The ChIco aIassacre.

The story of the wholesale murder OF
Cinnamon near Chico. Butte County,
California, by gang of whites, is about
as disagreeable and discouragipg as any
which we could receive from that quar-
ter. Five Chinese agriculturists were
set upon in the night and their sleep by
the whites, were shot dead, and their
cabin set on fire. They seem to have
given no provocation except that OF
working on the land. This act of cruel
violence has created great excitement in
the neighborhood., We are glad to say
that the citizens Of the place have be-
haved very well, and are doing what
they can to bring the assassins to jus,
tice. 1t appears that there is secret
society in California called the Order OF
the Caucasians, and there is strong
disposition to hold it responsible for
this as well as for lesser outrages upon
the Chinese, Meanwhile, it must be OBJ.
served that the prosecuted race shows
no disposition to submit quietly to
wrong, The Cinnamon of Chico have
sent q deputation to San Francisco to
procure 81, 900 from the Chinese com.
panies, to be offered as q reward for the
apprehension aud conviction Of the
murderers. ,- aes -

south Carolina Habeas COrpIs
- h Jls Decided. za

CHARLESTON, March 20 Judge Reed,
in the Circuit Court to-day, rendered a
decision in the Flynn -habeas corpus
case, releasing Flynn on the ground
that Chamberlain has no lawful author
ity as Governor. The decision con.
cludes as follows: II am of opinion
that Wade Hampton was made Govern
or in and over the State of South Caro-
lima through the ballot box, in accor-
dance with the constitution, at the election
held on the 7th of November last; that
he qualified (f not following the letter
in the spirit and intent of the Constitu.
ton, on the 14th of December, last, that
he has been since then, and is now, the
lawful Governor of South Carolina, and
should be obeyed and respected aceor-
dinghy. 1t follows from these views
that D. A. Chamberlain was not Gov.
ernor on the Sd of January, 1877, the
date of the commission of W. F. Do.
yer as a trial justice for the city ol
Charleston, and that his appointment
and commission were without lawful au
thority." ssg @ b. 6a.o4

The look now is that Randall can not
be elected. Morrison has no leading
qualifications to commend him for the
place, and not few now say boldly
that he owes what prominence he has
already attained to the good offices OF
his friend, the late Speaker Kerr. The
danger is that 8. dead lock, in the organ
ization may ensue. The, South want q
Southern man elected, but the Northern
Democrats will not unite with them. =
The Republicans of the North generally
favor Garfield, but be can not be elected
because be can not get a single, Demo,
cratic vote. Foster can get the neces.
sary Democratic votes, but he can not
get all the Republican votes. Randall

j This singular man lived in Greece
He was distinguished for his eccentrici.
ties, bad manners, and bad disposition
1t was his chief business to find fault
For example, he took lantern one day
when the sun was shining brightly and
went out to search for an honest man,
thereby insinualing that such persons
were exceedingly scarce When Alex
ander, distinguished military gentle
man, raid him visit, and'inquired what
he could do for him, he had the impu
dence to tell him to get out Of his sun
shine." 70 cap the climax of his oddi
ties, he dressed like beggar and lived
in atub! He was sour, grabbed, crus
ty old bachelor. Weinfer that he had
no wife, first, because history does not
mention her; second, because no woman
would take kindly to one, sof his habits
dress or manners, or aspire to become
mistress OF his mansion. Z"There uwas
an old woman who lived in shoe.n it is
true, but the woman who would live in
a tub, and especially with such com.
panion, has not been heard from. The
misanthropic spirit which possessed this
man was doubtless due to disordered di
gestion and "a biliousness, one of the
prominent symptoms OF which is mo-
rose, fault finding disposition The
tongue is heavily coated, giving rise to {
bad taste, the appetite is not good, and
the patient feels dull, sleepy or dizzy ,ant
is apt to be fretful Unfortunately, Mr.
Diogenes lived several centuries before
DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellet,
were invented, a few doses of which
would have relieved him of his ."bile,'
ami enabled him to fnd scores of 'shon
est men" without the aid of his lantern
Under their magic influence, combined
with that of the Golden Medical Discov
cry, TO cleanse his blood, he might have
been led 10 take more cheerful view oi
life, to exchange his tub for a decen
habitation, to "spruee up" in persona
appearance, and at last have taken wife
to mend his clothes and his manners
both of which were in evident need o
repairs, and become the happy sire o
little Diogeneses who would have handed
down 10 posterity the name, not of {
cynic philosopher, but of cheerful
healthy, happy, virtuoas man! 81

q
E Public indignation has been ex-
cited in England by the treatment that a
patient with hydrophobia received in
the Glasgow Royal Infrmary. A dog
was purposely put where he could see
it, SO that the surgeons might watch the
effect, which was to throw him into. vic.
lent commissions. His horror of water
was intense, yet they poured water from
one vessel to another in his hearing,
and sprinkled his face, On recovering
from the ensuing spasms he protested
against the cruelty; but they continued
their experiments by tanning him, and
blowing in his face, which made him in
coherent and maniacal. The Lancet
says that no new knowledge Of the dis
ease could be learned by these things,
so that it was no excuse for them. The
surgeons are likely to be prosecuted. aa
