Ho /proThe Suicide Affair.The folowing ftom.the Grass Valley Union, explains the suicide -affair spoken ofin last. Sinday’s
€ranscarpt: ‘‘On Thursday last, aot
Armistead Millenor the father OF
Mrs, Stewart died. The remains
were duly prepared. for burial, and
among other things the deceased
. was~ shaved. ~The razor used was
placed upon a shelf in the room in
which were the’rémains of Mr. Miilenor. Debbie Stewart, aged about
17 years, ; daughter -of Mrs, Stewart
and grand-daughter of the deceased,’
~~ secntedthe razor—and-concented—it‘in hér pocket. Thursday night the
girl retired. and slept. in the. same
. bed with her motlier. ‘Friday morning, a little before day, , the family .
Lwasalartned" by _ the _ discoyery~ that
Debbie hdd used the razor on her
throat, cutting a yhastly wound from
Year-to-eat, but not severing a jugular
vein. ‘Dr, McConnel.ef Smartsville
was hastily summoned und answered
promptly to ‘the call. He -dresséd’
the wound, and at last accounts the
girl was still alive; but little hopes
are entertained of her recovery,
The strangest part of the story is the
is stated>to us that Mrs. Stewart, the
+tnother,-bad—been_ receiving letters
for some time past, from & man who
is low in Utah, buf’ wlio was onces
poses that Congress shall appropriate $400,000,000 to the people of the
~ South who Jost slaves, to be divided
among the late slave holders in pro‘portion to the ‘sumber of © slaves
emancipated within: the borders of
each State, In the meantime the
money to be divided is ta, be depositod with sach'State,
. This proposition is endorsed by
the Richmond Whig and other papers of the South, and the scheme
will undoubtedly be urged in Congress, if there is a probability that it
may suceced, The Whig, in endorsjug Hunter's proposition, says:!
_ “Phe Bonthern representative who
fuils to urge the claims of our despoiled people in pfoper season, will
he recreant to his uly ahd faithless to
‘the trust reposed in him.”
This is just how if is. Trust the
legislation of the country to the old
slave owners and their sympathisers
in iniquity, and we would soon have
a debt of $400,000,000 added to the
overwhelniing debt which now hangs
like an incubus upon the necks of the
people.
The slaves were emancipated.as..a.
work of necessity as well as of merey.
The South voluntarily submitted the
question of owneship of slaves to
_ « the hazards of war, and, having lost,
it should accept the ‘result, The
South brought. upon our Government the great debt with. which it is
overwhelmed, andit should be thankful that the Government has dealt so
leviently with its people, without attempting to saddle an additional
debt.upen the. shoulders of the
North that mever did-the South an
injustice. .
There is another scheme afloat,
whichis, #0 have the General Government assume the debts of the
Southern States, amounting to many
This echeme is urged by
of the impoverished condition of the
Boathang its people, and because,as
they aayNit: will have a tendency of
untied theNorth and the South in
the bands of matrimony, and make
peace belween them.
This scheme is ‘as ‘distastful as
the other, if not more so, .The
e North,
aud by so doing pontracted debts. to
the amount of hundreds of. millions
of dollars. They lost. The North)
to win, contracted a debt of over
$300,000,000, ‘which the people are
paying cheerfully. In consequence
“ofthe Rebellion many of the States
"of the North became » heavily involved
‘iu debt, as well aa the Stateggf the
South. Now if the pe sition is
entertained for the Govertment to
assume the debta of the Southern
State, we shall insist that it shall assume also the debts of the Northern
States, and this will wake the thing
qual, This being accomplished the
neXt move will be te have-the Gov“etument assume the payment of the

Grass Valley,
We spent one day last week at
Grass Valley, looking after the interests of the Transcript. -Our business required us to make a general
tour of the town, which we did -in
‘company with our friend ©; Taylor,
who took great pains in showing us
everything worth seeing. Fro: obsefvation, we do not hesitate to say
that Grass Valley is one of the most
chafming places to be found’in ‘this
State. Its houses will compare favorably with those of any town of
equal size anywliere. Its churches
and school houses are superb, and
its-‘stores of all kinds are filled to
overflowing with the best goods to be
found in the Eastern markets. One
+anust go through the different stores
at Grags Valley'to appreciate them. :
Grass Valley has aw excellent printing offive, from which there_js issued
duily the Union newspaper. “Ita editorisa No.1 writer, albéitsometimes he shirks his duty. Perhap
we are mistaken) Tf s0, we will xe.

that t00'the: very best; its saloois—
plenty of them; its foundry ;its livery
stables; its banksand its gas works.
Also: its lawyers—good ones; its doctors—Simpson has gone; and its
preachers. Grass Valley can boast
of the best and richest mines in its
meighborhood to be found in the
world, and shecan.also boast of its
many good citizens. It sends all of
its bad ones. up he Pat Murphy
lives at Grass Valley.
Off for San Quenti
We le@rm that it is the intentiby of
Sheriff Perrin to leave for San San Quentin this morning, for the purpose of
conveying--the forger William §Marshall thither. "Tis well. . Speak-’
ing of Marshall, reminds as that another note forged by him against the
same parties and for thes:me amount,
and sold by him to a gentleman at
the Bay, is now in the hands of District Attorney Gaylord. When he
serves his time out, this last note
matter may be ventilated.

very dignified paper trily
In an article in the “Union, under
date Nox.-22d, headed “Sargent and
‘Casserly,’’ it thus speaks of Mr, Sargent: ‘The little man with the small
; ballet head desires to control all the
federal patronage of the State.” This
is dignified, very dignified, truly.
We remember the. time when the
Union was [oud motithed in support
of Mr, Sargent, That was when the
ple that, the election of Mr, Sargent
‘to the Senate would be . deleterious
to the interests of fhe‘ people. Although we have never been a warm
. supporter of Mr, Sargent, truth comsound sense in that ‘bullet head”’ of
hig thaw there is in the fcombined
heads of a owners and editors of
the Union.* We desire to see Gov.
Booth eg to the Senate, but such.
abuse of Mr. Sargent, however’ unrepular he may be now,,will not aid

Stover, one of the stage robbers,
whose case-was set for trial yesterday morning, withdrew his former
plea of not guilty, and entered a
plea of guilty. These rascais are
beginning to learn the fact that our
Judge is a tender heated man, and
that if they show the slightest repret
for their former mode of life, or disposition to reform, they will receive
a light. punishmebt. Had they a
Louderbach to deat with, they would
not get off so easy.
