advocacy OF his bill to establish q gov

tion TO the proposed contract bstween
the government and the Postal Tele-
graph Company His bill, he asserted,
would not cost the government a dollar,
as the money necessary to establish o
postal telegraph would be raised by
the issue Of bonds. This was
more than could be said OF other prop
ositions. He asserted that the Govern
ment could do telegraphing for the peo-
pie at ten cents per message and more
than clear expenses, as 1t would be un-
der comparatively little expense for office
rent. fuel and light, which were very ex.
pensive. The proposition Of the postal

Government proposes to give afranchise

Christ, the Ruler Of Nations" were de-
livered, respectively, by Rev. E. Huber

Reform Association is an outgrowth OF

Q, 1883, to consider the crisis then i'm
pending in nations. Its life aud its OBJ.
ject, as set ont in the call for the con
vention, is to teach that the Almighty

thought themselves that for several days
before Mrs. Norton first left the Rincon
she had insisted that her children should
play and slide down on the identical
saud-hill where Norton's body was dis
covered, with tho evident hope Of max
ing his offspring thus bury beyond the
likelihood of discovery the remains Of
their murdered father.
The guilty pair were arrested, we be-
lieve. in the State Of Nevada, and tried
separately at Santa Barbara. Judge Sc.
pulveda, by request, presided at the
trial of Mrs. Norton. and, we believe,
also at the trial of Cotton. Clarence
Gray defended Mrs. Norton. Upon a
first trial the jury disagreed, and it was
thought that her sex, youthfulness and
undoubted good looks would shield her
from conviction; but the second jury did
its duty. and she was convicted, Cotton
having previously been convicted, and
both were sentenced to imprisonment
for life.
Cottons story in his defense was that
the murder was perpetratsd by some
tramps; hers that Cotton did the das.
tardly deed, and forced her, through
fear of death, to keep the secret and ac.
company him in his journeyings and fes.
tivities, including the photograph taking
and the smiling countenance therein
perpetuated.
1t is said that both Cotton and Mrs.
Norton have conducted themselves well
since their Imprisonment, and, If we mis-.
take not, Cotton rendered valuable SER
vices on the occasion OF the fire at the
San Quintin prison few years ago.
1. has always been believed by many
most convorsant with the circu instances
Of the crime, that the true history of the
murder is that Norton discovered the
guilty party violating his marital honor,
made an attack upon Cotton, and that
Cotton killed him; and that If both
prisoners had told "the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the TRUTH" there
would probably have been a verdict Of
manslaughter instead Of murder. This
opinion largely arises, however, from an
indisposition to believe in the total de.
pravity indicated by the other facts that
were revealed on the trial.
