render demanded, and he acquiesced. A
portion Of the settlers then advanced on
Hart aud Grow; one of the horses knock
ing Poole down, when firing began. 1t is
yet unknown who began the firing, but
that Grow seems to have done all the kill
ing of the settlers. Hart falling wounded,
Grow escaped in the melee, but was over
taken and shot down over a mile dis
tant. Poole's life was spared on
the condition that he would quietly
leave without delay. He. was escorted to
Kingsburg by an armed guard. Poole say
he does not know what he shall next do in
the matter. He will lay the whole matter
before the authorities but he does not see
that they are in q position to help him.
There is 40 money to meet any expense OF
the Marshal's department, and Congress
recently passed an Act prohibiting the en-
ployment of United States troops to en-
force any civil process. At least 200 men
would be necessay to meet the force which
the settlers are in a position to bring
against any party that might attempt to
dispossess them. The railroad company
will not run trains to Hanford until they
receive assurance that their property will
be protected. The most vigorous legal
means will now be taken to settle the dis
turbances in Tulare county, and all on
railroad lands will be called upon to buy
the ground Of the Company or vacate. 1t
is believed that the settlers will continue
their demonstrations and remain firm in
their determination.
A Hanford dispatch says Matters are
quiet this morning, and no prospects of a
further outbreak. Six were killed. Dan
Kelly, Walter Grow, Ives Kuntzen, John
Henderson, James Harris and Archibald
McGregory were wounded MORALLY. M. s.
Hart and E. Haymaker were slightly
wounded. The principal shooting was
lone by Grow, Hart, Henderson, Kelly
and Harris. No others did any shooting
as yet known.
Alpha levies an assessment of one dollar,
and Julia one of 40 cents.

POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS


The stalwart Washington Republican
styles them 'the anti-Third ~Termagents."
The Republic is the title Of a new anti
third-term organ published at St. Louis.
Its motto is: "No third-term-a party
without a master and a candidate without
STAIN" Its first number contains the re-
cent speech Of ex-senator John B. Hender-
son of st. Louis.
A cunning New York contemporary, re-
marks the Philadelphia Times, brings the
once renowned Cronin forward as a part Of
the Tilden Delegation from Oregon to the
Cincinnati Convention. One of the prin-
cipal drawbacks to a great national scheme
like this is in the fact that the particular
Cronin referred to is not now a resident
of this earth.
The real gravity of the Presidential
campaign lies in the fact, the Indianapolis
News alleges, that the result involves the
occupancy of about one hundred thousand
offices, and the receipts Of about four hun
bred millions in salaries to the incumbents
thereof. When the anxious politician talks
about the liberties of the country being in
danger he means that his party's hold on
the Offices is in danger.

THE WHOLE BUSINESS SETTLED.


There is no use quarreling any more
about the Presidency. The whole bust
ness has been definitely settled by a New
York astrologer. The latter. after con-
sulting the stars, communicates the re-
suit to the Herald. Grant and Blaine
and WashburnHa are all in bad odor in the
planetary world. Jupiter and Saturn and
Venus and Mars are all against them in a
most villainous combination. Tilden and
Bayard are to be the principal candidates
at Cincinnati, with the star of the latter
in the ascendant. But the nomination
will do him no good. The Democracy
will make a grand and brilliant battle,
and will be defeated by a small scratch,
due to local troubles and d~lssensions
within the ranks. Thus the terrible re-
suit of another Republican triumph is to
be reached. But, more terrible still, John
Sherman is to be the winning nag. We
can stand it all but Sherman. Every
body will see stars if that fellow gets in.
The astrologer goes on to say that
there will be a great war in this country
in 1882, and things generally will go to
smash. In that year John Sherman is
advised to be very careful of himself, or
he may meet with a serious accident. A
bigger accident will happen to him should
he be made President in 1880.

The New York Commercial Adver'
tiser has 3 high conception of West
Point. 1t says: However great a liar
a cadet may have been before entering
the Academy, the very moment he passes
the gate of hat immaculate military
monastery the lies depart from him like
quilts from off the fretful porcupine, and
he feels like cutting down a cherry tree
on the spot. Even Eli Perkins, could it
be possible for him to be a cadet, would
find himself telling the truth like a Chi
cage ne wspaper.

The st. Louis Republican takes a
broader view Of the Tammany bolt than
Il deserves. Kelly and his crowd should
he treated as other boilers, and given no
voice whatever in the councils of the
party. The Republican, holding that
the split has become q National question,
comments as follows
cas- long as the quarrel in New York
between the $4,000 Democrats who
voted for Governor Robinson last Septem-
Der. and the 1000 Democrats who voted
for John Kelly was confined to that State,
and had no effect or significance beyond
its limits, the Democrats Of the other
thirty-seven States of the Union, per-
haps, had no right of interference in it
beyond the expression Of a profound
grief that it should result in losing to the
party the greatest State in the Union,
and defeating one of the ablest and best
Governors it ever mad. But the quarrel
is no longer local and limited. 1t is no
longer a State affair merely. 1t has at
last ~obtruded, as it was bound to sooner
or later, into the domain of National
politics, and become a National question
upon which every Democrat in the land
has a right to speak. We are on the eve
Of a Presidential election, and as, in
cyclones, all air currents are drawn into
the overpowering whirl, so in our Ma
tional elections, all local currents of poll.
tics are swallowed up by the central

Conference OF Superintendents ON
the subject OF Rep0rts-An Emil.
nent Lawyers Opinion.
The superintendents Of the Comstock are
considering their duties under the Califor-
mia new mining law. The law is equally
applicable to such Of our Eureka com
panies as may be incorporated in Califor-
mia. The Virginia Chronicle has the fol-
lowing :
An informal meeting of the mining
superintendents was held last evening at
the Con. Virginia Office. for the purpose of
discussing the provisions in the FELTON, bill
regulating their duties, and agreeing upon
q uniform system Of weekly and monthly
reports. The section under consideration
is as follows:
"Section 1. Y 1t shall be the duty
OF the superintendent, on the first Mon
day Of each month, to file with the secre-
tary an itemized account. verified under
oath, showing all receipts and disburse-
ments made by him for the previous
month, and for what said disbursements
were made. It shall also be the duty Of
the superintendent to file with the secre-
tary . weekly statement, under oath, show
ing the number Of men employed under
him, and for what purpose, and the rate Of
wages paid to each one. He shall attach to
said account . full and complete report,
under oath, OF the work done in said mine,
the mount OF ore extracted, and from
what part Of the mine taken ; the amount
sent to the mill for reduction, Its assay
value ; the amount Of bullion received, the
amount Of bullion shipped to the Office of
the company or elsewhere, and the amount,
II any, retained by the superintendent. Ii
shall also be his duty to forward to the
office OF the company Q full report under
oath, OF all discoveries Of ores or mineral
bearing quartz made in said mine. whether
by boring, drifting. sinking or otherwise.
together with the assay value thereof. All
accounts. reports and correspondence from
the superintendent shall be kent in some
conspicuous place In the office OF said com.
pany. and BE- open to the inspection Of ali
stockholdsrs."
A blank form viii be prepared and Alled
out every week by the superintendents
While this will be less work than writing
letters giving all the details of the worR
done in the mines. at the same time the in.
formation will be less satisfactorv 10 the
public. The law will be complied with
mex saturday Tor the first time, and here
aiter there Will be no more letters. A
prominent lawyer OF San Francisco has ex-
pressed the opinion that the law is uncon.
sttnnonal, but IS no objection TO it has
been raised by b mining companies. II is
not probable that Its constitutionality win
be tested in the courts.

EX-SENATOR PoMERoY is credited with
the observation that Mr.. Thurman will
never be President, because no man has
ever been elected to the Presidency who
blew his nose on a red bandana handker-
chief. 1t may be remarkable, also, that
no man has ever been elected to a third
term Of the Presidency who eats with his
knife and drinks whisky out of a bottle
without first drawing his hand over the
mouth of it to brush off the dust. 1t is
thought that under this rigid rule Gen.
eral Grant will be excluded.

The "boom" in favor of William H. En-.
glish, of Indiana as the Democratic candidate
for the Presidency in 1880, is evidently spread.
ing The editor of the Louisville Courier
JourndI having met him says: "Mr, English
Is a well. made and well preserved gentleman,
whose age has crept into the fiftles. He is
stnkingly strong IN face and conversational
powers, and only few moments in his pres.
encc suffice TO convince one of his great and
strong qualities"
The Chicago Times, speaking Of both Gov
English of Connecticut and Mr.. English of In.
diana says: Both are rich, both have served
in congress, but the lIoosi8 English is
much the cleaner and ahler man" Besides
the Democratic press of Indiana nearly unan
imously, a number of Democratic papers in
Ohio are out for English, as well as several in
Illinois.
