The facts are that the investigations : were started and conducted by the . Republicans, and the whole thing waa sifted to the bottom by the Republican party in Congress, without regard to party affiliations. The re-. sult of that investigation is that two members were expelled, one a Democrat and one a Republican. It has ‘ever been the policy of the Republican party to. expose and hold up to the public scorn, the corrupt and dishonest initsranks. Though it is impossible for any party to prevent corrupt men from getting into office, much can be. done to purify politics by exposing and punishing those who «,. do wrong. And this the Republi‘cans are doing in Congress and in the Executive Department. We will ventura to say that more dishonest officers have been exposed and punished since the Republican party came into power than in allother administrations together, while the figures show that the percentage of loss to the Government froni.défalcations have been less. The masses of the Republican party, and the majority __in Congress are right, and if evils exist they may be remedied in the patty'and by the party._The last Congress did much to ferret-out and expose corruption, and while we regret that such evils exist, we will say . that the action of the Republicans in Congress in exposing those connected with the Credit Mobilier frauds , will do more to prevent the repetition of suclf frauds than anything that could be done. Rogues may steal, but the fear of exposure will) restrain them.” The Republicans of the,country Have reason to be proud of the acts of the in Congress in relation to the Credit Mobilier investigation, and to congratulate the . _ country upon the fact that the most exalted in the party were not spared in the investigation. a _‘Tar Movee Court Marszat.—The "Washington Chronicle Says: ‘The War Department, now that its supreme head is absent, and the wheels of businesé revolve ‘slow and unsteady,” is timid in furnishing important news to the press. It states, “and that somewhat-explicitly, that ‘the result of the Modoc court niartial has not yet officially reachedgts chief bureau, the Adjutant-General’s office; but it cannot deny the fact that unofficial advices have been received, and that by an officer of the department, in which a full: and detailed foreshadowing is give the fate of There is no The papers ave yet to go through the Secretary of War to the President for his action in the prentises, General Jeff C. Davis earnestly hopes that the approval of the Executive will supplement the findings of the court, and the statement is made that the eyes of the whole Pacific coast will be directed to the action taken in the matter.’’ p s . A dispatch from the. Associated Press agent at Washington confirms the statement that no official report has been received, as follows: ‘The findings of the military commission in the case of the Modoc Indians, ' recently tried, have not yet been received at the WarDepartment. The proceedings, after being reviewed by Gen. Schofield, will be forwarded to Judge Advocate General Holt, who will examine the testimony and findings and transmit them tothe Seeretary of War and ‘the President for approval before the sentenve canbe executed,” : 3 —— for him. Speaking of the accident to John -. W. Davis, of San Juan, already mentioned by us, the Sah Juan Times says: ‘‘On Friday, the Ist.inst,, Jno. W. Davis met with an adventure, the parallel to which we have. never heard of. He was engaged in working in the Buckeye Tail Flume; on Sweetland creek, a mile below Sweetland, catching blocks that were being ,. washed down from the flume above. While thus employed he attempted to step across the flume and fell in. There was between 1,300, and 1,500 inches of water running at’the time. ite was washed some thirty feet {when hé went over a fall. After he struck ona little bench of tock projecting-from the . precipice. He caught hold of this rock and“ managed to. hold 6n for. some time. It was a@little to one side of the force of the current and so he was partially-shielded from the constant stream of rocks and blocks {Kat were being washed over, and td this he owes his life. “In attempting to ‘dodge: some falling rock and to get his head in a place. of safety, he fell some six feet further but again caught a little shelf. Here he hung, with rocks beating him on the head and shoulders, until he was so numb he could hardly hold on. _ Beneath him was a‘fall of 75 feet perpendicular, with no other chance of escape. He did not lose his présence of mind and thought his last hour had come. He knew that if he remained there he wouid be beaten to death, washed into the river, and if not found, be covered with tailings. His only chance for escape lay in that leap, and at worst it could only hasten death, and’so -he made it amid a perfect shower of boulders, many of which were as large as his head. He landed at the bottom of . the fall in the middle of the stream, ‘and was washed some thirty feet further, when he succeeded in catching hold of a rock and crawled out. Some men-who were working above saw him go over the fall and one ran to a China diggings a short distance off to procure a rope. The Chinamen would not let him have it, even after he had offered them $10 for the use of it to rescue Davis. They would not let him have it and as he was returning Mr. Davis was just coming out of the flume and called to him. Remarkable as it may seem not a bone was broken, but he has many flesh wounds. When he leaped he was struck in the back of the head and a considerable cut is the result. His back is pounded up three or four days. and when wé saw him last Thursday he was getting idential escape: Tue f.Howing is 4 list of the nicknames of a number-of the cities of the Union: New York, Gotham; Boston, the Modern Athens; Philadelphia, the Quaker city; Baltimore, the Monumental City; Cincinnati, the Queen City; New Orleans, the Crescent City; Washington the City of Magnificent Distances; Chicago, the Garden City; Detroit, the City of Straits; Cleaveland, the Forest City; Pittsburg, the Iron City; New.

A Lone Boat Ripz.—A short time since Mr. Joseph C. Cloud, an actor of some note, started on a trip to New Orleans in a small boat from Smith's Island, Philadelphia. The Philadelphia Press says: Shortly before 8 o’clock the boat was launched, and Mr. Cloud, preceded by a band of music, marched down to the wharf and took his seatin his boat. He then struck out and pulled slowly up the river until about a mile above the island, when he threw up, his hand as a signal that he was off for good. He then proceeded. on his way to Bristol, where he will enter ‘the canal and continue rewing until he reaches the Ohio river, down which he proposes to row to the Mississippi, and down the father of -waters to New Orleans. He is to tow twenty miles a day, and stop at the towns and cities on the way, to perform in.a play which kas been ited for the ensuing year: had fallen about seventy-five feet he} the San Juan Times.

Howard Hill Mine. — 2S A ortshing trom Howard Hill mine has just been completed and cleaned up at the Gold Hill mill. The rock put through was 100 tons and gave a yield of $26 50 a ton, or $2,650 for the crushing. The Howard Hill has a large pile of the same kind of ore on the dump pile at the mine, which Will soon be put through the mill. This mine has slept for years, and was one of the kind that was considered worked out when the sur. face had merely been scratched. A We condense .the: following from sensation in The annual meeting of the Ametican Mining Company was held at North San Juan on Wednesday last mense amounts of timber are being wood becomes scarcé, the effect. of. a Ste ashe eS: A mdent of the Times of India, writing from Akola on June [st says: as “Phere was a sad occurrence a few weeks back. The Patel of a village, .wellkknown as a tiger shikaree, was arotsed late at night by a tumult in his cattle shed, and; peeping through the crevices of a door, discovered master Stripes coolly walking off. with a calf. The Patel took up his gun and fired, wounding the tiger,’ who immediately dropped his prey and fled. Thenext morning the Patel, accompanied by his two brothers atid a Pardhi (the first armed with a gun and swerd, and the remaiuing:-three with swords only.) went in search of the animal, the blood stains on histrack. =~ . “The tiger was first seen by the Patel lying apparently helpless un-der a. bush, when he incautiously rested bis gun against the butt of a ‘tree, and approaching the tiger— pricked him with the point of his sword. On this he suddenly sprang ‘up with a roar, and struck the Patel bravely attacked the tiger with their swords, but were‘toth disposed of in in the same manner, By this time the Pardhi came up, and swathing his left arm in his dhotee, thrust it into the tiger’s mouth, and proceeded’ to hack him with his sword; but by this time the tiger was quite. spent, and quietly fell back dead. By evening all three brothers died from the injuries received, leaving their families almost wholly unprovided for. Within the last three months no lessthan six or eight children are ascertained to have been destroyed by wolves. These animals are getting so bad that in daylight, and within sight of their mothers, they come and curry their infants away.” o> A macuinist died lately at the age of fifty-four in Rhode Island, who had been unable to do any work for twelve years, and who had never received over $1 50 per day for wages, and yet he left a snug little fortune who was easily followed, owing. to . senseless. The two brothers then} considerably. He was laid up only q along famously. Truly ‘a most provven, the City of Elms; Indianapolis, little pluck has shown that the ledge’ is good at a greater depth. There are plenty more just as rich ledges now idle in Grass Valley district. Su says the Grass Valley Union. American Pomological Society. An exhibition of fruits will be heldin Boston, Massachusetts, by the American Pomological Society, commencing September 10th and continuing three days, and itis desired that California be represented. The managers of the State Agricultural society tender their services to the the fruit growers' of the State who may desire toforward samples of” the fruit products to the €xhibition. The fruit must be sent tio the Secretary of the State Agricul tural Society at. Sacramento previous to August 20th or it cannot be forwarded to Boston. pr + > Mouuuet, Governnient Architect, who is on an official visit to this coast, is said to be furiously dissatisfied with the mode in which the concontractor for the Mint building has performed his work. The structure is the most.substantial and massive on this coast, but its outer walls are destined soon to crumble and become weather.worn, and the impression of: solidity it gives may be considerably weakened within afew years. The. ing he claims is not of the quality the contract called for. R. P. & H. P. Saxe, importers and breeders and deelersin marino sheep, and near relatives to the poet, J. G. Saxe sold, August 5th, the ram Hannibal to J. P. & F. Whitney of Rocklin, on the Central Pacific road, the terms being $10 per pound for the wool, the sheep being thrown in. The animal is three years of “age, and bore a fleece of thirteen months’ growth. It was sheared and the fleece weighed on the spot, the weight being thirty pounds, thug bringing the price of the animal to $300 . * A cotony of one hundred and fifty families have been organized with a view of settling in Southern California. Their plans are to purchase not less than ten thousand acres of land, good for farming, lay out a town in the midst of it, and then allot each member a farm, and a block three hundred feet square in the town. Wovens are prowling over the country between Mardleeville, Bullion and Silver Mountain, Alpine+ county, altogether too promiseuously for the convenience and comfort of settlers. One settler has been chased to his cabin by them. And another has been chased up a tree. . A Youne gasibler, aged fourteen, lately fleeced a. member of the Téxas Legislature of $1,200 at “a little stone used in the walls of the. build' of $15,000; all from his own earnings. married, had one child, and educated her, lived comfortably, and dressed He was not penurious, was neatly. He merely saved small sums, beginning with $200 when he became of age, and added the inter‘est of “his—deposits to the principal. Ir may not be _yéry generally known, says the Benici« Tribune, that there exists in the immediate vicinity of this city, and of eesy access, an exhaustless supply of Kaolin, pipe .arid fire brick clays, together with other requisite ingredients, for the ‘manufacture of the finest porcelain and China wares, as well as fire brick and it only needs’a small. outlay of capital, in the hands of some one skilled in the manufacture of China ware, to make Benicia as famous for the production of the finest table ware and pottery in general as she is for the produetion of cement. THE Napa Register says of E. J. Church, a St. Helena fruit grower, that he has an acre of gooseberries, and he has gathered this year 700 pounds of the fruit. He has two acres of blackberry vines, and has this year sold from them five tons of berries, averaging about 72 ceuts a pound; an aggregate of, say, $750 from that source alone; not a bad beginning for a mountainranch, started without capital. Tux cry of a short crop of ‘hay was premature. In some parts of Masschusetts the crop is a little less than last year, but in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont and in Western Massachusetts the crop will exceed that of last year. There is also a large crop in Canada. Last Summer gave the roots a firm stand, and a wet May this year gave the grass a good start. Turoporr Hoek was once asked for a contribution to the treasury of the Society for the Couversion of the Heathen. He said he was quite unable to give any money, butif the Society would lend him a heathen or two he would do his best to get away with them, Tas Portland, Me., Press says that it cost $30 20 to send the quarterly returns of the Augusta Pension agent to Washington by mail, under the new law.

Thenext morning the Patel, accompanied by his two brothers atid a Pardhi (the first armed with a gun and swerd, and the remaiuing:-three with swords only.) went in search of the animal, the blood stains on histrack. =~ . “The tiger was first seen by the Patel lying apparently helpless un-der a. bush, when he incautiously rested bis gun against the butt of a ‘tree, and approaching the tiger— pricked him with the point of his sword. On this he suddenly sprang ‘up with a roar, and struck the Patel bravely attacked the tiger with their swords, but were‘toth disposed of in in the same manner, By this time the Pardhi came up, and swathing his left arm in his dhotee, thrust it into the tiger’s mouth, and proceeded’ to hack him with his sword; but by this time the tiger was quite. spent, and quietly fell back dead. By evening all three brothers died from the injuries received, leaving their families almost wholly unprovided for. Within the last three months no lessthan six or eight children are ascertained to have been destroyed by wolves. These animals are getting so bad that in daylight, and within sight of their mothers, they come and curry their infants away.” o> A macuinist died lately at the age of fifty-four in Rhode Island, who had been unable to do any work for twelve years, and who had never received over $1 50 per day for wages, and yet he left a snug little fortune who was easily followed, owing. to . senseless.

He has two acres of blackberry vines, and has this year sold from them five tons of berries, averaging about 72 ceuts a pound; an aggregate of, say, $750 from that source alone; not a bad beginning for a mountainranch, started without capital.
