Tragic tn.i of u Cis.i,ii,:; e.

New TX, september ! L. pi.v..
Of Heli9a;e and Long Island Sound gave
clambake al City Island yesterday to
congressman and other distinguished
persons residing for the summer OF the
Sound. Among the company was
Signor Nianni, said to be Of the suite OF
Count Carte. the Italian Minister. After
the clambake the company enjoyed
themselves making speeches and singing
songs. DR.. Doremus announced that
Sisnor Nianni would give 7, ritation in
imitation of EiStori. Nianni took hisp posi-
ton il the center Of the group. his voice
clear and well controlled, and his ges-
ticulations highly dramatic. His limbs
seemed to culver with passion, while the
expression OF his face VAS startling. He
finished with the expression. il Italian.
God, who judges all. will Judge this, -
He then took pistol from the pocket Of
his coat, and placing it to his temple,
fired. He fell partly on his face, per-
fectly motionless. Applause commenced,
when Doremus rushed forward, exelainl-
ing: He is killed." Many at first
thought il part of the entertainment,
but on lifting his body the horrible truth
became manifest. Nianni lived for half
an hour, but never spoke. No cause
was ascertained for the terrible act.

WILL EcE- CAGso<.-It IS highly
probable that Carson will be injured as
much by the failure Of the Bank of Cal
ifornia Is any other place on this side
Ct the mountains. Nearly every unlOr-
:ant enterprise in that vicinity was de-
pendent on the bank. The railroads,
fuming operations and timber business
were industries all developed by the
bank money, and giving to the Capital
degree of prosperity it could never
otherwise have attained. -EArehn Senti
mel, August 81.
The dependence OF Carson upon the
prosperity of the Bank is now very much
less absolute than i; was several yens
ago. The railroad, mill and wood com
panies operating here and hereabout are
measurably independent Of, though
friendly to, the Bank.

REPORTED OUTRAGE UPON AN INDIAN
While Levi Gheen. the Indian Agent,
was in town Shoshone told him that
an Indian had been shot through the
foot by coal burner. somewhere be-
tween the Pinto mill and Secret Canyon.
According to the Indians story, the red
man came to the coal camp for the pur-
pose of selling some pine nuts, when the
coal burner drew his pistol and shot him
through the foot without any provoca-
ton, and apparently out OF pure wan
tonness. OF course, the story should
be taken with many grains of allowance,
but if such an outrageous act has been
committed the offender should be ar
rested and punished to the utmost ex-
tremity Of the law.-EHeha Sentinel, 81.

COLUMBUS, MISS, Nov. 8, 1875.
EDS. CLARIoN:-Two prominent gen.
tlemen spent time, money and talent in
the Lowndes county canvass; indeed,
though not candidates themselves, they
did as much, if not more, than those who
were candidates They have not received
single word OF praise for their patriotic
efforts. The Columbus newspapers have
been profuse (and justly so) in praise of
the candidates and the ability with which
they conducted the canvass; they have
deservedly complimented VIM. III. Hum
phreys, Jr., Harris Field, Chas. r.
Tucker, Beverly Matthews, and others !;
but they have inexcusably neglected
SAMUEL NJ MEEK and G. A. JOHNSTON.
You know Col. Meek as well as do,
and you, therefore, know that I speak
truly when I say he is one of the most
brilliant criminal lawyers in the South.
When, therefore, he nobly volunteered,
and for two weeks abandoned his bust
ness, spent his money (the Executive
did not pay cent of his expenses) and
devoted his splendid abilities to the cause
of right, it was to be expected that the
act would have its influence, and it was
a thing to be regretted that the newspa-
pers, while they praised everybody else,
overlooked his services. Pretty much
the same may be said of Capt. Atwell
Johnston, who. though not an orator, but
being gentleman absolutely essential to
the business of Columbus (for he is a
banker). laid aside all other considerations
and devoted his time, money and abilities
for two weeks to the success of the good
cause. He and Col Meek visited every
precinct in the county, ard during the
whole canvass they made from one to
three speeches every day. And this,
too, when Gleed, the negro candida tie
for sheriff, owed Capt. Johnston several
thousand dollars OF course Gleed's |
election would have secured the debt. |
Col Meeks efforts were not confined |
to LowRdes; he worked at Macon,
Scooba and other places, and he invari-
ably paid his own expenses. '
Such services ought to be appreciated
and recognized. A. P.
