"MURDER WILL OUT."-A somewhat
curious case illustrative of The truth of
this adage has lately transpired in this
State. In 1862 a man named Ashbrook
brother OF Z. p. Ashbrook, who taught
school at Weaverville some years since,
was killed at Green Valley in Solano
county. The murderer escaped and af-
ter time il was reported that he died in
Mexico. Recently a man giving tho
name of James NJ. Adams surrendered
himself to the Sheriff of Butte county at
Orovile, accusing himself Of having kiln
I'd q man named Mems at Sulphur
Spring Valley in S olano county, in the
Spring OF 1861. The Sheriff immediate
sy notified the Solano authorities of the
fact and received for reply that no such
murder had been committed. The man
Adams was examined by the proper au-
thorities, and pronounced insane. While
on the road to Stockton, he confessed to
his true name which is James instead oil
Adams, and circumstances point unmis-
takahly to his being the murderer of Ash
brook fifteen years ago. If James re-
covers his sanity he may yet suffer the
penalty of the crimes of which be stands
self-accused.

THE CHISHOLM TRAGEDY.-The last
act connected with this brutal affair was
enacted in Mississippi last week. Riley,
negro, was hanged for the murder of
Gully. 1t will be remembered that
Judge Chisholm was murdered by the
Kemper county mob, because, as they
alleged, he was privy to or the instigator
OF the Gully murder. On this bare sus-
picion he was beset By the mob, and with
his brave daughter who came to her faith >
ers defense brutally slain. Riley was af-
terward convicted of the crime, and on
the scafold every exertion was made to
induce him to say something duplicating
Judge Chisholm with the murder OF Gul-
ly, but the negro refused to go before his
creator with lie upon his lips. 1t will
now be in order for the Kemper county
chiyalry to trump up some other way OF
defaming the character Of the man they
murdered. We agree with the Spirit Of
The Times when it says that the friends of
Chisholm should not permit the remains
of the two martyrs TO remain in Mlssiss-
ippi soil, but have them removed to some
spot within the boundaries of loyal
State.

shufied off this mortal coil by means of a
coil of rope. lie was found hanging in
his room with his feet touching the floor
and the question Coroners Jury unsuc-
cessfully tried to elucidate, was whether
he was hanged, or hanged himself. In
support of the first named theory it had
the fact that Chinaman came to the
Sacramento station house and impaired
the information that On Goey was con-
demned to be hanged by Chinese Court
because he couldn't pay his debts, but
other Cinnamon declared he hanged him
self for the same reason. In either case

Of course judged by the statements we

CO would put its best foot foremost in pre-
senting its claims. But we watched the
canvass in Butte county last year with
some degree of interest, knowing that the
vexed question of the county seat would
pop up somewhere. We thought at the
time that Butte had not chosen it best
Republican, and were therefore inclined
TO accept the Enterprise article for gos-
pei. This county seat question has agi-
tated Butte for the last ten years and its
