Homicide at Verde

Another one of those unfortunate disputes over business matters, wherein the revolver was called in as atbitcr, occurred at the Verde on sunday Tho parties to the controversy were partners on a "rm, whose names arc given as Henry Dawson and Peter Eich. The evidence before the Coroncr's Jury shows that misunderstanding, while thc parties were cndoayOrng Co perfect a settlement resulted in recourse to weapons, in which the dccelscd, Peter Eich, was thc aygrcssor. Two shots were fired by tue deceased aud three by Dawson, but it does not appear, in evidence that the latter was even wounded.
 The Jury returned a verdict In accordance with the testimony adduced and al subsequent ex. animation before the Justice, Dawsun was dis. chargcd-it having been proven to the sati.fic- ton Of thc Court that the homicide was justlhabc.

The San Francisco Chronicle of the sth, has this item:
 An eminent Russian civil engineer is at present in this city Investigating our mining resources, making assays, and procuring i'm, portant information on all points connected with our mining interests. He will visit the nrincipal mines in this state and Nevada, and may probably take trip to the new and rich mines now being worked and discovered in Utah.

We'll, he got <, ~wth a vengeance,'' as follows:
 We are opposed e t,,- introduction of Chinese labor in this city until it shall te shown that there is not enough American tabor to supply the demand; and by Ameri- can labor we mean the labor of all persons making their homes in the United States, and owing allegiance to its Government. We are opposed to the introduction of Chinese labor ca the mere ground Of cheapness. The fact that a Chinsmsn is content with poorer fare than aR American; that he has no family to support and no children to edu- cate, does not furnish sufficient reason for importing Chinese laborers. lf they come among us voluntarily there is no way to pre- vent them. They have the same rights un- der our laws and under the law of heaven that nll others have, and they must be pro tected m these rights at all hazards But we should look upon any concerted movement io bring them here as uuwise and impoltic. We hope it will not be attempted.
