A DASTARDLY, CRAVEN
 LY CRIME.
A Fiendish Deed of Blood Which Cries Aloud for
 Vengeance.
Let the Murderers be Hunted Down and Brought to Jus finn

Let the Murderers be Hunted Down and Brought to Jus
 tice.
 On Wednesday evening, the 25th ult., a most foul crime was committed in our county, and once more the name of Pope coun- ty will be corrected with stories of blood and violence. In last weeks paper we said nothing of this crime, because our informa- tion was so meager and unrelia- ble that we did not wish to give an erroneous version of the de- plorablc affair. And as we had been informed by reliable citi- zen from the upper end of our county that a company of the best men of that section would visit the scene of the dreadful deed and institute a thorough in vestigation, the result of which would be furnished us for publi- cation, we deemed it best to wait for their report. We now under stand that no such investigation has been had, and as we have had no account of the affair as full and correct as the following which we find in the Independent Arkansian, we copy below the statement of the Arkansian's cor respondent, "T. J. C." The crime is a horrible one and no stone should be left unturncd to ferret out the authors of the devilish deed. Such outlaws and barba rians as they should be allowed to find no resting place in our county or state. The damage which one such character can and will bring upon our name is greater than can be counter balanced by all that ten good men can do. Not being inform ed what steps our officials have taken in this matter we are not prepared to censure them with tie fact that nothing so far as the public know, has been done to arraign sthe guilty parties. This much, however, we do say, and that is this: suspicion points strongly to a desperado by the name of Hughes, who, with few associates of like character, are generally believed to be the gull ty parties; and if our sheriff, his deputies. and the constable of that township have not taken steps and measures to secure these suspected parties, they have been guilty of & most fragrant neglect of duty, neglect for which there is no excuse. We think, also, that the citizens of that community are guilty of great indifference in this matter. Every law abiding man in that section should feel it his duty to aid, demand and HAVE an inves- tigation of this matter, and purge their community of the foul i'm putation of harboring, counte- nancing, or even allowing such hSSDSl laooCo u iCuuaiu III tilcli settlement. Who can tell us if this matter has been brought to the knowledge of the Governor? This should be done at once if it has not already been attended to. The following is as full an ac- count of the deed as we have heard:
 MR. EDITOR oR:--Our county is considerably excited over the at F tempted murdering of four Meth odist Preachers, who were on their return home, from Melville conference, on Wednesday even ing last, at Douglas Store, Pilot Rock Township, Pope county, A ,.iy

TO lie Editor Of TIE Pacific Commercial Adreytiser:
SIR 81 am sorry to see that you and your neigh
Dor of the Gazette, have started a discussion which
may lead to q controversy on Evolution as il
relates to the theories Of scientists, concerning the
time and way in which our earth was created. Mr..
Editor, don't do it any longer. Stop. before you
have fairly begun. You have other, and far more
practical business on hand just now. For instance,
there is our :" water supply - to be provided. We
do not yet know whether new forests ought TO be
planted, or whether it will do to trust to a fresh.
+" undergrowth,'' after the herds Of cattle shall have
been removed from our upper valleys. Then there is
our " inter-island Steamer to be arranged for.
Besides these matters, you and the Gazette have
now to discuss the " new Ministry" and tell these
fresh men what they ought to do. So please let
4" Evolution - lie over, at least until our scientists
have decided upon the exact time for q starting
point, and are agreed among themselves. Let them
have all the time they want. They can never go
back so far, be it millions of ages, but that the ac-
count Of the creation as contained in the Bible win
hold true. 'fIn the beginning, God created the
heavens and EARTH "He spake, and it was done.
He commanded and it stood fast"
You are aware, Mr.. Editor, that the views of
scientists have undergone material changes during
the past two or three hundred years ; and 1t is not
likely that wisdom and knowledge will die, with the
wise and learned of this generation. So let us not
be in haste to adopt any new system with a certainty
that it will be the last; and best. "The foolishness
Of God, is wiser than men," FooY.

An ESSAY ON New South WALEs-This is the
title of a neatly printed book, which comes to us
from the government printing Office, Sydney. The
author is G. H. Reid, author Of " Five Free Trade
Essays" The work is EXTREMITY interesting and a
very creditable one to the author. 1t presents in
a very readable form a vast amount of informa-
ton that is of value to the civilized world, respect
ing the remarkable progress and the resources of
the new Anglo-Saxon empire that is rapidly grow
ing up in the South Pacific We quote the open
ing paragraph of the preface: The Australian
Colonies have taken advantage of the Centennial
Exposition of the United States to make them
selves better known abroad ; and it is the belief of
the author of the following essay that New South
Wales, as the Mother Colony of the group, and
the p~ossessor of remarkable resources. which are
combining to make her more progressive than at
any previous period, deserves an effort to offer to
the world a view OF her advantages, condition,
and prospects, more comprehensive than has yet
been presented"
