to come to a decided opinion. There
being but a few Chinese in this part Of
the country the same objection can

Francisco. The Mongolians here have
made us little trouble, and as a
rule have proved sober, peaceful
and industrious; still we have bad
nothing to do with them in masses,
which in San Francisco have become a
marked constituent element OF the
population, perhaps too speedily ana
under unfavorabie circumstances.
Their immigration has been stimula-

this respect has been abnormal, and
possibly it has been selfiShly and
unwarrantably encouraged in China.

ANOTHER MINING ACCIDENT.

About l o'clock yesterday afternoon,

mining accident occurred in the Flori.

at work with his partners in the face
of the drift on the SIS foot level, when
q ave occurred, by which Rogers was
quite seriously bruised and cut. He
VAS severely injured in the right side.
where a piece OF rock made an inden-
ton which, apparently, extended to
the cavity within the short ribs, ap-
pearing to be broken. He was also
badly bruised about the left side and
in other places. The ground being
cut by the drift is very treacherous,
and, notwithstanding the severe nature
of his injuries, the wounded man
would not leave till the cave was all
caught up and the drift secured. When
this was done he tainted, and had to
be carried to the station. Superintend-

riage, in which the brave fellow was
taken and placed under the care Of
DR.. Manson. His injuries were of
such a nature that he could neither lie

therefore supported in a position Lean

Gold Hill.

DEsERTED.-The Capitol yesterday,
says the Carson Appeal of the 4th, was
comparatively deserted, most of the
legislators having departed for their
homes in the different parts of the
State. 1t is like breaking up school
for vacation. and those of us who re-
main here will feel a loneliness for a
time. Although the Legislature may
have passed some questionable reso-
lutions and bills. yet on the whole the
session was an excellent one, and the
strangers on their departure bear with
them the best wishes of their Carson,
friends. Many of these were well
treated while here, recognized in more
instances than one the hospitality OF
our people, and they, too, express in
return a wish for the future success
and happiness of the friends they are
leaving behind. This interchange of
thought and good feeling is a good
thing in itself, and it is to be hoped
that the friendships formed within the
last two months will be lasting and
not lessened by a change of time or
place.

THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS.

Our dispatches to-day fail to furnish
us even a synopsis of President Hayes
inaugural address, but from what we
can gather from the manner in which
It was received and the comments of
the Eastern press, we hazard the con-
lecture that it was of a character to in
spire confidence in the hearts of the
better portion of the American peo-
Pile; that the policy of his administra
ton will be dictated by patriotism and
a desire to deal out equal justice to all
sections Of the Union alike; that the
President will soar above partisanism
and conduct his administration in the
interests of the people. The address
appears to have been we'll received by
the Southern people and is highly
commended generally by the Southern
press, the most vehement d~issenters
being the more disreputable politicians
of the North and their natural allies,
the carpet-baggers in the South. That
he has succeeded in displeasing them
il almost positive proof that the prin-
ciples enunciated were correct, tor
their adverse criticism is the greatest
compliment that could have been be-
slowed,

ACCORDING to a writer in the Paris
Journal, the Pope was not too fond Of
the late Cardinal Antonelli. Their
natures were anti-pathetic rather than
otherwise, and the Holy Father was in
the habit of playfully designating his
Prime Minister by the name of Barab-
has. When the Cardinal was dying
the Pope did not express the faintest
desire to see him. That the Secretary
of State remained so long in office was
owing partly. of course, to his talents
which Plus TX. could we'll appreciate.
though he could not like the man.

DAVID NJ.

Our telegraphic dispatches state that
ex-senator Key, of Tennessee, will re-
ceive the appointment from President
Hayes of Postmaster General. II the
report is true-of which there is but
little doubt-the act will operate most
favorably in behalf of the Administra-
ton, by insuring for it the confidence
OF the better classes in the South, mas
much as it will prove that its policy
will not be based upon the malignant
and oppressive spirit towards the peo-
pie of that section which characterized
the previous one. David McKendree
Key is a native of Tennessee, a law
yer by profession, and acknowledged
by all to be a capable and honest man,
which attributes doubtless commended
him to the favorable consideration of
the President for the position to which
he will be appointed. He served in
the Confederate army during the wal
rs Lieutenant Colonel of the Forty
third Tennessee Infantry. He was ap-
pointed to the United States Senate in
1875, to fill the vacancy occasioned by
the death Of Andrew Johnson. He has
always been an unwavering Democrat,
and was an elector on the Buchanan
and Breckenridge ticket in 1856, and
also on the Breckenridge and Lane
ticket in 1860.

The Davis Tragedy i'm Oregon-The
Weather.
PORTLAND, March g.
There is no new development relative
to the Davis tragedy, which occurred
near Portland last Saturday morning.
Careful and unremitting search is he
ing made by Chief happens for traces
which will lead to the discovery of the
perpetrators of this horrible crime.
All efforts thus far have resulted in
nothing definite. A Coroner's jury
has been in session two days examin-
ing witnesses, endeavoring to unravel
the mysterious murder. But little
light has so far been thrown on the
terrible tragedy, and the question of
who committed the deed remains un
solved. Thomas, who was living with
Davis at the time of the murder, has
been closely examined by the author
tiles and his every act and word SUBJ
jected to rigid scrutiny. He tells a
very straight and plausible story. The
~severest cross-eXamination fails to
elicit contradictory statements from
him. Suspicion at first was directed
toward him, but a very strong impress
sion now prevails in the public mind
that he is wholly Innocent of the fear
full crime. Tomorrow the Coroner's
jury will again to an
investigation. Certain parties who have
suddenly left the city since the crime
was committed, are strongly suspected.
The authorities are OF their track. No
murder aver committed in the State is
more horrible in its details, and it ere.
ates a most intense excitement in the
community.
