THE SEA SERPENT.-From our earl-
est reoolections we haze been reading
accounts of the "Sea Serpentr having
been seen, sometimes in one part of the
ocean and again q thousand miles or
more away. But these reports, although
published at the time, were generally
viewed with some degree of skepticism as
sailors yarns" But this skepticism
must give way to belief if the story of the
capture of one Of these monsters at Oban,
on the coast of Scotland, is confirmed.
According to a correspondent Of the
Glasgow NeaDs, one of these was chased
on the beach at Oban and killed with
rifles, after which rope was fastened
round its neck and, by the exertions of
seventy people it was drawn up above
high water mark. Its length, as it lies
on the beach is l0l feet lis greatest cir
cumference, about 25 feet from the head,
IL feet. AT this part is a pair of fins 4
feet long, and or the back is dorsal fin,
feet high in front, tapering down to l
foot, and u feet long. We now wait to
see if this is a "fsh story" or whether the
statement Of the Glasgow papers cores
pondent has any foundation in truth.

THE PARDoNING PowER.-Governor
Irwin is getting it right and left on ac-
Count of the free use to which he has put
9ais prerogative during the period of his
administration thus fa~. 1t certainly
does look as if it were not much use to
convict criminals, if they are to be again
turned loose on the community after
few months or years Of punishment But
let us look at the other side.
We will suppose n young man sentence
ed to a term Of imprisonment. After he
has served portion of his sentence his
friends. who have all along believed in
his innocence, or ut least in mitigating
circumstances, begin to move for his re
Lease. They circulate petition in the
caunty where the crime was committed,
and it receives numerous signatures-for
nearly every body to whom it is presented
signs it. Perhaps the name of the Judge
who passed the sentence, or of some of
Abe jury who brought in the verdict Of
guilty are on this petition. Meanwhile
ihe people do nothing. They, through
she proper officers, had once demanded
justice and it is not so easy to follow up
and secure its enforcement when the first
feeling OF indignation at the crime has
pasSed. Thus one side, and one only is
pre- entcd to the Executive when the ap-
,poal for clemency is made. Is it any
wonder then, that he listens to the plead
lngs Of mercy rather then justice, espe-
-cIally If, as is generally the case, the
condemned, has conducted himself while
in confinement in n manner to win favor
in the eyes ofthose having him in charge?
We think not, and therefore are not has
ty To condemn.
The public is to blame that it takes the
fir,t steps too easy when an Executive
pardon is to be applied for. The same
feeling which prosecutcs n criminal to
conviction, should be invoked to oppose
his release before the expiration of SEN
tence, unless urgent cause he show for such
action. Men should be careful how they
join in petition OF this kind unless they
have full sympathy with its object.

a WARNING To THE YoUNG.-Lieu-
tenan: Fleming, yourg officer OF the
United States Army, is the latest one
who has shown himself guilty Of official
dishonesty, and his case is truly one to
"point n moral" He was young man
of good parentage, fine education, holding
nm honorable position in the ranks Of his
c0untry's defenders, and married to a
young, beautiful and amiable wife. But
sfe allowed the passion for gambling to
take possession of him and we see the re-
suit. Every consideration of honor and
duty was sacrificed in his insane devotion
10 this baneful vice his private means
were exhausted and then he commenced
using the public funds entrusted to his
care. To supply means to crafty this
passion he borrowed money of the enlist
ed men. The day of reckoning came at
last, and he was placed on trial. He at
once acknowledged his guilt, and the
reason for it. What happened him may
happen any young man who is led
away by the fascinations of the gam
ing table. 1t is an evil hour in any ones
ii @ when they think there is better way
10 get r dollar than by working for it.
Most men have the disposition to gamble
born in them-it is an inherent part Of
th ,ir nature, and while il takes one form
W til some it takes another form with
others. With some men il is constant
struggle with themselves, to repress the
tendency TO game. The only way TO be
pcrset t'y SAFE is 10 never commence.

The WAR SITUATIoN.-There is little
change in position of the contending arm
les in Europe and Asia, 5ut those changes
are favorable 20 the Russians. The Cir
cassian revolt. which it was thought
would afford serious diversion in favor
Of the Turks, does not appear sufficiently
widespread to cause alarm at st. Peters
burg. The most important part of the
late news from Europe is that which
seems to point to a general European war
as inevitable. Rumors are rife of an al
laner between France and England, be-
tween Germany and Italy; while the
drift of public opinion in England is very
strong in favor Of the protection of Eng
lish rights against the advances Of the
Russian. kilograms from Vienna, Berlin
and Paris represent the Cabinets of those
countries as hopeless of preventing gem
eral collision.

SIsKIYoU ITEMs.-We gather the fol-
lowing from the Yreka Union:
Seven indictments were found by the
Grand Jury at the last term of the
County Court. Three of them were
for murder.
Green peas have made their appear
ance in the Yreka market.
A miner named Dan Sullivan was
caved on while working in his claim on
Coffee Creek. On being got out it was
found tina: one of his legs was broken,
but the full extent of his injuries was not
known at the time the item was written.
An emigrant wagon capsized over the
grade just above Mrs. Masterson's place
on Scott Mountain. One of the children
a little girl, struck her head against q
rock, inhicting injuries which it was
feared will prove fatal.

Weaverville, June Q, 1877.

THE CHIco TRIALS The trial of
Stainbrook, one of the Chinese murder
ers, was concluded last week, the jury
bringing in verdict of murder in the
second degree. 1t is a curious verdict
Stainb brook was indicted for murder and
he should have been so convicted, or else
set at liberty by a verdict of acquittal.
If it was a murder at all, it was cold
booded one and as such deserving of the
severest punishment. But the jury de-
cided on their oaths that the crime was
of secondary character, and we have to
presume they acted on he evidence laid
before them. Perhaps we ought.to feel
satisfied that, as the victims were nothing
but Cinnamon, the jury brought in a
verdict against the defendant OF any kind.
1t would not have necessarily followed
that a verdict of murder in the first de-
gree would condemned Stainbrook to the
galows. The law gives to the jury the
power to decide whether murderer shall
be hung, or imprisoned for life. Public
justice would have been better satisfied if
the verdict had been that way, as it is, it
looks somewhat rs though it was not
murder in the first degree to kill Chi
naman. ! ct the punishment following
these crimes, which grew out Of race pre-
jndice and the teachings of demagogues,
has been pretty severe, Less than three
months have passed since the crimes
were committed, and now all the par
t;eipants are eXpiating their offence
in tie State Prison. For with the
conviction Of Stainbrool, the other four
prisoners indicted for the same crime,
withdrew their peas of not guilty, and
pleaded guilty Of mulder in the second
degree, which pleas we've accepted
All were then sentenced ed-the four who
had pleaded guilty, to twenty-five years
each, and Stainbrook twenty-seven and
n half years imprisonment. 1t is long
Sine Tor mcn To look forward to they
viii enter the prison walls young men
they will not come out (unless pardoned)
until their heads are whitened with the
froSs Of age. Even q Cinnamon has
some rights, though not quite as good
ones as his Caucasian brother.

Nor CoRRECT.-Th Colusa Sun says
that "the Southern CdlJornfan and
Weaverville Journal are both pro-
nounced for Boruck as Senator to sue
ceed Sargent. The Sun is mistaken The
JOURNAL is not pronounced for any of
the candidates named for the position.
We do not propose to extol the merits of
any one man in preference TO another,
nor to complicate the election OF legisla-
tors by requiring candidates for the SEN
ate and Assembly to pledge themselves
in advance. The policy which we hope
will govern the Republican side in the
coming campaign will look to the nomi-
nation OF good men for the Legislature in
whose hands the Senatorial succession
can be safely left. We have no fears but
the State will be worthy and fttingly
represented if the Republicans carry the
Legislature, and that is as far as our
wishes on the Senatorial question go.

CAPsIzED.-F the Yreka Union
Of last week we learn that a teamster
hauling freight to Oregon started up
Scott Mountain with his load one day
last week on his up trip. One Of his lead
horses got to bucking and cutting up and
as a result the team and wagon rolled off
the grade. No damage was done to the
team or freight, but the wagon was so
badly used up that it had to be taken
back to Shasta for repairs.

BORING FOR GRAVEL. - Something
which strikes us as being rather new in
the mining line is mentioned in the Dow
melville Messenger. The Pliocene Min
ing Company will introduce machinery
on their claims to bore for gravel. The
diameter of the bore Will be eight inches,
and the Messenger says that in earth or
soft rock they expect to sinl at the rate
of sevcnty-tye feet day. The idea, it
seems to us is good one, when applied
to the prospecting Of places where there
have been mountain slides. Sinking
shafts or running tunnels is a slow and
expensive way of prospecting.

country which King appears to have
surveyed in 1875 and Powell in 1876.
Mr.. Kings work has been going on for
ten years and has produced results of
undoubted scientific and public impor-
lance, and surely there was no need of
Major Powell going over a part of
Kings ground.
The work of the United States Coast
Survey has always been under a single
head, and it is the admiration of scien-
tifc men all over Europe. If, however,
there had been three or four or half a
dozen coast surveying expeditions, each
taking a part of our shores and working
independently Of the rest, our charts
would be muddled, the work Of the
Coast Survey would have been the con-
tempt of men of science and it would
have cost probably ten times as much
as it has. Why should not the same
system be applied to terrestrial explora-
tions and surveys as to marine? 1t IAN
very easily be done. The whole Of the
surveys of the western territories ought
to be put under a competent head, who
should lay out the work systematically,
and who could then carry it on with
economy and efficiency. At present
much more money is wasted in printing
than in the field work. The annual
appropriations, the amounts of which
we give above, only the outdoor
work; the printing is extra, and we be-
lieve if a committee Of Congress would
collect all that has been printed at the
public expense in the last ten years by
the three principal expeditions we have
named, and carefully look up the du-
plications in charts and reports, it
would almost be tempted to abolish the
whole surveying business in disgust.
We wonder that some of our scientific
men have not called the attention of
Congress to this matter before now; and
as under President Hayes we are prom
ised various reforms we suggest here
an evil which needs attention. N. Y.

THE WONDERS or ANCIENT PERU.

The ancient structures Of Peru re-
veal great architectural attainments.
s.Their reservoirs and aqueductS give
a clear insight into their agricultural
STYLES. their bridges. roads and stone
edifces tell of their means of inter
communication ..WhO the primitive
inhabitants We're, or whence they
came. we have no means OF knowing.
We are ignorant of the Incas, yet even
before them people had existed upon
the very spot whose acquaintance with
the arts is proved by their monu-
ments." The Incas demonstrated
their advance. in their public works
which overcome basic aridity, and the
impassibility of their mountain
ranges. Ignorant of the principle of
the arch. and wholly without large
timber, they spanned their streams
and rivers by suspension-bridges,
while by an elaborate plan OF reser-
voirs they gathered the supertluous
overfows of the rainy season and
spread them over the thirsty land dur
ing the drought of summer. The sys-
TEN was universal. for without irrlga-
ton nearly the whole country would
have been dessert. They not only
constructed dams at different eleva-
lions in the streams. with side WlerS
to defect the water over the higher
slope of the valleys, but they built
their receptacles high up in the noun
tains. imprisoning the waters from
the melted SHOWS until they could be
made useful il moistening the ground.
One of these. in the valley Of the
Nepena. is three-quarters of mile
long by more than half mile broad,
and consists of massive dam ofstone,
eighty feet thick at the base, and car
ried across a gorge between two lofty
hills. It was fed by two canals at
different elevations, one starting four
teen miles up the valley ofthe Nepena.
and the other from springs five miles
distant. Mr.. T. George Squier, from

LITERARY
MARRYING A CLOO.

Godfrey Prime was a very success
ful merchant.
He had no wife, and but one child
"a daughter whom he adored. and
upon whom it was his delight to lavish
everything she asked for. ii money
could buy it.
Annis Prime was very beautiful,
and she was besides, girl of con-
siderable sense; too much. indeed to
be easily satisfied in her choice of a
husband.
She had many suitors, but none of
them suited her.
One day the merchant came home
to his splendid mansion looking like a
ghost he was SO pale. His hair had
grown several degrees whittier since he
went away in the morning.
Going to his private room he locked
the door and loaded his pistol.
If kill myself he said "Annis
will be obliged to marry some one Of
her rich admirers, because she will
have no home without. Icould never
endure to live and see her suffer the
miseries of a poverty which her
rearing has SO lily fitted her to bear. :"
Then he took the pistol in his hand,
