SHOCKING MURDER.-The Nevada Gazette

SHOCKING MURDER.-The Nevada Gazette
says:
We have before alluded to the shameful
manner in which Chinese are beaten, robbed
and otherwise maltreated by rascaly white
men in some parts of our county. Now, it
would seem as if the Ku Kiux Klan, embold-
ened by the action of the Legislature in re-
fusng to admit Chinese evidence against
white men, are committing feDdsh outrages
upon the harmless Mongoians. On Thurs
day night Of last week party of Ohinamen
working on Sweetland's creek was attacked
and robbed by three white men of the insg
nifcant sum of $50 to obtain which they
killed one Chinaman outright. Two other
Cinnamon were severely wounded that
both will probably die. 1t is reported that
Chinaman was caught, robbed of his mo-
ney and hung, on Wednesday night, 10th
inst. on Oregon creek, between Pixies Flat
and Camptonvile. Now it is plain enough
to us that the men who lay about low grog-
geries in the small towns during the day are
the men who perpetrate these robheries dur
ing the night. The citizens must form them
selves into committees of arrest, and if
caught we have no fears but the robbers and
murderers will be justly and legally pun
ished.

White men in the North are becom,
ing heartily tired of supporting in idle
ness thousands Of negtoes in the South,
and hence they demand that the Freed.
mcu's Bureau shall be abolished. What
that Radical contiivance has cost il Is
hard even TO estimate. No report has
ever been made Of the vast amount of
quartermastcr and medical stores turned
over to that Bureau, or of the value Of
transportation furnished The nearest
we can come to knowledge of the cx>
pcnse is by the estimate Of Gen. How
ard, who asked, in 1866, for a million
and thrcc-quarters to clotho freedmen,
half million to buy them rhysic, and
ncary two millions for transportation
Besides this, there was an irregular
fund Of one million and a half which
disappeared in the same way. To these
sums must be added the loss the coun-
try occasioned by the Withdrawal of la.
Dor in ten States by tampering with the
negro. Field hands have been tnrned
into politicians, and laborers, needed to
raise cotton, rlce tobacco, corn and 9th.
