THE GoLCoNDA MURDER.-A core

THE GoLCoNDA MURDER.-A coron-
er's jury held at Winnemucca, on
Wednesday of this week, to determine
upon the fact. manner and perpetrator
of the murder Of William McRavy at
Golconda, found that the deceased was
named William McRavy, that he was
q native of New York, aged about IS
years, that he came to bis death on the
End day of January, 1877, in this
county, by a gunshot wound In the
left breast, and in the opinion Of the
jury the wound was inflicted by Harry
Huff. The Silver State of Jan. 4 says
that Doctor Hanson made post NOR
tenn examination, which disclosed the
fact that deceased had been shot in the
left breast, near the nipple, the ball
passing through the lungs and aorta,
or great artery under the heart, which
undoubtedly produced instant death.
Several witnesses We're examined, and
the evidence showed that the muir
derer escaped from the Office in which
McRavy was shot through window
in the adjoining bed room. 1t was
shown that deceased received $l29 in
coin the evening previous to his death
yet only twenty-five cents were found
on his person.

WAS TT THE JIa.JAMs.-Theq ues-

in view OF the statement set forth in the
following narration, which We find in
the Silver State of Jan. 4:
Thomas McCabs, a passenger on the
express train yesterday, wss fright
ened out of bis wits upon arriving a.
the depot in this city. He imagined
that his fellow-travellers were intent
on killing him for his money, and q
coffin. which he saw at the depot,
seemed to confirm him in his belief.
He had some eight or nine hundred
dollars, and be offered every cent OF it
to those who surrounded Linn in the

officers were informed of his condition
and took him to the Sheritt's office.

That is an old remark NJ w, but like
wine, the better for being old, which
he uttered short time at % in refer
ence to those who are in vincible in
peace, being invisible in " ar. These
words express a truth " Lich is an
axiom in itself, and the pc ople every
where, are in thorough accord with
its utterance. The country is not
prepared for war; the scenes of the
last twenty years are yet too vivid in
memory for recurrence of the same;
too many hearthstones were des-
olated. too many hearts are yet pining
for the gallant dead. Garry out the
laws in spite of any opposition, is
good maxim in itself, but to settle
the Presidential question, other
means than a recourse to arms
car be advantageously employed.
The people are fitted to govern them
selves in an eminent degree, and we
have unbounded faith that justice
and right Will prevail, and that the
Republican candidates will be inau-
gurated at the time announced.
With them IN power for four years
more, with legislation and laws for
the peopls themselves, our future
cannot be otherwise than bright and
encouraging.

MODERATION.

In the present state of political
agitation, it is certainly an encour-
aging sign to find that all over the
South and North, there are men who
counsel moderation in the existing
affairs, ard who are everywhere dis
countenancing any thought or pros
pect of q recourse to arms. No
doubt there has been bull-dozing in
Louisiana and Florida; no doubt a
reign of terror has been rife in the
Carolinas and elsewhere, but we do
not yet despair of the inhabitants of
these States; some good men are
there, and those who have influence
cannot be otherwise than beneficial
to the race. 1t is only the hot-heaas
and enthusiasts, who are outspoken
for war, and they have, by no means,
the good of the country and the
maintenance of the laws at heart.

on every subsequent occasion that he
met this person. Such an extraordi-

who it was believed would interpose
specially to vindicate and shield injured
innocence. 1t was decided by his
majesty that this arbitrament should
determine the point at issue, and he &C.
cordingly ordered that a duel should
take place between Macaire and the
dog of the murdered Aubry.
The lower animals were frequently,
during the middle ages. subjected to
trial, and the process WAS conducted
against them with all the parade of le-
gal ceremonial in the cases of their
betters. Such an encounter. therefore,
between the human and the canine cre-
alton, would not in the fourteenth CEN
tury appear either specially extraordi-
nary or unprecedented.
The ground for the combat was
marked off in the Island of Notre Dame,
then au open space. Macaire made his
appearance armed with large stick,
while the dog had all empty cask. into
which he could retreat to make his
spring from. On being let loose, he i'm

presence of the king and the whole
court. This memorable combat was de-
picted over chimney in the great hall
of the chateau at Montargis.

Sound and Sensible Talk.

The New York Tribune of recent
date has a report of a conversation with
a brakeman at the Jersey City railroad,
In which the position taken by this
paper in reference to the expressions
perpetrated by railroad magnates. is
fully upheld Hear what the brake
man has to say about the way in which
the earnings of railroads are eaten up
by fashionable folly:
Right here. into this Jersey City
depot. there come at least dozen pri.
vatc cars, each of which belongs to
some grandec on one of the lines in
this system Now there is actual need
of some private cars on some occa-
sions. and if the gorgeousness of these
vehicles could be subdued trifie in the
interest OF economy and good taste,
and If they were only made to facili-
tate the business of the road, they
would provoke no complaint or COM
ment. But hardly u day passes with
out one or two of these palaces rolling
in here. Empty Pullman coaches are
running every hour. but the railroad
Pasha must have car of his own. He
may have his car all to himself, or he
may have all his friends with him.
The supplies which are furnished to
thes, luxurious travellers are not such

enjoy, but they are luxurious meals, in

suit. and all are charged to the compa-
ny. The occupants sometimes live in
