TRE IN<IAN POET. Sonn Ridge. the Student Writer and Savage avenger. There ave on the Comstock many men who were well acquainted with John R. Ridge, whe was a really remarkable man. He was a man who could sit upen a point of rocks in the high Sierras ter hours, gazing down upon the valleys, the huge pines and tumbling canyons, drink- ing in and enjoying the beauties of nature, so absorbed in thought as to hardly move hand or foot ; yet areuse the Indian in him and he was a man et stec! and without a thought of any- thing poetical or humane until his vengeance was satiatiated. It was as two different souls within the same body. His Indian name was “‘Yel- tow Bird.”” Jehn-R. Ridge was the oldest so. of Major Ridge, Chief ot the Chero- kee Nation, whe was murdered in his house by a deputation of the ri- val Ross party, and Jehn Ross in consequence became chief. The lit- tle John was concealed in the weeds, daw lus father stabbed and shot to death and swore vengeance on the suurderers. * When he became a man he armed 4aimselt and went on a still hunt on the warpath and followed on the fcail until he had slain thirty-two cf them. At length the misterious death of one of their number, in 13- 49, atotsed the vengeance ef the Ross men, who, suspecting the au- aor of their calamities, pursued Ridge several hundred milesg.v.rihe plains, but being well mounted and in company with the celebrated Charley Macintosh he made his way fn safety te Calitornia. Some time in 1859 Mr. Ridge was editor of the Marysville Democrat, and one night received a dispatch from Weaverville, stating that party et Cherokee Bar were on a spree in town, and one of them was boasting that he had had a hand in thedeath of old Major Ridge aud had stabbed him five times. ‘That game hour the avenger was on nis tral. Without mentioning his pur pose to any one in the printing office Ridge hired « horse at the livery stable and started for Weaverville. oyer two hundred miles, but how the enemy got telegraphic telligence of his coming, and on arrival not a Cherokee id b found on Trinity river. Mr. Ridge died a few years Grass Valley, universaily lamented and leaving to the world the glorious poem ever writien in Cali tornia—that on **Mount S hasta."” a some- in ce agon mos The Malit:a Bill.

This bill, which has passed both houses ot the Missouri legislature and needs only the approval of the governor te become a law, is erroneously believed by many to re- quire atwo thirds majority. instead of a bare majority, as under the pres- ent law of the tax-payers ef the township, or block. tv the petition tor a license befwre the county | court can grant it. A careful read- ing of the first section of the bill | shows that two cases are provided tor- Ifa bare majority of the tax- payers sign the pttition the county court may grant the license; if two- thirds of the tax-payers sign the pe- tition the court shall grant it. In ene case the court may grant or re- fuse the license at its discretion; in the other, the applicant can claim the lhcense as aright and the court must grant. Licenses are to granted for orly six months ata time, and tke fees charged forthem are $25 to $200 for state purposes, and $250 to $400 for county purposes. The lowest rates that can be charged for one year are, therefore’ $50 for the state, and $500 for the county: and the highest are $400 for the state, and $800 tor the county. It a county court should fix the lowest rates, a license would cost the li- censee $550 a year; if it should fix the highest rates a license would cost $1,200 a year—to which must be added the municipol teei charged Of course all the places where liquor 1s_ retat!- ed in the state, estimated at 4,500, will not be able to pay even the low- est of these rates. The number ot drinking places will, therefore, he reduced one-third to one-halt, and those that are left will be separated as far from one another as the iness may require. Itis intimated that there are doubts ot the applicability of the bilito St. Weare at a loss to under- stand the basis of these doubts. St. ‘eurs is for many purposes held tc a county of the — state, the cheme and charter and the Revised Statutes explicitly authorize the municipal assembly to perform the functions of county courts, and besides, St. Lours city, cing a part of the state, must be subject to all general taws. Tt vould be untortunate that the city should ve under licensed law, while all the state except it is under nother; for not only is the new law seheved to possess decided superi- ority in many features over the snc, but there are special reasons vhy it should apply to this city.
