Az IMPORTANT INSURANCE CASE
Some time ago Americas Baum, Of In
diana, insured his life with the Proyi-
dent Insurance Company for $4,000, to
be paid to the legal representatives or
heirs within ninety days aftcr sufficient
proof, etc. In a short time Americas
Baum died of q gun-shot wound, and
when the Insurance Committee refused
to a to the deceased mans represcn-
tatiye the amount of the policy, Napo-
leon Baum, the representative, institu-
ted a suit against the Company in the
proper local Court. The argument Of
the plaintiff went to show that Ameri-
Gus Baum had died as specified; that
the plaintiff was his brother, and that
the policy had been assigned to him,
and as such he sued for recovery Of the
amount due. The response of the In
surance Company was that Americas
Baum had committed suicide; that Ma
poleon Baum, the plaintiff, was not tho
brother or near relative Of said Ameri-
Gus, and could have nj pecuniary inter-
est in his life. But the lower Court
overruled all these and other objections,
and charged the jury If they considered
that the insurer had died as represented
by plaintiff, and that the plaintiff had
used becoming diligence in informing
the Company Of the death o fhis brother,
then It was the duty Of the jury to find
for the plaintiff, which they did by re-
turning a verdict for Napoleon Baum,
for the amount Of the policy, with five
per cent. interest, damages and cost,
which judgment was approved and af-
frmed by the Supreme Court of lndi-
ana.-N. Y. Tribune.

On, LoRDY "A Democratic journal,
which a few short weeks ago threw
over poor Johnson when he was in
trouble, now ventures on the assertion,
with a little difidence, but still firmly
and pu~gnaciously, that never again
during the incidentally ensuing ages of
mankind eve again through the slow
march Of geological ages will there be
q similar attempt (meaning thereby i'm
~peachment) at the preparation Of so
gross an outrage, at the instigation Of
partisan malice, under any form Of
Government aspiring to be considered
THAT is to say, the form Of Government
aforesaid, BY the other nations of the
earth as q free Constitutional Govern
ment." This is what would be regarded
as tho most powerful sort of writing in
Bascom's grocery. We n fancy the
profound sensation which an ~eutburst
so grand would be sure to create there.

BUCHANAN DEAD.

On the LIST inst, as the telegraph IN
forms US, James Buchanan, ex-President
of tho United States, terminated n long
and sycutful life. or the thirty-ive
million people whom he had rare and
peculiarly favorable opportunities 10
benefit and attach to him, how many
will shed a tear, heave q sigh or feel n
pang Of regret on reading of his demi'eT
We feel safe in assuming that no sentl-
mcnt Of sorrow for his death or respect
for his memory will be aroused in the
breast of even one solitary individual
throughout tho entire length n
breadth Of this great land. Neither in
the North that he betrayed, nor in the
South that he cringed and truckled to-
will any one be found to sincerely
mourn his taking off. Some OF our
living statesmen might we'll read and
profit by the lesson contained in these
uudeniabls facts. If James Buchanan
had truly and faithfully performed the
duties of the high Office conferred upon
him by the American people, the tidings
Of his death, instead Of being passed
over with the ~apathstic indifference ac-
corded to an ordinary dispatch, would
have son. a pang to every patriot heart,
while tolling bells and draped flags
would have given earnest Of a nations
o With nonc to grieve for his loss
or treasure his memory, he has gone to
meet the thousands who people the
hither shore Of the dark river through
his weakness, imbecility or troachery.
We will not attempt to follow him be-
youd the grave, but we may bend over
it and learn q lesson in favor Of truth,
faithfulness and patriotism.

FROM SILVER PEAK.-We learned from
Mr.. A. Pumpclly, who returned from
Silver Peak a few days ago, that tho
mill Of the Silver Peak and Red Noun
tain Company was nearly completed,
but would not be opened before the LIST
of July. The opening Of the mill is de-
layed for the completion of the tram
way, eight miles long, over which the
ore is 10 be delivered from the mine to
the mill. This tramway was designed
by Mr.. J. E. Clayton, the mining engi-
heel Of the company, and is said to be
very ingenious in its construction. The
mill contains twenty ordinary stamps,
and two novel steam" stamps which
IRE estimated to possess q crushing
force equal to ten ordinary stamps. 1t
is designed for the reduction Of gold
bearing quartz by crushing and ANAL
gamation, and is pronounced to be the
most perfect work of that kind in either
California or this State. Grass in that
section is forward aud will yield q largo
crop OF hay.-Reess River Reveille.

The Chicago Times OF May 9th says:
Most people have heard about the dark
mes, which on n certain occasion perya-
ded Egypt, but VIC doubt if there were
any in this city who were prepared for
II renewal Of the phenomenon in Chi
cago, such as happened yesterday.
About FIVE o'clock in the afternoon, the
sky was suddenly darkened to such an
extent that it was found necessary TO
ligh. the gas all over the city. For n
time it seemed rs though night had for
gotten itself and was prematurely envel-
oping the earth in q more than sable
mantle. Then, too, the darkness had
an unusual density about it, and
brought with it a chilliness that was as
startling as it was sudden; and though
it lasted but q few moments, and then
passed away rs suddenly ms it came,
most persons experienced a feeling Of
awe and dread, as though the cloud
wore n pestilence that had suddenly
dropped down upon the city, and with
that activity which marks the beast Of
prey as he springs upon his victim, had
settled down over them, making it i'm
possible to escape the horror.
Thrice, in quick succession, did the
phenomenon-for it can be called moth
tug else-happcn, and then the vista
lion passed entirely away, leaving tho
sun shining bright, and the citizens
wondering and specializing upon the
cause. The most reasonable solution
of the matter is, that the air becoming,
rs it sometimes does, suddenly rarified,
n dense storm cloud settled close down
to the earth, which shut out the light
of day, and produced the unnatural
darkness.
The popularity of the appearance
was, that the cloud which so rapidly
dnrkened the sky seemed to como from
no point Of the compass in particular,
but appeared suddenly to envelop the
entire face Of nature in its cold, damp
shadow. 1t disappeared in the same way
none being able to tell whittier it went
any more than from whence it came.
1t was almost as sudden as the extin-
punishment of q gas-light within o room;
and the accompanying sensation Of cold
and dampness which ~pervaded the at
mosphere, like the breath from a tomb,
lent horror to the scene and caused
many to tremble who are not supersti-
tious. Tho sensation was as though a
tremendous hail-storm must have pass
ed very near us. The telegraph wires
worked with so much difficulty that we
were unable to obtain any satisfactory
information in reference to the extent of
country involved in this remarkable
visitation.

PROTECTION TO ADOPTED CITIZENS
ABRoAD.-Ths Irish Republic of May I'd,
speaking of the Banks bill for the pro-
lection of American citizens in foreign
countries, passed on the aoth ultimo,
says:
What Democracy has failed to do in fifty
years, Republioanism has done in seven. Let
our people stand BY the men who are true to
liberty. Let them respond to this action Of
the Republican Congress, aud cast their
ballots for the next Republican candidate
for the Presidency. It matters not whether
no may be Grant, Greeley, Wade, Colfax,
etc., they are all men pledged to the glowing
principles Of republican liberty. On the
other hand, let them support Francis Adams,
Mcclellan or some other pct Of tho English
House Of Belmont, who must be the candi-
date Of the Demoeracy-let them do this, but
let them cease their can't about freedom, or
the rights Of American citizens.

LETTER FROM IDAHO.
SILVER CRY, OwYHEEj I. TIL
Nav 26th, 1868.

EDITOR News On Saturday, the 23d
inst, the stage was attacked by Indians
between the Sheep Ranch and Inskip's
Station, about forty-ive miles from this
city. The passengers, eleven in all, had
just brought up the subject about the
Indians, when a lady, Mrs. Kablo, said,
eyes; if W. were only out Of these
rocks, We would be out Of the worst of
the danger" but hardly had she finished
her sentence, before bang | went a shot
from u rife, which killed the driver in
stautly-his name was Dickinson-and
another shot vas fred, which struck
ono of the horses on the side Of tho
head, but glanced off, only causing a
slight bruise. All the passengers were
made to get out, and directly in front Of
them, on the road, was seen IN Indian
on horseback. He caused the horses to
run into the rocks, which broke down
the stage. His horse made O stumble,
| which threw him to the ground, one Of
the passengers at the same time shoot
ing at him, but without effect. There
were only two more seen, who were on
foot. The Indians seeing there was too
many for them made tracks. After this,
one of the messengers rode off to the
next station for another coach, and on
| his way met q detachment Of soldiers,
| who said q wagon had been attacked IN
hour or two before, and the Indians had
| shot ono of the men, who was then lying
ut Inskip's Station in n very critical
condition, and suffering very much with
pain. A day or two before this the stage
| was stuck in the mud and water for sew
euteen hours, so it appears that the
roads in somo places arc in a very bad
condition.
There has nothing been made known
definitely in regard to the stolen bullion
at the Sinker Creek mill, but the Celes-
tials are still imprisoned there. The
more they arc convcrsed with the
stronger is the suspicion against them.

all to no effect.

bit of r~aciness "a maiden lady OF this

HORRIBLE ArFAIR.-The Alta OF Sat-
urday has tho following description Of
a most shocking affair:
Charles o.Neill, a man Of incorporate hab.
its and violent temper, who has frequently
been before the Police Court, and once
served out a term in the County Jail for wife
whipping, was arrested this morning by
Captain Lees on a more serious and terrible
charge-that OF murder. The circumstances
Of the case, so far as known, are these
O'Neill and his wife, Ann, lived together un.
happily for years, he frequently beating and
abusing her shamefully in his drunken
frenzy, and finally they agreed to separate.
They sold their homestead for some $4,000
and divided the money equally, nearly a year
since. He took his share Of the money and
went to New York, while she remained here
with their son, q boy IL or Is years Of age.
Recently no returned and found her living in
a house on Baldwin Court, out Of Folsom
street, and commenced annoying her about
money, demanding that she should give him
also her half Of it. She refused to give up
her half, stating that she had spent it; but
the two lived together nevertheless in some
sort Of intimacy until this morning. Before
getting up he beat her sayagely in bed, and
between eight and nine o'clock some Of the
~neighbors saw them struggling together on
the balcony in the rear Of the house. He at
length got the mastery, and pitched her, head
the area below, and she, falling upon her
head, was killed instantly, her neck being
broken. He admitted, to a woman living
near by, that he did it, but on being arrested,
denied it. Their son was a witness Of the
frightful struggle and the horrible death Of
his mother by his fathers hands. The de-
ceased was about thirty-iye years Of age, the
prisoner somewhat older, and both natives Of
Ireland.

REsrELLIsX.-The Revolution, tho Now
York organ Of the women, is out against
the fearfully increasing crime of abor-
ton and fGticidc, which it calls Restell-
ism. It says:
Restellism is murder with the Roman
Catholics. Half q dozen children in every
Irish family. Only two in the modern
American family. What il the matter? An
wer Restellism. That is why, shortly, the
children Of the Emerald Isle will be walking
through the graveyards Of the Puritan.
It is o notorious fact that criminal
prosecutions against the practitioners
Of the vile trade to which the Revolution
thus refers are rarely, if ever, success
full. The Infamous woman whose name
has been adopted a a synonym for
child-murder was frequently indicted
but never convicted. If the "woman's
paper" can work q revolution that will
end this monstrous crime in America,
or even lessen its practice, it will have
accomplished a sufficient mission.

mo q special election took place in An
drew Johnson's old Congressional dis
trict in Tennessee for q Judgeship.
The candidates were Mr.. Woodward,
Republican, a resident Of Andrew John
sons W town Of Greenville, and Col.
Brown, q Union officer, who had con-
scented to be . candidate on the A. J.
side. Tho contest was exciting and
clearly defined, the main issue being
the impeachment Of Andrew johnson,
and the result was the election of the
radical Republican candidate by an
overwhelming majority. What renders
this result most gratifying is the fact
that in this district there are very few
colored men and very few DISTINGUISHED
rebels. so that tho issue was met, dis
cussed, and disposed of by the white
men alone.

OREGON.

The telegraph informs us that the
Democracy carried the day in Oregon
las. Monday, by a majority of one thou
sand. This report was received in the
forenoon of yesterday, within twelve or
fourteen hours after tho closing Of the
polls in that State. We are not pre-
pared to declare the statement false, but
we are quite certain that it was impos-
ible to have ascertained the result Of
the election at that time, even in the
city Of Portland. In Oregon there is a
small population scattered over q large
area, and there is telegraphic commune
cation between but few points. In
1866, bets on the result Of the gubsrna-
torial election were made in the city OF
Jacksonville, three days after the event.
But while we are positive that it was
impossible that the authors Of the tele-
gram could have known exactly or
nearly what the figures really wore, we
arc quite ready to admit that Oregon
has gone Democratic. A steady stream
Of rebel, from Missouri, Arkansas and
Tennessee has been pouring into that
State for some time. \ large number of
the scholarly individuals who I" fowt in
under Pap Price," have honored Oregon
by making it their home. The majority
Of Governor Wood, in &c, was only u
little owe three hundred, and there were
hundreds who voted for him on the sole
and entirely sufficient ground that they
|" knowed him when he used ter run
barefoot" No one at all familiar with
the superior educational requirements
Of q large fraction Of the late immigra-
ton into Oregon, has anticipated any
thing but a Democratic success there.
But we arc quite sauguine that the re-
ported majority will be cut down at
least one-half, and almost hope that the
three electoral votes Of Oregon will be
cast for Grant, although he don't need
them.

any person who votes or attempts to
vote any other than a white ticket, is
declared guilty Of a fraud upon the
