the interest, if the principal cannot be
paid in currency, Again Gen. Butler
asks eff these bonds are payable in gold
why are they selling at from l0S to liz
in currency, when gold is worth 145?"
We are inclined to think that it is a very
strained construction of the Contract law,
that holds the government to the implied
promises Of n contract whose lcritten
terms contain nosuch specification as the
payment Of these bonds in coin. These
bonds can be purchased to-day from the
holders for 81, II in currency, yet when
government redeems them, it will have to
pay gold dollars or 81 rs in currency. If
the money were on hand it would be
heavy speculation for the Treasury-the
secretly buying up of these bonds at ll2.
But it is not possible to raise that amount
of money, and the people-the very vul-
gus know it. And in spite Of the thun-
derings of Wade, Greedy and other econ
omists, the proposition to pay off the
bonds in greenbacks will be sustained
aud demanded by the people.

Experiments still continue at Mendon
with small canon of the new model
the most terrible arm that has yet been
invented. What is its mechanism? No
one knows except the artillery officers,
who direct the operations. The ammu.
milton etc, of these little jokers is carried
in leather valises the working ofthem is
performed out of sight. All that can be
known is, that at the distance Of 1000
metres (about 1000 yards) they deluge
a target 6 feet high by 40 inches in
width, with perfect shower OF bullets.
At this distance the balls pierce an iron
plate the thickness of haitian inch. Each
canon can be fired 20 times in a minute,
and two men are sufficient to carry the
gun and everything connected with it. 1t
is Unanswered with prodigious facility
judging by the result. Prussia is great
ly exercised concerning this invention
Prussan officers are endeavoring to dis
cover the secret. The police has arrest
eight ofthem on two different occasions.
They come in the guise of common work
men, with gray cotton pants and blue
blouses. But they find In the confines
other laborers who appear to be waiting
the hour for commencing work. These
are the secret agents of the police-Al-
saciens, in order if the Prussians happen
to speak privately the agents may know
ever word that passes. An accquaint-
ance springs up directly-the guns are
spoken ola little is found out. For
complete details, they adjourn to niegh-
boring eating house. There, are found
wine bibbers who are huntinga quarrel
gcadarmes who arrest everybody, and
the jig is up. The prussians are then
brought before the project of police, in
terrogated sharply and thoroughly, and
set at liberty after having promised to
return Immediately to their own country.
If this is authentic, will Bismark, who is
judge of such things, think the trick
well played?

pair of the Republic. The gallant young
State, California, has wheeled into line /;
Ohio and others have done SO, and it we
remain true to our principles, and adj

We are glad to sec that the San Fran

MENDocINo TRAGEDY.-A Ukiah
City correspondent of the Auburn Stars
and Stripes thus speaks of the Coats
Frost tragedy, that occurred at Little
Lake, Mendocino county, on election day:
Frank Duncan (brolher-in-law toFrost)
made his brags "that he could whip any
Abolitionist in Little Lake or any Black
Republican Of the Coates name !" so yes
terday afternoon Frank Duncan and three
of the Frost brothers and the Coates
brothers met again at the store in Little
Lake, when Wesley Coates said TO Frank
Duncan, 81 understand that you have
been reporting that you can whip me, and
if you have want you to take it back"
Duncan said that he did say SO, and new
Ell took anything back, when Wesley
Coates asked him out Of the house to set
tie their difficulty, and began to strip
himself for the fray; Duncan rushed
on Coates, pistol in hond, and broke the
pistol over his head. Elisha Frost was
about to join in the ARRAY when Abra-
ham Coates shot him in the forehead,
dead. 1t is reported that Frost was
armed with two revolvers, and when he
fell the two remaining brothers Of Frost,
with two relatives, whose names | have
been unable to get, then commenced. an
indiscriminate fire on the Goats brothers
and relatives. Duncan and Wesley
Coates in the meantime were struggling,
and while thus engaged Duncan was bad
ly cut in number Of places, and Wesley
Coates was shot by one of the Frost broth
ers. The following are the names of the
persons killed: Thomas Coates, Wesley
Coates, Henry Coates, Albert Coates and
Elisha Frost. The wounded are Albert
Coates, Jr. Adam Coates, James Coates
and Frank Duncan, After these men
had all fallen, Martin and Isaac Frost
went to work and reloaded their revol'
vers, and we're then going to finish kill
ing the remainder of the Coates relatives
whom they had not already killed, ex'
hibiting more GOODNESS, nerve and de-
termination in their deadly and awful
work than is often seen. BY the inter
ference of other parties the further work
of death and carnage was stopped.
The two Frost brothers made good
their escape, but 1 understand that the
officers are in pursuit. The Goats fami
ly are we'll respected and have many
warm friends. As to the Frost family
1 am wholly unacquainted with any o.
them, and know nothing of their socia
standing in their community.

JOKE on "BUs" DRIvER.-Yester-
day was R-fine day, but a little warm
withal; so warm, in fact. that worthy
bus" driver was overcome to su, ! a
degree, that he concluded to lie down
for a while on one Of the inside seats OF
his vehicle. This resolution taken, he
put 1t into complete execution and went
last asleep. In this condition he was
observed by wRggish gentlemnnicOn-
nected with the bus" busiues5 W 10
Proceeded quietly to remove the horses
from the "bus" and lead them into the
yard OF the Mcclure House, where they
were tied. r1trrI rr-z-EeF..5
After while our friend, the driver,
arose from his sleep and discovered the
loss Of the quadrupeds. He was in an
unpleasant frame OF mind, dreading the
wrath of his employers as visions of
lost horses tioated before his mind. A
little search on his part, however, re-
vealed the missing animals standinR In
the yard, and then the full torrent of
Jehu'S wrath broke forth. 1t
does not become tis here to relate
how that wrath was expressed. The
language Iised WsIs hardly fit for ears
polite. Indeed il would have shocked
those OF moderate sensibilities beyond
endurance. But all was to no purpose.
Even the offer OF the worthy drivers
whole fortune was insufficient TO reveal
the author OF his torment, and he was
faln to put up with what II WAS beyond
his power to remedy. 1t was well that
he had to remain in Ignorance. other
wise the consequences might have been
something dreadful.
