HANGING BY Wholesale IN TExkS.-The
Navarro Express of the 9th October says:
On Tuesday morning, the I'd inst, four re-
spectacle citizens of this county, ell men,
bers of our county court, were found hung
in the public square of this town. Various
are the conjectures as to the causes Of this
unfortunate affair. We presume, however,
that it was owing to the fact that they were
members of the cosnty court. In saying
this, we must here enter our declaration
that we knew of no conduct of theirs which
deserved such severe penalty. It is
thoSght that the presence of the Chief JUS
tice cO1h have saved them from this fate.
As we will hereafter speak more Of this
matter, we Withhold comments until further
developments shall put us in possession of
all the facts connected with this melancholy
affair.

SAD AccIDENT.-Joseph Hunt and Cyrus
Murphy were terribly injured at Telegraph
Hill, Tuolumne county, Nov. lst, by the
premature discharge of blast. The acci-
dent was occasioned by attempting to force
down cartridge which was too largo for
the hole that had been drilled. The pow
dor was lgnited by the friction produced.
Murphy was terribly cut about the face,
and will entirely lose his right eye, and
both OF the unfortunate men narrowly es-
capped with their lives.

ARIzoNA.-A correspondent Of the Times
says the freigh. on goods from San Francis
co to Tuscon, Arizona, via the Pacific, Col
orado river, and Fort Yuma, including
loading and unloading, storage; drayage,
etc., is about rs cents per pound. The road
from here to Fort Yuma is very heavy for
te ans. The distance is about two hundred
and eighty miles From here to Fort lib
erty on the California Gulf, in the State Of
Sonora, and about ninety miles South of Al
ton. is near TIE same distance. The road,
however, is q good one. We're that port in
the possession Of the United States, the
freight to this place would not be over or
10 cents per pound. 1t is to the California
Gulf that this section of the country must
ultimately look as an outlet Of it's prodnc-
tions as well as the cheapest route by which
to receive its supplies.

A Summary ExAMpLE.-The L.ncha Plana

ASuMMARY ExAMPLE.-The Lsncha Plana
Dispatch says quite commotion was created
among the Celestials OF that place last week.
A company Of Chinese engaged in mining IN
the river had refused to pay their licenses, and
crossed the river to evade the demands of the
Wi-cee" man. Collectors Redhead and Gist,
ayailing themselves of their privilege, thereupon
disposed of the claim, valued at $1,000, to a
company of Americans, for some forty dollars
Then these Mongolian rascals came into town,
clamoring for aid, supplicating for mercy, some
of them fercely denouncing the Collectors,
others lamenting and crying bitterly. But the
"ii-cee" men were inexora6le, and the Johns
went back "wiser and better men," These
Chinese are always seeking by cavil and craft
to evade the officers, and we are therefore glad
that summary example has been made.

made, it was found that Andrews pants had
been carried out of the house and eleven dol
lars taken therefrom. The thief then returned
probably thinking that there might be richer
booty inside, when he knocked over the stool,
causing the alarm.

FORGERY Detected AND ExPosED.-Undert this
heading the veracious editors of several OBJ.
scure papers, proclaim to the world that the
editor of the HERALD is "Jack Ketch,"
"demon," midnight incendiary," an sun.
scrupulous eavesdropper," 'naked deformity"
"dsturber of the peace of innocent families,"a
convicted forger," who, on the whole, de-
serves 3to be consigned to the darkest cell of
penitentiary dungeon for the remainder of his
life." This is pretty well, though unequal to
the obscene outpourings against the HERALD of
"little villain" Brick, who discovered the
"sympathies of youth" in the "elbows of the
Mincio." 1t beats Aminidab Sleek, who de-
troys the force of his billingsgate by the prosi-
ness of his diction. II far surpasses, ALSO the
diatribes of the scribes of the Albany Regency,
who are too mercenary and mean to be gene
rous even of abuse
The crime which one Of these popguns
in Washington attributes to the HERALD,
is that of imposing his voluminous Euro
pean and Washington correspondence upon
the public as genuine" whereas strong
suspicious are entertained that "there is not
shadow of doubt that it is manufac-
tured in the HERALD Office itself" With
out analysing the Hibernicisms Of our plucky
nal the HERALD must be Members of Con.
gress rise in their seats and wonder how the
HERALD reporters, of whom we have five and
sometimes six in that dty, managed to obtain
such exclusive and accurate knowledge of Sc.
crets which they imagined to be locked up in
their own breasts. Politicians abroad-in Lon
don, Paris and Berlin-marvel that the infor-
nation they obtain from the New YORK HERALD,
written from their own cities, conveys to
them, frequently, State mysteries, concern
ing which they otherwise could have had no
cognizance. 1t is notorious that the cor
respondence from abroad, of this paper,
not seldom contains the very news, by one
steamer, which is confirmed by telegraph, as
" very latest" by the next. The detailed accu-
racy of our statements is almost invariably cor
rect no matter from what part of the world it
may have been obtained.
That is, if it is obtained from the world at
all! Who knows but the HERALD may have
employed, for the general benefit of civiliza-
ton, whole battalion of Satanic volunteers,
who, circling the earth with greater speed than
that of Puck, bring in daily, from Pekin, Japan,
the Feejee Islands, st. Petersburg, Rome,
Naples, Copenhagen and Rio Janeiro, bulletins
which the less enterprising presses of the world
only get weeks later? Or, how if the Atlantic
telegraph cable is already laid, with wires con-
Meeting from every great city in the world,
into the very heart of our sanctum. We do
not much blame our petty neighbor in Wash
ington for what he calls ''brutal attack" and
" the coarsest conceivable abuse" for he knows
no better His eyes can no more follow the
fight Of the HERALD, than those of an owl
could that of an eagle.

NEW REGULATION WITH REGARD TO POsTAaE
on NEWSPAPERS. has been our custom for
some fifteen years past to print upon the
wrappers of the HERALD sent to our sub
scribers notification of the time when their
subscriptions will expire, in order that they
may have an opportunity of renting the
amount in time to preserve the continuity in
the receipt of their papers. This custom
was a convenience to our subscribers; but it
appears that the new Postmaster General Mr..
Holt, has discovered that this is in contraven-
ton Of the Post Office law, and declares that
all papers having such notice printed on the
wrapper-though open to every one to read
shall in future be charged letter postage.
This obstacle to the free distribution of the
newspaper is in strong contrast to the system
pursued in France and other European coun-
tries. In France the newspapers are not re-
stricted in this fashion, either for home or
foreign circulation, and we are not surprised,
therefore, to find the Independence Beige COM
menting upon the Postmaster Generals order
as curious instance of the manner in which
the liberty of the press is restricted in this free
country.
The prohibition of Mr.. Holt In this respect is
matter of very little Importance to us, for
we shall only be compelled to send circular
to each subscriber at the small cost of penny
each; but il strikes us that we should not be
behind France and other monarchical ma.
tons in the matter of liberality in the circula-
ton of newspapers, at this day the most i'm
portant mental pabulum of the people.
