A CowARDLY AND BRUTAL ATTEMPT
AT MURDER.-We give the particulars
of one of the most eowardly attempts at
murder for the purpose, undoubtedly, OF
robbery, which has come under our notice
for long time. Henry Voge and Louis
Kopp, both Germans, were working at
Gerke's Ranch on Deer Creek, near Te-
hama, and had each earned about $40.
kopp then represented to Voge that he
had claim and cabin up in this county
where he could make good wages, and
invited Voge to come up and go into part
ncrship with him. The offer was accepted
and they took the train to Redding, from
which point they started across the noun
tains to this county on foot. They reached
John Arms place on Monday in the after
noon-Arn suggested to them that they
had better stay over night, but upon Kopp
representing that they were only few
miles from his cabin and that they had
better keep on to it that night, they started
on again. They reached Arms old place
on Rush Creek, when Kopp told Vogc
that there was the cabin, and they went
into one of the houses. In the morning
when Voge awoke, Kopp was out of
doors when he he came in Vogc asked
him if he was coming to bed again, to
which he answered that he was not, that
he was not well and would stay up. Voge
then drew the blankets around him and
went to sleep again. He was aroused by
what seemed to him like pistol shot, but
was probably a blow from a billet of
wood. lie sprang to his feet, when Kopp
continued striking him on the head and
legs and feet, trying to cripple him so he
could not get away. Nogc told him not
TO kill him; to take his money and CO.
but Kopp said q he must go on," mean
ing probably that he must kill him now
that he had commenced. In the struggle
they became little separated, when
Vogc dartcd out of the open door and ran
like n deer down the creek. He was fol-
lowed by Kopp for some distance but the
latter finally gave up the chase, and Voge
reached Woods ranch AZ miles below,
nearly exhausted. He had no clothing
on but shirt when he reached there.
The Messrs, Wood supplied him with
clothes, htched up n team and brought
him to town, where he is being treated
by DR.. Montague. He has four scalp
wounds and his feet and legs are badly
bruised. When the team reached the
old Arm place, Wood went into the house
and found bundle of clothing, etc, be
longing to Vogc, but his money, watch
and revolver had been carried oil.


Kopp is described 20 US rs n middle
sized man, light hair inclined to be curly
blue eyes, and a scar over one eye, and
was dressed in dark or black cothes.-
Deputy Sheriff Philbrook is in pursuit of
him and it is devoutly to be hoped that
he will be caught and made to pay the
penalty Of his cowardly attempt. He
has worked in this county before and is
we'll known to several of our citizens. -
Ills victim is but boy in years, and
fears are entertained that bis injuries
may be more serious than was at first
supposed.

THE Big FLUME.-The company have
met with an unexpected obstacle in their
work OF extending up the the creek, and
will have to proceed more slowly for a
time. The bed Of the creek takes sud-
den short turn to the left and the bluff
bedrock Of the right bank rises to n
height Of eight or nine feet. AS the fume
cannot be turned to avoid this it will have
to be dug away to the level of the mud
sills on which the aumc boxes rest. Four
oi' five Cinnamon ana as many white
men are employed working on the ex-
tension, the ground where the new fume
Is to be laid being stripped to the bed
rock, which is washed in rockers. Only
between twenty and thirty boxes will be
put in at the head this year.

PRESIDED over by Judge Davis. Tne nrst case on
the calendar Is that OF Stokes. 1t is the general
impression that the parties win not be ready to
proceed TO trial at once but that definite day
will be set down for the trial 1t is the intention
OF the District Attorney, however, to have the
tried at the earliest possible day, and he will do
his utmost to have It tried Immediately. Stokes


lawyers it is said, talk confidently OF their ability
to secure an acquitta for their client. On the
other hand IL is alleged that the result sought TO
be achieved win be disagreement OF the
jury, and that upon this event being
accomplished motion will be made
TO admit him to ball. and then let the case gradu-
ally drop out OF the public memory. The retral Of
Mr.. William NJ Tweed Is also set down for this
term, but whether II will reacn trial or not Is
one OF those matters which, In these times OF the
''law's delays" requires extraordinary gifts OF
prophecy to forete. The cases OF Simmons and
King are also on tnis months calendar as well as
the later homicide cases OF McDerm0tt and
Broderick. These cases and that OF Stokes are the
only homicide cases now awaiting trial. 1t Is prob
able, however, that the Grand Jury, which goes in
session on Monday win at once bring In an ndict-
ment against Elite, the perpetrator OF the late
BOwery murder. 1t will then be seen that this

CHANCELLOR SALISBURY Ponder
has appointed Hon. Willard Salisbury to the
vacant Chancellorship The exalted char
acter of the Office Of Chancellor, as well as the
upright walk and chaste conversation" of
the eminent men who have filled it, have at
tached to it sanctity hardly second to the sa-
cred desk. A character without reproach is
as much demanded for it as are great legal
talents. And yet, for man who has shattered
his faculties and his frame in debauching his
seat in the Senate OF the Nation, to be taken
from Kirk brides to be seated in this the high.
est position in the gift of the Commonwealth,
was well calcu lated to produce the regret, not
to say Indignation, that has been manifested.


Mr. Salisbury is brother in law to Gov.
Ponder. Nepotism is repugnant to the public
mind, but it can be entirely overlooked when
it stands in the way of eminent personal fitness,
es was the case when ex Chancellor Bates was
appointed to Office But when it asserts itself
over every consideration of fitness and ofhcia
propriety, as in this case, it becomes repugnaD
in the extreme. 1t shows " cheek on Gov
Ponder that is entirely too tough to defer tC
or even see public sentiment, or else it has de
yeloped weakness of resolution in him tha
makes him the cat's-paw for the official greeC
of the family he serves.


Chancellor Salisbury is man of talent ant
legal ability. But that talent and ability ar
not of that superlative character, in contras
with other men Of his party and profession, a
to make the Governor ignore his disgustin
habits to get him at the head of the State ,Ju
dietary. He is not even so well qualified a
several gentlemen who were named for the ar
pointment. but who had too much self-respeC
and professional propriety to " huckster' for tn
Office. Mr.. s. is not so well qualified for tn
reason (if no other that he has been out {
the routine of his profession for many year,
When we speak of the qentlemans ability
however, and review his career of twelve yeai
in the U. S. Senate, we cannot say that it mar
ifested itself in craftsmanship. There is nc
single measure to his credit, and the onl
thing that the country will remember Of Lii
In that career is his crazy conduct He oppo.
ed the measures Of other men by long an
well worded speeches, that emptied the ha
OF listeners when there was nothing excitin
in his conduct, but he never suggested an
thing better, and never established prestig
among his associates.


We have no doubt that, as stated, Mr.. Saul
burr has promised reformation, and we hop
he may stick, but in view of his many violate
pledges of the past, We fear the ermine is


danger of being smurched. But whether it
or not we think, in view of his past cours
and the uncertainty Of the future, that it W
an insult to the bar and the bench to sele
him, and piece Of affrontery ON the part
himself and brothers to make che selection.

thought that if the civil list was suffl-
cient for the maintenance of the royal


household, b the crown ought to surrender


to the public treasury the immense pri-


vate property now held by it. He held


that If her private property be retained


by the queen, there can be no necessity


for the application provided for in


this bill. He stated that the whole man
agement of the civil list naturally gives


rise to numerous grave suspicious on the


part of the public, by reason of the Sc
cresy with which ii is invested. He also
said the people of Great Britain were
not interested in the proposed marriage
Of the duke of Edinburgh, and besides
that, the latter receives an ample allow
ance, wrung as it is from reluctant
and indignant people. George Ander-
son, member for Glasgow, seconded the
motion to postpone; he declared that
the proposal contained in the bill was
disSraceful. Edward P. Bouverie, men,
her for Kilwarnock, and John Sidney
North, member for Oxfordshire, spoke
in opposition to the postpOnement of the
bill. Gladstone regretted the tone of the
discussion which had taken place; he
denied that the government had main
tanned any seeresy touching the manage
ment of the crown property, and the
civil-list, he said, was never intended
to provide for the portioning of royal
children. Parliament must either adopt
the course Is at present proposed and
pursued with regard to those of royal
children already married, or provide for
an increased civil list. He upheld the
proposition contained in the bill as it
gave to parliament the control of the
conduct Of the crown and of the royal
family. A motion to postpone was lost,
and the bill passed second reading by a
vote Of 1872 ayes, Is nays.

CINCINNATI, July 3l.-This morn


ing's Commercial comments editOrially


on the proceedings of the convention


held at Columbus yesterday, as follows:


"a chapter of political history of i'm


portance to the nation was made at CO.


lumbus yesterday. Fair and full express


sion was given the profound public dis


satisfaction with the Republican as the


administration party, and with the DEM


OcrRtic party as the opposition. A third
party was in good faith put in the field.
The stroke of business done was of the
most serious character. A platform,
containing great deal that was excel
lent, was adopted; ticket that is strong


was nominated; no negotiations were


carried on; the trading politicians were
left out in the cold"


The Enquirer editorially says: TO
sum up, the new party which comes to
rs with flourish of trumpets, is but
weak and puny affair. The meagre
convention, the indifference with
which its action is received, and the
character and antecedents of its partici-
pants, all go to prove that the Oft-re-
peAted declaration that there was great
popular demand for new party was but
a delusion and a snare. 1t is not peO-
pies movement, and it will never be-
come peoples party. The managers,
through their platform, propose nothing
that cannot be obtained through the re-
liberalized and mOdernized
Democratic party. We look upon this
now as but an insurrection
among the quartermasters and contract
ors Of the Democratic party. Their
efforts will be mainly directed against
that organization, but it will rise supe-
rior to their assaults. 1t is understood that
the founders Of the new party ask no
hliation or corporation with the Demo-
cratic party. Let us see to it, then, that
they do not receive any. The Democra-
cy on the sixth Of August can nominate
a good ticket and adopt a platform
which will be indOrsed by every true re-
former in the State. With our consent
the ticket nominated on that day
will contain the name Of no man nOmi-
mated at Columbus yesterday. We coun-
selled and labOred for harmony and
peace between men claiming to labor for
A common cause, but the leaders of the
new party have tasted of the insane
-Oot, and they have declared war upon
he Democratic organization. 1t is not
'eady to surrender to a handful of pOliti-
al adventures, and it will assert itself
lpon the sixth after the old manner, and
,lOthe itself with new glory"

Boston, July 31.-At half-past three
this afternoon a fire broke out in a build
ing Of the National dock and warehouse
company, on Lewis street, East Boston,
which was entirely consumed with its
contents. 1t was large brick building,
two hundred and fifty feet long by fifty
wide, and was used entirely for storage
purposes; it was also a bonded ware
house. The second story and attic were
filled with consignments Of jute, hemp
and gunny-clOth and gunny-bags. The
ground-fOOr and basement were nearly
filled with large amount Of sugar and
saltpetre, all the property of large
number of owners here and in New
York. The building was owned by the
National dock and warehouse company,
and valued at seventy-five thousand
dollars, and fully insured. 1t is esti-
mated there were four hundred thousand
dollars worth of property stored in the
building. The loss will be three hun
dred thousand dollars. The insurance
cannot now be ascertained. The fire
