From all we can learn, The prospects
for the railroad were never brighter-
croakers and knowing" ones TO The
contrary notwithstanding. Over 5000
acres Of pine lands have alreauy been
promised, and twice that much more
can easily be secured. The people of
the county are almost unit in favor OF
voting aid; and a proposition 70 grant
the the full ten per cent. would be car
ried by an overwhelming majority.
spencer Brook, baldwin and Bluehill
are willing and ready to do their share
OF the work. And although The press
Of Anoka keep still on the subject, we
learn from various sources that the ma
jority Of the people Of that city are
quite favorably disposed towards the
Princeton railrod project; and why not?
Such a railroad would benefit Anoka
as much as Princeton and the inter.
venlng country. Everything is ready;
let us have the proposition.

Princeton has had sensation during
the past week in the shape of highly
exciting trial, or rather an examination
in which thecomplainat, Joanna Carew,
charged Andy Sinclair with being the
father of her unborn child. The ex.
animation commenced on Saturday
and in all decency should have termin-
ated the same evening, but it seems as
thought the presiding justice was only
intent upon making fees-he taking
down the whole trashy proceedings,
each folio represented Is cents and
Sit was late on Tuesday evening before
the great farce was brought to close
|: = and then The prisoner was discharged
from custody. The Commissi oners
will have something to say about foot
ing the bills. We do not care to re-
port the disgusting details, nor the
scenes enacted during the examination,
The general reputation Of the COM
plainant is such that very little sym
patty was manifested in her behalf;
the defendant is not much better. In
our humble opinion no warrant should
have been issued in the first place. It
is q dirty mess, and it is to be hoped
that the public hsve heard the last of
II. County Attorney Ross osecuted,
and A. 2. Barker, assisted by Judge
Keith and j. L. Cater. defended.

TOOK AT HOWE"

Should you feel inclined to censure
Faults you may in others view,
ASK your own heart, ere you venture,
II that has not failings too.
Letnot friendly vows be broken,
Rather strive a friend to gain;
Many a word in anger spoken
Finds its passage back again.
Do MOI, then, in idle pleasure
Trjf1e with brothers fame;
Guard it as valued treasure,
+ sacred as your own good name.
DO not form opinions blindly;
Hastiness to trouble tends;
Those of whom we've thought unkind1v
Oft become our warmest friends.

And when his warriors saw the foe
Like whelming pillows move below.

Till falls their flag, when none remain.
Well may the victors quake to tell
How Travis and his Hundred fell
Amid thousand foemen slain,
They died the Spartan's death
But not in hopeless strife; ... -
Like brothers died; aud their expiring
breath
Was Freedoms breath of life.

THE TURN-VEREIN BALL.

When Turner makes up his mind to
dance and gets himself in waltzing attitude
one may be sure there will be some dancing
done in a very thoroughgoing way. On
Thursday, which is LAY after tomorrow, by
the grace of God and the appointment of the
President, we are to have a Thanksgiving
Day. In the evening, after the roast turkey
has gone to roost and the pumpkin pie and
the plum pudding have retired for the night,
the festive Turner will attune himself to the
movement of violins and other instruments
devoted to the service of Terpsichore. 1t
will take place at the Turner's Hall. There
will be a distribution of gifts, and for some
thing extra, "a matter of 80 cents,) bounti-
full supper will be served. Go by all means
go and get a gift; go and dance and be
danced go and have hearty Thanksgiving
reunion, Turner fashion, and nice supper
along with your wife or your sweetheart or
your mother-in-aw. The MORNING APPEALS
dancing man acknowledges complimentary
ticket. He hopes to be blessed but he will
fetch up under the fddles and the smiles of
the fair and within reach of the supper table.

DEATH OF WALLACE BUCKINGHAM.

By the Virginia Chronicle of last evening
tleman who was known to almost everyone in
Carson, and who was universal favorite:
Yesterday afternoon E. L. Bucking ham of
this city received a Geographic dispatch from
Deadwood, w. T., informing him of the death
of his only child, Walter E. Buckingham-a
fine young man of % years, who left here in
good health and spirits but four months ago
to seek his fortune in the Black Hills.
Typhorid pneumonia was the cause of his
death. No previous news of his illness had
been received, and the announcement of his
death came with a crushing suddenness upon
his father. Mrs. Buckingham, the mother,
has been in San Francisco for the past three
weeks, and is expected here tomorrow. A
dispatch conveying the melancholy intelli-
gence that her only child-the pride of her
hearts, dead in strange land, was sent
below this morning to friends that will gently
break the tidings to her. Walter Bucking
ham was well known and greatly esteemed
both here and in Carson City. For three
years he was employed in the Carson Mint as
melter and subsequently in the Con- Virginia
assay Office here. The grief stricked parents
have the deepest sympathy of the entire COM
munity in their affection. The body will be
temporarily inferred in Deadwood City, until
arrangements can be made for transferring it
either to this city or the old home of the
family in Michigan

The White Pine News still continues to
inveigh against the hospital in that county.
1t says Stephen Kerr, who was accidentally
shot in the knee while hunting about four
weeks ago, subsequently brought to the
County Hospital, and two weeks afterward
had his leg amputated, died last Monday
morning. There are many people in this
community so unreasonable as to believe that
with proper surgical and medical treatment
this mans life could have been saved. Pshaw!
this is an old fogy idea. The quickest way is
the cheapest way. Poor Kerr is but another
victim of the neglect, or incompetency, or
both, of the present management of that in
stitution. Who will be the next unfortunate?
His grave is already dug on yonder hillside.

by him before the Territorial Pioneers of
California at Pacific Hall, San Francisco on
9th anniversary of the admission of that
State into the Union. This discourse is en-
titled Fact and Need; statement as to pre-
vailing repute and appropriate vindication.
The California Pioneer character, his achiev-
ments and his true place in history are the
subject of this allusion to "repnte and vindi-
cation" Mr.. Sumner deals with his chosen
theme with his characteristic acuteness and
vigor The address is well worthy the oc-

BRILLIANT DISCOVERY IN CALIFOR,
MA

In the Biennial Report Of the Controller
of the State of California, for the year end
ing June 80, 1877, we find the following
D. 14 "I came into Office in February,
1876, and the 9th fiscal year commenced
July LIST, 1875, and consequently the greater
portion of the property tax from the several
counties was paid in upon blanks sent out by
the predecessor of General Vaudeville and
under a system which I discovered upon
taking ofice,) was erroneous, but which
could not be changed until the end of the
9th fiscal year." to wit, July LIST, 1876.
Then he goes on to show how former Con-
trollers had allowed County Auditors to set
tie with Tax Collectors and Assessors, and
thus the Controllers office knew nothing as
to proceeds, and adds, "Therefore as soon
as practicable [ changed the form of said
blanks" etc., etc. Which we wish to re-
mark, and our reason is plain, that the sys-
tenn which this grand young State of which
we are colony, just discovered in the year
of grace 1876, by the wise Controller has been
in operation in the State of Nevada for the
last ten years if not more. 1t is quite re-
freshing to know that our ancient system has
been discovered.

in kempcr county, Miss, during the

sented to the Attorney-General. The
evidence discloses that the murder
of ChrishoIm was the result of de-
liberately planned conspiracy, and
that it was intended to kill the other
parties arrested with him. The par
ties implicated number fifty. OF
these twenty.one had been indicied
for offences against the election laws
in November last. The trials in the
State Courts were to have been held
prior to the massacre, but the indict-
ments were all stolen from the Clerk s
Office. The trials in the Federal
Courts were to take place in May
last, and the witnesses against the
parties to be tried were Judge CHS
holm, Rossnbaum, Hopper brothers,
and Gilmer. All those indicted We're
Democrats, and the witnesses were
Republicans. 1t was to prevent these
trials that the conspiracy was hatched,
the purpose being to kill all the par
