CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE.

The Colusa Sun calls attention to the
remarkable fact-remarkable only in the
light of the Paysonian theory that civil
lization has caused the present damage
to the Sacramento river-that above the
mouth of the Feather river, where the
chief discharges of mining debris begin,
the shoaling is comparatively insig-
nifcant, yet it is fact that agricultural
influences are trebly greater above the
Feather river than below it. This fact
alone negatives whatever of force there is
in Captain Payson's theory that civiliza-
ton is chargeable with the ruin of the
river, meaning thereby the cultivation of
the soil, the settling up and draining of
the country, etc.

The Epidemic of Crime.

Whence comes this epidemic of suicides
and murders? Recent discussions have
named several causes. Hon. C. II. Reeve,
OF Indiana, charges it TO infidel teachings
holding that hopelessness of a future state
cnpples fortitude for bearing life's ills.
Another declares suffering from the uni
versal business depression the cause. A
third writer attributes it to increasing in
sanity, a physician thinks much of the
tendency is inherited, while temperance

Free-thinkers have committed suicide.
but so have orthodox churchmen. Finan-
clal straits have beset many, but the wealthy
have also taken their life
insanity and dissipation have preceded
SUICIDES and family murders.
One feature common to almost every
such crime challenges attention Well nigh
every report of suicide and family murder
mentions the perpetrator as having " for
Tor some time been subject to melancholy"
whence comes this2 All recognized medi-
cal authorities tell us that the fire which
consumes the brain is always kindled by
arrangements of digestion: that good di-
gestlon is impossible without pure blood,
and pure blood is never known when the
llver and kidneys are out Of order Under
such circumstances preventive should be
sought, and for this Warmers safe cure is
sovereign-a fact conceded by the best au-
thorities in the land, and it is especially
commended by the celebrated DR.. Dio

CAMP SLOVENIAN ECHOES. - The San
Francisco Bulletin of August 9th has the
following
The Citizens Committee of Santa Cruz
have paid over to the National Guard the
sum OF 81 900 which has been tied I'D" for
several days. The Second and Fourth
Brigade Unconstitutional and Carey
each received $3.50, and the Division Com
mander- General Turnbull-$5OO. The
subject OF further division will come up
hereafter. The next thing is to secure the
appropriation of $4,000 from the State and
to determine whether it shall be paid in
round sum to the Division Commander or
apportioned to the various regiments on the
basis of the number of men on duty in
camp. The Controller will probably de
eide this matter. The amount allowed for
two years was absorbed by the expenses of
the Santa Cruz Encampment If the troops
go into camp next year they will be called
upon to defray their own expenses. AS the
National Encampmelt of the Grand Army
OF the Republic will be held in San Fran
cisco next summer. it may be safely as
sumed that division assembly of the
State troops would only be an incident of
the military display of the season.
Caterer Seabury, who commanded the
cook and waiter brigade at Santa Cruz, has

Cor THE SrocK.-The following is ex-
tracted from the San Francisco Bulletin of
August 9TH
In connection with the sweeping state
ment OF an examining committee of the de-
funct California Produce Exchange that 100
shares of gratis stock was distributed to the
press, ex-Secretary Gerold of the Exchange
was asked by a reporter to give the names
of the members of the press of this city
who got portion of the 100 shares of stock
of the concern TO lend their efforts TO the
promotion of the prosperity of the Ex-
change. The eX-Secretary declined, at first,
to mention the names, but being pressed
finally gave them. They were those of two
persons occupying prominent positions on
the Chronicle, The worst feature of this ex-
posture is the fact that the names of these
persons do not appear on the books of the
Exchange as open purchasers of the stock
for money. and what consideration was
given for the stock must be left to coniec-
ture

State Prison Directors.

At the meeting of the State Prison Di-
rectors We lnesday it was decided to uni
form all the officers of the prison having
convicts in charge. There were many ap-
plications for pardons. ]. S. Ragsdale lost
his credits for an attempt to escape, and be
wanted them restored. Hewas found after
" lookup" hid under bale of straw. His
explanation was that while plling the straw
he fell back to the ground and received
such a shock that it made him sick, and,
being hot day, he crawled under the pile
and fell asleep, where he remained until he
was awakened by searchers. The Board
decided that the prisoner did not make an
attempt to escape, Directors Boggs and
Devlin voting in the negative.
The Board decided 10 report fayorably to
the Governor for pardon David Guard, SEN
fenced to seven years for burglary, on the
ground that the prisoner is suffering from
malformation requiring n surgical opera
ton, which, in nine cases out of ten, ter
inmates fatally. The case of NJ. II. Ather-
ton was also recommended favorably. The
sentence of Anterior, who was sent from
Santa Cruz i'll 1878, for term of twenty
five years, for murder in the second degree,
was commuted by Governor Perkins to
fifteen years. Besides the eight wears
which he has served in the State Prison.
he was three years in the County Jail. His
petition is signed by names representing
$30,000,000, among them nine of the Supe-
Nor Judges of San Francisco and some of
the most prominent citizens.
The case of Edward Chapman, sentenced
to twenty-five years for the cold-blooded
and brutal murder of a Chinaman in Butte
county, was indefinitely postponed.
The Board considered communication
from Warden Shirley, returning TIE plans
for permanent Improvements. The esti-
mates include material and exclude labor,
and aggregate for the hospital building,
lunatic asylum, front wing front center
building $2S,4l2 20, involving an actual

Warden was authorized to have the pro-
posed additions made to the old prison

ton by the lunatic prisoners; also to have
the new hospital built, and employ an
architect TO superintend the construction Of

COMMENTING upon the criticism of this
journal that the style" of separating a

Very true, and abandoned by the same
editorial management that experimental
in that direction, for precisely the reasons
advanced in our recent criticism. The
style " has not obtained upon the REC
oRD-UNIoN for many years, and only ex-
perimentally when it was tried. The
REcoRD-UNIoN is not open to the captious
criticism Of the Mercury that it aims to be
a journalistic pedagogue, but in common
with all self-respecting papers it comments
upon any topic that is deemed of interest

work. 1t Is quite ready to learn of the
experienced, but would never think of
looking to the self-opinionated contempo-
rary named, for journalistic advice.

form which the nobleman invited. So
perverse and incomprehensible is the

in the fact that, while the volumes of
