LOVES REGRET

LOVES REGRET.
Love, we. shall never clasp again
Hands moist with loves fresh dew.
Does such vague unforguess'd despair,
As falls round me, fold you?
A deep drawn curse for whispering tongues,
For loves cup rimm'd with fire;
For love turn'd gall for lovers wrongs,
When suchwise fails desire.
There is no trouble in the world
Like this-to feel forlorn
The children of sweet fancy dead,
The bridal brood unborn.
Oh, love can make the spirit sad,
And love can make it gay
The visions, wllich--so good--we had,
Are swiftly flown away!
Come, sit beneath these expresses,
And pluck abranch Of rue,
Let fall heavier, bitterer tear
Than other mourners do.
They weep for those their hands held fast
A tlief while ere they died;
But we, the unborn loved ones, placed,
By lovers hands, side by side.

Attempt at Murder and su,c,de.

A crime seldom equaled in 6endish atrocity
was perpetrated in the Pacific Melodeon
building, on the corner of Pacific aud Kearny
streets, at about half past ten o'clock this
morning. 1t seems that the wife of James
Bennett has teen acting upon the stage st
the melodeon contrary to his wishes. A few
days ago she had him arrested for beating
her and he was fined forty dollars in the
Police Court. This morning Bennett went
to her room in the second story of the melod.
con building. She had gone out with her
little girl to breakfast. Her roommate was
in the room and would not let him iu. He
said he wanted to see bis wife aud child, as
be was going away. The woman told him
that she would tell his wife when she came.
He wanted to wait for her in the room. This
he was not allowed to do as be was observed
to be agtated and somewhat under the influ-
ence of liquor. He went away and Mrs.
Benefits friend proceeded to the restaura ut
and informed her that her husband had been
to the room and that he wanted to see her.
She also told Mrs. Bennett that she had bet
ter keep away from him, as be was iutoxi-
Gated Contrary to the advice of her friend,
husband came in and took a seat on the sofa.
He asked to see his little girl The mother
brought the child into the room and he
fondled it short time, and then asked bis
wife if sho knew what be came there for.
She said that she did not. He replied,
Cd d-n you, come to shoot you' He
then drew a large sized cavalry revolver.
She started to leave the room, but he pre-
vented her and tried to lock the door The
key was gone, and in the struggle Mrs. Ben
nett got past him into the hall. He then

mark and struck the door post on level
with her waist. Following her into the

took effect, which struck her in the Aeshy

to his head and fred. The ball entered on
the right side, near the top, fracturing the
skull and glauciBg off struck the wall near
the railing. He fell with the revolver in his
baud, and his little daughter ran to him, cry
ing, Papa, papa what have you done!' Just
as he was falling, officer Pierce, who had
heard the firing, arrived at the head Of the
stairs. Bennett lay welteriug in his blood,
still graspiug the deadly weapon in bis hand
and holding firmly in his teeth the remains
of half smoked cigar. Medical attendance
was at once procured and the wounded ma n
attended to. The wound was pronounced
not necessarily fatal His pulse was good
and his breathing regular. He lay in a
stupor, but seemed sensible of pain when
bis wound was being dressed. The weapon
used is one of Colts older patent dragoon
pistols. F. Chronicle.

GARFIELDE has always been consistent in
rascality AS receiver of the land Office he
became the custodian of various sums Of
money-the property OfpoOr settlers, which
they had deposited with him to pay for land
claims, which he swindled them out of and
for which be was removed from Office
He afterwards figured as hanger-On around
gambling tables. Professedly temperance
man, be spends his days and nights in the
rear rooms of drinking saloons, where be
sustains the reputation of being one of the
best poker players in the country, and gives
evidence of being able to stand up under a
load of whisky that would floor any ordinary
man. With all these defects, and reputa-
tion for dishonesty wherever he has bad the
opportunity to betray trust, Mr.. Gar6clde
is an eminently fit person to be made the
standard bearer of the radical party-a party
that boasts the retention Of men in Office
who steal more than one>fourth the whole
amount wrung from the people in the way
of Federal taxes.

GRATITUDE OF REPUBLICS New
York Herald, speaking of Schencks bill fol
strengthening the Public credit, which pass
ed Congress at the last session, says:
-"Whatever right may be felt at the cost
Iy Iiberality aud generosity Of our Govern
ment in thus redeemiDg at par in gold debt
which in its contraction realized an average
of about seventy per cent in greenbacks, the
law goes upon the national statute book and
becomes obligatory upon the country. Par
pdrenthese, who shall say after this that re-
pubtics are ungrateful. The new situation
inds us with promise to pay several hnn-
dred millions more than would have been
due had it been determined to pay this in
debtedness in kind"
This republic b indeed grateful to the for
eign bondholder, to promise to pay him fifty
per cent more than was promised, more than
due, aud more than was just. Bot is there's
public grateful to its own citizens who will be
compelled to pay this As to this law being
obligatory upon the country" we have to
say that we have had many such laws before
this which have been changed, and we think
it most probable this law will be. The peo>
ple will not sanction such downright robbery
of the taxpayers. They will preserve the
faith of the nation.

HEARING oE WRIT OF HABEAs CoRPUs.-An
interesting case was beard before Judge Wyehe
on Monday last, relative to the custody of mi
nor child of Mr.. Vetter and wife, who have
separated, and Yetter has instituted a euirfor
divorce, to be heard on the 3Oth of June. There
are two minor children, but the wife bad left
and had gone as far as Wallula with the young
est child, and the Court ordered both Of the
children to be committed to the keeping of the
"Sisters," )" of this place, until the divorce case
should be heard. 1T was developed during the
. trial that Eugene Crowne had been instrumental
largely in producing the trouble 10 the family,
sand a'warrant was otdered to be issued by the
up before the Court on a charge of adultery,
and, after a hearing, was bound over to the
District Court, in the sun Of one thousand dol
lars The Judge took occasion to express his
views on offehces of this character, and to show
that the invader of the marriage circle was en-
titled to no favor from the community, or judge
or jury, and that so excersble was such a'uEan
considered, that no jury 10 the country would
Convict the slayer of the destroyer. The Court
STATED the unhappy surroundings in this case,
produced mainly by the acts of Crowre. The
marriage relation is the foundation Of all soci-
1y 'nat was worth preserving, and as the man
Nuo pteyed upon the commerce 'of ali nations
. was smgmatlzed as a pirate and the enemy of
mAn1inu, so the invader Of the family circle
suou'u oe recKoned as the enemy Of the human
race, 1ga,nst Wnon every mans hand should be
raised Tue Court said that it was supposed
tnere was no law against such q charge, but it
was great mistake as there was plenty of law
just suited to such cases-as Crowne would as
certain before the final determination Of the
case. he should send him to the District Court

The Governors patriotism is decidedly of the
purcbasabe kind, and his drafts on the radicals
not having been honored be has "soured " on
the party. We trust that our radical friends will

LET VoTERs bear in mind that two years since
the radicals by coalescing with few disaffected
democrats succeeded in defeating the democratic
candidate for Sheriff. and achieved triumph
over which Stone, Baker & Co. greatly rejoced.
In less than two years the person thus elected
proved defaulter and the county is saddled
with loss of $500 or $4,000, every dime OF
which will have to be made good by the farmers
and taxpayers of the county. Let the voters
bear this dearly bought experience in mind, aud
by electiug James McAuif, the democratic
candidate for Sheriff, avoid the danger of an
other defalcation.

A RADICAL MENDICANT. p. B. johnson is
travelling over WSla Wala county, reading
his piece" and importuning democrats to elect
him to the office of Probate Judge. Now, when
we remember that Mr.. j. came to this Valley
with a Government commission in his pocket,
that during nearly the whole period of bis resi-
dence he has held office under the radicals, We
think it fair to characterize this appeal for dem.
ocratic support as modest. Mr.. j. has linked
his fortunes with the radicals, and let him look
to his party for support. Democrats will
have none Of him, but will cast their sufrages
for R. Guicbsrd, and thus give assurance that
