WASHINGTON, May 4th.
The NeD Nicaraguan Minister TO be Receired-
Practical 4nnuiment oCthe Neutrality Lars
--Uaikerism a new Plank in the Democratic
Pfntform-An agent to Investigate the Pa
mama OutrGges, &c.
1t Is asserted that the President will receive
tho new Minister from Nicaragua. and that the
Minister. who is now in New York. has been ap.
priced ct this intention, and will, accordingly,
present himself in n day or two to Mr.. Marcy
The name of the Minister appointed is Vigil. and
he Is said to be high dgn,nry of the church,
aud an intelligent aud worthy man.
1t Is also asserted that a number of thu Dem
ocrafie Senators have exerted their influence with
the Executive to procure, in this manner the
cognltion of Walkers government. This recog
milton will probably be followed by practical an-
nulment of the neutrality laws; so far the
forcement OF the same would prevent Walker
from receiving material aid and munitions
from the United States.
Whntever IS to be done in that direction must
be done quickly, for Walkers letter 10 Senator
Weller shows that he needs help. and moreover
the Cincinnati Convention is at hand, where the
Walker question is to furnish n new plank of tho
democratic platform. Mr., Wheeer's relations
with The Nicaraguan government will be restored
and he will be retained in his post for he has
proved himself more violent fbuster than any
other American in that region, except Walker
himself.
Tho effect of these movements viii be to con
firm Walker in his power and enable him Ia car.

Are the Mines giving out. ?

We frequently hear it remarked that the
mines about Weaver are giving out They
are giving out, but not in the way croakers
would have it understood, for they are Civ
ing out large quantities Of gold as a remu-
neration to steady, industrious and perseyer-
ing miners who do not-become discouraged
if they work a few days without making any
thing. We know Of one claim, which dur
ing the week past has yielded over six thou
sand dollars to three shares 1t is true this
amount is not the result Of single weeks
work, the owners having been engaged in
ground-sluicing for some time, and last week
washed up. We hear Of another claim, the
owners Of which have just finished washing
up, the proceeds Of which amounted to eight
thousand dollars. There are many compa-
nies doing equally as well, but miners gener-
ally who have good claims are very careful
not to have it known
The claims we refer to above, are not a
mile from town. in the midst of the old dig
gings, some portions of the ground worked
being old ground, that is ground that had
been worked before The fact is, there APP
pears to be no such thing as exhausting the
supply of gold, even though Gas is the case
in the Weaver mines, they have been work
ed overand over again. The improvements
which are constantly being invented and de
vised for saving gold, renders the re-working
of old claims profitable, and the Weaver
diggngs will yield rich returns for perseyer-
ing industry for years to come. We enter
tain no fears Of their giving out

Schools.

A short time ago petition was in circu-
laton to raise money for the purpose Of
building public school room. When last
we saw that petition it was numerously
signed, and we were in hopes the building
would ere this have been under process Of
construction. What has become Of it? A
school is becoming more necessary here
every day, as amy one will admit who will
notice the number Of children playing about
the town and suburbs. We understand that
lady eminentIy qualified to take charge of
n school, has been here for sometime expect
ing school room would be prepared for her,
and she intimates that unless some steps are
soon taken to assure her it will be done, she
will be compelled to leave us. We trust
the school commissioners will attend to this
matter at once, and not allow a teacher to
leave because proper accommodations are
not furnished. We heard there was some
difficulty in procuring a lot whereon to build
We think there would be no difficulty in
procuring lot for that purpose in Faggs-
vile, and certainly a more eligible situation
could not be found in the vicinity of Wea-
verYille. Only families reside there, it is re-
moved from the hustle and confusion of the
main town, and besides, the country is level
and an excellent play ground could be OBJ
tanned for the children. We trust this mat
ter will not be allowed to remain neglected,
but that it will receive forthwith the attcn-
tian Its Importance merits.

Another Murder.

We are called upon to chronicle another
murder in our county, which occurred on
Canon Greek on Saturday the 10Th instant
John Wise killing Thomas Collins. The
circumstances are these: Wise and Collins
were interested together in a Water Race;
Wise started for Collins cabin on Saturday
last to have settlement with him; on the
way there he stopped and conversed with
Messrs Shaw and Raisbeck, who live about
one quarter of mile from Collins cabin
During the conversation Wyse informed
these gentlemen that he was going up to see
Collins and remarked eff Collins did not
take care he would stretch out his neck
longer than he ever had it stretched before"
He soon after left and proceeded to Collins
cabin. carrying with him an old rifle; about
an hour afterwards, Mr.. Raisbeck went over
to Collins cabin to carry him pen and ink
which he had promised to loan, as Collins
wanted to write to his father. Upon enter
inc the cabin Mr.. Raisbeck found him lying
on his back. with a terrible wound on the
left side of the head evidently caused by a
bullet. The alarm was instantly given and
parties started in all directions in pursuit Of
the murderer. In the meantime, Wise
crossed the mountain and come down to
McGilliyray's Ranch, on Trinity river, told
them what had happened and gave himself
up. He said at first he killed Collins in self
defence, and afterwards said his rifle went
off accidentally. lie was taken back to
Canon Creek by a deputation from the
creek, and there delivered into the hands OF
Sheriff Neblett, who brought him to Wea-
veryile and lodged him in jail. Wise has
since had an examination before Justice
Norcross, who committed him to await the
action Of a grand jury.
Coroner A. Shepard held an inquest over
the body Of Collins The jury returned a
verdict that deceased came to his death
from the effects of pistol or rifle bullet
fired by same otner person. (Who the othel
person was, the verdict did not state
Collins was from ST. Louis, Mo, anc

A Law Abiding Community.

AS an evidence that a great change has
been gradually working in the feelings and
opinions of our citizens, the two murders
which have occurred within the county du-
ring the last two weeks are striking IN
stances. Two or three years ago had
tyo lust such murders occurred, summary
punishment under the rules and regulations
of Judge Lynch's court would most assured
" have been attempted, and quite likely
carried out; but now, we are proud of being
able to set forth the fact that, although in
both these cases the circumstances attending
them were Of a most atrocious and punish
cnt-descryiHg nature, yet the people OF
Weayeryille (where the first murder was
committed, and Of Canon Creek (where
the second tragedy was enacted, manifested
not the slightest indication or desire to en-
force speedy punishment on the guilty by the
rules of the court aforesaid; on the contrary,
the prisoners charged with these offences
were promptly delivered into the custody of
the proper authorities.
Although praise should not be given to
any person or community for doing their
duty, or for obeying the laws of the land
which they through their representatives
have made for their own government, never
theless, in California the practice Of thus dis
posing of persons guilty Of crimes Of this ma
ture is SO general, and people have become SO
used to regarding this course as absolutely
necessary, and, indeed, part of their duty,
that the allowing a legal investigation to
proceed uninterrupted becomes rather the
exception than the rule. We therefore con
gratulate our citizens upon this evident man

REPAIRING NosE.-A surgical operation
as successful as novel, has just beer per
formed in our city by Dr. l.. l.. Miller
which deserves a public notice, as an indica
tion of the possibilities of modern surgery
1t is no less than the substitution, or rather
creation, of a perfect nose, to supply the
place of the natural organ
The patient on whom the first operation
OF the kind in this city was performed, had
lost the whole cartilagenous and feshy part
of the organ; and the operation consisted in
cutting flap from the integument OF the
forehead Immediately above the nose, ana
bringing the same down and over the aPel-
ture on the face, and then securing 1t 10 Ihe
edges of the space created by the loss $: ol @ 'ne

the present organ was a child of surgical

DEATH IN THE GAMBLING HoUsE.-Rey,
Mr.. Pierpont, on Sunday last, related the
following as an actual occurrence which re-
Gently took place in Georgetown:-A party
of gamblers were congregated around ta-
BILE, deeply engaged in the excitement OF the
game, when a young man, who had been
some time ILL., stepped into the room, and
took seat by the stove lie sat for some
time, without uttering word, but attracted
the notice of the players by the singular APP
pearance of his countenance. AT length a
physician came in, and one Of the gamblers
asked him to examine the man and see what
was the matter with him. The physician
Immediately reported he was dead Not
another word was uttered by any of the
gambling party; but they proceeded with
the game as though nothing unusual had
happened. The Rev. gentleman commented
upon the occurrence as proof Of the har
dening and demoraliziDg influence which this
most detestable of all vices exerts upon the
human heart.-GraSS Valley Telegraph.
