COUNTY & OITY OF FICIAL Sgn
_ TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1867. —
NSLS SS eee
‘A Tenrreie Accrbent.—On Saturday.
‘afternoon, about 4 o’clock, a cave. occurred.
din the hydraulic claims of Felton & Tomer
~at-Sailor Flat, beneath which—five mén
were buried. The claims are located near
‘Blue Pent, and about five miles from this
city. The banks are between one hun-dred and fifty and two hundred feet deep.
Six men were employed in the diggings,
and without any premonition a huge mass
oféarth came crashing down and _pushing thedoogened dirt. which lay»at:the bot.
‘tom, completely buried George Sutherland,
Harrisoh Armour and A. Prosper, all of
whom were instantly killed. Another
man was buried to his neck in earth, but
was not seriously injured. Mr, Tomer
was also caught and considerably injured,
but he’ managed to get to an adjoining
claim and call assistance. The bodies of
Sutherland, Armour and Prosper were
speedily uncovered. Tliey were all terribly bruised and mangled, and their deaths
‘must have been almost instantaneous.
‘George Sutherland was, we believe, a
nitive of Tennessee, and came to this
State from Arkansas. He~was 34 years
‘of age, and leaves a wife and five children,
the eldest being about nine years. He has
resided in this county for many years.
Harrison Armour was about. twentythree years of age, and has only been in.
the State about two years. He is a brother of Frank Armour who: has resided in
this vicinity for many years. Deceased
came to this State from Georgia.
/ (Ay Prosper was a native of France and
came to-thiscountry ~ with —-his-parents
some fourteen years ago. He was about
twenty-two years of age. :
The funeral of these unfortunate men
took place from the Congregational
‘Church, yesterday afternoon, and the bells:
-_ tolled as the processsion marched through
the town.
, A SHoorme Scrape—On Sunday
might a couple of shots were exchanged by
two colored men, named Holland and Buat‘ler, and the latter received a painful flesh
“wound. It appears that Holland and his
wife had» separated.'-On Sunday night,
Butler was escorting her home, and on
Water street, near the corner of Nevada
street, they,were approached. by. Holland
who demanded of Butler “what he was
doing.with his wife,” and immediately
fired, . The bell entered the fleshy. part of
the right leg. near. the thigh and passed
entirely through. Butlerimmediately responded with a single barreled pistol,
. which produced more noise than damage,
and running to the middle of the street,
fell. . Marshal Cornell came upon the parties at this juncture. Holland threw -his
pistol, which was a Colt’s five shooter, in‘to James Colley’s yagd. He was arrested
by the Marshal and brought before Judge
Kendall for. examination yesterday at 3
‘o'clock, ‘upon the charge of assault with
intent to commit murder.
BoaRp oF. REGISTRATION On Satutday
evening the Trustees met and appointed
Chas. ‘H. Méad, Clerk ; W. F. Haslett. and
A:G@, ‘Hasey Judges of Election, and a
Board of Registration. . This Board will
‘bein session every day this week from 10
o'clock A. M. to 5 o'clock P. mu.. On Satur4ay the session -will be continued until 8
o’dlock P.M. Citizens should remember
that.in.order to entitle them to vote for
city officers in May, they must. be enrolled
upon the poll list by the Board of Registration, Every man in the city should call
~~ atthe Marshal's office sometime during the
present week, and see that his name is
"properly enrolled, The Board of Registration will adjourn on Saturday night,

the tenure ‘of office, imposing an effectual
. check upon the abuse of Executive patronage; saya the Union, have become Iaiws.—
Nebraska has been admitted intothe Union
+ the admission of Colorado, vetoed by the
in the Hounté. ' Phe Judiciary. Committee
of tlie House has submitted a report upon
the subject of impeachment, A. J: Rogers,
a New Jersey Democrat, presenting a minority report. The report of the Committee of Conference on the Bankrupt bill:
was adopted. . The Tax bill and various
appropriation bills were still in the hands
of Conference Committees on Sunday
morning, after Congress had been in session all uight.
The veto of the Reconstruction bill was
received in the House onthe 2d. A few
Democrats attempted to delay action by
fillibustering, but, by the parliamentary
tactics of Colfax, this was checked and the
House passed the bill over the veto by 135
to 47. In the Senate the. contest was
equally short, sharp and decisive:__Reverdy Johnson, of Maryland, announced his
determination to vote for the bill and. rebuked the President for stubborn’ refusal
to yield to public opinion. Buckalew of
Pennsylvania and Garret Davis of Kentucky replied, and then the bill passed
over the veto by 38.to 10.
The bill regulating the tenure of office
removals, passed. over the. veto, without
debate in either House. The vote in the
Senate stood, ayes 35, noes 11; in the
House, ayes 181, noes 57.
The drift of thereportof the Judiciary
Committee on the subject of impeachnient
is not-stated-in-the dispatches. We can.
only infer from the fact that Rogers, the
presented a minority report that the majority arrived at conclusions displeasing to
the Democratic mind. The report was
laid on the table and ordered to be printed.
This is sufficient to indicate that no action
will be taken upon it by the Thirty-ninth
Congress, but the documents will be
thrown open to the press immediately. ~

StTaTE Prison Statistics.—Lieut-Gov,
. Machin towhomthe management of our
State Penitentiary affairs is entrusted says
there are now 700 convicts incarcerated
within the walls.of the prison at San Quentin. Of these but three are females. It
may be regarded by some’ as a somewhat
singular fact thatthe Mexicans and Na-'
tive Californians who aré inmates of the
penitentiary receive moré attentions and
kindness from their relatives and friends
than do the convicts of any other national. .
ity. Presents, letters, etc., are continually
sent and daily inquires made for them by
those they have left behind them. The
Chinese convicts also, are duly rememberby. their. kinfolks, .while .the immates
from more enlightened countries are comparatively neglected by their own countrymen,
SACRIFICE or Two. HUNDRED MEN IN

coast of Africa, says: “The frigate Zenodie,
count Fleuriot de Langie, commanding
the French naval squadron on the Western
Coaat of Africa, has just. visited St.Paul
de Loande, the chief place of the Portuguese establishment: of the Southern
Guinea. The Admiral was well received
by.the governor and: the authorities of the
country. He reports that French commerce has been sensible ‘increased at this
point during the last three years, ‘ On leay
