ATTEMPTED Murder.

One of the most aggravated cases OF
attempted murder that we have
chronicled in long time, occurred
this morning in front OF the Union
House, No 511 Mission street, near
First. About o'clock, a man giving
the name of James Clark was OBJ
served to be pacing back and forth in
front of the house. He seemed to be
exceedingly nervous and excited. His
actions attracted the attention of sew
eral parties, who watched him for
few moments and then went away.
At about ten minutes past a young
man named Dennis Driscoll entered
the sitting-room from the kitchen to
get his hat, which upon procuring, he
started for his workshop. He had
hardly stepped to the sidewalk when
Clark cried out: ~ am going to kill
you,n and fired shot from revolver,
the ball entering Driscolrs right ell.
bow, inflicting an ugly and painful
wound.
On being hit, Driscoll started to run
but tripped on the curbstone and fell
to the street, where Clark stood over
him, about to fire q second shot, when
he was seized and held by Mr.. Kill
leen, the proprietor of the house, who,
of course, prevented him from carry
ing his murderous design into execu-
ton. Clark was arrested and charged
with assault to murder. The prisoner
is about thirty years of age and appar-
emily a laboring man, and stranger
in the city. He roomed in the same
house with Driscoll at 5O7 Mission
street, for the past two nights. He
refuses to say anything about the mat
ter until he is arraigned in court. Par
ties living in the house believe the
man to be insane, he having COM
planned at various times Of parties
throwing dirt on him and otherwise
abusing him while he was asleep.
Driscoll says he is at a loss to know
why he should have been picked out
as the victim of Clark's wrath, having
never spoken to the prisoner. The
matter will be Investigated in the Po-
lice Court tomorrow, and then it will
be developed whether Clark is insane
or not s. F. Post, March 18th.

The Colorado Desert.

We make no apology for republish-
ing from the Overland Monthly of jan
uary, 1873, the interesting and able
paper on the Colorado Desert contrib
uted to that magazine by our talented
townsman, DR.. ]. P. Widney. The
question of turning the Colorado river
into the desert is now prominently be-
fore Congress, and as this paper con-
tains the only really exhaustive ex-
animation of the subject that has ever
been made, the present is an oppor-
tune time to reproduce it. If the
proposition to appoint scientific
commission to examine and report on
the feasibility of the enterprise is
acted upon, we know of no one better
fitted for such position than the au-
thor of that article. DIR. Widney's in
innate acquaintance with the locality
and his habits Of scientific investiga-
ton peculiarly fit him for the work,
and the labor he has already performed
in bringing this important enterprise
before the people entities him to con-
sideratiOn.

Coal in the Buttes.

1t was our pleasure to visit the But
ties and prospect the coal indications
on Moody's and Krattly's lands in
the Buttes, of which mention has been
made in this paper. The coal is found
in quite number of the small gulches
among the bald hills, lying in thin
layers between strata OF clay, from
one to several inches in thickness, and
on considerable slant. Some of these
streaks contain fine specimens of
bituminous coal. These indications
appear to extend through the hills be-
tween the cuts, as the seams are to be
seen on either side. In two or three
places an apparent seam of coal was
found on the bed of the gulch several
feet in width, which, on being opened
to a depth of few feet, were found to
be limited in thickness, but extended
either way to an unknown distance;
however, these seams are much de.
composed and mixed with clay. In
prospecting one of these in the side Of
the bank we came upon lot of fine
very black, pure coal, which resem.
bled powdered charcoal. 1t is oul
opinion that these strata are little
arms extending from coal beds lying
under the large hills near by. The
proper method of prospecting for q
coal bed in that locality is to bore fol
it. Undoubtedly more or less Goa
underlies the valley along the base Of
the Nevada from Placer to Tehama.-

The Fares and Freights Bill.

Contrary to expectations, the Senate
Committee on Corporations has re-
ported against the passage of Free
mans bill to regulate fares and
freights on the railroads of the State.
Though the bill was passed in the AS
sembly by an almost unanimous vote,
opponents to it are not wanting even
among those friendly to Legislative
control of the railroads. Too much
care cannot be exercised in handling
this intricate subject. An obscure or
demonstrations law would result in
litigation and would infallibly be over
thrown in the courts, while law that
technically is correct, might be easily
framed that would be serious dam
age to the interests of the State. We
hope to see this subject thoroughly ex-
amined, and when the author
ity of the State is asserted over
the railroad corporations, it is
desirable that it shall be done in a
manner that will not only stand the
test of judicial investigation, but that
will also be real benefit to the bust
ness of the State. Nothing is gained
by hasty legislation on so important
subject, and one that affects so many
interests. Iowa and Illinois have both
been wrestling with the subject, and
though the principle is all right, the
manner in which they have attempted
to enforce it has been productive of
much trouble. We are not prepared
to say whether Freeman's bill is the
best that can be adopted or not. There
is demand for the exercise of the res
training power of the State, but there
are SO many things to be taken into
consideration, and it is so hard to make
inflexible rules, that we are not sure
but that time will in the end be gained,
if the enactment of law on this SUBJ
ject is postponed to another session.

1T is surprising that in the fearful
condition of the Central Pacific so little
loss of life has occurred. The tele-
graph yesterday reported serious ac-
cident near Toano, in which many
lives were reported to be sacrificed.
Later reports, however, bring the
gratifying intelligence that no one
was killed and only two were injured.
Much credit is due the railroad author
tiles for the energy they have dis
played in keeping their track free, and
and for the care that has been exer-
cised for the safety Of passengers.

FR0n WILKEs SPIRIT
THE TIDES.

The next House Of Representa-
tives will be Democratic by an ire
sistible majority, and will thus be
truly REPRESENTATIVE of public opfns
ion; but-the Senate wiIl remain Re-
publican. and thus threatens to be
in opposition to tie nation. There
is bat one way in which this mani
fest injustice can be removed and
the danger OF a divided Congress
averted. 1t is that the legislatures
of the lately Democratized States
shall carry out the spirit Of the Con-
stitution. by instructing their Sena-
tors to vote 10 accordance with the
majority in the House. The right of
legislatures, to instruct Senators has
b:ilways been admitted and frequent
ly exercised, and it has never been
resisted, except when made at peri
DDS of temporary excitement. In
sstruetions backed by such over
wbelming force of public opinion as
the figures ofthe late elections en-
body, few Senators would presume
to dlsobeys and the Democratic par
.ty I'M New York, Ohio, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Indiana, and other
States is morally and politically au-
thorized to. issue them, Any four
Of these States, to- say nothing Of
such Southern States as Alabama.
North Carolina, Arkansas, and Louis
lana, could, by this constitutional
method, destroy the present MAORI
tyl OF seven votes in the Senate.
We know of no other way by which
the Democracy can secure the full
benefits of the late elections for the
country, than by enforcing "the doc
trine of Instructions I'M the name
and by the authority of the people.
The people have acted directly for
themselves in changing the charac-
ter of the House; the legislators
alone can act for them in respect to
the Senate. Let US see if the De
mocracy, when the new legislative
bodies assemble in January. will
have the wisdom and courage to rise
to the height of this splendid and
opportunity Of making
the party supreme in the Senate,
as it will be supreme in the House,
and as it is now firmly entrenehed
in the various. States upon which the
responsibility OF this nationalretorm
rests! - .--

TIE SCHOOL LIZ.

We see occasionally a newspaper
article intimating that there is dang
er of the incoming Legislature re-
Pealing the school law, or so emas-
culating the system that it win be-
come inefficient. We have too Hauch
confidence in the strong, practical
good sense OF our representatives
to believe they will do any such
thing. The State cannot 90 forward
without an effective system of public
schools. It would be fatal to at
tempt economy in this direction. Tt
would. be like miseB refusing to
eat sufficient food through fear Of
starvation. The system should be
improved Economy should be
brought to bear in administering tbe
system, bat it should not be abol-
fshed.

an accomplished gentleman, thoroughly
posted in parliamentary rules and usages,
well Informed on all public matters;
FUZZY identified with our State and in en-
tire sympathy with the people whose
best interests he viii labor with zeal and
energy to advance He would make an
able, dignified and accomplished presid-
ing officer He carried his District in
closely contested struggle and made an
able and brilliant canvass. Col. Mayre
is a Virginian by birth and Tennessee
an by choice and adoption. HIS family
is on of the most distinguished in the
grand Old mother of States and of
statesmen During the war he was
gallant soldier IN the. Confederate army,
'bat he did ali his fighting before Lees
surrender, and at the close of the war he
turned his steps Westward and located
in our State, practicing law with bril-
liant success at Memphis a few years,

We have had great respect for this
distinguished minister Of the gospel.
We have felt G4at he was an earnest
Christian, possessing sufficient cour-
sge to do what he knew to be right
under any circumstances. 1t is with
regret we note his late movement in
his war on theatres. In opposing the
evils Of theatres, he has appealed to
the same emotion in the human
heart that theatrical managers appeal
to, and thereby he has dragged in
The slum his holy religion. We hope
he will see his error, and use only le-
gitimate means to propagate the
principles of the Bible
