The May number of this superb monthly came to hand few days ago, and we received the other numbers for this year, all in bunch, short time before. The Aldine has assumed to be the leader and standard of typo graphical art in America, and it we'll maintains that position. It would be hard to surpass its illustrations of last year. This year, they are equally good, and its literary department is greatly improved. It is now under the editorial charge of R. H. Stod- dard; himself a graceful writer, and critic of fine taste and judgement :; and is contributed to, by we'll known writers, remarkable for the ripe lus- ciousness and fine artistic finish of their productions.

We inadvertently neglected to mem
ton, last week, that the mongrels Of this
Congressional District had nominated j.
X. Luttrell, of Siskiyou county, as the
bloody-chasm candidate for Congress.
Our only apology for the omission is the
fact that it is of so little signifinance in
its effect upon the campaign that it en-
tirely escaped our memory. Mr.. Luttrell
is very pleasant gentleman who achieved
a notoriety, in the last Legislature, as
garrulous opponent of everything not
originating with himself or some of his
political friends, and is more noted for
the quantity than the quality Of his ora
torical efforts-tor verbosity in utterance
than profundity of thought; and although
he is put forward as the especial enemy
of railroad monopolies and the opponent
of subsidies, his record on that subject is
neither clear nor consistent. 1t is said
that, in the Legislature of 1866, he
voted for the bill the lobbying of which
proved so disastrous to George G. Cor
ham in 1867, and voted also to sustain
the Governors veto thereof. In the last
Legislature he distinguished himself by
talkative opposition to subsidies of all
kinds, and at the same time introduced,
advocated and secured the passage of a
bill giving the Central Pacific the right
to build bridge across the Sacramento
river, at Tehama, without draw. We
have no fears of his beating Coghlan

can give him.-,Sotano Republican.

DECLINE IN GREELEY STOCK.


There is a manifest falling off in the
prospects of the coalition party. Now
that the lines are drawn and the Repub-
lican proselites, who are generally fence
men who go to the strong side, have
halted in the boiling movement, and be-
gun to come around to their old first
love there are scarcely handful of Re-
publicans in the Greeley camp that are
not manifest soreheads. The New York
Herald is strongly tn the interest of
Greeley, and its corps Of Democratic
correspondents uniformly t0rite up the
friends of Greeley and writc dorm the
friends of Grant, and yet the editor ad-
mits that there is really nothing against
Grant, and he is almost sure to win in
the contest. 1t also gives as the reason
why the blow and Juror that inaugurated
the the Baltimore nominees has quieted
down into absolute indifference, that the
business interests of the country have
considered the proposed change, and de-
cided that it cannot be afforded in the
present time of business prosperity. The
gold market which is the most sensitive
index of the cautiousness and fear Of a
change which row animates business
centers, has continued to vary with the
popular pulse regarding the possibility OF
Greeley's election. Shortly after the Bal
timore Convention gold ran up to 1l6
and yesterday it was down to liz. 9th
er influences may last few hours, but
the fear of Greeley's election is perma-
nent dread and hangs like an incubus
over the operations OF moneyed men.


EXCITING CRIME.


The last sensation here is the murder
of Mrs. Wheat in our neighboring city of
Baltimore. Her nephew, young man
of the name of Jesse Uppercue, who had
ingratiated himself in her good graces
and already secured most of her property
in his own right, is in prison charged
with the murder. He gave the alarm
and asserted that the house was infested
by robbers who had shot his aunt, and
that he had followed the robbers and
fired his pistol down the stairway. His
pistol was four-barrel revolver, and
was loaded when found after the firing,
excepting one barrel, with cartridges
which resemble in size that with which
the woman's life was taken. Search
was made through the house, and no
mark Of a pistol ball could be discovered.
1t seems that the deceased was weak in
body and mind and had been left from
$4,000 to 100000 and that there were
rival interests in the family as to the Sc
curing Of the money at her death, but
that young Uppercue being an attorney,
had managed to secure most of the prop.
erty and money to antagonize her other
near relatives. The case is involved in
mystery and is enhanced in interest by
the fact that within ten days the alleged
murderer was to have been married to a
Baltimore lady of high respectability.
