exempt from all taxes—National, State,
&
‘The. New. Government.Lomn. ..
A week ago the aggregate of $50,Sy
000,000 of the new loan had been taken.
These bonds are not yet issued, and
this--entire amount has. been taken
without resorting to any foreiga market. It shows that confidence of the
people in the stability of the Govera-. *
inent and the confidence in its pledges.
The financial managers of the Government are confident that the entire first
instalment of the new loan, amounting
to $500,000,000, will be taken by the
ist of June. An exchange gives the
following classification of the new loan,
which is divided into three classes :—
“The first consists of five per cent. bonds
to the amount of $500,000,000, payable after ten years at the pleasure of
the Government ; the second of 44 per
cent, bonds to the amount of $300,000,000, payable after fifteen years; the
third of four per cent. bonds to the
amount of $700,000,000. Principal and
interest of all the bonds will be paid
in gold ; the interest is payable quar.
terly, and the principal and interest are
municipal or local. The proceeds are
to be applied exclusively to the purchase and extinction of bonds bearing
a higher rate of interest, thereby
largely reducing the charge on the
National Debt. We are now paying
on $1,500,000 ,000 of debt, at 6 per cent.,
$99,000,000 annually. ‘The displacing
of the 6 per cent. five-twenty bonds
with the new 5,4} and 4 per centée.
will reduce this item to. $65,500,000—a
saving of $23,500,000.” The new
bonds are made payable in coin, and
should the first installment be taken
by June, the next fiscal year will be
entered upon with a reduction of in«
terest, payable in coin, tothe amount
of $5,000,000 perannum. This amount
saved in interest, Secretary Boatwell
proposes to apply to the purchase of
the five-twenty bonds, thus making
the amount saved directly applicable
to the reduction of the princ'pal of the
debt.
This is certainly an encouraging
prospect. for the future, taken in
connection with the fact that at the
beginning of Grant's administration
the debt was increasing, that since his
inauguration, now two years, upwards
of $160,000,000 of the National Debt
has been paid, taxes have been decreased one half, and the Government has
now a surplus of $100,000,000. Sach
successful financial management was
never shown by any party, and the
Republicans may well be proud of it.
Taken in contrast with the financial
management of the city of New York,
itis one of the strongest arguments
for the continuance of the Republican
party in power.
MuRDER aT AusTIN.—About « week
ago 9tailor residing at Austin was
found dead in his heuse, with the back
of his skull’ crushed in. Just beture
his death be loaned a hundred dollars
on a watch and, had about the same
amount left, The money and watch
were missing and an examination was
held. Dr. Wixom thought the man
wag murdered, but a Dr. Laird gave
the opinion he had fatlen ina fit. A
letter received in this city yesterday
stated that this Dr. Laird had been ar
rested upon the charge of having com
mitted the murder; that the citizens
had raised a fund to prosecute the case,
and that George 8S. Hupp and Mayerbaum had been retained for the peo~
ple.

belonging to the Company. A good
substantial building is erected over the
shaft. Inside the building is the hoisting works, which was run antil recently by a steam engine of 40 horse power:
but is now worked by a large hurdygurdy wheel of 17 feet diameter, under
a hydraulic pressure of of 200 feet, and
it works to a charm. A blacksmith
shop is also in this building. A threequarter inch wire rope is used for hoisting the tubs, which are very strong
and heavily ironed,’holding about 1000
pounds of dirt. The track on top is
so constructed that as the tub is hoisted
the car is ron under and the tub landed
upon it by the use of the brake. It is
then run out a distance of 50 feet and
dumped in a latge wooden tank, where
the dirt is washed by hydraalic power,
and run through a sluice of 125 feet in
length. This sluice is cleaned up every
24 hours. The debris is then dumped
from the sluice over the bank, where it
remains to decompoee,and is then again
Five men are steadily employed on the
top, day and night. The shaft is a
double one, that part through which
the work is done being 5x4 io the clear,
and 4x8 through which ‘she Pome. does
its hever failing duty.—
Descending the shaft, a aisiniven of
200 feet, you Jand on a car track, running north and south. At each end
men are drifting, ata distance of about
200 feet from the foot of the shaft. At
a distance of ten or twelve feet
from 'the bottom of the shaft, in an
easterly direction is the principal place
of operations, which originally consisted of a-number of drifts, but are
now all broken through into one main
breast of about 100 feet in length and
Sfeet high. The width of the breast
appears to be about the width of the
bottom of the channel, and every indication goes to show that it is an old
river bottom, being packed with washed blue quartz and granite boulders,
and every once in a while the men
come across pieces of burnt and petris
fied wood. Good and very substantial
timbers are being put in, and all the
large rock are retained below and built
up behind the workmen. There are
several drifts alsv being run ‘n a northeast and southwest direction. ‘The entire works appear to be conducted in a
masterly manner and in every way
creditable te the energetic Superintendent, Gen. Dobbie and the underground
Foreman, Mr. Earl. There are about
25 men employed on this one piece of
work, night aud day, with the following result :

AMERICAN smokers are not treated
with so much leniency in England as at
home; in proof of which may be cited
the case of a certain Mr, Page, an
American barrister, ‘Tesiding at Nottinghill, Ue was arrested for smoking
upon the platform of the Nottinghill
Gate railway station, The accused
pleaded his cause to the best of his
ability, averring that he knew the
rules of the company, and, like a prudent man, did not smoke, but. only
carried a “dead” cigar in his mouth
. His prudence, however, was. not. sufficient, Somebody had seen fire and
smoke in the Vicinity of his mouth, and
he was fined forty shillings and custs

Mr. Boody was a native of Vermont,
but had been a resident of both the
States of New York and Obio. In 1850
or 1851 he came to this State, and for
the last eighteen years has been a resident of this county, and a greater part
of that time lived in Eureka ory
Daring his long residence among us’
his untiring energy, industry, integrity
and honor, he won for himself a host
of friends, and died without leaving a
single enemy. Mr. Boody was an acs
tive and bright Mason, and at the time
of his death he was both Past, and
88, F. & A. M., and although the weather was eXtremely inclement, he was
followed to his last resting place by ail
the members of the mystic tie in the
vicinity of Moore’s Flat, and a large
delegation from Forest City Lodge, in
Sierra county. Had the weather not
been 0 unfavorable, his funeral would
have been the largest that has ever
taken-place-in-thie-vicinity..In sending you this brief notice, Ido not un.
dertake to write a eulogy for him, but
simply to inform his friends of the fact
of his death. W.

Log ANGELES AND SAN QUENTIN.—
The Los Angeles News says that county
at the present time has “some eighty~
two representatives at San Quentin,
furnishing about ten per cent. of the
inmates of that institution, and ranking
in this respect third among the counties of the State.” This fact indicates
very decidedly. either that ° there
is a bad state of morals existing in
Los Angeles or that the law is enforced
there more faithfully than in many
other counties of the State. We have
no doubt that the last named explanas
tion is the correct one.
SeRIous ACCIDENT AT THE NoRTH
Srak Ming.—Friday evening last, says
the Grass Valley Union, William
James, a miner at the North Star
mine; was seriously hurt, A descend~
ing car ran off the track and struck }
James on the thigh, knocking him .
down. The carrun over him breaking
his left leg about three iaches above the
ankle joint, and otherwise severely
bruising him. James remained in an
insenwible® condition for nearly half an
hour before he was discovered, he’ was
then taken to his residence, and Dr.
Manson was called tothe case. The
wounds were dressed and the broken
limb was adjusted, and the woanded
man is getting along very well.
M. De FoNVIELLE, ap eminent
meteorologist, endeavors to shuw the
reason why an increased atmospheric;
pressure generally accompanies fair
weather, and a diminished pressure
wet. According to his theory, the dry
winds come from the north or northwest, and hence, traveliag from a cold
region, the a.r has a tendency to des
pressure of the atmosphere, as shown
by the rising of the barometer. On
the other hand, the winds laden with
or southwest, consequently causing a
diminished pressure, anda fall of the
barometer.
