WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...MAY 10, 1884 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. ROSECRANS is an aspirant for the Democratic presidential nomination. The party might go further and fare worse, but having tried a military candidate last time it is doubtful whether they will again risk the experiment. In a law case in San Jose a few days ago Mrs. Dr. Lambert refused to testify on the ground that, being denied the right of citizenship, she would assume none of its duties. We admire the lady's courage more than we do her discretion: The judicial statistics of France for the last five years show that there has been a yearly average of over 300 men tried for murder in various degrees; but, thanks to juries finding extenuating circumstances, and to the leniency which M. Grevy has shown, the average of executions has not amounted to five a year. Over a thousand murderers have found their way to New Caledonia since M. Grevy became President. The bill to oust the railroad commissioner is defeated. Thus ends one chapter of the legislative work of this extraordinary session. Not an ooze of wisdom. Not a drop for the public good has been drained from these wise law-makers. Neither do we believe the railroad company has found it necessary to open its bar'l. It is to be hoped that the supply of pens, ink and paper voted to themselves is not exhausted, else they might be led to repeat that stroke of brilliant legislation. GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS, the dude or man milliner politician, and editor of Harper's Weekly, has set himself against the current which has set in so strongly for Blaine. He predicts Blaine's defeat if nominated, and THE DECLINE OF THE DUELLO An important revolution is going on in the South. It is no longer considered necessary to inject a knife or project a bullet into the body of any individual who insults you, in order to assert your manhood and physical courage. Social and business ostracism does not follow the man who refuses to avenge his wounded honor in the way indicated, as was the case only a few years ago. The refusal, some months ago, of Congressman Wise to call to "the field of honor" a fire-eating journalist who had written harsh things about him was the first conspicuous instance of the new order of things. As Wise had fought several duels, and thus proved his courage, no charge of cravenness could be made in his case, and his published letter wherein he gave his reasons for declining to fight was the most scathing arraignment of the "code" ever seen in print. Another conspicuous instance of the kind is even now agitating the Southern mind. A few weeks ago, a Kentucky lawyer named Corneilson cowhidded a Supreme Court Judge of that State, because of a decision in a case wherein the attorney was interested. The hot-headed friends of the Judge declared that he must forthwith kill Corneilson, and that if he did not he might as well leave the State and pass the rest of his life in dishonored exile. It was even said that the Judge's wife urged him to kill his assailant, and that if he did not do so she herself would avenge the insult. But these counsel did not prevail, and Judge Reed, in a speech made at Mount Sterling, Ky., gave his reasons. We quote the following extracts: After going into Mr. Stone's office and recovering power to reason and plan, there were two courses of conduct open to me. On the one hand, outraged manhood, the deep indignity laid upon me, the cry for vengeance that burst from every fibre of a mortal soul in its extremest agony, the thought that my friends might miscontrue my conduct and condemn me, that my enemies would rejoice over any mistake I might commit, the stainless name of my family, the voice of the world urging me on to revenge, called for this man's blood and demanded the forfeit of his life. They said: "Take any weapon, shot-gun or pistol; pursue slay or be slain. If you stand as a coward before the world, life is of no more worth to you. In the matter of strict bonds.

Referred by Dr.J.Hannon ap and Superintendent GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS, the dude or man milliner politician, and editor of Harper's Weekly, has set himself against the current which has set in so strongly for Blaine. He predicts Blaine's defeat if nominated, and threatens to bolt if he is the nominee. Frank Pixley of the Argonaut is so enthusiastic for the plumed knight that he threatens to bolt if he is not nominated. Thus the Chicago convention has a most difficult task before it, in view of the irreconcilable conflict between those two great men, Curtis and Pixley. If the latter's historical mule could kick some political sense into Curtis, it would not be misapplied energy. ENSIGN REYNOLDS, a young naval officer who sailed with the Greely relief expedition, performed an act of heroism some years ago in rescuing the crew of a sinking ship. In recognition of his courage the Austrian government tendered him a decoration, which he could not accept until Congress empowered him to do so. Twice has the matter come before the House of Representatives, and each time the desired permission has been denied by the votes of Robinson of New York and Finerty of Chicago, two Irishmen who disgrace their nationality. The Irish race are famed for their appreciation of deeds of daring, and the Finerty and the Robinson misrepresent them. The real and assumed hostility of these demagogues to monarchies is their excuse for their opposition to the conferring upon the gallant officer the royal recognition of his services. JIM KEENE'S failure was due to his passion for selling what is known in stock parlance as privileges. As a majority of people do not know what sort of things stock privileges are, it may not be out of place to say a few words on this subject. A stock privilege is a paper signed by some well-known person, and entitling the bearer to put to, or call from, that person a given amount of a given stock at a given price within a given time. These privileges are paid for according to their speculative value, their duration, and the amount of stock they are issued for. They are practically insurance tickets against losses in stock gambling. A man who buys a privilege cannot lose more than the amount he pays for it. If he buys a stock and it goes down, he can put it to the signer of the privilege. If he sells it short and it goes up, he can call it and cover his contract. The so-called puts and calls go only one way, and the bearer can only either put to, or call from, the signer the stock concerned. The spreads and straddles work both ways; the holder can either put to, or call from, the After going into Mr. Stone's office and recovering power to reason and plan, there were two courses of conduct open to me. On the one hand, outraged manhood, the deep indignity laid upon me, the cry for vengeance that burst from every fibre of a mortal soul in its extremest agony, the thought that my friends might miscontrue my conduct and condemn me, that my enemies would rejoice over any mistake I might commit, the stainless name of my family, the voice of the world urging me on to revenge, called for this man's blood and demanded the forfeit of his life. They said: "Take any weapon, shot-gun or pistol; pursue, slay or be slain. If you stand as a coward before the world, life is of no more worth to you. Send this soul into eternity, and then send your own there to meet and accuse it before the bar of God; or, if you cannot avenge yourself, make this assailant who has outraged your honor stand as a murderer in the eyes of the world." But there came with more time this other course, and I thank the Lord I have not taken this man's life, that his blood is not on my hands. In this decision I was supported and endorsed by my best friends, and both they and I have seen no cause to change the decision—believing before God it is right, and that it will receive, in the end, the applause and approbation of all good citizens who fear God and love and respect the laws of the land. These are the reasons why I resolved not to avenge the wrong by resenting the personal violence: 1. I did not want the blood of my assailant on my hands. I knew that if I killed him it would wreck my life and destroy my usefulness. I did not want the spectacle of his prostrate form and the mournful procession of his wife and eight helpless children searching constantly before my eyes and haunting me day and night. I did not want the gloomy shadow darkening the windows and dimming the light in my own home. 2. To have taken vengeance myself would have belied my whole life and character and Christian profession. Most of you have known me from childhood. I have gone in and out among you. My character, private and public, has been before you, and open to your inspection. I have been a man of peace—not of blood. I never carried a weapon of any kind in my life, not even since the trouble. I never struck a human being a blow in anger, and, until this occurrence, no man ever struck me a blow. From earliest youth I have been a member of the church, and for eight years an elder and a teacher in the Christian church at Mount Sterling. I have tried in my way to lead a Christian life; to illustrate in my daily walk and conversation the teachings and spirit of the Master whose servant I hope I am; I have endeavored to be true and loyal to the Bible—the great chart of human duty. I remembered it taught: "Thou shalt not kill." "Avenge not yourselves." "Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord, I will repay." And so I could not without casting to the winds my past life and all my past professions, without dishonoring or destroying my Christian manhood and overturning the foundations of my Christian character, attempt to shed the blood of a fellow man. 3. As a lawyer, a citizen, and a member of society, I have always been a lover of the law—believed in its enforcement, respected its majesty and denounced its violations. I could not consistently consent to become myself a violator of it and attempt to become the executioner of it for even a wrong done me. There is a spirit of lawlessness abroad in the land. Mobs rise up in blind fury, and burn court houses and deluge the streets with innocent blood. Criminals escape punishment, and the laws are laxly administered.

All constables are here all bills, as required County Government from point to point will be laid over our Petition for build A Pittsburg special says: M. G. Petterman, a German farmer of Pittsburg suburbs has made a wonderful invention. It is a new method that will revolutionize modern whisky distilling. He has discovered a way of making solidified whisky, pressing it into packet plugs, just like tobacco. Besides that, he says he can also distil it in liquid form so that it will be the exact equivalent of two and three-year old whisky when it comes out of the still. Last month persons from New York offered him $100,000 for his invention. A special from Cleveland, O., says: Jefferson Strouters Tall, a rather smart colored man, and Maggie Burton, a pretty white girl, cloped from Mechanicsburg and went to Springfield, where they were married. Officers attempted to stop them, but on the production of a gennine marriage certificate were compelled to abandon their purpose. The girl is not of very sound mind and is greatly infatuated with her dusky lover. A Richmond (Mo.) dispatch says: The suicide of Charles Ford has created quite a stir in the community. He was temporarily at his father's, near town. Early Monday afternoon he went to his room and soon after was found lying on his back with a bullst wound through his heart, a 45-cahbre pistol lying beside him. Among the several theories as to the cause of suicide one was remorse of conscience, another on account of ill-health, and a third that, perhaps apprehensive that Frank James would soon be at liberty and would seek revenge for Jesse's death. 3. As a lawyer, a citizen, and a member of society, I have always been a lover of the law—believed in its enforcement, respected its majesty and denounced its violations. I could not consistently consent to become myself a violator of it and attempt to become the executioner of it for even a wrong done me. There is a spirit of lawlessness abroad in the land. Mob rise up in blind fury, and burn court houses and deluge the streets with innocent blood. Criminals escape punishment, and the laws are laxly administered. There is a deep disrespect—nay, almost a contempt—for law and for those who execute or expound it. Courts are lightly esteemed, and their decisions set at naught. The sanctity that invested the Judge has been forgotten, and the throne on which he sits has been assailed. In the State of Kentucky the same demoralization prevails. Murder is rampant; assaults are frequent and go unpunished. Society, whose fabric rests on law and the respect for its enforcement, is upheaved to its very crust. Barely three years ago a thrill of horror filled Kentucky and the civilized world when John M. Elliott, a judge of the highest court, was shot down in cold blood, without warning, in the streets of the Capital, for rendering a decision that did not suit the murderer, and he, to-day, walks free in the land. It is a singular misfortune that I suffer to-day in my own person an outrage equaling, if not transcending, the enormity of Buford's, who shot his victim on the street, in open day, with a weapon unconcealed. What is to be the end of all this? Do we live in the dark and barbarous times when every man was his own avenger and took the law into his own hands, or do we live in an era of Christian civilization, where the rights of the citizens are defined and should be respected? Is there no way to check the tide; to avert the storm, to turn back the thoughts of men to the sacredness of the law, and make them listen to its voice, which is the voice of God? Is this to be the era of lawlessness? Shall shotguns and pistols and knives rule the hour, and men be swift to avenge their own wrongs, without an appeal to the organized tribunals where justice is meted out! These are, briefly, the reasons that have controlled me. I am well aware of the criticism, and odium perhaps, to which they excited impulse of popular feeling. I am aware that such a course is in the face of the current of what I honestly believe to be a mistaken public sentiment that has heretofore, to some extent, prevailed in Kentucky. I have made my decision at the bar of my own conscience, in the fear of Almighty God, guided by the precepts and principles that winds my past life and all my past professions, without dishonoring or destroying my Christian manhood and overturning the foundations of my Christian character, attempt to shed the blood of a fellow man. 3.

A fig tree on General Bidwell's Butte county farm, planted in 1856, has been left to its own sweet will, and has sent its long, pendant branches down to the ground, and these have taken root and grown till the whole affair, banyan-like, covers an area of one hundred feet or more in diameter. The girth of the body a foot from the ground is eleven feet. The tree has produced, literally, tons of figs. It is loaded every year. The town of Hailey, Wood river, is suffering from an incursion of an insect called the "stink bug." The bug makes raids upon the dwellings of the settlers of about two weeks' duration every spring and fall. Upon the slightest provocation the bug remits an odor so sickening that all who smell it want to die. There is but one way in which the people of Wood river can successfully combat the "stink bug," which is to keep on their premises a pet skunk that may be vigorously stirred up when the bung begins war. San Diego Union—Mr. E. J. Johnson, Superintendent of the American Ostrich Company, writes us from Osgood that the dates fixed upon his neighbors to call and see the ostriches free of charge are May 9th and 10th—those living north and east of the farm to visit it on the 4th, and those living south and west on the 16th. For the ten days next following an admission fee of fifty cents will be charged and thereafter twenty-four dollars. This is done to keep visitors away from the farm as they disturb the birds. The Spring Valley correspondent of the San Diego Union says: The objection to planting anything at present is the army worm, caterpillar, grub worm or whatever it may be called. Its ravages are terrible; not even the malva escapes. So far our beans and corn have escaped, but I think this immunity is on account of the abundance of beets, turnips, cabbages, etc., in immediate vicinity, which the glutton prefers. In many places the leaves of the wheat and barley are being devoured. A few hot days will probably dry up the pest. There are all shapes and sizes as well as colors of worms, nothing alike except their voracity, which is the same.
