KANGAROO BILL,
Capt. Of the BushrangeIs.

A party of miners Immediately pro-
ceeded to the locality described expecting
to find the murderer fastened to a tree or
rock. What was their horror on ap-
preaching the place to find nothing but a
fieshless skeleton, every bone picked clean
until it g!istened in the sun. The bush,
rangers had robbed the murderer and
then driving stakes into the ground they
had fastened him, back down, to an ant
hill. The ants of Victoria are as vora,
cious as death. The murderer had Been
eaten alive.

AUSTRALIAN VENGEANCE.

A writer on Australian life relates the
following story in the Boston CONNER
ciaL Butietin: One evening on return Of
the miners to camp there was a terrible
outcry from one of the tents. Scores Of
miners rushed in a body to the place
whence the cry issued and found a miner
bending over his mate, who having been
sick had not gone out that day. The sick
man was dead, with a dagger in his heart,
ard the box on which he lay for a bed
showed evidence of having been broken
aud rihed OF it contents. The body was
still warm, showing that the deed had
but recently been perpetrated. The min
ers Immediately scattered in pursuit for
for the murderer or murderers. An hour
later man was brought in-one Of the
most vllainous looking characters | ever
beheld. His pockets were filed with gold
which was identified by the surviving
mate as the property Of himself and his
dead comrade.
There was no mistake about the mat
ter. Tho bags in which the dust were
contained were marked with the joint
names of the mates, and the identity of
the nuggets the surviving mate swore to.
This was sufficient to establish the guilt
of the accused. Some were for hanging
him on the spot. but the law abiding por-
tion of the community being in the ma
jority insisted upon his having a fair
trial. lie was remanded for the night
and a guard placed over him.
Next morning he was missing. How
he had alluded the guards they knew not,
but that he had escaped there ceuld be no
doubt. What was worse he carried off
the gold with him, which had been placed
in safe keeping in the prison with him to
be used as testimony against him.
1t WAS deemed idle TO pursue him, but
n description of the murderer was drawn
up and circulated and reward offered
for his capture, dead or alive. A week
passed away without any tidings being
heard of the fugitive. AT the end of that
time native came into camp, and leav-
ing letter for the presiding magistrate.
disappeared us suddenly as he came. The
letter was curt, but it was to the point
Mr.. MAGISTRATE :-Jem Bell (the
murdered man) was once matey of
mine. He was good man. You will
find Bill Grimes, his murderer, at the
head OF Dead Horse gully have kept
the gold for the reward.

Ir is very curious fact that of
all the billions of gold produced in
the United States during the past
thirty years, so little should have
been retained in this country. We
are now dependent for the increase
of our stock mainly on the balance
of trade with Europe, which has
ruled in our favor for the past three
years. We shall soon be rich in
coin from this source and we had
need to be, for the gold product Of
our own mines and those Of the
world at large is steadily going
down. The statistics are really
startling. The worlds supplies of
gold, which twenty years ago were
upwards of 200 millions q year,
fell to 96I millions in 1877, and SSt
millions in 1878. During the cur
rent year, it is believed, they will
scarcely exceed 20 millions. Cali
fornia, Australia and Nevada have
successively been the great gold
producing countries of the world.
Now, strangely enough, Russia has
assumed tho front rank. The pro-
duct of the entire Pacific Coast for
1879 will not exceed 16 to 10 mill
lions and of Australia IS millions,
while the gold crop of Russia,
which was 10 millions in 1877, and
IS millions in 1878, is expected in
1879 to exceed 20 millions.

wisdom in the proposition which
looked to the immigrants being
protected from imposition by a
committee of trustworthy citizens.
We hope the fact will not be over
looked that Los Angeles needs a
very special class Of immigrants,
viz, industrious persons with
at least small means. Above
all we need men who can start
manufactures and industries-em-
ployers of labor. We need capital
lists who can set out extensive
vineyards, and who can afford to
hold and grade their wines and
brandies. While such men are de-
sirable, 1t should not be forgotten,
either, that. there is competency
to an industrious man in a properly
selected forty-acre tract, if he has
means enough to carry himself
through the probationary period.

THOMAS B. BROWN, ESQ, the
Democratic candidate for District
Attorney, is a gentleman whose
claims should not be overlooked by
the voter. He is President of the
Young Mems Democratic Club,
and he was a warm and influential
supporter of the new Constitution.
While yielding to no one in our
appreciation of the eminent abili-
ties of Stephen M. White, Esq, the
pretence put forth by the w. p. c.,
in nominating that gentleman,
that none Of the candidates already
nominated were fit for the position,
is baseless one. Mr.. Brown is a
lawyer of fair ability, of winning
address and of an integrity and per-
sonal honor which make him an
ornament to the bar. He will
make an honest, high-minded and
competent District Attorney. 1t
is good that this is SO, because Mr..
Brown will most certainly be
elected.

WILLIAMS, the Workingmen's
candidate for Congress in the Sac
ramento District, having with
drawn in favor of Gen. Clunie, the
Democratic and New Constitution
party's nominee, according to re-
ports has been taken to task by
Kearney and has consented to
withdraw his withdrawal. Kear-
ney has always avowed himself to
have been Republican prior to
his present escapade, and it would
seem that he is straining every
nerve to have as many Republican
Congressman as possible. Gen.
Clunie, the Democratic nominee,
is young gentleman of great abil-
ity as lawyer, of persuasive and
winning eloquence, and he is being
assisted In his canvass by N.
Greene Curtis, the most popular
man in the district. With Will
liams out of the way, he would al
most infallibly defeat Page, al
though Page is q strong man, the
Chronicle to the contrary and not
withstanding, who has beeu elected
at times by majorities ranging
high in the thousands. The cloveu
foot could not haze been shown
more concIusively by Kearney than
in his persuadIng Williams out OF
of policy dictated by honesty and
common sense. No Workingman
who has kept his eyes open car
have failed to note the fact that the
only movements in the interest ol
the masses which have been made
in Congress have proceeded from
the Democratic side. Every gi'
gantic monopoly from which the
people suffer has originated In the
Republican party. Corporations
have been endowed and the public
domain squandered by it. And yet
we have professed labor cham
pion taking part in q conspiracy
whose sole object is to increase the
Republican representation in Con.
gress from California.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1879-08-23

GEN. SANFoRD'S canvas still
continues to make good headway.
He is unquestionably the coming
man. Strangely enough his most
formidable opponent threatens to
be Mr.. Clark, the Republican nom-
inee. The flamboyant vaunts of
John P. West and his supporters
are going to be falsified to an ex-
tent that will amaze their utterer.
The farming element is rallying to
Sanford's support and the Work.
ingmen of the city, when it comes
TO the day of election, will give
West the cold shoulder. They
have absolutely nothing in COM
mon with him, while Sanford
is a good hearted, courteous and
noble granger, who inspires con-
fidence by the manly way In
which he meets all the is
sues of the present contest. Gen
Sanford belongs to the school oi
the old Jeffersonian Democracy,
and the next Senate of California
will not contain a member who
will champion the rights OF the
masses with more fidelity than he.

CONSOLIDATION.


The matter OF the consolidation OF Viz
ginia and Gold Hill under n county
government, similar to that OF San Fran
cisco, has been under consideration IN
years past and Is again talked OF. The
proposition has always come from Vir'
giuia, and the people Of Gold Hill have
always opposed it as being OF no ad'an-
tave to Gold Hin. but on the contrary
very liable to b. q decided disadvantage
in many respects. Throwing the respee-
tive debts OF the two towns out Of con.
sidsration the expense Of maintain
ing tho municipal government OF Gold
Hill is proportionaisly far less than that
Of Virginia. Our Fire Department Is
at least fully - efficient. aud much less
expensive; our water pipe and sewerage
System very complete and much supe'
rior; our small town debt will DO totally
wiped out in q year Oh two. aud our
police system and general town Affairs
as well regulated. economically aud o.
acisn,ly administered as the same could
possibly be under any new arrangement
The last Grand Jury estimated the eI-
penses OF Gold Hill for the current cal
eudar year al SIS. 900. agains, SliO.OOc
for Virginia. which Is over half OF what
tbs estimate for that OF the whole coun-
~, showing an evident advantage IN a.
vor OF Virginia financially In the con
solidstion. Our citizens eoneeds tha,
there might DO some advantages to them
In the proposed arrangement. but they
are more than countsrbAlaneed by the
evident Disadvantages. Moreover. the
the typographical conformation OF the
county initiates against consolidating
tho two towns. The Divide forms a
natural barrier between them. forming
two separate communities, each besi
able to care for itself aud provide for its
own s.li-sppAront aud understood nscss'
stiles.
The above remarks have been induce,
through an expressed desire on the part
Of some OF our representatives, at Carsoi
to understand the desires and opinions
OF their fellow citizens aud constituent
ON this subject in case it should posi-
bly, be brought up for Legislative action
and We believe We express the news o.
most Of our responsible citizens. Th'
Nrvs feels in duty.bound to consider
the interests and opinions Of Gold Hill
in this matter. ~ paramount To al
others. yet IL not disposed to be a
all dogmatcal. Our columns are opeI
10 communications and free discussion
Of the subject. and hit can be shown
that consolidation will result TO the ma
tsriai or financial benefit Of Gold Hill q
well as Of Virginia. most certainly suel
an arrangement should be entered int
as soon - possible. and mono will NOR
freely advocate the measure than vii
the NEws. II. however. no advantage
to be gained. both towns had better re
main a. they now are. Let well enough
alone.
