Fatal Shootins-Death or u Faverits
Citizen.

SAkILCus
1t is our melancholy task to record
one Of the most distressing fatal occur
rences that has ever transpired in Car
son. At or about half past three o'clock
on yesterday morning, John Sherwood
received a wound from q revolverin the
hands Of Wm. Bethsrds, night watch
man, Of which he died at half past IL
o'clock yesterday forenoon. The shot
was an accidental one and the circum-
stances which caused it are in substance
as follows: Bethsrds, in his capacity
of peace officer, arrested and caused TO
be locked up in the Jail, a certain AeIi-
can woman Of i'll repute. In conse-
quence of this action, Henry Sherwood,
brother Of the deceased, took 1t upon
himself to call Bethards to an account,
and in the course of an excited onyer-
sation with him, cursed him and alluded
to him in q most shameful manner. Be-
lizards resented this insult by blows, or
an attempt at blows, with his pistol,
and it was in attempting to separate the
parties that John Sherwood received the
wound which caused his death. The
fatal occurrence transpired at the SAGE
rae Saloon. This, we believe, without
going into particulars, is the substance
Of the affair. Bethards and the deceas-
ed were on the most friendly terms, no
doubt the killing was purely accidental.
We are not disposed either to rake
this matter over with q relentless hand,
nor are we disposed to gloss it over with
a few commonplace, lachrymose sen
fences. Henry Sherwood was guilty Of
conduct the most i~nexcusable. Beth
ards had only done his duty by arrest
ing the woman in question. But, abused
and even threatened as he was, Beth
ards, q peace officer, had no right to
draw a weapon in the n in which
he did. The p~rovocation was very great,
but it was only a taunt, and not an as
sault, justifying extreme violence. The
value of the life that is gone attests
this. Perhaps Bethards is enough pun
ished by the distress of mind that this
great calamity has occasioned him. We
are not disposed to seek for or to oun
sci his punishment for an accidental
homicide which is more the fault Of the
brother of the dead man than this. But
we have no right to make public mem
ton of this matter and not talk plainly
of its participants. Almost painful, sad
and heart-rending fatal accident has re-
suited from q brawl which should never
have been allowed to proceed to such
lengths as it did.-Cdrson appeal Of this
morning.

CouaAer RRou1RrD.-Ths following
true and eloquent passage is from a late
speech Of Thaddeus Stevens:
There are periods in the history OF
nations when statesmen can make them
selves names for posterity; but such oe-
casions arc never improved by towards.
In the acquisition Of true fame, courage
Is just As necessary in the civilian as in
the military hero. In the Reformation
there were men engaged as able, and
perhkps moro learned than Martin
Lnther. Aelancthon and others were
ripe scholars and sincere reformers, but
none OF them had Luther's courage.
He alone was willing to 60 where duty
called, though " devils were as thick as
the tiles on the houses" And Luther
Is the great luminAry Of the Reforma-
ton, around whom the others ~revolye
20 satellites and shine only by his light.
We may not aspire to fame. But great
events az the eye Of history on small
objects and magnify their meanness.
Lsf ~, At least, escape that condition.

We suspect that very few people who
live outside the everyday line do not
enjoy, with special emotional satisfac-
ton, the 's~twilights Of l%engthening
days., A man or woman is pretty much
gone down in the world that does not
experience a sense Of personal (physi-
cal or spiritually n Of life, as the
evidence Of Springs near approach is
given in minute-more's Of sunshine
from day to day. If you have any live
illness of hope at all, it will have a
marked manifestation at this period and
on the point indicated. We think that
there is at least SO much 'poetry" in
every mans nature, that he cannot fail
to be glad with a Hail! to open weather?
There is very great reason why we
Neyadans should entertain strong desire
to see the sights of Spring. We expect
that a complete revolution from our
s%low-coach times will commence with
the season. Before bad weather again
settles down upon us-(after it has once
lifted, for the year, we will have our
California travel reduced in time and
convenience one hundred per cent.
From here to Hunters or Gates is one
patch of coach-roughing, from the
mouth Tor near the mouth) of Bonner
to the Summit is another all the rest
easy sliding on q rail-on two rails.
Bless us, this is mighty pleasant to
think on Hoist your curtain Of dark
ness as rapidly as possible, this year,
Father Time: We want to see what the
locomotive can do for US.
Long days; well it's a positive COM
fort, according to our fancy, to have no
more Of night time than is necessary for
sleep. But we would not appreciate
long days if we did not have short
ones-wouldn't appreciate them just on
account Of their length, as they ought
to be taken. The torrid cont fellows
take their regular twelve hours with
thankless c~omplacency, or perspire with
complaining that the sun doesn't give
them longer or shorter doses of his day
light.
Folks connected with an evening pa
per are specially happy to see the al
manac "sbout these times" Of sunset
ting. Everybody that has anything to
do with the institution has his reason
for welcoming length of days literal,
etc. That's what's the matter-what's
set up on this train Of sentimentico-
practical reflection. If we were Valen-
timers, about these times" we'd send
our true love a picture of the sun just
going down behind Mount Davidson
range, with an inscription, writ just
where the Ophir toll-road runs read
ing: "Lengthening Days" Such a
Valentine would be immensely signi-
6cant-well wishing, and couldn't but
receive the appreciation of the Elder
Weller, even Tony.
And to be right down candid: Winter
evenings were q good thing in our old
Eastern homes, with all their accessories
and associations. But in "Washoe,"
in Gold Hill, where hard weather is
productive Of bad going, ETC., it would
be quite as well if the weather Clerk
would move the Panama line Of limita-
tons for sun showers right up on to US.
But he won'tl .

TILE CSSnnTHERN STATES.

c.nsrsl Howard has written a letter
~ secretary Stanton, in which he esti-
..,.s the number Of negroes now alive
u The different Southern States. Com
n.rinp his estimates with the returns Of
the census of 1860, it appears that in
North Carolina, Louisiana and Florida
the number Of blacks remains very nearly
the same. There is a decrease in Geor-
sia Of nearly 6 $4,000, in Virginia Of
~, 900, in South Carolina Of $1,000, in
Missouri of $4,000, in Mississippi Of
1000, and in Arkansas of II, 900. The
only States in which an increase is re-
ported are Texas and Tennessee, the
gain in each being about 1900.
There are no returns from Alabama
or Kentucky. The movement of the
eolored population appears to have been
from the interior to the coast, and north
ward. The emigration from the border
States into the original free States has
been larger than is generally supposed
Missouri, Virginia, Maryland and Arkan'
sas have lost from this cause. They
have been partially compensated, how
ever, BY a struggling immigration from
the southern tier Of States.
Of The immense number of negroes
who fed into our lines, or followed our
armies, . very large proportion hav'
not returned to their homes. The e1
cepsional cases of Texas and Tennessee
are easily explained. During tn. late
years Of the war thousands of negroe
were shipped to Texas by their masters
and there became free; while in Tennes
see the blacks find now the protection
and security Of a loyal Government.
