The S11vrR AGE MuEpxR.-As viii

The SILvIR AGE MuKDER.-As will be
seen by the report of the Grand Jury,
published in another portion of this
paper, the indictment against Joseph
Napione. charged with participation in
the murder of Beal and McCreery. was
ignored. Luis Badaracco. charged with
the same crime, was indicted for MUIR
der in the first degree. Napione was
held in the sum of $500 to appear as q
witness in the case, bonds for which he
was unable to furnish, and he is still in
Jail. Tho Grand Jury thoroughly sifted
the cases of both tho accused, and we're
almost unanimously convinced that
Napione had no part in the commission
of the crine.-ReueMe, June 10.

A correspondent of the Sacramento
Record has been interviewing Jack
Cotton the murderer and obtained the
following story:
When Caroline Norton was girl. I'M
married. this man Cotton first saw her
and took fancy to her. She married
when bot sixteen. in direct opposition to
her fathers will. Norton served term
ut San Quintin for horse stealing, and
license it was necessary for the betrothed
to commit perjury. 10 evade the strict
letter of the CRIME he very cutely marked
''1S" on the soles of her shoes, and at
the altar he swore that she was over
eighteen. Cotton drifted around the
world nearly ten years, ana last October
found and recognised Mrs. Norton, and
determined to possess her affections.
Norton was about leaving Gilroy to 60
to Santa Barbara and as he had two
teams Cotton was hired to drive one Of
them, and after reaching the destination
was employed as laborer. Slowly,
steadily he watched his opportunities, and
put in a word or a look, that tended to
ALLEVIATE husband and wife. Norton was
not model husband. Three different
parties inform me that five months after
the marriage, when the wife was in
delicate condition that usually COM
mands all of husbands tenderness,
Norton, while intoxicated, beat and
kicked her until even her own life was
despaired of. Twice she left him and
twice returned, during the years of their
married life. Lately, when Norton
spoke harsh. or sambled away his earn
ings, or got drunk, Cotton was ever on
the alert to point out the husbands i'm
Projections and poison the wife's mind.
At last he used to threaten in her pres
ence to punish Norton, and to put him
ont of the way. Two months before
the homicide. by actual brute force.
combined with direst threats to take her |
life and Norton's, he commenced his
villanies. He often told the poor frigh- |
tened woman of the number of people |
he had Int out of the way" for blow
ing about his misdeeds. She was con-
in fear of her life.

the Antelope range, and runs in almost
a straight line to the sulphur beds, which
are situated fourteen miles from the

LAST Monday, as an OK team was
coming in from the Pride of the Noun
tain mine, with a load of ore, the oxen
became SO thirsty that they jumped off
the bridge crossing the Humboldt river
for water, taking the wagon after them
and smashing things generally. The
wagon struck the ground within few
feet of the water. Had it gone into the
water there would probably have been
drowned team, as the river is very high
and flowing rapidly. We presume tho
accident will be lesson to the teamster,
and that he will hereafter be . little
thoughtful for the wants of the dumb
animals under his charge.-H,pnboldt

CERTAINLY the carpet of the Republic
can housebold needed shaking and beat

CERTAINLY the carpet Of the Republic
can household needed shaking and beat
ing and airing. if the dust which rises
from it under tho vigorous stirring-up
it got at Sacramento is an indication of
its condition. The party in that State
has not been so much excited in years as
it is now. Questions which have slum-
bered and slept are all at once discussed
in the iveliest manner. The platform
presents dozen live subjects to think
over and agitate. We anticipate very
lively campaign. We do not believe that
either of the other parties will present
any such an array of sound precepts and
principles. As usual, the opposition ars
attempting to belittle what's been done.
The Bulletin, which is the head and
brains of the Independents, is very
weak. It's sole effort is to ignore all but
the railroad plank and to prove that
same to be framed in insincerity. The
irrigation question, the education ques-
ton, the question of retrenchment in
counties and towns, the declaration of
independence from plundering schemes
and schemers, all these things.-never
before so ably and clearly and acceptably
presented, are wholly ignored. Mean
time, the San Francisco Chronicle howls
as If it had been squeezed in wise. It's
outcries are those of impotent rage and
hate. In its issue for Saturday it de-
nominees the work of the convention in
toto and will see no good in it anywhere.
Not specification of wrong doing, not
an item of bad principle, not an error Of
Judgment does it detect: but in an agony
of wrath it curses the whole work, and
spares not. 1t is enough that Gorham,
Sargent, Shannon, Carr L Co. did it.
That is the damning fact. In other
words Pi1ley is in storm of jealousy
and malignant cussedness. The dicta-
tions of the Bohemians have been I'M
needed, the soreheads have been left
with their scalpless heads exposed to the
sun and flies, and the plague of mex
prsssible chagrin is upon them. Bnt the
Republican party is to be busted with
good work, live work, work that itself |
may do better than any other party can
do it, Everybody but the Republicans
Who made that platform and whose Gel
egates have caused this healthful breeze |
is bewildered There is such world of |
life and freshness in the work done by |
the convention that the old drones and
croakers are aghast. The Bulletin is
aghast, the Chronicle like wise; even the
Record is dumbfounded be-
cause of losing its presence of mind over
the audacity of the railroad resolutions
Now let the Republican head men organ
lze their fight. taking their most ad-
mirabls of platforms as the outline of
their map. and before they know what's
hurt them, the slow coaches of the
Democracy and the recalcitrant dogs in
he manger of the Independent faction
will be so completely routed as not to
Know what end of 'em is uppermost.

Fifth District Court.
j. Burnett G Co. Us. John Janney. - This suit
is brought for $500 damages alleged by petit
TONERS to have been done them by defendant
on the Sd day Of February, 1875, in wrong
fully taking possession of six bills of lading
belonging to them aud violently and forcibly
taking and carrying them away from the right
full possession Of the plaintiffs without their
consent and despite their constant protest.
In answer to this demand the defendant de-
clares that he did go to plaintiff Office and re-
quested the clerk to lend him the bills oflading
for the purpose of making out detailed bill
for the freight, ETC.; that the clerk handed
him the bills, whereupon he put them in his
pocket and started away; that at this moment
he was assailed by VIM Frankenbush, one of
the plaintiffs who demanded the immediate
return of the bill of lading in such an insult
ing manner that he was made angry and re-
fused to deliver or return them as demanded.
That he took them to his Office, had them
copied and returned them to the Office of
plaintiff in a short time thereafter the same
day. That they refused to receive them, say
ing they had no use for them, having procured
duplicate originals of the steamer Natchez.
He prays for the dismissal of plaintiffs suit
and judgment in reconvention foz $3.50.
HTue evidence presents very unimportant
issues of fact, outside the simple one Of TAX
ing the bill of lading away from plaintiff.
The evidence discloses the fact that MIR. JAN
new did take the bill away. The case is an
unfortunate one, and illustrates the old adage,
errdre est hunadn,tn,.
After careful review of the authorities.
Judge Cullom said "The defendants re-
conventional demand has no justification in
law, and must be rejected. My duty is to
r cognize and enforce the authority of the
law, and thereby to justify persons in seeking
protection under its benign egis rather than
resort to violence and crime for the vindica-
ton of their rights. There must, therefore,
be judgment in favor of plaintiffs for one hun
dred dollars, with costs.

TEXAS PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY.

JEFFERSON, Texas, May 27.-In the session
of the General Assembly of the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church, to-day, the Committee
on Education reported the schools connected
with the Church as being in an encouraging
condition.
The report of the Judiciary Committee, ia
voring change of venue in church cases, was
non-concurred in, and the minority report
disfavoring it was adopted.
The Committee on Sabbath Schools recon-
mended renewed efforts in support of the
Sabbath schools and discountenancing light
literature.
The Committee on Temperance recon-
mended ceaseless efforts against the great
evil of intemperance; but thought it I'M
necess ary for any additional deliverance from
the Church on that subject.
The report was adopted.
The General Assembly will doubtless ad
journ tomorrow night
