Death Oh a non,s Evidence.

The Paris correspondent OF the Pail
Mall Gazette says; An extraordinary
scene has just been enacted before the
Court of Assizes at Agen. 1t NAV be
remembered that few months AGO n
rural postman, called Mano, was tried
for the murder of his father, mother
and two children, and was sentenced
to hard labor for life. Had the evil
dence against Mano not been of tbe
most slender description he would
naturally have been condemned 10
death. The jury were at the same time
Mortified at the atrocity of the crime.
but not thoroughly convinced TINT
ManO was the assassin, and hence thew
delivered verdict which did not hermit
OF the Judge awarding capital punish.
ment. Mano set up an alibi. and he
certainly proved this much, that
very late at night he threw him.
self on some straw in an onthouse ri a
village distant nine or ten miles from
tine scene of the crime, and that he was
found asleep early next morning in the
same place. IL was considered almost
impossible that Mano could have gone
home, have murdered five persons
have returned TO the clubhouse. and
nave fallen asleep between the time no
was seen turn IN for the night, and tue
hour at which he was aroused
the next morning. The only
evidence against Mano was gwen
by his son Bernadin. n lad
of about 10 years of age. Bernardin
said that he was in bed with his
younger brother when his father came
into the house in the middle of the
night, and he heard cries of murder
His father came aud looked at him. but
he pretended to be asleep, and after
ward he saw Mano hiding his trousers.
1t turned out, however, that Bernardin
had for a long time declared he knew
nothing of the affair, and it was only
several months after the crime had
been committed that he told this tale.
Mano, considering that he had been
uniHstly condemned, appealed, and
now higher court has sentenced him
to death on his sons evidence.
The scene in court the day before yes
terday was most dramatic. Bernardin
was Ill, and had to be placed on the
bench so that the President might hear
his replies. He was then taken TO the
jury box, and repeated his evidence in
a feeble voice. To the establishment
of the court he admitted then that his
cousins, Maurice and Martin Mano had
told him to tell the above story con-
corning his father. Before the lad
could be further questioned he was
taken suddenly worse, and had to be
taken out of court. Yesterday he
again made his appearance and was
evidently in a state OF high fever. How
ever he repeated his story The Presi.
dent said ''No one told you to saw
this ~ Bernadin replied, "No. =
President" Yesterday, when you said
that they had told you what to say il
was because You were fatigued and
suffering from fever2" Bernadin-
Yes, Nj. lie President. Upon tins
evidence Mano was condemned to
death.

Trouble with Bruin---HOw Grizzly
Dispersed Il Man, Two Mules, and d
Wagon.

From the San Bernardno tCal.) Guardian,
Last Monday MIR. GarvCy started
from the Green Lead to Los Angeles.
and, after travelling as far as Sulphur
Springs, stopped to rest his animals
and TO eat his lunch. While hitching
up his team to start, when fastening
the last trace, he looked around, and.
Immediately behind the wagon saw n
huge bear with two cubs approaching
toward him. The mules saw the bears
at the same time, aud started of. Mr.
Garvey got partly into the wagon, but.
unfortunately, without the lines. The
mules ran around steep bluff, tipped
the wagon over, broke the king bolt.
and finally got away attached TO the
fore-wheels. The bears, on hearing
the noise and racket, started for the
woods, and also succeeded in getting
away. Mr. Garvey, after recovering
presence of mind, started to Mr..
Browns, on the Mohave River, dis
lance of fifteen miles, and arrived there
after night, almost lead. Next day.
with the assistance of James Brown,
he succeeded in recovering the team,
which was still attached TO the wheels,
and some ten miles from the grizzly

THE NATIONAL CAPITOL.

The project for the removal OF the
Federal Capitol from Washington to some
point in the Mississippi Valley is again
being agitated. But the spirit which
prompts the taxation of the agricultural
South and West for the benefit of the
North aud East, Will show itself in q
deadly hostility to any such project 1t
should DO remembered that the geo.
graphical center of the country is
even farther west than the point at
which it is now proposed tc locate the
seat of the National Government. New
York will be especially hostile to the
scheme laid down in the following para
graph;
The rapid growth of the country will
soon demand it, if, indeed, it does net
already, and should such a movement be
practical there are millions in the South
and West who would advocate it at once.
thiok it would be one of the browning
exploits Of our Government to consum-
mate such removal and convert the old
Capitol into an emigrant depot, with suf-
iicient railroad and land communication
to the Atlantic coast to make it most EN-.
phatically and exclusively safe goal fol
the thousands who are yearly seeking
homes in the Western world 1t would
be not only a humane and benevolent
project to keep the unprotected from the
runner and ruffian of the port of New
York; it would also be safe financia
investment to the Government, and re
dound to the honor and glory of Ameri
can freedom.

The Missouri newspaper publishers
have been holding Convention to take
into consideration their business inter
ests. Among other matters brought be-
fore the Editorial Association was the
following resolution, which was intro
duced by Mr.. Dcran, of the Lexington
Caucasian, and adopted by the Associa-
ton:
l. That n newspaper Office is bust
ness establishment, by which editors
and printers must make a living. ,.
That a man has the same right to walk
into grocery store and order a barrel of
sugar or u sack of coffee, or into law
office and demand legal opinion from
its occupant, or into an undertaken S and
request coffin, without expecting to
pay for their respective wares or ser
vices, as into newspaper office and de-
mand the use of its brains and muscle
and type, without n thought of recon-
pense. 3. That hereafter all personal or
political matter, having for its object the
promotion of individual fortune or am
bition, shall be treated exactly as other
business matter, and charged, at the OPP
ton of publishers. as editorial advertis-
ing. l. That dead-beating-political,
personal and commentator the Mis-
souri press, is played out" 5. That
any editor or publisher who fails to carry
out these resolutions in the letter and
spirit shall cease to be regarded as q
member of this Association.
In the presentation of such q resolu-
ton Mr.. Doran showed a full apprecia-
ton of the situation, and its adoption by
an Association representing the press of
Missouri gave additional proof, were any
needed, of the force and truth of the
principles therein enunciated. The fore
going rules should be adopted by every
newspaper in the land, and, furthermore,
should be cherished in the memory OF
every man who has business with the
newspaper publishers,

A BLOODY Row AT PIoCHE. - dis

bloody row which occurred in that town

ceived ball in the hip, the wound re-
ported not serious At this iuncture the

THE Silver State is as philosophical as
could be expected over the removal of the
county seat of Humboldt from Unionville
to Winnemucca. We copy from the issue
of the 9th the following:
The location of the county seat is per-
manently settled. The great bone of
contention between Northern and South
ern Humboldt is disposed of effectually.
Winnemucca has won the prize-not by
fair expression of the will of the people
interested, but by the Act of corrupt
Legislature, which among other deeds Of
infamy, swindled the public schools out
of $4,000. The removal of the county
seat does not excite as much comment
and is not so much regretted by our citi-
liens, as the manner in which It was ac-
complished With
this issue our connection with the Silver
State ceases. 1t is probable that the
paper will hereafter be published at the

nitely determined. And now, with "A
