Forgery and Amalgamntion.


On Monday night prominent and
conspicuous parsonage disappeared on the
train going north. Next morning the in
quiry was made, 'Where is Prof. Hamil-
toni" No one could answer. His credi-
tors began to suspect something wrong.
He had charge of the large and prosperous
Freedmen's School, and had made a fair
reputation for candor, but what could be
the cause of his sudden disappearance from
the streets of Corinth. He had sold on the
same night he left, several drafts on the
ub-Treasury of the United States, and
the holders of those drafts began to COM
pare notes, and found that the Professor
had sold them forged drafts on the Gov
ernment. He sold one draft to Messrs.
Cathey & Fleming, amounting to near 500;
one to Mr.. Fl. F. Hill of $50; Messrs. E.
Rubel & Co., $50, and Mr.. James, $50. He
had purchased the bank checks in the city.
and filled them up 30 well that they readily
pissed. This was bold piece of work.
The citizens, white and black, had sub
scribed about $50 to purchase q lot for the
freedmen's school, which all thought had
heed paid over for the lot, but on investi-
the hands of Prof. Hamilton. Besides
these gross violations of honesty, he had
contracted a number of debts, which he
left unpaid.
TThe Strike on the M. & o. Railroad de-
tanned the forger at jackson, Tenn, where
the cars were not permitted to pass, and
thus his whereabouts was discovered. In
his flight he had not forgotten to carry
with him handsome mulattO girl, who had
been going to school to him, by the name OF
Asia. So he forged drafts on the United
States and ran of with all Asia. Heavy
transactions. fle
Not being able to go north OF Jackson,
he took the cars for Grand Junction, aim
ing for Memphis, but while he was trans
ferring his baggage, preparatory to putting
1t on the Memphis train, he was arrested.
The Professor was brought to Corinth,
and Thursday Lieutenant Moore caused an
investigation of the charge OF embezzling
Government funds, before military court,
and the accused was committed or placed
under guard at the military quarters uhGit
full Investigation shall be had.

PROPOSED New RoAD.-Messrs. Stratton
and Stoddard, with seven others of Trinity
county, have just concluded a preliminary
survey of the proposed new road over Trinity
mountain, and are satisfied that the route
selected is in every respect the best one to
be found. The road will commence at the
town of Indian Greek, in Trinity county,
and run from thence up the North Fork of
Indian Creek, and crossing over the summit
of Trinity mountain, will run down along
the divide between Cottonwood and Eagle
Creek, terminating at Ludwig's place, South
Fork district. Another branch of the road
will run by way of Ludwig's old bridge
across Cottonwood and intersect the old
Shasta and Red Bluff road at point sew
eral miles below Jackson's place. The road
is to be constructed by a joint stock COM
pany, and will be kept as a regular toll road.
1t is estimated that the distance from Indian
Greek village to South Fork mines by this
route will be just Is miles.

Miners MEETING.-Pursuant to notice, a
miners meeting was held at Ellsworth )
Mill, South Fork district, on Wednesday
last The meeting was organized by elect
ing w. K. Conger chairman, and Mr.. Gar
field secretary. The chairman having de-
clared the meeting ready for the transaction
of business, Messrs. Henry Rothwell and =
Stoddard were placed in nomination for the
Office of District Recorder. On vote being
taken Stoddard was declared elected. An
amendment was proposed to the mining laws
of the district, requiring claim holders to
work heavier assessments In order to hold
their ground. After an exciting and pro.
tracted debate the amendment was voted
down.
An amendment was adopted requiring
claim. holders to define the limits of their
ground within 60 days, and in case of failure
to do so, said claims are to be considered
abandoned. Another amendment wac pass
ed declaring that the running of tunnel or
sinking of shaft twenty five feet on any
claim in the district gave the owner of such
claim perpetual title.
There being no further business to
transact the meeting adjourned, We under.
stand another meeting will be held at an

HOME AGAIN.-Senator Conness arrived
at San Francisco, from Washington on
Saturday last. He was welcomed to the
city by throng of friends who were wait.
ing to receive him, and in the evening was
serenaded at the Occidental Hotel. On all
the great issues that have come upon the
country during his term of Office, Senator
Conness has shown himself an able, eloquent.
and spirited representative, and we feel sure
that no man can show purer Union record
than he. Therefore it is meet that the peo.
pie should welcome him home as true and
honorable public servant.

their house at what is known as Unionviile,
South Fork district, and were soon wrapped
in peaceful slumbers. During the night a
heavy gale commenced blowing, which in
creased to such violence as to break off the
top of a pine tree standing near the house,
which came crashing through the roof and
fell within a few feet of the foot of the bed
in which the two men were sleeping. When
daylight appeared things were found deci-
dedly mixed. Crockery, tinware, books,
papers, shingles, butter, boards, lard, flour,
glassware, etc., were scattered around pro
miscuously. A narrow escape.

Waking Up.

The Copperheads of the country have
walked up considerably since the Connecticut
election, and many of these deluded lndlvld
uals really imagine that their party Is des-
tined to gain control of the Government at
no distant period. The California Demo
cratic State Central Committee has issued
call for State Convention, and distributed
circulars to the faithful in every county IN
the State, instructing them to organize and
prepare for another rally at the polls. IN the
hope that their leaders may again get pos
session of the flesh pots of Egypt, and feast
upon the emoluments of the Offices from which
they have been so long excluded. Even here
in loyal Shasta the fossilized adherents Of
Democracy are showing some evidence OF
vitality, and are ready and anxious to take
advantage of anything that may occur which
can possibly be turned to account. Their
policy in this county is to wait until after
the meeting of the Union Convention before
taking any definite action. So long as the
Union party remains undivided they know
they have no chance OF success, and their
sole hope is that serious division may occur
in its ranks, in which event they will en-
deavor to slip in and elect candidates for
certain Offices.
We imagine their hopes in this respect
will not be fulfilled. The Union men of
Shasta possess too much sense and regard
vide them or seriously jeopardize the unity
and stability of their organization. So far
as Shasta county is concerned, there neither
will nor can be any division of the Union
party, and Democrats might as we'll dismiss
all hopes of controlling the affairs of the
county. Democratic officials have had their
day here.
