four men moved listlessly about, summing them

came no tinkling of drll-hemmers. Birds flew
fearlessly about the Sheds squirrels partly emerg-

We look upon Mr.. Hartson's card as a simple
matter of justice to himself Since the election
more than one paper printed in the Third Con-
gressional District has boldly asserted that il
Hon. Charles Westmoreiand, or some other man
had been nominated instead of Harrison, his cleo
ton would have been certain. We felt all the
time that it might be more discreet on the mar,
of these papers to await the official count in the
District before making any such positive state
ments. 30 good could be accomplished By SO
doing, and the abuse of Harrison for having been
candidate, and having received the nomination
could only have tendency to create bitterness
among his friends which might be remembered
in future years. 1t is hardly worth while to
publish the vote for Electors in the District tc
show that it was impossible to defeat "Slye,
Ball Johnson with cir. Harrison or any Other
man in the District. 1t was foreordained tina,
this District should submit to being shamefully
misrepresented for another term, and we hope

we make these remarks out Of no feeling o.

DEATH or JOSIAH DRIsKwATER.-M. v. Kel-

Josiah Drinkwater died from his wound the day
after the fight. 1t had been hoped from the in
telligence received by the Humboldt mail on the
I'd that be would survive the wound, but the
frs. intelligence that he was morta;ly wounded
proved incst correct. His brother started for
Humboldt county as soon as the news of his be-
ing wounded reached Hay Fork, but be was dead
and buried before his arrival. The news was re-
ceiyed with pnfeigned regret by all who knew
prinkwater, and the flags were raised to half
mast as a last tribute of respect. We had hoped
that the Indian murderers might be overtaken
and punished without further loss of life, but it
seems that it was ordained otherwise. Peace to
