ruE TRAGEDY.

In our local columns to-day we give
the testimony Of the inquest held to-day
by Coroner Holmes in the matter Of the
terrible tragedy which occurred on Sat-
urday evening 1.-THE Justice mins, Lower
Cold Hill. 1t will be continued
on Thursday next. and all possible fur
Their information relative to this lament
able affair will be elected. Five good
men and citizens have been most need
lsssly slaughtered, and the public eagerly
desire to knew where the blame lies.
Contsnding trustees and stockholders in
San Francisco are the most guilty par
ties, according to our idea. directing q
sudden. absolute and psremptery change
in the supsrintendsncy and manage
ment Of the mine. According to
his idea Mr.. Smith. the Supsrin-
tsndsnt, considered that he should
hold possession, while Kellogg. the
newly appointed superintendent.
thought otherwise. through different in
structions. The consequence was, that
hasty, ill-sdvissd attempt was
made to take possession, even in
the midst OF negotiations which would
have sbviatsd the whole fatal difficulty.
Half an hour later the matter would
have been properly settled and
nobody hurt. In Jul estimation
the blame lies altogether in too hasty
action. It is a difficult matter to recon.
cile or arrange matters between belligsr-
emit parties, with arms in their hands,
in the darkness Of night. Neither
party appreciates what the other
desires to do, but both are
k..nly alive to danger. and looking out
for an immediate collision. Why could
not the parties wait until morning and
let the proper officers OF the law inter-
fsrs IL necessary The mine has been
there many years, and could not
spoil or be taken away in one night.
Prscipitate. arbitrary haste brought
about the fatal collision. Five good
men and citizens are killed in conse-
qusnce. and Gold Hill is disgracsd for
ever. Somebody has Numbered terribly
and fatally.

have come to very important conclu-
sioh. Tho committee at first decided
against KeIley's bill and against abolish
ing the National Bank system has set
tied the questions. The committee then
framed bill of which the following
are the leading features: 1st, That re,
strlctIon of the total amount of bank
circulation shall be repealed. which is
equivalent to authorizing free banking
under provisions of the present law, ex-
cept as modified by the Committee. 2d,
That requirement banks shall keep re.
serve OF greenback N their vaults to re-
doom their notes shall be repealed and
instead, every bank shall deposit in the
treasury greenbacks amounting to S Der
cent. of its circulation, as fund for re-
demption of its notes, and Shall keep
this reserve good. Sd, Banks shall not
be allowed to pay or receive interest on
| deposits with each other. 4th, That
country banks shall be required to leer
their deposit reserves at home. 5th,
That gold banks shall be allowed to is.
sue notes to the amount of so per cent

members of the cor mittee voted against
reporting the bill containing these pro.

BURNYp TO DEATH. Last night a
drunken Indian named Jim, was Great
ing q disturbance on the street, so that
Deputy Marshall Chilberg arrested and
locked him up in the wooden block
house near the Surveyor Generals Of
fee and left him to sleep off the effects
of the bad whiskey. This house is di-
yided into two rooms, with hall be-
tween them. The partitions were each
some six inches thick. Each room was
furnished with straw bed and some
blankets, but no ether furniture. About
two o'clock this morning. flames were
seen issuing from the Blockhouse, and
by the time the first corners reached the
scene of the fire the whole house was in
d, blaze and all was q-iet within. When
the -e was brought under control, it
wasf found that the body of the poor fsl-
low}was all consumed but few small
pieces of bones. The general supposi-
ton is that he went to bed, lighted his
pipe, which was found in the ashes, and
started to have o comfortable smoke; he
dropped to sleep, the Goals from the
pipe set the straw bed on FIRE, and the
smoke smothered him as he lay. 9th
ters think that he set the bed on fire in
hopes of burning his way out or forcing
some one to let him out. These con-
lficting theories are not likely to be def
Iinately settled, as the only competent
arbiter has e ne to his happy hunting
pround. Courier, 23d.

and married daughter, he was shot twice
by his son-in-law, Thomas Schooley,
and died from the effects of the wounds
on the following day. Two balls were

CHICAGO, Jan. 90 Criticisms of ex-
Governor II. s. Foo!e, of Mississippi
on Jefferson Davis continuing to be
quite annoying; a friend Of the latter
wrote to him, calling his attention to
the matter. Davis made the following
replv which Is row before the public:
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 25. 1873.
DEAR S1R:-Yours of the Goth inst. is to
hand. 1 have not seen any of the artl-
cl.s which you inform me h. S. Foote
has written in abuse of me, nor have L
any desire to read whatever he might
write. In the year of 1871 I published
him as constitutionally liar and his
SUBSEQUENT career only served to con-
firm me in that judgement. since that
date, therefore, I have taken no heed OF
the utterances of Foote. His fattery
when he was seeking political prefer
ment in the Confederacy, and his abuse
when faithless to his trust as represen-
tative in Congress of Confederate States
that he was preparing for his subsequent
desertion to their enemies, were alike
disregarded by me.
You are at liberty to use this as you
think proper. I remain respectfully
and fru1v vn1rc

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Congressmen
are already beginning to speculate con-
cerning the possibility of an adjourn

that the House has assumed such pos

taking money from the Treasury can
not possibly command attention from
Congress at this session except ordinary
appropriation bills.
LONDON, Jan. 26.-Disraeli, in an ad-
