A HORRIBLE AFFAIR-In Gold Hill, Neya
da, two men named p. O'Rourke and G.. w
Prentice had difficulty in drinking saloon,
in which O'Rourke came out second best; and
after Prentice went to his room to go to sleep,
O'Rourke followed him and demanded fight
with pistols. Prentice, not being able to pacfy
him, finally told him he would go and get his
pistol and crafty him. O'Ronrke had his pis
tol in his hand and Prentice took up double
barrel shotgun, and walking out of his room
he met O'Rourk and turned both barrels OF
tina gun loose on him, striking him in the stom.
ach and cutting him nearly in two, blowing his
entrals, with strips of flesh and skin all over
the side of the hall. Notwithstanding the hor-
rible nature of his wounds, the man fingered
for about an hour before death put an end to
his sufferings. Prentice gave himself up to
the authorities, claiming that he acted in self
defence.

REMOVAL OF MEACHAM-The removal of
Mr. A. b. Meacham from the SuperintendencyIof
Indian affairs for Oregon, seems to have been
matter Of surprise to men of all parties in
that State. The Oregon papers of both politi-
cal parties differ as to the cause Of his remoy.
al, as he was known to be friend and admrer
of ex-senator Williams Of that State, and that
he labored earnestly for his reelection The
kalama wv. T.) Beacon takes the liberty of
dipping in" on the subject and suggests tho
following query:
How is his removal connected with the dishurso
ment OF that $500 that the Indian Department
sent, through the influence of (thenl Senator q. H.
Williams, for the osensibe object of removing the
Snake Indians from the Harvey Lake country'
The Indians were not removed, the money expend.
ed-and Meacham Is on his travels
II Meacham used the money to aid Williams
in his endeavors to secure reelection to the
Senate, he must have done so advisedly, and
in accordance with orders received direct
from headquarters at Washington. We know
Mr. Meacham personally, and, unless he has
changed greatly in the past eight or nine years,
if he is not an honest man and gentleman,
we don't believe there is one in his party. If
Williams made tool of him, and induced him
to use the government funds in his interests,
and to advance his chances for reelection, then
old "Flax brake" should be kicked out of his
recently acquired position, and Meacham got
but his deserts

A SLuR.-The Statesman of February both,
after INDUCING in about quarter of column
article, complimentary of Messrs. Bomar and
Morris, agent and superintendent, respectively,
of the Northwestern Stage Company, concludes
the column with the following fling at the Boise,
idaho and Placerville line. Matthews pack
train of one animals leaves daily att A. NJ, for
Idaho City, carrying the U. S. mail and Wells,
Fargo s. Co.'S Express" What complaint has
the Statesman against the Basin Stage line
The people up here make no complaint except
against the roads. We have been in Idaho q
little longer than the editor of the Statesman,
and can say that we have never before seen the
roads in as bad condition as they have been for
the past three weeks. We have considered
ourselves fortunate in getting mails at all. 1t
has been impossible for any kind of vehicle,
either on wheels or runners, to get over the
roads for q couple of weeks or more past; and
taking it through on pack animals only shows
that Mr.. Mathews, the proprietor of the stage
line, is disposed to accommodate the people in
this section in any way that he can. He has
not only forwarded our mails by "pack.train"
but he has, when the roads were in such con-
dition that horse couldn't travel, hired men
to carry the mail and express on foot to the
different mining camps. We are at loss to
account for this slur at the Basin line, as we be-
lieve that if any person had grounds tor com.
plant. it would be not our neighbor in the
valley, but we unfortunates who reside above
the snow line.

ALpkRMANIc CoNvICTs. The prosecu

being vigorously conducted. Four of them
have been convicted, and three of those are
now serving out their time in the county Jail
while the other, Burns, although convicted. has
been released until the next September term
OF the court. If the prosecutions continue, il
will probably be necessary to call special
election to fill vacancies, as the Board will, in

ELECTED BY BRIBERY.-The Bribery In
yestigation Committee recently appointed II
the Kansas Legislature, made report to tn
Honse, ON February oath, fully substantatinl
the charges made against Senator Caldwell
buying the position of United States Senator
The investigation has unearthed little more
bribery and corruption than was even anticl
pated by the movers of the resolution OF inqul
ry. The report which is very long, is signed
by every member of the committee, and char
qes bribery and corruption on both Caldwell
and ex-Congressman Clarke. 1t was also de-
veloped that in 1861 Pomeroy secured his
election to the Senate by the free use OF money,
and that Governor Curry and others were also
mixed up in the same corrupt transaction. Il
was clearly proven that Caldwell himself had
stated that his election cost him 100000, and
that he had offered to refund to Clarke, his
competitor for the position, all his expenses
if he (Clarke) would withdraw from the con-
test The report charges that Alexander

criminal practices by himself and his friends
with his full knowledge and consent, to secure
his election to the United States Senate" Fiji.

were ordered printed, anu it was also ordered
that copies of both be forwarded to each Kan

will permit a man of Caldwell's character TO

Senators are sailing in the same boat with Cald-

Senate by the same species of bribery aud cor

much decayed. but the skeleton indicated that

CoNsUMMATED.-The Statesman says that
the Supreme Court, after deciding the case Of
Lindsay vs. gryon in favor of the latter, then

for the adjournment Of that delectable body
for all time TO come. We were foolish enough
TO indulge in the delusions Of hope" to such
an extent as to believe THAT our supreme judi
cial tribunal, as at present constituted. was
elevated above the narrow-minded bigotry,
fanateism and craftsmanship which had hereto
fore distinguished not only that body but Radi-
cal Courts generally We cannot say, however,
that We have any reason 10 be surprised at the
nature of the decision announced. Radical
Courts have reversed the maxim, and ror
populi is not recognized as ror del Lewis aud
his negro West, have triumphed, and the peo-
pie are cocrced into submission. No Democrat

permitted by Radical Court TO retain his 20.
