RUNK's PROTEsTATIONs.- Runk
under sentence to be hanged next Friday
for the murder of officer Coots, up till yes
terday positively refused to receive any
newspaper reporter, or have any conver=
sation with one. Yesterday, however, he
changed his mind and did receive one.
although he still refuses to converse with
any other persons except his mother and
sister and religious advisers. He now
converses with entire freedom of all the
circumstances of the killing. lie SAYS
that he was so intoxicated when he snot
Coots that he had no distinct idea of what
he was doing that he had never formed
nor expressed any intention to shoot him,
and that the act WAS done under some
momentary and irresistible drunken i'm
pulse. lie declares that tha pistol with
which the shooting was done was the
property Of Wilson, his young companion
whom Coots had arrested, and that viii
son had passed it to him that he might not
also he convicted Of carrying deadly
weapon without permit, and that there
fore the evidence of the Waverly-pace
women that he had aouriShed one was a
paIpabe untruth, for the reason that he
then had none to flourish. Runk appears
to entertain hopes that the Governor will
commute his sentence, but he allows
himself to express no emotions Of either
hope or fear, because OF the bad effect
either would have on his aged and devoted
mother Chr0aicie, 23d.

CALITORNIA's OUTLOOK .-California
10 to day one Of the busiest States in the
Union. Never before has the energy of
our people been so thoroughly aroused
And unless all calculations and signs fail
the end of the season will find us with an
immense amount of accumulated wealth.
Even the mistortunes Of the past year
have conspircd to aid in the development
OF our industrial interests.
The drouth of last year seems to have
destroyed the sickly and diseased among
sheep, cows and horses, and left only the
best to continue their good qualities in
their descendants. The survival Of the
tittest will repay the loss Of the weakest.
Another good result is found in the fact
that the drouth has proved SO injurious to
the tramping stock men that they are re-
tiring from the business and the men who
own farms and grazing land are taking
their places. This will distribute the bus
mess among settled farmers and give US
better material.
The wool clip from the sheep that have
been strong enough to withstand the peris
Of the drouth will be Of very superior
quality, though not SO great in quantity.
The drouth of last year had grand
effect, by giving the land rest, and the
soil is manilesting a degree OF vigor that
has not been seen for some years. Bee.

AN APRIL FooL.-m Yountviile dwells
a smart young man, but his cir! is smar-
ter than he. Nothing delights this young
man more than getting off IA sell on some
one; in fact no one is safe that asks him
a question. On Monday last he went out
to the ranch on which reside. his darling
and in course Of conversation asked her
ifshe had noticed the two white calves in
her fathers corral. OF course She said no,
when lie proposed that she should go with
him to look at them. Before she went
she excused herseifa few moments and
made some change in her apparel. Once
out in the corral she looked about and
failing TO sec the white calves asked him
where they were. This was his oppor-
tunity, and with broad grin he replied,
"They are under your dress anG are your
own" What was his dismay when his
charmer, gently lifting her skirts above
her dainty boot tops, disclosed to his ex.
pectant gaze an inch or two limb, cloth
cd in black stockings.-Ldhe Democrat.

PosTPoNIEG AN ELECTIoN.- Repre-
sentative Wigginton has introduced Il
bill changing the time for the election of
the California mombers to the next Com
gress from next November rs required
by the General Law, TO the day Of hold
ing the State election, in Septem ber,
1879. lie says il costs California nearly
quarter of a million OF dollars TO hold
each election, and AS one for Constitn-
tional Convention takes place in June the
State would be subjected to this heavy
expenditure twice in the same year, if an
election only for Congressman be held
next November. 1t is expected, how
ever, that the CalfoTnia Constitution will
be amended So as to make State elections
hereafter coincide with elections for Con
gressmen and President. The bill was
referred to the Committee on Elections
which has lsave TO report at any time.
1t will be supported by the California
Delegation unanimously. Wgginton
says he does not anticipates any opposi-
tion to it from the Workingmen's Party.
AS its passage would give them time to
organize and develop any strength which
the people may come to the conclusion
they are entitled to WELD.

Hon. WILLIAM ORTON Over taxa
tion Of the brain, and consequently of the
nervouSsystem, by overwork, has taken
away, at an age when he should have
been, and was, apparently, in the vigcr OF
manhood, at the age Of iltty-two years,
Hon. William Orton, President Of She
Western Union Telegraph Company
The journals speak Of him in very com
plimentary terms, and most, if not all
who have had his acquaintance personally
or only in bis official capacity, will join in
the eulogiams passed upon him. From
the book trade to the Collector of Inter.
nal Revenue of the Sixth District of New
York, in 1862; and three years later to the
Commissionership OF Internal Revenue
and then unanimously elected President
of tho Western Union Telegraph Com
pany-he showed himself in each and all
of these positions competent and faithful
winning the approval Of superiors asso-
ciatss, and strangers, in business relations.
But, like too many others, he worked too
much, too hard, and too long. Some con
stitutions will stand any amount OF labor
tor lifetime. But it is dangerous to
presume too much and too long upon
forbearing nature. Up to the day pre-
rious to his death, the man labored, brain
and body, not resting at all, even on the
Sabbath and suddenly the brain gave
out, apoplexy called, and he died.

THE USE OF THE LEMoN.-A piece OF
lemon bound on corn will relieve it in
a day or so. 1t should be- renewed night
and morning. The free use OF lemon
juice and sugar will always relieve n
cough. A lomon eaten before break fast
every day for a week will prevent that
fellizg of lassitude peculiar to the sp-
proach of Spring, Perhaps its most val
liable property is its absolute power of
detecting any Of the injurious and even
dangerous ingredients entering into the
composition of so very many Of the cos
metlcs and face powders in the market.
Every lady should subject her toilet pow
der to this test Place IL teaspoontul of
the suspected powder in glass and add
the juice Of lemon. If effervescence
takes place it is an infallible proof that
the powderis is dangerous and its use should
be avoided, as it will ultimately iniure
the skin md destroy the beauty of the
complexion,

MORE MoDERATE.-Relstive to the
order to office -hOlders, the President. in
recent interview, said: The Executive
order was designed to let faithful officers
understand that their first allegiance is to
the Government ard TO its interest and
not to parties. That is now very general
" understood. But "a to contributing a
reasonable share out OF their incomes to
meet the expenses of campaign there
can be no objections to that. II canno:
be demanded under pain OF removal, as
hitherto. Any officer may give or not as
he plesses without effecting his, tenure of
Office. ! expect to contribute my portion
20 campaign expenses, and will not object
if others holding office do the same. In
fact / should be pleased if they would.
As to the personal participation of Fed
eral officers in campaign, there can and
will be no objection to this, unless they
are used to promote personal interests Of
certain individuals, through the manipu-
MUM VI llIC B'biplIs'SN ttbb wv
ment of party machinery. Office holders
ought not to interfere SO as to overrule
the wishes of the people and subject
Republicans to alternatives of voting for
obnoxious candidates or submitting to
party defeats. The order forbdding Off
GERS of the Government to participate in
this sort Of thing will be vigorously
enforced bat after candidates are fairly
in the field, without the aid OF Conven-
tions packed with office holders acting at
the back Of the dominant clique Of
politicians, there will be no objection if
Federal office holders do their share of
work so long as it does not interfere with
their official duties. There is a strong
hope that the President and the party will
be united on this.

The SHORTENING OF LEGISLATIVE
TERMs.-The growing demand of the
people and the tendency of reform is to
lessen the time of the sttings of legis
la.ive bodies and increase the intervals
between their sessions. The Constitution
of the United States provides that Con
gress shall meet at least once a year.
1t has been proposed that the Constitu
tion be so amended that after 1850 the
sessions of Congress shall be biennial
1t is claimed tina: the too frequent tneet-
ings of Congress lead to the creation of
a volume Of confused, weak, useless and
dangerous legislation. The present Con-
gress met in October last. There have
been introduced in the Senate 100 bills
and 1900 in the House of Representatives
up to the present time. There has also
been the usual quantity of joint resolu
tions and resolutions requiring the action
of only one branch Of Congress. But it
is the constant disquiet awakened in
business interests and private rights
placed in jeopardy that stand as so grave
an argument against legislative bodies
and so loudly calls for their terms OF
life being shortened and their frequency
Of meeting abated. This will be one OF
the important questions coming up for
consideration by the trainers of the new
Constitution for ollr Stuta II has boan
very generally suggested that our Leg
islature should not convene until after
the New Year holidays, and that it meet
only once in four years.-AHd.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1878-04-27

THE PHoNOGRAPH.-The voice of the
phonograph in It's present state of per-
fection is that of person talking in a
loud voice in an adjoining room with
the door closed. Any sound, no matter
what, is faithfully reproduced. Laugh
ing, whistling. coughing, singing and
ordinary speaking. The invention is
yet in its infancy, ard what may be the
Improvements which will speedily and
probably follow it is impossible TO say.
Mr.. Edison has already succeeded in
makir & the phonograph sufficiently del
icate to record ard reproduce the words
Of speaker, talking in an ordinary
way four feet from the Instrument
The power with which the sound can be
reproduced depends entirely on the spe-
cics Of sounding board which is used
and on this point more decided results
will no doubt soon be obtained. At
present, in a large room full Of persons
there is no difficulty in hearing the
words distinctly from all. parts of tho
room. The amount OF talking which
can be recorded on small piece of tin
foil is marvellous. Mr.. Edison has sue
ceeded in putting 48, 900 words on sheet
of tin-RoiI about ten inches square. So
far, thin copper sheets have been found
to work most satisfactorily, and it is
probable that diamond points will ulti-
mately be used. Mr.. Edison is conf
dent that he will soon be able to repro
duce the slightest whisper rs well as the
screech of steam whistle.

CAMEL BREEDING IN TEXAs.-A Tex
as camel breeder, speaking of the rearing
of the "ships of the desert" says: "They
are no more trouble to raise than horses
or cattle. The colts for the first three or
four days are rather tender, and require
close attention, but after that, take their
chances with the herd. They feed on
cactus and brush, eschewing all grasses
that horses and cattle sat if the favorte
cactus can be had. The females, with
proper care, give a colt every year, and
the price at which they are sold, the ease
with which they are raised, their extreme
docility, and the sdaptabliiy of our eli
mate to their nature, would seem to indi-
cate that camel raising is profitable bus
mess in Texas. Mr.. Laniear says there
is one camel in the herd that has travelled
1870 miles between sun and sun, and that
almost any well broken camel is good for
more than 100 miles in day"

DANCER AHEAD.-Last week we men-
toned the proposed meeting Of the Re
publican and Democratic State Central
Committees at the Palace Ho.el, San
Francisco, on the oath. Although the
meeting has now taken place, we are not
Informed as to the action thereof, but from
dispatch to the Record Union, publish
ed elsewhere, we fear the COMMITTEES have
taken a step fraught with danger to the
best interests of the State. 1t is said the
intention was to nominate the Delegates
at large to the Constitutional Convention
naming four Republicans and four
Democrats from each Congressional Dis
trict. Such action, although unauthor-
lied, may not be so bad as will at frs,
appear, if the right men are placed in
nomination, but it is dangerous power
to be placed in the hands of few men
The people have demanded non partisan
nominations and in this District Con.
vention has been called and Delegates
already elected from many of tho coun.
ties. Similar action in the other Dis.
tricts, we believe, would have secured
better nominations and the selection OF
men who would have the confidence OF
the people to a greater degree than can
any put forward by the State Committees.
The idea Of strictly partisan Committees
putting up non partisan candidates will
not 60 down with voters. The better way
would be to nominate by District Con-
ventions and then let the State Commit
tees meet and ratiIy the nominations
Not knowing what action the Palace
Hotel meeting took, we cannot of course
either praise or condemn at this time,
Sut anxiously await report of the pro-
ceedings.

WONDERFUL are the ways OF cOmpro-
misers. A Boston merchant was recently
informed by Western CORES pondent
that certain persons were on the way tu
his city to try to effect u compromise OF
their indebtedness that they could pay
100 cents on the dollar, aud have S25, ,0O0
left. al you men East" read tha letter,
twill compromise with men that can pay
IN fall at 80 or - cents on the dollar, you
will simply make ali Western merchants
rascals, aud we will all compromise with
our creditors in order to compete with our
neighbors." The merchant who received
this letter thought it for the interest of
honest trading to put it into the news
papers, and so perhaps the little scheme
was balked ; bat it may do no hsrm to
mention it again. Possibly somo debtors
may try the same sharp game in other
cities.
