SEEKING REVENGE.

On the Sd OF this month, prominent bust
ness man Of this city had occasion to DISCHARGE
person who had been inhis employ fora mum
Der of years. The discharged person was i'm
pressed with the belief that another man who
IS employed at the same establishment, was
the cause of his dismissal, and he ACCORDINGLY
swOre eternal vengeance against his fellow
workman. A few days since the proprietor of
the establishment received an anonymous
note to the purport that if he did not discharre
sworn, within ten days, his business would
be destroyed by fire, and Furthermore. he
WOuld be assassinated some night at an early
date He WAS also warned not to treat the
threat as an idle one, but to prepare himself
for great evil If the demand made in the let
ter should not be complied with The par
ties most directly interested in this matter, are
for the present, DESTROYS that their names
should be kept out of print, for sufficient pri-
vate reasons. They feel justified in saying,
however, that the letter was either written or
dictated by the discharged man. Although
the writer Of an anonymous letter, be he who |
he will, is base coward, who has not the
moral courage to meet his foe face to face, let |
Alone performing an act which requires nerve |
and determination, even if it is criminal: vet |
that writer of the note can be apprehended,
lie ought to be punished. The whole affair is
simply cowardly burlesque,

OPIUM SMOKERS.

| On Sunday evening Deputy Sheriff Powers
arrested notorious Chinese opium den keeper
! on well founded suspicion of having sold
the unlawful drug, but as no positive proof
| of his crime could be had, he was released.
This Chlnaman was arrested once before,
prior to the present opium law going INFO
effect, and he convicted. Mr.. Powers
made two visits to that den the first on Sat
urday, when lie saw young, dissipated look
ing man there, one of the sort who hang around
faro games for the pickiHgs-up sake, lying
on bunk with Chinaman, who was Just
preparing pipe for him to smoke; but as he
was not caught in the act of whiting it, Mr.
Powers had no authority to arrest him.
When questioned as to what he was doing
there, he replied that he came for medical adj
vice; but his visit really was for the purpose
of smoking opium Mr.. Powers second
visit was on Sunday evening, when he saw
youag man belonging to highly respectable
family in this city, (4nd his name is only
withheld out Of consideration for his parents) |
y ing on bunk, stupefied from the effects Of
'I40 liIA'iAo"S III w. he WAS III |
such stppor that he did |
not heed the entrance OF the officer In this
instance the officer was also powerless to make
an arrest. The law is defective in this par
ocular; it should have provided for the ar
est and conviction of every white person
ound in one OF THESE infamous hells, unless
UGH white person could prove beyond any
question of doubt that he or she had business
f a respectable nature there. The foregoing
asses illustrate what fearful hold this vice
9kes upon q slaves of the pipe" when they ,
i'll brave the great penalty which the law at /
aches to it. 1t seems that the next great ,
uestion which will agitate the public
ind, will be, What must De done to break u
