GLEANINGS FROM EXCHANGES.
The Peruvian Government has or
dered the National Guards to remain un-
der arms, in anticipation Of disturbance
between the laborers and the Chinese. A
large number of Cinnamon have been
imported to Lima and the result there,
as everywhere, has been an antagonistic
feeling aroused among the native labor
ers of the country. The only tangible
property that the poor man has in any
country is his claim to labor. Work is
to him and his family bread. To import
servile labor and deprive him of it, is to
steal from him his only means of sup
port. he must starve or resist. It is
the logical result of Chinese immigra-
ton to produce riot and bloodshed. If
riots occur those who encourage this i'm
migration are alone responsible.
For the crime OF murder in the Sec
ond degree, committed in Ell Dorado
RADIO county, CAL, Hiram Palmer has
been sentenced to 25 years in the State
Prison. Palmer is rough but honest
looking man, 81 years of age. Last
New Years Day he killed an Indian
named Sam at Grizzly Flat. His version
of the affair is as follows: He was en-
gagged that day tending bar in saloon.
Indian Sam came in, slightly intoxicated,
and demanded some brandy. Upon be-
ing refused he made rush behind the
bar. Palmer intercepted him and drove

Palmer, and made pass at him with a
knife, when Palmer seized a butcher
knife lying back of the bar and stabbed
him. He complained bitterly of the
manner in which justice is dealt out in
Ell Dorado county. After he received
his sentence on Thursday and upon be-
ing taken to his cell be attempted to
commit suicide by butting his head
against the bars. He has several bruises
about the head which he received at that
time. Palmer threatens to carry out his
suicidal intentions. He reasons as fol-
lows: God is just, and I can get justice
from Him, If not from my fellow-man. +"
Palmer went to that State in 1854, from
Sandusky county, Ohio, where his father
is now living at the advanced age Of
ninety. eight years. He has lived nearly
all the time since at Grizzly Flat and
claims that aside from this charge,
there is not stain on his character.
By what means Mr.. Davis managed to
become President I never. exactly knew,
though I have learned through quite a
direct channel that he received for this
office in the convention by which he
was chosen majority of one vote only
over Howell Cobb, of Georgia. He was
only elected to the place Of Provisional
President. Had not hostilities actually
commenced at once, he would certainly
have been beaten in the popular election
which afterward occurred. 1t was, there.
