/" HANGTowN."

Mountain Democrat, April 2lth.l
During our absence last week an ad in
term substitute wrote local item on the
origin of 8. Hangtown," the old-time name
of Placerville. By several old-timers we
have been reminded Of some inaccuracies in
that notice; ano ng others, one now resi-
dent in San Francisco calls our attention
to those errors.
In the first place, it was not the hanging
of Irish Dick that gave the town its orig
inal name, but the hanging of two other
men, in the summer or fall OF 40, from
tree that at the time stood near the north
east corner of Coloma and Main streets.
Secondly, Irish Dick did not mistake
the man he killed for another" On this
point our correspondent says: "The man
killed and another were quarreling in the
densely crowded gambling saloon where
Dick had monte game, running around,
jostling the crowd, and thereby attracting
men from Dicks game to watch the fight,
when Dick, in furore of senseless anger,
jumped suddenly up from the table, drew
his knife, rushed at the deceased and
stabbed him, without saying word. He
then deliberately wiped the blood from his
knife and left the saloon, and after long
search was found hidden at 'Coffeys, on
Sacramento street." He was not 'stried by
Jury" but was examined before two JUS
tees of the Peace, ON platform in the
open air, in the street, near where the Oasis
now stands. One of the Justices was "Dud
Humphreys, and the other, if our CORE
spondent remembers rightly, was Wallace.
In confederation of the statement about
Dicks physical courage, our correspondent
recalls his utterance when on the impro-
vised platform for the Justices Court.
Facing the mob, who were impatient of
delay and clamoring for a chance to hang
him, Dick said, "Have patience, gentle
men, I'll give you a square layout as
soon as these fellows (meaning the Justices)
get through with me.
81 have never" says the writer, I" in
my life seen anything SO terrible. With
certain death staring him in the face land
such a DEATH, his sang froid, his utter dev-
ilishness of heart, seemed more horrible to
me than the manner of his death and,
although took no part in the proceedings,
either in his examination or his execution,
1 experienced relief when rope, thrown
over his head where he stood, cut short
his mhumaa explanations.

elbows at an angle of forty-fve degrees,
and diving down into his vest pocket,
"guess l can afford this, heys Mr.. Lyd-
ston, by George, you and l will each have
new hat. hey :"
Eyes" said l, "a wool hat, too"
So he covers his pile with $40 land now
comes the bonanza pause of a minute,
when the bunko chief looks very Affection
ately towards me and asks me if l wished
to put $40 bill on my $50, then before
me.
"No," said 1, the money all belongs to
Brodhead, and if he wishes to cover the
other pile he can do so. Fix it up between
yourselves, gentlemen.
And grabbing my carpet bag from the
floor, made the best time ON "record" for
the door, and got out and put for the hotel,
and while registering my name gentle
man remarked to me that my watch chain
was hanging down; and sure enough, a
gold Maltese cross worth $40 was missing.
Moral: Travellers to California, leave
your fur caps and wooden mittens at home,
or bunko will have you sure.

FARMERS IN THE LEGISLATURE

The Changers throughout the United States
have been complaining that they have not
had proportionate representation in the
legislative halls of the States or nation. and
we are sure that as a result of the Grange
organization they have considerably in
creased their representation. Whether this
increase has resulted in any real benefit to
the agricultural industries is not so easily an
swered. The average farmer has not been
schooled for legislator. His mind has not
been accustomed to grasp great variety of
subjects and to generalize upon them. He
has. as a rule, confined his thought too
closely to his own limited sphere of action
and is not versed in the framing of laws or
the adaptation of them to the wants of his
own or other classes Of society. He has
through life made it practice, whenever he
wanted any legal information on any question
in which he was Interested, to go to lawyer
for that information. Whenever he had any
dispute as to his legal rights or as
to the rights of his property. he has
applied to lawyer for advice.
Whenever be has sold farm or bought one
he has repaired to lawyers Office to have
the deed drawn, and whenever he has made a
contract involving any great responsibility or
property of value his lawyer has been con-
suited. Thus he has never cultivated that
self-reliance, that self-knowledge. that gem
eral information of men and affairs or the
practical transaction of business necessary to
make good legislator. Farmers as a rule
have not been properly educated-have not
properly educated themselves = to enable
them to do such work even for themselves,
and of course when they find themselves in
the Legislature, where they are expected to
perform all kinds of work for others, they are
not at home, they are out of their sphere, and
they are more or less failures. We heard a
Granger lamenting this state Of things a few
days since. He seemed to have been led to a
full comprehension of the situation by the
course pursued and the results consequent
upon the actions of his brother Changers in
the last session of the Legislature of
our own State. He remarked that he
lad for some years past been
insisting upon a fuller representation from
the farming classes in our Legislatures, to the
end that the situation of the farmer in his
business and social relations might be i'm
proved, that the grain rings, sach rings,
middle-men, commission men, store-house
men, money-loaners and sharpers generally
might be surrounded by legal checks and
regulations and the farmers rights and profits
more fully protected. But, said he, 81 have
changed my mind, and believe have voted
for the asst Granger for any legislative posi-
tion-they are the least practical men in the
Legislature. They accomplish no good for
themselves and prevent none of the schemes
nd jobs put up BY 0therx Not that their

THE HAY CROP.

We have heard it suggested by some that
the hay crop of 1880 in California was likely
to be short, and that consequently hay would
probably be dear the next winter. The rea-
son for this opinion as given is that the hay
crop along the rivers, especially the alfalfa
crop, will be very short on account of the
high water, which will kill off the alfalfa and
remain on the land so late as to prevent the
growth of natural grasses. There is no doubt
that the crop of alfalfa will be curtailed to
high water; but while this will be true it is
also true that the season is very favorable for
good crops of hay of all kinds in all other
sections of the State. We believe hay will
be as plenty this year as any year within the
past ten, and will be as cheap. Yet we would
advise all who have hay of any kind, or
straw, to cut and save it. We would give
this advice at all times and under all circun-
stances There is nothing gained by wasting
anything that grows on farm. Let
everything be taken care of, and
laid by for the time of need.
1t would be good stroke of economy for
every farmer who has stock, to calculate to
keep over each year one-fourth as much hay
as he feeds. Then in case OF an unexpected
long and cold winter, such as the past has
been, the intended surplus would come in
play The past winter has been an usually
long and tedious one, and very few farmers
will have any hay left over. Such we know
to be particularly the case with the river
farmers And when the April rains and
high waters came and covered up their grow
ing crops of alfalfa, they had nothing to feed.
The result has been in many instances that
they have been compelled to remove their
stock at great expense and loss. Had they
kept surplus, as we suggest, this loss and
extra expense would have been avoided.

Latest by Telegraph. Monday morning.
FROM AUGUSTA.

Monday, the 18th. the Republicans,
who have control of the State House,
refused to allow the fusion body pretend
ing to be a Legislature. the use of that
building for holding theirmeetings. Those
who were at first inclined to criticise that
action, have been convinced Of its wis.,
dom, by the subsequent remarks of Joseph
l.. Smith, gubernatorial claimant. He
said to reporter:
''Under present circumstances, do not
think bloodshed advisable, hut had we pos
session of the State House, by God, the
Republicans would not get In without she'd
ding some of their blood"
1t is well understood that the fusion
lists, If admitted on Monday. would have
failed to adjourn and clear the State
House for occupation by the Legislature,
until they were forced out. Gov. Davis
was anxious to avoid conflict, and so
refused to admit company of men actu-
ated BY such motives.
Since then the Legislature has held
regular, daily sessions; but as the fusion
Secretary of State stole the State seal
and the legislative returns, but little bust
ness could be done. Laws are being
passed to punish those who obstruct pub
lie business by thus factiously retaining
control of State property.
The fusionists have held daily meet
ings in hall at Augusta, but have not
done anything of importance.
On Friday Mayor Nash of Augusta
informed Governor Davis that his force
was not sufficiently large TO protect the
State property, and two companies of
militia were taken to the State House.
Saturday morning, when this action was
made known, the people of Maine were
astoniShed beyond measure, as they I'M
derStood all danger of armed conflict was
past. IL seems that the authorities had
received positive information that the
tusionists were recruiting and drilling men,
in all parts of the State, and that they
had planned an attack upon the State
House. The Boston HeraldS reporter
declares there was also plot to burn the
houses of Senator Blaine and other prom
inent Augusta Republicans, He says
the houses were marked by small tnan-
gular pieces of paper which were tackled
on each, after dark, Friday night. Fogg.
who runs the Chronicle at Auburn, and
Blood, his partner, who is also on Joseph
l.. Smiths military staff, speak as fol-
lows:
"Wade Hampton of South Carolina took
one State House away from the Republi-
cans. We say take this. or batter it down"
With such talk as this from leading
fuSioniSts, the authorities cannot be too
careful or too vigorous in their measures
of suppression. L, should be understood
that the Republican party of New Eng
land Is not composed of negroes and
poor whites, and that il will not allow
bulldozers nor white leagues nor ku klux
Klans to override the people Those who
undertake such measures viii be severely
