The Judge himself was under a peculiar kind of espionage. ObligedJ _ to be reticent and unsocial with each party, each thought him favorable to ‘the other. When he ‘went to walk “for exercise he was followed by spies. The Court-house was.for may days surrounded by men hired by both parties to watch the officers and jury, : lest each should be improperly approached. All this must have been trying enough. “The telegraph has informed us that the verdict, when finally rendered on the Ist inst., was followed by # series of small hostili: ties amoug the excited people of . Pioche. . The jury must have experienced a keen sense of relief when the strain was over. The case, however, is yet undetermined.

The Kentack and Pioghe Phoenix cases will (eome on for trial, and. are hardly second in importance to the Raymond & Ely vs. Hermes, Pioche is just pow the great seat of Nevada litigations. The vultures hover ~— the prey is. The Mamzanita Explosion. The Scientific Press, speaking of the recent explosion in the tunnel at hour after the discharge of the biast, when Belt, Anderson and Wolf went in with # lighted candle, says: From the fact that no explosion took place -immediately after the firing of the ‘shot, we trust infer that the shot ~ liberated, from some chamber in the gravel, a sufficient quantity of carburretted hydrogen to produce an explogion when the flame of the candie was introduced. No explosive gases could have been generated froth the burning of either the powder or gun cotton employed in the blast.

General Sherman said to-day he thought no further attempts would be made on the part of the military to dislodge the Modocs until reinforcements arrived, and General Davis has become {4 muliar with the surroundings of the country. The advisability of having the Governor of Oregon enlist a number of scouts and frontiersmen to fight the Modocs in their own way will be discussed by the members of the Cabinet a8soon ay possible. At . least two members favor this policy as presenting the only feasible plan of exterminating. the Indians without a fearful loss to the military. * In Bedford County, Pa., recently, & spigot worked out of a whiskey barrel during the night, and several gallons of the liquor ran out on the floor of the cellar where the barrels were stored.

The two mea Were in a two-borse ‘bogey, and) cime.towhere the wagon road was crossed by the railroad justas a train was trying to round the curvé which. { occurs in the track just at that point. The wheels of ‘the locomotive wefé slipping and jit was laboring and: puffing to pass the bend, but was not making much: progress: ‘The men thought they would have time fo-cross the track and started to do so, when the traincame plunging ahead. ‘They then feared they would not have time to cross, and turned about and attempted to drive up a -bank,—out of the way. The bank was steep and when they were part way u_ the team began backing down. They could. nct ‘be urged forward, and just as the locomotive farriage upon the track. Guarhart called out-to Winters to leap for: his life, acommand which that. gentleman_ instantly obeyed._He was. lucky enough to land out of the reach '. of danger, bot’ Garhart stuck tothe vehicle, not being in a position to make a sticcessful leap. The engine struck the buggy, scooped ‘it up.on the cow-catcher and ‘rolled it over and over until it was utterly demolished. At the first shock Garhart fell in such a way ag to strike his head upon the front end of the engine. This somewhat stunned him, but hé still had his wits about him sufficiently to struggle to keep on top of . the wreck of the buggy and the coweather all the time going for “‘shore.”’ He at last tumbled off, outside of the track and ont of the way of the wheels, the worst scared man in America,and not without reason. The only injury he sustained was a cut on the head, received when he fell against the engine. The horses were considerably injured by being drawn passing locomotive and train, but city shortly after the accident. Those who were in the vicinity at the time of the oceurence say that Garhart's eseape was the most remer ever witnessed. Lively Row. The Sacramento Union and San Francisco Chronicle are having a very. lively discussion, and so far the Chronicle has the best of the fight. The last ntimber of the Chronicle says the Union has set itself up as -dictator to the Republican party, and has taken upon itself the role of party whip. There was atime when its circulation, the ability Gisplayed in ‘ita editorial columns, and the general tone of respectability which surrounded it-gave it some consideration in the State. Its circulation has now fallen to ® merely nominal ‘figure. We are informed that it has something over a thousand daily subscribers in Sacramento and less than two hundred in San Francisco and proportionately contemptible throughout the State. The railroad connection with this city enables the taetropolitan papers to reach the interior as soon as the Sacramento papers; hence their large and increaslng circulation, The editorial Union has fallen under the directi of the inferior mind of a soured and disappointed man.

I am not asking for false mercy, or that the frontiersmen be exposed to any avoidable risk of life and property. __The Indians are what they are, 1. believe, because the white men with whom they are in contact have been what they have been.

We blame no one for his death: Now that the first shock has passe) away, we find more to rejoice in than~to mourn over. He was ready—always How any man or beast could meet the kind smile of thut face and do the old man harm ? cannot understand, In the fullness of his er, in the ripeness of his manhood, when he was living every day so near the heavenly world, and was always in near communion with the better land, God took him higher at once, painless. To few men, comparative y, is ‘it-given to die like a martyr, arid for beady Se in thus securing the past of a glorious life in the service of his shurch and his fellow men, and in securing the future for him and us, I thank you. We will pluck up ‘our hearts, and follow on ‘till God grants us the blessing of death. ~ The flurry will svon pass over. Without saying anything now™ let purpose to be just and true to these precious blood of the dead be only ralone, They died who lived for peace. Tobe sure, peace will come through war, but not by extermination. = Mother benrs it well; so do the: children. We are happy because he is ower beyond the chance of suffer‘ing.

General Sherman said to-day he thought no further attempts would be made on the part of the military to dislodge the Modocs until reinforcements arrived, and General Davis has become {4 muliar with the surroundings of the country. The advisability of having the Governor of Oregon enlist a number of scouts and frontiersmen to fight the Modocs in their own way will be discussed by the members of the Cabinet a8soon ay possible. At . least two members favor this policy as presenting the only feasible plan of exterminating. the Indians without a fearful loss to the military. * In Bedford County, Pa., recently, & spigot worked out of a whiskey barrel during the night, and several gallons of the liquor ran out on the floor of the cellar where the barrels were stored.

not have time to cross, and turned about and attempted to drive up a -bank,—out of the way. The bank was steep and when they were part way u_ the team began backing down.

Guarhart called out-to Winters to leap for: his life, acommand which that. gentleman_ instantly obeyed._He was. lucky enough to land out of the reach '. of danger, bot’ Garhart stuck tothe vehicle, not being in a position to make a sticcessful leap. The engine struck the buggy, scooped ‘it up.on the cow-catcher and ‘rolled it over and over until it was utterly demolished. At the first shock Garhart fell in such a way ag to strike his head upon the front end of the engine. This somewhat stunned him, but hé still had his wits about him sufficiently to struggle to keep on top of . the wreck of the buggy and the coweather all the time going for “‘shore.”’ He at last tumbled off, outside of the track and ont of the way of the wheels, the worst scared man in America,and not without reason. The only injury he sustained was a cut on the head, received when he fell against the engine. The horses were considerably injured by being drawn passing locomotive and train, but city shortly after the accident. Those who were in the vicinity at the time of the oceurence say that Garhart's eseape was the most remer ever witnessed. Lively Row. The Sacramento Union and San Francisco Chronicle are having a very. lively discussion, and so far the Chronicle has the best of the fight. The last ntimber of the Chronicle says the Union has set itself up as -dictator to the Republican party, and has taken upon itself the role of party whip. There was atime when its circulation, the ability Gisplayed in ‘ita editorial columns, and the general tone of respectability which surrounded it-gave it some consideration in the State. Its circulation has now fallen to ® merely nominal ‘figure. We are informed that it has something over a thousand daily subscribers in Sacramento and less than two hundred in San Francisco and proportionately contemptible throughout the State. The railroad connection with this city enables the taetropolitan papers to reach the interior as soon as the Sacramento papers; hence their large and increaslng circulation, The editorial Union has fallen under the directi of the inferior mind of a soured and disappointed man.
