itPninrmito Die

We have had our own, perhaps peculiar,
notions on the subject, when the difficulty OF
living during hard times often presented the
other contingency but we lind, in hunting
nm in search of some her matters, an an.
swer to cur question in physiological work
which states substantially, and evidently
from observation, that the act Of dying is

state of bodily torture, as in cases OF tatenus
Tha. the drunkard, dying of dtlirlunl tre-
mems, is haunted by terrible visions, and that

alities, even to the last. But these, and some
other instances which we might adduce, are
exceptions 10 the general rule, which Is-tha'
both mental and bodily suEferingS terminate
long before the scene is finally closed. Inen,
as to the actual fear OF death, 1t seems to US
that the author of our existence, lor the most
mart. gives il to us when it is intended that
we shall live, and takes itaway from us when
il is intended that we shall die.
Those who have lorg been tormented by
Bodily pain, are generally as anxious to die
as they ever was TO live. s. it ofen is with
those whose lives have been prot acted TO an

VETo OF THE APPROPRIATION BnL.-On Satur-
day last Gov johnson sent back to the Senate
without approval, the bill which recently passed
both houses making appropriations for the civil
expenses of the government. The veto was sent
in on the last day that it could be received, and
an attempt was made to check-mate the Cover
nor by refusing to admit his private secretary.
The message, however, was received aud read.
The Governor objects to the bill because there
has been no provision made to provide reve-
nue. to meet the expenses of the State govern
ment. An attempt will be made to pass the
bill over the Governors veto.

ARRESTED FOR LARCENY.-The case of Alex.
Bell, late State Prison Director, charged with
the grand larceny Of an order given by him in
September last, to l. Us, wormser, for his quar-
terly pay or script as said Director for the
months of january, February and March,
amounting to 1915, was examined before the
Recorder, at Sacramento, last Thursday morn-
ing. After the prosecution had finished giving
evidence, the defence declined to call any wit
nesses, and the case was argued. On Friday
the Recorder decided to hold the defendant to
bail, to await the action of the grand jury of
Sacramento county.

TREATY WITH MExIco.-We give in another
column what purports to be a synopsis of a
treaty recently concluded by Mr.. Forsyth with
the government Of Mexico, taken from Next
can paper. There is no doubt that treaty has
been entered into by which the United States is
to loan money to Mexico; but mortgage upon
the custom house revenue of that republic
would be but poor security for the payment of
the principal, and II is very probable that some
further security Is exacted not stated by the
Mexican paper. In Its present shape, the SEN
ate would scarcely ratify the treaty, unless II
was believed that the loaning of the money
would give us such claim upon Mexico as
would lead TO her annexation at some future day.

Foul MURDER IN NEW YoRK.-Dr. Harvey
Burdell, wealthy dentist of New York. was
found murdered in his room on Bond street
about the first of February, with marks of stran.
gulatiOn around his neck, and fifteen dirk
wounds on his body. The Coroner's investiga.
ton had been going on four days at last ac-
counts, but no testimony of positive character
was ELECTED. Suspicion, however, rests very
strongly upon woman named Cunningham
VINO now claims to have been Burdell's wife by
secret marriage, and also on Mr. Eckel. a
boarder in the house, and supposed paramour
OF Mrs. Cunningham. Burdell owned the bouse
IN which the parties resided, and had leased il
to Mrs. Cunningham, reserving to himself a
suite of rooms for his business purposes. The
Doctor was quite wealthy, but of a quarrelsome
jealous disposition, and had had frequent souah-
bles with Mrs. Cunningham. This womau,s for.
mer reputed husband, George Cunningham, was
distiller by trade, and has resided for some
years in California, whence he returned 10
Brooklyn, and soon after died suddenly. leaving
life policy of ten thousand dollars to his rs'
puted widow. The murder of Dr. Burdell has
created an intense excitement in New York

The Senate resolved itself into Court, on
Thursday last, for the trial of Henry Bates,
late State Treasurer, on the charges preferred
against him by the Assembly. After some pre-
liminary motions, DR.. Bates was arraigned, and
Mr.. Winans read an answer to the charges.
The Court then adjourned to allow the mana
gers on the side of the prosecution to prepare
replication to the answer.
The answer put in by the counsel Of the Treas
urer, is in the nature of demurrer, and asks
that the case may be dismissed on the ground
that proceedings by impeachment are only per-
mitted against certain officers of the State; that
although, Henry Bateswas Treasurer of the State
at the several periods of time referred to in the
articles of impeachment, yet he was not Treas
urer at the time Of his arraignment before the
Senate, having resigned the Office, and the res
ignation been accepted by the Governor, and
that proceedings by impeachment are not per-
mitted or provided for by the Constitution ofthe
State against any Of the ex-officers thereof.
The answer further recites that the criminal
courts Of the State have full Jurisdiction in the
trial and punishment of the misdemeanors al
legged to have been committed; that the defend
ant has been indicted by the grand jury of Sac
ramento on the same charges, and will be duly
tried; and that the Treasurer is not liable to be
tried on the indictments IL the Senate tries him
on the same charges.
The next day, Mr.. McKune, one of the mana
gers of the prosecution, filed replication to the
answer, in which II Is contended that the Assem-
bly, had full power to prefer the articles Of i'm
parchment; that the Senate has sole power to
try the same, and that no act Of the defendant
could operate TO dvest the Senate of jurisdiction
Another paper was also filed by the managers,
to the effect that the defendant was Treasurer
at the time he was impeached before the Senate,
and that If he has been indicted the indictments
we're found subsequent to his impeachment.
The counsel of the defendant then Joined is
sue on the point of law, as TO the jurisdiction OF
the Senate to try the impeachment, and the
Court adjourned until Saturday at IL o'clock
in order to give counsel time to prepare their
arguments.
The argument of counsel on the law points
at issue, were commenced on Saturday, and con-
tnued TO Monday. At our latest accounts, the
Senate had not voted on the question, and it il
doubtful whether they will go on and try him
or leave his case with the criminal courts As
no practical good can result from his conviction
by the Senate, it is probable that body will moi
assume jurisdiction of the case. 1.-THE trial Il
proceeded with, II will consume at least one
and perhaps two or three weeks.

SUDDEN DEATH.-On Sunday evening last, Mr..
William May, while travelling down a hill on
Dunns ranch, near Rock creek, fell down and
Immediately expired. Several men were with
him at the time, who state that he did not OK
hioit particle of life after falling. He was ap-
parently In good health up to the time of his
death. An inquest was held upon the body by
Justice Clark, and on making post mortem ex-
animation, IL was ascertaiued that one of the
principal arteries leading to the heart, had been
broken. Mr.. May was about 20 years old, and
formerly lived in Townsend, Sandusky county,
Ohio, where his parents now reside.

Mrn,nu Aee,esenss.

A Norwegian, known as "the Count" was
killed on Thursday, at Frenchman's Bar, in the
same claims where Davis and others lost their
lives last week. He was working with three
other men, one of whom, saw the bank caviDg,
and cried out to the others. The others ran
back and got out of the way, but the Count in
stead Of running, stopped and looked up at the
caving bank, and stood till the earth struck
him. He was knocked into the water and wash
ed down several hundred feet. When taken up
be was dead. We were not able to learn the
true name of the unfortunate man. He form
erly worked on the South Yuba ditch, and had
only worked one day on the claims where he
lost his life.
A young man named A. ]. Holmes, was kill.
ed at Alpha, on Wednesday last. He was work
Ing In the Bell claims, and seeing q small slide
coming towards him, started to run. His foot
slipped however, and the earth striking him,
he was thrown against boulder with such force
IS to break several ribs. He died during the
night. On making post nortsm examination,
II was found that the liver had been burst by
the broken ribs pressing againstit Mr.. Holmes
was married in Grass Valley last October, and
leaves young wife to mourn his loss.

EMBEzzLEMENT.-G. f. Waldron, late book
keeper for Wells, Fargo & Co., was arrested in
in San Francisco, on Wednesday last, on
charge of embezzling some $4,000 Of the funds
of that firm. He was intending to leave for the
Atlantic States, when the new book-keeper dis
covered the defalcatons, and warrant was i'm
medately issued for his arrest. The firm got
possession of about three-fourths of the amount
embezzled-$3,5O 500 in cash, and personal prop
erty valued at $4,000. The POPULATION has been
going on for two years, and is said to be the re-
suit of extravaganza. He had been in the hab-
II of living In manner altogether too costly
for his income.
