SHALL WE HELP THE ALABAMA.
BUILDERS?

From the ~ Y. Sun.
A writer in the World persists in discussing
the question of the passage of British and
Canadian troops through the Sault st. Marie
Canal for the purpose of the Winnipeg expe-
dition. But this has never been contem-
plated anywhere. All that the British rulers
in North America desire is to send their
empty transports through the canal. If they
can get that concession, they can send their
army against Winnipeg otherwise not. There
is no other practicable route. Will the ad-
ministration grant them the privilege of
passing their boats through the canal? Or
will it deny the permission? That is what
the people desire to know.
On this subject the Detroit Post speaks the
universal sentiment of the United States.
'"The passage of empty vessels through the
canal, says that excellent journal, "while
the troops marched around it few miles
overland and re-embarked, would be an eva
sion of the laws which would arouse indig-
nation throughout the North. The people of
the North have no favors to show, no aid to
give to the nation that built and equipped the
Alabama, and warmed and cherished into life
the Rebel raiders and pirates on our border
during the war;"
Once more, will Mr.. Fish and General
Grant speak out decisively respecting this i'm
portant matter? They cannot dodge behind
the fact that the canal belongs to Michigan
The officials of Michigan cannot exclude the
empty steamboats, from the canal without
authority from Washington. Shall they
have it? Or are we to help the Alabama
builders?

ARREST OF Man CHARGED WITH MUIR
DER.-Day before yesterday Constable Har-
kin Of Empire, having received dispatch
from the Sheriff of Contra Costa County,
California, for the arrest of one Billy Bowen,
charged with the killing Of Enoch Davis, he
(Harkin) having reason to believe that
Bowen (uho has lately been living about
Empire) had gone into Douglas County.
started with Sheriff Swift and Deputy Sher-
if Butler in search of him. The Sheriff
finally traced Bowen to Mottsville. and ar
rested him there. He was Immediately
brought to Carson end lodged in the Ormsby
County Jail. By the Sherif's permission
we interviewed" Bowen yesterday and
heard his story. He is a stocky built little
English, or Welsh, sailor; and his story Of
the difficulty which resulted in Davis death
is as follows: The prisoner gives his name
as w. W. Bowen. He says that on the
night of the 18th of February he was stop
ping at the Cumberland House, kept by
Davis, near the Black Diamond mine lin
Monte Diablo) Contra Costa County. He
says that Davis. without cause, ordered him
to leave his house forthwith, and that he,
protesting that he had always paid his bills
and that the night was stormy, refused to &C
eede to Davis demand. Davis then struck
him and knocked him down, giving him
pair If black eyes. and elected him from thu
premises. Immediately after this Davis
went and got = loaded pistol and threatened
to kill him if he did not go away Bowen
stood ON the defensive, drew his sheath knife
and struck Davis with it in the breast. Davis
lived nine days after receiving this wound
and, according to Bowen's statement, pro-
tested, upon his death-bed, against any pro-
ceedings against him. The prisoner says
that up to the night when this afray &C.
cuJred be and Davis had been friends, and
that they had served together ~ enlisted
men in the First Nevada Cavalry. II
Bowen's story can be sustained By proof. We
should think that his conviction Of any
higher crime thaa hat Of nanslaushssr-if

THE Sacramento pAuper Reporter
gathers courage from the discovery of
fraud in the recount of the votes cast at
the special election, and declares that
the election of Mayer Selby was SIM
liar fraud upon Frank McCoppin. We
presume that is intended to create some
sympathy for the Democratic party,
which for once WAS not permitted 10
have things all its own way. We hardly
know what cause the Reporter may sug-
gest for a recount that shall result in
the busting Of Selby, but as the people
of this city prefer to attend 10 their own
affairs, they viii hardly pay any atteu-
ton to the vaporiogs Of subsidized
partisan organ over whom the partisan
lash is constantly hanging lest it should
swerve from the pathway of the "un-
terrified San Francisco Chronicle.

OFTHE filbustering ship" Forward,
which recently made raid upon Quay
mas (where Walker FIRST laoded) the
San Francisco Chronicle of Tuesday
says:
Some time last winter the For
ward" a British gunboat, was pur'
chased in British Columbia by firm in
this city and cleared at our Custom
House ostensibly for the oyster trade in
the Gulf of California, though suspect
ed BY the Mexican Consul that she was
intended for hostile operations against
Mexico. About the same time party
of about 200 men left this city, ostensi-
bly, for the new Arizona mines near
Tucson. As these men have never
turned up at the mines it is quite prob
able they boarded the Forward at
some point down the coast and partici-
pated in the plunderiDg raid on Quay
mas 1t was believed by many at the
time that such was their real purpose.
The Forward" proceeded TO the Vale
de Bandera, on this coast, between San
Bias and Mazatlan, where she left her
iron plates aud men, and then proceed
ed to Mazatlan, where she was placed
under surveillance and kept for some
DAYS, when she was released and sailed
again for Vale de Bandera, at which
place was the headquarters Of General
Placida Vega. That officer, Knowing
full well that if be fell into the hands o!
the Mexican authorities he would De
shot, wisely remained behind. 1t Is
probable that the next steamer from
Mexico will bring full particulars.
