SuoorryG AFFRAY At ORLEANS FLAT
The Nevada Democrdf says that two shoot
ing affrays occurred at Orleans Flat last
Sunday night. hy whict two men who had
no part in the difii ulties were shot, and
ono il supposed to he mortally wounded.
The first occurred in Julien's saloon, about
ten O'Clock in the evening" man named
Long got Into aquarrel with another named
Doneld.on, and the former In attempting TO
draw pistol from bis coat pocket acciden-
t,lly discharged it, woundng T. ". Cole
man. who was standing behind Long at the
time. The ball took effect in the calf OF the
leg inacting pretty severe flesh wound.
The other affair, which was of a more
serious character, occurred at John Mcguire :
saloon about twelve O'Clock the same night.
1t appears that Mcguire and man named
james Mackay got into a difficulty. Mac
kay caught hold of bottle whith the inten-
ton. II is supposed. of striking Mcguire,
when the latter drew his pistol, but before
getting it round in the range Of Mackay 1t
accidentally went off and wounded a man
named Mat. Rooney. The ball entered his
right side just below the ribs, ranged down
wards through the abdomen, and not yet
been extracted The wound was at fist sup
posed to be mortal but we learn that Roo
ney was somewhat better yesterday morn
ing, and hopes are now entertained of his
recovery. Mcguire Immediately surrender
ed himself into the custody of the officers,
was examined before Justice Caperton on
Monday and was discharged.

Another Tragedy.

A HUSBAND KILLS His Wires PARAMouR.
"A shocking tragedy occurred in Cincin-
natl, on Wednesday night A man named
Richard Mahene, the father. of three chill
dren, was deliberately shot and killed at a
public house. by John w. Clawson, who
was Immediately arrested. The Commercial
thus details the circumstances which led TO
the deed Clawson is young man, not
probably over twenty.four years of age
His troubles seem all to have occrued from
an unfortunate marriage. Six years ago he
led 10 the altar a young and beautiful girl of
Philadelphia. The marriage was opposed
by both his and her friends. The objections
urged were their ages-she not yet fifteen,
while he wanted three years before attaiu..
ing his majority. Despite the warnings and
counsels of friends, they eloped and were
married clandestinely. They came to this
city, and for two years their lives were
happy. but at last the temper invaded the
sanctity Of their home, and the girl-though
a mother, still girl, again eloped, not as a
wife, but as mistress. She was soon for.
saken by her seducer, and writing to her
husband, who still cherished for his erring
wife an unaltered affection, a penitent letter,
he again received her with all her imperfec.
tions. Two more years rolled away, she
performing in the interim the duties Of a
wife and mother in their fullest sense, the
dark spas on their marriage existence was
almost fogot, when fiend more arch than
the first, insratiated himself into their house
hold, and succeeded>in alluring her from-;he
path Of honor. This was the man whom
the husband killed. For time stolen in
terviews were had, but of late the twain
have lived together publicly as man and
mistress.

Who iS RaSnansihle 2

ssH
The Republicans are SO much alarmed at
the effect of the adoption of the two years.
amendmeutin Massachusetts is having up1
on the Western States, that they deny the
responsibility of their party, and attem pit to
throw The blame upon the Democrats and
Americans; who, they say secretly COM
bined 10 carry the amendment, and thus,
infiict injury upon the Republican party.
Now the facts of the case will show precise
ly where the rApssability rests. The
amendment was adopted by two Legisla-
lures, containing large majority of Repub-
lican members. The few Democratic men,
bers opposed it. II is certain that at this
stage the Democrats and Americans did not
combine TO disgrace and damags the Re-
publican party Of Massachusetts That
party had the subject in its own hands, and
the power 10 dispose of it as was thought
proper. They decided 10 adopt the amend
ment, and submit it 10 .he people for ratifi-
cation. And here it may be remarked, that
the representatives of Republican constitu-
encies doubtless ascerained what they
were prepared to adopt before the question
was submitted.
The result shows that they did. The
amendment was adopted by Republican
votes. There might be some appearance
OF plausibiIiiy in the charge that it was
adopted by combination between Demo-
Gratis and Americaaait those parties COM
posed majority oifvbters in the State but
the Republican vote numbers two TO one
against all opposition. In 1856 the vote
stcod FaEmoST, 100000; FILLMORE, 20,
900; BUCHANAN, $4,000 With this material,
how was it possible for The Democrats and
Americans to carry the amendment in oppo.
sition TO the wishes of the Republicans
Will those who make the charge demon.
strate how minority can control an elec-
ton? The discovery would make the for.
tune Of its author.
The responsibility of.adopting this pro.
scriplive amendment rests with the Repub.
licans and americans. 1t is too late now
for the former party TO deny its agency in
the matter. Power and responsibility are in.
separable. The Democracy of Massachu-
sets are the xsnenfes of prescription, and
they opposed this amendment-by their rep.
resentativess, bg their greases, and IN their
votes. Had ii'been defeated, the ,Republi-
cans Of. The West woah doubtless have ex-
claimed 10 their German followers, ..'behold
how the Republicans of Massachusetts hate
prescription 2" But as it was adopted by
republican votes, we can truthfully exclaim,
"behold how. Republican Massachusetts
loves prescription ?"-Eschrnge Paper.

Offices and Men TO Fill Them.

The season Of the year is coming again
when the thousand little offices OF the State
are to be filled by a new election, and, as
usual, there will no doubt be plenty of aspi.
rants for each petty post. II is very mis-
taken notion that all of these places will
make their incumbenis wealthy and honor:
able. OF the army of office hunters in the
country at least one-balf ruin themselves in
character, health or fortune, and become
either blackguards, topers or penniless va.
grants. When men begin the search of office
Ivy neglecting their private business-for-
getting their families, except 10 make them
an object of charity as the highway beggars
show their sores-and brawls Justify and
strongly in the bar-rooms and on the public
highways, they are going downwards very
fast, and soon sink all that is manly in their
nature.
We say, ard with pride loo, that men of
this character in our district are scarce. We
have the good fortune. of possessing men
who resist the temptations 10 form unfor-
tunate connections and unfortunate habits
in public stations, and nine retire from office
respected and pure while one becomes de-
spised.
Our representatives in the last session of
the Legislature were men of undoubted abil-
ity and character; circumstances greatly 10
be regarded, especially in view OF the de-
iective material of which the Legislature has
been more or less composed Tor some years
back
OAKSs and JACKSON are thoroughly with
the Democratic party in its battle with intol.
erance and prescription, and in its stern de-
fence OF constitutional principles against the
assaults OF fanaticism, ambition and inter-
est. The heresies which bewilder the weak,
and seduce into desperate courses those who
are unprincipled, will have, as they have
had, able and determined enemies.
The importance of democratic majority
in the next Legislature Is evident, and hence
Cancellation and firm union of the four
counties upon candidates is highly expedi-
ent and necessary. Subjects of legislation
of great interest are 10 be considered at the
next session, in which fnndamentslSpTinci.
pies are involved, and Senator to repre-.
sent this State IN the Congress of the United
States is 10 be elected.

AN IMPORTANT LAND oFFIcE--DEeison.-
The Commissioner OF The General Land Of.
fee, has made the following decision upon
a. case which came to .6e Land office re-
Gently, for adjudication
The case stated is that Of qualified citi-.
zen, who settled upon piece OF unoccu-
pied land, erected a dwelljngiand occupied
it, bat Sefore completing bis: right, aud
while in the occupsecy of his claim, was
arrested by legal PROCESS, under Territorial
law; charging him:with high crime, and,.
in default of bail, was imprisoned to wait
his trial, which did not'take place till. after
the public offerings of the lands to which
the claim belongs. Under this state of facts
the question arises, is his right forfeited by
his arrest and incaTceration,. and the land
open to settlement, or does he retain the
right acquixed prior to IFS arrest?.'
The Commissioflsir decides that, in the
case stated, the inchoaie right 10 the land
so settled and occupied prior to the arrest,
would nor thereby become forfeited, but
would remain id.obeyance to await thete-
termination of the. criminal court against
him; The Commissioners further deciies
thataif his .iuchoat right was valid up to he
time of his ares, it is not forfeited by that
act p and that no advantage can be taken Of
the;claimant by reason Of his arrest and i'm:
prisonment and if the public sale of lands
within which his claim lies, shah take
place previous 10 his discharge or trial, it
.EToald not be proper TO offer az publiceale,
the tract so claimed. The arrest of the party
does not destroy, but suspends only his right
unt9 9he is restored to liberty. In the event of
theParty's aonviction9 an infamous crime
other. questions arise, upon which the com.
does not feel called, in the pres.
ent'ihslance, 10 make decision.
