Of the trial of Cockbarn for the kill
ins of a Chinaman, the Eureka Sentinel
of Aug. 23 says:
The jury in the case of the colored boy
CockbnrnI indicted for murder, in the
killing of one Chinaman and the serious
-nroamling of another on Baby Hill
bhort time since, failed to agree, am;
yesterday morning was discharged. On
the final vote they stoed eight for ac
quittal to four lor manslaughter. On
the first ballot, as we learn from one of
the jurors, there were seven for a verdict
of mansiangbter, lour tor acqnittal ana
one blank. It was supposed the blank
ballot was cast by a juryman, who, it
was afterwards ascertained could not
write. When the second trial of the
boT will be had we have not heard.
There is a strong feeling in the com
munity in favor of his discharge, with
oat farther expense to the county. Ow
ing to the fact that his victims were
Chinamen, it is extremely doubtful
whether a jury can be fonnd that will
bring the defendant in guilty of any
crime whatever.
Light Sestksck. Says the Humboldt
Register of Friday:
Last week the criminal case of Ah
Chew, Chinaman, for housebreaking,
was tried in the District Court and a ver
dict of guilty rendered by the jury. In
consideration of the youthfulness of de
fendant, and a recommendation by the
jury for the leniency of the court in pro
nouncing sentence in the case, and in
consideration of a petition to the Court
by the members of the Bar, and other
officers of the Court, to a similar effect,
the Judge gave the lightest punishment
known to the law, to wit: One year's
imprisonment in the State Prison. The
other Chinese criminal cases were con
tinued for the term.
Ths Humboldt Register thos sum
marily disposes of the notorious Cornu
copia mining district:
The parties that left this place, last
week for the new 1 Dorado, Cornu
copia, returned last Monday. The no
toriety which the district has obtained
through published accounts from specu
lators and men interested are boens.
There is but one mine there that has the
aimearance of beimr worth anvthine.
That is Freeman's mine and that mine
has been jumped by one Wilson, and no
work is being done on it. There is but
six or eight tents in the place, and wood
is fifteen or twenty miles away. There
are not to exceed seventy-five meu in the
district, and the whole anair is
swindle.
Tmm present status of thai remnant of
an ancient and effete godlessness of riot
ous prosperity, the far Eastern and Great
Eastern City of Austin, is thus profanely
set forth by the ReteiUe of that city:
This city is fast attaining a moral
standard which, however desirable it may
be in som respects, is extremely incon
venient to ye local who delights in a sur
feit of assault and batteries who revels
in shooting and cutting affrays and
whose very heart bounds with joyous
thrills at the prospect of a shocking
murder committed within his jurisdic
tion. For the past three weeks Judge
Logan's feelings have not been lacerated
in a single instance by being called upon
to exercise lis painful duty upon a
drunk and disorderly or peace disturber;
llarbhal Reynolds and Policeman Day
ere pining away with ennui and the bed
bugs are starving to death in the station
house. If this staie of affairs lasts
much longer we shall be tempted to
throw up the sponge which is the Tint in
for pencil and emigrate to Pioche,
where murders are as common as dog
fighting and shooting scrapes and cut
ting affrays as thick as leaves in Valam
bross. Fahisg. The invalid whose name is
mentioned in the subjoined is well known
as an old resident of Carson. We qiote
from the Reveille of the 23th:
Mr. Tower has lately received a letter
from his partner, Fred Ohngemar, who
is stopping at the Mineral Springs at St.
Ili lena, in Napa county, California. II?
writes that his health has not improved
since he left here, but that he is gradual
ly sinking, and that he never expects to
tee Austin again. His physicians are
also of the same opinion. Fred has
many warm friends in this city who will
be sincerely grieved at the news of his
sad condition.

Tux gales alon the north east coast
have done a tremendous quantity of dis
aster.) A multitude of wreck3 all along
the coast of the British Provinces are
reported, also much loss of life. Ashoro,
many bouses and barns were blown
prostrate. The fishing and marine in
terests will suffer severely.
It is of the due coarse of things
pertaining to human nature for the
members of a family to lav tbe
blame of a common misfortune up
on one another and to- seek for the
causes of their adversity in other
than the natural incidents and con
tingencies of life. When a ship is
wrecked, we seek for some one per
son to elect to tho painful office of a
Jonab ; when a Sre occurs, and our
houses are destroyed, we are incred
ulous of spontaneous combustion;
and we even cast aspersions upon
tbe architects who plan our houses,
after the earthquake has tumbled
their walls and rafters about our
heads. The telearraph informs us
of an editorial article in the London
Time touching tbe supersedence of
the United States over England as
an iron-factor and a producer of that
scarcely less than precious metal.
That paper mentions,' what is to us
a happy fact, namely, that the United
States no longer affords an inevitable
market for the hardware of England;
calls attention to tbe fact that we are
competing with tbe Mother Country
for the control of tbe iron trade of
Canada, tbe West Indies and South
America ; philosophises alittle upon
the matter, and then, like many a
weaker but no less human organ of
utterance, casts about itself for some
one to blame. It finds that blame
worthy obiect in the strikers and
trades Unions. Doubtless these ill
advised perversions of human energy
have done, in some instances, a great
deal more of barm than good ; but
it is the petulence and ill judgment
of misfortune which thus recognizes
the mote of comparatively insignifi
cant personal action as the cause of
a revolution in the current of trade
and manufactures, and ignores so
great a natural reason for its bring
ing round as that of profusion and
easy possession as against limited
supplies and growing difficulties in
the matter of production. The deep
and long worked coal and iron mines
of a little island can no longer main
tain a superiority over the exhaust-
less surface-deposites of those min
erals scattered in limitless abundance
over a vast continent; and even so
indubitable a vehicle of wisdom and
political economy as the London
Times, makes no recognition of the
obvions and plainly presented facts,
but goes out of its way to throw the
burden of an inevitable natural con
sequence upon tbe feeble shoulders
of a few blind, misguided English
workingmen. It is tbe old story of
widespread plenty as against a lim
ited supply ; a new and developing
nation as against an old and much
exhausted one : a free and all edu
cated country as against th9 condi
tions of a people who live under tbe
disadvantages of an aristocratic!
government and who have been de
nied tbe benefits and privileges
which belong to, and grow out of a
system of popular education, and
whose share in tbe ownership of
acres in tbe land of their nativity i3
practically as valueless as its scope
id contracted and insignificai.t.

LATEST TELEGRAMS.
Ben Butler's friends are, so far, largely
in tbe majority in the lists of delegates
elect to the Massachusetts Republican
Convention. He has sixty of the ninety
delegates from Boston, all the delegates
from Lowell and Lynn, and two-thirds
of the Newburvport delegation are for
him. We very heartily wish him suc
cess. Col. Raymond, who was military sec
retary to General 3IcClellan on the
Peninsula is dead and buried.
Horses and mules iu New York are
afflicted with cercbro spinal meningitis.
Bloody rumors contine to arrive from
Fort Sill. The reported murders are
laid at the door of SantanU and Big
Tree.
That fellow Irving who is such a puz
zle to the San Francisco police has been
doinz another job of confessing. It s
another burglary that he owns up to.
is evident that he wants to be trans
ported to New York.
Cap'n Jack is stoically indifferent to
his fate. So are his fellow doomsmen
all but the curly headed doctor, who is
sick and nervous.
Nonuso more sorrowful than these
latter days of poor John P. Hale. Bril
liant wit, hearty humor, the magnetism
of bonhommie come to pay their penal
ties of grief and affliction at last. The
once genial Senator now lies there sight
less and voiceless. There is nothing
more deplorable and pathetic in all the
history of public men than this. Death
is the merciful relief which is near at
hand.
The Ohio Democracy is moving. The
nature of the motion is like that of the
shaking palsy. Ex-Senator William
Alien is its gubernatorial figure-head.
He opened the canvass at Columbus,
where the State Prison is.
At Mission, San Jose, Cab, on Friday
afternoon there was an earthquake of
considerable severity.
Thi Dubois family, accused of the
murder of a Chinese cook at San Jose
have been submitted to an examination
before a committing magistrate and dis
charged. Still it is not clear to the pub
lic mind that they are not guilty. Cir
cumstances have a suspicious look.
Ferguson who killed Ash in the
county hospital at Pioche with a dissect
ing knife is having his trial there.
