A Brutal Murder.

A sad episode took place on Monday
near Jasper which resulted in the loss
Of life of one of the beat citizens Of the
county. and leaves a sad home, the hus-
band and father of which is wantonly
murdered.
1t seems that deputy marshal Viii.
liams Raulston, OF South Pittsburg, had
a warrant to arrest Charles Russell for
counterfeiting, and proceeded to exc
cute the warrant The offense WAS
this: Russell had taken two snuff tick
cts, which are printed on one side in
together, and had passed them off on
the proprietor of shooting gallery at
South Pittsburg rs five dollar bill, re-
ceiVing good money in change. When
it was attempted to arrest him, Russell
had been working in the field and had
come to the house where he was met by
by the officer. Immediately two shots
were heard and RaulstOn fell mortally
wounded, u bullet entering his right
eye and passing to the back OF his head.
Russell escaped, the only other officer
being present being deputy Brewer,
who was at the front OF the house. Mr..
Raulston was taken to his home but
never EekdluSu COuSClOuhlOSa duu ulbu
the same evening. He leaves Il widow
and several small children, to whom the
shock was terrible He was buried at
the family graveyard at Battle Creek
Tuesday.
Russell was followed by a posse of
! citizens and officers, and close watch
was kept during the night On Tues
day he was found at the house OF his
brOther-in.law, Jesse Brown, on the
mountain, and was arrested by Messrs.
Hugh RaulstOn, Henderson, and others.
Russell opened FIRE, which WAS return
ed and be was slightly wounded. His
captors took him to South Pittsburg.
The feeling Of Indignation increased
as the day wore on, and but for the pro-
lection of the officers, the murder Of
Williams Raulston would have been
speedily avenged.
OF Mr.. Raulston, who was city mar
shal OF South Pittsburg for two years,
the community express the highest es-
TEEN and appreciation, and deeply SYM
pathize with his family and friends.
All denounce the crime as wantOn and

Assassinated.

One of the most cowardly and diabol-
ical deeds ever perpetrated in Grumpy
county was committed at Gruetli, this
county, last Sunday night. Rev. Alfred
Ruchman, young minister and pastor
of the SwedenbOrgiOn church at that
place was assassinated by some I'M
known party while sitting at the table
eating lunch. The facts as near as
we can gather them are as follows: Rev.
Ruchman lived in the parsonage near
the church with an old gentleman by
the name of Nussbaum. These two
were alone in the parsonage. About
o'clock Mr.. Ruchman sat down to ia
BILE in the kitchen to eat lunch, the
old man sitting In the room adjoining
reading. just as he sat down to the Ia
bic some unknown and cowardly assas-
ain shot him through window, the ball
striking him on the chin, glancing on
and penetrating his neck and lodging
Just under the skin on his back. When
shot he arose and walked into the room
where Mr.. Nussbaum was sitting and
fell dead. The tragedy is shrouded in
mystery. No cause can be given for the
shooting, and no clue can be had IS TO
the perpetrators of the deed. Some
four or five parties have been arrested
on suspicion. Two of them have been
acquitted and the others are TO be tried
tomorrow. Every effort will be made to
get the guilty party, and II found he
will be dealt with as he deserves.
MIR. Ruchman was a most excellent
young man-22 years OF age-and q
promising preacher. 1t was not known
that he had an enemy. He was uni
versally liked by those who knew him.
His remains were inferred in the vii
lage cemetery there Wednesday morn
ing, Funeral services were held BY
Rev. c. A. Nussbaum. His funeral ant
burial we're attended by a large con
course Of people. A large crowd wen
out from Tracy City.
We hope the perpetrators Of the tou
deed will be caught and punished e
the full extent of the law.-Tracy CITY

THE LEAGUE CLUBS.
JITH the assembling of the convention of
 NAf publican League clubs in this city to-day

IITH the assembling of the convention of Re NAf publican League clubs in this city to-day the
 campaign ot the coming elections will virtually begin It IS the first important political gathering ot the year and will have potent effect in rousing Re publican enthusiasm and inducing the members of the rank and file to organize for the struggle and the vic tory before them.
 The Republican League IS comparatively new conner into the field of political work but in past campaigns has amply demonstrated its usefulness to the party. Leaders of the highest eminence have borne witness to its worth and have encouraged the continuance and expansion of its organization. Through it the clubs of different localities united State association, and that in turn is brought into close relations with organizations in other States, that the whole is national union of organized Re- publicans of great power and influence
 The characteristic of the league which gives it an especial claim upon the loyalty of Republicans is it's strict devotion to party principles and complete sepa- ration from the interests of particular candidates It supports asprant for nomination any office, but after the nominations have been made it supports all with the ardent zeal of stalwart Republicansn This frees 1t from any possible weakening through dsscn- sions brought about by rvalres between contending factions of ambitious leaders and makes it strong in the unity of all for the great policies for which the Republican party stands in governmental system
 At the convention which assemblies to-day there arc expected be upward of delegates representing all sections of the State and rehectng the sentiment of the party whole. The work it will be called upon perform is important It will have to arrange for making vigorous campaign for organizing clubs in every county, for rousing the energies of all Re publcans and for alyng the league clubs of the State in close sympathy and touch with the national organ ration.
 With disorganized Democracy and Popuisn gone wild there appears and certain victory for the Republican party in the coming election. This ap- pearance may, however, prove deceitful It will be safest any rate for the Republicans of California to rely for upon their strength rather than upon the weakness and demorazaton of their foes.
 The issue involved in the Congressional contests will be of great magnitude and of vital interest to our national welfare. It is therefore gratifying to have the Republican ranks in order at this early date for the campaign The convention will have the close attention of the party and its work will be to start the forward march toward victory for the administration which Is uphoding the welfare of the people at home and advancing the banner of the nation in foreign

COMPLIMENT s TO R. p. SCHWERIN

n R. P. Schwerin is general manager of the / \ Pacific Mail, and thus becomes semp public character; he never neglects opportunity to make himself obnoxious, necessity arises for call ing him down from the lofty perch upon which he has ensconsed himself and making him understand that he is of the earth earthly Schwerin is trihing obstacle in the progress of anything which has ten dency to but like the gnat in the eye, or the fly in the ointment he may be annoying.
 The Schwerin grievance seems to be that fault has been found with his company because the City Of Pekng, a ship under its control, sent to sea laden with the brave boys of the First California and that absolutely provision had been made for their comfort, although the company which Schwerin ably represents being paid by the Government for having done this He regards the soldiers volunteers going to the aid of Dewey, as man with ordinary instincts might regard lot of cattle. The Call ob jected, and Schwerin the mighty, Schwerin the preme Schwern the sef-satsed decreed in his bogus wisdom that representative Of this paper should be allowed on dock controlled by him. In addition to his other attributes hereinbefore mentioned Schwerin seems to be jay Does he think his feeble efforts will keep the news from being printed? Can 1t be that idea has percoated his dull intelligence that a swaggering ass IS thing to be feared?
 Schwerin is mistake. This conclusion reached when he permitted the Colima to go to sea with deck load which carried her to the bottom. On that occasion also 1t is remembered that he acquired dis like for reporters and ordered that they be kept from the dock. Nevertheless the story of the Colima told. Nevertheless shall the story of the Picking be told Schwerin merely over-estimates himself He thinks to awe people, and makes them tired Once this man in the navy He left 1t and the navy joced All who had associated with him glad to be rid of him. He had manifested the inclination of
 yrant without the ability carry out his purposes. A place with the Pacific Mail gave him power which he has abused A natural bully, without heart or conscience he wnces under exposure and tries to wreak pitul vengeance by excluding from the dock those who have assisted in showing the of man he is Schwerin should resign. His field is on hatboat. Among gentlemen and officers he has no place
