THE RULING PASSION STRONG IN
DEATH.

The Assembly appears determined to
be consistent to itself throughout, and the
prospect of dissolution cannot tame its
native fierceness and turbulence. Yester-
day it had one of its characteristic rows,
in which language was used by members
of character fortunately seldom heard
outside of deliberative assembly. The
Speaker appeared wholly incapable of sus-
tanning order, and there was absolutely no
reason why a rough and tumble fight should
not have concluded the affair, save that
the belligerents wisely preferred to confne
themselves to vituperation. 1t has long
since become apparent that the chronic
violators of order and decency in the As
sembly are beyond the reach of remons-
trance or reproof, and since the Speaker
has abandoned all serious efforts to restrain
them, nothing but the close of the session
will rid the State of their bad behavior
What these members are, however, it is to
be presumed the people knew who elected
them, and we cannot in justice visit upon
them alone the disgust and indignation
which at least equally belongs to their con-
stituents. This is the first session in which
either chamber of the California Legisla-
ture has been not only guilty of but posi-
lively addicted to, unmitigated black
guardism, and we sincerely trust that it
will be the last so discreditably distin-
guished.

THE MCCLURE CHARTER.

This bill has finally passed both cham
bers, and is in the hands of the Governor.
It is measure regarding which the most
irreconcilable differences of opinions exist
and have existed from the first, nor is it
possible to reach any definite conclusion
in regard to it by observing the character
of its opponents and supporters, for it has
both friends and enemies among all classes
and kinds OF men. The member who in
the Assembly the other day declared that
it was &c the death-knell of Kearneyism, :"
appears to have formed more precise con-
ception of it than the generality have sue
eeeded in doing. 1t is variously described
as being bad bill and a good bill as a
monstrosity and as benefaction as ma
chinery for robbing the treasury of San
Francisco, and as a machinery for guard
ing the same treasury. 1t is said to be in
the interest of the machine politicians, in
the interest of the corporation grabbers,
In the interest of the law-and-order ele-
ment, in the interest of the best citizens,
In the interest of the worst citizens. Its
protector is extolled as a sagacious and
pubic-spirited gentleman, and denounced
as a scheming scoundrel. Its advo-
Gates are by turns said to be pro-
fessional lobbyists, penitentiary escapes,
political demagogueS, patriots, high
minded persons, and robbers. The press
of San Francisco is hopelessly divided upon
the measure. The local papers have
demonstrated it to be the most villainous
and the most beneGcent piece OF legislation
ever framed. They cannot agree as to
whether it will plunge the city hopelessly
In debt, or preserve it forever from all cor
rupt combinations. Meanwhile it remains
possible for the fifteen freeholders to
divest themselves of all responsibility in
the premises by presenting the Mcclure
charter to the voters for ratification or re.
lection. 1t is not to be supposed that the
voters will be any better able to decide
upon its merits or defects at the polls than
they have been hitherto, but at least they
can determine what shall be done with it,
and if majority vote for its adoption it
will not be long before its true inward
"ness is made clear to the least intelli-
gent. Until it is tried, however, it would
seem quite impossible to reach any trust
worthy conclusion regarding its character.

TIE BURMESE MASSACRE.


A curious dispatch from the English
envoy at the Burmese court states that
there is no truth in the story of the mas
sacre of seven hundred person by the order
of King Theebau. The information is
added. however, that all English officers
on the frontier posts have been recalled to
duty and refused leave of absence, and it
is intimated that an important movement
is expected. What movement such pro-
ceedings can foreshadow but movement
of aggression upon Burmah, it is difficult
TO understand. Nor is it easy to perceive
why any attempt of the kind should be
made, if King Theebau has given no recent
offense to civilization and humanity. THERE'S
one other circumstance worth noting, and
it is the fact that there is no English envoy
at present residing at King Theebau's
court, all the representatives of foreign
Governments having left there some
months ago, at time when the King.
in one of his drunken debauches, sought to
have them killed.

A MURDERoUs OUTRAGE. Chico
Record, April 18th, gives the following
account of an attempted murder Last
Monday, on the west branch of Feather
river, some distance north of Dogtown,
Charles Gunther was attacked and most
brutality beaten by a set of ruffians.
Gunther was left in an unconscious condi-
ton, and was supposed to have been dead
by those who committed the crime. He
remained unconscious from Monday until
Tuesday, when he regained consciousness
and crawled to the Skipper cabin, and from
whence the alarm was given. Upon ex-
animation Gunther's throat was found to
be badly cut, and one side of his skull
badly fractured and much depressed. His
wounds were dressed and he was removed
to the County Hospital. Those who ex-
amined the place where Gunther was
assaulted, state that the hemorrhage of the
wound were excessive. His condition is
very critical, and the wounds are liable to
prove fatal. Gunther is paralyzed on the
side on which the wounds were inflicted.
He speaks with considerable difficulty, and
remembers distinctly what occurred prior
to the assault, but has no knowledge what
transpired between that time and Thurs-
day. 1t is not known who committed this
beastly crime, but several parties are sus-
pected as having been implicated In the
deed

For legislative purposes, however, par
tial report might be even more useful than
thorough one, and if the Commission
should address itself to the analysis of a
hundred or so of the leading items of the
tariff, it might do more real good than in
any other way. The increased persuasive
power gained by combining analysis to a
few points has been shown already in the
examination of the tariff on quinine, and
of that on paper. By ignoring for the
time all abstract considerations regarding
the principles of Free Trade and Protec-
ton, and by laboring only to show just how
Protection operates in this or that specified
case, it is clear that the whole tariff may
be demolished in detail, and the folly and
injustice of each particular duty be demon
strated so powerfully that it will no longer
be possible to defend the system as a whole.
The way in which the tariff has grown
to its present monstrous proportions of it.
self indicates the true method of attack
upon it. No system or plan has governed
its growth, but the fundamental principle,
of protection to home industry, has CON-
PEELED assent in their turn to every demand
for the exclusion of foreign materials OF
manufactured goods, advanced by monop-
olists. Protection being patent system
for enabling everybody to prey upon their
neighbors, it has inevitably followed that
the more licenses to plumber were issued,
the more it became necessary to issue. II
A. was protected, so must B. and C. be
and then d. and E. and f. and g., as a
matter of course, claimed equal privileges.
There is no stopping when once this kind
of thing is begun and SO the tariff has
gone on swelling and swelling until at
last it is paralyzing commerce and manu-
features all through the country, and de.
feating its own ends, as all such laundering
and plundering fiscal legislation must.
1t is certainly time that it was put
to the test of candid and searching analysis.
for the indications are apparent that
unless some reform is soon instituted this
issue will split both the great parties, and
give rise to sectional disputes in which the
new strength of the West is very certain
to outweigh the greed and rapacity of the
New England and Middle States. Free
Trade is the inevitable future policy Of
the West, including the Pacific States,
and the politicians will do well to
recognize this truth before seif-interest
causes them to be brushed aside by COM
munities no longer content to pay toll to
the Atlantic Coast traders and manufac-
turers. We hope the tariff Commission
will be appointed, and that the selections
will be sound, and public men who hope
for future in politics should bestir them.
selves in securing this end.

A start was effected in binding storm of
rain. Almost as soon as the Jockeys colors
were discernable, Wallenstein on the highest
ground showed in front of Surveillance,
Prologue and Simba. These at three-quarters
of mile from home were a long way clear of
the rest. About two furlongs from the win
ming post Prologue, Simba and Fashion were
beaten, and Wallenstein, striding away from
d-Dance, won in a canter by three
lengths. Simba was bad third. Rothschild's

A DEFAULTER HUNTED DOWN By OFFICERS


OMAHA, NfB.. September 23.-The arrest
here OF Silas NJ. Waite on Tuesday was
made by w. II. II. Llewelyn and W. III.
Shields, special agents OF the Department OF
Justice. When Waite first left Bratteboro'
he fed by way of Duluth TO the Winnipeg
country, and at one time the officers were
only thirteen miles behind him, and knew
they were on bis track. He travelled un-
der several dtiaSeS-one OF which was
"Knight," another " Estclle," the latter
being his wife's maiden name. From Winni-
peg he went TO Wyoming. and, It's said, was
engaged in locating a large cattle ranch
there, which he bad already begun TO stock
with fine cattle. A few weeks ago the OFF,
GERS were hot on his trail at Bismarck, and
followed him up until Sunday last, when he
was definitely located in this city, where he
was stopping at The house OF Il well-known
citizen, whose wife and Waite's are sisters.
Mr. Shields had been for several days stop
ping at the Garfield House, and his char
acter and business here were unknown to
all. A days delay was made to get the
papers all in shape, and yesterday morning
The officers, after waiting until 10 O'Clock,
when his brother-in-law, Mr.. Freeman
Buck, and his family had gone to the fair,
proceeded to Mr.. Bucks residence 10 arrest
their man. They took with them Charles
Sweeney and posted him at the alley in the
rear, while they went in the front way.
Waite saw them coming and ran out the
back way and down the cellar, but seeing
he was discovered by Sweeney, who jumped
over the fence after him, he ran out again
and around to the front door, where be
was brought up in the arms Of the
officers. He made no further resist
ance, and was at once taken to the
county Jail. He entreated the officers TO
allow him to commit suicide, but they were
memorable, and took from him anything
that could be used 10 take life, knife and
a buttonhook being all that he had on bis
person. The officers at once telegrapbed
the news of their capture East. with the in
formation that large sum OF money in
bonds and stocks was also recovered, or
would be, and asking what disposal should
be made of them. 1t is said that twenty
thousand dollars ielegraphed to him within
the past few days is now lying in one OF the
banks OF the city. Shields left last night
with Waite for the East. Waite acknow-
lodges bis guilt, and says he will plead
guilty to anything.
