PI00HE AND MURDER,

Our caption is startling; the subject is
startling; the history of Pioehe is start
ling, and We know of no other place on
the coast" noted for its murders. as
sinations and robberies, which is more
entitled to the use of the word tn n the
one named. During its short life
younger than any other prominent camp
III Nevada or California-the daily tale
of horror has come to us through the
columns of the Record, until it has be-
come a habit among all men to ask, when
speaking of news, - Has anybody been
killed in Pioche ?" The hast sensation
is that of the killing of the noted despe-
RADIO and man-kller, Rick Moriarty, alias
Morgan Courtney, who came to his death
through the agency of man named Nc
kinny, another " fighter" who did it in
the most approved fashion. Moriarty is
fair sample of many others among us,
who, boasting of the fact tone which
honest men would consider an eyerlast-
ing and eternal disgrace) that they have
killed their man, 60 about insulting,
beating and abusing decent citizens, be-
cause they are aware the name borne by
them will intimidate the majority of men
from resenting insults offered. There
always exists " fellow feeling among
brutes, of whatever creation, and the
class of men described are bound to-
gether by the same ties of sympathy that
animals recognise, sworn to assist each
other IN times of peril and trouble. We
have no false sentimentality about such
matters !; We claim no affinity with such
characters, and we assert, that men who
bear such regulations, whose whole OBJ
jeet in life seems to be to gain aud sus-
tain regulations as fighters and murder
ers, are, without single exception, cow
ardly, mean villains. We have no SYM
pathy with any newspaper, with any in
diyidnals or set of men who uphold such
a class but, on the contrary, think that
"A public journal, no matter what may be
the risk, that refuses to look down upon
and condemn acts of lawlessness, murder
and riot, does not deserve place in the
journalistic profession. The citizens Of
Pioehe have borne much, their patience
must be nigh exhausted, and it would not
surprise us at all if they asserted their
rights rs men, as order-loving people.
aud, by the same course pursued in Cali
folnia at an early day, end this career Of
crime and violence by the aid OF Judge
Lynch.

THE MASSACRE AT ALGoY.

A Madrid correspondent, writing about
the massacre of Aleoy, says:
The women played as conspicuous a
part in the massacre as they did in Paris
during the Commune. Nothing which
occurred IN Paris, even in the last frenzy
oil any desperation and baffied fury, at all
approaches this brutal massacre. When
the Minister Of Foreign Affairs was asked
in the cartes for a statement of what had
really happened, be declared that for the
honor OF the country and Of the republic,
he WIS obliged To refrain from mention
mg all that had happened According to
his account the lnsurreeton was gotten
up by the Internatonalists and COM
meneed N a strike. or SERIES of strikes.

ants burst in, and then followed a scene
which the Minister declared il impossible
for him to describe The defenders of
the Town Hall. after being subjected to
other horrible insults and injuries, were
stripped naked, and held up from the
balcony in full view of the howling mob
| below. Their names were called ont oae
| by one. and the mob WAS asked whether
| they would have them dead or alive, and
according to the answer, either their
| heads were cut off, and their mutilated
bodies thrown down from the balcony,
or they were thrown down still alive /; the
mob below trying to catch them as they
fell on their bayonets and pixies, and
everyb )dy then rushing to assist in des-
patching what remnants of life We're left,
or il too late for this, to further mangle
and disigure the bodies. One of the
most respectable inhabitants was seized
by the insurgents ; his clothes sprinkled
with petroleum and set on fire, while he
was made to run while shots Were taken
at him. Other atrocities scarcely less
terrible are reported.

CEsARISM.

Under this caption the New York Her
aid of recent date explains the why's
and wherefores the reelection of Pres
ident Grant should never be brought
about. A startling and novel view, al
though position which none can deny
being truthful, is entertained by that
journal. 1t says that the machinery
for carrying ON the government Of the
United States is peculiarly adapted to
the sway of G@sarism. The powers of
the Presidential office would need no en-
largemenf to make them absolute if the
tenure were prolonged. The cabinet is
not n responsible ministry, directly an
swerable to the country and likely to be
turned out of Office ut any moment by an
adverse vote Of Congress, but the mere
Fish is Grants chief clerk for foreign af-
fairs. General Belknap is his principal
war clerk. Mr.. Robson keeps an ac-
count of his ships and record of their
movements. Mr.. Richardson is the lead
ing subordinate OF the Treasury, selling
gold and buying bonds, and doing such
other things as he is ordered to do by the
Executive. The other cabinet officers
hold similar relations to the President
and there is no difference except in de-
gree between the heads OF departments
and the heads of bureaus. 1t further
adds that all the custom-house officers,
assessors aud collectors OF internal reve-
nue.. postmasters. and every feeder on
public patronage, can be reached and
controlled by the President with as much
ease as any master can control his men.
In fact all and every department OF the
Government would. by the fnet Of the
" third term principle being inaugn-
rated, be directly and unayoidably under
the control of the President. and he could
control sufficient votes ut any time to
make his Office one for life. Certainly
the view taken by the Herald is, at least,
startling one, and should General
Grant be offered, and accept re-nomin-
alton, thu fight would be nude on the
tenure Of Office platform. and be hard
and bitter one.

THE novel suit of Caleb Cushing is
processing at Washington and attracting
considerable attention, especially from
those whose nerves are disturbed by the
midnight howlings of ours of high and
low degree. Caleb sets forth " that the
defendant did wrongfully keep dog
which was used to bark continually, by
day aud night, and that on Saturday last
did then aud there allow the said dog to
bark necessarily from early in the day
throughout the whole day and night fol-
lowing, and thereby binder and prevent
the plaintiff from studying and the trans
action of his lawful business by day and
depriving him of his sleep during the
night, as injuriously to affect his health
and peacefnlness of his property For
all Of which Caleb claims damages to the
amount of 81 900.
