city propose to ‘‘throw up the sponge”
and adjourn sine die. The officers
have labored hard to keep_up the organization, for the relief of the poor,
but finding so little interest taken in

‘Bd. Transcript: I see by the Tranecupt_of the 16th inst. that my
friend Judge Stidger comes back at
me on the railroad question, in true

a little from the formidable breastwork that he set up inthe beginning,

implies the voting of ajd to build
such road: for I know of no other
question to submit to a vote and to
confirm this view he says the péople

The following is a copy’ of a
circular issned by the United States .
Expréss Company and ‘sent to all
‘their agents for their guidance:
“The , disease is first a catarrhal

averted, goes to the lungs, ending in
lung fever, which very often proves
fatal. It commences with a short

am free to confess that I am not prepared to take issué with him, in advocacy of subsidy, as against subscription to stock. Iam willing to
accept his version as to the distinction and difference between the two,
and then fall back upon the original
proposition: that if the people of Nevada county want railrord-communication with tide water, the.-way to
getitis to put their heads, hearts
and hands to the work, and their
shoulders to the wheel, and. build it.
If capitalists can be induced to build
it without county aid, it is well. If
‘not, then there is no time to quarrel,
as to whether we are fo aid it by private subscription, stock, or subsidy
by cities, towas or county. It is
enotigh té know that the people want
. the Toad, and Judge Stidger says they
do; and to have it is to aid it. Then
let the council be yea, nay and amen,
as to the best means by which . that
aid is to be given. And by legisla.
tive enactment, let the people have a
show to decide the matter for themselves at the ballot box. That is the
way to talkit, and I repeat, that the
legislator who has so little faith in
the honesty and intelligence of -his
constituency, as to be opposed to
submit such questions to the voters
of his county, deserves not their support. Politicians may how! till their
‘. lungs are sore, and elect Governors,
Congressmen and Legislators, but all
these will not lay a-single rail,
Judge Stidger will bear in mind
that two years ago, when all parties
were excited on the question of railroad subsidy, and in the madneas of
political strife, by common consent,
the word subsidy was made, in its
broad sense, to signify all aid to rail~ ‘Recitation, by Willie: railroads. To talk then of subscripRecitation, by Frank Cheanats _ . tion to stock by counties, was as obRecitation, by Bell Latta. “}noxionsas to give ‘subsidy. Only

The Murder of Gen, Hindman.
Lewis. Vaughu, alias Frank Burdell, charged with the murder of
Gen. Hindmifn_at‘Helena Arkansas,
‘on the night of the-27th of September, 1868, was brought before Judge
Halsey, at Memphis Tenn.,” on &
writ of hebeas corpus, Mrs, Mary
Hindman, widow of the General;
testified that the following statement
was made on the 13th instant by
Vaughn, in presence of Judge Morgan, Vaughn having arranged the
meeting in a letter, stating his ability
to reveal the whole plot for the assassination ofherhusband. Vauhgn
said the party who killed Hindman
was hired to do it by John H. Moore
and Dr. Linthincum, of Helena;
that his motive in disclosing the
fact was ‘partly from conscience, but
principally for revenge, as Dr. Linthineum had tried to poison him last
summer when he was sick; that on
the night of the assassination he and
the man who fired the shot, after
loading a double-barreled shotgun
in a blacksmith’s shop near the
General's house, went into the yard,
leaving Liathineum holding horses
ontside; they saw the General through
« window, sitting in a large rocking
chair, amoking his pipe; that his
