Gss- Aaron Bracy, a colored man, found
Chinaman in his house, near Auburn, on
Wednesday last, in the act of robbng the
premises. John made tracks as fast as pos
sible, and Aaron demanded that he should
"heave to" and show his papers, and failing
to comply, he shyed gun-barrel, which
struck John on the back of the head with
such force as to eflectualy deprive him of
breath. Justice Finley held Aaron to bail to
appear at the next Court of Sessions to an
wer the charge of murder.
The constituency think Aaron did right,
and hold him guiltless of crime.

A RICu ScENE-ALMOsT A RAPE.--Jack

A RICH ScENE-ALMosr A RAPE.-Jack
HAYS, not the renowned Texas warrior, was
prosecuted on Friday, the Goth ult., before
the Recorder of Sacramento City, upon the
charge of attempting to rape" The COM
plainant was young lady Of some seventeen
summers-a creature Of sunny smiles and
golden rnglets. She was backed by her
aunt, lady of strong nerves and determined
character. When the evidence was closed
the following collqouy between the attorneys
for the defendant and the Court took place,
and here also are the conclusions to which
his Honor arrived.
THE CoURr.-Do you want to argue the
case?
Mr.. Ferguson and Mr.. Stewart both replied
in the negative.
THE CouRr.--Well, then, it will be easily
decided. If this attempt, as it is proved
here, had been committed on mere child,
there might be reason to hold the defendant
for trial, but when made on girl of II years,
fully developed, and she comes into Court
and testifes that she closed the door after
the defendant had been making familiar with
her, that she did not scream during the
whole affair, but on the contrary kept as
quiet as possible, lest the people should find
out what was going on, and testifies, in fact,
that there was little violence, as she readily
got off the bed, and when off that there were
no improplieties taken with her, it assumes
quite a different aspect When party is
charged with committing violence, such as
an assault with intent to kill or do great
bodily harm, it must be shown that the wea-
pons with which such an act could be COM
mtted, whether pistol or knife, were drawn.
Here it does not appear that any weapon
with which the crime charged could be COM
mtted was drawn; therefore the intent is not
fully shown. The mere act of manipulation,
or having his hands upon her person, or in
her bosom, is not a very serious charge. If
every man who lays his hands upon woman
were liable to be prosecuted therefor, opine
there would be few of us safe. The defend
ant is discharged.

The Placer herald., 1856-03-08

In 1880 the people Of ancient Poland
hurled the tyrant master tho Russian despot
had placed above them, from his lofty seat,
and established q liberal government with
such domestic institutions as suited their
tastes. This was not agreeable to the Re-
publican ideas Of the Russ, and he swept
down upon them with his Cossack hordes and
re-riveted their chains upon them.
Still later we can note the struggle of the
brave Hungarians, and the progressive action
Of the Austrians. "
Through the agency Of this Anti-Nebraska
doctrine, neither Pole nor Magyar have home
or country, but are wandering outcasts.
The excuse for the present war in the East,
is desire to interfere with the domestic in
stitutions of Turkey, in an oficious inter-
meddng with the religion Of that people.
Her friends (God save the mark), the allies,
by news of the last steamer, were sitting in
council over her most vital interests and not
Turk admitted to its deliberations. These
allies will arrange her internal matters, to
suit their own tastes. Progressiye-yerv.
These are some Of the practical fruits of
Black Repubhcanism. If these prove its
leading idea to be liberal and progressive,
then we have no conception Of the meaning
Of the words Turn your pulpits into polit
cal rostrums, and thunder forth your anath-
emas against the slave-holder--shout your
senseless war cry of"no more slave territory"
and free soil" but take care where your
doctrine leads to. AS you weep over the
fortunes Of the regeneratcd black barbarian,
do not forget that the civilized white man is
as sensitive to insult and chains as your black
pet Above all never assume to stand in ad-
vance with the people, of that party whose
energy, wisdom and great philanthropy has
made this nation the wonder and admi-
ration Of the civilized people Of the world.
Talk not to the people Of being the party of
progress, until you have blotted out the rec
ords of history and fanaticized the brains of
men.

The Placer Press and the Sheriff's Office.

AitC ldCCl L 1888 tIAiQ tllC LII OilACc
The tenacity with which the Press adheres
/ to the interests of this Office of the sheriff,
would induce one to believe there was no
other question Of equal importance in the
county Mr.. VIM T. Henson is a courteous
gentleman and excellent citizen and his sub
ordnates are pleasant young men. We have
every reason to believe the duties of the Of
fee are discharged with honesty and good
faith. But whilst we award thus much in
praise we must in Justice say that we think
it could be more efficiently managed No
one has attacked that officer, nor do we in
tend to do so at this time, for which reason
we are astonshcd to find in successive issues
Of that paper elaborate quasi defenses of Mr..
Henson Truly, that gentleman might say
save me from my friends.
Is there proposition to divide the county,
the columns of that paper teen with argu-
ments tending to show that the sheritf's Of
flee would be materially injured thereby
that the business now don't pay, for which
reason, gentlemen, YOU can have no Wash
lngtoa county. Does correspondent Of the
HeroM casually suggest that the fees Of Of
flee might in some instances be reduced, the
sheriff is trotted out again for exhibition,
and we are told that he is martyrizng him
self and deputies when transacting criminal
business. Self-sacriiicing devotion to the
public veal is one of the characteristics of
officers in this State, and this doubtless ac-
counts for that Office doing the business Of
Mr. Love, the constable of this township,
when there were some eighty or one hun
dred warrants to serve, out of Justice Fin
ley's court recently. We don't pretend to
know anything about the facts further than
that the sheritf's Office did the business.
Perhaps Mr., Love refused to do his duty.
Thus, we see, that all matters of county
interest must steer clear Of the sheritf's Of
flee or forthwith the Press pounces upon it
and urges that as most potent reason why
the move should not obtain. That paper
seems to rest under the halucination that
the entire county organization was instituted
to support and give potency and dignity to
that Office.
For one we think the office is surrounded
with entirely too much patronage 1t is
neither wise nor safe to make such lode-
ment of power in ono office; particularly
as the practical results exhibit in the noun
tain counties. Our Legislature has been
making laws for sheritfs ever since we have
been State, and the people arc sick and
tired of this eternal adulation of sheriffs
When the position becomes burthensome, let
the party resign there are plenty of other
men desrous of immoating themselves upon
the altar of their country.

vention of this county was composed, of the

the County Fair, from the first of October to

grounds in readiness, and then they found it
would conflict with the Crawford and Marion

it adv isable to again postpone the Fair until
the time above mentioned. At that time every
