According to recent and eminent
Roman Catholic authority, that church
is now the richest religious body in this
country. The ratio Of increase in its
pecuniary resources from 1850 to 1870
was 1928 per cent. Official statistics,
published in 1875, give the number of
its priests as 5,074. the number of stu
dents preparing for the priesthood L.
273, and the number of churches and
chapels, 6,528. There were at that time,
80 theological seminaries, s. colleges,
$50 academies, CAS- parochial schools,

PARKrNsON's CASE.

The case of r. K. Parkinson of the
Carson Tribune, was postponed in the
United States District Court at Carson
last Thursday, until the End of June, in
consequence of the continued illness of
the defendant. Mr.. Parkinson who is
an Englshman by birth, is accused of
exercising the right of suffrage and
other prerogatives of an American citi-
zen without being naturalized. He de-
MES the charge and processes to be able
TO prove that he was admitted to citi-
zenship in California many years ago.
His case was set for trial some time
since in the United States District
Court, for Nevada, at Carson. He was
then absent in San Francisco, under
medical treatment for disease with
which he has been afflicted for years.
Not appearing for trial, his bonds were
declared forfeited and bench warrant
issued for his arrest, though his counsel
informed the Court, that illness pre-
vented him from being present. Hav-
ing been informed by telegraph, of the
action of the Court, he left for home,
though very feeble, and arrived at Car
son about the time the Marshal, with
a warrant for his arrest, reached San
francisco. The Court having been adj
vised of these facts, continued the case
until May Sth, and then in consequence
of the illness of Mr.. Parkinson, further
postponed it until June, at which time
it is hoped, defendants health will en-
able him to appear and disprove the
charges of which he is accused.

A MAN cut his hand badly with the
glass of broken window on a Massa-
chusetts railroad train and had the
wound dressed by physician at the
next station. The injury deprived him
permanently of the use of his arm,
through improper treatment, as he
claims. The weight of the expert
testimony was that, although great
skill would have effected a cure, the
country doctor did all that he knew
how to do. The Judge told the jury
that "a physician. is responsible for
that reasonable degree of care, dill
gence, and skill which are properly ex-
pected from all persons employed to
render skilled service, but is not
responsible for failure, unless failure
clearly proceeds from want of such
care and skill" He also held that a
physician in small town cannot
reasonably be expected to possess the
skill of a city surgeon. The verdict
was for the defendant.

THE CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION.

The New York Sun, the ablest of the
New York papers, and the most indie
pendent, fearless and outspoken jour
nal published in or outside of the great
metropolis, says of the new Constitu
ton of California:
1.-THE prevalent idea at the East re-
garding CALIFORNIA; new Constitution is
that it embodies the teachings and
political creed of Denis Kearney That
is a mistake, and one that does Kear-
ney too much honor. The new Consti-
tuition must be accepted as the express
sion of the will of the people of Califor-
MIA, for it was adopted, first, by fairly
representative body of the peoples del
egates, and then, after canvass almost
unparalleled in it's thoroughness and
bitterness, by the people themselves at
the polls. 1t is an aggressive instru
ment, unlike any that ever before
shaped the laws of a commonwealth. 1t
is a novel instrument in the science of
self government, and as such it will be
watched in it's workings with deep in
terest by the people in every part of
the civilized world. It's provisions are
80 directly opposed to established
methods, and in several particulars, as
we think, to the spirit of the Federal
Constitution, that it is certain to raise
many questions which will give en-
ployment to the Courts for some time
to come. The best test of good law,
and the surest death for bad law, is it's
faithful execution"

TELEGRAPHIC ITEMS.

A semi-official statement is made
denying the rumors again revived Of
the Cars intended abdication.
THE latest returns from the Califor.
mia election, indicate a majority OF
nearly 10000 for the new Constitution.
In the case of j. C. Duncan, of Safe
Deposit noteriety, who has been OH trial
for forgery in San Francisco, the jury
disagreed, eight being for conviction
and four for acquittal.
A Berlin dispatch says that Nihilist
printing press had been discovered at the
Office of the Ministry of Public commu-
nications i'll st. Petersburg. Eight Off
Gals have been arrested.
E. s. Hoyt, the present Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs, Washington,
was yesterday indicted by the Grand
Jury of Hudson county, New Jersey,
for conspiracy to defraud. He was
President of the Industrial Trust Com
pany, which collapsed last year owing
depositors over $4,000.
In the Chicago Custom House cases
yesterday, Judge Dyer overruled the
motion to quash the indictments, and
also the motion for bill of particulars,
and jury has been empanelled to try
the cases.
An Advent minister named Charles
Brown is announced to address the
Pocasset Adventists on Sunday. The
people threaten to tar and feather him
and ride him ON rail. Davis, another
Advent preacher, met two young men
in the road near his house yesterday
and drew his knife, cut up their nets,
with which they had been fshina, and
forbade them to go near his house.
The people are excited
The Woodruff scientific expedition,
which was to make a tour of the world,
collapsed yesterday, owing to a want of
support. Instead of 200 PASSENGERS
having been booked, as required to
insure the success of the expedition,
only about 40 persons had paid the
deposit of 500 each.

A PROBABLY FATAL AFFRAY.

liyities.

lFrom the Eureka Leader of May 9th
A very deplorable act, the result of a
triiing dispute, has to-day placed one
man over that terrible abyss-the grave,
and another in the position of Cain,
with the brand upon his brow. Last
night a social party was given at the
new Consolidated Boarding house, on
Main street. The party lasted until
close upon o'clock this morning, and
everything passed off in a quiet and
orderly manner. As the bar had been
in active operation all night, some of the
guests had imbibed rather freely. But
the party had broken up, the musicians
had gone home, and the house was left
to itself and perhaps dozen lingerers
about the bar. At about q o'clock
Oliver Webb, the unfortunate victim,
came into the house. He had attended
the party, and gone to his cabin and
changed his holiday clothes for his
working ones, and returned for his
breakfast. The landlady, Mrs. McQuaig,
states that he appeared perfectly sober
and ordered his meal from the cook in
his usual quiet manner, and went into
the bar-room to wait for it. Mr.. W..
Z. Dennis says that he was combing his
hair i'll the wash-room, and quite a
number OF men We're standing about
the bar talking. Among them he saw
Webb and man known as Hand
some Harry" He knew them both as
quiet men, but at this time they were
talking angrily at each other, and he
inferred that they had been drinking
freely, but had it not been for their
excited manner he would have thought
them quite sober. Soon words were ex-
changed for blows between the two,
and at length sad termination was
brought about by Harry Fallinger's
Handsome Harry drawing a pistol
and firing three shots at Webb, who
fell, it is supposed, mortally injured.
The pistol used was a elf-cocking
British bulldog One shot only
struck Webb; of the other two, one
tore into the floor and the other passed
into the casing of the door, Webb was
carried to his cabin west of Metamoras
! furnace and DR.. Bishop called in. The

No STATE LEGIsLArURE has been so
fully reported in the newspapers rs that
OF Delaware. Our people are noted Tor
active work, but not SO much for talk
ing. 1t has been considerable expense
to the newspaper proprietors TO secure
these reports, and We think our lesisla-
tors have not appreciated the efforts of
their State papers rs much as they de-
serve. The people, however, are kept
advised of every act that is introduced
and of its daily progress in its course
through both Houses, until its passage or
rejection. The present session, in the
matter of reports, will probably be more
full than heretofore, as the reporters are
all active and energetic young gentlemen,
intent upon doing their entire duty. In
this matter ii is hoped that the honorable

fairly in all that is presented or consid-
cred, will aid by giving them such infor-
