ANOTHER TRAGEDY-A prominent physi.
clan of Chicago, named s. E. ScanIand, was
shot and instantly killed by his brother.n-
law, p. A. Leonard, on April 9TH. 1t appears
to be another Crittenden-Fair matter. The
excuse for the killing is that DIR. Scanland had
neglected his family, and was guilty of an i'm.
proper intimacy with Mrs. Laura Wilson
Farrar, the fair but frail wife of prominent
Chicagoan. and lady moving in the upper cir
Giles of society

MUNTANA ITEMs.-The following items are
taken from our Montana exchanges:
A couple of weeks since, a soldier named
Shultz, while intoxicated rode his horse in full
gallop to saloon in Bozeman City and in 60
ing under the awning he struck his head against
one OF the timbers, fracturing his skull, from
the effects OF which he died shortly afterwards.
A large number of houses are to be erected
in Bozemnn City during the Spring and Sum-
mer, and among them several fine bricks.
A chinaman named All Sing was shot and
killed at Blackfoot, about two weeks ago. bv

originated ina dispute about water.

CHINESE TO BE EMPLoYED.-The proprie-
tors of the principal Pennsylvania coal mines
contemplate the employment of Chinese labor
ers in place of white men, The owners of the
mines formed a combination with the railroad
companies bye which the latter raised the
freight tariff on coal over their roads to such
an exorbitant figure as TO cause the recent coal
panic in the eastern cities for the purpose of
aiding the mine proprietors in breaking up the
Miners Uniop,p and to bring about reduc-
ton in the wages Of miners. Thus far they have
been unable to accomplish their purposes, but
how soon the miners will be compelled to yield
to reduction of wages it is difficult to say.
1t is only question of time, as the introduc-
ton of Chinese labor in the coal fields of Penn
.sylvania will compel the present operatives to
submit to the grinding tariff of wages proposed
by the mine proprietors or they will be COM
PEELED to give way to "Chinese cheap labor"
They have no alternative Under Radical
administration of affairs, white labor will not
be protected from the competition of Chinese
and the only hope Of salvation for the laboring
classes throughout the whole country lies in
the accession to power of Democratic AID.

ARIzoNA.-Fr letter written to Mr.. w.
II. Tincher, of Centerville, by gentleman
living In Arizona, who was formerly an old
resident of Boise Basin, we learn few items
from that section:
The writer states that he had been down to
Tucson, about three hundred miles south of
Prescott, near the Sonora line, and says II
don't go much on the southern part of the
Territory They have struck some very rich
rock here since left, and am going out in
few days to look after some feet that have.
The Indians are very troublesome and their
depredations appear to be on the increase.
Many persons have lost their lives, and it is
not safe to trayel unless large parties go to-
gether. The red devils are constantly engaged
in running off stock, and horses and mules are
an unsafe investment in that country. ~

DIsGUsTING.-Alany of the leading Calitor-
MIA papers appear to devote about half their
columns to the disgusting details of the Crit
tenden-Fair case, now on trial in San Francis
co. 1t was reported short time ago that the
notorious Mazeppa had ceased publication. 1t
is not to be wondered at that such paper
could not thriye,-being issued Oh such small
.scale,-especially when the leading and So
called first class journals have entered the field
rs competitors in that peculiar style of litera-
ture. The Bulletin, Call, Chronicle, and even
the Union, appear yieing with each other as to
which can most successfully pander to the pri-
rient tastes Of the most vulgar classes of Cali
fornia society. The publication of such dis
gushing. indecent and demoralizing stuff as the
letters which passed between Crttenden and
Mrs. Fair may be acceptable to the demi-m0nde
readers of those journals, but it certainly is
not that kind OF reading matter which any de-
cent man would like to see laid before men,
bers of his family for perusal. There can be
no excuse for those journals dishing up such
literary filth and garbage. The publication of
the letters referred to can do no possible good.
It certainly is not in turtherance of justice,
and the only plea they can make in justiica-
ton is, that popular clamor, or, more correctly
speaking, the vulgar curiosity of the low-hung
and depraved classes of society. who relish
such nastiness, requires such literary emolli.
ent- But in administering it in that form they
disgust their better class of readers, and de.
grade respectable journalism by initiating the
style of 1MaSeppa or Days Doings.

visited this County often. and remained

no danger that Giles will be molested
by the white people of Union BE is
as sale hore. go far us danger from the
Democrats is concerned, na he WIS in

his safety from the intentions of the
Radical party. We believe the leaders
OF thnt party have determined to .pnt
this County under martial law, with o
selected garrison and commander to exc
cute that law, who will incarcernte, or,
perhaps, hang" two or three hundred
Oemocrnts to prevent their voting; and,
If the people Of the County do not give

conrse Of procedure, some unfortunate
coiored man of their party will be msie

The. Radicals do not forget how much
good the murder OF poor Randolph did
Tor their party, and having the materials
IN that party 30 admirably suited for
such vile acts, II creased with O few
greenbaoks, we shall not he surprised If
some such diabolcal deed was ,,oom-
mitted. We know this is avery serious
inslnuation. but we cannot divest our
self OF that belief, that Randolph was
30 sacrificed for party ends; and, If they
will do it once, we believe they would
be likely to repeat the crime when they
see greater danger of defeat s.aringthsm
in the face.

FRENoH WAR HIsToRY.--An important
statement has just been made in the
French; papers. relative to an alleged
offetF made by Russia to the Empress
Eugene, just after Sedan, to intervene
in the contest and protect the territorial
integrity of Ernnce: The, story goes on
to say that the moment the Republic
was declared that the offer was peremp-
torily. withdrawn. Alexander thinking
that if Frhpse has to be a republic. the
more limited her area the better. It is
'fuirisher said that jules Favre and ull the
members Of the revolutionary govern
mont knew OF this offer, which wasfonnd
in the Empress' papers after her flight.
rhs authority for thia extraordinary
story is the alleged statement Of one Of
tha' Empcror's late ministers to M inter
viewer, aud reported letter Of the EN-
press. ] Che object of the publication OF
the atoty,hs this time is. doubtless, to:in-
jare the Republic by making it appear
