BoDY FOUND.-Austin has been in
suspense for some time about a Mrs.
Stapleton, who disappeared on the 14th
of February last. The Reveille of
Tuesday says hat the body vas dis
covered on Monday last, by an Indian,
about one mile east of Austin. Four
men proceeded to the spot, a ravine
about three quarters of a mile east
from the Summit, and there, on the
snow, her face lying on her arm, they
found the dead woman, whom they
had no difficulty in identifying as Mrs.
Stapleton. The Reveille thinks it is
more than probable hat the unfortun-
ate woman, whose mind was some
what unhinged since the tragic death
of Stapleton, wandered off during the
severe weather of February and there
fell and died from exhaustion.

San Francisco, April 19.-Negotla-

entire valley of San Andreas and the

county, into q grand reservoir overten
miles long, of all the creeks on the
ocean side of Sierra Moreno as far
south as PeScadero, to provide sum
Gent water for the use of San Fran
cisco in the dryest easons. This
would cover entire the Crystal Spring
property. a dam one hundred yards
long across San Mateo creek, in the
valley between the Springs and San
MateO, would be sufficient.
Machinists and scientific uIen who
have examined the plan of the ma
chine invented or perfected by Carl

Sierra.Nevada, are satisfied that 1t VIII
accomplish the work with
pied rapidity and render the gigantic
undertaking a matter of compare

the excavations for the foundation OF
the new City Hall, on the Ierba
Buena Plaza. They eXhumed among
other things the body of a Pioneer,
name unknown. buried in his ordinary
business suit, in h pockets OF which

CARPET-BAGGERs AND SCALAwAGs.
The Louisville Courier-Journal thus
defines the .'terms and things" named
above:
The carpet-bagger is an adventurer
who came to the South in quest OF
booty, and, expecting to be supported
bv force of arms. has pursued the en-
terprise that brought him, without
much regard to decency. The scala,
wag is the native cheat who was loud
for secession when the enterprise
seemed to be promising, who fell on
the other side when the tide turned,
and who has made himself offlcious
as a prosecutor ever since the war.
The terms and the things they signify
belong to the fungus systems set up
in the South by Congress, and held
together, not by organic or even rec
ognized laws, but by bayonets.-

ship informs US of a series of outrages
perpetrated upon Sherwood and fam
ily, on the Middle Yuba river. \
short time ago the guy ropes of one of
the derricks in his claims We're cut,
and Mr.. Sherwood went to work the
next morning, and his oldest son was
engaged in hosting a load of light
gravel and clay, when the father took
hold of the rope attached to the dump
box, the guys gave way, and the boy
was thrown with violence to the
ground, the heavy mass striking with
in a few inches of his head. y few
weeks previous to this, a faithful
watch dog, that used to watch the
claims, was poisoned. At another
time a party, supposed to be the same
ruffians, discharged firearms around
Sherwood's house all night, and one of
the bullets passed into the building,
burying itself in the. wall a few inches
above the head of Mrs. Sherwood

"AD.u SEKoH."-Republican lou

.sADAM Standardization jour
mails are Just now actively engaged in
hunting up and rePublishing reports
of Ku kluX Outragrs in the South. 1t
is evident the editors of Republican
papers do not believe these stories,
and understand the object they are
expected t o attain, yet they continue
to reprint and comment on hem.
Some time ago the Macon Telegraph
and Messenger cooked up Il horrible
tale of Southern outrages for the ben
eft of Republican editors. and set it
afioat. The bait took. Republican
newspapers copied it everywhere, and
some of them appended feeling edito-
rails on the barbarity OF the tlendlsh
Southerners. for which this Macon
story served as a text. As the MARIA
tive reads. one Adam Sekoh, a loyal
Republican living in Georgia, was
taken from his home at night by a
band of Ku kluX. who whipped him,
skinned him alive. and finally burned
him at the stake, all because he was a
Republican. Sekoh, backwards, reads
..h0kes," and Adam is easily made to
read "a dam" Placing the words to-
gether, and we have IA dam hokes,'
lust what the story is. The Stockton
independent discovered the trick and
was not caught. but in the same issue
in which it exposes the hoax 1t pub
fishes a column of equally absurd re-
ports about Southern OutrageS. If the
Republican party cannot invent better
electioneering lodges than the ku
klux outrages it will certainly go 10
the walI.-[San joaquin Republican.

They were to be allowed to take out

Welded $1,000. In the hope Of renew
ing the lease they sunk some of the
specimens. which we're very rich, and
when it came to divide the specimens
aforesaid they were missing and one
of the parties was suspicionea. Hence
a suit was brought for a division of
the spoils. The trickiest II of the

THE SCHOOL QUESTION IN THE
SUPREME COURT.

d. Stoutmeyer, a colored boy sever
vaars of age. through his father and
natural guardian, Nelson Stoutmeyer,
Yesterday petitioned the Supreme
Court for a writ of mandamus COM
pelling James Duffy, NJ. C. Gardner,
and S. H. Wright, composing the
Board of School Trustees of this DIS
trict, to admit him (petitioner) to the
public schools, or show cause for re-
fusing such admission. h writ was
granted as to the latter sense, re
turnable within eleven days. 1t Will
be easy enough for the Board OF Irus-
tees to refer to Sec. 80 page 42b, stat
utes of lS64-5) of the School Law,
which reads as follows:
SEC. 50. Negroes, M~ongolians and
Indians shall not be admitted into the
public schools, and whenever satis-
factory evidence is furnished 10 the
Superintendent of Public instruction
to show that said prohibited persons
are attending such schools, he may
withhold from the district lf when
such schools are situated all share OF
the State school funds; and the super
intendent of Public Schools, Tor the
comfy in which such district is stu
ated, shall not draw his warrant IN
favor of such district for any expenses
incurred while the prohibited persons
aforesaid were attending the pubic
schools therein; provided, that the
Board of Trustees of any district, II
deemed advisable by them, may eS-
tablish a separate school for the edu-
cation of negroes, Mongolians anu
Indians, and use the public schoo.
funds for the support of the same.
Now, public schools are established
BY THE STATE, maintained by The
St tie, and can be abolished by the
Safe, at pleasure; and all the constl'
t~utional amendments that could bt
adopted from now till doomsday anc
all the laws hereunder that Congress:
could pass in an eternity. could no
affect the status of those schools mol
interfere to force Objectionable persons
into them any more than they coult
force Objectionable persons into a Ma
sonic Lodge. Nor al any law o
Congress compel the State or Coun
ty Superintendent to pay State money
to support mixed schools. The Boar
MAY, however, establish a separat
school for the education of negroes,
ETC., but, after all the trouble and e1
pense the negroes have put them to t
keep the school unadulterated, the
would wrong themselves and tn
whole white race by doing SO. We
