The present scarcity Of chickens in
the Astoria market Is accounted for
in variety of ways. One of the
reasons is the unusual demand for
them IN the case of Chinese oaths.
Every time Chinaman makes solemn
oath in the giving of testimony in
court or before an officer he has TO
cut chickens head of, this being
the most approved form of affirma-
ton, Yesterday five fowls thus lost
their lives, and to-day five more will
be inundated upon the altrr of Mon
golian justice. The fowls after being
kilt are not wholly lost, being eaten
by the minions of the law and Others
to whom they fall as deodands of
appeased requirements.

The present freight arrangements
appear to discriminate against Asto-
ria in the matter of lumber, virtually
shutting Astoria mills out from east
ern business. The rate on lumber
from Portland, Astoria, Seattle and
Tacoma. to Missouri river points, was
GO cents hundred. Now it is 60
cents from Tacoma and Albina-and
20 cents from Astoria. The rate on
salmon remains the same Just why
this is is not apparent, but the result
is that the extra tariff of SO a thou
sand freight from here places Asto-
ria at a disadvantage in this respect.

SHOCKING BRUTALITY.
Terrible and Bloody Ending of a Ken
lucky Vendetta

CATLETTsBURG (Ky.), January Sth.-In-
telligence has reached this place of one of
the most wanton and diabolical cases of
arson and murder ever committed in the
State of Kentucky. The scene is on Black
berry fork of Pond creek, in Pike county.
The crime is the outgrowth of an old feud,
and is laid at the door of the notorious
Hattields and their gang.
About five years ago there was an elec-
ton held on that creek and one OF the
Hatfields came across the river from West
Virginia, and during the day engaged in
an alteration with one of the McCoys.
Two of McCoys brothers came to the res
cue and fatally stabbed Hatfield. Hatfield
was taken home and his relatives swooped
down on the Mccoy boys, took them cap
tive and held them prisoners, until Ellison
Hatfield, whom they had stabbed, died.
Then the Hatfields conveyed the three Nc
Coy boys to the scene of the alteration.
stripped them, tied them to paw-paw
bush, shot them to death and left their
dead bodies in that position.
Since that time a regular war has been
waged between the Hatfieds and their gang,
who reside in Logan county, W. Va, and
the McCoys and their gang, who reside in
Pike county, KY. All are In the same
neighborhood, the east fork of the Sandy
river dividing them.
A few nights since the Hatfield party
visited the residence of Randall Mccoy and
set it on fire. Alfara, his eldest daughter,
was the first to open the door and make her
appearance, and in the glaring light she was
shot dead by the fiends outside, who were
concealed. HIS son Calvin next appeared.
HeTwas shot dead. Then his wife made her
appearance, and in escaping from the burn
ing building she was shot through the
head, and although she was still alive at
last accounts she will die. Randall Mccoy
escaped from the burning house with his
shotgun, and, although a volley was dis
charged at him, he escaped unhurt and
opened fire on the attacking party He is
known to have killed one of the gang
named Chambers and it is said shot Cap.
tain Hatfield in the shoulder and put the
rest 10 flight.
There are rewards aggregating 81, 700 of
fered by the State of Kentucky for the ar
rest of the Hatfields, and their delivery to
the jailer of Pike county, for the murder OF
the three Mccoy boys, but no one seems
desirous to make the attempt to take
them. as they are strongly barricaded in
the wilds of West Virginia One of their
number constantly stands guard, and they
defy the authorities, but retributiye Justice
is likely to speedily follow, as their last
acts have stirred up the whole section.
This gang of outlaws has killed Mr.. Nc
Coy'S wife, three of his sons and one
daughter, besides burning his house, leay-
ing him only three daughters. But if the
HattieldS are even taken, dead or alive. the
men who undertake the Job will have q
fight, as this set of West Virginia toughs is
a determined and desperate band.

THE CALIFoRNIA QUESTION.
The New York "a Tribune" Writes About
Our Boom.

The New York Z" Tribune" Writes About
Our Boom.
lCcPT'gAt 1885, by the California Associated PressI
NEW YORK, January 8th.-An occasional
correspondent OF the Tribune writes from
San Francisco characterizing the land
boom IN Southern California as one OF the
peculiar crazes which sweep periodically
over certain sections OF the country. and
the Doom IN the northern part of the State
as TIE result OF jealously of the marvellous
growth OF towns in the south. But, he
says, III the Sacramento and San Joa-
gum valleys the progress of the
large city in its turn has felt
the upward Influence. In most places the
enduring result is an impulse to divide the
large holdings of land into twenty or forty-
acre tracts. These rich valleys have long
been held IN great grain ranches, the
owners OF which yearly added to their
landed possessions. They took certain
pride IN their thousands of acres, and they
refused all offers to sell any portion of
| their vast estates.
| Recently, however, they have had
| change of heart. The increase in values
has been their own undoing. The assess
ment roll is made upon the new valuation,
and they cannot afford to pay the taxes
| on this land. Hence the movement in
Sacramento, San Joaquin and Tehama
counties to divide these principalities of
| wheat-growers. Colonies are being formed
IN these and other counties and in the
near future the oid-time wheat fields will
be transformed into orchards and vine
yards, each the home of a prosperous
| family.
This is the best result of the speculative
| craze since it is the small settler, who does
his own work and cultiyates not moro than
| forty acres, that can best demonstrate the
wonderful fertility of California soil and its
equally wonderful adoption to all kinds of
/ fruit

Proposed Enabling Acts.

WAsHINGToN, January Sth.-Springer,
Chairman of the Committee on Territories,
to-day said: Very likely enabling cts
will be passed for some of the Territories.
That is, we may pass an Act enabling some
OF the Territories to adopt State Constitu-
tions and construct the machinery of State
governments preparatory to recognition as
States.
The admission of new State is verv
important matter, and cannot be done on
application, or on any other mythical basis.
Somehow an impression has got abroad
that Territory must have certain popu-
lation to qualify it for admission There
is no law and no custom about it. The
admission of a new State is entirely mat
ter of legislative discretion. 1t is within
the power of Congress to erect No Mans
Land into a State and admit it to the
Union. The State of Illinois was admit
ted when she had less than 10000 people.
Dakota has over 100000. Congress in its
discretion may exclude Dakota, and may
admit No Mans Land

SALT LAKE City, January Sth.-A party
of twenty-six emigrants-men, women and
children-from Arkansas on the way to
Washington Territory, camped, in the re-
cent snow-storm, in Strawberry valley,
southeast of here. Their horses gave out
and they lost their way, and would proba-
bly, have perished had they not been dis
covered by some settlers of Provo valley.
Leaving their wagons and outfit, the COM
pany was taken TO Heper City and cared
for. Their outfit will not probably be re-
covered till spring.
Thirty men left the mining camp of Alta,
on the Little Cottonwood, yesterday, for
this city, and had a terrible trip. The
snow was eight feet deep, and it took them
all day to travel twelve miles. Some of
the party suffered from cold so that they
lay down, and it was only by the labor and
persistence of their companions that they
got through alive. Only seventy men are
now left in that camp.
The Salt Lake and Western Railroad,
running to Tintic mining district, has been
blockaded by snow for three days. The
Utah and Northern passenger train is re-

Gorham, ex-Secretary of the Senate, and
stalwart Republican politician, is to-day
as be has ever been-still alive and kick

memoirs of Edwin Stanton, but he finds
sufficient time to keep up with the politi-
cal procession. The California Associated
Press correspondent met him tonight at
the residence of Senator Stewart of Nevada
Who will the Republicans nominate for
President? ?" asked the correspondent.
Il have no means of knowing" was the
reply. GOD moves in mysterious ways his
wonders to perform"
"Will it be Blaine?"
If it is Blaine the Republican party will
meet the fate of the old Wing party, and it
will deserve such fate"
who do you favor for the nomination 2"
THE man for whom Roscoe Conkling
will get up in the Academy of Music or
Cooper Institute in New York, and urge
the New York Republicans to support. A
good Republican, with Conklings indorse-
ment, can carry the State, and will be
elected President. If Blaine is to be NOM
mated again he will not carry more States
than did Scott when he ran against Pierce.
The Republican party will become so
shriveled that it can be swept upon dust
pan and thrown into the ash-barrel. If the
Republican party is to become Blaine
party, the sooner it dies the better"
What Republican would make an avail
able candidate-one upon which the entire
party could unite?"
There are plenty of good men for can
didates. For example, there is General
Sheridan or Justice Miller of the Supreme
Court. Miller is little old, but is in full
possession of his mental and physical
powers. No Republican could refuse to
vote for either of them'

FOR LAMAR.
Senator Stewart Writes a Long Letter in
Support of Lamsr's Confirmation.

SchatoI StoWaTL w rltcs Long Letter IN
support of Lamsr's Confirmation.
WASHINGTON, January Sth.-Senator
Stewart has given out for publication a
letter addressed by him to one of his Ne
vada constituents concerning the confrma-
ton of Secretary Lamar as Justice of the
Supreme Court. The letter is very long,
and constitutes q review of Lamar's public
acts and utterances concerning the recon-
struction measures of Congress. It shows
that he has steadily and openly given his
adherence to the several amendments to
the Constitution, and had counseled the
people of the South to accept them in the
proper spirit as being part of the funda-
mental law of the Government and there
fore as binding as any portion of that in
strument.
Reference is made to Lamar's eulogy on
the late Charles Sumner and also to his
oration last April at the unveiling of the
Calhoun monument at Charleston, South
Carolina. The latter is strong indorse-
ment for Lamar for the Supreme Bench,
and shows that the writer intends to sup
port his confirmation.
