MURDER AND SUICIDE.-John Wiffenbach,
German, and an old and wealthy citizen
of Siskiyou county, living near Ireks, CON-
mitted suicide, Jan. 4sh by blowing the top
of his head off with shotgun loaded with
revolver balls. His wife was found in bed
dead, having been sho. through the head with
revolver. Niffanbach sent one of his children
TO neighbor, in the morning, with book in
which he had written thai his wife had killed
herself The child stated that its mother was
dead. and that the father had gone in the room
10 kill himself. 1t appears that three shots
had been fired at tie wife, only ore of which
had taken effect, the other two passing through
the side of the house above her. The evidence
before the Coroners Jury went TO establish the
fact that the man had killed lis wife and then
blew his own brains out. The Yreka Journal
says both husband and wife were members
OF the NJ. Z. Church, and much esteemed and
respected By the community; but, during the
last two or three years, both showed symptoms
of insanity. Wffenbach left the following
message written in q pass book: Charles

Talk on Division.

The principal parties 10 favor of the division
sf this county. ard who are making the present
move, are = few wealthy gran,holders in and
adjoining the village of Chico. The main
object Of the division is not for the good of the
great majority Of the honest farm owners,
tillers of the soil and general laborers; it is
for the good and to increase the present great.
wealth, which amounts to sristocracy, Of the
very few in and adjacent TO that metropolis
We think the farmers six and eight miles dis
tant from Chico know this as well as we do.
The proposition to divide the county is TO build
up the town of Chico. that the few may govern
the many. The renters on large grants, 10
addition to the heavy rents they pay their
landlords, must be taxed more heavily on their
personal property. and the owners Of small
farms and email lots of stock must "pungle
down. to organize the new county-Court-
house, Jail, officers, books and records, a county
in6rmary, and other heavy expenses too numer-
ous to mention. Add this to the debt of about
el50000 they carry with them, and the sum
total will be not far from 100000. add to
this the object of the Chico capitalists to tax
the people to build new roads, provided they
sfe successful. We understand an appropria-
ton Of $25,000 is offered to certain parties.
when the new county should be made, if they
will favor the division. If such is done, it will
help lay mortgages on farms and sell them out,
and the promise may not be fulfilled. However,
should the new county of Chico be made, the
town.of Chico could vote any tax upon farmers
and laborers outside they wished. We don't
say the assessors could be purchased to assess
these capitalists light, and farmers for full
value; but we do say that it is highly import
ant that Rock Creek, Dayton and Pine Creek
oppose the division, and show themselves
independent of the Chico clique.

TURN OFF THE GAs-The Sacramento
Union touches the present Legislature "on the
raw" 10 an editorial with the above heading.
The Union says it seems necessary 10 inform
the assembled wisdom" that they are neither
the Congress of the United States nor members
Of partisan Convention. The Legislature
meets but once in two years, and it should
devote its session to the legitimate business
of legislatpg for the good of the State, instead
of occupying the time in discussing with few
''unterrifed Democrats" who have accidentally
obtained seats 10 the Legislature, questions
which have already been gloriously settled by
the logic of events. II these unhappy Demo
Gratis are determined to "wale" after the fashion
OF Petroleum V. Nasby over the decentralization
10 their ranks, it is certainly no part Of the
duty of Union members to countenance them
by discussing dead issues" or live ones that
belong only to Congress aud the National
Executive. The Union says: 1.-Two or three
amendments to the Constitution of the United
States will undoubtedly be proposed by Con
gress in time for the consideration of the
Legislature now in session. The amendment
suggested by President johnson, substituting
the number of legal voters for the whole num-
Der Of population. as the basis of representation
has encountered no opposition within the ranks
Of the Union party, and will pass Congress by
twothirds vote. We shall then see how far
the Democrats in our Legislature indorse the
policy of the President Another of the
proposed amendments will probably be a con-
stitutional guarantee of the war debt of the
Union and reputation Of the war debt Of the
rebellion-a severe test of Democratic good
faith in supporting the Government. With
such touchstones of loyalty in reserve, the
majority can afford TO let national affairs alone
for the present, and if the minority will persist
in dragging in such matters, to let them talk
without meeting q response, which only helps
them TO waste the time of the Legislature"

The Sacramento Bee says there are IN the
State ninety millions of acres adapted to agri-
culture. OF which over six millions are under
fence. During The year 1865 twelve million
bushels of wheat were produced, eighteen
millions of barley, two million gallons of wine
from thirty millions of vines. There were in
the State two million sheep, from which the
wool clip was ten millions of pounds.
