SIsKIYoU NEws.-From the Yreka
Union of the 21st we condense the follow
ing:
at Fort Jones, on the 18th, Patrick
Markey, an old gentleman, was cut in the
neck with knife in the hands of Ned
Hunter, and now lies in a precarious con
dition. Hunter was arrested and in
default of $1,000 bail was committed to
Jail. :.
Matthew Smiths residence, on the old
French Ranch was destroyed by fire on
the night of the 18th, Smith being so
badly burned that he died at P NJ the
next day. He leaves wife and three
children.
Disable, one of the victims of the Sur
prise Valley shooting affray is dead, and
Powley's condition is considered precari-
Gus.
Sam Fair, the Sheriff of Siskiyou who
disappeared so mysteriously in 1859, was
seen and recognized by two former citizens
of Yreka in Central America, where he
passed under the name of j. W. Williams.
Fair died at Ilo, in Peru in April last.

VICTORY.

1t is time to build monument to the
Democratic party. An organization that
guarded the nations young gro@th from
conventional restraints and precocious ad-
vances In the science of government fit
only for maturer years and denser popula-
ton; that taught aud practiced the rigid
simplicity of character and habit which
argues and inculcates the theory Of severe
Ign equality among citizens, and that the
wand OF power is but the badge OF service
rendered the collective body that extend
ed the area of the Republic by the acqui-
sltion of the Floridas, the Louisiana pur-
chase, and the annexation of Texas, from
the great lakes to the gulf, and from ocean
to ocean, over lands upon which have
been erected twelve States of our Union
that now exist and from which as many
more yet nameless shall surely arise; the
party that names with its mighty dead the
names of Jefferson, Madison, Monroe,
jackson and Van Buren should not have
outlived its usefulness but deserves, never
theless, monument inscribed victorious.
1t has done mighty deeds, and is victo-
rious to-day in this that its principles live
and triumph under its baptismal name
Republican. The speech of the now
Governor-elect in San Francisco at the
opening of the late campaign was as demo-
cratic as Father Jefferson himself could
have desired, if we except the reference
to the famous resolutions of '98 and '99,
defining the powers and relations of the
State and Federal governments, and involv-
ing question settled and sealed by every
blood offering, and burnt offering, and sin
offering of the war.
Hail, Democracy! Unsullied victory
crowns your banner and names it "Repub-
lican" Your monument shall be the
Union you builded and could not destroy.

SHASTA COURIER.
SATURDAY MORNING. OCT. %. 1871.

a SUGGEsTIoN.-The Board of Super
visors met on Monday to canvass the vote
Of the county. The returns from all the
precincts were not In and the Board
adjourned until the following Monday,
the longest time allowed by law Under
the law at present, the Board is compelled
to meet on the Monday following an elec-
ton, and in large county like this it
almost invariably happens that one or more
precincts have net forwarded the returns,
and the Supervisors have the trouble and
expense Of their journey for nothing
We would suggest then, that Shasta be
included with Trinity, Humboldt and
other counties which had the general elec,
tion law SO changed soae years ago, that
the Board is not required to meet until
the second Monday following an election.
In this way many useless journeys can be
saved.

SHASTA Town SITE.-We would again
call the attention of our citizens to the ad-
vertisement under the above head. 1t will
be seen that Judge Bush will on the Sth
of November be at the Shasta Land Office
prepared to give to citizens the deeds for
their lots. The county Judge acting at
the request of citizens and in conformity
with law, entered the land on which Shasta
is built and holds it in trust for the inhab-
itants. 1t will be seen that the matter is
one which will not brook delay and that
on the Sth day of December following, all
lots and parcels of land remaining unpaid
for, will be sold at public auction to the
highest bidder for cash. Secure your lots
then, without delay.

CoRoNER's INoUEsT-Justice Knox
proceeded TO Churntown on receipt of the
news that a man had been killed at that
place, and summoned jury of seve@ men
to inquire into the particulars of the kill
ing. The facts as sworn to before the
jury were substantially the same as we
published last week. The jury brought
in a verdict that the deceased was native
of ireland, about 40 years of age, that he
came to his death by shot from the hands
of n. w. McGee, who was acting in self
defence. The name of the deceased was
Jack Dalton instead Of "Bolan" as we
gave last week.

CHILD BURNED-To DIR. Saith and
JAG. Forster we are indebted for i forma-
tion of the particulars of most distressing
accident which took place at Cottonwood
on Sunday last. Little Hannah, daughter
OF Thomas Grey, ten years Of age, was
cooking at the stove when her clothing took
fire and although her cries of alarm brought
assistance almost instantly she was com
pletely enveloped in flames and so badly
burned, that after lingering thirty hours
death came to her relief She was con-
scious until the last, and after bidding her
friends good bye, expressed wish that
her school-mates might attend her funeral,
and passed away. 1t is sad occurrence.

highest degree in relation to the origin of

sion OF member of the society of interna-

that it was their third attempt to destroy
the city. He also says that George Fran
els rain is member of the society and
that in lecture at FarwelPs Hall on the
evening of the conhagratiou he came very
near betraying them, having made use Of
the following language;
"This is the last public address that will

RAILWAY LEGISLATION NEEDED.

Among the many important questions
which will come before the next Legisla-
ture, these are few in which the whole peo-
pie of the State will possess more imme-
diate and deeper interest, than the regula-
tion by law of railroad charges on fares and
freights The Central Pacific Railroad,
which is fast possessing itself of the lines
of land and water communication between
the metropolis and interior towns, will soon
have such monopoly of the carrying
trade, that it will, unless checked by lcgis-
lation. be able 10 lay tariff on travel and
freight which will work to the great detri-
ment Of those whose business interests are
located in such places as to be at the mercy
of that corporation. What we can ex-
pect from that corporation, may be judged
from the action which has already been
taken in relation to freights between this
place and San Francisco, as stated to US by
a merchant here OF long standing.
For some time prior to the consolidation
of the two railroad lines freight by steamer
to Red Bluff was at the rate of twelve dol
lars per ton, weight The custom prior to
that time had been to charge stated price
per ton, reckoning ton to be contained in
given number of square feet. Under the
weight system Northern merchants had no
reason to complain of being overcharged
on their shipments. But the carrying trade
having now all passed in to the hands of
the railroad line, it shows its grasping dis
position by at once raising the rates of
shipment to fifteen dollars per ton for the
lowest class of freight As we are inform
ed frei@ hts are divided into three classes
for which fifteen, thirty and sixty dollars
per ton are charged respectively. The cost
OF transportation on some articles as will be
seen by the above schedule, is five times
as great as it was under the former rates
Our readers need not be told that this extra
charge is paid, in the long run, by the
retail purchaser, thus making it matter
of interest to all to make common cause
against such exorbitant rates. This can
only be done by act of the Legislature.
In Placer, Nevada and e Dorado coun-
ties, the people have been groaning for
years under the exactons of the Railroad
monopoly, and have vainly tried through
their representatives, to obtain the passage
of law regulating fares and reights,
which would bring both down to living
rate. Mr. Neff, the newly elected senator
from Placer county. has pledged himself
to introduce bill to accomplish the desired
object, and we trust that when that meas
ure is brou ht up it will receive tie unan-
imous support Of the Northern members
