Alex. McClanahan, have excited considerable interest in this community during the past week. We give in our columns today a pretty full report of all the testimony given in before the Court, and by reading it a good idea can be formed in regard to the evidence upon which they were convicted. Mr. Hay has lived, in this community for several years, has always been a peaceable and quiet citizen, and he bas the sympathy of almost the entire community, An appeal has been taken in his case, and we learn that an effort The committee find that Rowe has'a judgtable consequences of the disaster which swept walked towards the door, as if to go out, Moore ment obtained by him against the Table Moun. over our city in July last, (At. the.time when tain Water Company, in Calaveras county, for . that visitation came upon'us, the property of the sum of over fourtcen thousand dollars;. our citizens was ina measure anincambered, there is also evidence that he let Wm.

Ile then stepped up towards a shoe shop, and some one came out and told him he had shot the man, Limmediately tutecd and went into the store, I saw Moore with his coat and shirt open, and thought there was blood on him, but the room was dark, and I was not certain. Le said . he was shot,and that be was a dead man. Some ! one came it Immediately and said che other will be made to obtain a pardon. The fact that he had no idea of killing Stafford when be struck him, or of even seriously hurting him, will doubtless have considerable weight with the Executive. On Saturday he was sentenced to imprisonment for one year in the Penitentiary. There is perhaps less discrepancy in the evi‘dence in Moore’s case than could have heen ex. put his pistol back, and took his hand away . from me. McClanahan then walked out, saying in front of the door. The stove is . ee rrnmcntganeeseieniitasiahitag pected. There may be room for doubt as to whioh shot was first fired, but we «pprehend that this was not a material point, as it is evident ‘that both McClanahan and Moore were raising their pistols at the same time. The weight of evidence would indicate that Moore’s pistol was first discharged, but was followed so svon after by McClanahan’s that it was difficult to tell which was first. Some fifteen persons were in the room at the time of the occurrence, but a number of them were so drunk that it was not thought advisable to take their evidence. A theory was set up by the prosecution to account for the discharge of McClanahan’s pistol without any agency of his own. It was to the effect that the ball from Moore’s pistol, in passing through the muscle of McClanahan's arm, caused a twiching of the fingers sufficient to pull off the pistol. When the fact is taken into consideration that he had not got his pistol in the range of Moore at the time it was discharged, this theory seems highly probable, though he must at the time have had his finger on the trigger, and been in the act of raising his arm. It will probably always remain a mystery as to how Moore got stabbed, He received a frightful cut in the back, which penetrated the cavity of the lungs. The prosecution set up two theories to account for this wound, One pons, be withdrawn, THe has executed a bond wee thet Biswite ctabbell bine dit: thorving picefor the payment of the money in New York, If vious, aud the other that he bad stabbed himself in order to create sympathy. Neither of these theories were sustained. In fact, when the nature of the wound was ascertained, they were seen to be improbable on their face, The only light in the room was a camphene lamp; and this was extinguished by the concussfon caused by the discharge of the pistols, Moore was eyidently stabbed by some one about: this tinie. Who it was will probably never be ascertained. Moore has generally been regarded as bad man, and it is reported that he has been connected with the gang of robbers who have tnfested this neighborhood for some months past. Whether there is any truth {n these roports we have no means of knowing. He has been living in Grass Valley for some time, and his assootations are bad. He will be sentenced to-day, The Appointmonts, We published a brief statement last week, reeeived by telegraph from Sacramento, announwing several Federal appointments for this State. It appears that nothing was known on board the steamer Orizaba in regard to these appointments, and no one can tell who started the story. . sections of the State are The report is now very generally regarded as a . the drouth. hoax, though we are inclined to believe that it . cos has alrea is in the main correct, We shall know for certain on the arrival of the mail steamer, w may be in before we go to press, Politicians, and those who are expecting positions under the governmeut, take a great interest in regard to these appointments, and have been anxiously waiting to know more about them; the people generally, care but little about the matter, If good reliable dermoerats are appointed, the party will be satisfied, Mr. Washington, who is said to have been appointed Collector, and Mr. Tilford, who is supposed to have got the Naval Office, are extensively known throughout the State, and have the confidence of the democratic purty. The other reported appointees are not s0 well known. ‘It is not expected that the appointments will satisfy every Democrat in the State, but the opposition papers will hardly be able to raise a disturbance in the party about them. The disaffected individuals will be so few, that should they even be disposed to distract the party, they will find themselves powerless, We have heard no dissatisfaction expressed tn regard to the men who are supposed to have been appointed, except by Know Nothings and Republicans, It is not expected that they will be satisfied, San Francisco Parers,—Hereafter we shall send the Democrat to such of the San Franoisco papers as will exchange with us by mail, Removar or a Parer.-The Volcano Ledger, which has heretofore been published at the town the money in the Treasury os often as once in . required and deserved immediate payment, took each month, and to publish a statement thereof} away most of the cash capital we possessed. in two daily papers.

It was not the duty of the Board to count the money in the Treasury on the condition that the Controller exhibited his The count was a distinct matter, and was designed to furnish a landmark by which it could be ascertained whether money had been improperly taken from the Treasury. The excuse offered by the Board for neglecting to com. ply with the law, is evidently « mere pretext, and only aggravates the offense, Had they done their duty the injury to the State caused by the illegal use of the money in the Treasury would in all probability have been averted. The committee recommene thatthe suit which has been commenced against Rowe, restraining him from paying the money on the July couthe injunction should be: retained his bondsmen would set up the defense that Rowe was restrained from paying the money at the suit of the State, and this would no doubt be held sufficient to discharge them. If the money is paid according to agreément in New York it will extinguish so much of the State debt, which sooner or later will have to be paid. But if it is Not paid the State can pursue her remedy on the bonds and against Rowe personally.

Our people who are in debt, now begin fully to realize the calamity of a former day. Each man is both debtor and creditor—all eager in pressing his neighbor in order to meet his own liabilities, and the result is seen in the general loss of confidence in the means of prosperity about us. But this panic is even more foolish than the falacy which led us to indulge the belief that we would restore our former well being in so short a time. The object of these reflections hastily thrown together is this, We flad some of our more reliable citizens, not really pressed by the dificulties which surround others, giving away to the discouraging aspect of the times, and talking of . g their homes here for some new, or . abandonin their older homes. The result of all this must be injurious to themselves as well as to the community, It must tend to add to the quantity of real property in the market, already surfeited by those who are actually forced to sell; besides which, this e morbid spirit of alarm, Time, patient industry will, we believe, final. ly set all things right. It isn’t in human power to do impossible things—and_ it was impoesible to have accomplished more than we have done, since the fire, We have faith and contidence in the substantial elements of wealth which surround Nevada, To day our county is second in wealth and population of all the mining counties of the State, and best of all, supplied with the means and appliances of that great pursuit, The towns and villages scattered in all sections of the county are prosperous and thriving. That the county seat of so much thrift and enterprise should fail, is beyond right reason, In conclusion, all we have to add is, that if that comet of the German Astronomers, should . on the 13th of June next, give us the cold shoulder, and not “dissolve the great globe itself and . all which it inherits,” we believe that all the ed a Resolution extending the time for the ad-.

Alex. McClanahan, have excited considerable interest in this community during the past week. We give in our columns today a pretty full report of all the testimony given in before the Court, and by reading it a good idea can be formed in regard to the evidence upon which they were convicted. Mr.. Hay has lived, in this community for several years, has always been a peaceable and quiet citizen, and he bas the sympathy of almost the entire community, An appeal has been taken in his case, and we learn that an effort The committee find that Rowe has'a judgtable consequences of the disaster which swept walked towards the door, as if to go out, Moore ment obtained by him against the Table Moun. over our city in July last, (At. the.time when tain Water Company, in Calaveras county, for . that visitation came upon'us, the property of the sum of over fourtcen thousand dollars;. our citizens was ina measure anincambered, there is also evidence that he let Wm.

Ile then stepped up towards a shoe shop, and some one came out and told him he had shot the man, Limmediately tutecd and went into the store, I saw Moore with his coat and shirt open, and thought there was blood on him, but the room was dark, and I was not certain. Le said . he was shot,and that be was a dead man. Some ! one came it Immediately and said che other will be made to obtain a pardon. The fact that he had no idea of killing Stafford when be struck him, or of even seriously hurting him, will doubtless have considerable weight with the Executive. On Saturday he was sentenced to imprisonment for one year in the Penitentiary. There is perhaps less discrepancy in the evi‘dence in Moore’s case than could have heen ex. put his pistol back, and took his hand away . from me. McClanahan then walked out, saying in front of the door.. The stove is . ee rrnmcntganeeseieniitasiahitag pected. There may be room for doubt as to whioh shot was first fired, but we «pprehend that this was not a material point, as it is evident ‘that both McClanahan and Moore were raising their pistols at the same time. The weight of evidence would indicate that Moore’s pistol was first discharged, but was followed so svon after by McClanahan’s that it was difficult to tell which was first. Some fifteen persons were in the room at the time of the occurrence, but a number of them were so drunk that it was not thought advisable to take their evidence. A theory was set up by the prosecution to account for the discharge of McClanahan’s pistol without any agency of his own. It was to the effect that the ball from Moore’s pistol, in passing through the muscle of McClanahan's arm, caused a twiching of the fingers sufficient to pull off the pistol. When the fact is taken into consideration that he had not got his pistol in the range of Moore at the time it was discharged, this theory seems highly probable, though he must at the time have had his finger on the trigger, and been in the act of raising his arm. It will probably always remain a mystery as to how Moore got stabbed, He received a frightful cut in the back, which penetrated the cavity of the lungs. The prosecution set up two theories to account for this wound, One pons, be withdrawn, THe has executed a bond wee thet Biswite ctabbell bine dit: thorving picefor the payment of the money in New York, If vious, aud the other that he bad stabbed himself in order to create sympathy. Neither of these theories were sustained. In fact, when the nature of the wound was ascertained, they were seen to be improbable on their face, The only light in the room was a camphene lamp; and this was extinguished by the concussfon caused by the discharge of the pistols, Moore was eyidently stabbed by some one about: this tinie. Who it was will probably never be ascertained. Moore has generally been regarded as bad man, and it is reported that he has been connected with the gang of robbers who have tnfested this neighborhood for some months past. Whether there is any truth {n these roports we have no means of knowing. He has been living in Grass Valley for some time, and his assootations are bad. He will be sentenced to-day, The Appointmonts, We published a brief statement last week, reeeived by telegraph from Sacramento, announwing several Federal appointments for this State. It appears that nothing was known on board the steamer Orizaba in regard to these appointments, and no one can tell who started the story. . sections of the State are The report is now very generally regarded as a . the drouth. hoax, though we are inclined to believe that it . cos has alrea is in the main correct, We shall know for certain on the arrival of the mail steamer, w may be in before we go to press, Politicians, and those who are expecting positions under the governmeut, take a great interest in regard to these appointments, and have been anxiously waiting to know more about them; the people generally, care but little about the matter, If good reliable dermoerats are appointed, the party will be satisfied, Mr. Washington, who is said to have been appointed Collector, and Mr. Tilford, who is supposed to have got the Naval Office, are extensively known throughout the State, and have the confidence of the democratic purty. The other reported appointees are not s0 well known. ‘It is not expected that the appointments will satisfy every Democrat in the State, but the opposition papers will hardly be able to raise a disturbance in the party about them. The disaffected individuals will be so few, that should they even be disposed to distract the party, they will find themselves powerless, We have heard no dissatisfaction expressed tn regard to the men who are supposed to have been appointed, except by Know Nothings and Republicans, It is not expected that they will be satisfied, San Francisco Parers,—Hereafter we shall send the Democrat to such of the San Franoisco papers as will exchange with us by mail, Removar or a Parer.-The Volcano Ledger, which has heretofore been published at the town the money in the Treasury os often as once in . required and deserved immediate payment, took each month, and to publish a statement thereof} away most of the cash capital we possessed. in two daily papers.

It was not the duty of the Board to count the money in the Treasury on the condition that the Controller exhibited his The count was a distinct matter, and was designed to furnish a landmark by which it could be ascertained whether money had been improperly taken from the Treasury. The excuse offered by the Board for neglecting to com. ply with the law, is evidently « mere pretext, and only aggravates the offense, Had they done their duty the injury to the State caused by the illegal use of the money in the Treasury would in all probability have been averted. The committee recommene thatthe suit which has been commenced against Rowe, restraining him from paying the money on the July couthe injunction should be: retained his bondsmen would set up the defense that Rowe was restrained from paying the money at the suit of the State, and this would no doubt be held sufficient to discharge them. If the money is paid according to agreément in New York it will extinguish so much of the State debt, which sooner or later will have to be paid. But if it is Not paid the State can pursue her remedy on the bonds and against Rowe personally.

Our people who are in debt, now begin fully to realize the calamity of a former day. Each man is both debtor and creditor—all eager in pressing his neighbor in order to meet his own liabilities, and the result is seen in the general loss of confidence in the means of prosperity about us. But this panic is even more foolish than the falacy which led us to indulge the belief that we would restore our former well being in so short a time. The object of these reflections hastily thrown together is this, We flad some of our more reliable citizens, not really pressed by the dificulties which surround others, giving away to the discouraging aspect of the times, and talking of . g their homes here for some new, or . abandonin their older homes. The result of all this must be injurious to themselves as well as to the community, It must tend to add to the quantity of real property in the market, already surfeited

by those who are actually forced to sell; besides which, this e morbid spirit of alarm, Time, patient industry will, we believe, final. ly set all things right. It isn’t in human power to do impossible things—and_ it was impoesible to have accomplished more than we have done, since the fire, We have faith and contidence in the substantial elements of wealth which surround Nevada, To day our county is second in wealth and population of all the mining counties of the State, and best of all, supplied with the means and appliances of that great pursuit, The towns and villages scattered in all sections of the county are prosperous and thriving. That the county seat of so much thrift and enterprise should fail, is beyond right reason, In conclusion, all we have to add is, that if that comet of the German Astronomers, should . on the 13th of June next, give us the cold shoulder, and not “dissolve the great globe itself and . all which it inherits,” we believe that all the ed a Resolution extending the time for the ad-.
