The FIRST DEATH in Paramint was
that Of William Masterson who died on
tie 18th inst. from the effects OF knife
wound inflicted by one William Nc
LauGhlin. According to the Panamint
Ne1cs, Iasterson Was buried in Sour
Dough Canyon" perhaps this is
done in Difference TO the probability that
he may rise AGAIN. Says that paper:
This is the first death of a white per-
sou to record in Panamint since it be-
came town, although we are told that
bones have been dug up here, by persons
excavating for cellars, which are suppo-
sed to be those of white men killed in
1928. The friends and acquaintances
here of the deceased do not know of the
Whereabouts of any of his relatives, but
it is believed brother is living some
where in Calaveras county. San Fran
cisco and Calaveras county papers, and
the press generally, will confer favor
upon his friends here, and undoubtedly
upon his relatives. by noticing tLs fact of
his death and burial.

New York, December 21.-The evil
dence satisfies the police authorities that
Ross was still alive on the 18th of De-

the burglars Mosher and Douglass were
killed. they were planning to negotiate
for Charles restoration simultaneously
with the receipt of the ransom money.
This is believed to be certain.

Dr. Card, the Principal of Glasgow
University, has given some offence In
Scotland by a sermon which he receatly
preached in Dundee. A charge of here
sy in consequence is to be brought
against him. The principal ground of
the charge is that in the sermon referred
to DIR. Card said that the scriptures do
not sanction the doctrine that disbelie {
in Christian truth is penal. When
men earnestly and honestly fail to ar
rive at conclusions in accordance with
the truth cherished by the Christian
Church they are no more morally guilty
than are they who believe or disbelieve
the story of Romulus and Remus who
believe or disbelieve the atomic theory of
matter, or the truth or falsebood of the
claim of the defendant in n notorious
criminal trial. Thinkers of cur own
time, like Carlyle and Frederick w.
Newman, have arrived at conclusions
which are opposed to the cherished con-
victions of most Christians in this coun~
try To hold that in the next world
they will De damned for their honest
doubts on their ignorance in this matter
is to hold doctrine wholly opposed to
the true conception of God-monstrcu us,
and even bIasphemous"

REDEEMED.-The great State of Texas,
an empire within itself, is now free from
the disgracefui yoke of radicalism, and
is once more on the road to prosperity
and peace. Ever since the war the radi>
cal party has gnawed at her vitals, and
by a system of official plundering almost
crushed the hopes of the best citizens
but at the recent election they came
forth in their strength, threw off the
miserable tools of the miserably mean
" dominant party, and now T xas is
born unto u new and better life. Her
legislature consists of twenty-six Demo.
cratic and five Republican Senators, and
of ninety Democratic and ten Republican
Representatives Judge Coke, Demo-
crat, was elected Governor by nearly
fifty thousand majority upon full! poll
by both parties. What glorious achieve
ment Tennessee can make a similar
showing this year if our people will only
do as the people of Texas dld-unite

to the nominees and let ambitious and
nnevenly balanced individuals go to Hell

The ramie pla ut, which in it's lohZ,
glossy fibre supplies an excellent subsIi>
tute for silk, is destined in time to be
one of the most important Of American
products. Practical experience shows
that it can be successfully cultivated in
California and the Gulf States 1t can
be cutiwith an ordinary moving machine,
and under favorable circumstances an
acre of land will produce from 400 to
500 pounds at each cutting. The crude
ramie staple is worth from $500 to $40
per ton in Europe American manufac>
tuners offer for it from 20 TO % cents per
pound when furnished Ia considerable
quantities. The great obs tacle to the
Introduction Of its cultivation on an ex-
teusive scale ii the United States has
been the difficulty of preparing it for the
market, as the fibre has to be separated
from the barK which enveloT es 1t. The
Chinese do this work by hand, pIoduc-
ing one or two pounds per day Of market
able fbre by the aid of knife. Such a
slow and expensive process as this would
not pay in this country. Several mas
chimes have tcen invented for preparing
rarie for market, soms of which are
said to be capable of cleaning one
thousand pounds in a day bot their
proprietors have apparently taken little
pains to introduce them to notice.
Whenever low priced machine capable
| of preparing the fibre for market quickly
and economically shall be perfected and
properly bought before the public, q
great impetus viii be given to the cult
vation of this valuable textile.

Ohe Of the most important duties soon
to deVolve upon the Legislature of our
State is the electing of United States
Senator to fill the place now occupied
by w. G. Brownlow, whose term of
Office expires in 1875. Prominent among
the distinguished gentlemen suggested
tor this eminent position is the name
Of Hon. William II. Stephens of Shelby,
and to our mind, there is no more de-
serving than he. 1t would be pleas
ure to us and to thousands of citizens
al over Tennessee to know that man
so worthy OF every confidence as Judge
Stephens, would consent to the use Of
his name in connection with Senatorial
hoLors, and if he will only consent to
let bis friends throughout the State en-.
list under his spotless banner Tenn
esseans may yet DO what at one time was
thought an impossibility redeem the
seat so damnably disgraced by Brown
low. We cannot shut eur eyes to the
fact that this great State of ours is poor
ly represented in the Upper Hall of cur
National Legislature, and it is high
time our people were casting about for
some one upon whose shoulders can be
confidently repOsed their chief represen~
tative interests. Search the State over,
take up each worthy mans record. pri-
vate or public, soldi-r or citizen, and the
