HUMAN HYENAs IN Missouri
Last Monday the remains of Miss Maggie
McCarren, lovely and interesting girl of
eighteen the only daughter and child of
Mr.. Edward McCarren, an old and highly
esteemed citizen of this county, living
near Mascousah, were consigned to the
grave The funeral took place about two
o'clock in the afternoon Next day about
the same hour, the grief-stricken parents
paid visit to the grave of their darling
child to water it anew with their tears
Judge of their feelings of horror to find
that the grave had been tampered with !;
and to allay the horrible suspicion that
took shape and form in their minds the
the grave was reopened, when it became
apparent that the tomb had been ruthlessly
invaded the night previous. The clothes
in which their beloved daughter was bur-
led had been stripped from her body, to-
gether with the ornaments upon her per-
son and carried away as booty. The body
was in such disarranged condition as to
require to be redressed and reinterred.-
The anguish of the fond parents at this
gross indignity and outrage cannot be de-
scribed. We have learned that the dis
tressed parents have caused the remains, of
their beloved child to be inferred in the
garden contiguous to their residence,
where it is to be hoped she will be per-
mitted to repore in peace. Mr. McCarren
offers reward of $1,000 for the detection
and capture of the authors of this inhuman
outrage.-BeluiUe (Mo.) Democrat jan

AMENDMENT-The following is copy of
the proposed Constitutional Amendment as
last amended:
The right of citizens of the United States
to vote and hold Office shall not be denied or
abridged by any State on account of race,
color, nativity, property, creed or previous
condition of servitude." :"
The Vallejo Recorder, (Republican) refers
to this measure as follows:
We do not hesitate to say that, for our
self, we are opposed to the amendment, at
least so far as it opens the door to Asiatic
suffrage, even in a remote and contjgent de-
gree and while we deem the measure un-
called for and hasty at the present time, we
unhastitatiDgly endorse the amendment pro-
posed by Senator Corbett, which would ex-
clude Chinese, for all time from the right of
SUFFRAGE
The Shasta courier., 1869-02-27

FLUTTERING.-Tbe Yreka papers are in a
bad way over our statements in relation to
the treatment received by the "Castro fam
ly" According to their statement it was the
people of Hawkinsville who corraled the
Castro's in a cabin until six or seven of them
died of smallpox. The people of Yreka con-
tented themselves with excluding the Hawk
insvilIans from the limits of their corporation.
The papers mentioned claim that the family
were we'll treated and endorse the action Of
the Hawkinsvillans in the matter. If COM
pelling large family, sick and well, to re-
main huddled together in the same house until
nearly all of them either caught terrible
disease or died from its ravages constitutes
good treatment then Hawkinsville and her
apologists are welcome to all the glory there
unto belonging. So far as the Journals
criticisms in relation to the correctness OF our
reports are concerned we care nothing. The
proprietor has evidently forgotten the fact
that during the last State campaign he first
hoisted the Union ticket, then took it down
and apologised for the mistake in putting 1T
up. then put it up again and apologised for the
mistake in taking it down. We never copy
after that STYLE of correctness"
The Shasta courier., 1869-02-27
SHASTA COURIER.
SATURDAY, MORNING, FEB. 81, 1869.

The ANENDNENT.-The newly proposed
Constitutional Amendment is still pending In
Congress, and that body may fail to order 1t
submitted to the States for ratification or re
lection. We observe that the Union Repubii-
can press of this coast are generally opposed
to the Amendment, and it is also very certain
that it would not be ratified by two thirds OF
the States if submitted. If this Amendment
should become part of the Constitution and
tho word white" should be stricken out OF
the Naturalization Laws, the door would be
omen to the naturalization of Chinese, Japan
ees. Malays, etc. If the Amendment is de-
faated and the word white should be
stricken from the Naturalization Laws, States
would still have the power to exclude Chinese
and other colored foreigners from exercising.
the privileges of citizenship within their bor-
ders by means of local legislation. The rati-
fication of the Amendment would, however,
take from the States the power to abridge the
political privileges of any citizen, and all
State legislation prescribing any class or
race admitted to naturalization would be de-
clared violation Of the Constitution and con-
sequently null and void by the Supreme Court
Of the United States. Thus we see that any
States voting to make this measure part of
the supreme law Of the land would thereby
consent to lay down an important part of that
sovereignty with which they are now clothed.
In view of its proposed curtailment of the
perogatives now accorded to the States, and
its weakening of the barriers which at present
exist between US and the admission of Chinese
mongrels to citizenship. we desire to see and
the Amendment consigned to that oblivion
which surely awaits it.

White Pine

former resident of this county writing
from Hamilton, White Pine District, under
date of Feb. 18th, says;
nThis is one of the roug hest couatry's
have ever met in my travels; it does nothing
but snow, freeze, and blow perfect buri-
canes all the time. have not seen warm
or a fine day for the last six weeks Good
claims are few here and the population is
large. There is already great amount of
suffering here because the mass of the pop
ulation cannot get employment until the
ing. A great many San Francisco mer-
chants have lost money here; the market is
glutted with goods of all kinds although
freights are enormous. Chicago has her
drummers here and next Summer will COM
pete with California for the trade of this
State. / cannot advise anyone to come out
here. Last Tuesday night, at Treasure
City, 5000 feet above the level of the sea,
tents, fences, and buildings were carried
away by the winds. / meet many poor
cusses in the street on crutches who have
been disabled by the frost. The fact is this
is the toughest country ever saw but am
going to see it out in some way. There are
some very rich deposits of silver here, but SC
far no true defined assure vein or lode has
been discovered. These deposits lay on a
limestone base mixed with reddish cement,
spar and quartz. The other productions OF
the country are Indians, lice, sage brush,
sand, high winds, snow, gamblers, black
legs loose women, sore throats, and conges-
tion of the lungs"

DARIEN CANAL.-The treaty recently ne
gotiated by Caleb Gushing with Government
of Columbia comedies to the United States
the exclusive right to construct an inter-ocean
canal across the Isthmus of Darien, between
any points to be selected by the United States.
The Colombian Government cedes six miles
of land on each side of the canal, half Tor It's
own benefit. the other for that Of the party
undertaking the construction OF the canal
The Colombian Government is to receive ten
per cent. of the net income for the first ten
wears. and after the canal shall have been
paid for, twenty five per cent, net. The
points of the treaty are to be ratified by the
United States within six months, and the
survey is to be made within two years after
the ratification the canal to be begun within
five wears and finished in fifeeen years after
the ratification, otherwise the character fails.
The charter runs one hundred years.
The canal is to be under the control of the
United States. Congress is to fix the rate OF
tolls; navigation to be open to all nations in
time of peace, but closed to belligerents who
NAV seek to avail themselves of its advanta-
ges. 1t is estimated the canal will cost 500,
0O0, 600

WALTHAWT
w A TCH Il "a .

The extensive of these watches for the last
fifteen years by Railway Conductors Engineers,
and Expressmen, the most exacting of watch
wearers, has thoroughly demonstrated the strength,
steadness, durability and accuracy of the Watham
Watch. To satisfy that class in all these respects
is to decide the question as to the real value of
these time kee ers.
More than 100 900 of these watches are now
speaking for themselves in the pockets of the
people, proof and guarantee of their superiority
over all others.
The superior organization and great extent OF
the Company's Works at Watham enable them to
produce Watches at price which renders compe-
titon futile, and those who buy any other watch
merely pay from % to 50 per cent. more for their
watches than is necessary.
We are selling Waltham Watches at less
prices in greenbacks, than the gold prices before
the war. There is other manufacture of any
kind in the United States of which this be
said.
These t;me-pieccs combine every improvement
that long experience has proved of real practical
use. Having had the refusal of nearly every in
vention in Matchmaking originating in this coun-
try, or in Europe, only those finally adopted
which severe testing by the most skillfu artisans in
our works, and long use on the part of the public
demonstrated to be essential to correct and endur-
ing time-keeping.
Among the many improvements we would par,
ticularize
The invention and use of centre-pinion Of
peculiar construction, to prevent damage to the
train by the breakage of main springs, is original
with the American Watch Company, who, having
had the refusal of all other contrvances, adopted
Fogg's Patent pinion as being the best and fault
less.
Hardened and tempered hair-springs, now
universally admitted by watchmakers to be the
best, used in all gra1es of Waltham Watches.
All watham Watches have dust-proof caps
protecting the movement dust, and les sening
the necessity of the frequent cleaning necessary in
other watches.
Our patent stem -winder, or keyless watch,
is already decided success and great improve
ment on any stem winding watch in the American
market and by far the cheapest watch of its quality
now offered to the public.
To CALIFORNIANS and others living in
portions of the United States where watchmskers
do not abound, watches with the above mentioned
improvements which tend to insure accuracy
cleanliness durability and convenience, must prove
invaluable.
Every watch bearing the trade mark of waltham
is guaranteed to be thoroughly reliable time
keeper.
To prevent imposition, buyers should invariably
demand certificate of genuineness.
The trade supplied by Messrs. r. B. Gray Co.,
San Francisco, Cal, and generally for sale at retail
by all respectable dealers.

NICKEL ColNs-The denominations of the
new coins are to be one, three and five cents,
and they are to be composed of one fourth
nickel and one efourth copper. The one cent
is to weigh grain and half, and will be
about the size of the five cent silver coin,
which some of the existing inhabitants of the
United States will reccollect to have seen.-
The three and five cent pieces are to be about
the size of the one and two cent coppers now
in use. and will weigh respectfully three and
five grains. The new coin is to be legal ten
der except for duties on imports, and all the
existing nickel and copper coins will be with
drawn.
