The returns of w the number of
emigrants landing at New York con
tinue to show a marked falling off
from other years. The total for 1S76
bo far is 59,019, being 19,212 less
than lor 'the same period last year.
For 'the past few days Commo

'somewhat worse. He is still in bed

some time before he will be sufii-

Half dollars, as purchased by
brokers, may now be considered at
5 per cent discount.' New York ad
Tices say that " there is a good de
dnand for half-dollar pieces for Cali

will come to California from the East
just as long as speculators can make
a profit bT sending it here.

A Missouri negro, who had plead
ed guilty to minder in the second
degree, was recently sentenced to
imprisonment for 90 years. The
reason for this was that under the
law of that State a man sentenced to
imprisonment for life may claim and
get his discharge at the end of fifteen
years, which was what the court
wanted to prevent. Still, unler the
three-fourths rule, good behavior
will reduce the 99 years to 74, and if
the prisoner is of the family of Gen-
body servants, he
will live long enough to breathe the
air of freedom ence again.

The warm friendship which we have
for years entertained for Mr. Case,
and the high estimate of his character
as a man, and a brother, forbid that
we suffer this occasion to .pass away
without enrolling ourself as one among
the many who deeply sympathise with

"the memory of the departed. For

1 The facts that have been laid before
them both in the speeches in Con

taken, have led many journals to the
conclusion that the people of this

A Xew York dispatch of the 26th
says the Mexican Hider Peralta suc
ceeded yesterday in running twenty
five mustangs 155 miles inside of seven
hours. His riding from the start to
the finish, being six hours ten min
utes and forty-tliree seconds. The
race was evidently an investment,
and as such it proved even more suc
cessful than its predecessor, the crowd
being immense at the start. The en
tire number of spectators was 15,000,
12,000 of wjiom paid $1 apiece. The
company was more than ordinarily re
spectable; very few betting men and
very little betting. Peralta's rising
was admired by everybody. The hor-
1 ses behaved better with him than -with
Parker. The care taken of Peralta
was in marked contrast with the treat
ment of Parker. Parker was left to
himself and a common stableman; he
ate hard-tack, ham sandwich and
mince pie, and drank ice water by the
quart. He rode always in the same
direction, and came in at the end of
the 225th mile blind hi consequence.
Peralta was in care of Dr. Stanley,
and was treated in a scientific man
ner. His food was principally beef
tea, taken with proper frequency, in
proper quantities. He was furnished
with fresh caps, with long visors at in
tervals of five or six miles, which not
only kept his head cool, but also by
reason of changes in colors of visors,
greatly relieved his eyes. He was also
required to change Iris direction re
peatedly. He drove his horses much
faster than Parker did. Parker's
best time was 2:26; Perraltamade sev
eral miles in 2:17; his best time, how
ever, was 2:14 and -1:12. -
A deliberate and cowardly mur
der was committed near Empire City,
Coos county, May 22d, by a man
named llevere Lewis. He shot Iris
half brother first in the back and then
under the arm, after which ' he took
his departure and no trace of him has
as yet been found. No cause . is as
signed for the murder; but Lewis'
crimes, aside from this, are an outrage
against all decency, and if any one
deserved hanging he surely does.
The President on Thursday last
issued a proclamation recommending
the carrying into effect of the late reso
lution of Congress for the,, delivery of
local sketches of tlie country's progress,
