HE GERMANTowN MoB.-We have
been trying TO find some motive for tho
killngof Mutschler, at Germantown, last
Sunday night, but are yet at loss to know
Why number of heretofore peaceable
and orderly citizens should get together
for the'purpose Of ticking the life Of anoth-
er, on such slight provocation a. that civ
eli by the friends Of the parties who are
supposed to have done it. Mutschler was
a blacksmith, and was industrious and
sober. He had had some difficulty with
Mr. Hageman, and man by the name
of Holmes, and John Kelly made point,
according to their own story. of abusing
Hageman TO Mutschler, and finally they
say hey proposed to burn him ont. They
/ finally prevailed on Mutsehler to bring a
sack OF shavings, and agreed that they
would touch the match. .Mutschler, it
seems came up to Hageman's saloon with
the sack OF shavings, and on signal from
his confedcrates, some men in the saloon
/ fired on him, wounding him in the leg. -
lie was then arrested and taken before
Justice Buchanan, but no prosecuting
witness appearing, he was discharged -
He then thought it prudent TO get out Of
town, and started for Orland on foot. as
the stage drivers were warned not to car
/ ry him. Kelly hen swore out warrant
to have him arrested for threatening his
! life, and he was brought back to German
town, and bound over in the sum Of 81 ,0O0
to keep the paace, and was placed in
charge OF Constable McLone until he
could give il. In the night, the mob
broke into McLane's saloon, took him
out, and shot him. 1T is said that the
victim begged on his knees Tor mercy, or
for the privilege Of writing his brother,
but even this last request was refused
him. 1t is said that he was not.a very
strong minded man, and it seems that he
allowed Kelly and Holmes to prevail upon
him to 50 far engage in the net of burn
ing Hagcman S saloon as TO carry the
shavings to the place. This, even ac-
cording to the story Of the men who got
him into It, was the sum OF bis offending
There is some story told about some form
er incendiary attemps, of which Mutsch.
Ter was suspected, and, OF course, we will
not pretend to prejudge the case. Kelly
justies bis action on the ground that he
was acting in the capacity of n detective
in finding out and exposing a bad man. -
II is n bad piece of business, and will cost
the county II great many thousand dollars
before II is over with. Some Of the par
t.es who have been arrested, went out to
Campbell q Surgeons farm, to get them
to join the mob. John Kelley, Chas.
Hansen, Henry Holmes, aud c. Reguns-
berger have been arrested, and are now
in the county jail. NJ. Hageman, i. Todt
and Oscar Scholtz were taken to Willows
TOR examination and hold on SIC, 900 bail.

THE Work or THE SUPREME COURT.
Among the current beliefs in this State is
one to the effect that the Calendar of the
Supreme Court of California is loaded
WITH undecided eases, and that the Judges
are 50 overburdened with work as to be
quite incapable OF clearing the fle. Even
lawyers entertain this theory, many if
not most Of lhsn supnosrg that there arc
several hundred Of cases awaiting decs-
ion. This. however, like good many
popular notions, is altogether erroneous.
The truth is thnt there were not more
than twenty Undecided cases on tho Cal
ondar of the Supreme Court at the close
OF the last term. Some years ago the
work Of the Court did get very much in
arrears, but latterly it has been disposed
of 80 promptly that She Court may be
said to have placed itself l,'irly on a level
with the demands of the public. This
fact shows that under the existing system
the work can be disposed of without in.
crcusing the machinery, and in view of
the forthcoming revision of the Constitu.
ton the subject possesses considerable in
tereit and not little significance. Re.

This week We present to our readers
tho names of the non partisan nominees
for Delegate. AT Large TO the Consttn
tional Convention, r. far rs nominated.
At the head OF our columns is list OF
those put forward in the First and Third
Congressional Districts-the names OF
men whom the people Of California ir-
respective Of political differences, should
delight to honor, and in whom tho ut
most confidence may be repossd. These
nominations have been msde by repre-
sentative men Of the State, without the
disgusting wire pulling usually attendir g
party nominations, and without the So
lictation of even the nominees them
selves. One object has alone been in
view that of securing hsnest, intelligent
and capable Ten for Delegates to the
Constitutional Convention. In the Dis
tricts named, success has been attained
IN the nominations, and we believe tbs
nominees referred TO will meet with the
approval of II vast majority Of lhe voters
W Shi'lOI llH' - ulNcu uCttpU on tUt part
of the best clssses of oar citizens through
out the State is all that is required.
The Second District will mold n non
partisan Convention IN Sacramento on
Monday next, May Goth, for making like
nominations, and it is presumed similar
action will be taken in the Fourth Dis
trict. We feel confident that these will
put forward their best men for Delegates
Mt Large as has been done by the Con
pentions already held. Present indica-
tions are that the State Convention to be
held at Sacramento on Wednesday,
May 22d will be n slim affair and it is
suggested that those who attend can do
no better than indorse the Congressional
Distlict Non Partisan Nominees and
then adjourn.
Tho attention of our readers is directed
N the address Of the Executive Commit
tee appointed by the Marysvlle Con-
Scntion published in another column
1t tells just who and what the nominees
of that Convention are, although most of
them are well known to our people by
their past reco ds.

THE MARYsvILLE C0NvENTION. 49,
The Committee which assembled yestcr-
day to nominate de legates ut large to the
Constitutional Convention from the
Third Congressional District, Is represent
ed by our reporter rs having been com
posed Of excellent material. The ticket
nominated speaks for itself. 1t would
have been scarcely possible to have Sc
lected Il Inrger proportion Of able and
trustworthy citizens. JuGgs Belcher,
Marion Biggs, DR.. Shultlef Judge Mem
Shaaor, w. j. Tinnin, w. T. Heu,tis,
and John Kelly, are AL men well and
widely known, and men who have estab-
liShed regulations both for integrity and
capacity. The selections, moreover, cover
Il wide variety OF interests and occupa.
tons, and thus insure the representation
OF diverse opinions and political theories.
The Convention did not make the mis-
take Of choosing men because their posi-.
tions afforded presumptive evidence that
they would be like fah out of water in
Constitutional Convention. Some such
theory seems just now to be quite popular
in certain quarters, and especially with
the supple souls who desire to pandor to
the ignorance and prejudice Of the dclna-
sogue-ridden elements. The Common
sense of th4 proportion that the most
cultured and experienced and intelligent
men are certain to be the most reliable
representatives, Of the people in q Consti-
tutional Convention, happily governed the
action of the Third District Congressional
Convention, and the result is an unex-
ceptionable ticket. The work Of the
Convention is important in another way,
for it proves concusively that non parti-
san action can be had in the most salts
factory way. If the Second District
Congressional Convention does MS well as
this the voters will have as just reason to
themselves OH the method
adopted. Reco1d Ujuon.
