=
dians Not Disappearing.
From the New York Times.I
The current notion that the American
Indians we're gradually fading away be-
fore the onward progress of the white
men has, ofslate, received several rude
shocks. Notthe least forcible OF these
are the arguments advanced bv Col. NAL
lery., He shows that official returns OF
the birth and death rate Of larger rum
her Of the tribes over which, in sccor
dance with treaty, The United States
Government exercises some measure OF
control, Indicate an excess Of births, and
this has gone on for long period,
that some Indians, the Sioux Confede
racy for instance, have quadrupled their
numbers in l40. years. and more than
double in the last thirty wears. Accor.
ding TO this authority, and It cannot be
denied that he has made an exhaustive
and impartial study OF the subject, there
are nearly. II not quite, as many Indians
living on this continent north OF the Mex
icsn border now as there were living 10
the same territory at the time OF 'Colum-
hus; while IL these who have q mixed
but partially Indian ancestry were taken
into account the number would be con.
siderably larger now than it was four hun.
dred wears ago. Col. Mallery estimates
the number OF Indians north OF the RIO
Grande River at about 500 900 souls, and
states that this amount would be a liber.
al computation even for precolonial days.
At that time the red men were not found
scattered over the inland districts Of the
country; on the contrary they we're never
fat removed from the seabosrd, the great
lakes, and the principal rivers. The rest
Of this continent seems to have been
wholly uninhahited; but travellers and
colonists met Indians when traversing
these water routes, and inferred from
thIs that the land lying hack OF them was
equally well inhabited. II Col. Mallcry's
DEDUCTIONS are true. the national con
science can he relieved of heavy load,
for the terrible effect of civilization upon
the Indian has been the subject Of more
poetic and sympathetic regret than any
other phase in our history.

SUIT FoR DAMAGES
George Bennett We. the Railroad
Company and Critssndsn Thorn-

George Bennett VS.. the Railroad
Company and Critsendsn Thorn-
ton.
Su. has been brought. in the Fourth
District Court by George Bennett plain.
tiff, against the Central Pacific Railroad
Company and Crittenden Thornton, de-
PENDANTS, for the sum of $4,000 dam
ages, alleged to have been sustained by
said plaintiff by the fraudulent and
malicious prosecution of the defendant.
The complaint alleges that during the
month of June 1877, the Cent al Pacific
Railroad Company had in its employ q
number of private detectives, two of
whom. acting for and in behalf of said
Railroad Company, caused warrant to
be issued for the arrest of plaintiff, and
caused him to be imprisoned n the
county Jail of Humboldt county on the
charge of having committed the crime
of burglary; that about the Goth of June
plaintiff was taken before Justice of
the Peace for examination, and the said
detectives and Crittenden Thornton,
attorney at law, who was in the employ
of said Railroad Company as special
counsel and AGENT, acting in collision
for the purpose. induced said Justice of
the Peace to hold plaintiff to answer
before the Grand Jury; that at or about
the time of said examination, George
T. Harding. District Attorney, and 8.
S. Grass. Deputy District Attorney, ad-
vised and Informed said Crittenden
Thornton and detectives, that no cause
OF action existed against plaintiff; that
afterwards plaintiff was prosecuted, the
law misqaoted, aud the jury imposed
upon to such an extent that they found
verdict OF guilty against him; that he
was confined at bard labor for l16 DAYS
with thieves and murderers, until his
case which had bsen appealed to the
Supreme Court, was decided by that
tribunal; that plaintiff was afterwards
brought back to Humboldt county in
custody of an officer, aud upon motion
of the District Attorney, who was con.
WINGED that no crime had been commit
ted, plaintiff was discharged by order
OF the Court; that since that time the
defendants have not further prosecuted
said case against the plaintiff. but have
abandoned the same; that by reason of
said arrest and imprisonment in the
county Jail and State Prison for 1856
days, plaintiff has been damaged 10 the
sum of 500, 600, and demands judgment
against defendants for that amount.

Chinese Ciaimsug that Distinction.
1t is not generally known abroad.
says the Times-Review. that Cinnamon
were mainly pioneer miners at Tusca-
rora district. About ten years ago
Messrs. Beard aud Lancaster opened up
some rich placer claims here, and
with eommendable enterprise. conveyed
water to the mines by digging canal
several miles in length. Those gentle
men gave John chance to work the
placers. and furnished him water at a
reasonable rate. The Chinese focked
hither by hundreds, aud in the course
of year extracted many hundreds of
thousands ofdollars worth of gold dust.
These Industrious delivers literally
skinned the camp with their sluices
and rockers, and it was mainly this sur
face skinning of the b lis and ravines
which subsequently led to the discovery
of our rich gold and silver quartz
lodges. Old Chinatown still remains
10 its primitive dilapidated ugliness,
aud John proudly claims that he is the
"plionee of Tustalola."
