| ODD-FKLLowsHrP AND ITS DoINGs.-In the last
number of the New Age we find the closing pro-
ceedings of the late session of the Grand Lodge
of the United States. California figures credit
ably in the reports of the Grand officers. Re-
ferring to the contributions by the Order to the
Southern Relief Fund, the Age says:
'i So far as California is concerned, while we
regret the small amount of our contribution,
yet, when compared with those of other States,
SURPRISING US in numbers and resources, we
have reason to feel proud at what we have done.
The total amount contributed, as reported, was
Sl2, 1876. Since that time, California has for
warded the sum of 5 ,3l3, and with $25 on hand
to be sent, will make the sum total Sl3, ,533 of
which California contributes S3,965 SO, being
SO 35 more than Pennsylvania New York, Ohio,
Massachusetts, Wisconsin and Nebraska COM
bined and S563 so more than one-fourth of the
entire amount, U. S. Grand Lodge included"
In connection with this California has contrib
uted more than one-fourth the amount required
to complete the Wildey monument, Baltimore.
and the Brotherhood here have also given Sc, 500
during the past year towards a monument to p
G. NJ, Samuel II. Parker, to be erected at San
Francisco.
The report of the Grand Secretary shows that
tnere are Z,olS Lodges IN the United States, with
2l3, 900 members. The receipts for last year
were $l,76O,l3s 81. During the year the sum
of S6so,oOo was paid out for the relief of breth-
rem, widowed families, educating the orphans
and burying the dead The above figures will
be much increased when full reports received
from all Grand Lodges The Age exhorts the
0dd-Fellows of the Pacific coast to " faint not
in well-dong, but buckle on the armor of Odd
Fellowship with renewed vigor, and persevere in
the good work of benevolence and charity, GER

BoDY FoUsn-CoRoNERs IxoUEsr.-The body
of Charles Schade, who had been missing from
his home at Douglas City since the 18th of last
month, was found in Trinity river, short dis
tance below the mouth of Browns creek, on the
Sd of November, by Manuel Innes, of Steiner
Flat. Justice A. r. Earl summoned George ".
Ward, Charles Dixon, ]. W. Jones, J. N. Estes,
Al. N. Brown and Charles Hippler to sit as cor
oner's jury. The testimony is in keeping with
the statements of his disappearance heretofore
published, further than that he had gone to the
spot where he was found, some four miles below
Douglas City, before killing himself, which he
did by placing the muzze of a Colts revolver to
his head and blowing his brains out, and the
jury returned verdict accordingly. powder
flask, box of caps and two pistol balls were found
upon his person.
Schade was buried in the WeaTervillc ceme-
terry on Tuesday, under the direction of the TIN
ity Rifles, the burial service being read by Rev.
Mr.. Pinneo. After the service at the grave, a
squad detailed for the purpose, and under COM
mand of Lieut. Bowie, fired salute of three
volleys over the restng-place of their late COM
rade. Schade 8 most intimate friends can arrive
at NO satisfactory conclusion to the cause or
causes which led him to take his own life. Ja-
cob Paulsen has charge of his effects, and will
forward them to his sister, as requested in the
letter he left behind.
Coon NEws:-Mr. Dusky, the punctual and OBJ
ligiug carrier of the Weaverville and Humboldt
mail, brought the gratifying intelligence on
Wednesday night, of the death of Indian
Frank" the murderer of Col. Stockton and
party. AS similar repor. gained circulation
some weeks ago, we deem it proper to state now
that there is no doubt that the numbering red
skin has gone to his final hunting ground, as
Mr.. Dusky saw the body at Hoopa Valley, where
it had been delivered up to the authorities.
;" Frank " was killed by the party of friendly
Indians started in pursuit of him by Major Bow
man several months ago. The sixteen-shooter
and other arms obtained at the time Col Stock
ton was murdered were recovered. The killing
of this Indian will be great satisfaction to the
people living on the borders Of Trinity, Hum
boldt and Klamath counties. We have fresh
hope now that Indian troubles in this section of
the State are at an end.

AMHDDNENTs TO THE CALIFORNIA CoHsfIfU-
TIoN.-The proposed amendments to the State
Constitution, which were submitted to and pass
ed by the last session Of the Legislature, include
the following points lst-Doing away with the
special Judicial Election for Supreme Judge, and
electing that officer at the general election. I'd,
Changing the election of District Judges in
the same manner 3d-Changing the election of
County Judges in the same manner, and provid-
ing that the Legislature may have power to sep
arate the Offices of Probate and County Judge.
| 4th-Changing the time of election Of Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction so as to conform
with the foregoing changes. 5th-Making the
payment of State poll tax prerequisite to the
right to vote. 6th-Prohibits the Legislature
from making appropriations for longer period
than two years. In order to become part OF
the organic law, these amendments m ust receive
the approval of majority Of the incoming Leg
islature, and be ratified by the people at the next
general election. Concerning these amendments,
the Sacramento Union says "a AS to the first
four of these amendments there is but one opin-
ion believe In all political parties that they
should be adopted into the Constitution. The
special Judicial Election, including that for
School Superintendent has failed in every par
ticular to meet the expectations of its former ad-
vocates. These Judicial Elections have proved
to be as much political in their whole manage
ment the elections for Governor, Congressman
or President. They have resulted in nothing but
expense to the State and waste of time, and
should be abolished. We can see no reason why
the Democratic majority in the Assembly should
hesitate to adopt these four amendments and
pass them over to the people for final action at
the Presidential election in 1868. As to the 5th,
it is not likely to pass muster with party that
has always defended the utmost license in vot-
ing, and will probably be defeated. The sixth
and last ought to have better fate 1t will put
lasting curb grasping and soulless corpora
tions, which are becoming the ogre of the State.
