Either our correspondent is very much
mistaken or we are, and we are Of course
inclined to think that it is him. We know
Of no such bill as he refers to. We have
seen nothing of it, nor heard any thing Of
it except from Bro. Cook. We cannot un-
derstand why such bill should be intro
duced, because it could have no effect what
ever if it passed. The State Legislature
could not fix any conditions upon the sale of
lands belonging to the United States.
They might pass thousand such bills and
they would be utterly powerless. We
think that we gave the facts in the case in
our remarks upon his last letter. All that
the legislature could do would be to memo
rialize Congress. This was done as we be-
fore stated. Mr.. Donnelly moved to amend
the memorial in regard to con6ning the
company to q certain price. Mr.. Drake
suggested that it would not be lust and
right to compel the company to sell lands
having > special value by reason of having
water poRers. or timber upon them. In
this We think be was right. We believe in
doing justice to railroad companies as we'll
as to others, We believe that oil grants to
railroads. should sostain conditions % to
the price they should cell the lands for,
but - Do not think TT they should Be

worth $50 per acre, for the same price that
they would piece Of prairie land worth
$500 per acre. >.r.
Bro. Cook does not seem to understand
that all railroad lands are conveyed to the
State. We believe this to be the fact, at
least we know the most of it in this State
has been conveyed to the State in trust
for the roads, and the State turns 1t over to
the companies as soon as they have COM
Piled with the terms and conditions fixed in
the grant. The State holds the lands as
trustee for the companies, but we have
never known it to attempt to attach any
further conditions to transferring the lands
to the companies than were fixed by Con-
gress, although it possibly may have the
power to do so, and we hope it has.
Our correspondent will see then that if
Congress had granted to the St. Paul & Pa
ci6c R. R. extension Of time, and placed
the land in the hands of the State, without
making any conditions as to the price for
which it should be sold, the State would
not in all probability have departed from
its usual course, but would have passed the
lands over to the company, as had been its
custom before. We think, therefore, it was
we'll to amend the memorial in that regard.
We like to see the spirit of investigation
manifested by our correspondent, especial
ly on legislative topics. We want to see
more Of it. We shall always endeavor to
enlighten our readers on this subject. We
shall not claim infalibity in this work, but
we shall guarantee the very best we can do.

more securely than a person can hold it,

to be very unreliable one, and had ad.

SOME weeks ago o company of practical

success where others had failed, and
accordingly leased the Metropolitan mill
near this city, and commenced opera
tons. Their capital was limited; COM
posed principally Of honest endeavors
and practical knowledge, coin being an
article sadly deficient, but they went
manfully to work, with firm faith in the
future Of their enterprise. The institu-
ton on which their efforts have been
directed was in a most dilapidated con-
dition, and looked as though no amount
of ingenuity could ever bring order out
of the chaos that reigned. but. at this
writing, a complete quartz mill is run

ties sufficient to ensure a rich return for

muss. which would be very enjoyable to
outsiders if it was not so puerile and fire.
quently so dirty. The Bay journals are
quarrelling about the assessments made
on each for taxing purposes. and are ap.
plying anything but pretty names to theiI
brethren. Whether they severally pay
their proper amount OF taxes, we neither
know or care, but judging from the
merits of the quarrel in which they are
barking at each other like SO many ours,
their real worth must be very small in

YESTERDAY morning man named John
Brannan, from San Francisco, accosted
Gus Boito and requested the loan Of two
dollars. The applicant being an entire
stranger to Bolto. the request WAS de-
MED, when Grammar applied to Botto the
most cpprobrious epithets. and finally
struck him in the face with his fist.
Botto, taken completely by surprise,
started to retaliate, when they were sep
arated by Danny Mccain, who was con-
versing with Botto at the time. mo
ment after, Brannan again commenced a
TRADE of abuse, and assuming kneellng
position, swore by all that was holy that
he would have the life Of Botto before
the close of the day. The man, appar-
entity counting death. repeated again that
he would shoot Botto on sight, and told
him to be prepared. As last resort. in
defense of the repeated threats against
his own life, as Botto will maintain, he
drew his pistol and fired FIVE times. three
balls taking effect; one entering the right
shoulder. coursing upwards; the second,
passing through the elbow of the left arm
and breaking it; and the third entering
the neck, glancing downwards, without
severing the jugular vein, and lodging In
the body. The physician, after examin-
ing the wounds, pronounced them as not
necessarily fatal, though it is not yet GER
tain that he will recover. Botto was
released on $1,000 bail, to appear at the

The attention of a farmer residing in
Pleasant Valley was attracted yesterday
morning by red flag hanging out of the
cabin of Seth Hat, who lived in the same
neighborhood, about mile from Steam
boat Springs. Thinking that something
unusual had occurred be went to the
house, and, upon entering, found Hat
living on the floor dead. Upon examin-
ing the body it was evident that he had
committed suicide by shooting himself in
the head with a pistol. Upon the table
a letter was found stating his intention
to kill himself, and giving his reasons
therefor. About year ago he went to
his former home in Iowa and became en-
gagged to u young lady there. The day
was set for the wedding, and the matter
had progressed SO far that he had pro-
cured marriage license, when he was
informed of facts derogatory to her char
acter. He broke of the engagement and
returned 10 this State. Since his arrival
| the girl became the mother OF child.
Her father declaring that he was the Sc
Queer OF his daughter, brought suit
against him, rs he is the owner OF prop.
erty both in Iowa and in Pleasant Valley.
This preyed upon his mind to such al
extent that he determined to take his
own life, which he did in deliberate
and systematic manner. He was twenty.
three years of age, a native of Iowa, and
a farmer by occupation. [Virg. indie
