House OF Commons JUDGED BY AN AMERI-
cAN.-The editor of the New York Times,
Mr. Raymond, is in England, and thus writes
concerning the House of Commons:
What strikes an American most, in CON
trastng or comparing the proceedings of the
House of Commons with those of our House
of Representatives, is the business.like air
and m1nner of the former. Whenever
question comes up it is debated. The speeches
made are upon the subject under discussion,
and they are alternately from friends and
opponents of the measure in question. One
advocates it, and is answered by another,
who, in turn, is replied to; and so the dis
cussion proceeds to its close. In our House,
as every body knows, such a debate is almost
unknown. We have either long speeches,
made for constituent and for political effect,
or else personal passages, which degenerate
into wrdngles. These are serious defects in
a Legislative body, and ought to be rcmedied.
1t seems to me that the writing desks, the
hour rule, and the Commi tee of the Whole
on the State of the Union, have contributed
very largely to the existing state of things.

PARTICULARS OF THE ATrEMPTED MURDER AT
VALLEJo.-The Bulletin has obtained from
a brotherin-law of Mrs Josephine Sanders
the woman who was nearly murdered by
her father, at Vallejo, on the 18th last, the
following particulars:
Is appears that Peter Gunnison, the father,
is an old man, much addicted to liquor but
it is a mistake that he has ever been in the
State Prison. Since his daughter has been
married he has evinced jealous disposition
because she manifested more respect and love
for her husband, than for him; and became
so unbearable to the family for this reason
that he was required to get another place to
live in. About three weeks ago, he came to
his daughters house, armed with pistol,
and declared he would shoot her. She ran
away, and had him arrested, and carried be-
fore justice. AS no one could suppose he
really meant to iniure his own child, he was
released on a promise not to molcst the family
of his son-in law further.
On the 18th he visited his daughter home
and asked her to get him something to eat
AS she had no Tread cooked, she told him to
hold the baby while she went and purchased
some he took the child and laid it on the
bed and as she passed by him to go out the
door, he seized her by the throat and threw
her on a table, and tried to choke her to
death. She struggled, and the two fell upon
the floor. There he planted his knee upon
her breast, and holding her throat firmly
clutched with his left hand drew a knife or
razor from his pocket and cut her throat
His left hand being pressed on her throat
and thus in the way, he drew the blade across
the two sides of her neck alternately but
did not sever her windpipe In struggling
to protect her throat, the woman had her
hands horribly mutiated.
The monster then left her Neighbors
came running in, and found her overed with
blood. One lady bandaged her neck with a
large cloth, tightly, and partly impeded the
hemorrhage Doctors soon arrived, and the
wounded blood vessels we're taken up, and
the bleeding stopped. Now she is declared
out of danger Gunnison is in the Martinez

az The EnglishPublshers' Circular gives

E5B The EnglishPubls Circular gives
IA valuable summary of the law of copyrights.
1t says;
"The present laws respecting the duration
of copyright in the various European nations
are as follows: In England the copyright
lasts forty-two years absolutely, for TIE au-
thor's life, and seven years after his death.
In Greece and in Sardinia it only lasts fifteen
years from the date of publication In the
Roman States it extends to twelve years af.
ter the authors DEATH In Russia it lasts for
twenty-five years after the authors death.
and for ten years more, if a new edition has
been published in the last FIVE years of the
first term. In Belgium and Sweden it lasts
twenty years after the authors death, with
a provision, in Sweden, that, should the
representative of the author neglect to con.
tinue the publication, the copyright falls to
the State. In France it lasts for the benefit
of children or widow (that is to the widow,
if she be what is called in France, en- cosa,au
raaute de biems-a peculiar arrangement in
French marriage settlements, which estab-
fishes between husband and wife perfect
community in each others property thirty
years after the authors death, but to other
representatives only ten years. In Spain it
Iists MY years, reckoning from J1e uuthOr 5
death. In Austria, Bavaria, Portugal, Prus-
sia, Saxony, the Kingdom of the Two Sici-
lies, Wurtemberg, and the States OF the Ger
man Confederation, it lasts thirty years from
the authors death, to all his heirs and assigns
without distinction; and in Denmark, till so
recently as 1888, it lasted an indefinite peri
cd, provided the work was kept in print !;
now, however, it is restricted to period of
thirty years after the authors death, with
the provision that republication by Others is
permitted when five years have elapsed in
which work has been out of print. In the
United States, copyrights last for twenty
eight years, and an extension of fourteen
years is granted to the author, if he lives, or
to his widow, children, and grandchildren"

SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD. Recently
we noticed, says the Philadelphia Inquirer,
the singular state of affairs in which the
Southern Pacific Railroad is involved. On
the 2ith of August, there will be a general
meeting of the stockholders at Louisville,
Kentucky; and if we may Judge from the
quantity of stock sold in some of the North
ern markets. there will be some representa-
tives from this quarter. 1t is contended that
the alleged forfeiture of the charter has Ia.
ken place under an &c post fdcto law. On
this point there can be no question. Still the
lawyers have the matter in hand, and with
their skill may keep the whole quarrel re
specting the sale of the road in an unsettled
state for some months to come. The trouble
is, that though the road may have been seized
without color of law even, the company can
not borrow any money while the security
they offer is under seizure. The purchasers
under the deed of trust are in no better posi-
ton. They cannot raise money on dispu-
ted title, and individually are responsible
for debts contracted, should they lose their
cause. In this condition of things a com
promise has been suggested, by which it is
possible to relieve the road of the embarrass-
ment surrounding its progress. The proba-
bilities are, that new organization will
be made out of the curious elements which
form the two parties to the suit, and that
thus some new functions may be exerted that
will tend to crafty the shareholders, renew
confidence in Texan law, and possibly lead
towards the completion of the road at an
earlier period than has been supposed proba
BILE. One thing is certain, that such a course
of litigation is calculated to injure all the
railroad property in Texas

A PHILOSOPHER AT NEvADA.-The Nevada
Journal, of Friday, has the following very
noticeable item:
We were yesterday called by Mr.. John
Pattison, the telegraphic operator of this city,
to witness most satisfactory experiments in
working telegraphic line in water without
insulation, the discovery of the mode of do.
ing which Mr.. Pattison claims for himself
p The secret is in the way of arranging the
batteries. Mr.. Pattison has between twenty
four and five hundred feet of wire laid in the
creek back of the telegraph office, which,
when worked with an instrument, seems to
transmit a current of electricity with the
same force and effect as a wire perfectly in
sulated, and in the most favorable conditions
Should this discovery prove as important as
the experiments we saw seem to foreshadow,
the results will be astonishing. A common
wire will answer the purpose of the most ex-
pensive insulated cable for submarine and
sub-aqueous communications. Mr.. Pattison
is about to make an application for a patent
for his discovery.

SELLING LIotoR TO INDIANs.-The Colum-
bia Courier thus discourses on the above
named subject:
There is no term of infamy in any Ian
gEage too opprobrious to apply to the infa-
nous reptiles who in defiance of law of pub
lie opinion and even common prudence, will
be guilty of such suicidal thing The oper-
alton of alcohol upon the brain of the Indian
is entirely of a different character than upon
the white man 1t makes the Indian insane
perfectly mad! He is altogether as inca
pable of reasoning, under its influence, as is
the most rabid patient of Bedlam. The CON
sequence is, no calculation can be made for
his acts-what lie may do, or what he may
be guilty of. That he will MAIN and muir
der, we often see and know but that is not
all Many of them live in our midst, sleep
ing in sheds and shanties in our very town.
They associate more or less with portions of
our population, and in that association con-
tract antpathies for real or imaginary
wrongs. which often generates vindictive
feelings. We well know what the revenge
of an Indian is. 1t is with them the most
powerful and the most uncomfortable i'm
pulse to which their barbarous natures are
subject. 1t is not to he paciied without
cruel, inexorable, wild and implacable in
diligence. They viii hesitate at no means or
measures that they imagine will tend to
wreak their wrong on him who inflicted
them If this when SOBER how much more

ky madness? =? Here We are then, with our
wives and our little ones, our homes and our
property, all helplessly exposed to an ele-
ment in our midst more dangerous by far
than an over.driven locomotive What is to
hinder their applying the incendiary torch,
as well as the knife, should the idea enter
into their crazed imaginations in these sea-
sons of madness2 And yet we have those
