Platt's Hall, where the Democracy were
assembled in full force. In few re-
marks he stated that the affidavits re-

the men who made them. The meeting
was then addressed at length by DR..

in the hall and on the street.
Some hoodlums calling themselves
anti-Coolieites have been sending threat
ening letters to several parties in the city
lately. warning them of the proposed de-
struction of property and sometimes of
life, in case they don't dismiss their CHI
nese help. One OF these letters, which
the recipient considers genuine, from
various suspicious circumstances con-
nected with it, is as follows: City, Sep

LETTER FROM HIKo.

HIKo, Sept. "a, 1876.
Since tie late homicide our people
have settled doTn into their old con-
dition OF chronic belligerence. There
have been no new developments in con-
nection with the killing of Ferguso n,
and indeed il would seem that no one
cares very much who did the killing
Such scenes Of violence are only the
legitimate result OF the condition of at
fairs under which We are living. In a
late criminal case, a man was taken from
here to Phoebe for cattle stealing; the
case was tumbled into and out Of court,
the prosecuting witness was assessed the
costs. and given the following practical
and feasible, if not very legal or humane
advice, by those high in authority:
Don't bring any more prisoners over
here, we've nothing to feed them on; if
any one steals your stock shoot them,
but don't bother Us with them" We
bow to your superior wisdom and sense
Of justice. gentlemen, living lin the
country as We do; We, for long time,
labored under the delusion that We were
entitled to some protection from the
law, but now We see that We were wrong.
There are no red checks in criminal
prosecutions and henceforth we will
settle our little differences withou. APP

law. If band of horse thieves steal our
horses, We will follow them, and if we
overtake them their funeral shall involve
the county in no expense. and so

and the Philadelphia Peace Society
would hardly approve OF this
method, but we like 1t; it is so much
less trouble and so much sooner over
Furgerson leaves a wife and six little
children to face the world alone. They
are certainly entitled to sympathy, and it
is to be hoped that they may receive all
the aid and assistance they may require
but the question whether they will re-

| doubts. Even now, while the body of the

A New WEAPON The "Times Of
1ndia" says: "A pistol that can kill at
500 yards has been patented by Captain
Burton. The butt is that of an ordinary
pistol; the barrel is that of a good rife,
cut short. and leaving sufficient turn to
send the bullet on its errsnd with the
proper spin. The chief object is to send
rifle bullet at an enemy or game with
out having to use the shoulder, especial
ly when on horseback. To accom- plish
this the barrel is fitted with a steel
handle to be grasped by the left hand,
while thu arm is extended like in archery.
The recoii is scarcely felt; it does not
effect the firer so much as kick to the
shoulder would do. The inventor has
also provided patent safety bullet
which will explode as shell when i.
crashes against the bones of large game,
but will pass through brushwood OF
through the skin of wild animal like an
ordinary bullet. 1t will not explode il lie,
fall upon its apex. but if fred into boz
OF ammunition will blow up every thing.
