Severe storm.

SAN FRANCIsCo, April 2.-Beyond Summit 2000 feet of snow sheds were crushed during the last severe snow, storm, and this portion of the track lies fully exposed to the elements Should a wreck occur at this point 100 men are he'd in readiness to be sent forthwith to clear away the wreck. A snow blow train just arrived from the east, blowing very heavily all the way to Broncho. More snow is on the mountains than at any previous time during the winter. Every train re quires from one to three extra en- zines. The telegraph wires are badly demor.lized, only three out of nine working.
 Horrible Murder-An Indian shot
 WALLA WALLA, w. T., April 30.- A fearful murder has just been re- ported from Big Lake County. A small woman, with dark hair and eyes, was found dead, with bullet hole in the back of her head. Her clothing was completely stripped of, her an kles tied with rope, and the body dragged up canyon several hundred yards. The circumstances of the decd bear striking similarity to another murder recently perpetratec in this viCjnI,v. The officers have good

The USurper.

That General Chamberlain is the plant and
wicked tool of the arch leaders OF the cohspi-
racy is now o palpable fact His proclamation
to the people and militia of this state is usur-
patton of the power of the executive depart
ment Of the state and defiance to lis power
But one step-one short step farther, the ar
raging of the military against Governor Lam
son, and he becomes traitor and deserves a
traitors doom. Two facts are settled. Flrst'
that the Senate was duly and legally organized
second, James d. Lamson was duly elected
President of that body, and thirdly is there
fore under Sec IA, art. 3 of the constitution,
Governor of the State.
1t reads as follows: {. WheneUer the office of
Governor shall become Uacant by death. TeSlgaad-
ton, remo0dl from office or otherwise, the Prest-
dent Of the Senate shall exercise the office OF
Governor untH another shall be duly qualified
There it stands clear and concise, James d.
Lamson is the lawful Governor of the State,
and consequently the commander-in-chief of
the militia. See art. 5. sec. 7 of the constitu-
ton which says she shall be conln,ande,-ln..
chief of the orney and Macy, and Of the militia
Chamberlain is therefore a rebel in arms
against the State and deserves rebels fate
The above statement of facts is incontrovertl-
BILE and beyond honest cavil. If his pro-
gramme is carried out it must inevitably end
in bloodshed, and the prayers of an impious
clergy will be answered, and his name con-
signed to everlasting infamy.
In view of these facts and the probable CONF
sequences that must follow, it seems as though
the name of Chamberlain was name fated to
go down to history linked with that of Aaron
Burr. The high-handed and lawless acts or
the South Carolina Governor, Daniel Cham
berlain-the ruin which they entailed upon
that State eliminated in violence and murder,
and he was driven fugitive from the soil
which blood alone could cleanse. Joshua l..
Chamberlain had better be warned by his fate.
The above article was in type when the tele-
graph announced the overt act of Chamberlain
by breaking the doors of the Representative
Hall and letting in the Republican mob

WINTER VOYAGES.
The Barnard Castles Tough Experience.

The Barnard Castles Tough Experience.
The steamer Barnard Castle, Capt. Young,
chartered by the Clyde Line, arrived at this
port yesterday morning after an exceedingly
rough passage lasting the unusual period OF
twenty-six days from Glasgow.
Capt. Young reports a great deal of very
severe and heavy weather. The steamer left
Glasgow on Dec. Goth, and very soon struck
the fierce westerly gales encountered by the
Brooklyn, and by the steamers to Boston and
New York. A few days after she was out she
was in hurricane which knocked her about
and stove her up considerably. A great sea
burst into the chartsroom and deluged every
thing, while another poured into the saloons
below, completely drenching them with water.
In either this, or another storm, portion OF
the cargo got loose and the crew had to go be-
low and secure it. No one who has never at
Imagine the ship pitching and tossing like
plaything on the water, with the great boxes
shooting from one side of the hold to the other
with lightning rapidity, along with masses of
pig iron, and consider that one blow would
mash man as easily as if he were cockroach.
Finally Capt. Young got out of the track OF
storms further south and that is what made
her passage SO long The Barnard Castle is
about 1000 tons burden, brigantine rugged, and
brings about 1900 tons of cargo.
The Lake Champlain, whose arrival was
reported in yesterdays PRESS, presents fine
appearance she is so iced up.

The expenses show a reduction of $1f ,550.52
over those of 1878. In the total expenses are
reckoned $40, 319.16 paid on acct. Jail workshops
as well as $147 .15lpaid account State OF Maine
which should be deducted as the State will re-
pay the latter The Jail workshop has paid
running expenses and has surplus to credit
of 50 906 Il: deducting these the total expenses
for the year will stand $79,SI195. Among
County receipts are 81 500 from bail forfeited
Superior Court, and in similar cases to the
amount of $4,000 is pending in Law Courts.
The costs of Superior Court show saving of
S6.92171. OF this amount about S., 600 is the
result of the law of 1879, and the balance is
largely due to the judge of the Court.
In regard to the County Jail the jailer says:
"The average number of prisoners supported
at the County Jail the past year has been about
TWENTY-FIVE per cent. greater than in any FORM
er wear, and about fifty per cent. larger than
for many years prior to the establishment of
our iail workshop, in connection Herewith;
and thus while in two years the price OF board
per man has been reduced from three dollars
to two dollars per week, or thirty-three and
one-third per cent, the aggregate cost of sup
porting so large a number is still great. This
increase in number of prisoners may be &C
counted for in part if not in full, from two
canses. viz: 1st-At or about the time of es-
tablshing Jail workshops in this State, our
statutes were SO amended as to allow the
courts to sentence to jail for term of three
wears, whereas, prior thereto, the maximum
sentence to Jail was one year, thereby largely
increasing the average number in our Jail
throughout the year; and throws the support
of many prisoners upon Cumberland County
who were formerly supported in the State Pris-

The fire department are about trying new
plan which has for its object the detection OF
any person who strikes a false alarm. Each
key to the alarm boxes will be numbered and
the number of the key set down against the
name of the holder, in a book kept for that
purpose, by the engineers. When man puts
the key into the box it remains there and it
cannot be withdrawn except by the engineers.
Thus it can be told who struck the alarm and
if it is false one, it is an easy matter to hunt
up tho offender. Every holder of key is held
responsible for its use. In view of the fact
that half the alarms rung are false, this new
arrangement is one that will commend itself
TO all interested in such matters.

BOSTON MARINE INSURANCE CoMPANY.-The
year just closed, although far from successful
generally to marine insurance companies, has
been to this company attended with the usual
success. More than 100000 net profits are
shown, of which $4,000 have been paid in
dividends, and the balance added to its sur
plus. With cash capital of 100000, and net
surplus of POI 047 so, they show assets of $701,
047 go, after deducting all liabilities, real and
conceivable, including all known or supposed
losses, and the cost at 100 per cent. Of reinsur-
ing all outstanding risks. The annual report
of the company for 1879 places it among the
very first in the country in point of success.
