CASE DISMISSED. We briefly alluded
last week to the assault made upon Mrs.
Lynch, Of the Mendocino Dispatch, by
y. l.. Carothers. A complaint for assault
was made against Carothers, and he was
arrested and demanded jury trial. A
great deal OF time was consumed in OBJ
tanning jury, and when the case was
tried it failedto agree, standing accord ;
ing to the Mendocino Democrat three
for conviction and nine for acquittal.-
Whereqpon on motion of the District At
torney the case was dismissed.
We presume that there could be no
difficulty in proving the assault. Hence
this action upon the part Of the jury indi-
Gates that q portion of them at least, held
Carothers justfiable. For the American
nature is somwhat chivalrous in its ideas
of what is due TO woman. The whipping
post bill, for the punishment of wife beat
Drs met with hearty commendation.-
Hardly any punishment was felt to be
loo severe for the man who would beat a
woman. Even now some of the papers
speak in unmeasured terms Of this net of
Carothers. But the Ukiah jury, with all
the facts OF the case before them refused
TO convict him when he punished the sur
cast upon the reputation of his wife. So
il seems that there is limit to the amount
of abuse and provacaton man is com
PEELED to submit to when his assalant is a
woman. The notoriety which both par
ties have gained by :he affair IS not q very
enviable one.

ZONE MORE Mrs.
McAuliff has been adjudged insane and
the County Judge has already signed her
commitment to the Insane Asylum. She
is still under two indictments for murder.
She will probably be discharged from
these on Monday and sent below on the
HHnbOtdt. This unfortunate woman,
childless by her own active cannot say
murder for she could commit no murder
is truly an object OF pity. 1t is we'll for
her that she continues insane. Better
still will it be, if she never recovers sufi-
cicnt capacity to realize the horror of the
act by which she sent her three prattling
babes into eternity, and embittered the
whole life of herself and her hapless hus-
band. God is merciful 20 her in throw
ing the shield of insanity over her, and
thus preventing her suffering mental an
guish, compared to which the torments of
the damned would be as nothing.-Eure-

INTRODUCTORY.

Having purchased the half interest Of
my late partner and become sole proprie-
tor of the TRINITY JOURNAL, newspaper
custom demands that | make my best
bow TO its friends and patrons in the new
capacity. Being a stranger neither to the
paper nor the people, it seems that on this
occasion but little need be said. Having
been closely identified with the manage.
ment Of the JOURNAL for a number of
years, its past course may be safely taken
as an indication of what is to come.
A glance at the heading Of this paper
will reveal the intentions of its founders.
" a Family Newspaper, Independent in
Politics, and Devoted to the Advance
ment Of Home Interests" And such it
will be my aim to make it. While claim
ing independence, politically, the JOUR-
NAL has never manifested that milk and
water neutrality which is perhaps more
noticeable and disgusting in newspaper
than elsewhere. Espousing the princi-
pies of the Republican Party because we
believe them TO be correct ones, we claim
the right to criticize and condemn bad
men and bad measures in that Party, and
TO commend whatever may appear good
IN the opposition ; granting our oppo-
nents the same privileges we claim for
ourself and endeavoring always to be just
nnd courtaous
The Advancement Of Home Inter-
ests should be the corner stone of To-
cal newspapers popularity, and the ma
terial interests of Trinity County will
ever find in US Jealous and generous
advocate.
As in the past the Journal has always
received liberal support, so is it hoped
for the future lhG usefulness ofa local
paper is in proportion to the encourage
}nent given by those in its immediate To-
cality, and the future success Of the JOUR-
NAL will only be regulated by the extent
OF homo patronage.
To our friends and patrons, here and
elsewhere, we return thanks for past ia p
vors, and respectfully solicit continu-
ance Of the same, in proportion as we may
in their judgment deserve.
