
demo nstration was made yesterday morning,
on Spring street. A body of our citizens,
headed by one of the most distinguished gen.
tlemen of the place, elected certain claimants
from the Baptist Church, without awaiting the
tardy operation of the law. The whole pro-
ceedings was conducted with dignity and
christian spirit, in the highest degree credita
BILE to the parties engaged.
The action of this suddenly organized yigi-
lance Committee was the more unexpected
from the fact that the legal gentleman who re-.
commended this procedure, and whose presence
and influence gave tone to the whole operation
has heretofore denounced in no measured terms
the action of the San Francisco Vigilance
Committee. He has doubtless seen the error
OF his ways, and these are the first fruits of his
repentance.
Wit h this gentleman as standard bearer. we
should be most happy to see Vigilance Com
mittee organized in this place, to settle some
OF those vexed theological questions which have
so long divided the religious community
Faith BY the sword" said Mahomet, and ere
ligion by the People in their sovereign capaci-
ty'' says the Vigilance Committee. We would
suggest to this organization the immaculate
conception Of Mary as question that might
with propriety be revised, aud shall leave their
our good discretion aud distinguished leader to
suggest such further operations as may require
their interference.

16r The recent excitabIe times created

1@ The recent excitable times created
by the assassination of James King of
William, and the summary punishment of
murderers, has produced for the time be-
ing, an almost total stagnation in politics.
Little has been said by papers of either
side, except a paragraph now and then,
just to show they "were on it." All
seemed to eschew political issues to es-
pouse one side or the other, in the tragi-
cal scenes which were being enacted
And now, that the first great act in the
drama is over, the criticisms of the
press are forthcoming, either laudatory or
otherwise.
Generally, the American press of the
State has taken part with the people, and
sustained the action of the Vigilance Com.
mittee.
The Democratic press has, in a major
ity of cases, devoted itself to the vindica
ton of violated and imperative "law and
order.' The San Francisco Globe, Shasta
Courier, and l or 2 others, do not follow
in the wake of the party press in general
but range themselves on the side of jus
tice and right.
1t is not strange that the State Journal
and other papers of the same kidney.
should be found where they are. The
strangulation of such men as Casey, is an
irreparable loss to the Democratic party
By the services and influence of such men
a Democratic Governor has been twice
stuffed upon the people. Millions of dol.
lars have been wrenched from the honest
tax payers of the State, to support horde
OF political paupers, and complicated
piece of villainous machinery, been per-
fected to perpetuate the reign of rascality
Under the dictation of Palmer, Cook. &
Co., Ed. MCGOWAN, Yankee Sullivan ct ID
omne genus, all the officers in San Francis
co, were portioned out to the most aban.
doned Of the race. The recent rising o.
the people, is an indication that such pro
ceedings are at an end. The Democratic
party is thus shorn ofits strength.
No wonder that the State Journal wall.
for it is lament for power departed. |,
is fitting that other papers of like stripe
should cotton to the side of the murderer

can override, and set at nought the COM
mercial interests, which inseparably binds
large and influential portion of the En-
glish people, to the maintenance of AMIGA
bic relations between us and them, now
subsisting.
With England, commerce is king. A
rupture between the two nations of the
same blood, especially upon so trivial a
question as the Central American one,
would be piece of cut-throat work, for
which it is to be hoped, either country is
possessed Of craftsmanship enough to
avoid.
The masses of the people of England,
and the mercantile class, more than any
other, regard war with the United States
as the worst of calamities. But the will
of the people is of little import, when the
crotchety brain of a prime minister is set
upon mischief, or the established policy OF
civilized nations, requires the sacrifice Of
every true interest to perpetuate wrong,
to maintain the "balance of power"
