The Democratic State Central Committee have Jevied an assessment of ten per cent. on two months salary of every office holder in the State belonging to the Democratic party.

Taft on Hayes. Attorney-General Taft, who has been Jiptimately acquainted with Governor Hayes for many years, says of him: “If there is any. one who imagines that his talents are not equal to the high positions which he has held, or to which he aspires, it is because they are not acquainted with him. He is unquestionably a man of superior ability, combined with singtlar equanimity aud pood judgment; a man on whom his country and his friends can rely for the . use of energy when energy is wanted and for the use of discretion and prudence when those qualities are required, Though he has long been in public life, nothing corrupt or unworthy has ever been alleged or imagined against -him, I think I may say he possesses a magnanimity which is not in danger—of demoralization from the influence of office.”’ a ee Tue Deadwood City Black Iiills Pioneer of August 5th says: ‘The head of the Indian killed near Crook City was brought into town, and, after being viewed by a number of citizens, it was turned over to Dr. Schultz, who, on removing the brain found it to weigh forty-four ounces.

Nevapa Crry -‘Transcrrret.— As the boy. ence said, ‘‘all the world and ‘his big brother” was at the Capitol last night, anxious to witness the final adjournment. but no such thing took place. Both Houses were in session until an hour or two past midnight and the scene in both partook largely of the nature and style of a grand political barbegue, where stump speeches on. both sides followed each: other=in quick succession. “No edibles, however, as is usual on the occasions above alluded to, were last night visible, but that drinkables were abundant -was plainly. manifest. In the Senate they only got as faras hard words, but in the House they went a little further. Mr. Kasson, of Iowa, had made adong political speech which was replied to by Mr. Cox, of New York, who said that Mt, Kasson was . the apologist of Belknap and Posttraders in the House. Mr. Kasson called him ‘to order for Stating an road leading , to the Ridge. With the grades Mr. Smith reports, heavy teams can go over the road Without any difficulty whatever.

In fact parties stand ready to put the road in the condition as proposed by Mr. Smith, to the satisfaction of the Board of Supervisors or any civil engineer they may appoint, and will give a good bond for the faithful performance of the contract, at the price named. The grade in no.instanee exceeds seventeen inches to the rod.

Several members interfered, and presently order was restored. The President was in his room ready to sign such bills as might be brought him, but after signing a few and seeing no prespect of an adjournment, he left. ‘The adjournment now pretty much depends upon the Senate, which by a vote laid on the table the House resclution fixing the time for adjournment at 4 o’clock yesterday, the 14th. If the session lasts much longer, a quorum cannot be had for the transaction of business. Already seventeen Senators have left or are absent, and eighty members of the-House. ‘The understanding with some is, that the resolution for adjournment will be taken from the table about-half-an—hour before >< > JESSIE CLEVELAND, a girl only 17 years of age, has been sent to juil ‘for seventy-five days as a confirmed drunkard by the Police Judge of San Francisco. = . It would. be interesting to trace the history of this girland her parents. “It is a safe guess to state her parents were addicted to the use of alcoholic stimulants, and that. the desire for strong drink was transmitted to her, and that she could no more resist the desire than she could the pangs of hunger. The sins of the jiarents are visited tipon their children to the third or fourth generation. When ante-natal conditions are better understood, there will be a happier and better race of beings on-earth. Children are often goaded on to crime and sin by inclinations beyond their control, and it is probable Jessie Cleveland is one of that kind! ~Her parents may doubtless take most of the blame upon themselves.

Omission is made in this comparisen of the session of the Fortieth Congress in 1866-67, which sat coutinuous in order to prevent President Johnson from making any appointments, and to obstruct generully his policy. The session twenty yéars ago, to which -refereticé is first made, lasted’ until the 30th of August (1856), owing to the delay in Legislative business occasioned by the protracied ‘‘dead lock’’ in the election of Speaker, N.

Crook bad ahnest annihilated the hostile Sioux, but no dispatch has been received here during the past 48. hours relative to operating iu the Indian country. Rumors of a fight between Gen. Crook and the Indians is discredited at the War Office, where it is thought that Crook would not be able to attack them for several days. The House Committee on nilitary. affairs has.agreed to-the-Senate—bill micreasing the strength of the Cavalry regiments, but has addad an amendment providing that such increase Shall not exceed twenty-five . hundred ‘men, and that the newly enlisted men shall be mustered out when hostilities cease. As Gen. Crook now occupies a prominent position as the General in comniand of our forces in the Indian war, the following shért sketch of him may not be uninteresting: He isa lithe, lean, light haired man, of both mili-} tary and hunter appearance. He will go out on the desert alone, and sleep in the sage brush, and from seeing and studying Indians so con-. stantly, the traits of~his mind have become something like theirs.
