CALIFORNIA OBITUARY,

The San Francisco NeaUs- Letter SAYS.
Boddlepopster is deadl That bare an
nouncement will plunge the city into I'M
speakable gloom. The death of Boddle-
popster was most untimely; he should
have died twenty years ago. Probably
no man of the day has exercised so pecu
liar an influence upon society as the de-
ceased. Ever foremost in every good
work out of which anything could be
made, and unstinted dispenser of every
species of charity that paid commission
to the disburser. Mr.. Boddlepopster was
a model of generosity, and weighed at
the time of his death one hundred and
ninety odd pounds.
Originally born in Massachusetts, but
for ten years resident of California and
partially bald, possessing a cosmopolitan
nature that loved York Smelling as well,
in proportion to its value, as a Mexican
dollar, the subject of our memoir was
one whom it was an honor 10 know, and
whose close friendship was a luxury that
only the afhuent could afford. 1t shall
ever be the writer's proudest boast that he
enjoyed it at less than half the usual rates.
MIR. B. was the founder of the now ia
nous Boddlepopster Institute, and for
some years preceding his death suffered
severely from soft corn, which has pro-
baby done as much for agriculture as
any similar concern in the foothills of our
State.
In 1868 he was elected an honorary
member of the Society for the Proven
ton of humanity to Mongolians, and but
for the loss of an eye in carrying out
its principles, would have been one of
the handsomest whites that ever resided
among US. There is little doubt that be
might have aspired to any Office in the
gift of the people, SO universal was the
esteem in which he was held by those he
voted for. His last words, as he was
snuffed out, were characteristic of the
man; he remarked. "Fetch me that cat
nip teal The cat nip consolation arrived
too late to be of any use; he had gone to
the devil. Farewell, noble heart, pure
sOnl, bright intellect! We shall meet
AGAIN.

Words of Warning to Nashville.

Words of Warning to Nashville.
To the Editors Of the Union and American:
GALLATIN, Tenn, March 81, 1871.-I
regret to see that so little interest il bsing
taken by your people in the proposed
railroad connection of Nashville and Gin
cinnati by means of the Cumberland and
Ohio Railroad via Gallatin. Are your
merchants and property holders given
over 10 blindness9 You allowed your
selves to be fa1aked by the Memphis
branch of the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad on the north, and now traveller
from West Tennessee, or Mississippi, or
Arkansas, Texas or Louisiana is as scarce
in Nashville as ''hen's teeth" Now let
me give you word of warning. If you
fail to take advantage of the present
chance to bring the Cumberland and Ohio
road via Gallatin to your city, why, good
bye to your commercial prospects The
road will take chute somewhere else,
possibly to Murfreesboro, and leave you
high and dry. You are already fanked
on the north, and you will be on the 9th,
er side when you wake up, and right
soon at that Are you all given over 70
old fOgyGOnl? 1t seems to me that you
are in the condition of the wagner in
Esop's Fables. You are constantly calling
ouJupiter to help you get your wagon out
of the mud instead of putting your own
shoulder to the wheel.
Well, the matter has been explained
fully to you. Shut your eyes "a tight as
you wish, and some fine morning you
will wake up and see it announced in your
morning paper-and in q very few
more days-that you have lost a road
that might have made you rich, and the
loss of which will make you poor. B.

To the Editors Of the Union and American:
TBIUNE, March 30, 1871. DO you have
any desire to know anything about our
very quiet little village of Triune. l
say quiet; let me see-yes, we have
one of the quietest little villages
anywhere in seven States. No
quarreliDg, no fighting, no midnight
msrauders, who go about and disturb the
quietude of the public peace, and plenty
is always with US, and if you do not be-
lieve NE, ask your agent, A. E. s., who
was in our midst some time ago, and if
he does not cOrrobOrate with my state
ment, why come and see for yourself.
You need not have any fears. The snake
panic has long since subsidized. Triune is
comparatively speaking, a small burg,
one hundred inhabitants, two dry goods
houses, one cabinet shop, one blacksmith
shop, tailor shop, two churches, and one
TO be built soon, and one grog shop; and
outside of all this, we have one pil
driver, who l heard say some time ago
pill driving was getting to be slow go,
which goes to show We are all in good
health. The forests have put on their
beautiful foliage of green, and reminds
us of the fact that spring is in
our midst again. The farmers are
going ahead, some planting, some prepar.
ing and will commence soon. There will
not be much cotton planted in this sec
ton, owing to the very low prices. Some
have turned their attention exclusively to
grass, which think no bad idea, as we
can boast of as fine blue grass region as
any in the Stale. Wheat is looking fine
and promises fair yield, and also fine
prospect for fruit. We have tri-weekly
mail, and when it comes there is a gen.
eral rush for the ''People's Paper"
Every one takes the Peoples Paper.
Send it along. May success crown your
efforts is my wish. F.

On the night of March "a, G murder
was committed in DeKalb county, under
the following circumstances Some eight
or niue persons went to the house of a
Miss Hargis and Miss Stroud, and also
to the houses of two negro families, for
the purpose, as is said, of breaking them
up, it being alleged that they were dis
reputable houses. The negro houses
were burned, and also the house occupied
by Miss Stroud. Miss Hargis attempted
to resist the depredators, when she was
fired upon and instantly killed. The
party also shot at and dangerously
wounded man named Martin, who they
supposed had recognized them. Mr..
Martin recognized several members of
the Radical party in the company. War
rants have issued, and the officers are in
hot pursuit.

The editor of the Akron Tunes en-
deavored to obtain an expression OF
the ladies on the all-absorbing, all inn
portant question as to ''who is the
handsomest man" in that thriving
young city, and offered a valuable pre-
MUM of "handsome gilt-edged, rui-
fed front, back-action meat chopper
to the gentleman who should receive
the highest number of testimonials OF
his beauty. After receiving several
score of responses from the fair ones,
the question remains as far from being
settled as in the outset, and, judging
from the diversity of ofopinions express
ed that locality is overstocked with
beauties. The Times notes as among
the curiosities elected by this CORES
pondence the fact ''that in all the
letters received from married
ladies, but three mention the
names of their own husbands, as en-
titled to the prize. Another is, that
out of fourteen letters received from
widows, none mention the name of
widower."
tits stongly suspected that the editor
of the Times had personal stake in
this matter, but, strange to relate, but
one correspondent, and she a wee ten
pear old, goes her pile on the said ed
itor. If Ever-it should be his desire
to change his state of single blessed
ness, evidently he will be under the
necessity of getting out of that meek

Siuce it is understood that there is a
tie in the Senate of this State, the
newspapers have been discussing the
conundrum, whether the Lieutenant
Governor has a vote in the enactment
of laws. The following from the
Cincinnati Enquirer is quite clear and
to the point:
Every Lieutenant-Govern from
Mediu to Lee inclusive, has held that
the presiding officer of the Senate had
no right TO give the casting vote to
make up legal quorum to pass law.
This has been the practical Getermina-
ton of the question. 1t has been held
that the provision requiring majori-
ty of all the members elected to each
House to pass o law modified the 9TH
er provision giving the Lieutenant
Governor the casting vote in certain
contingencies. That has been the un-
VARYING practice. The two provisions
of the Constitution in that view are
harmonious. Otherwise they are in
opposition, and the legal rule is to
harmonic statutes. Ii the Lieuten-
ant Governor has the legal right to
vote in all cases where there is a tie,
he could and would vote for United
States Senator. Does the Chronicle
believe that he could do that? Did it
ever hear of a Lieutenant-Goyern
voting for Senator?

MORMON TROUBLES.
BRIGHAM MULcTED.

SALT LAKE, October 27-In the
case of Mrs. Cook VS.. Brigham Young
the jury this morning returned ver-
dict for the plaintiff in the whole
amount of her claim, with interest,
making total of S2,9S6. There were
MormoDs as well as Gentiles on the
jury. The defence gave notice of a
new trial.
The Mormon papers are mild. The
Netcs says in the crusade against the
Mormons, the Government and people
are to be sincerely pitied. uaoi
The Herald discusses the Mormon
problem, and says it is grave error
to suppose that upon the conviction of
prominent Mormons the Mormon peo-
pie generally will disclaim polygamy,
or that if the Government send here
troops enough, they will give up their
faith. Neither this nor any other re-
Iigious belief can be crushed out, says
the Herald, by any government on
earth. The Utah Ring and the Ad-
ministration cannot uproot Mormon
ism. ~
1t is said and admitted by promi-
nent Mormons that Brigham Young
has applied to the Hon. VIM. M. Ev-
arts for his services as counsel to de-
fend him (Brigham) on the indictment
of the present Grand Jury.
John Meacham, a well known Nor
mon, charged with the murder of
Richard Yates, some twelve years ago
was arrested by the United States
Marshal at Round Valley yesterday,
and brought to the city this evening.
There are fumors of trouble to-mor-
row, upon the occasion of the sentence
of Hawkins for adultery. The wo-
men seem to be most excited. Threat
ening letters were received to-day by
the United States Marshal.
Brigham Young left the city day
before Yesterday, and was reported
last night at Battle Creek. Geo. Q.
Cannon is also absent, said to be at
San Francisco. Something important
is evidently on hand among the Nor
mons, but the Gentiles generally do
not believe any resistance to the law
or Government is meditated.

Arrest of Counterfsiters.

A New York telegram, of the 9th

The arrest of counterfeiters, yester-
day., was the most important ever
made in this country. Ballard is the
only man outside of Government en-
plOy who knows the secret of manu-
featuring the government fiber paper.
The material captured includes ten
thousand dollar transfer press, believ-
ed to be the only one outside of the
Treasury Department; full sets of
steel and copper plates for: one thou
sand, ten, twenty and two dollar bills ;
also full sets OF plates for fractional
currency, a stamp for the Treasury
seal, fac simile types for raising the
number of notes, and $4,000 in coun-
terfeit money.
