INDICTED AGAN.-Deputy United States Mar
shal, B. Akerman arrived here Friday of last
week to again arrest Sheriff jackson and take
him below for trial under another indictment
for collecting mining tax from the Chinese
Akerman informs us that the Indictment was
found on the goth of January last, but that the
business on hand prevented his coming sooner.
jackson being out collecting at the time of his
arrival, Alderman staid in town until Jackson
came in on Thursday last and voluntarily gave
himself into custody. They will start below this
Saturday morning. Upon the demurrer inter
posed in Jackson's behalf upon the same charge,
the United States District Court virtually deci-
ded the State Law levying this tax to be void
Unless his counsel find another flaw in the plead
ings, Jackson will undoubtedly be convicted, for
he will not pretend to deny the collection of the
tax. Our opinion is that an appeal will be ta-
ken from the United States Court at San Fran
cisco, and the matter will not be finally at rest
until passed upon by the Supreme Court of the
United States. Meanwhile, we presume the tax
will be generally collected in the mining coun-
ties because the State authorities will encourage
its being DONE

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

A SIGN THAT DON'T FAIL.-It has been fire.
ouently remarked this winter that ''all signs
fail in dry time,' and our experience for two
months past goes to verify the adago. Many
times this Winter have the weather-wise called
attention to atmospheric indications presaging
continued storms and with the first pattering on
the roofs our citizens would congratulate each
other on the prospect of good rain. In nearly
every instance so far we have been disappointed
having only light showers and the sun beam
ing out warm afterwards with frosty nights rem
dered what rainfall we had of little benefit Re-
Gently we heard one sign that it will rain all day.
that is claimed with some show of truth to be
unfaing. Last Monday it stormed nearly all
day, and the subject coming up in conversation
q resident of this place remarked that he knew
in the morning it would be a wet day by the
actions of his chickens. In explanation he
stated that he observed his chickens oil them
selves well and then go out to feed just as they
did in the finest of weather apparently paying no
attention to the storm. Our informant further
says that when the shower will prove to be of
short duration, his chickens seem to be aware of
the fact and accordingly seek shelter until it is
over. But on the contrary, when it will be rainy
all day they seem to know that too, and proceed
upon the plan that they might just as well face
the inclement weather at one time as another
Now, as nearly every one keeps chickens, the
conclusion will be naturally drawn from the
above facts that we can tell more about rainy
weather by watching our chickens, than by
scanning the heavens.

SUDDEN AND SINGULAR DEATH.--The most
singular accidental death we have been called
upon to note occurred at Junction City on Fri
day of last week. Martin Strasen, while work
ing in shallow bed rock ditch on the Haas &
Hager claim just above Junction City, was
caught by triangular piece of bed rock of no
very great size weight, that slipped down
from one side of the ditcn. The ditch was about
five feet deep, and the descending mass sliding
about two feet struck him with the sharp edge
in the small of the back, wedging him forcbly
against the opposite bank, and instantly expel-
ling the breath from his body. Mr.. E. Flynn,
who was near by in the same ditch heard the
noise of the slide and instantly called out but
receiving no reply, hastened to see what was
the matter. He found the unfortunate man
standing as we have described, with his face to
the wall with his shovel handle in his left hand
as though he was about to use it or put it away
and already black in the face. Flynn immedi-
ately removed the rock, but life was extinct and
there is no doubt that death occurred instantly
Upon examination no bones appeared to be bro
ken. The deceased was brought to Weaverville
and buried last Sunday by the German Hospital
Society of which he was a member.

A COMPLAINING TAx-PAYER.--One incident
among the unwritten proceedings by and before
the Board of Supervisors last week, caused con-
siderable talk about town at the time but was
not chroniced in last weeks issue from press
of other matter. Mr.. H. Junkans, of this place,
appeared before the Board complaining as a tax
payer, that the per capita taxes had not been
faithfully collected during the past year, espe-
cially the Poll and Hospital Taxes, This he pro-
posed to show by facts occurring within his
knowledge and by figures. Sheriff Jackson be-
ing present, stated to the Board that the Mining
Tax had been collected by him to the best of his
ability, and offered to deputize Mr.. Junkans to
collect it if he thought he could do better. Con-
corning the Poll and Hospital taxes Mr.. jackson
said that he had entrusted their collection to O
Deputy and had no personal knowledge of the
manner of their collection. The Board being
advised that the charges preferred were of
criminal character and that they had no author
ity in the premises, took no action thereon.
The taxpayers of the county are more interested
in its finances than any other persons. 1t is
their right and duty to insist upon diligence and
economy in the collection and disbursement of
the county revenues.

ERRATUM.-In copying the proceedings of the

the contrary that Fund has oeen abolished.

"TBE WEST CeAsr SiGNAb.''---By the last
mail from Humboldt county, we received a spec
linen copy of the above weekly, the first num-
Der of which was to be issued on the 18th in
stant, at Eureka, by David E. Gordon, editor and
proprietor. 1t is somewhat larger than the Jour-
NAL, of exceedingly neat typographical appear
ance, and is furnished at the exceedingly low
price of So per year. In his "Greeting' Mr..
Gordon says
The Signal will be a newspaper. It will not be
a political organ, nor will it eschew the discus
sion OF politics when the time and occasion re-
quire it. And here let me say that while it
shall be my chief aim to make it an attractive
newspaper, shall also assert the privilege of
speaking my own feelings in matters political.
DO not barter away my political opinions when
receive the price of years subscription 1t is
unnecessary to tell the people of Humboldt coun-
ty that my politics are Republican-that next to
my reverence for religion is reverence for true
Republican principles. And when occasion re-
quires me to take sides, l shall certainly take
the Republican side.
No one in Trinity will doubt that for mo-
ment. During the fourteen years that Dave was
resident of this county, there never was
time but what his standing was known he was
always found to be an able and courteous advo-
cate of his principles and the welfare of the people
We congratulate the residents of Humboldt upon
the valuable exponent of their interests which
we are certain they will have in the Signal, and
wish that our old friend and citizen may sue
ceed to the greatest of his expectations.

TIE SOUTHERN PEOPLE.-Senator Sawyer,
now in the Z. S. Senate, from South Carolina,
The is native, we believe, of Massachusetts,, )is
telling his political friends some things, which
they ought to heed, and which we are glad to
sec coming from his side Of the house. In q
recent speech, speaking Of the people of the
South he said:
He ehorrcd secession as much as any one,
but knowing that these people thought they
were right, now that they were conquered and
their political hercsies utterly obliterated, he
could not follow the example of others and Hip
PANTY hur at them the epithets Of rebel and
traitor He could not denounce them because
they would not repent BECAUSE Us they bellcv-
ed they were right they had nothing to repent
Of They fought for the principles which they
had been educated from infancy to implicitly
accept, and there were us brave and honorable
men in the Confederate army as ever drew Il
sword or lifted musket.
Again, in commenting upon the reports Of
alleged ''outrages' in the South, he said:
Much had been said, here and elsewhere, as
to the inclination Of the>Southern people to en-
ter into another rebellion But he would tell
Senators there was not one word OF truth 1t in.
In the face OF their manned sous, their desola
ted "reminiscences their ruined homes, their de-
vastated fields no such foolish idea could be
entertained by them for a moment. He did
not think that any of the disturbances in the
South originated from hostility to the General
Government, but that they were inspired by
disafection to the local governments. And
why? Because the men who were most fitted
by education and position to take part in the
affairs of State were excluded from all partici-
patton Through this cause it could not be
denied that men of an inferior moral and intel
leetual stamp had been elected into public posi-
tons.
VIII not such declarations from one who
knows-who is himself Radcal-havc some
effect upon those who seem bont upon prosecu-
ting and presenting the Southern people?
