CoNrRETEMPs The young and beautiful
wife of one of our prominent citizens becom-
ing Jealous of her husbands fancied prefer
ence for good looking servant girl, sent the
latter away, unbeknown to her husband, and
at night occupied her room. Sure enough,
shortly after midnight, with cat-like tread, in
came her husband, from his business up
town, and stretched his weary limbs for rest
and repose by her side The wife sprang
from the bed to strike light, that she might
blast and confound her liege lord with his
perfidy, and institute proceedings for a
divorce, when, to her utter dismay, confu-
sion and horror, she found herself in the
presence of man employed to work in the
yard and garden, and look after the stable J
The poor wife was frozen with terror, at her
situation, and, of course screamed and faint
ed. The hired man, rendered desperate by
his folly, leaped from the third'story window
on to the brick pavement below, dislocating
his spinal column, smashing his left shoul
der, and otherwise bruising and damaging
himself. He continues in paralytic condi-
ton. The husband, who had returned home
some hours before, was aston!shed to find his
wife absent, and was uneasily awaiting her
return, when, hearing the noise in the girl s
room above, ran up to ascertain the cause of
the disturbance. OF course explanations
followed, and. as they are satisfied, every
body else ought to be. This happened at an
early hour on Thursday morning, April lst.

TENURE AcT-The conflict over the Ten
ure of Office Act, out of which Democrats
hoped and predicted split would occur be
tween the President and Congress, has Leen
adjusted in a satisfactory manner. Grant
and Congress are in harmonious accord, and
Democrats are disappointed and disgusted at
not finding second johnson in the Presi-
Dental chair. The bill of the Conference
Committee, which has been adopted by both
Houses, while it does not repeal the Tenure
Act. does away with its Objectionable fea-
lures by permitting the President to make
removals or suspend officers at will, while the
Senate retains its old power to confirm or re.
ject new appointments.

SHOOTING AFFRAY.-A shooting affray oc-
Cured in Red Bluff this week, which result
ed in the wounding of one James McTurk,
well known bereabouts. McTurk had a
Frenchman employed for some time past, and
few days ago this man demanded some pay
for lis services McTurk resented this un.
reasonable request by beating the man over
the head with revolver, after which he or
dered him to leave the place or suffer serious
consequences. The Frenchman remained in
town, however, and on the following day
McTurk entered the hotel where he was
stopping and attempted to knock him down.
The Frenchman seized double barrel shot
gun and fred two shots at his assailant, one
charge entering the hip and side of the abdo-
men, and the other shattering a hand. Nc
Turks recovery was at first considered
doubtful, but he is now out of danger We
understand the Frenchman acted purely in
self defense.

Terrible Tragedy in San Francisco

a terrible tragedy occurred at the south
west corner of Market and Second street.
San Francisco at 2 O'Clock on Sunday last.
John D. Derrick, ship carpenter, from
Vallejo. married, about six months ago, the
stewardess of the steamer Orizaba, but she
left him soon after and went to San Francis
co. where she has since led life of shame.
Derrick frequently tried to &c. her back, but
she refused all intercourse with him. Some
weeks ago he broke into her house, on Mis-.
sion street, to get her away, when be was
arrested for burglary, but discharged on ex-
animation His trouble concerning her ap
pears to have driven him crazy. On Sunday
afternoon he went to her room, and found her
in company with Frank Edwards, waiter
in restaurant on Second street. She intro
duced him to Edwards, and they exchanged
few common place remarks. Mrs. Derrick
said she was going out, and prepared to put
on her cloak and bonnet. Derrick wanted to
60 with her; she refused his company, and
said she wanted no more to do with him. He
theif drew four-barreled Remington pistol
and fred at Edwards, shooting him in the
back of the head Edwards fell to the floor.
Derrick then shot his wife once on the left
side of the head near the temple, and ano-
tier through the left arm below the elbow.
Then he put the pistol to his own head and
lodged bullet 10 his brain behind the ear.
His brains protruded from the wound. and
he died at half past four o'clock. Edwards
is not dangerously wounded. The ball cut a
deep scalp wound and caused profuse bleed
ing, but not serious Mrs. Derrick's wound
is not necessarily fatal. She may recover
Upon searching Derrick's pockets it was
found that the ackwas deliberate, having had
it in contemplation some weeks. Letters
were found, written at various times, an
nouncing suicidal intentions on account of
his wife's infdelity. He made written re
quest that the city would take charge OF and
educate his children, and requests his friends
to bury him beside his first wife, and that
under no circumstances shall his second wife
be buried near him, declaring her the cause
of his death. 1t appears that he mlstook
Edwards for man named Mitchell, whom
he accuses of being his wife's paramour. The
tragedy created great excitement In San
Francisco.

WAsr A PRINcE.-The democratic mo-
culs, who can no longer control the affairs OF
the Federal Government, are becoming dis
gusted with republican institutions, and are
evidently willing to see the country come
under the dominion of king In speech
at Knoxville, on the Sd inst. Andrew John
son informed Democratic audience that it
would lie far better to be governed by a
Prince than by our Radical Congress. The
San Francisco Examiner proclaims the same
sentiment, and says the Government of Great
Britain is infinitely preferable to that of the
United States. In these declarations the old
Tory sentiment crops out in bold relief. and
confirm the charge that modern Democratic
leaders entertain more love for kingly rule
and aristocratc forms of government than for
the republican institutions under which our
country has hourished so goriously, and
grown so powerful. Having utterly failed 10
fasten the curse of slavery upon the country,
and having lost control of the machinery of
the Government, which is hereafter to be
directed in the cause of freedom and civiliza.
ton. these demagogues come out in their true
colors, decry the institutions Of our country,
and praise .he governments instituted bv
kings. Such is the bogus g Democracy" Of
to day Will the friends of liberty and re-
publicanism ever trust them again? We
think not.

If any person shall willfuIly make, or give,
under oath affirmation, false list of his, her,
or their taxable property, false list of taxable
property under his, her, or their control, such per-
son shall be deemed gnty of perjury, and upon
conviction thereof, shall be punished therefor, as
is by law provided for the punishment of perjury
and any property willfully concealed removed,
transferred, misrepresented by the owner any
agent thereof, to evade taxation, shall upon dis
covery, be assessed at ten times the of tax

assessed upon it and fifty per cent. of the amount
of such additional tax when solicited shall be paid

Attention is also directed to the following section

l." The Assessor of said county is authorized and
it is hereby made his duty to collect all the poll or
per capita tax except the road poll tax, and the
taxes upon all movable personal property and upon
the entry of any assessment of movable personal
property to any person, firm corporation, associa-
ton, or company. who does not own real estate
sufficient in the opinion of the Assessor to insure
the payment of such tax within the county, to de-
mand the payment of the taxes upon the same
and if such person, firm, corporation, association,
or company shall refuse neglect to pay such
taxes, the Assessor shall, by virtue of the power
herein vested in him. proceed to collect such taxes
in the same manner prescribed by law for the Col
lector."
If Tax Payers were to have list of their pro-
perty prepared ready to be sworn to, as the law
directs, by the time of my reaching them they
would thereby perhaps save themselves much
noyance, as wel facilitate my work
