OF the trial of Cockburn for the kill
ing of Chinaman, the Eureka Ssnt;aeI
of Aug. % says:
The jury in the case OF the colored boy
Cockburn, indicted for murder, in the
killing of one Chinaman and the serious
wounding of another on Ruby Hill a
short time since, failed to agree, and
yesterday morning was discharged. On
the final vote they stood eight for ac-
quittal to four for manslaughter. On
the first ballot, as We learn from one of
the jurors, there were seven for a verdict
of nlansiaughter, four for acquittal and
one blank. 1t was supposed the blank
ballot was cast by juryman, who, it
was afterwards ascertained could not
write. When the second trial of the
boy will be had We have not heard.
There is o strong feeling in the COM
Inunity in favor of his discharge, with
out further expense to the county. Ow-
ing to the fact that his victims we're
Cinnamon, it is extremely doubtful
whether a jury can be found that will
bring the defendant III guilty OF any
crime whatever.

TIE Humboldt Register thus sum

TEE Humboldt Register thus sum-
marily disposes of the notorious Cornu-
copia mining district:
The parties that left this place, last
week for the new Ell Dorado, Cornu-
copia, returned last Monday. The no
toriety which the district has obtained
through published accounts from specu-
lators and men interested are bogus.
There is but one mine there that has the
appearance of being worth anything.
That is Freeman's mine and that mine
has been jumped by one Wilson, and no
work is being done on it. There is but
six or eight tents in the place, and wood
is fifteen or twenty miles away. There
are not to exceed seventy-five mel in the
district, and the whole affair is a
swindle,

LIGHT SESTESCE.-Says the Humboldt
Register Of Friday:
Las. week the criminal case of All
Chew, Chinaman, for HOUSEKEEPING,
was tried in the District Court and a ver-
dict of guilty rendered by the jury. In
consideration of the youthfulness of de-
PENDANT, and recommendation by the
jury for the leniency of the court in pro-
nouncing sentence in the case, and in
consideration of petition to the Court
by the members of the Bar, and other
officers Of the Court, to similar effect,
the Judge gave the lightest, punishment
known to the Law, to wit: One years
imprisonment in the State Prison. The
other Chinese criminal cases were con-
tinUed for the term.

Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1873-08-31

IT Is Of the due course of things
pertaining to human nature for the
members of q family to lay the
blame of a common misfortune up
on one another and to seek for the
causes of their adversely in other
than the natural incidents and con-
tingencies of life. When ship is
wrecked, we seek for some one per-
son to elect to the painful Office OF a
Jonah when a fire occurs, and our
houses are destroyed, we are incred-
ulous of spontaneous combustion !;
and we even cast asrersions upon
the architects who plan our houses,
after the earthquake has tumbled
their walls and rafters about our
heads. The telegraph informs us
of an editorial article in the London
Times touching the supersedence OF
the United States over England as
an iron-factor and producer of that
scarcely less than precious metal.
That paper mentions. what is to us
happy fact, namely, that the United
States no longer affords an inevitable
market for the hardware of England;
calls attention to the fact that We are
competing with the Mother Country
for the control of the iron trade of
Canada, the West Indies and South
America philosophises alittle upon
the matter, and then, like many
weaker but no less human organ of
casts about itself for some
one to blame. It finds that blame
worthy object in the strikers and
trades Unions. Doubtless these i'll
advised perversions Of human energy
have done, in some instances, a great
deal more of harm than good but |
it is the petulence and i'll judgment
Of misfortune which thus recognizes |
The mote of comparatively insignifi-
:ant personal action as the cause OF
, revolution in the current of trade
md manufactures, and ignores SO
great . natural reason for its bring
ing round as that of profusion and
.asy possession as against limited
supplies and growing difficulties in
The matter of production. The deep |
and long worked coal and iron mines
Of little island can no longer main
tain a superiority over the exhaust
less surface-deposites of those min
erals scattered in limitless abundance
over a vast continent; and even SO
a vehicle of wisdom and
political economy as the London
Times, makes no recognition of the
obvious and plainly presented facts,
,ut goes out of its way to throw the
burden of an inevitable natural con-
sequence upon the feeble shoulders
# few blind, misguided English

later reports ot the appearance o,
potato disease render even this doubt

the want OF wheat in England an op
portuni'y Of d,sposing OF some ,of

bable that west Of Ohio not more

France aud England who are too
poor to buy wheat at the high prices
which are certain to rule next year.
France uses good deal OF both rye
aud barley, but thos! crops are also
below the average. Her frugal pop.
u!ation can, one would imagine, be
brought to use corn rs freely as i; is
