DIGGER INDIANS DIGGING. Riding
through the foothills, near Rocklin, saw
curious and unexpected sight There are
still few wretched Digger Indians in this
part of California and what saw was a
party of these engaged in catching grass
hoppers, which they boil and eat. They
dig a number of funnel-shaped holes, wide
at the top, and 10 inches deep, on a cleared
space, and then, with rags and brush,
drive the grashoppers toward these holes,
forming, for that purpose, a wide circle.
1t is slow work, but they seem to delight
in il; and their excitement was great as
they neared the circle of holes and the in
sects began to hop and fall into the holes.
At last there was close and rapid rally,
and half dozen bushels of grasshoppers
...-~ .-~,~- -, -
hats, aprons, bags and rags were stuffed
in to prevent the multitudes from dispers-
ing and then began the work of picking
them out by handfuls, crushing them
roughly in the hands to keep them quiet,
and crowding them into the bags in which
they were to be carried to their rancheria.
"Sweet all, same pudding" cried an old
woman to me, as | stood looking on. 1t is
not good year for grasshoppers this year ;
no, they like the year of which an inhabi-
tant of Roseville spoke to me later in the
day, when he said, "They ate up every bit
of his garden truck, and then sat on the
fence and asked him for chaw of tobac-

HENRY WATTERsoN's DIAGNOSIS OF THE
SHAH.-The Shah himself is an ugly cuss.
He resembles closely the pictures of the
more cruel of lis fOrefathers contained in
the early editions of the Arabian Nights.
! dare say. he has caused many poor fel-
lows head to be chopped off on a notice of
five minutes, and it would not surprise ME
to learn that he has a trick of making
himself a widower three or four times a
month. A fierce-eyed, Acknowledged,
ugly beast as ever wore a diamond or car
ried cimeter and his grand vizier, who
is along with him, is only trife the less
brutal and vicious. If you met either in

An international patent right congress
convcnes at Vienna in August; its object
being to obtain the recognition of the
rights of an inventor, secured by patent in
one country, in all parts of the world.
This is but right and justice, but wherein
does it differ from the claim for an inter-
national copy right The argument for
the one applies to the other, yet publishers
of the United States and of Europe, with
honorable exceptions, have pirated upon
one another, and robbed authors, for years
without punishment on the one side or re-
dress on the other. If authors and invcn-
tors are entitled to an exclusive property
In the works of their brains or hands at
home, they certainly are abroad. Legaliz-
cd piracy and robbery stand upon the same
footing, morally, as unauthorized acts OF
the same kind Oh that justice would pre-
vail among nations and men.

More want of Judgment, or hasty legisla

More want of judgment, or hasty legisla-
ton, is found in the delay of business in
the Postofiice department, for the want of

appropriation, we are informed, ''for adj
ditional SERVICE" it being necessary, we
take it, to use the requisite funds to meet
claims for ''back pay" While we demand
true economy in the management of pub

A RAILROAD SUIT.

A suit has been begun in the Supreme Court
the progress of which will be watched by railroad men
and bond brokers. 1t started by an application
made Yesterday before Judge Daniels in the Supreme
Court Chambers, on behalf Of Joseph Seligman aud
Others to prevent mortgage, made by the North and
South Alabama Railroad Company from being Cancelled
IL is claimed by Selgman and those interested with
him that the North and South Alabama Railroad Com
many employed them 1870 TO sell 100000 OF their
bonds and that they advanced S25O0Oo and pro-
cured an extension OF ninety days for the payment
of $4,000 owed by the Railroad Company. The agree
ment was that they tSeligman Coz were TO
get 81 per cent commission the whole amount of the
bonds and that the Company should part with none Of
the bonds without their consent subsequently $780,
coo the bonds sold or pledged partly but not en-
tirely by selgman & Co. An arrangement was then
entered into with the Louisville and Nashville Railroad
Company by which G. V. Alexander became agent for
both companies and the President of the ~ and s. A.
Railroad Company gave selgman Co. three checks for
commission ON the sls00OOO bonds sold, which checks
were never paid. Those bonds which we're not sold
or pledged we're then handed over to Alexander. by
whom all but 100000 sold It was then proposed
70 issue new first mortgage protecting the $4,000 OF
outstanding and cancelng all the other bonds pre-
viously issued as the basis for new bonds.

THE PROPERTY or INTERFERENCE BY TIE DEPART
MENr OF STATE.
In the case of Carl VOgt, a native of Prussia,
charged with numbering, In Brussels, Belgium. the
Cheyaier Du Bots de Bianco, Mr.. Knitting, his counsel
commended before Commissioner White, some time ago,
that the warrant for the extradition demanded by
Prussia could not be legally issued because the alleged
crime was committed in Belgium, with which this
Government has extradOn treaty, and that there
fore, he could not be legally held TO await
the issuing OF such warrant EH-Goy. Saio-
mon who represented the Prussan Government in this
matter showed that its laws allowed 1t to punish its
subjects at home crimes perpctrated in foreign lands
and argued that those laws brought Vogt within the
treaty referred to. Commissioner White sustained ex
Gov. salomon's position, and did Judge Batchford
OF the United States Circuit Court writ of habeas
corpus and certorari.
That question Of law being disposed OF, Mr.. Bowen
succeeded Mr. Knitting YOgts counsel the e1amlna-
ton before the Commissioner went on. and the latter
held Vogt TO await the issuing the warrant demanded
Mr.. Bowen then obtained from Judge Blatchford an
other writ OF habeas corpus and cerorar and raised
at the argument on IT, the following objections to the
Commissioners proceedings:
First The Commissioner Illegally held Vogt because
the documentary evidence against hun was not anthe
tcated by the signature of the American minister aI
Berlin, the place where 1t was taken. ,
second The evidence against Vogt allowed by the
Commissioner would not be admitted AS competent evil
dence by the Of Prussia therefore, the Commits
sioner erred in receiving II.
Judge Blatchford overruled the objections and de-
cided that Vogt had been legally held. MT Bowen then
went TO the Department Of State Washington, and
protested against issuing warrant for Vogts extra
dtion He based his protest upon the identical points
passed upon by Judge Blatchford aud the Department
OF state informed him that before issuing warrant for
extraditon it would review the proceedings in
his case of the United States Circuit Court for the South
ern District or Sew-YOrk The question is now
asked by many eminent lawyers, where does
the Department Of State get its author
IL to review proceedings Of Federal Court y Ia
case like Vogt's, that Department, they claim, has
nothing do but TO issue the warrant OF extraditon
when such decides that the evidence upon which
is demanded sufficient. H. il is also asked, the De-
partment OF State review the proceedings OF
United States Circuit Court what binders II from re-
viewing the proceedings OF the Supreme Court OF the
United States, and what assurances have foreign ma
tons that their treaties with this Government Will be
decisions OF its courts
