_. NEVADA CITY, CAL. _. Friday, June 2, 1871. ith he ibe _ A New Reign of Terror. yer Vfhe world has been taught to.re“gard the male of Robespierre and his associates in France with horror, and _the era by common consent has been known as the “Reign of Terror,’’— Then a comparatively few royalists were execntéd for plotting against their country, and endeavoring to keep up the civil strife. But the rule of Robespierre will not conipare in ferocity with that of the present Thiers’ Government. Such wholesale slaughtering of men, women and ch‘ldren as has marked. the triumph of the Versaillists over the poor and misguded communists, France has not witnessed since the memorable St. Bartholomiew massacre, and reminds us of the atrocities of ‘The ‘ §panish Fury” at Antwerp, and the sack and destruction of Madgeburg ‘by the barbarousfhordes of Tilly.— ~~ "fhe Communist insurrection was unquestionably inopportune, and ao blunder on the prrt of those who fayored more popular rights ; but there is in this excuse for the insurgents— that they were driven to desperation by the savage orders issued to the Versailles troops to shoot them down without mercy, dnd show no quarter, These orders were issued before-any acts of vandalism had. been perpetrated. by the: insurgents; and when pect no merey, we cannot besurprised at their subsequent. course in attempting the destruction of’ the city. The. number--of-—insurgents killed is variously stated at from 25,000-to 60,000 ; and some 50,000 pris———-—pners; who-have-been-cipiu el and ‘disarmed, are-beingéxecuted as‘fast as the horrid worki-can be done by the troops detailed for the purpose. Of the condition of Paris, on the 0th ult,, acorrespondent.telographs: Paris looks completely cowed. The ~ shops areall-closed, and even those of vital necessity, such'as chemists, remiin shut. Restaurants, bakeries and grocers have also. suspended ~ business. ~ I-walked weross Paris last The Democratic Fight. The contest in the Democratic . ranks for the nomination for Govj ernor waxes warm’ as the primaries are beitig held and the day approaches for the meetingof the Convention. The sqnare, stand-up fight made by Findley in this county,and hid sw. ] ing victoryover ‘the HaightWatt influences, has brought him prominently before the Democracy, and he is now regarded as the most available ‘aspirant for combining the antiHaight vote in the Convention.— Having proved himself popular with ‘Ris ‘party in “his own county, and carried it against what appeared to be great odds, it is argued that he must possess the elements that, will make him a popyjay,atendard epee on the State ticket. One-third of the San Francisco delegates:are said to be favorable to Findley as their first choice, and all but: four or five would go for.him in preference to Haight. In some of the counties in which the-primaries have been held there are discrepancies as to how the vote has gone, which cannot be cleared up until after the Conventions are held. Haight, being the strongest candidate, is competettomike the fight against the combined opposition, and unless he has a clear majority over all others he cannot be nominated. The opposition in his own party is so determined that even his friends are beginning .t) think it will be suicidal to place him in nomination. So far, neither Johnson nor McOoppin have shown that they possessed any~ popularity with the people, and from the present outlook. the ehances are favorable that Findley will secure the nomination. INCOMPETENT AND DisHonxst RevENUZ Or¥icEns,—The Indianapolis, “Ind. Grand dury “have been * overhauling the conéuet of revenue ofticers, and made a report, in which they state that, in the course‘of the many cases investigated: and bills found for, violation of the revenue’ laws, niost have been willful and premeditated; others were through ignorance and inattention toinstrictions; others ‘from tinfaithfulness and incompetency, ‘and the’ ‘jury “feat” in: “some ci8és; 6f Collusion with subor~—~night, and néver saw anything so desolate. “I saw no human beings but ' sentinels every hundred yards, and one civilian. There were no. sounds but the. footfalls of sentinels, and these were only made when they struck their muskets on the pavement. The old revolutionary system of ‘denunciation is going on with terrible ferocity. Nador, the aeronaut, has been arrested for supposed sympathy with the Commune, Nobody is safe, even in the presence of theit most intimate friends. A rash word or imprudent gesture by man or woman, insures instant death,» Men, women, and even children, are seized by bru_tal soldliery and shot. The saddest feature is the conduct of the women, . female, insurgents having in many cases been detected in firing houses of innocent persons with petroleum. Irrigation Company,—An association has been formed in San Francisco for the purpose of constructing canals toirrigate both ‘sides of the San Joaquin Valley, north.of Tulare Take. A site has been selected for adam, at a point above Millerton, where the-bed rock -of solid: granite offers facilities for taking up all the water, and from a survey already mado, it has been ascertained that the water can be taken out at a sufiicient elévation to irrigate all the low land of the-valley. . Fatan Accrpgnr.—News has been received of a fatal accident to a tourist at Yosemite, An Italian named Campi, proprietor of a restaurant at San Francisco, while climbing over a ledge of rocks near the Bridal Vail, lost his footing and was precipitated fifty feet bélow, striking on his head and killing him instantly: He was quite a prominent man among the Italians and his death is generally deplored. VN New _Parer---We have received the first number of the Beacon, published semi-weekly at Kalama, Clark county, Washington Territory. Kalama is a new. town on, the north bank gf the Columina, atthe hend of navigation. for large. vessels, and on the proposed line of the Northern "Pacific Railroad.

The Court ordered Certified ¢opiés ofthe report to be forwarded to tle Commissioner of Internal Revenue at Washington. >. No Loncer a Counrry.—Reflective Frenchmen, in both hemispheres, recognize, with melancholy ynanimity, the abdication of their country, from a placé ‘amon’ the hatiéns.-— Says John Lemcinne, of the Debats : “The result of the divil war willbe to destroy the idea of country in the hearts where it had found a last asylum. Our fatherland no longer exists ; France has suffered shipwreck. She is placed between. the strangers who occupy her tetritory and “the strangers who sit at the Hotel de Ville ; between the guns on the right bank of the Seine, served by the Prussians, and-those of the forts on the left bank, served. by Poles, Irishmen, Scalves, and all the Bohemianism of Europe,"? In the same st ain writes the Courier des Etas Unis with reference tothe destruction of the Column Vendome: ‘The true significance of this barbarous act is accurately expressed in a single word ; the Place, Vendome wilk henceforth be called the Place Internationale,— It was French, and is no more ;just a8 Paris is ho longer’ French, and as France has ceased to be, France.— The Frenchmen have a country ro longer."

Recent legislation by Congress upon the interests of settlerg-on the [publi¢ lands, With respect to ‘offered’ Jands, ”. filing within twelve MOnths after settlement are still required : ‘ The settlers on ‘surveyed ‘ unoffered land’’ must file his or her declaratory statement within three months after the date. of his or her settlement on such land, and within thirty nonths from. the expiration of said three rages 6 the proper proof, andypay for such land. Where the setttele Have tl ‘eady filed before the passage of the act, (of' July 14, 1870,) they, are required to . make proof and payment within two years from such passage ; therefore, all filirgs made prior to that date . will expire, by limitation of law, upon unoffered lands, on the 14th of July. 1872. — The settler on “unsuryeyed land’. must file his or her deelaratory statement within three months from the date of the receipt, at the District Land Office, of the approved plat of -having cacried ‘the primarits in a . the tewnship: embracing the tract upon which he or she is settled, and, within thirty months from, the expiration of said three months, make the proper proof, and pay for such tract. , Lhe-proviso,of the Act of Inne 2d, 1862, requiring’. filing within Six . months from sitvey iti the field, and . providing for filing with the Suryeyor Genéral, is repealed. It willibe seem that those who filed . on unoffered land prior to July 14th, 1870, have till July 14th, 1872, to make proof and payment; while . these who filed on unsnrveyed land after the former date have thirty months from the expiration of three months after filing of map. Catyese Case tn Montana.—In the trial of Martel, for killing a Chinaman at Blackfoot, ‘Montana, there were sixty five jurors called before a jury couldbeimpanneled, .Thestick. ing point with most jurors—and they were of the very best and most. conseientious,citicens in the community—was that they would not believe Chinamen. under. oath,.-Finally a jury was secured. The case was conand Col. W. E, Chadwick for the prosecution, and Messrs, Clagget &. only out a few hours, and returned. a verdict of ‘not guilty,’’. The verdict issaid tobe in harmony with the general belief of those who heard the case, that it was unquestionably an act of self defense, } Hionway ' Résrery.—The™ Grass Valley Union says: Tuesday night after midnight 2 man named Stone, who resides near Massachusetts Hill, . was stopped in’ Boston Ravine, thile on his way home, by a foot pad and a cocked revolver. The foot pad snatched $40 ih ¢oin from Stone's shirt pocket, seeming to know where the money was carried. The robber had ona set of false gray whiskers. As soonas the money was sectred the robber ran rapidly away.

Dawson, Mryorrry Represenration,—One of the reforms urged in the speeches and regolutions of the recent conventiou of tax-payers in South Carolina is the adoption of the cumulative sy:t:m of voting. This would give the white minority » hearingin the State councils, which would be of vast advantage to-them, and to the Sarerrs, the Deputy Marshal of Vallejo, accused . of pocketing $70 taken from a Marysville thief whom he arrested on Thursday is in ‘the Marysville Court.

OF the delegates elected, Fifidley ttndoubtedly ‘had a majority; but Truckee and the Ridge. are rewhile the delegation from Washington, Little York and Rough and Ready’are vinderstood' tobe divided, But the Watts have not been idle since the primaries, and have no idea of dying! politically without. struggle. His ramored that quite a number of delegates elected in the . Findley interest have given their proxies to Haight men, and some go so far as to express the opinion that the delegates elected from Graves +Valley and Nevada precincts ireiLe only ones that can be relied on to stand by Findley. Should Findley loose the vote of the -.edunty, after free fight, it would cxtse much indignation among his friends, and a:tonish every one; yet stranger things haye happened in political movements. In any eventwe may expect some sharp sparring in. the Convention. Industrial Exhibition. The Highth Industrial Pxhibition of the Mechanics’ Institute will open at the Pavilion in San Francisco, oa the Sth of August next, and continue four weeks, day and evening. plication for space in the Pavilion must be made before the 15th proximo, and articles for exhibition must be in position on or before the opening day of the exhibition. An agent has been sent. by the Institute to Japan, with the purpose of inducing an exhibition of artielés from that country, which it is believed will also-have the effect of opening more extended commercial relations between .Japan and California.

No Loncer a Counrry.—Reflective Frenchmen, in both hemispheres, recognize, with melancholy ynanimity, the abdication of their country, from a placé ‘amon’ the hatiéns.-— Says John Lemcinne, of the Debats : “The result of the divil war willbe to destroy the idea of country in the hearts where it had found a last asylum. Our fatherland no longer exists ; France has suffered shipwreck. She is placed between. the strangers who occupy her tetritory and “the strangers who sit at the Hotel de Ville ; between the guns on the right bank of the Seine, served by the Prussians, and-those of the forts on the left bank, served. by Poles, Irishmen, Scalves, and all the Bohemianism of Europe,"? In the same st ain writes the Courier des Etas Unis with reference tothe destruction of the Column Vendome: ‘The true significance of this barbarous act is accurately expressed in a single word ; the Place, Vendome wilk henceforth be called the Place Internationale,— It was French, and is no more ;just a8 Paris is ho longer’ French, and as France has ceased to be, France.— The Frenchmen have a country ro longer."

Where the setttele Have tl ‘eady filed before the passage of the act, (of' July 14, 1870,) they, are required to . make proof and payment within two years from such passage ; therefore, all filirgs made prior to that date . will expire, by limitation of law, upon unoffered lands, on the 14th of July. 1872. — The settler on “unsuryeyed land’. must file his or her deelaratory statement within three months from the date of the receipt, at the District Land Office, of the approved plat of -having cacried ‘the primarits in a . the tewnship: embracing the tract upon which he or she is settled, and, within thirty months from, the expiration of said three months, make the proper proof, and pay for such tract. , Lhe-proviso,of the Act of Inne 2d, 1862, requiring’. filing within Six . months from sitvey iti the field, and . providing for filing with the Suryeyor Genéral, is repealed.

Catyese Case tn Montana.—In the trial of Martel, for killing a Chinaman at Blackfoot, ‘Montana, there were sixty five jurors called before a jury couldbeimpanneled, .Thestick. ing point with most jurors—and they were of the very best and most. conseientious,citicens in the community—was that they would not believe Chinamen. under. oath,.-Finally a jury was secured. The case was conand Col. W. E, Chadwick for the prosecution, and Messrs, Clagget &. only out a few hours, and returned. a verdict of ‘not guilty,’’. The verdict issaid tobe in harmony with the general belief of those who heard the case, that it was unquestionably an act of self defense, } Hionway ' Résrery.—The™ Grass Valley Union says: Tuesday night after midnight 2 man named Stone, who resides near Massachusetts Hill, . was stopped in’ Boston Ravine, thile on his way home, by a foot pad and a cocked revolver. The foot pad snatched $40 ih ¢oin from Stone's shirt pocket, seeming to know where the money was carried. The robber had ona set of false gray whiskers.

OF the delegates elected, Fifidley ttndoubtedly ‘had a majority; but Truckee and the Ridge. are rewhile the delegation from Washington, Little York and Rough and Ready’are vinderstood' tobe divided, But the Watts have not been idle since the primaries, and have no idea of dying! politically without. struggle. His ramored that quite a number of delegates elected in the . Findley interest have given their proxies to Haight men, and some go so far as to express the opinion that the delegates elected from Graves +Valley and Nevada precincts ireiLe only ones that can be relied on to stand by Findley. Should Findley loose the vote of the -.edunty, after free fight, it would cxtse much indignation among his friends, and a:tonish every one; yet stranger things haye happened in political movements.
