Particulars of the Killing of M. A.
 Sweeney.

Yesterday we received letter giv- ing particulars Of the murder of NJ A. Sweeney as follows:
 TRES AI.AMos, June 9.
 MIR. J. P. CLUN: 1 wish to give you the particulars of ihe murder of Mar tin A. Sweeney which occurrei at the mouth of Barbacomari creek, Tomb stone Mining District, on Sunday the 23d instant. MT. Sweeney mad been tn Tres Alamos on business and returning by way of Mir. BoyeIs camp, s.opped for dinner After dinner Boyer re. qucsted Sweeney to write .a notice for him (Boyer) claiming 1G0 acres of land 10 he used as a town.site While thus engaged they indulged in some liquor until both were more or less under its influence. Bayer then charged Swee- ney with being partial 10 Stanford < Co. (who are co owners with Boyer in the Grand Centra, mine) instead of ia yoring him (Boyer) who had known Sweeney so long. Sweeney denied the assertion, saying he had always been Boy CTS friend and still would be, rhai Bnyer's business did not concern him, and to let the matter drop. Boyer then spoke to Sweeney as being a shoulder-hitter and that he would not fight bim with fists. Sweeney an- swered that he could pound Boyer into jelly if he wished, but if Boyer wanted 10 fight him at all, he would prefer Boyer should choose his wesp- ons, name his distance and have it out in that way. Boyer then drew his pis. tol and placing it against Sweeney's breast said, This is my distance" ," and fired. Sweeney staggered out of the tent, Boyer following and still fin. ing, when Sweeney fell, Boyer shot hlm again in the throat. Five shots were fired altogether, two taking effect, one in the right breast and the other in the throat as before stated.
 There was no other provocation giv- eu than this. Sweeney bLing entirely unarmed. Previous to lhe shooting Boyer drew a pistol, Colts army cal ibrc 45, which was taken from hun by MT. Merrill, who thought he had dis armed him, but it seems he had an IXL pocket pistol with which be did the shooting. The feeling against Boyer is very bitter among the miners as Sweeney Lad made many friends since he came te camp, by his uniform civility and kindness.
 Boyer made his escape in the direc- ton of the Huachuca. These facts were elicited by an impromtu cOro- nef's jury held by the miners, who examined the witness and forwarded the papers to the sheriff in Tucson Tn the opinion of all in this vicinity ii was a cold blooded murder.

The GIiiett Murder.

We learn from the Miner that four members of the Gillett mob were ar rested and taken to Prescott, charged with the murder of Col. Taylor. They were examined on the 20;h instant be- fore Justice Cartier, District Attorney Paul Webber addressed the court, say. ing that the parties who diG the kill ing and those who stood by aiding, &c., were no doubt guilty of murder, but owing 10 the great size of the mob ,he difficulty to obtain evidence tha, would convict any designated number of them, and the great expense which must necessarily grow out of the pros ecntion, and after consultation with Gov. Hoyt and Judge Silent, he had determined, as a matter of public roli- cy, 10 move the cour; to disch0-5e the prisoners, remarking that, at the next session of the grand jury he should have tie matter thoroughly investiga- led. deeming it the more expedient, economical and perhaps quite as eff cacious as to press the matter before ihe committing magistrate now. The prisonurs were discharged.

Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-10-19

The Republican press are just
now engaged in despairing little
game of bluff, with the hope OF in
fluencing the remaining Congress-
ional elections. They are attempt-
ing to fssten upon the friends of
Mr.. Tiljen an effort to bribe the
Returning Boards of Florida and
Louisiana to let the votes of .he
people of those States have their
full legal and natural effect of elect
ing Mr.. Tilden, the man for whom
they were cast, for President. This
10 entirely the game of thimble-
rig. 1t is of piece with the Gro
yer Investigation in Oregon, which
resulted in every Republican witt
ness of any note going to the peni-
tentiary for perjury, while Grover
was entirely exonerated. The SAL
lent thing about this intrigue is
that it won't win, which is the
worst aspect anything could have
to thorough-going, partizan Re-
publican. Let them squirm as
they please, the die is cast and the
Republican party, in the next
House of Representatives, will
have, at the outside, one hundred
and ten members; and, probably,
only ninety. AS far as we are con-
cerned, we are not specially anx.
ious to establish an immaculate
virtue in the Democratic party. AS
we have lived, under high pressure
Republican professions of morality,
we have learned; and, as q result,
we are rather anxious that oul
party should succeed than that il
should prove to be something like
the White Hind Of Dryden's allie.
CORY. And success, we are pleased
to inform our thimble-rigging Re
publican friends, lies just ahead
Our dearest hope for the Democracy
Of the future is that they may, il
the language of the scriptures
prove to be "as wise as serpents
and as Innocent as doves" We
have some precedents ready to oul
hands which will prove to be high
ly useful in the future.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-10-19

The farmers of LSs Angeles
county are now in a better posture
than they have been for years past.
Very few of them have found it
necessary this year to sacrifice their
crops before they were fairly har-
vested. They can now obtain
money advances on warehouse re-
ceipts. We understand that the
insurance companies are also MAX
ing advances on grain in the field
The great mass Of our farmers have
excellent reason to congratulate
themselves. The changed system
will amount to hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars yearly in their fa-
vor. We need but one more i'm
provement in the financial facili.
ties of this county, and that is in
capital devoted to holding and
grading Los Angeles wines and
brandies. The distillery ought to
pass into the hands of n man of
means; and, should it do so, our
vineyardsts will share in the
general revival of prosperity.
Capital could not be de.
voted to more remuuerative
speculation because, owing to the
efforts of such energetic vignerons
as the Messrs. l.. J. Rose, Matthew
Keller and others, California wines
and brandies are becoming popular
and command much higher
prices than prevailed last year.
We think in the future it will be q
struggle between our petroleum
wells, orange groves and wine
presses Ito which will bring most
money into Los Angeles county,
with the chances in favor of the
latter. With soil so rich that
seven tons Of grapes to the acre are
very frequent experiences, Los An
geles county, some day or other,
ought to be- able to control the
wine and brandy trade of the
United States.
