He soon met him and demanded
to know if he (French) had said that Snyder,s
sheep had trespassed on his fields. French
replied in the affirmative, when Murphy
grasped him by the coat collar, and placing
the muzzle of his pistol within few inches OF
French's head, fred. The ball took effect in
the right temple, and ranging down came out
near the cheek bone. French survived only
short time. After committing the cowardly
murder, Murphy fled, and up to the present

much respected by all. A party of citizens

and should he be found he will probably be
dealt with summarily.

ANTI-CHINEsE IN NEW YORK.

1t is rather curious that the first man
Hesitation OF antipathy to the Chinese in
New York should have been made by a
religious organization, for it is to that ele-
ment that the brotherhood of man and
fatherhood of God doctrine is attributable,
and it has had much to do with the forma-
ton and maintenance of that Eastern
opinion which has been so hostile to the
position of California on this question.
The United Christian Brethren, however,
have refused to lease some buildings which
they own to Chinese, and thus the little
cloud no bigger than mans hand has ap-
peared in the Eastern heavens. How long
it viii take to spread until it obscures the
whole horizon remains to be seen, but
when the Chinese begin to compete with
white slabor to an appreciable extent, the
Eastern public wiz not have long to wait.

DR.. pLArr AND THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

DR.. Platt minister of the Protestant
Episcopal Church, has recently denounced
the public schools as Goddess, and has ad-
vised Christian parents to remove their
children from those institutions. The de-
nunciation of the common schools on this
ground has hitherto been peculiarly
Catholic practice, though Protestant min
listers would no doubt in many cases avow
the same opinion did they not recognize
the impracticability of the change de-
manded. OF course when DIR. Platt COM
plains that no religious instruction is given
in the public schools he does not mean
that he is in favor of any kind of religious
instruction No doubt he would hold that
even the "godlessness which SO afflicts
him is preferable to false teaching and as
false teaching he is bound to regard great
many forms OF religious instruction which
other people believe in. And here we en-
counter the fatal obstacle which has
necessitated the omission of all religious
teaching from the public school course.
For when we inquire what religious
instruction is, multitude OF dis
cordant and conflicting definitions are
offered, and it at once becomes evident that
there is no possibility of agreement as to
what ought to be taught under this head.
Every religionist would perhaps say that
religion ought to be taught in the schools,
but the moment the question of what reli-
gion should be taught, arose, there would
be hopeless conflict of opinion. DR..
Platt possibly perceives that in the present
stage of intellectual development and ra-
tionalistic growth it lis becoming more and
more difficult TO instil religious beliefs into
the rising generation. The Catholics have
always appreciated the importance of taking
the mind when it is plastic and immature,
and fashioning the beliefs to suit themselves,
and in the present tendency of thought
this method promises soon to be the only
one by which religious ideas can be per-
petuated. But surely it is a serious
admission of weakness for any church
to have to make, that it cannot
get people to accept it's dogmas unless
it is permitted to engraft them upon
the mind before it is capable of forming
any judgment concerning their credibility
or value. No such position has ever been
taken with regard to scientific instruction.
There is no age too mature for the human
mind to comprehend and recognize the i'm
portance of the discoveries of Science and
the ascertained laws of Nature Nobody
ever heard it claimed that special schools
ought to be organized in order to give early
instruction in the nebular hypothesis, or
the law of gravitation, or the theory of
evolution. We never hear it alleged that
there is danger lest our youth should be-
come incapable of believing in geology, or
botany, or physiology, or any other science,
because they have not been indoctrinated
with these studies from their cradle. How
is it then that it should be thought so in
dispensable to fix religious beliefs in the
growing mind before it has acquired the
force of judgment requisite to weigh their
merits

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.

The Postmaster-General has at length
decided to withdraw his opposition to the
letter carrying business of Wells, Fargo
& Co., and this conclusion will be learned
with satisfaction on the Pacific coast.
There was no justification for the assault
made upon the express company by the
Postal Department, and the people of this
slope expressed their disapproval of the
raid SO emphatically, and preferred such
convincing arguments on behalf of the
company, that the course of the Govern
nent could not be perseyered in.

Serious Accident TO a Prominent Citizen
A TiIden DeIe.afiOn.

SUIsUN, May Enthusiastically serious
accident happened to one of our prominent
citizens. Harvey Rice, an old pioneer, went
to his barn to hitch up his team for ride.
While in the act of carrying the harness
across the stable to the horses he tripped on a
bunch of bags and fell. One of the names
struck him in the right eye and gouged
it out and mutilated his face badly. He
then walked home and sent for physicians,
who are now attending him, and think they
will be lucky if they save the other eye.
A Tilden delegation was sent to the County
Convention from this place.
