OUTRAGE on THE SoUrH CAROLINA RAILROAD
MARROW ESCAPE OF Mr.. STEPHEN MAssETT.-On
Saturday night, about halfpast eight, the express
train was passing from BraDchvile to Augusta, and
when about forty miles from this city pistol hall
vas fired by some one from the road, passing close
by the face of Mr.. Masseti, who was awakened by
The report and who, had he not been leaning back
in the ear, would have been instantly killed. Mr..
|. W. Rice, of Baltimore, struck by piece OF
stick that was the same time hurled through the
window. To show that the plan was premeditated,
on the night previous (Fridsy) in, very the
very same spot, loud report of a gun, or pistol,
startled the occupants of the crowded car, the ball
entering the window, shGtering The glass, and Great
ing the greatest CONSERVATION ard very nearly kills
ing Mr.. John X. Sears, of Baltimore Ii is thought
hat the dsstardy perpetrators of this bighhanded
outrage, are some discharged employees OF the road

The Commerce and Navigation Of GuF
Country


The last annual report of our Government cons
taiDs sOmeSVery interesting statistics with regard to
the commerce and navigation of the United States.
It shows that Young America is advancing far more
rapidly in the arts aud sciences which burden the
oceans the seas the gulfs the bays, the lakes and
the rivers Of the world with trade, Iran any of the
older nations on the globe. There are now more
miles of railroad in this country than in all the
world beside, end the day may not be very distant
when tonnage will equal that Of half the nations
of the globe, There is no telling what our tonnage
will be an hundred years hence, when railroads
form q complete network over the Union, aud all
of rivers pour into the sea the untold surplus Of
our plantations, farms, and our manufactures,
to seek foreign markets.
In 1928 the total tOnnsge of the United States
was La, 39l. Ten years thereafter it had risen
to two Millions and in 1S4S it was over three mil
lions II is now more than FIVE millions, and has
doubled itself in the last nine years At this rate
of increase, what may we expect it TO be at the
close Of the present century, when our population
will be more than an hundred millions, and our
farms, manufactures, ETC., increased in the same
proportion We doubt not that it will reach fig.
that will astOund the nations of the EARTH and

States EUidence.-John Edwards, who
is on trial before the Court of Sessions,
Sacramento, for the murder of police
man Chapman, on the testimony of one
Harmon, who turned States evidence,
was permitted, on Saturday, to make a
statement, in which he charges Harmon
with having given him directions how to
proceed in the robbery of the clothing
store. Harmon helped into the room
and directed him how to obtain the mon
ey. AT the conclusion of these partic-
uIars, Edwards said ii am accused of
numbering Chapman; but, did not do
it; that man there-facing and pointing
directly to Harmon; who accuses me OF
the murder, is the man who killed Mr.
Chapman. and | can produce the pistol

THE LAND SLIDE-From a gentle
man who has visited the land slide near
Buena Vista Ranch, about which 81,
much talk has originated, we learn that
some ten or twelve inches of water are
still running out of the ground. A much
larger stream burst out of the hill into a
tunnel claim at first, but it subsided in
a few hours to few inches. A great
quantity of quicksand is discharged with
the water making the stream apr ear
considerable larger than it would if the
water were clear. The stratum of quick
sand running out with the water has
caused caving in of a large surface OF
of the superintendent earth, but the
damage to the ranches in that vicinity
is represented as trifing.
Two years ago. we think it was, a
similar stream burst from the hills in the
same vicinity, but it was not accompani
ed by any other unusual phenomena.

pretended facts, even if admitted, would

matters than bandying words with it af-
ter our object has been attained. We
have learned no new lessons in it's de
pravity from it's recent exhibitions. and
and DO not fatter ourselves that it will
be any less ready to defame those it dis
likes hereafter. We shall only hold
ourselves ready to denounce its false
hoods when the magnitude of them Will

Whereabouts, Captain McClory, Of our

noon, in pursuit of the robber, John B.
Brouilette, who was connected with the
attempt to rob Nichols mule train, and
who recently escaped from Colusa. We
learn that, on Saturday last. he hired a
conveyance at Cacheville, Yolo county,
to enable man to take him to W. Ali
sons, at the Sink of the Putah. He was
tracked to Alison's, and it was there as

In ERRoR.-We were in error in
stating last week that tho State Tele-

mento and Marysville, and contem-
plates a monopoly of telegraphing be-

pany could succeed, all other lines in

OFFICIAL observation-disclosures OtT-
RAuE.-On the last day of last month,
the Assembly voted to employ an official
Reporter at pay of s14 per day it
is scarcely to be credited, but such is
the fact. The transparency ofthe thing
is most perfect. A new paper has been
started at the capital which is to be the
organ of the dominant party. In the
first number, which made its appearance
on the Goth ult. we were informed that
Mr.. Upton had been employed as Re-
porter. Two days afterwards the COM
passionate Assembly of California vot ed
to employ an official Reporter and Sc
lected Mr.. Upton. The act amounts to
exactly this and no more-it pays the
Reporter for the Standard fourteen dol
lars day! In other words, the money
of the State that all parties have paid
into the Treasury is taken out and paid
for the benefit and support of Demo-
cratic paper, that fears for reading and
appreciating patronage among the peo-
pie. Thus the whole country is made
to contribute to the maintenance of a
loo ofoco organ at the State capital.
This is not the first time the same dis
graceful transaction has been known in
The State. While the old State J,urnal
was in existence thousands of dollars
were voted in likemanner to its support
Year after year came an appropriation
for an official Reporter whose produc-
tions were not read by a hundred indi-
viduals out of Sacramento. The paper
never had circulation worth mention
ing and for that reason an appropriation
was the more necessary in order to keep
the sickly thing in existence. A public
debt of more than four millions has been
saddled upon the State by the party in
power. Its interest has been allowed
to accumulate. while thousands upon
thousands have been annually wasted
upon party, whose object and aim has
been to prove these burthens just and
proper, to perpe'uate the party in pow.
er, and to continue the misrule and plum
del.
