went to Wilson's saloon, and found John Stevens
dead. Justice Cooper was Immediately sent for to
hold an inquest; a jury was summoned, and the
following is the testimony elicicted: Several gen.
tlemen were in the Saloon playing billiards. When
the players seemed to be through, John Mckeh an
and Ziske Gaines proposed to play thoir first game
together and have Jim Tevis count the game for
them. They commenced and had made few
counts, when Tevs said: 1T will take you all
night TO play the game out, and the lights get
ting low, at the same time putting out the lignt t
on the wall next to the table The crowd then
started out and Stevens passed the light on the
post in the middle of the saloon, he blew it out
with his hat. This left the room in darkness.
Tevis asked who blew the light out? Gaines said:
"John Stevens" Tevis then asked Stevens what
the hell he did it for Stevens said: You are
not going to get mad about it. are you, Jim ~ BY
this time both of than were near the dorr. Teyis
then saip: IL never want you to do that again
while am in this saloon.' The witnesses heard
Stevens say: "Qou need not be sticking your fist
in my face; for if you will go out OF doors can
whip you In any yoa may choose, but they could
see no hostile movements on the part of either.
Tevis then started to walk away from Stevens to-
wards the middle of the room; and when he got
about half way along the counter he turned and
approached him again, walking very hurriedly;
and when within about six feet of him the first
was fired, and in a couple of seconds, the second.
Stevens said; Jim, you have killed mel and
started to walk out of DOORS As soon as out, ne

Justice Cooper, and the only additional evidence
adduced was Tevis' statement, in which he said
teat Stevens syid ''draw, and at the same time
putting his hand in his pocket, and that he then
went after his pistol. One of the witnesses heard
the word draw spoken, but could nht tell which
cne spoke it. A jack knife, with blade about
inches long, found in Stevens hand. Tevis

THE PLArFoRM.-The platform for the next
State and Presidential elections has just bee set up
on its pegs in Boston. Those who hope to be sue
cessful at our next State election should hasten to
endorse that portion of it referring to the removal
of the President and the remodeling Of the United
States Supreme Court. They will then be in po-
stion to stand firm upon the balance of the platform
during the Presidential campaign of next year.
Here it is announced by telegraph:
'The Boston Anti-Slavery Society on the night
of the oath instant unanimously resolved that the
safety aud honor of the nation demand the imme-
diate removal of the President, the displacement
of the State Governments of the South and the re-
modelling of the Supreme Court. 1t was also re-
solved that rebel territory should be recognized
State until the Federal Constitution shall guar
antee to every loyal citizen the ballot and education
and to the negro land besides.H
The way to success is here so clearly pointed out

BAD ADvIcE--The Solano Herald, in view of
the treachery of President Johnson and Judge
Field to the majority of Congress, wishes to prac-
tcally revive the Republican organization by res
torng the control of the Union party of this State
to the pioneers and champions of its principles
That would deprive the Union party of many
vote, if it did not defeat it altogether. 1t is not
the old Republican party that has control of this
State, but the Union party formed for the preser-
vation of the Federal Union without regard to par
tiSan politics. They obtained success by making
the Federal Union paramount to every other con-
sideration. How will the party be affected by ma
king partisan aims and objects its first and leading
consideration? The advise so frequently rendered
to the South to accept the situation and make
the best of it, is good, and it should now be pom
dered by some who have not yet been badly
whipped. Restore the party to the control of the
old defnnct politicians and what will be its fate
Besides how is the restoration to be accomplished:
