The New Gold Fields.

The recent discovery of Gold in Low
er California has led In some degree to
a repetition of the scenes of 1S49. There
is no report that any California Sheriff
has telegraphed from the mines to his
deputy to hang the prisoners left be-
hind and he would attend to the form
aiity of trials afterwards, but ailway
employees have deserted contractors in
a body, and hotels in San Diego and
Los Angeles have been LETT waiterless
In short, there seems to be general
stampede from Southern California to
the new diggings, and if future prospect
ing shows the gold deposits to be at
all extensive, the peninsula will swarm
with goldhunters.
The new diggings are in Santa Clara
district, about $50 miles south of San
Diego, which is within fifteen miles of
the Mexican border. They may be
reached by crossing the border at Tia
Juna or from the port of La Ensenada
on the Pacific coast, which is about
forty miles from the mining district.
That gold exists in considera be guam
titles in lower California is not at all
improbable. The peninula, which is
$50 miles in length aud from 80 to $50
in width, is aversed from end to end
by the same mountain ranges In which
the gold deposits of Upper California
were found. These mountains vary in
height from 1000 to 5000 feet, and if
the same auriferous ledges found to
the north exist here the valleys will
doubtless furnish some rich placer
mines.
There is more or less danger that
complications with the Mexican Gov
ernment may arise. if the mines prove
really valuable and the rush continues
The country is thinIy populated, the
entire 81 900 square miles of territory
comprising the peninsula containing
but II little more than 10000 inhab-
itants or not more than one person to
every two and one-half square miles.
Enough gold hunters can cross the
Mexican line in single day to over
power the entire population of the pen
insula if they so desire. The average
gold hunter is not at all scrupulous
about the rights of others, especially
when the others are o lot of Mex lean
Indians, as in this case. The Mexican
Government has already ordered troops
to Tia Juna. to aid the Custom House
at that place. aud it will prob
ably find it necessary to station troops
at the mines to prevent the greedy
horde from seizing the country bodily.

i which St. Francois county was then 4
part i'm the State Senate. Subsequent
" he was appointed one of the curators
Of the State University at Columbia.
These were the only public positions.
! we believe, that he ever filed. In 1864
he married Mrs. Kate Murphy, an esti-
mable lady, belonging to one of the
earlier and most highly esteemed fam
lilies of this place. To them three chill
dren were born. Mrs. Bush died in
Florida about two years ago. The chill
dren are all living.
Mr.. Bush was a great lover of books
and an industrious student. Aside
from his knowledge of law, he affected
philosophic scientific and aboriginal
research, his penchant in the latter
study being the Mound Builders. He
was also fine Greek and Latin schol-
ar and was far more or less familiar
with the German,i in which he convers.
ed tiuently. Possessing plastic mind,
capable Of retaining and digesting
what he read, he became well ground
ed in the fundamental principles of the
law, but was visionary and theoretical
reaching out after the intricate and
abstruse. and in the management of
his legal causes leaving many Of the
all-lmportant minor details to take care
of themselves or to be looked after by
his associate attorneys. This neglect
or ignoring of minor questions, and his
researches in the realms of philosophy
and science to crafty natural taste
for study, interfered largely with his
success as a practicing attorney. When
yonng man, it is said, his faith was
strong in the Christian religion, but
through some subtle reasoning or the
influence of the books he had read, or
both, this faith was undermined and
he became an avowed ipfidei Coupled
with this was also an unfortunate habit
of drink that had grown upon and
mastered his will, eventually estrang-
ing the respect of former friends and
blasting the happiness of an interest
ing family.
His remains were taken to Irondale,
where his father and mother were bur-
led, for interment.-Fdrnain Times.

Shameful BfgOtry.

New Hampshire has again defeated
the proposed amendment to the Con-
stitution abOlisbing religious qualifica-
ton for public office in that State. 1t
| is due to the people of New Hampshire
to say that they gave majority OF
over 5000 in favor of effacing the
shameful bigotry against Catholics
that has prevailed there for genera
| tions past; but as the necessary two
thirds vote was not cast for it, bigotry
remains enthroned in the fundamental
law.
Much as has been said about tie alb
sence of frepu blican form of government
| in the south. the only States of the
Union which have long maintained
anti-republcan forms of government
ore Rhode Island and New Hampshire.
In Rhode Island no naturaliZed citizen
has been ii voter unless he possessed
property qualification, but that was
abolished last year, and the State is
now free from the stain of intolerance.
A pointed illustration of the effect of
the limitation upon suffrage was given
some years ago, when a naturalized
citizen who had been distinguished as
a soldier, and who had been Repre-
sentative in congress, was disqualified
by reverse of fortune.
An equally pointed illustration of
the contempt OF New Hampshire for
her own bigotry, was given some years
ago, when known Catholic was elect
ed to an important office in the face of
the constitutional disqualification, and
not a voice was raised against him
when he entered upon the duties of
his office. The mandate of the be. |
nighted bigot as declared by the Con-
stltution, is practically a dead letter,
but bigotry is yet so strong among the |
people that they refuse a two-thirds !
vote to abolish a feature OF the funda-
mental law that they have not the
courage to enforce

GOOD ADVICE FOR CHICAGO.

An Ex.Lord Mayor of London Tells
How to Prevent Jobbery.
CHICAGO, Sept. 14-[Special Telegram to
TUE Bee SIR Henry Knight, formerly
lord mayor of London, arrived in this city
this morning with Lady knight and w. W..
Phillips, an English business associate.
81 would like to leave lutte advice in
Chicago said he in an interview this even
ing. SIT is about iobbery in municipal bodies.
The best cure for it IS large council. Peo-
pie talk about iawing and no work, but it is
better to let council jaw than vote
away the rights of the people. In London
we have a council of 226. Each Of our COM
mittees is composed OF no less than thirty
six members Who ever heard of jobbery
in London council! We have tried the
small body in the metropolitan board of pub
lie works, which had about thirty members.
Some of their committees had only six
members. The scandal began at once, and
has continued ever since. They can talk
about big councils being cumbersome, but it
is the sure way to cure jobbery, and the
best thing Chicago could do would be to
double hers"
Sir Henry insists that neither councilmen
or mayor should receive salary, because it
gets men into the administration who only
want pay.

CHICAGO, Sept. 14.-[Special Telegram
To The BEE l-Secretary Cragiu, Of the Chi
cago worlds fair committee, to-day received
the following postal cards
New York, Sept. 11.-Dear Sir:. We do
not want to have that Internal fair here at
all, and we hope you will be able to hold it
in your city. 1t will be bloody nuisance,
and all the row here is made by a few measly
one.horse papers. Try your best and you
will get it. Yours, etc.

This communication has provided con-
siderable merriment and Is published with
great ostentation by the afternoon papers.
The Canadian provinces are becoming in
terested in the worlds fair and the Manitoba
Sun says: A great deal of space IN the news
paper press of the United States is occupied
with a discussion of the relative claims and
advantages of New York and Chicago as the
site for the worlds exposition for 1892. 1t is
not likely Manitoba's voice will count for
much in deciding the question, but so far as
she has any influence she holds up both
hands for Chicago. With the exposition III
the queen city of the west not only would
almost all Manltobans take in the ''grate
sho," as Artemus Ward would have put it,
but they could be depended upon to see that
the agricultural resources of the province
were represented on large scale. Should
New York be selected the difficulties in the
way would be increased, and 1t is safe to say
Manitoba would play very small part there
as compared with what would be attempted
at Chicago.

North Adams Shoe Manufacturers
Threaten to Employ Chinese.
NORTH ADAMS, Mass, Sept. 14.-lSpecial
Telegram to The BEE. This town is greatly
excited over the threat of the shoe manufac-
turers to introduce Chinese labor into the big
factories. For month past general strike
has been in progress here by the lasters and
knights of Labor hands over reduction of
wages, which, the mill agents declare, was
rendered necessary by dull trade and west
ern competition. The factories have
now been idle for over a fort
night, resulting in great loss to
the companies. President G. II. Sampson,
of the Sampson Manufacturing company, a
few days since presided at meeting of the
manufacturers, and spoke Of his experience
with Chinese, their great faculty of imita-
ton, steady habits and cheapness, and urged
that the mills be filled with them, claiming
that in week they would be competent
workmen. The meeting thought favorably
of his statement ana entered into a
contract with the Six Companies in
San Francisco relative TO procuring
the 900 necessary hands. What decision
has been reached IS unknown, but the news,
becoming known, has made the strikers wild,
and they are threatening incendiarism and
everything else, il the Chinese are imported.

ried out, and are Deseeching the authorities

MERIDIAN, Miss, Sept. 14.-[Special Tele-
gram 10 TIE BEE, The white people of
Newton county, especially In the vicinity of
Decatur, have been much disturbed by re-
ports that the negroes are arming and organ
izing. The rumors were put a1oat by the
negroes themselves. They we're going to
make serious trouble, and meetings are being
held over the county looking to that end.
The result Is the white people are armIng
themselves, and the merchants have been
unable to supply the demand for Winches-
ters, one merchant stating he could have
sold over hundred rifles yesterday il he
could have supplied them. The whites de.
clare they want no trouble, but will be pre-
pared for an emergency. Tho negro es ac

politically, but deny they intend any disturb

take this view of the matter.

ports of race troubles in Jasper county show
they are assuming larger proportions. On
Sunday night last crowd lof masked men
congregated at a small negro church about
seven miles west of Paulding and held

this church was negro school house and
this they also fred The dwelling house Of

Mr.. b. Hair, white man, was visited. Mr..
Hair and family were much abused, but no

have been arrested in Newton county for in
citing insurrection, and are now IN Jail at
Decatur. Two of them confessed there was
an organization of blacks and that they were
to unite on Sunday, the 10Th, and commencs
war. Further arrests OF some leading
negroes dlscloses the fact that there Is an
organization, but for political purposes only.
The white people of the county are organic

having been sold at Newton. 1t is not now
expected that any outbreak will be made at

Rush From the Building


CHICAGO Sept. 14.-Between eight and ten
thousand people rushed pell NELL out of the
exposition building tonight, falling over each
other down stairs from the gallery, and
many jumping through the windows In their
hurry to escape. A fire had started in one
of the big booths near the center of the
huge structure, and the glare Of flames and
the crash Of plate glass caused panic. Men,
women and children Joined in mad rush for
tie exits, which were fortunately numerous
enough to prevent any fatal crushing
Within five minutes the excited thousands of
people were safe outside of the structure
and few minutes thereafter the flames
We're extinguished and one-fourth of the in
terror of the exposition was in ruins. The
damage to the building itself was slight and
the art gallery wholly escaped.
The losses of the exhibitors will reach
$4,000. No persons were reported seriously
injured, though doubtless many suffered
minor hurts and others had decidedly dis
agreeable experiences. One young lady and

have at last broken through the heavy clouds
aud New Workers dfe congratulating them
selves that the storm which has remained
with them since Monday last has gone. The
feeling of uneasiness in shipping cir
cles as to the safety of many
vessels at sea during the storm
remains the same as ever. There are sew
eral New York steamers and sailing vessels
overdue, and as telegraphc communication
between here and number of ports remains
cut off, it is impossible to learn anything for
the present.
The pilot boat David CARL this morning
brought INTO quarantine the captain and
crew, eleven in all, of the German bark
Urna. The bark hailed from Wilmington
and when off Barnegat, was stove in by
heavy seas. The David CARL tried to tow
her in, but shortly after getting a line to her
the bark capslZcd.
A rough estimate of the loss to shipping by
the late storm, made by an officer of the
maritime exchange this morning, showed
that fully 81, 1,250,00O damage has been done.
The number of vessels known to have been
wrecked greatly exceeds the first expecta-
tions of shipping men and many more YES

For twelve hours all hands clung to the
rigging for dear life Wednesday the
