hacked with knives as to render his
recovery matter of uncertainty.
Hannah Kern, a married woman of
Incorporate habits was found dead
near her residence on Shasta street,
this morning. When her husband
went to bed last night he left her in
the kitchen; she was under the infiu.
ence of liqnor at the time, and the
supposition is that during the night
she became more intoxicated and
while in that condition went out, and
falling down was smothered.
Rudolph Blumenburg was arrested
on Wednesday afternoon by United
States Marshal, on charge of felony
for which he was indicted in Wash
ington on the 5th inst The offence
for which he was arrested is alleged
to have been committed two years
since; at that time he was resident
of Washington, where he formed the
acquaintance of Henry Birch and
Patrick Culinare, both of whom were
temporarily impecuneons and wished
to borrow money on Government
bonds.
Blumenberg represented himself to
be man of unlimited means, it is al
legged, and having gained their conf
dence loaued Brick S17,60 on thirty
bonds of The par value of $1,000. He
loaned Culinare about the same
amount on $4,000 worth of bonds
Soon after he sailed for Europe, and
nothing further was heard of him un-
Til several months ago when he APP
ueared as a witness in the celebrated
Blumenberg case. Brick happening
TO see his name in the newspapers
went to the court and identified him.
The indictment had not been made
out at the time however, and the ar
rest was postponed until the necessary
documents arrive from Washington.
1t is said that Blumenberg obtained
over 100000 worth of bonds in this
way.
J. G. Riley, the present mana
ger of the Western Savings Bank, who
was put in to right affairs, stated this
morning to reporter that the parties
who held the dissatisfied stockholders
meeting last night, did not own dol
lars worth of stock in the corporation,
nor any interest in it whatever About
three weeks ago Weste had transfer
red to him and the principals in the
meeting last night, 500 shares of stock
belonging to his sister. After the
transfer Weste made application to
examine the books. All those requir-
ed by law were furnished him, but
when he demanded to see Clay's pri-
vate accounts they were refused. Ri
ley said that there was feud existing
between Clay and Weste and that the
latter, by bringing the bank into
bankruptcy proceedings would have
been enabled to show up Clay's man
agement and that to do that he was
willing to injure the bank. He ad-
mitted that Clay's management was
loose and bad but insisted that any
attempt to force the bank to liquidate
would now result in simply loss to
the stockholders. The depositors were
all secured.

and this betting on the price is all that
there is ~ this so-called law Of nature.
The price Of gold WAS governed by the
supply and demand of gold. modified by
the cupidity of gold gamblers. The price
Of all other things we're governed by their
supply and demand, hence we may search
the prices current in vain to find an in
stance where the trace of the theoretical
effect Of gold can be found to influence
prices, and yet learned men have the au-
dacity to get up and tell us that this ia q
law Of nature. Can absurdity 20 farther
than to declare that the results Of gam
bling operatlonc are q law Of nature.
There can be no comparison between an
individual note and greenback, for the
individual has no power to make his note
legal tender, whereas the government
has the power and uses that power. 1t is
true that 50 far as the government In con-
c-rned the greenbsck is an obligation to be
be paid, to the individual this obligation
is paid when the note is transferred to
another, and as taxes are due from all,
this note is finally paid Ia full-''redeem-
ed when the United States accepts it
for taxes, just as effectively as it would De
if il were exchanged for disk Of gold.
To make his case good Prof Sumner must
show that no one will take greenbacks in
satisfaction of debt, OF in exchange for
goods, until he can show this he is simply
beating the air and uttering words without
a meaning, INSTEAD u laying down the laws
