FUslNG roINrS on REFRACTORY METAIS.

FUslAG POINIS OF hLFhALIORY MLIALS.
BY means of delicate processes NJ. Wolfe
has, according to the IechHoiOyiSte, redeter-
mined the fuSng points OF the more refractory
metals. The following are gwen rs the exact
temperatures of five of these metals IN the
gold, l.SO3 copper, l.S9O'; platinum,
3,l95o; and Iridium, 3,5IO,. 1t will be seen
that copper requires a higher temperature to
fuse it than gold. Commercial copper, how
ever, melts below 1882. Iridium Is the
most difficult OF all the metals.

A BAD BILL WELL KILLED.

The Assembly has done well in rejecting
Senator Satterwhite's very bad bill relat-
ing to riparian rights. For go brief law
it was one of the worst of the session. 1t
coolly proposed to deprive the riparian
proprietor literally Of all share in the use
and enjoyment of the streams which
flowed through his land. Not content
with allowing any one to divert the water
upon which he depended, this extraordi-
nary bill actually allowed every drop to be
taken, not even leaving enough to water
stock or cook meals. 1t was in fact the
most sweeping and outrageous deprivation
of natural rights that could have been
constructed, AMI it is not the least among
the remarkable circumstances connected
with it that the Sandlot members in the
Assembly, the professed friends of the
poor man" should have undertaken to
advocate it with conspicuous heat and
energy. A bill better calculated to rob and
iniure the poor man was assuredly never
devised, and we should have thought that
only the densest stupidity could fail to
perceive that it was in the interest of the
most crushing monopoly. The Assembly,
however, has killed it very emphatically,
and that is the only satisfactory disposi-
ton that could be made of so iniquitous a
proposition.

STOCKS AT NEW YORK.

1t seems that the new Stock Exchange
at New York hangs fire somewhat, and
the alleged cause is the collapse of a min
ing speculation called the s'Little Pitts
"burg," through which several too eager
adventures got hurt. The veteran Cali
fornia manipulators who have migrated to
Wall street look with profound contempt
upon the weak mindedness of their new
friends, and do not hesitate to tell them
that if they propose to deal in mining
stocks they must prepare for such disas-
ters as a regular feature of the business.
And assuredly the California boys are
right ON this head, for the New Workers
are like young bears, with all their
sorrows to begin, and the San Fran
cisco brokers will certainly help
them to cut their eye-teeth. New York
will doubtless soon grow accustomed to
the collapse of wildcat mines, for specula-
ton there has not been without its frauds
even when mining ventures were I'M
known. At first 1t Is by no means lmprob-
able that the average of swindles viii be
rather abnormally high, seeing that the
field for that kind of enterprise is so fresh
and virgin. Presently, however, Wall
street will get the chang" of the business,
and then the pigeons of the present will
become the hawks of the future, and the
Eastern public will afford grist for the
stock-mill

EXECUTION BEFORE TRIAL.

EDS. RECORD UNION Iperceive that you
copied without comment the charges pre-
ferred by delegate Campbell" against
Hon. Charles Silent of Arizona Permit me
to do an act of justice to one Of the noblest of
men. Charles Silent was left an orphan at
an early age. A generous uncle and aunt at
Folsom cared for the boy. His native nobil-
ity showed itself in many ways, and his manly
ambition led him to enter college and prose-
cute his course with tireless industry. From
the beginning of his college course l have
known him. Not slur has been cast upon
his reputation during the progress of his stu
dent, business and professional career. His
first wife, a daughter of the venerable
Z" Father Daniel" of San Jose, to whom he
has been all that a natural son could be, died
early His present wife is a daughter of Mr..
Tantau, one of the wealthiest and imost re-
spected citizens of Santa Clara county.
Judge Silent is of very excellent German ex-
traction, a tireless worker, a gentle
man of refined manners, and man
Of unhinching integrity 1t is possible that
he has suddenly plunged into measureless
infamy but such a fall would be enough to
fill men with amazement for century. 1t is
much easier to believe that the clear sighted
integrity of the Judge balks and battles the
schemes of mining sharps and claim-petti-
foggers. To asperse an officer or an agent
whom they cannot corrupt, is familiar re-
sort of bad men. And again, as there are
two parties to every suit, and both may sin
cerely believe themselves in the right, it is
entirely possible that an honest man who
looses his easel may suspect that corrupt
means have been employed to defeat him.
Whatever be the facts, and whatever the ex-
PLANTATION. Judge Silent is entitled to be
heard; and to slaughter him in advance of
trial is barbarous, even though it be done by
the newspapers. Judge Silent has long re-
sided and is thoroughly known in San Jose.

BISMARCK ON DISARMAMENT.

Prince Bismarck has replied with quite
remarkable patience and good temper to
the urgent appeals recently made to him
on behalf of Quixotic and impracticable
scheme of disarmament. He says that no
one would be more rejoiced than he to wit
ness such a movement, but he fears that it
would be extremely difficult to persuade
the various powers to consent to it, and of
course unless all consented none would be
willing to make beginning. He further
points out that in such case it would be
scarcely possible to arrange any machinery
forenforcing aceupon the nations, and that
attempts to arbitrate disputed matters
would probably break up the whole negotia-
tions. All of which ought to have been per-
fectly apparent to the advocates of the
scheme, and almost any point of which
is fatal to its feasibility. Such projects
for bringing about universal peace through
an international police remind one of the
Hindoo cosmogony, which places the earth
on the back of an elephant, and the ele.
plant on the back of tortoise, but leaves
the tortoise without any foundation. The
| difficulty in this case would be to find a
power capable of performing the police
duty. Such power would have to be
armed, but if it was armed and all the rest
were unarmed it needs no BrOphet to fore.
tell what the end of the experiment would
be. Perhaps hundred thousand years
hence human nature may have improved
sufficiently to make general disarmament
possible, but we do not think the necessary
changes can be brought about in any
shorter period, and therefore must regard
the scheme as somewhat premature and
visionary

IN THE HANDS OF The GOVERNOR.

The Assembly yesterday concurred in
and that measure now goes to the Gov
ernor. who has doubtless informed himself
concerning its merits so fully that no ap-
prehension need be entertained as to his
readiness to sign it. The bill is not the
best that could have been devised, but it is
the best that could be enacted under the
circumstances. 1t secures the Inaugural
ton of relief works, and thus gives the
residents of the Sacramento Valley some
assurance that their property will hereafter
be protected 1t distributes the necessary
taxation so generally and fairly that the
contributions will be in proportion to the
benefits conferred. The fight has been
carried on against the most formidable
preiudices, the most bigoted ignorance, the
most blind selfshness, the most provincial
narrowness, that ever hampered necessary
and benefcent legislation. Misrepresenta-
ton arising from all these causes has been
rife throughout the controversy. Ithas been
necessary to repeat and enlarge upon the
most elementary considerations to weari-
ness. Those from whom the greatest help
ought to have been expected have proved
the most Indifferent or even hostile Moth
ing but the most profound conviction of
the vital Importance of remedial legisla-
ton could have carried the work through,
but it has at length reached its final stage,
and we have too much confidence in the
intelligence and public spirit of Governor
Perkins to doubt that he will promptly
append his signature to bill which will
hereafter be looked upon as the most
statesmanlike and benefcent undertaking
of his administration.

THE STATE coNsTABULARY BILL.

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: Believing the Legis-
lature will adjourn without passing that just
Act-one demanded almost unanimously by
the people, and in the interest of law, good
order and economy-the State Detective
Force bill, want to suggest that perhaps the
next best thing that can be done for the pro-
lection of the lives and property of the peo-
pie is to ask the Sheriffs, Chiefs of Police,
detective officers, and agents and heads of
detective agencies, to meet in Convention at
Sacramento or San Francisco, and agree upon
a course to be pursued in all the counties and
cities of the State for the arrest and speedy
punishment of the many murderers and
criminals in our State, on the commission of
crimes by then which affect the peace and
good name of the whole State. It is not
necessary to call the attention of the people
to the many fearful crimes committed in our
midst, for they are so numerous that all can
see and know. When l say there are yet
some of Troy Dyes band in our midst, / say
nothing but what have the best of evidence
of. Go back fifty or sixty years, and we find
time when there was something in the pro-
verb that murder will out" But since the
discovery of gold in our State murder won't
out in very, very many cases. The conceal
ment of murder has become science, and I
regret to say one that is very successfully
practiced. ROBERT HARRISON.

MR.. EvARTs ON THE CHINESE NEGO-
TIATIONS.

The communication of Secretary Evarts
to Congress regarding the Chinese negotia-
tions fully bears out our previous conject-
ures, for it shows that in point of fact the
Administration has refrained from doing
anything in the matter. He says that our
Minister to China was instructed to invite
the Chinese Government to full and
&c frank discussion of the evils arising
from the contract system of Chinese emf
grafton to California, "but as our own
people resident in China enjoy many i'm
"portant treaty privileges, and as it was
" desirable to reach the results sought for
without disturbing the good feeling now
" existing between the two countries, or
"impairing the opportunities and prospects
"inuring to US under existing treaties, he
twas directed to ascertain with precision
"the disposition of the Chinese Govern
"ment, and to give assurances which
"would enable US to proceed with such
further negotiations as might be deemed
necessary" The evident meaning of all
this is that the Minister to China was in
structed to do nothing and propose nothing
likely to interfere in any way with the
commercial relations of the two countries
which is one way of declaring that the
United States Government decided to risk
the Mongolianization of the country rather
than forego the profits of trade with China.
1t may be doubted whether the national
worship of the Almighty Dollar has ever
been emphasized more sharply than in the
adoption of this policy. The one great
point with the Administration was to pro-
tect our commerce with China If, con-
sistently with the preservation of that CON-

A large force of men is engaged in con-
structing telegraph line from Independence
to Corvallis, along the line of the Western
Oregon Railroad. The work will be COM
pleted in few days.
News has been received of shooting af-
fray at Jacksonville, between John Lathrop
and William Caldwell, in which the latter
was seriously, and perhaps fatally shot. The
shooting was the result of quarrel over some
very trivial matter. Lathrop lis in custody,
awaiting the result of Caldwells injuries.
A fire broke out this morning in a large
two-story wooden building at the corner Of
Main and First streets, and before the flames
could be arrested, partially destroyed the
same. The building was occupied as black
smith shop, owned by Joseph Roemers, and a
livery stable belonging to H. Southworth.
Roemers' loss on carriages, tools and material
will aggregate $4,000. The fire is thought to
have been the work of an incendiary.
