From the Republican, October III
A meeting OF our citizens Il to be
held this evening ut Hurd's Hall, to
take into consideration the question OF
the annexation Of this portion of Ne.
vada county to Placer. The question
Is one Of considerable importance to
the people Of this township, and every
taxpayer who can should be present.
OF course the meeting Is Informal, and
Is intended only to reflect In a public
manner the wishes Of our citizens In
reference to the matter. lit Is found
that the people here are favorable to
the project, the next step will be to
consult the wishes Of the people OF
Placer county. or their legislative del
egation. II Placer county Is favorable
to the annexation scheme there would
seem to be no serious obstacle In the
way Of its speedy accomplishment af.
ter the meeting Of the next Legisla-
ture. In the meantime let the meet
ing this evening be largely attended
and a full expression of opinion upon
the subject i~nterchanged.

men of skill who have examined the
subject and are well acquainted with

that thosr of White Pine yield ore Of n

THE CHAMPION COMPRESSOR.


The boy Matheney. who has just
been Indicted by the Grand Jury Of
White Pine county for the murder Of
Green near Eureka some weeks since,
IL acquiring notoriety as liar, as well
as murderer. 1t will be remembered
that when first arrested In Eureka for
this crime, he made a confession I'm
plicatiug one Finney rs an accom-
plice, or rather principal In the MUIR
der Of Green. Upon this purported
revelation Of Matheney. Finney was
arrested. Shortly aiterward. being
apparently moved by the pangs Of
conscience, he made a second confess
sion In which he fully exonerated
Finney Of participation or even knowl-
edge, and averred himself to be the
sole culprit. He vas then taken to
White Pine county, where the high
altitude or some other unexplained
phenomena, had such an effect upon
his temperament that he made a third
confession. again duplicating Finney,
who was thereupon arrested and taken
to Hamilton. But this does not seem
to make Mstheney happy, as the reve-
lation mania seems to have become
chronic, so he has just elected confess
sion No. 4, Of which the Eureka Seati-
mel of the 18th instant says:
We learn from Deputy Sheriff Walsh
who returned yesterday from Hamil-
ton, that tie boy Matheney has made
still another confession with reference
to the Green murder. He now says
that Finney murdered Green at about
ak o'clock In the evening. dealing the
fatal blow outside Of the tent. They
then buried the old man, and the next
morning brought In a lot Of horses,
which they proceeded to sell. The
story does not seem at all likely.
When found there IA neither pants
nor coat OH the body Of the murdered
man. 1t il hardly probably that, had
he been killed before retiring for the
night, the assassins would have taken
| the trouble to undress him. His pants
aud other apparel were found In the
tent. This Is the third confession
made by Matheney-all differing In
many particulars. Having made so
many stories. 1t will now be difficult
to tind any one who will believe any
thing he says. 1t Is the opinion OF
some of the officers that he Is attempt
Ing to play the insanity dodge. How
ever. the Grand Jury Of White Pine
county have Indicted him for murder
in the first degree. The case Of Fin
nsy. hi, supposed accoInplice, was still
| under consideration at last accounts.
We shall probably know more as to the
disposition made Of Finney's case on
the arrival of to-days stage from Ham
lion.

A WORLD special from Washington.
on the resumption Of specie payment,
says the President has become inter-
ested in the question. In converse
ton last Friday, he stated that he would
earnestly commend the question to
Congress in his annual message. He
was Of the opinion that IL a resumption
was not reached In n month, early and
proper legislation would bring 1t about.
The President, in conjunction with the
Secretary of the Treasury and the
Comptroller Of Currency, will also re-
commend to Congress legislation look
ing to strong restrictions on National
Banks, by which the legal tender re-
serve can be preserved intact. The
President is giving the subject OF ma
tional finances the closest attention,
and evidently means to make It a great
issue in the immediate future OF Ills
administration.
A srEcIAL dispatch to the New York
Tribune regarding the Chief Justice
ship says that Conkling will not n c
cept It. preferring, after the expiration
OF his term. to retire to the practice OF
law. The belief is rapidly gaining
ground that the President will either
select Justice Swayne Or Justice MIL
Ter for Chief Justice, In case the office
Is filled from the Bench, which many
now think probable. This Is the true
principle, and we earnestly hope that
the report may prove true. not only
that the Bench may not be lowered by
the appointment Of Roscoe Conkling.
but from the fact that either Of the
two men named are vastly more COM
petent and worthy the position.
The tender passion has done a great
deal OF mischief In this world, and
Will probably continue to do so until
time and love shall have stepped out
together. But an entirely novel Incl
dent may now be added to amorous
annals. OF a kind which we may be
sure that Ovid never dreamed Of. A
locomotive engineer. flirting with a
lovely Kentucky lassle, did not burst
himself with passion, but his boiler
did because Of too much steam which
the adoring swain forgot to let of. 1t
Is cheering to know that only three
persons were killed by the little mis-
hap : and we presume that the en-
gineer will get married Immediately.

MURDER IN BOSTON,.

Another murder was committed in Boston
Monday evening. The particulars as we find
them in the Journal are as follows:
Clarence Lockwood and Marshall Masru-
der were fellow boarders at Mrs Hammond's
boarding house, l54 Madison street. They
were evidently good friends until two weeks
ago, when they quarreled. The quarrel was
smoothed over it was thought, until it broke
out afresh one evening last week at dan
cling party which they attended.
AT that time Magruder threatened to shoot
Lockwood. The threat was repeated yester-
day morning. This evening at tea time, all
the boarders living in the house except Mag.
ruder and Lockwood being seated at the ia
BILE in the dining-room, Magruder entered
and inquired where Lockwood was. Mrs.
Hammond the landlady, replied that she
thought ne was up in his room. Magruder
said; 81 will go up and fix him!" and he
rushed up to Lockwood's room in the third
story. Another boader named Adams, fear
ing that murder would be committed, fol-
lowed, and arrived In the room just In time
to witness the crime. Magruder fired twice
with a revolver at Lockwood. The first shot
missed the mark, but the second hit the VIC
tim inhicting a fatal wound in the abdomen.
The murderer then coolly walked down stairs
into the dining room and said he would take
cup of tea. The bearders detained him
until the arrival of an officer when he was
taken into custody. The wounded man was
also carried on stretcher TO the police sta
ton, where the surgeon probed his wound
and decided he could not live. Magruder
was brought before his victim and identified
as the assassin. He said he was not sorry for
shat he hod done, and that he would have q
good story to tell the Judge when brought to
trial. lie seemed perfectly Indifferent to the
enormity of his crime. Lockwood was dy-
ing at II o'clock tonight. Magruder is said
to be near relative OF the well known Gen.
j. Il, Magruder.

journalism" inside of party lines, is like
claiming that there can be no true relig-
ious manhood except with those who cut
loose from all UNCONVENTIONAL creeds. A
man adheres to this or that denomination
from intelligent conviction, and it is no
proof of scrvlity that he defends the faith
that is in him. That he is what he is and
not something else is the best possible
proof of his independence. SO Repub-
lican-whether as an editor or rs 4 pri-

creed, would be the very opposite Of Sin.
dependent if he did not do his best to
give practical effect to his convictions.
Editors or preachers, citizens or laymen,
who are "driven about by every wind of
doctrine" and who are swayed by their
personal likes or dislikes, their prejudice
or their passions, render but equivocal
service if they do not work positive inju-
ry, to whatever cause. secular or sacred,
they cspouse.
If the principles and policy of the Re-
publican party are not right, they should
have no advocates. If they are right, and
essential to good government and individ-
ual happiness. their advocacy and yindi-
cation, intelligently, fearlessly and tena-
ciouSly, without oquiyocation or COM
promise, is a sacred duty, involving no
violence to the most tender conscience
and no sacrifice of the most sensitive "in-
, Dependence"
If. in this view Of the question, politi-
cal, or. if you please, party journalism is
right and essential to party success, it is
the duty of the adherents and representa-
tives of party organizations to support
the journals which support their princi-
pies. There can be no compact party Or
ganization and no permanent party sue
cess otherwise; and the Democrat or Re-
publican who inveighs against the seryili-
ty of the press which infleNibly adheres to
the creed which he himself processes, is
neither wise nor consistent. That party
shows the greatest sagacity which does
most to propagate its principles, and no
party can live long which neglects a duty
SO self-evident and essential

The adverse decision of the Senate Jul
dietary Committee on the bill for the re-
lief of sufferers by the Boston fire is not
very well received at the Hub. There
seems to be good deal of sense in what
they say, when they point to the action of
Congress in relieving Chicago, and in
quire why Boston is not as much entitled
to help as was her suffering sister of the
West. We think it would puzzle q shrewd
lawyer to invent possible distinction be-
tween the two cases.

The subject OF sectarian schools is one

no small degree. The Independent, re-

else or direct taxation, belong to the pub.
