oe que DAILY TRANSCRIPT. . . Helio Oficial Pret. Sethe in 180 —o— * BROWN & CALKINS, Proprietors, FRIDAY, FEB. 17, 1882. THAT'S JUST IT. Nevada TransoniPT advocates “ht of Page’s so-called Debrie bill, and makes the confident assertion ‘“‘that gold mining is too important an industry, and our gold are too vast to have such ap idaty closed by litigation.” Down . this way, Mr, Transcrirt, there are ‘who are weak-ininded enough ve that there is a law which will prevent one citizen from deng the property of another.— Maryeville Appeal. We thank the Appeal for its frank admission. The law it speaks of is the precise one that the hydraulic miners propose to preserve their They havein California at least one hundred million dollars’ worth of property that will be made yalueless if the cause of the. antislickensites-is-successful. They purchased their mines from the United States, paying an exorbitant price for them in order to secure the attendant right to dump their tailings into the water-ways below them.For more than a quarter of a century they have been exercising the privileges they paid for, and the Nation has been enriched by the results of their labor. Up this way, Mr. Ap____ peal, there are people shrewd enough l to see that the Government will not permit this great legitimate wealthproducing industry to be sacrificed in order to quiet the howls of the ‘owners of a few hundred acres of swampland who are under the vile influence of a gang of fee-hunting lawyers, hoggish landgrabbers, unprincipled politic. ians and fanatical local newspapers. eae THE marriage insurance folly is creeping out in this direction, and it is well to known that the bubble appears to have begun a general collapse, in Richmond, Indiana. The , inducements to policyholders to get married fora dowry of $500, upon the expenditure ot a few hundred dollars, appear tu have been too great for the ‘United States: Marriage Dowry Association to stand, and the; company was obliged to stop for the want of fands to pay the benefits due to members who rushed: into matrimony to reap the promised financial-reward. The officers of the association retained twenty per cent. of all moneys received for running expenses and their own use, They paid dowries to begin with, but their policy-holders got married too fast. Now suits have been begun against the managers, and some of them have ~ -béen decided against the officers of the company, some of whom are responsible men. Suits will therefore be brought as fast as marriages mature among the insured. THE annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic takes place at San Jose on the 17th and 18th insts. The whole coast is ineluded in this ‘Department, and as important matters are to be attended to, a large attendance is _ expected. A glee club-will accompany the San ’ Francisco delegation. Many of the G. A. R. posts of California have passed a vote of thanks to Senator Miller, General Rosecrans and Senator Ingalls of Kansas for their zealous defence of the Pension Arrears Act. Onu of the wealthy and fashionable women of Zanesville, Ohio, astonished a large company of keno gamblers by walking coolly into the room where they avere at play, accompanied bya policeman. She was in quest of a young brother, who had become possessed of an uncontrollable mania for gambling; and she not only took’ him away, but secured enough evidence to convict the proPrietors of the place, which was shen closed, ~ Tae Boston Christian Register in & recent. issue said: “We give Ingersoll credit for anearnestness-and& reverence more profound than can be conceded Ao many of his opponents,” and added: “If we had to choose between the Christianity of ‘Jeremiah Black and the infidelity of . : . Ingersoll, the temptation to prefer teh: latter would be very strong.” Da, J. J; ‘Moran, who wee oe hid death bed, says the story that Edgar pet cor peetaegr Half Minute Interviews With the Chiefs of the Sanctum. : {Gold Hill Newsy President Arthar will not. attempt to ‘plead baby act” as t6:the diplomatic documents which Mr. Blaine wrote “by order of the President.” President Arthur’s most dangerous foes just now are his ‘‘fool friends,” A PLEA FOR REFORM. (8. F. Daily Exchange.] Let us suppress the Chinese lotteries and save our children from the terrible lust of gambling, and tell them what a demoralizing tasce it is, as we start for the club to play poker until the rattle of the milk cans break up the game. en A BROKEN HEART. [S. F. Alta.) : * Little Hart had—an—insane— idea that he was the State, when he degraded his office to make war-on the miners, He has found out his mistake. The Board of Examiners have kicked out his bills) The Republican party—will kick out little Hart. A GREAT MAN’S MIST4 KE. {Peck’s Sun.} Judge Folger, the ‘new Secretary of the Treasury, recently paid forty dollars for a cow he had killed while shooting snipe in NewJersey. It does not seem as though a man who could and a snipe, could manage the finances of this glorious republic. We should think he coud tell the difference by the bill—for killing the cow. A MQSS-COVERED OPINION. {S. F. Chronicle.] ~A St, Louis dentist is on the high road to fortune. He recently sned a man in that city for $21.50 for replacing several of his mother-in-law’s teeth. The lady herself swore in court that the tecth were so big that when they were in her moath she could neither eat nor talk. The dentist felt aggrieved because the Court allowed him only $5.50, but a bystander was eager to engage his services if he could guarantee to put that kind of teeth in his mother-inlaw’s jaw. soe _ Lead Ores. The Union says: William Gay, who is interested in ‘a mining location called the Mammoth, which is about one mile north-west of Spenceville, brought to Grass Valley, Wednesday, a number of pieces of ore from the'claim which were remarkably heavy in lead. This was taken out within four feet of the surface of the ground. There were no assdyers.or experts around to prove whether the ore contained silver, but appearances favored the belief of the presence of that valuable metal. The great copper belt rans through the foot-hills at Spenceville and vicinity, and these lead ores are in the same geological formation. Some of the veins prospect in gold,, but are not rich in that precious metal. The region to the north and south of Spenceville is rich in copper ores, and lead and silver may yet be found in quantity to prove profitable for working, as the specimens above seem to indicate. What Hallenbeck Says. Mr. Hallenbeck, the temperance revivalist who recently laboredwith our Grass. Valley brothersand sisters, is now in San Francisco. The other night he hit the moderate drinkers there a pretty hard rap in the following fashion: ‘‘Moderate drinkers are the curse of this community, especially so -are those cool-headed driukers who can carry a full load without staggering, and who say to the temperance people, ‘look at us; we drink but can attend to our: business, and drink does not get the best of us.’ The moderate drinker is ruinng the young men of San Francisco. It is easy to convince a drunkard that drink is his ruin, but a moderate drink is beyond all help, except the power of God.” A memBeEr of the Kentucky Legislature recently introduced a bill making it an offense punishable by finé to tell a lie. The!-other members thought of the evenings when they would have to sit around the stove in country groceries and enter< tain their constituents with stories of official.life in the State capital, and the bill was tabled by an overwhelming majority. —=s<-<o.-——— -——-_ . An Austif clergyman, whosename we suppress on acount of ‘his sacred calling, was absorbed in thought a few Sundays ago, just before divine service began, when he was approached by ‘the organist, who asked, ref to thei not tell the diffe ence between a cow . John E. McDonough, the ei ~ dead. Boston has entered into a contest with parties for 100 lectrig lights. The Grand Jury at Washington js still investigating the star route swindles. The President has decided to leave the Fitz. John Porter case entirely with Congress. © Scoville has returned to Washingten, and is hard at work upon his bils of exceptions. ss “It is said that since the commenceement of work on the Panama canal 1,000 of the men have died. Great damage is reported from near New Orleans in consequence of the overflow of the Missiseippi. The President has nominated Moses M. Drew, of Sacramento, to: be United States Marshal for California. nominated by the President to be Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, The funeral of Dr. J. T. Hamilton, at Wheatland on the 14th, was one of the most imposing that ever took place there. The ‘Commercial Advertiser's Washington special asserts that Sar‘gent and Chandler will soon enter the Cabinet. There is a 5,000-feet memorial before Congress askiny the abolition of the tax on bank deposits and thetwocent check stamp. . Many of the best lawyers in Congress, itis said, are of the opinion that Cannon, the Mormon. delegate, cannot legally -be denied his seat. Henry Markham burned his way partially destroying that institution, but was — the next day. A poll-tax of $12 per ra has been assessed upon the 3,000 employes of the Northers Pacific Railroad Company in Montana, which they refuse to pay. It is said that a witness before the Portland, Oregon, Grand Jury testifies that some months ago a mao named Welsh was murdered in the bagnio of Carrie Bradley, the murderer of Brown. It is reported that the Union Pacific Railroad Company has signified its willingness to consolidate with he Central Pacific on a basis of 125 sto 100. Both the Central and Union tPacific are being manipulated to bring about a satisfactory consolidation. ~~ Frank Armstrong, who committed suicide lately in San Francisco, was, itapnedrs, driven tothe act by a crowd of blackmailers. Some years ago in Oregon, while under the influence of liquor, he took a coat belonging to auother person, for which he was convicted. Ever since he had been dogged by ex-convicts, who extorted hush money from him, and their persistency drove him to suicide. HOTEL ARRIVALS, —0.—— NATIONAL ae HOTEL. STANLEY A. EDDY..
