On Sunday evening a disturbance took
place at the lower end of town, between a
drunken Indian, known as Coke, and a par
ty of Cinnamon. 1t was caused by the Indian
making raid into the cabin of the China
men, and attempting to carry off some cook
ing utensils. The Cinnamon not approving
of such an unceremonious appropriation of
their property, pitched in and gave the Indian
aseund thrashing. Hearing of the fate of
Coke, yalorous Cherokee, known as Hun
ter Eagle, started out to assist his friend,
and while skirmishing around for that pur
pose, Celestial threw stone at him, but
the missile missed its mark. This action of
the Celestial SO incensed the warlike Hunter
Eagle that he resolved to go on the war path
and avenge the insult offered him. At this
point one Thomas Hall, fiery untamed
youth of African descent, brought Eagle a
revolver. Two Cinnamon happening to pass
along at that moment, boy named Peter
Hall, brother of Thomas, pointed them out to
Eagle, with the remark that one of them was
the individual who threw the stone at him.
With this assurance the Cherokee took aim
and. lazed away, the ball striking one of
the China min the arm and shattering the
bone just below the shoulder joint, The
authorities took Hunter Eagle and Thomas
Hal in charge, and committed them to Jail
on the charge of assault with intent to com.
NIT murder.


The parties came up for examination be-
fore Justice Knox on Tuesday, when Eagle,
by advice of his counsel, waived examination,
and was committed to Jail in default of $2500
bail. The examination of Thomas Hall
then commenced but was brought to a sud
den close by the withdrawal of the complaint
on which the action was based, by the per-
son preferring the same, he stating that he
had made no charges whatever against Hall.
With this declaration the bases for action
fell to the ground, and he was released from
custody.


The District Attorney Immediately went to
work and wrote out and filed a new complaint
against Hall, but in the meantime the ac-
cused had disappeared and the officers were
unable to find him until the following day,
wheh he came in and surrendered himself
His case came up before the Justice on We'd
nesday evening, and an examination was
had, which resulted in his discharge from
custody.


Thus ended another of those brOils origin
ated by the worthless Indian vagabonds who
appear to make this place their headquar
ters. The presence of such characters is
standing disgrace to Shasta, and the indi-
yiduals who sell them liquor should be fer
reted out and FURNISHED to the full extent of
the law. The expense to which the county
has Been subjected iii the last few months
by the vagabond Diggers who harbor around
this town, amounts to several thousand dol
lars, and the end is not vet We think it
about time that some measures should be
taken to relieve the town of some of its &C.
cumulated trash.

THE Mammoth steam quartz mill, the most
complete and costly mill in this county, has
certainly proved an Improbable piece of
property for its owners. The mill was first
located near the main Mammoth lode, at
Old Diggings, but the rock failed to pay, and
the establishment was removed to the Harri-
son ledge, near Quartz Hill. Several runs
were made on rock taken from this ledge, but
the company came out in debt at the end of
each run, and the mill was stopped. We
understand the company have authorized the
Trustees to sell the mill for sum sufficient
to pay the company Indebtedness. Parties
wishing good bargain, in the way of first
class quartz mill, would do well to come this

Every laboring man in this coun-
try is taxed. How? Why, upon
every spool Of thread, every yard of
muslin, silk, calico, and every other
article Of clothing, every pair Of
shoes, every pair Of boots, every

every pound of coffee, every pound
of sugar, every pound Of salt, and
every thing that is necessary 10

every bottle or phial Of medicine,
and everything else, is a revenue
tax, which tax is paid by the farm
er, those who work day after day
in the hot sun, the mechanic, the
poor girls who have to work for

other consumers. Those persona
pay taxes on everything eaten and

DISCOVERY IN NTELEGRAPHY.-An new
discovery in telegraphy is thus heralded i:
"The discovery does away with all the
jars and fluids heretofore used in tele-
graph offices, and current of electricity
sufficiently strong for all purposes is
drawn from mother earth by means of
one sheet of copper and one sheet of zinc,
which are buried to the depth of two feet,
and having four feet of earth between
them TO the copper plate wires are at
tached, and the current is inexhaustible.
Every message sent is recorded by an in-
strument which receives its power from
the buried battery, aud which consists of
nothing but one sheet of copper and one
of zinc. The inventors have applied FOR
a patent, aud it is hoped that their
prayer will be speedily answered, as this
discovery Of theirs is destined to work a
most wonderful change in the art of tel
egraphing.. This invention will save
thousands of dollars to the telegraph com
panies, and is destined to become uni
versally adopted on account OF its cheap
ness and durability.

The Blue Mountain Times learns that
good placer diggings have recently been
discovered on fork of Canyon Greek,
thirteen miles from Canyon City. Two
new discoveries have also been made in
Baker county, not far from Auburn,
which will undoubtedly become good
camps in the spring. The absence of
Indians and the dry season has been the
means of developing good deal of rich
country in Grant and Baker counties.

Auction sales afford criterion of the value OF
horses The purchaser is entirely at the mercy
OF the auctioneer who can give just such pedigree
fancy, and some of them are laughable enough.
Horses are subject to so many diseases and pecu-
iiarlCies that no man should purchase one az any
time without first consulting the judgment OF first
class veterinarian. Throughout Europe 1t Is the
custom to hold fairs for the sale and purchase of
horses, and 1t might be well to adopt the same
feature at our autumnal agricultural exhibitions
These fairs are always attended by veterinary sur
geons whose services are to be had for reasonable
compensation and afford adequate protection to the
inexperienced purchaser. 1t would be an excellent
thing to introduce this system Of veterinary nspec
tion into our horse auction marts and sales stables

spectOrs appointed by the city to attend TO this
business the same they have for other purposes,
such as the weighing OF hay, flour, &C., as 1t would
pay revenue to the city and protect the purchasers
from fraud at the same time?

do) County Ticket, aud then united

one Representative jointly with Stark
County; but the last Legislature re-
eognizing our increased population
largely increased our representation
in the Legislature. As st. Joseph
has the joint Senator we thought that
there would be no question in regard
to giving Marshall the joint Repre-
sentative; but we learn that there
are candidates in st. Josepa County
for the nomination. We think, how
ever, that the Republicans of st. 10.
will recognize the necessity of nom
mating some good man from Mar
shall for joint Representative, in or
der to strengthen the Republican
ticket in this strong Democratic
county, for we believe that it is not
only necessary for Marshall to have
Representative, but that she is justly
entitled to the same. We have no
fears, however, but what St. Joseph
county will do what is right; and
that after the nomination she will
give at least Eight Hundred Repub-
lican majority for whoever is nomin-
ated to fill the position.

AS the time for the holding of til e


Democratic Convention, in New
York, draws near, the war between
the peace. and war Democrats be-
comes more fierce. The eastern war
Democrats are uniting, and present
ing a bold front for Chase for the
Presidency; while the Western peace
men are equally loud in claiming the
nomination for Pendleton. The in
dications now are that the New
York Convention will be very SINH
lar to the Charleston Convention. 1t
is true that the love OF Office will
make the rank and file support al
most any man that may be nomina-
ted, but never will the war Democra-
cy of the East give warm support
to Pendleton and his reputation the
ories. They we'll know that, should
Pendleton's financial schemes be car
ried out, the entire country would
be involved in one general bankrupt
cy, which would bring ruin on both
the poor and the rich.

SHALL County REPUBLICAN one of the
best papers in Northern Indiana;
and while we shall ever devote part
of our columns to General News,

Great Principles of the Republican

welfare and prosperity of our coun-

We shall do all in our power to re-
deem Marshall from the Democratic

time since, exhorted bis friends TO sub
scribe Tor the Jacksonian. telling them that
they must read more; that unless they did
they must inevitably sooner or later sue

COMMUNICATIVE Republicans. He told

Preachers were against them. the day
Schools and the Sunday Schools were
against them, and that il was a matter of
absolute necessity for them to 90 10 read

The admission is very frank one vet
just as true as can be, and does il not argue
that there is something wrong with party
which has arrayed against it the intelli-
gences, Churches, Preachers and Schools

ignorance combined must keepit in exis-

EATING PoRK.-The Jews were
forbidden the use of swine's flesh. /
have thought sometimes it was a need
less injunction, for the very sight
of the animal is enough to disgust
the most inveterato meat-eater. Our
best physicians and Psychologists,
too, agree that trichina, scrofula,
erysirelas, putrid sore throat, and a
thousand other ills that flesh is heir
to, arc crgendered by the use of
pork. There is no good reason why
farmers, who ought to live on the
best the land produces, should eat
so much salt pork-the most expcn-
sive Of all meats. The same amonnt
of food given to young calves or
sheep, or even poultry, would, in
my estimation, yield a greater
amount of healthier and more pala-
table food than if fed to swine. If
few farmers in each neighborhood,
during the summer months, would
club together and fatten and kill in
rotation small animals, making an
equal distribution of the meat, we
farmers wives would not be obliged
to resort SO often to the pork barrel.
There would he no difficulty in
keeping meat any length of time

"A correspondent wishes to know
whether, in case Grant shall be elected
president, he can constitutionally retain
the Office OF general.


The constitution is silent upon this
precise point; lut to ho!d the two posi-
tions at the same time would be contrary
to the spirit Of that instrument. In the
clause forbidding members of congress
from holding, at the same time, any civil
Office under authority of the United
States. aud which torbids any person who
holds any federal Office from becoming n
member of congress, the spirit of the con-
stitution is shown as being hostile to the
holding Of two federal Offices at the same
time.


1t is also provided that the president
shall receive for his services a coTpcnsa-
tiOn, and ale shall not receive within
that period any other emolument from the
United States, or. any of them" Here
again is an indirect expression by the
constitution that man cannot at once be
general and president.


The office Of president is superior to
that of general. 1t is nowhere seen in
the system of promotion, in this or any
other country, that man is raised from
lower to higher Office without leaving a
vacancy in the former. The captain who
is mado major is no longer a. captain
but there is vacancy which is left by his
promotion.


La fine, it is contrary to the spirit of
the constitution, and, therefore, unconsti-
tutional, that man should occupy at
once the Offices of president and general.

No HOPE FROM CONGRESS FOR OUR SHIP
PING INTERESTS. bill to promote the ship
ping interests of the country was before the
House of Representatives yesterday, and after
long debate was laid upon the table by the
decisive vote of eighty-two to forty-fve. This
indicates that one of the most important
branches of our commerce need expect no re-
lief from Congress. We have repeatedly urged
legislation upon this subject, but we fear that
nothing will be done until the people elect
national legislature that will pay attention to the
commercial and agricultural prosperity of the
country instead Of devoting its entire time to
the work of retaining a particular party in
power. The shipping interests Of the United
States have suffered fearfully, and are still
suffering, but our Congress is too busily en-
gagged in the work of forcing the people to sub
nit to military despotism to legislate with
view to their recovery.

PHrLADELPHIA WAKING UP.-The democrats
and republican conservatives Of Philadelphia
are actively at work in behalf of the nomina-
ton of Chief Justice Chase by the Democratic
National Convention. The radicals of Phila-

among the very first Of the party to set up
General Grant as the only man who could save
them from shipwreck. So now the opposition
forces of the same city are among the fore
most in recognizing their man for the crisis.
Philadelphia is rather slow in many things, but
on the political situation her politicians on
both sides are up to time.
