METEOROLOGICAL PHENOMENA OF SMITH

T enclose herewith the result of observa-
tons taken three times every twenty-four
hours during the ysar, viz. Z a. M, p. m.
and 8 D. M. During the year 1876 the aver
age mean temperature was 1888. and the
amount of precipitation 1904 inches. AS
will be seen by tahulated statement. the
mean for last year (1S77) is higher, and tue
amount of rainfall considerably less. For
the information of your readers it is perhaps
well to state that the amount OF precilits--
ton includes snow, hail, and rain, the in

measure the hundredth of an inch. The fall

That Fire Engine.


A great deal of uncalled for
elimination and recrimination,
and a very unpleasant state Of
social intercourse between 9th
erwise friendly citizens, has
grown out of the circumstances
Of the purchase of a fire engine
for the city under the admins
tration of Mayor Gatzert. All
of this unpleasantness might
have been avoided by the exer-
else OF that degree OF forbear-
ance and common sense which
should characterize all intelli-
gent social intercourse. The
purchase of fire engine was a
measure almost unanimously
concurred in by the citizens.
No fault was found with the
Mayor and Common Council for
the purchase or the price paid.
The Mayor paid for the engine
by draft on San Francisco, for
which the city appropriated and
paid the equivalent Of $500 in
gold coin, the cost price and
charges amounting to about
$1,000 in city scrip. Subsequent
ly an official report from the
Sacramento Fire Department,
from which the engine was pur-
chased, credited to its treasury
but $500 as received on said sale.
When public attention was
called to the fact that $500 in
gold coin had been paid by the
city and only $500 had been re-
ceived by the owners of the en-
gine, or the official report was
false, we do not think there was
an intelligent man in this city
who entertained the suspicion
for moment that Mayor Cat
zert was at fault in the matter.
No man stood higher i'll this
community for public and pri-
vate liberaiity, and for unswerv-
ing business integrity, than
Bailey Gatzert, or was more
popular among his fellow citi-
zens for attractive social quail
ties. II he has lost caste in any
of these particulars, he has ouly
his own impetuous sensitiveness
to blame for it, which is cause
of regret toSQany friends whom
he chooses lt& ard as enemies.

his official acts, he would have
saved himself from humiliation
and his friends from much NOR
titication. The same remarks
will apply to the present city
Board generally. Their defeat
at the late election was not at
tributable to a want of public
confidence in the ability and in
tegrity Of the men so much as
to their assumption Of superior
ity to public criticism, and that
they alone were capable OF man
aging the city government and
should be sole judges of their
own acts; and this absurd idea
is perpetuated by their waillng
over the result as a great public
calamity; when 1t Will ue al
mitted by all fair men that the
Board elect represents as much
wealth, business capacity and
personal integrity as the pres
ent incumbents. There is no
cause for personal differences, or
reason for factious opposition to
the government in the fact that
one of two contending parties
triumphed by a fairly expressed
majority vote. All who regard
the advancement Of our city as
paramount to personal differ
ences, will give loyal support
to the administration of city af-
fairs in all matters Of public in
terest. This we have ever done,
and this is all we ask from 9th

What to Do with Them.

That is the reasonable and legit
innate demand of the frontier
settlers. It is the only safe
guard against future outbreaks.
Every savage who has taken up
arms in revolt should forfeit his
life. and the red Incarnates who
are IN sympathy should receive
such punishment as their crimes
deserve. By discriminating the
vermin now, it will be certain
that our Industrious and tolllng
settlers will not, when another
season comes round, be com
PEELED to leave their homes and
sacrifice their property to the
rapacity Of the vindictire and
blood-thirsty foe. II the hos
tiles, their sympathizers and ad-
herents had been wiped out en-

and mercy. Had the policy Tins
indicated cen adopteti Years
ago, it would nave been ii.tialte-
" letter for the Indians am.
would have saved thousands Of
lives aud millions OF treasure to
the whites. 1t is literally the
pJlicv all civilized people rUr-
sue towards the murderers and
outlaws of their own race, and
why, in common sense, should
the Indian be encouraged in the
qualification Of his savage pro
pensities by not only immunity
but rewards for his crime. Gen.
Wright was a noble specimen OF
a Christian gentleman; as gen
tie as be was brave; in whose
nature. cruelty and oppression
had no lodgment. In conduct
ing Indian wars he enforced the
civil law by military power. AS
fast as he caught the red handed
murderers, he tried, convicted
and executed them, and thus
struck terror into all their tribes,
and generation had nearly
passed away before there was
another outbreak among the
tribes which he thus dealt with.
Under the sentimental policy,
among the same tribes, out
breaks have been Of almost an
nual occurrence. After years OF
peace, from the time General
Wright was in command, the
young Modocs commenced a war
of murder and pillage upon the
white settlers, ending with the
treacherous assassination Of the
peace commissioners. The muir
derers, when caught, instead OF
paying the penalty OF their
crimes, were treated as the hon
ored guests of the nation and
secured, together with their FAM
lilies In lives Of idleness and lux
ury. This melted Joseph last
year, to achieve for himself like
distinction and reward by the
same murdcrous acts. After a
vast expenditure of life and
treasure, he too, was captured,
and honors and emoluments be
slowed upon him in proportion

Gov. Ferry for entering a libel
suit against the publisher of a

ing his character, please inform
