Our community was startled from it's u. uai quiet, on Inc m"IDing c: tuesday l.st. by the report which circul lied rapld- lY that Chris BAine had shot his brother in law Antonio Ruiz. The two parties married sisters; Bsine hires the house belonging to the mother in law who lives with his family; Ruiz, who had been drinking, was talking with h;s mother in jaw til after one o'clock thcrro, disturb. ing Salne who ordered hIm off lhe pre. IGises. Ruiz re,urued shurtiy alter ,eav- ms and Was ordered away three tiinea, Day iug no attention he eu,ered aud au vauced towards Baine who fired four shots, each taking effect. After Ruiz fell Balne went to Justice Brinley stating that he had shot, and he feared, killed a man and desiring to deliver himself into custody, Justice Brinlsy directed him 10 .Ee Sheriff t0 whom Baine went at once.
 Ruiz died auouI 10 \. M.; aL inquest Was held by a jury ot twelve men, wnoDe verdict states that he cane 10 his death f. Um line ,ttcrts of two gunshvt wounds, given inn about A. NJ. Un the Z9,h from d ilistol ae.d ill Ih>: hand of Cris. Baine
 During the forenoon Baine made his statement before Justice Briniey, and in the evening q preliminary examination was held, and various witnesses examined, the result of which WAS that Paine was bound over to appear before the Grand Jury and placed under ball of Sl,O9O.
 As in all questions, there are two sides to this one; Baine thought Ruiz had re- turned armed; be is small man and Il cripple. Ruiz WAS doubtless too much under the effect of liouor to know what he was about, as was shown by his con. tinuing to advance upon Baiue after re. ceiving several bullets; and until within month had lived st the house. We have copies of all the evidence taken, botl. before the Coroner and before the Magis. trate but deem it more prudeut not to l influence the public mind by publishing it. Baine's trial will take place in No. vembei and until q jury shall have decided whether he be guilty or not We have no ght to consider him other than an in- nOcent man. He is in the hands of the law.

FRIDAY, JULY A. 1879.
RI The special session of Congre

~ The special session of Congress
called by the president to make apprc-
priations OF money to carry ON the
government, adjourned last Tuesday.
This Congress has had deal of trou-
BILE with the president because he
wouldn't do just as they wanted him.
He dared to veto their bills, to the
number of five, which wero nominally
appropriations, but were loaded down
with political legislation. However,
the appropriations have been made with
the exception of that for the United
States marshals, who can get along
without great Inconvenience until the
regular session. President Hayes has
shown firmness and good sense in moi
allowing himself to be coerced into
signing bills which he thought would
be hurtful to the country, and has
gained the goodwill and the support OF
all true patriots by his courage and IL
deity to the country.

A Heavy Forgery in Boston.

James f. Edmunds, aged fifty,a we'll
known and highly respected citlzeh,
ex-alderman of Newton, Mass, Hour
and commission merchant of Boston,
was arrested Saturday night for
forging the name of Amasa Crafts
and Sands II Furber to q large amount
of paper. The amount of the paper ag-
Rregates $4,000. Since Tuesday OF
last week, when the forgeries were dis
covered, Mr.. Edmunds has suffered
from severe mental prostration.
The discovery of the forgeries has
caused intense surprise in the communi-
ty. The paper is all in the form OF
three or four months notes, which are
held by banks as follows: Maverick
National, of Boston, $4,000; Free
mans National, $4,000; Exchange
National, $l5,5OO; Newton National;
of Newton, $500; Pacific National, OF
Boston, $4,000; City National, of Bos.
ton 81 900, and Lechmere National, OF
East Cambridge, about So, 100.
Captain Edmunds, who is very sick,
was brought to Boston Sunday after.
noon, his physician accompanying him
and he is now locked up III the police
station. Besides the notes above sche'
duled, notes of his own, without in
dorsement, to the amount of some $l9,
900, given for private accounts, are hello
by various persons and firms in thai
vicinity. In addition to this indebted
ness, Captain Edmunds is subject TO 4
contingent liability of between $4,000
and $4,000.
Until these developments were made
it had been supposed that Captain. Ed
munds was wealty-that is, worth any
where from 0,000.to 100000, as i
was understood when, about year age
he retired from the firm of James +
Edmunds & Co., flour dealers, on State
st., he received $4,000 in cash as hi!
share of the business. 1t is not ye
known how long he has been utterins
forged paper, or if the amounts above
enumerated comprise the whole of hi
transactions. His general method wa.
to sign notes himself, forging the in
dorser who is never informed when thu
paper goes to protest; but in some in
stances he forged signatures. How o.
course is mystery to all his friends
but 1t is stated as a probate cause tina
about six years ago he lost $4,000 b,
the misdoings of trusty friend
and he and another 0person becam,
responsible for SOC, 900. Between $50,
and $4,000 of this amount has beer
paid off by Captain Edmunds, but hi
friends arc utterly at loss to know
what he has done with the remainde
of his property, though it has been as
certained that he has literally assistc,
others to his own financial detriment.

1t appears that Notwithstanding the
efforts of st. Petersburg correspondents
to explain away the socialist movement
in Russia, the facts 90 to show that Nj
hilism has radically terrorized Russian
society, and the government is appar-
emily unable to suppress tho conspiracy
because of finding il impossible TO come
face to face with it. 1t is secret up
rising of the people who have been
crushed by desp0tic power, and it per-
vades the greater part of the empire.
1t is moreover well supplied with mon
ey-a necessary auxiliary to any move
ment-and the Nihilists are unscrupu-
loas in the use of funds to carry out
their measures. 1t shows the preva-
lence of a vast feeling of discomfort on
the part of the people, and desire to
taste at least the elementary principles
of liberty. The Russian people do not
desire political liberty-at least, in the
sense In which the American people
understand it-but they revolt against
that interference with personal liberty
under which they suffer, as they never
are certain in the privacy of home that
some agent of the police is not watching
every movement and reporting to head
quarters the most harmless converse
ton.
The trouble must grow yearly, as in
formation of the free institutions en-
ioyed elsewhere finds its way TO the
people, and even the Ressian peasant
begins to think for himself. 1t is folly
to suppose that the military measures in
force can crush out this movement I'M
I'll the existing causes of discomfort have
been ameliOrated or removed. If the
car be wise enough to trust more to
his peoples good sense and inaugurate
the needed reforms, the country may
yet recover from the serious disease
which at present threatens to sap its
strength. On the other hand, if the
present policy is pursued and no re-
forms are inaugurated, the movement
will gather strength, and the despotic
throne OF the Muscovite become a thing
OF the past. In this enlightened age
even benighted Russia is coming to see
that q condition akin to slavery is not
adapted TO human beings, and the peo-
pie will not long endure it.-[Ex.
