royalty to three millionaires in New En-
gland these purblind people have had
their eyes opened at last, and now that
the tariff assails their own business they
are capable of recognizing the equities and
the advantages of Free Trade. As the
case stands five paper-making firms are
able to compel the whole press OF the
United States to pay them tribute. There
is plenty of paper to be had in the world,
out American printers are debarred the
use of it, A paternal government has
erected stout fence all round the country,
and has decreed that whoever publishes
paper here shall pay whatever the monop-
olists demand, no matter whether the
demand is extortionate or not. The
increase in the price of paper, representing
as it does no increase in the cost of the
materials from which the paper is made,
is literally and simply a robbery.
1t is robbery, moreover, which is made
possible by the Congress of the United
States, which grants letters of mardue to
the paper makers to go forth and sink,
burn and destroy" the publishers. The
spectacle of the press of the country thus
placed at the mercy of little ring of man.
ufacturers, and compelled to forego its le-
gitimate profits, to curtail its enterprises,
to cut down its employees, to resort to all
kinds of shifts and devices to make both
ends meet, is certainly an edifying one.
And we are not without hope that the lesson
will indeed be to ediication, for assuredly
the press has its own shortsightedness
to thank for the existence of the tariff
which is now making its way so hard.
1t has supported and defended Protection.
1t has furnished the sophistries with which
the tariffites have STAYED off reform. 1t has
fortified and indurated popular ignorance
and prejudice in this connection. 1t has
disseminated the belief that Protection
was somehow beneficial doctrine, and
that it was necessary to the greatness OF
the country. And now the viper 1t nour-
ished in its bosom acts after the manner of
its kind, and fastens its venomous fangs in
the flesh of its protector. 1t is sharp and
bitter lesson, but we think it will prove
effectual After all there is nothing like
personal experience to promote just con-
ceptions of systems or things. The press
now knows of its own knowledge exactly
how Protection operates to encourage
"home industry" and hereafter when the
tariff men come for their customary help,
it is quite probable that they may be dis
appointed. The paper duty is tax upon
knowledge, upon civilization, upon enlight-
eminent, upon patriotism, upon good gov
eminent, and yet Congress has proved i'm
penetrable to all protests and arguments
against it. Will the American Press help
to elect another Congress in the interest of
Protection, with this experience fresh in
mind And will not the light which this
paper episode has thrown upon the methods
and tendencies of Protection serve also to
show the way to radical reform of the
whole tariff? We believe, nay, we predict,
that it will

MARYsvILLE, April 19th.-A cold. pene-
trating rain has been falling all day. The
mountains east of us are capped with snow.
The farmers are satisfied with what rain has
fallen now, and want cessation OF hostili-
ties.
SUIsUN. - The weather continues very
stormy. Some of the farmers begin to wear
long faces, but generally speaking they think
all is well, from the fact that the grain had
become well rooted before the rain came.
Had it not been for the frost and the north
wind which started the grain, this rain might
have been disastrous. About 20 inches of
rain has fallen here, and about so inches in
the hills near here.
RIO VIsTA.-The rain, which yesterday
seemed to have spent itself, returned again
this morning. About a quarter of an inch
has fallen to-day, and still it keeps coming.
The feeling of uneasiness among the farmers
is increasing.
GoNZALEs.-T most remarkable storm of
rain we have had for years began here on the
evening of April 10th, and continued up to
April 18th, A. NJ. The mountains and foot
hills are covered with snow, while the Salinas
valley got an abundance of rain. and in the
vicinity of Gonzales everything is in a re-
markably prosperous and good condition.
Should no blight come, We will be blest
with good crops of barley, wheat and other
crops.
GRASS VALLEY.-The storm continues. 1t

Hanged To-day at Portland.
PORTLAND, April 19th.-In the United
States Circuit Court this morning Judge
Deadly delivered an able and exhaustive
opinion in the matter of the application for
writ of habeas corpus in the case of All Lee.
The Court held that both the State Circuit
Court and Supreme Court of Oregon were
de facto tribunals, and had authority to try
and determine the case of petitioner and also
held that petitioner was restrained by due
and regular process of law administered by
tribunals of competent jurisdiction, and such
being his conclusion the application for writ
was denied. This settles beyond question the
doom of All Lee, the consideration of whose
case has been in the Courts for nearly two
years. Sheriff Norden is making all neces-
sary preparations, and will carry the sentence
of death into execution tomorrow between
the hours of 10 A. NJ. and Up. NJ.

A CURIosITY.-Th Oroville Mercury
tells the following story of remarkable
freak of nature:
Fred Wellington, of Yankee HID, for
warded to San Francisco, Monday, one of
the most remarkable freaks of nature that
we have ever seen. 1t was a double
breasted, two-headed, three legged, four
winged chicken, of the white Leghorn
species. There appeared to be but one
body, but two backbones. Between the
latter were located two perfectly formed
but very small wings while on each side
of the bird was a full sized wing Both
breasts were perfect The backbones came
together at the tail end of the fowl, but in
front each terminated in separate neck.
Though possessing three legs the bird used
but two, the center one being two inches
shorter than either of the others. A pull
at the apparently useless member howev-
er, proved that it was as full of life as
either of its mates. The curiosity possessed
but one tail. Of the heads, one was I'M
doubtedly that of rooster, and the other
bore all the evidences of belonging to the
opposite sex. That such is the case was
evidenced by one growing the other cluck-
ing and cackling. Fred informed us that
the twins were eight months of age; that
they were as active as any other chicken
and could fly as high, hop as far, eat more
and whip any game rooster he had in his
large collection.

The pistol was here examined, and bullet
taken from Seyerance's body was found to fit
exactly.
Sheriff Mason's testimony was substantially
as follows Upon the disappearance of
Severance visited Throckmorton's ranch and
examined the premises found an ak covered
with blood All Lung said the AK was used
to kill chickens and the blood was chickens
blood; gave the AK to Moore to examine, and
he stated TO me that the blood was not that
of a chicken; upon consultation with the
elder Severance, [ concluded to ask the assist
ance of San Francisco detectives; since then
they have worked in the case with me All
Lung was in custody when | first saw him
the testimony of Lees agrees with my knowl-
edge of the case.
j. P Moore having been sworn, testified as
follows: l examined the AK brought me by
Sheriff Mason; this is the ak found blood
upon it under microscope discovered that
it was not the blood of a chicken found also
ON the AK, hair, flesh and part of scalp; ex-
amined some of Severance's hair, and found
that it was exactly like that clinging to the
AK ; from the flow of blood on the AK it could
not have come from killing chickens; have
made microscopic examinations study.
there is no similarity between the blood on
the ak and chicken blood.
This concluded the testimony, and the jury,
after slight consultation, brought in a ver-
dict of willful murder against All Lung.

LII Is W NC l6dICu Uldb SCLcldl ouopOn-
sion Of Savings Bank business will be neces-
STATED, in fact, and apart from the serious
danger involved in an attempt to realize
upon great mass of securities during a
period of depression, it is evident that this
change must be attended with extremely
bad consequences for the community. For
even supposing that the worst evils of such
a situation can be avoided, it is clear that
great many thousands of small depositors
are likely to be deprived of an agency which
has long constituted the strongest incentive
to thrift for them. For whole classes of
men and women the modern Savings Bank
is sort of providential machinery which
prevents them from squandering their
small earnings, and which so facili-
tates accumulation that almost before
they know it they find themselves in
possession of sums which enable them to
buy the coveted building lot, or to erect
the modest homestead. The deprivation
of this machinery is certain to lead, in
many cases, to the improvident scattering
of earnings. With many people saving is
impossible, unless the surplus fund is put
and kept out of their own hands. Others
will undertake to invest their own capital,
and not being sufficiently keen to protect
themselves, will make injudicious loans
and probably lose their money. Still
others will hoard their deposits, and thus
much capital will be withdrawn from prof
liable use, and enterprise will be checked.
Because some ill-managed Savings Banks
have failed, unthinking people often ex-
press the belief that Savings Banks gener-
ally do more harm than good. No greater
mistake than this could, however, be made.
Savings Banks, when properly conducted,
are among the most useful and beneficial
agencies of civilization, and since the
power to regulate their conduct is in the
hands of the people, there is no excuse for
the existence of dishonest institutions OF
the kind. The new Constitution, however,
is beginning to show its true character, and
the predictions which this journal made
regarding It's mischievous fiscal policy dur
ing the campaign last year, are beginning
to be fulfilled. When the people have
made out their tax lists under the new dis
pensation they will have ivelier appre-
hension of what is in store for the taxpayer
than has yet been possible, and when the
Savings Banks of the State are all heard
from in this connection the advocates OF
the new Constitution will find that they
have work enough on their hands to de.
fend and justify the abominable and idiotic
system thew helped to foist upon California.
