MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES

San Francisco, Sept. is. The
friends of Thomas Brown, who shot
himself yesterday, express great sur
prise at the act, as he was known to
be a man of genial nature and very
elastic spirits. His funeral takes
place to day. The Coroner held an
inquest at the house. The jury re-
turned verdict that the deceased
took his own life while laboring un-
der great mental depression.
Princeton, Cal, Sept l6.-This
morning, at about tour O'Clock,
while some men were playing ron
deaux at a saloon in this place, kept
by man named Crothers, dispute
arose between a man named Spanish
Frank and another man named
Thomas Lightner, of Colusa. 1t
seems a quarrel arose over the game
when the Spaniard, accusing Light
ner of cheating, which Lightner re-
sented with blows, and, coming to a
clutch, the Spaniard being the heavi-
est got the upper holt OF Llghtner,
when a friend and cousin of Light
ner, named George DAILY, sprang up
and stabbed he Spaniard in the
back three times, wounding him
mortally. Day has been arrested,
and his examination took place to-
dav, when bail was set at one thou
sand dollars. Not the slightest hopes
are entertained for the life of the
Spaniard, whose proper name is
Frank Silva.
Eureka, Sept. TO- The Republi-
can County Convention met to-day
and nominated Hon. Thos. Wren,
and Matthew Howell for the AS
sembly, and full county ticket.
Resolutions were passed expressing
undiminished faith in the honesty of
the people, the future prosperity OF
the country, and the final triumph
of Republican principles. Resolu-
tons were also adopted opposing the
unjust discrimination of the C.. p. r.
r. Co. in the matter of freights and
fares, and the representatives nomi-
mated were instructed to pledge
themselves to use all efforts to cor
rect the same before having their
names placed in nomination.
A resolution instructing the dele
gates to the State Convention to sup
port Hon. w. S. Beatty for the long
term of the Supreme Court, and
also pledging the delegates to the
support Of Rev. $. IF. Kelly as State
Superintendent of Public Instruction
were also passed. The Convention
passed off quietly.
San Francisco, Sept. TO- Francis
Cornerata, resident on Dupont
street, attempted to commit suicide
this afternoon by cutting his throat

State. The colored people are sat-
isfied and content. A strong brig
AIDE of colored troops, fully supplied
and armed, are in service. The
usurpation refused to fire shot in
its defense. The most perfect peace
and good order prevails. We are
thoroughly loyal to the Federal Gov
eminent, and in the operations of
the past two days there have been no
excess or violation of law. This
government is the only one now in
existence in Louisiana.
Governor Kellogg, in a dispatch
to the same paper says: He has,
amid all troubles that have beset the
State, reduced the rate of State and
Parish taxation. and the Legislature
has passed measures for the reduc-
ton of the State debt and for the
Limitation of the State and city debt,
and repealed obnoxious features OF
the election and registration laws.
He claims that his opponents were
fairly defeated in the last election,
and knowing that they would be
still more in minority in the next
election, have precipitated revolu-
ton and taken forcible possession of
the State Government. lie con-
cludes: Personally l have no desire
to discharge the very onerous and
vexatious duties of Governor, but l
feel it duty l owe to the State and
the party to hold on until relieved
by competent authority.
Chicago, sept l6.-A Milwaukee
dispatch, speaking of the effect of
the Supreme Court decision of yes
terday on railroads, says it is note
worthy that there is a much more
favorable feeling toward roads at
present than has been experienced
since the first railroad bill was ex-
cepted to by the people. The gen
eral verdict seems to be, " Now, we
have shown the roads we are sover-
eigns, let us be magnanimous.'
There is a strong feeling that the
new Legislature should pass law
repeating the Potter Act and restrict
ing roads to reasonable charges.
Your correspondent interviewed
Alex. Mitchell, President, and 5. 5.
Morrill,, Manager of the st. Paul
Railroad. Mr.. Mitchell said very
emphatically the road would obey
the law. without the slightest at
tempt to avoid its true intent; that
the convenience Of freighters and
shippers would be consulted, as in
the past, and no trains taken off un-
til shown to be improbable by
actual experience. There can be no
appeal, this being a temporary in
junction pendente lite. When the
order is made perpetual he could not
say what would be done. He had
hopes that the new Legislature would
act fairly, and protect the company's
rights equally with those of the pub
lie. President Keep, of the North
western road, in an interview on the
subject, said the decision was uneX-
pected, but there was no alternative
for the company but compliance
with tho law

LIVELY TIMES IN TExAs.-With

ga sad ARRAY occurred one mile
east of here this evening, in which
several men were injured in shoot
ing scrape, and which resulted in the
killing OF p. Milston, Of Robinson
county, and the wounding OF Z.

a neighbor, observing this, crept toward the
open parlor window, and, looking in, espied
the Fool accurately dressed in evening cos
tune, loun2ing upon sofa in the drawing
room, with the easy air of socially entertain
ing large party. Notwithstanding this, the
house was Enthusiastically vacant shat evening,
save for the presence of tie owner, as the
witness afterward testified. When this story
was first related, few practical men sugges-
ted the theory that Mr.. Hawkins was simply
drilling himself in the. elaborate duties of
hospitality against a probable event in his
history. A few ventured the belief that the
house was haunted the imaginative editor of
the Five Forks Record evolved from the
depths of his professional consciousness
story that he regularly entertained her spirit
in this Observation-Disclosures mausoleum. The
occasional spectacle of Hawkins tall figure
pacing tie veranda on moonlight nights lent
some credence to this theory, until an I'M
looked-for incident diverted all speculation
into another channel.
1t was about this time that certain wild,
rude valley, in the neighborhood of Five
Forks, had become famous as a picturesque
resort. Travellers had visited it, and declared
that there were more cubic yards of rough
stone cliff and water fall of greater height
than any they had visited. Correspondents
had written it up with extravagant rhetoric

women who had never enjoyed sunset, a
tree, or fower-who had never appreciated
the graciousness or meaning of the yellow
sunlight that fecked their homely doorways,
or the tenderness of midsummer's night, 10
whose moonlight they barred their shirt-sleeves
or their tulle dresses-came from thousands
Of miles away to calculate the height of this
rock, to observe the depth of this chasm, to
remark upon the enormous size of this I'M
slightly tree, and to believe with ineffable self
competency that they really admired nature.
And so it came to pass that, in accordance
with the tastes or weaknesses of the individ-
ual, the more prominent and salient POINTS of
the valley were cbristened, and there was a
"Lace Handkerchief Fall,' and the ''Tears
of Sympathy Cataract, "and one distinguished
orators Peak" and several Mounts of
various noted people, living or dead, and an
Exclamation Point" and ''Valley Of ST.
lent Alteration" And in course of time
empty saltwater bottles were found at the
base of the cataract, and greasy newspapers
and fragments of ham sandwiches lay at the
dusty roots of giant trees. With this there
were frequent irruptions of closely-shaven
and tightly-cravated men aud delicate, flow
er-faced women in the one long street of
Five Forks, AMI scampering OF mules. and
an occasional procession of dusty brown-lnen
cavalry.

Farewell.

The crimson sunset faded into gray;
Upon the murmurons sea the twilight fell;
The last warm breath of the delicious day
Passed with mute farewell
Above my head in the soft purple sky
A wild note sounded like shrll-voice1 bell;
Three gulls met, wheeled. and parted with cry
That seemed to say "Farewell!''

And one went floating south; while like knell
That mournful cry the empty sky possessed,

TIE rolling world is giidled with the sound,

Upon its bosom, for no place is found
Where is not heard, "Farewell!''

From wind to wind; earth has one tale to tell;
All other sounds are dulled and drowned and lost
