MELANCHOLY SU1CIDE.-A most painful
case OF suicide came TO our notice Yesterday
evening, that Of a young man lately arrived
in our midst, hoping to find abundance Of
employment, as all strangers tooishly do at
the time of an epidemic, who after few
weeks of bitter disappointment, succumbed
to the Influence of despair, and put period
to his life. lie was printer, born in lii
nois, but last from the city of Dubuque
Iowa, only twenty years of age and possess,
ing lne appearance and good address. On
Tuesday night, in bis boarding house on
Poydras street, he was observed until late
hour engaged in writing, and it is believed
ne went down to the Post Office and put his
letters in the box, and then came back. uns
dressed and went to bed after writing this
statement:

his late hours antil three o'clock yesterday

We are frequently asked "where is
Arizona? and what are its peculiarities,
or advantages z"
1t is in what was called the Messila
Valley, Gadsden Purchase: embraces
about $4,000 square miles, i~nterposed
between New Mexico on the North, and
Sonora and Chihuahua on the South, ex-
tending West to the Colorado river. 1t

Terrible ~COnIlagratiOn,

We are indebted to he Marysville Ex-
press, California, for the following parti-
culars of the fire at Downieville, in that
State /:
At 6 O'Clock, P. NJ, New Years day,
the fire broke out in the St. Charles Ho-
tel, and in anhour and a half Main street,
as far up as the upper Plaza, together
with Bridge street, Commercial street, as
far as the Methodist Church, was a black
ened pile of ruins. The Court House
and dwelling Houses on DurganF Flat were
saved, also the upper part of Main street.
The new Congregational Church and
Fraternity Hall are destroyed; the Sierra
Citizen office and Sierra Democrat office
also destroyed. The Methodist Church
was saved by tearing down two other
buildings; the Catholic Church was on
fire several times but was saved with
difficulty; also the dwelling of Mr.. Lang
ton, which was within one hundred yards
of one hundred kegs of powder belong
ing to Eastman & Co., which exploded.
The explosion was heard fifteen miles
distant, and the air was filled with frag-
ments, and timber, yet, strange to say, no
very serious accident occurred. The loss
is estimated at 100000.

Gov. Richardson.

His Excellency Gov. R1cHARDsoN, paid
our city a flying visit on Tuesday last, re-
manned over night, and left next morning
for Quincy, Ill, where he was going for
his family, with whom he will return
early in the spring.
While in the city he was the guest Of
Capt. |, T. WHYrE who, together with
his excellent lady and family, rendered
the Governors quite brief sojourn very
agreeable.
We regret that our citizens were en-
tirely u%nprepared and his visit at the time
unlocked for. We had been informed
that he had passed below on the other
side of the river several days before.
Our young folks hastily got up a social
''hop''in the evening at which the Cover
nor was present and participated, and all
went off merrily.
W. hope, however, Gov. Richardson
will not consider this our reception cere-
monies. We intend after his return, and
we have pleasant weather, to fix a time
suited to his convenience; invite him and
the people Of the county to u city, and
have a general good time.

morrow, and combining all speeches to
this strict subject.
John Cochrane objected for the simple
reason that it was now too late to insist on
such a course, as the Committee of the
Whole on the state of the Union yester-
day distinctly refused to enforce the rule.
Further proceedings on this subject
were terminated by the House going In
to Committee of the Whole on the print
ing deficiency bill.
Mr.. Burnett was proceeding to discuss
the printing question, when Mr.. Green
wood sportivily raised a point as to whe-
Their Mr.. Burnett was in order, as he was
combining himself to the subject under
consideration.
The Chairman decided that Mr.. Bur-
nett was In order.
MI. Burnett said that the public print
ing has been charged as a source of cor
ruption through which the Treasury is
robbed: that gentlemen who hold the Of
flee Of public printer realize princely for
tunes, and that extensive combinations
are formed by which the printing is con-
trolled. He did not make these charges
nor did he know how far they were true /;
yet they are made through the press of
the country, and hence should be fully in
v~estigated by a special committee having
charge of the subject. 1t was to him a
matter of mystery how the public printer
could be guilty Of corruption-the law
regulating his compensation but it was
nevertheless true that the printing of both
houses enables contractors to realize i'm
mense fortunes. 1t had been advanced
that to favor their election they gave
thousands of dollars, and freely opened
their purses in the Presidential canvass.
Printing had grown enormously for a few
years past. For the thirty-second Con-
gress twas $950,00O; for the thirty-third
it was nearly 81, ZOO, 900, and for the
thirty-fourth $2,330,000. He, among
other citations of extravaganza, said that
$45,44O has been spent for cuts of wood
cocks, mice, squirrels, and other animals,
worthlessly put in the Patent Office Re-
port. He was for stopping this extrava-
giant draft on the Treasury, but for paw.
ing for all work completed, and dispensing
with that not performed.
He moved an amendment to the bill BY
reducing $3.50 900, proposed to be ap-
propriated, to $4,000.
Mr.. Letcher showed that the amount in
the bill was for liabilities incurred by the
last two Congresses. He alluded to the
fact that the publication of ellis Astro.
nomical Expedition cost Sis, 900; that Of
the Pacific Railroad Survey nearly 1888.
900, and Emory's S347, 600. The pub.

would not tempt private publishers. Some
of these books are utterly worthless.

sion on the subject, ard the House ad.

DiflcuIties at DOninhan. x. n.

BY private advices from Doniphan1 we
learn that on last Saturday under Dretense
of making war upon the liquor traffic, the
liquor and other goods of Pat. Laughlin,
and perhaps others, were destroyed by a
Free State mob. Many Democrats and
pro-slavery men had left the place, either
through ~presentfear of violence or to seek
more peaceful homes. Pat. Laughlin, it
will be remembered, is the nan who; in
an atfray ONE two years ago, killed Col
Inns, a leading Free State man of that
town, and this fact, it is thought, had
something to do with the destruction of
his property.
We learn that great excitement and
alarm existed In the town, and that life
and property was not considered safe
We may have received exaggerated sta
tements but we fear the truth is quite
bad enough. The whole Territory has
never, perhaps, been in a more deplo-
rable state.-St. Joseph Gazette.

From Kansas.

The news from Kansas is most unsa-
tisfactory. Bothparties claim the triumph
in the recent election. 1t is said that Gen.
Calhoun VII give certificates to the Dem
ocrats, while it is asserted by the Repu-
blicans that no Democrat shall be permit
ted to take his seat under that election. Its
a~sseverated that by the first and true
count by the President of the Convention
that the Republicans had a decided majo-
rity, and that the final action of that Off
Ger is a fraud so gross that theywill take
up arms against it; and in pursuance of
their resolve, Mr.. Stofer, of Wyandotte,
one of the Democrats elected, was mos
foully and cravenly assassinated. This is
the present state of affairs in Kansas

The following we clip from the WASH
ington Union:
Mr.. Ferguson Of Nebraska introduced
a bill making a grant of alternate Sec
tons Of the public lands to the Territory
of Nebraska, to aid In the construction Of
certain railroads in said Territory and for
other purposes; which was read a first
and second time, and referred to the

History and Progress Of Nebraska

As we are looking for a large influx
of emigration to this Territory in the

of this country, we advise those DESTROYS
of encouraging, to purchase "WooIworth's

the States. 1t contains all information

1-5 elE a a SENATE
Mr.. Bell reported a resolution from the
Committee on Foreign Relations, author
izing the President to suspend the neu-
trality laws at his discretion, not exceed
ing twelve months, and in case the Pre-
sident does so, to communicate the rea-
sons therefor to Congress. The subject
was postponed until the 9th of February.
The consideration of the Army Bill was
resumed.
Mr.. Stuart thought it evident, in view
of the situation of our troops, and the
troubles in Utah, that an increase of the
army was necessary, and he should sup
port the bill reported by the Committee
on Military Affairs.
Mr.. Fessenden, in the course of his re-
marks, denied that rebellion existed In
Kansas. Because some of the dispatches
of government officers so called it, did
not make it so. The organization at
Lawrence is simplya civil organization,
to clear the streets, &C., and did not pur-
pose to resist any body or any thing. 1t
had the entire concurrence of all the CT
tizens. The rebellion was like making
out constructive treason.
MI. Green replied the object of that
organization was resistance to law. 1t
required every nan to support the Topeka
Constitution. Was not that rebellion
against the government?
MI. F. said he did not call it rebellion,
which must be an oyeract, and that was a
mere civil arrangement for their own
convenience He hoped the time would
arrive when Senators could speak on a
great question without being accused of
a desire to promote civil war and all its
attendant calamities. Without taking the
question, the Senate adjourned till Mon
day.
ROUSE.
Mr. Howard called attentionto the fact
that the bill before the Committee of the
Whole onthe state of the Union, provid-
ing for the supply of the deficiency in the
appropriation for printing had not yet
been discussed, but debate had been de-
voted to general subjects. The bill has
grown out of abuses which, if suffered to
continue, viii bankrupt the Treasury; yet
not a single member of the Committee on
Ways and Means or the Printing Com
mittee, has been able to get the floor to
discuss the provisions of the bill in order
TO bring out what has led to the system of
abuses. All ought to unite in order to
give the matter a full investigation. If
they devote this day to the country by
thoroughly probing this subject, their
constituents will forgive them for all the
time heretofore wasted in speaking of
Indians, Mormons, Kansas, and buncomb
generally Laughter. He offered a
resolution for extending debate on til to-

influences and control of the narrow
minded nonresident clique, which has
heretofore governed-be it said to her
shame, and we know to her sorrow-the
