thus headed in the DAILY DEMOCRAT of Sun

of the teacher alluded to in that article, that
the girl mentioned is only in her fifteenth
year, and that she never met the individual
who was cowhided. In the letter intercepted
by the teacher, and which was the last one
received by the girl, he begs that as they
have never met, she will grant him one in

time specified for the meeting, he was siezed
as before related, and whipped by two per-

! Man ATTEMPTS TO Cur OFF HIS HEAD
WITH a CLEAvER.-A most singular and at the
some time horrible story was related to us
this morning by Lieut. Spear. of the Tenth
Police District. 1t seems that a German,
named Conrad Lutz, resides in house in
Gays Court, in the Seventeenth Ward Lutz
is blessed with "A wife and several children
Mrs Lutz supports her household by selling
meat etc, in market For some days past
something has been preying upon the mind
of Lutz. The green eyed monster had taken
possession of him, Last evening Mrs Luz
and family went out to spend the evening,
leaving Lutz to take care of the house. Up.
on returning, about o'clock. Mrs. Lutz was
| Mortified to see the panels of the door broken
| in. and the floors of the house smeared with
blood. There were no evidences of fierce
struggle having taken place. The cellar was
next examined. The chopping block wa,
| found covered with gore, and bloody clea-
yer was laying beside it, The bloody tracks
also led to the upper portion of the house In
one OF the rooms was found Lutz, presenting
frightful spectacle. He was lying on the
floor, insensible from the loss of blood The
back part of his head and neck had been bad
ly lacerated, aud he is supposed to have
placed his head upon the block in the cellar
and attempted to cut it off with cleaver
The theory is arrived at by the fact that no
outcry was heard in the neighborhood and
it is very natural TO suppose that had such a
bloody conflict, as the signs indicated, taken
place, there would have been sufficient noise
to attract the attention Of somebody. Lutz
is not very badly injured. He says that he
was hurt by falling down stairs, but this
theory is discredited. There was some ex-
element in the Immediate neighborhood OF
the occurrence, occasioned by report tia, a
horrible murder had been committed -PhL

Union Of the Democraey.

The proposition to heal the division in the
Democratic party of this state, made by us
a few DAYS ago, are met with fierce opposi-
ton by the Sacramento Standard and Nj rys.
willie Express We are not at all surprised
ihat the journals mentioned should have
opposed it. 1t is quite evident that they are
afraid of the Douglas element inside the Ad
ministration organization. They are afraid
that, united with the element outside the Ad
organization, Douglas delegates might b,
elected to the Charleston Convention from
this State. Not having dared to denounc,
Judge Douglas during the pendency Of elee
tions. theyore exceedingly anxious to operate
against him in the most etfectual way to aid
in preventing his nomination at Charleston
The Douglas men generally throughout th,
State must see through the motive which
actuates these sheets They are for Dickin-
son for the nomination, and they Intend to
exclude every Douglas vote that they can
in the State, at the primary elections. Will
the friends of Douglas inside the Administra
ton organization submit to this arrangement
We think not To show conclusively that
the Object stated is the real motive of the
Standard, it is only necessary to observe that
it expresses itself as very willing for full
communion Of the Douglas and Administra.
tion forces, after the expiration Of teelve
months. After the election for delegates to
the Charleston Convention, it will be all
right, but, while there is chance for the
election of Douglas delegates to that body
the Standard is opposed to anything of the
kind. There is no shadow of reasoning t,
sustain such a positien. If the Douglas mer
are worthy to stand side 10y side with tn,
Administration men in twelve months hence
they are worthy no,o. If they are not Dem
ocrats they are neyer worthy. But the Stand
ard, if we mistake not, admits that it will
be all right to receive them into the dear
administration "fold," after the expiration of
twelve months
As to the Express, we understand very
well what that sheet is driving at. 1t knows
that its only chance for any sort of recogni-
tion as party organ in this county depends
upon the continued division of the Democratic
party. Supported by wing of the Demoe-
raey which openly bolted the regular Demo-
cratic Convention of Yuba county, it is fear.
full that a re union of the party will throw it,
(the Express) out of water, and leave it high
and dry upon the shores of no partyism. 1t
is altogether a selfish matter with it, to keep
the party divided With us, we have the
regular organization with us at any rate,
and, as far as any selfinterest is concerned.
are perfectly careless as to whether two sep
arate organizations are kept up or not. We
desire the reunion of the party for national
purposes, and not local. We are perfectly
content to represent the regular Democratic
organization of Yuba county.

Iu regard to the report that John a. Wash
ington had became insolvent, and hence
could execute no valid deed for the Mount
Vernon Estate, Mrs N. G. Banding, Vice
Regent for California, says in card pub
| lished in the Bulletin:
| have sought all the information which
could be gathered here and the result justi-
fies me in confidently saying that the story is
| unfounded-both in the fact stated and the
inference drawn from it, Gentlemen in this
city, who know Mr. Washington well, ana
have seen him but recently, assure me that
they do not believe the statement
But even if it were true, the inference that
no valid deed can be made, Is, ! am advised
bv legal gentlemen, familiar with the law of
Virginia totally erroneous.
Mr. Washington having now received the
purchase money, or a large pant of it, will
be held a Trustee for the Association, and
the courts will carry his agreement into eff
feet by decree directing the execution of
deed to them. No question could arise be-
tween has creditors and the Association, un-
less there were liens on the estate, by iudg-
ment or otherwise, at the time of the execu-
ton of the contract. But this cannot be so,
for the negotiation for the purchase, the in
quiry into the title, and the execution of the
contract cf sale were entrusted to legal gen
rlemen of the highest standing in Virginia.
1t is certain that they would not have per.
mitted one dollar to have been paid to Mr.
Washington until all the existing liens on
the estate had been removed

The TERROR OF HUMAN BLoop-SuEp.
DINc.--The immortal power of human blood
shed by accident or design, is well illustra-
fed in the following incident, given in let
ter, by Inspector" TO The New York

The tragedy at Washington has been in
all voices to-day. Beyond all the other fea-
lures of this case is that terrible truth tha,
where man of fine intellect participates in
such a scene, '''lis the survivor dies.n Ii
must be so-dismissed such scenes cannot
be-the red ray will be in all the light Of
the future. An engineer on one Of our
great railways, had, without fault of his
own, run the tremendous power under his
control over a human being. The body was
removed from the rail, death had done its
dread work; examination was made of the
circumstances, and the engineer acquitted,
the homicide was not in him. Yet, little
whils afterward, the engineer came to the
Superintendent and asked TO resign his
place, he could not endure it any longer.
Why do you go? said the Superintendent.

All, said he, must go. Every night |
