fos stele 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.

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 : Product for 24 hours, $1,000 Expenses “ 200 Net profit, $800 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 Fiera Avenue, New York, is again Finvaded by the desecrating hands of trade, One of the most elegant residences is shortly to be transformed into a grocery store, GENERAL Haupt, the ex-Chief Engis neer of the Pennsylvania Railroad, says that “Pennsylvania, rich as she is, is nia.” cate ‘onas itis Net. lecteted ‘most perfect health, About a days 20 Moore's Fiat, and while there, he wap 0 . taken with a severe attack of pneumofrom. the aiaad various. buildings . nia.

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. Leg Broken. nish mine on Deer Creek, had his leg broken yesterday morning. A cave occurred and in attempting to get away from it he fell in such a manner as to break one bone of the leg. Lt is nota serious fracture. 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. Tue Kinp oF Man.—The Reporter replying to” a corresponden,, says: “The idea that *we should not desire to elect a man that will care more for his party than he does for his State and its, people,’ is all bosh.” contained bread, cakes, butter, apples. . , Ee us = sae a zs.—A correspondent Nens writin sid fi ee says: " it f snow in # a wie wale otties to see see a f 4 from all parte of the country, and no show. for.any. one.exceps.to. invest. in. mines. It is rather too soon to go prospecting: A great maby men are here broke, with nothing to do, ‘and: ‘down: on the country ; while others who have Jocations, or pretend to have,
say that this is the biggest thing ever: discovered. I have fully ceme to the conclusion that it is no place for me Il consider that] am about one month ahead of time to commence prospecting; outside of that I see nothing, and I bave not confidence sufficient to induce me to remain. IfI had lost any money in Salt Lake there would be little show to find it. I have talked with many here, and these are the views of the great majority.” A Massachusetts youth got the eredit of an intention to rob an express car on the Union Pacific Railroad by .gaining admission into it ima box, to be sent ag freight from Denver to Beaton .Theyoung . mag himeelf explains the matter by saying he had but little money, and wanted a cheap passage home. The interior of the box was fitted up comfortably. Inone end was a frame-work of twine for he head to rest upon. ‘The other end and many little dainties, as well as books and papers and many other comforts. The only suspicious thing in it wasa pisiol. ‘he affair is generally regarded merely a strange freak of a strange youth. = ® of a lake vessel from decay. the timber of which it is constructed proving still sound after fifteen years of service, is explained upon the theory that the timber was completely water soaked before being used, and that during the peried it remained in the water, the sap. was removed, so that when thoroughly dried the wood became literally as hard as a bone. THE conviction and punishment of a -receiver of stolen goods, in New York, 2 few days since is stated by Recorder Hackett to be the first instance of the kind within the history. of the court of general sessions. A sorry comment on the course of New York justice. tigress lately killed in India is said to have destroyed 140 people in seven years. In consequence of her ravages many families have left the region traversed by the beast, and a wide extent of country has been abandoned. ri —= eee For City Assessor, Hi.
