that dangled from her oelt, and altogether.
she presented fine and attractive appear
ance. She commenced the exercises by
reading an "inspirationar' poem, from Rob-
ert Burns. delivered through the medium of
Miss Lizzie Daten, and chose for her subject,
as she stated, by request, the s.Resurrection
of the dead" The subject was discussed
with considerable degree of ability, and l
opine that in an open discussion she would
prove a match for many of our more ortho-
dox divines.
SENATOR MORRILL,.
l observe, in the last issue of the CHRoN-
IcLE, short paragraph which. unless ex-
planned, is liable to create wrong impression
in regard to the motives of this gentleman.
The paragraph referred to states ''tl at "Sen-
ator Morrill, moved the indefinite postpone
ment of the Bill to reduce the salary of the
County Judge of Calaveras. when it came up
in the Senate" thus leaving the inference to
be drawn that that gentleman is opposed
to the reduction of salaries, when in reality
the reverse is the fact. The bill which the
Senator moved to indefinitely postpone, was
the one introduced in the Assembly early in
the session, by Mr.. Mentzell. and which it
was supposed had been finally disposed of
by a previous motion to indefinitely post
pone; but by some mistake or negligence of
the Secretary of the Senate it was exhumed
and again brought before the Senate, long
after the time for its passage. in order to be
operative, had expired. consequently there
was no way to get rid of it except to move
its indefinite postponement.
l make this statement and call your atten-
ton to the fact as SIMPLE act of justice to
Senator Morrill,, for consider him to be one
ofthe best representatives Calaveras has ever
had and I do not wish to see him placed
upon the record ia false light even by mis-
take. ! ~ ! Nc.

MONITOR CAMP, February 4th, 1868.
EDITOR CALAvERAs CHRoNIcLE:-I have
before me copy of your paper of the lst of
February. containing the account of the
murder of my late lamented husband. In
stating your version of the cause which led
to it, you have made a base, slanderous and
willful assertion. The murderer. Fry, alias
Fitzgerald. alias Fox, was induced, last
April, in consideration of the sum of $120,
to be paid him, to steal away my daughter
to serve the purpose of villain, whose suit
Grey had denied, on account of her age and
the bad character he bore. 10 be revenged
on Grey for foiling him, this party bounded
on the murderer, until he finally wrought
on him to commit the crime. 1 had not
seen the villain Fry, or Fox, for over nine
years and half, until he came one day to
ask permission to see the girl, as he had
neglected her so long. 1 told him if he was
really anxious for her welfare he might see
her occasionally. and if he had house of
respectability, she might divide her time be-
tween the two families. This is all shall
say in justification of Grey conduct, as there
are many who know the result of his for
bearance. Such a report as yours in this
issue might be well in keeping with parcel
of scandal loving women, but scarcely beft-
ting the dignity of the CALAvERAs CHRoSI-
GLE. 1 would therefore advise you before
maligning the character of nun whose
every breath was honor, and before aspersing
the virtue of a mere child, to pause, and pub
lish nothing which might bring such terrible
consequences.
Your obedient servant,
LUCY GREY.

New FEE BILL.--The new Fee Bill report
ed by the Assembly Committee on Fees and
Salaries, of which Mr.. Angney is chairman,
provides for uniform fees throughout the
State, and, it is estimated. will cut down the
present rate about fifty per cent; and though
the fees left are ample, it will end the ten.
twenty-five and fifty thousand dollar Offices.
-hadependsnt
We don't know what the Independent
means by "ample;" but if that Bill becomes
law we wouldn't trust a Justice of the
Peace or Constable for a "bit's" worth of
peanuts and take his fees for his whole term
for security. 1t might work we'll enough in
the large cities, but its passage would be the
signing of the lingering death warrant of
country officials.

Although the above communication is not
Unable, as it corrects an error which we un-
intentionally made, we give it a place in our
columns. That we may have been wrong
in attributing the murder to the cause we
did, is very probable but that we were ac-
tuated by an intention to injure, or by un-
kind feelings towards any of the parties to
the sad affair, is simply absurd. They are
all absolute strangers to US. Not supposing
that brutal murder could be committed
without some exciting cause, we endeavored
to elicit information in regard to the facts in
the case. The version of the affair which
we published last week was furnished US by
person whom we thought to be thoroughly
acquainted with the circumstances. The
name of our informant, which will be furn-
ished any one interested, is also a sufficient
guarantee that he was not actuated by i'm.
proper motives. In placing before the pub
lie what we were led to believe were facts,
we had no intention of maligning the dead
or aspersing the living, and we are extremely
sorry that our remarks were construed as
rejecting on either. 1t is not in keeping
with our character as journalist, so to do.
In further vindication of ourself. we would
remind Mrs. Grey that we made no asser-
tions in regard to the daughter. We said
that "reports were in circulation" Those
rumors may have emanated from Fox, put
forth as pretext for committing a bloody
deed, and in extenuation for it. While we
protest our entire innocence of any malevo-
lence or desire to wound the feelings Of those
who have been 30 terribly bereaved, we are
convinced that We were misinformed. will

Ny AcquaIntanee with PIanchette.

From Lippfncott'S Magazine.
There is an innocent little mystery
which goes upon three legs and is call
ed Planchette.n Who invented it
nobody can tell, and opinion is divided
as to whether 1t is or is not humbug.
One is very sure that it moves with
alarming readiness. The heart-shaped
bit of wood sways to every motion: the
castors turn with the slightest breath OF
influence: the pencil-point marks lines
and words on the smallest provocatton.
It Is natural for us TO think that mo-
ton has always an intelligent cause,
and that so light an object as this will
be dependent upon something more
real than magnetism.
Now, have had my own experience
with Planchette, and have reached my
own CONCLUSIONS, agreeing doubtless
with those of other observers and ex-
perimenters. To me, just at present,
there is little mystery in the matter,
but in It's place has arisen a strong In
terest. For verify believe that this Gu
rious toy, II rightly handled, will in.
form us of certain laws which the
turning tables" were too clumsy to
tell. And as all truth is best in the
concrete, I have decided to write down
exactly what 1 think, and how came
to my conclusions, asking no pardon OF
anybody but myself for the frequent
use OF the personal pronoun.
So far as / am aware, the earliest mem
ton of Planchette is in an anonymous
novel, Who Breaks, Pays, republished
among the TauchintZ volumes in 1851
as a standard book. The description is
accurate though short. The little heart
shaped table, with its two pentagraph
wheels and its pencil-leg, is just like
our own fsmiliar friend. 1t writes
| unow'' and Lillian" and adds Cross
at the end of the name-a thing, let me
say, which shakes my faith in the au-
thor's Knowledge, since I never knew
Planchette to make a cross, for the sim
pie reason that Il cannot take up as
pencil point, and must always Write
running hand.
The later Literature of the subject con-
sists of two articles, one entitled Plan
Ghetto, !" and the other f'A Three-Legged
iImposter," and both Tepublished In
Epery Saturday during the past winter.
The first of these two accounts ptqueCi
NV curiosity, and as it contained an
engraving of the proper character 70
work from, very soon had possession
of ample means for experiment. rms
| original Planchette lies before me as
write; just as IL often lies to me and
others. 1t is precisely eight inches long
by seven wide, and not quite third OF
an inch thick. II has two brass penta-
graph wheels, which are an inch and
three-quarters in height, and whose
rollers are nuTFoEO and very sensitive
