A squaw Tragedy.
R.... River R.ysil., April IA.

A bloody tragedy occurred at Clifton
ON Sunday night last, OF which the Sho.
shons squaw Pooahontas 10 supposed to
Be the psrpetrstor. It seems that Poca.
hontas and another dusky maiden had
got possession OF two bottles OF whisky
by some means or other. and BY drink.
ing the contents got g~loriously drunk
and quarrelsd. There were no witnesses
OF the conflict. and the Arst that was
known To the tribe Of the bloody affair
was the finding OF the body Of the muir.
dered squaw In the ditch at Clifton on
Monday morning. She had been stabbed
with Q knife, and the head was in . hor.
ribly bruised and battered condition.
which was supposed to have been done
with . large stone which lay near by
and was covered with blood. Suspicion
rests on the shoulders Of Pocahontas,
because another squaw tsstiAes that on
the day In question she came to town
and purchased . knife, and she has not
been seen since Sunday evening, when
she wa In company with the deceased.
The S~hoshones are In an excited condi.
ton over the event, and II the friends Of
the murdered maiden can lay their
hands on the psrpstrator Of the Outrage.
they will probably make short work OF
her.

sATTERwHITB's FEE BILL.

Mr. Satterwhite has introduced a bill
which provides for the levying of fees for
every process of litigation or transfer of
property, after the fashion of bygone
days. 1t is very clearly established by ex-
perience that the fee system is in principle
and practice Objectionable, costly, vexa-
tious and bad. All legislation for several
years past has been in the direction of its
abandonment, and the substitution of fixed
and stated salaries for every kind of office
holder In litigation it must be the aim
complicating the various processes of
Court, and the same remark applies to the
tranfer of realty. There is no justification
in these days for reversion to the
old practice of unnecessary and extor-
tionate fees, and the Legislature ought not
to tolerate such a proposition. The peo-
pie of California have repeatedly declared
their determination that the fee system
should be abolished, and it therefore
should be left to the fate pronounced upon
it. Whatever is done in the matter of
fees henceforth should be in the line of
eliminating the last remnants of them.
The fee system is an unbusinesslike method
of transacting public business. 1t is
provocative of dishonesty, extortion, and
loss to the public. 1t tends to make
litigation mere machinery for the
enrichment of lawyers and officials.
1t is based upon the barbarous idea
that people who go to law ought to be
punished for seeking relief from the Courts
Enlightened legislation strives, on the con.
trary, to make legal processes as simple
and easy as possible, and especially aims at
counteracting that selfish and anti-popular
disposition too commonly observed among
lawyers to make the process of the Courts
kind of occult art, not to be attempted
without deadly risk by the uninitiated
Senator Satterwhite has made mistake in
attempting to revive the old fee system,
and we trust the Judiciary Committee will
report against his bill.

A GOOD IDEA,

Representative Davis is understood to
be preparing bill to increase the tariff
upon opium. Though tariffs generally are
obnoxious, the use of opium is so injurious
that the Government is warranted in put
ting prohibltory duty upon it. Nine
teen-twentieths of all imported at San
Francisco is used by the Chinese for smok-
ing. If they are so welded to the drug
that they will not do without it, they may
very well be made to pay handsomely for
the privilege of poisoning themselves. But
it is not only the Chinese who nowadays
use opium. 1t is being more and more
extensively smoked by white people on
this coast, and with far more swift and
disastrous effects than are seen upon the
Chinese. Under the circumstances, there
fore, it might be in the line of public
policy to clap much heavier duty upon
it than Mr.. Davis seems to have thought
of, though if it were possible to discrimi-
nate between the intended uses of the pur-
chasers it would be still better to prohibit
its importation for other than medicinal
purposes.

LOWELL FOR MINISTER TO ENGLAND.

The nomination of James Russell Lowell
as Minister to England has been learned
with great satisfaction in the country to
whose court the distinguished poet and
critic is to be accredited. The appoint
ment is one which commends itself to all
cultivated intelligences as one eminently
fit to be made. Mr.. Lowell will repre-
sent America at her best. He will
uphold American genius, scholarship,
culture, refinement, knowledge of the
world, in society where each and
all of these qualifications is sure to be
needed, and where the lack of any
of them would discredit the nation
whose envoy he is. The practice of choos.
ing our most distinguished men for posi-
tions of this kind is one which has had such
satisfactory results in the past that it may
be hoped it will be adhered to hereafter.
We are glad that President Hayes has had
the sagacty and enlightenment to make
this selection, though it is only fair to him
to say that his diplomatic appointments
generally have been exceedingly judicious,
and have evinced a very earnest purpose
to raise the morale of that service.

PUBLICATION OF TIE DEBATES.

Senator Grove L. johnson yesterday in
troduced bill which provides for the
transcription and publication of the short
hand notes taken of the transactions and
debates of the late Constitutional Conven-
ton. The Constitution having been ratified,
the considerations which led its trainers to
adopt its provisions acquire higher i'm
portance than they appeared to possess
while the Convention was current. The
bill introduced by Dir. johnson appears to
have been carefully drawn, and sufficiently
guarded to prevent jobbery and to secure
the completion of the work at an inconsid-
cradle cost to the State 1t is also conf
IDENTIFY asserted that enough copies of the
published volumes can be sold to rein-
burse the cost of their publication, or at
least SO far reduce the net outlay as to
leave no reasonable ground of opposition
on the score of economy. Aside from this,
however, there is no good reason why these
indispensable records in the political and
Judicial history of the State should not
be preserved. The bill will no doubt be-
come law.

JOHN BRIGHT AsTRAY.

John Bright is reported as saying IN
recent speech that if the English Govern
ment expresses the national sentiment in
its foreign policy, the people ought to re-
nounce Christianity, and not longer en-
deavor to unite Christian profession with
heather practice. But if Mr. Bright had
reflected little he would have perceived
that this union of Christian profession and
heather practice is no novelty; that, in
fact, it is as old as Christianity. The ma
lions which have professed that religion
have never refrained from the pursuit of
governmental policies in open contraven-
ton of its doctrines and precepts, and
many of the most hideous crimes against
humanity recorded in history have been
perpetrated with all solemnity in its name.
1t is therefore rather impractical and WIS.,
ionary in Mr. Bright to bring forward
such an assertion as this. Regarded as
political argument it strikes us as singu-
larly deficient in point and Judgment.
England Is dong nothing more than every
Government in Christendom has always
done; nay, she is doing very much less, in
point of heathenism, than most of them
have been ready to do. Nor is the propo-
sition to fashion state policy in accordance
with the Sermon on the Mount, to be
hailed as specially opposite. Surprising
England was to take Mr.. Bright at his
word: Surprising she was to attempt the
role of meek and lowly power, turning
her cheek to the smiter refrainipg from all
aggression, giving away her substance in
charity, how long would she last Sup
pose France, or Germany, or Russia, or
Austria, was to adopt the distinctively
Christian policy to-day, how long would it
be before that country was enslaved
Really, Mr.. Bright, We are compelled to
he ashamed of vou

Masonic Discoveries in Egypt.
NEW York, January 27th-A. M.-The
Worlds cable from Alexandria saws DIR.
Fanton, highly instructed Mason, has fin.
ished careful examination of the founda-
lions of the obelisk, and confirms Lieutenant
Commander Carriages discovery of Masonic
emblems, which establish the relations of
many ancient Egyptian monuments. Fan
ton declares that the Hiram version of Ma
sonry, which originated with the construc-
ton of Solomon's Temple, is disproved
by the revelations of the foundations of the
obelisk. The Masonic emblem of Life and the
Sun, beyond doubt, is identical with the
monument of the Egyptian God Osiris. This
~eSoiy
struction of the Pyramids, or at least with
far remoter period than the construction of
the Obelisk. A number of blocks compris-
ing the foundation, well as their position
and arrangement, indicate that the ancients
were familiar with the higher degrees of Ma
sonry. at least as high as the Eighteenth De-
gree. Many peculiar emblems, not I'M
derstood by Garringe, were fully ex-
planned by Fanton from Masonic
point of view. This discovery furnishes
a clue to other important discoveries,
not only under the fallen obelisks, but also
in other parts of Egypt, rendering probable
solution of the mystery of the construction
of the Pyramids. Among the discoveries
was found perfect cube, and also emblems
of all the Masonic foundations. Garringe.
who is member of the Masonic fraternity,
entirely approves Fanton's explanation, and
gives this dispatch his entire appreciation.
The World says editerially of the above:
1--WE print the above as received, but readers
of the World will do well to await confirma-
ton of the particulars by Garringe."
