A FRAcAs.-Th New York Herald's Wash
ington telegraphic correspondent says: al
underctand that quite scene occurred on
board one of our bay steamers, a few days
since. Capt Buchanan, of the Navy, met
Mr.. Williams, of Maryland, on the deck of
the boat and saluted him, but the latter de-
clined to return it. Capt B. afterwards ap-
preached Mr.. w. and asked him if he OBJ
served the salutation. YES replied Mr..
Williams, but l don't recognize your right
to speak to me- at the same time applying
an epithet to the Captain. Capt. Buchanan
was preparing for battle, but was knocked
down before he had time to act offsnsively."

AWFUL TO This is the
heading of a paragraph in the Placerville
Tri-Weekly Argus, giving an account of how
young lady was taken i'll at ball near
there, how doctor was called in. how he
said something was the matter with her,
how her friends denied it, because they said,
she was unmarried; how, at last, there ar
rived little stranger, while the patient was
being conveyed in a wagon to her home
The reputed father of the infant recently

The SAN FRANCISCO HERALD AND THE
CAPE CLAIM I'm the San Francisco Herald
of Monday, under the old head of Topics
Of the Day." is rather speculative article
on quartz mines which begins thus: "Some
idea of the richness of some of our quartz
mines may be formed from the following
statement furnished the Butte Record, by
Mr.. J. Faulkner, Treasurer of the Cape
Mining Company" Appended to the above
il Mr.. Faulkner's exhibit, and various re-
marks and comparisons concerning quartz
veins. We are surprised that one so gener-
ally informed upon the "topics of the day"
as is the editor of the Herald, should have
psrpetrated such an error as to classify the
Cape Claim as quartz lead. Itis--or was
river claim, Mr.. Herald, and the biggest
one ever seen or heard of in the State at

DARING THEFT-On yesterday, says the
California Express of Wednesday, lady
went into the Dry Goods store of Kirby s.
Byrne, for the purpose of shopping. Laying
her port-monnie on the counter, she turned
around to look at some article, and, upon
turning again to pick up the port-monni@,
she found it was missing. Three Cinnamon
were standing near at the time that she
turned away, and, their disappearance being
simultaneous with that of the purse, it was
evident that they had taken it The purse
contained about $50 in gold and other coin.
The lady was not able to describe the three
Cinnamon to the police, nor were the clerks
in the store, so that their apprehension is
next to impossible.

Printers Reducing the Prices.

The Age Of Tuesday says that the Sacra-
mento typographical Society met on Mon
day and passed resolution reducing print
ers' wages 25 per cent. We are unable to
devise why printers or other mechanics form
societies of mutual protection, unless it is to
be enabled to resist successfully just the
very kind of circumstances and combina-
tions before which the printers of Sacra-
themselves to bend. If members of the
Union are faithless; If those who compose
the societies have not enough of native vir-
tue TO hold true to one another, then dis
band altogether. What great good is going
to result from this self-imposed reduction of
wages Wherein is the printer to be bene-
fitted by it! How many more actual print
ers will obtain employment at the present
rate of wages than heretofore Not one
Publishers are just as able to pay one dol
lar per thousand ems now, as they were two
years ago. and all the necessaries of life cost
just as much as they did then.
= But San Francisco and Sacramento are
overrun with printers out of employment"
say the advocates of reduction, and we have
very little doubt that such is the case. How
many of those out of employment are to be
set to work in consequence of the low wages'
Will not those already employed be retained,
and will not the Unions if they are true to
themselves, still lend helping hand to their
unemployed members And we would ask,
will not the 25 per cent. reduction of wages,
make a consequent reduction in the general
fund of the Union ? When the printers
abandoned their old price, they acknow-
ledged too great dependence on the pub
fishers caprice, and made virtual surren-
der of all advantages which well organized
Union would have ensured to them. 1t is
never too late to do good however, and since
the rates have been reduced, let the typos
provide against any reductions in future.

DISTRICT COURT PROCEEDINGS.
Hon. C. E. WILLIAMS, Presiding.

WEDNESDAY, Nov. IL.
The Court met Mt 10 o'clock and proceed
ei to business. The following persons were
empannelled as a jury:
Geo. g. Sumner, Thos. H. Morrow, George
Given, Peter Fessler, Henry French, John
Gray, Leonard Bedow, s. V. Warner, c. 7.
Toppin, Geo. Adair, Geo. Gray, John Yount.
Tho case of the people vs.. Clipfcll. indict'
ed for murder, was called James G. How
ard ESQ, conducted the prosecution, and
Col. E. D. Baker and J. NJ. Burt, Esq, the
defence.
The defendant is charged with having
committed the crime of murder in killing
one John Darien, at Coleman's store, on
Butte Creek, sometime last Spring. He was
tried on the same charge at the last term of
Court, but the jury failed to agree We
were unable to attend the Court during the
trial yesterday, and are consequently un-
prepared to furnish the evidence in detail.
The facts in the case are in substance, as fol-
lows:
Clipfell and others were at Coleman's
store, and after drinking pretty freely, q
quarrel arose between Clipfell and another
man, in the course of which he (ClipfelD
drew knife and was striking at his adver-
sary when Darien (the deceased) stepped in
as mediator and was stabbed, in consequence
of which he shortly died.
The evidence closed about noon. The ar
guments of counsel were heard in the after
noon, and about o'clock the case was given
to the jury. In the course OF his speech for
the defense, Col. Baker made a very elo-
queut and touching appeal to the jury such
an appeal as he of all men in California is
best able to make.
The following persons were brought into
court to plead to the various charges against
them:
John Coleman plead not
guilty.
Refugio Escarciga plea.
Charles Pabst and Theresa Kaser-mur-
der poisoning plea.
Franklin Cox--manslaughter plea
William Wallace -murder--same plea.
Anthony Ford - manslaughter - same
plea.
On motion of p. II. Harris Esq Louis
Pickett and Frederick Pickett were admit
ted to citizenship.
The jury in the Clippell case had failed to
agree last night previous to our going to
press.
The case of Thurman, charged with arson,
will probably be tried to-day. We under
stand that Col. Baker has been retained for
the defense in this case, and Thurman being
one of the Colonel's old soldiers in the Mexi-
can war, he will probably make q strong ef-
| fort in his behalf.

Belle, winning both heats 1.-TWO miles and re.

some disappointment, and seemed loath to

favorable terms The latter carried consi-
derable more weight than the winning nag.

The Poison Case.

1t seems we were incorrect in stating that
Mr.. Brooks was the person from whom the
pills which were administered to Mrs. Blu
menthal were obtained The following yer.
sion of the matter from Mr.. Brooks himself
is doubtless correct:
EDITOR OF THE BUTTE RECORD:
Dear SIR You will allow me to make
the following statement in regard to the
poisoning of Mrs Blumenthal, of which you
make mention in your paper of Wednesday,
The attending physician of Mrs. Blumen-
thai was, at the time, not DR. OBrien, but
Dr. Kirchner, who wrote the prescription in
question. The said prescription was handed
by Kirchner to DR.. Sudor, who acted as
druggist in the store of Brooks g. Sudor.
DR.. Sudor mixed the pills without my knowl
edge Of his taking cOrrOsire su6limdte in
stead of calomel. and he (Sudor) gave the
answer to DR.. O'Brien that sublimate was
about the same as cdi0mel.
From the above statement you will see
that am in no way connected with this sad
affair, and l hope you will correct your ac-
count by leaving out my name, and relating
the facts as they really were.
Very respectfully.
