The G,OQI War.

The coal wal is raging vigorously at all
the coal centres and principal points of
distribution between the middlemen and
producers. The latter have the advantage,
and are using it, but thus far with more
forbearance thar was feared. The Della
ware and Hudson canal company have
added thirty cents to the present price for
the month OF February. This great coal
combination is meeting with vigorous OPP
position from the middlemen in New York
and Philadelphia, but We really do not see
how they can help themselves. If the Read
ing company owns all the mines in the
Schuylkill Valley, and also all the carrying
routes therefrom, it certainly has the power
to do as it pleases in this matter, provided
it keeps its operations within the bounds
of strict legality. Now is the time for the
owners of some of the fine coal deposits in
the Kanawha Valley, to shove their coal to
Richmond, and thence to the Northern
markets. This will be the most effectual
way to break the back of this monopoly.

RAY.-Last Spring a letter appeared
in the papers of California, addessed to
the postmaster at Santa Clara, and sign
ed Miss Emma Ray, of Massillon, Ohio,
asking about her father, who she stated
was in Santa Clara when last heard from.
She also stated that the family We're in
poor circumstances, and that some of the
children had been "put out" and i'm
plored the father to come home or send
for them. 1t now turns out that Ray
has been living at Calistoga, where he
worked as a carpenter afterward kept a
confectionery store, and was appointed
Deputy Postmaster. He made profess
sions of piety, and is reported to have
been about to marry respectable young
lady of the neighborhood. Mrs. Ray
happened to have an acquaintance in
California in the person of q clergyman,
who went to Calistoga last week, and
confronted Ray, who had previously made
affidavit that he "was not the man-nev-
er had WIFE" When cornered by the
preacher, however, he agreed to meet
him in Calistoga on Friday, and six
things up" But the citizens had COM
mcnced talking about new suit of clothes
for him he concluded he didn't want to
change his costume, and so "sloped."
And now the papers are requested to pass
him round once more.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

The TRIAL OF CURTIN.-San Francis
co had another farce, as the murder trials
of that city are truly said to be. The
'unwritten law" which gives father,
brother or husband the right to murder,
in cold blood, an alleged seducer, has
again been vindicated, and Thomas Cur
tin, who murdered a boy of nineteen years
for the alleged seduction of his daughtcr,
is declared by a jury of his peers to have
committed no crime. Doubtless there
are instances, and perhaps, many of them
where a man may be held justified in
taking the law into his own hands, but it
strikes us that this is not one of them.
1t was not deed committed upon the
spur of the moment, and in the excite
ment Of passion upon discovering for the
first time that the work of ruin had been
wrought; +; but after days and weeks in
which there was ample opportunity for
cool reflection, even if that opportunity
was not improved. 1t would appear from
the general result of such trials as if the
impression prevailed in the minds of
courts and juries that a woman could do
no wrong. That in such matters the
crime and the sin was wholly ..non ore
side, whilo the other was, by virtue of
its sex, endowed from the cradle with
naught but innocence and purity. Yet
this girl appears from the evidence to
have been the reverse of all this; female
hoodlum who used profane language in
the streets, got up rows with other girls
at places of amusement, and conducted
herself in such a manner that her father
thought seriously of sending her to the
industrial school. The acquaintance of
the alleged seducer was of her own seek
ing, and it would seem that she persist
emily sought his company. One would
naturally suppose that testimony of this
character would leave on the minds of a
jury some impressions that there had
been blame resting on the shoulders of
both the young people, but if so, it was
more than overpowered by maudin
sympathy which made them declare that
murder is not crime. The case was
tried before Judge Dwinelle, who when
the verdict was rendered, told Curtin that
che did not regret it," Such an express
sion, made on the eve of an election at
which Dwinelle was candidate for the
highest legal position in the State, has
without doubt lost him many vote, as
it should do.

STAGE RoBBERY.--The stage from
Yreka to Redding was stopped about 5
miles from the latter place on the night
Of the 9th inst, by four masked men,
who compelled the passengers to alight,
and then relieved them of their valua-
bles. They then took Wells, Fargo g.
Co.'s treasure box and told the passen-
gers to get on board and leave. The rob-
bers obtained between four and five
thousand dollars by the transaction.
Parties went at once in pursuit of the
robbers and one man was arrested and
brought to Shasta by VIM. jackson, but
no proof against him could be obtained
and he was discharged. Shasta county
is getting notorious for stage robbing
AS the extension of the railroad is defer
red to an indefinite time, it is probable
that her territory will continue to be q
favorite resort for knights of the road.
