SHooTING.-A man by the name OF
Coates shot man by the name of Wos-
tenhof, at Washington, in this county, on
Friday night last. We understand that
Wostenhof has since died. The only
statement we have heard in relation to the
matter is this: They had both been
drinking together until they were very
drunk, when Wostenhoff went to bed
Coates shortly after called into his cabin
and wanted him to get up. This he was
unwilling to do, when Coates seized a
double-barrelled shot gun, with the inten-
ton of discharging it over his head to
frightcn him but as the gun was presen-
ted Wostenhoff jumped up and received
the contents of the gun as it went off,
Wostenhoff then exclaimed Il am shot -
Coates, who had cooked both barrels.
jumped back in surprise, when the other
barrel went off, portion of the contents
lodging in the body of WostenhoH. We
have no positive information that this
statement is correct, however. Coates is
in Jail.

ASSAULT on AN EDIroR.-A most das
tardly assault was made on Monday last
on Mr.. Cpson, editor of the Sacramento
C"toa by Ex-Controller Bell in the lobby
of the Senate. The provocaticn is said to
be, the remarks Dnde some time since IN
the Union concerning the issuance of the
State Prison scrip. If Mr.. Ex-Controller
Sam Bell intends to treat all alike, who
think there was fraud in that affair. he has
taken the job of cracking the heads Of
every body in the State.

Sunday evening, the Lone Star boys, who
had stationed themselves at the junction,

FIVE dollars to the pan. On going back

the company had run three hundred feet

same. This was ascertained last Septem-
Der. The company then concluded to
continue the tunnel in the gravel. The
tunnel is now in over 5000 feet, and is

BANKS VS.. THE CALIFORNIA PREss.--The
following Know Nothing newspapers seem to
hail with delight the election of Banks to the
| Speakership !: Marysville Herald, Coloma Ar-
gus and the Nevada Journal. What will the
next Know Nothing State Convention dc
with the matter p State Journal.
How the Nevada Journal has 'hailed
with delight the election of Banks" we
have been unable to ascertain. The state
ment is Misrepresentation, and it is not
the first time that paper has been guilty
of the same injustice to us. We are op-
posed to the agitation of sectional issues
in California, and so, we believe, are the
American party. We have sufficient re-
forms in our own State to make without
mixing ourselves up in the disputes and
enmities which exist six thousand miles
away. This, we believe, will be the
course which the American party will
take at its next State Convention. Cali
fornia is dependent upon the votes from
all sections of the Union for appropria-
tons from Congress, and it would be very
foolish to ALLEVIATE any one section from u.s.
The Democratic party can do so if it
chooses. That is no business of ours
But the American party will eschew all
sectional issues. We have enough to do
in reforming old abuses and in placing the
credit of the State upon sound basis.-
We want honest lawmakers and an honest
Judiciary. But this don't suit the State
Journal, of course. That paper says, in
effect, to the American party-"Overlook
all the real interests of California, and
turn your eyes to the Orient" 1t
reminds us of the pick-pockct who direc-
ted gentleman to look heaven-ward. and
who, on doing so, was robbed. Let the
American party adopt the advice of its
ofiicious adviser, and the official plunderers
OF the last few years will get their fingers
into the Treasury again.

oHthe mechanics of Nevada to meet ar
Abbott's Hall, on Tuesday evening next.
The object of the meeting is to consider
the eNpediency of forming Mechanics
Association. We hope all who feel an
interest in the formation of such an asso
citation will attend, for the object sought
to be attained is laudable. and, if success
ful. would confer honor on those engaged
in it and be benefit to this portion of
the State. Mr.. 0. N. Smith, practical

of the Union Hotel, signs the call in behalf

ARREST FOR FoRGERY-Eisha w. Brown
of Union County. Ohio, was arrested in this
town on Wednesday morning last, charged
with having forged bills to the amount of from
$4,000 to $4,000, which were accepted and
puid by various Ohio banks. Mr. Brown is
represented to have been cattle dealer and
respectfully connected. He left New York in
steamship on the 2lst of January, accom-
panied by his wife. and was pursued by j. B.
Armstrong in the next steamer, who brought
requsition from the Governor of Ohio for
his arrest. Accordingly Mr.. Armstrong and
Sheriff w. w. Wright appreh ended him.
He was living with his wife in very humble
circumstances. She, poor woman, was nearly
distracted, and offered the officer all the money
they possessed, something less than two hun
dred dollars. This he declined taking, and is
said to have expressed regret that he had
found Mr.. Brown, as he was supposed to be
possessed of large amount of money.
AS Mrs. Brown is now with US and has
made many friends who sympathise with her
in her misfortune, it is but justice to state her
story. 1t to this effect Mr.. Brown was au
thorised to draw on her father, in making pur.
chases Of stock, in small sums, without being
specified as to the aggregate amount. On
the two speculutions previous to his last, he
had lost money, and bis last operation was not
more successful. Finding he could not extri.
cate hms.l from his embarrassments other
wise, he drew on his father-in-law for S5 900,
expecting the drafts would be honored. Find.
ing they would not be, and that he was lik ely
to be prosecuted there, he left with his wife
for California to tempt fortune anew. 1t is to
be hoped Mrs. Brown, who had not the means
OF accompanying her husband home, will be
the recipient Of every kindness which we, as
Californians can bcstow.
Those who know her can easily ascertain if
it is lsr desire to depart with her husband
If so it is not yet too late.

X is of no use to preach honesty for the

("I concur in that last remark, old fell

'Freedom Of religion, freedom of the
press, freedom of person, under the pro-
tec.ion of the habeas corpus, and tried by

How does this agree with "strict con
struction of the constitution" which th'

that "a militia captain was just as goo'
