May my sorrow be your good.
Oh, be happy for my having

ORC Gasado is the rugged portion of the

whore Tuesdays fight occurred. The
courier bringing the above letter also
brought dispatch from Signor Lorenzo
Chavarin, Project of Altar District, to Gov
ernor Torres, giving some interesting de-
tails Of Tuesdays fight The peak where
the fight took place is called Pinaito. A
small force of Imuris, Magdalena and Sarie
volunteers engaged the hostiles in the
morning, and were repulsed with two killed
and five wounded and thirty horses and
equipments lost. Project Chavarin arrived
half an hour later with sixty Altar volun-
teers, and fought the hostiles for two full
hours, killing two Apaches and four horses
and wounding a number of hostiles and
horses, without a single casualty to his own
command.
On this side the troops are actively scout
ing in all directions, on the lookout for In
dian trails. Telegraph signals are con-
stantly passing from peak to peak. No In
dian signs have been seen, and it is not be-
lieved that any hostiles are on this side of
the line.

be inf icted in this case The absolute truth is
not patent or known. but time and future devel-
opments may render it certain, and it cannot be
said that the doomed man may not be entirely
vindicated. There are certainly such doubts in
the case as would move mercy to stay the hand
of the executioner
The law can no more afford the reproach
of immuring this man for life because of a
doubt Of guilt, than it can afford to exc
cute him because of 4 doubt as to his inno-
cence. The sublimity of the law is in its
certainty; the office of mercy is to rescue
utterly when the law fails in this essential.
We do not know prisoner or prosecutor, or
jury or counsel, and have no other advices
than the cold statement published from the
face of the petition. On that we say, treat
ing the case by itself and not as prece-
dent, the Governor ought to do one of two
things, place the responsibility Of the
hanging where it will belong, with Court
and jury and thus give juries to under
stand that their verdicts must be true or
else rescue the man wholly because a
doubt that it is now admitted should have
existed at the trial, was not entertained,
and which, had the jury done its duty and
given it full play, would have entitled the
man t. verdict of not guilty.

CONVICT VS.. FREE LABOR.
The Charges Against the Prison DiIec'
Ors Being Investigated.


On Saturday last the charges preferred
against the State Prison Directors, by At
torney-General Marshall, were heard by
Governor Stoneman, assisted by Judge Cy-
rus Wallace of Napa, who acted as advisory
counsel. The charges were that the Direc-
tors violated Section 6 OF Article X OF the
Constitution, which reads: After the
first day OF January, 1882, the labor of con-
victs shall not be let out by contract to any
person, copartnership, company, or corpor-
alton, and the Legislature shall, by law,
provide Tor the working OF conyicts for the
benefit of the State
Only Directors Develin and Hendricks
were present, the former acting as attorney
Tor the Board, and the Attorney-General
was assisted by Mr.. Baggett
In his opening statement Hon. L. C.
Marshall said he had no personal feeling
against the members of the Board, but he
believed they had acted in violation OF the
law and from misrepresentation of their
duty. Owing to their action injury had re-
suited, especially at Folsom, and there had
been serious Gripping of industries by
the competition of free with convict labor.
The object sought could be obtained with
out the removal of the members, or they
could be reappointed if removed. They
had drawn up stipulations and state
ments regarding the working of con-
yicts at the prison. He had no objec-
tions to them, as they substantiate1
the charges made The disposing of
piece goods made by convicts is not dis
tinguishable from a leasing OF the labor of
! the prisoners, and at Folsom free labor has,
in certain vocations, been driven from the
field. He had no complaint to make
against the jute department, as there
seemed to be no competition. The work
al Folsom is evidently formidable COM
petition, as the work of free stone cutting
in that place is totally precluded.
Director pevlin said that the charge
against the Directors is that convict labor
IS let out by contract and this was the
| only question to be considered. The in
veStigatiOn is to show whether or not the
Constitution has been violated. He held
not, and claimed that the very section cited
above was passed that more of the convicts
could be made to work. He supported his
argument by reading from the debates in
the Convention that framed the New Con-
stitution.
After listening to Mr.. Baggett and some
stone cutters the hearing was closed.
Governor otoneman gave each side
fifteen days to file briefs, when the case
would be taken under advisement and a
decision rendered as soon as possible.

THE AMERICAN TURF.
Lucky b. Wins a Race at Lon
isyille.

| BY Telegraph.
LOUISVILLE Ky.), May 18th - The
weather was cool and fair, but the track
was stiff on account of last nights rain.
The attendance was very good. The first
race, for the Alexander stakes, five eightbs
of a mile, Duke of Bourbon won by a
length, Poteen second, Stuyvesant, third.
Time Lola. The second race, one and
three-eighths miles. Leman won by short
head, King George second, Bootblack,
third. Time. 2:2Si. The third race. the
Dixiana handicap, distance one and one
quarter miles, Lucky b. won by a length,
Edith second, Highfight third Time,
2:111. The fourth race, three-quarters of a
mile, Pearl Jennings won by a length,
Conkling second, Malvie, third. Time,
lib. The fifth race, one and one-eighth
miles, Endurer won by two lengths, Ex
port second, Fatsius third. Time, Los.
LUCKY B., the winner of the Dixiana handi-
cap, is one of the grandest race-horses ever bred
IN Calf srnla- He is by Rutherford, out of Mag
gle immersion, and is very dark bay. He is
above the average race-horse hight, and both
bony and muscular. He is six years old and
has had a brilliant career on the turf His per-
formances in California as three and four-year-
old stamped him as one of the gamest race
horses OF family famous for pluck In 1884 he
won the four-mlle race at the fall meeting of the
Blood Horse Association, when he beat Patsy
Duffy after one of the finest races ever seen
upon the course. He is fine weight-carrier,
and mas been especially trained this season for
t"omHe races. he only appeared once this
season in California, when he ran second to his
stable companion, Volante, when they beat Gar
land for the Cayuma stakes. He went East last
season, but was taken sick at st. Louis at the
commencement of the tour. and could not be
got TITO condition again throughout the year.
IL is 4 significant fact that the two California
race horses who won such special honors for the
State at Louisville on Friday and Saturday are
named after their owners. Ben Ali the winner
of the Kentucky Derby, bears MI Haggin's sec
ond name. Lucky B., the winner of the Dixiana
handicap bears the name abbreviated by which
his owner IS known throughout California,

MUNICIPAL POLITICS.

For years the RECoRD-UNToN has con-
tended for the enforcement of municipal
affairs from political control A city is but
union of householders, who, for mutual COM
fort and protection, set up and enforce ordi-
names to secure good streets, corner lights,
water, clearly grounds, fire and police pro-
lection and good schools. What on earth
have Democratic or Republican policies to
do with these attainments? City affairs
should be administered upon a business
and economic basis and the best service
secured possible, and the wisest possible
economy practiced, regardless of political
faith or control. And the time will come
when this will be the rule in cities in this
country. Party municipal politics have
been dominated by rings in half the cities
OF the Union, and made the means to
boost small ambition into place. The
same influence makes the House of Cor
rection, Industrial School, Street Depart
ment, Department Of Education and half
the remaining departments in San Fran
cisco the instruments by which small poll
tlclans accomplish personal ends and bleed
the taxpayers. 1t had illustration in the
Tweed infamy it has recently been ex-
empliiied in the Aldermanic corruption
cases in New York; it led up to the So
clalist riots in Chicago; it became so foul
an influence in Albany and in Philadel-
phia that citizens committees We're raised
to protect the people from their officials.
1t has never been other than a depressing
influence in municipal government: it
cripples officials who want to do right: it
hinders development, increases taxes,
eliminates competency seven times out of
ten in favor of party servitors; it makes
public works the fodder trouglls for ward
strikers and the dependents of political
bosses; it nearly destroys the purpose and
usefulness Of the party primary held with
in municipal bounds it limits the posi-
bilities of public sanitation; dictates in
great degree the conduct of the public
schools, and makes mere municipal trusts
OF honor, stepping stones to political prom
inence and paying offices. Political in
iiuence, indeed, in city government is bad,
however viewed, and is the positive enemy
of economic and good administration.

good sense prevailed, and the motion was

TIE San Francisco Post, referring to the
railroad tax cases, saws that the situation
so far as the constitutional questions are
concerned, remains as before the decision
of the Supreme Court of the United States.
and that the duty of the State now is to
take advice of the best lawyers of Califor-
MIA, and seek it just as a business man
would ask advice concerning the relation
of his affairs to the law. This is all very
well-new advisers may well be consulted.
But who entertains any belief that they
will be, while Controller so roek-rooted
in his own legal capacity as is Mr.. Dunn,
fills that position? He is the champion
Director, and appears to consider the end
and aim of his Office to be to force litiga-
ton. He is forever interposing and for
ever being defeated, as the Post charges.
Not until another Legislature meets can
there be entertained any reasonable hope
of calmer counsels. Mr. Dunn's policy Is
opposed to it. He will be set one side by
ballots in due time, but until then let no
one fiatter himself that Mr.. Dunn will
yield his own legal opinions to those of
anybody. There ought to be no great diff
hculty in the matter of taxing the rail
roads-even-handed justice may be easily
dealt out; and we venture to say that the
railroad corporations will not be found OBJ
st:nate and resisting when the sentiment
gives way that they exist simply to be
plucted and cinched. The adoption of the
Heath amendment will sweep away all the
present difficulties, take out of public view
:he whole Naturalization question, and
assure to the State the payment by the
Railroads of due proportion of the funds
necessary to be raised for the support of
the Government. As the Post well saws

THIS thing of California horses winning
tirst-class Eastern races is becoming so
common that there is no longer any nov
city in the news. The day is here, and
fully born, in which California bred horses
take their place side by side with the best
in the world. The bluegrass region of
Kentucky no longer can maintain the ex-
clusiveness that has so distinguished it.
California has challenged it, and before the
end of another decade will outrank it for
stock-breeding.
