CONDITION OF MCDERMITT. - Charley Kuper
writes us from Red Bluff that McDermitt, who is
now confined in the Jail there, is behaving in
furious manner, thrashing the cell and beating
the walls with bis irons In short, he now be-
HAYES more like a lunatic than at any time pre-
viously, and Sheriff Johnson expresses the belief
that unless medical aid is afforded him he will
die. Some days after the killing of Sheriff Coch-
ran he was taken before the County Judge, who
bound him over to await the action of the Grand
Jury, and the Sheriff avows his intention to hold
him until order for his release is made In
Court McDermitt asked where Sheriff Cochran
was? who brought him to Red Bluff ? and how
long they were going to keep him in Jail -?
Mr.. Kuper returned to Red Bluff with the team
which brought the remains of Sheriff Cochran
on last Saturday morning. He mentions many
acts of kindness and generosity which were ex-
hibited along the road. Bridge and road tolls
were refused both coming and returning and the
proprietors of the Tower House, where the fun
eral ccrtege remained all night, refused any re-
Enumeration whatever. In Short the greatest
sympathy was exhibited in behalf of our lament
ed fellow citizen all along the route. Mr.. Kuper
desires to return thanks to Israel Comstock, Esq
and Sheriff 0. R. Johnson, of Red Bluff, for as
sistance gladly rendered in settling affairs of de-
ceased, and to the citizens of that place gener-
ally for many acts of kindness done since the
bloody tragedy occurred.

GROWING AT irs FRIENDs.-The San Francis
CO Examiner growls at the Legislature because of
unfaithfulness to party pledges. Hear it
ave are induced to these reflections by the
fact that, although it was portion of the plat
form of the Democracy of the State, that there
should be repeal or modification of the present
Sunday Laws and Registry Law, no effective eff
fort has been made by the Democratic members
of the present Legislature to accomplish either
of the ends proposed. What the cause of this
apathy may be on these important subjects, or
who is most to blame for it, we cannot imagine
We only know that the days of the Legislative
session are already numbered, and that the hours
of its existence fleeing rapidly by without
the fulillment of the promises of Democrats so
lavishly made before the election
To which the Marysville Appeal responds in
the following sledge-hammer style:
In regard to the Registry Law the Democratic
Assembly care but little. The Democrats won
their first victory under it, and they feel more
amiable than when they believed it was a law to
disfranchise Copperheads and give perpetual
power to the Radicals of California Leading
Democrats believe the law good one No one
dislike it who wishes to keep the ballot-box
inviolate. As to the repeal of the Sunday Law.
the Democrats met an obstacle more formidable
than the 90 German element" The Catholic in
huence of the State exerted in behalf of the
law as it is. We challenge the Examiner to press
this question"

Another Card.
INDIAN CREEK, March "a, 1868.


EDITOR JOURNAL The use of my name by Mr..
Hail. in his raid upon the 90 Trinity Rifles, {" may
be OF service to that gentleman, as he AYERS that
that organization has been an injury and hinder
ance to him since its formation, but 1T is ex-
tremely notifying to me that idle and unguard-
ed remarks of mine, made in private conversa-
ton with members of the Company, should be
publicly used BY an outsider to the injury of the
Company.
The expressions which Mr.. Hall attributes to
me he must have received from third parties and
members Of the Company, for of this ! am posi-
tlve-that prior to his conversation with Max
Lang and John Martin he and l had never ex-
changed two words in reference to the g Trinity
Rifles or their affairs
Some two weeks ago Mr.. Hall asked my con-
sent to the publication of card denying the
truth of a remark attributed to him and which
had reference to me. of course consented, and
think that the two first paragraphs Of his card
would have amply answered the purpose, but his
associating my name with the balance of that
document is far more croditable to his cunning
than consolatory to my feelings.
l may in petulant moment have said that
the Company had never complied with the law
in single instance, but | hope that | did not,
and if | did, it was only license of speech
which sometimes thoughtlessly indulge in.
/ ask the members of the Company to believe
me when | say that | have no sympathy what
ever with Mr.. Hall in his attack upon the Com
pany for it has ever been my wish that it should
flourish and be efficient and any il-natured re-
marks | ever made concerning it were caused by
vexation that such was not the case. Of the
preambuating roll-cals and cooked reports, |
know nothing except from Mr.. Halls card and
conversation.
If Mr.. Hall will in all candor ask himself if
some of theshort-comings and delinquncies with
which he charges the - Trinity Rifles are not
directly traceable to the malgn influence which
he has exerted and the hostility he has exhibited
to that body, think that he will answer the
question in the affirmative.
Lastly, if Mr.. Hall las he says considers me a
gentleman, he should not have cndeavored to
make odous in the eyes of my comrades by
using me as a cat's-paw to crafty his spite and
malice against other parties, for whose acts am
in no wise responsible. A. MCINTYRE.
