HARD FIGHr.-The Sacramento Record
relates the following particulars of a
fight which took place in the classic
city OF '.Gouge Eye" Placer county:
The participants were Frenchman
and young man named Mott. 1t seems
the Frenchman owns ranch through
which a road had been run, and here
tofore used as public highway, but
which he decided to close to travel.
Mott in the early part of the day had
passed through with his team, and on
returning found that the road had been
fenced up. He proceeded to open his
way through, and the Frenchman de-
INJURED. Mott told the Frenchman that
if he proved a better man than he Mott),
then he would prevent him. Harsh
words ensued, and the Freedman seiz-
ing a sheath knife protruding from the
pants pocket of Mott, be grasped it and
cut Mott in the size in two places. Mott
then drew a revolver and shot the
Freedman through the arm just above
the elbow, who supposing himself as
good as dead, fell down, when Mott
wresie6 the knife from him and cut him
10 the left arm just above the elbow,
making terrible wound. Both parties
are terribly wounded, and confined to
their beds.

TIE Chicago Republican is severe on
its contemporary, the Tribune, and papers
of like ilk. 1t says:
Free-trade journals, like the Chicago
Tribune, the Cincinnati Gazette, the St.
Louis Democrat, and SO on, with the in-
fusion CT free.trade Democracy which
the Republican party gained in the North,
from the patriotism of the war, will
slough of and become avowedly Demo
cratic. Already is the Tribune, ofthis
city, trimming its sails for that deser-
ton. That sheet is looking forward to
the time when it will supplant the Times
as the great free trade organ OF the
Democratic party in the Northwest. To-
day, even, it is half friend, half-foe to
the Republican organization, and inhicts
more stabs than it supplies defences.
An enemy at heart, it accomplishes far
more harm than it does good spy in
the Republican camp, it furnishes Aid
and comfort to the enemy.

MCFARLAND ACQUITTED.-We are re-
joiced to learn by last evenings kilograms
that the jury in the case of Mcfarland, the
slayer of Richardson. have acquitted the
accused. This verdict is in strict accordance
with a sense of that stern justice which for
bids all men from daring to interpose between
man and wife. 1t is not to be doubted that
the victim of McFarland's just Arrangement
did so inteJpose himself. Let all who would
destroy the happiness of the home circle and
put asunder man and wife to crafty their
lust, take warning from this terrible lesson.

THE OREGoN CAMPAIGN is the subject
of the following statements and com.
ments by the Salem correspondent Of
the Sacramento Union
The campaign goes on remorselessly
yet with the chances favoring the sue
cess of our side. Democracy is weak.
ened with dissatisfaction and DISCUS:
within the party, and there seems TO be
little excitement or enthusiasm felt. !
prophesy that light Democratic vote
will be cast, owing to the indifference
that prevails. On the other side, the
Republicans are harmonious, united and
enthusiastic. The State is going Re
publican at from 200 to 500 majority,
by present appearances. There will
probably be $4,000 votes cast. Many
new corners are entitled to vote this
year, and we calculate that six out of
ten are Republicans. To pronounce
that out of a voting population number
ing tens of thousands q little handful
will be a majority on one side or the
other, seems to be foolishness; but we
know the existing state of things we'll
enough to predict that the majority on
either side will be but small. At pres
ent the campaign is being carried on
east of the mountains, but the candi-
dates will soon finish their labors there
and appear here. We learn that Wilson
is too much for Slater. The last has
been declaiming for the reputation of
at least one third of the national bonded
debt, but in the meantime reputation
frightens them down here, and they are
it. This important plank of
heir platform will worry them to death;
for having placed themselves squarely
upon it, and many of the party voters
having declared for it, the consequences
IF past action cannot be shaken off by
present denials. They are in tight
,lace, Democrats are, and everything
their ruin. The Salem Press,
lnder the management of the ''associa
ion of gentlemen ~ $50 cal!ed) as Ber-
ah Brown styles them, has proved to be
he most foul-mouthed and indecent
.dition of the Oregon style ever pub
ished. 1, is doing a good work in dis
,usting all good men by lis yileness.

FURTHER particulars of the terrible fire

FURTHER particulars Of the terrible fire
in Constantinople are to hand. The Lee
want Times, which has very full ac-
count Of the catastrophe, says that the
day will 90 down to all time as the most
disastrous ever experienced by the Frank
inhabitants Of the Turkish capital. The
origin OF the fire is now ascertained. A
woman had sent her child up stairs to
bring down manga" an open vessel
containing lighted charcoal, for the pur-
pose of cooking The mangal fell on the
stairs, window curtain caught fire, and
as the window was open, and there was
a strong wind blowing, the flames soon
spread Unfortunately the house was of
wood, and the street in which it was sit
uated was very narrow, and the other
houses were also of wood. la very
short time the whole neighborhood was
in flames. The combustible nature of
the dwellings that first caught, combined
with the rushing wind, which carried
large fragments of burning matter an in
credible distance, caused the extraordi,
nary spread OF the flames.

ZION, MATT. III. CARPENTER.

The recent action of Mr. NJ. II. Car"
oenter, u. S. Senator from Wisconsin, on
two important measures, we believe Is
contrary to the wishes and best interests
Of his constituents. We refer to hia
votes for the repeal of the income tax
law, and against the abolition OF the
franking privilege.
The House Of Representatives has had
before it for some time bill on the ln'
come tax question, that to US appears as
nearly perfect and equitable as any act
ever passed, and which it was hoped
would become law This bill provides
lor an exemption Of $4,000 per year. ez>
elusive of house rent and some other
things, which in many cases would make
tie total exemption about $500; yearly
incomes above that amount being subject
70 tax Of 3 per cent Such a tax could
not possibly be oppressive, as 1t would
apply to none but wealthy persons, who
are able to pay Two thousand five huns
dred dollars is sufficient to provide for
all the necessities Of any ordinary Amer
lean family Those whose living costs a
greater sum, must indulge extensively IN
the MruricS Of life, which everybody ad.
mits are the proper sources from which
revenue should be drawn Such an IN
come tax as proposed by the House bill
would not affect more than one IN live
hundred Of the citizens Of Wisconsin
that one, being rich compared to his
four hundred and ninety,nine fellows
citizens, should certainly not complain
that he is compelled to pay a greater tax
than they. Air. Carpenter, aud those who
voted with him, when they voted to repeal
aIl income tax, have voted in the inter"
eet OF the one man and against the four
hundred and ninety mine and thereby
violated and reversed a vital principle OF
Republican government, in not securing
3" the greatest good to the greatest
number
Mr. Carpenters action in so strongly
opposing tho abolition Of the Thanking
privilege, We do not deem so important a
mistake as that on the income tax guess
ton Yet Il was Il mistake, for unques'
tionably the repeal Of the privilege ID
demanded by 4 large majority of his con-
stituents. Had he labored and voted t.
perfect the bill, and finding that imprac
tcable then voted against it, no one
could question the correctness Of his
position, AS all who are acquainted with
the provisions of the bill which Mr., Car
peuter labored to defeat, admit it very
defective, and that it ought not to be pass
I'd unless materially changed But Mr..
Z. directs his efforts, not against the bill
no it stood bat against any bill that might
look to the abolition Of the frank; and
therein we think he assumed . position
diamorical to the wishes Of large ma
iogity Of the people.
