NEVADA CITY, CAL.
He
a. Frirlay. ‘Jane 23, 1876,
: Onldwell’s Telegrams,
Blaine has baffled his persecutors
atevery point, if he did lose the
; Presidential. prize through the ac*, ° tlon'of his ‘friends. There was a
great cry and a general rour from all
parts of the Union, when it was discovered that a telegram had been
sent to Culdwell, in England, asking
iim to corroborate Scott’s testimony
ju relation to Blaine never “having .
_ reecived Little Rock railroad bonds,
Hero are the dispatches, and it will
_ be soon by their pertsal what cause
there was for the noise made about
_ the matter. They were, with others,
brought before the committee on
the 19th:
(Telegram No. 1.} Washington;
May 26—To Josiah Caldwell, Lonig England—See Scott’s testimo-ny in papers of the 26th, and telegraph to Scott at Philadelphia, as
ae you truthfally oan, the strongest en_ : doreement of hig statement
iar te A, P. Rosrnsow.
The following answer was reeeived,and is the one, we believe, which
_ Blaine demanded from the commithe tee, but which they wanted to suppress until ‘after the Cincinnati Convention,
. Received at Western Baion Building, Biadway and Dey streets,
May 31, 1876, Fabo, London.—
Dispatch received. Cable this im.
mediately to the Chairman of the
House Judiciary Committee, Washington: ‘Have just read Scott’s evi2 denée-about our bond transaction in
New York papers, and fully corrob~~ fate it. IT never paid Biaine any
Little Rock bonds directly or otherwise. Am now building threo European Yailroads, and cannot leuve
without great pecuniary loss,or would
gladly volunturily come home and
testify. Can muke affidivit to that
effect and mail it if desired; {Not
signed. ] ‘Philadelphia.
In substantiation of the above
Blaine recoived on the 15th the folae a Totter. which oo explains
‘No. 115 Gaenck” street, London,
E, O,, dane &th, 1876. Hon J. G.
Bisine—Dear sir:—I read in the
New York papers of 16th ultimo
QGolonel Scott,s evidence before the
Congressional Committee, aud I at
once cabled. to him as follows:
2 ae -“Phomas A.: Scott, Philadelphia.—
Your statement before the Congressional Committee on the 15th,. relating tothe Fort Smith Railway
bonds which you purchased of me,
» ie ectly correct. I can more fully substantiate this, if necessary,"
‘A have algo cabled to the Chairman
of the Jndiciary Committee, I am
sorry that 1 am not able to. per_sonally appear before the Commit‘ e'and ‘give my testimony; but I
— ~presume~that Colonel Seott’s evidence will be sufficient to prove that
you had nothing to dé-with tbe transaction in question. If you wish for!
any further evidence or afidavit
° ffom me to prove the facts as cabled
to the Committee, I shall be glad to
; forward it, under oath. Tne chur.
sana 68 are so void of foundation that I
neve no fear of their bearing you any
yecewast injury, and I hope that
péersecutors will be able to
psy a record as clean as yours in
connection with the Little Rock and
Fort Smith Railroad,
Yours, faithfully,
Jostan CaLDWwDLL.
What tack next will be taken, re» mains to be seen. It is evident how}
ever that Blaine is a hard nut for
Demoocrats to crack, if he was deee teated before the nominaling Convenation, As there will be no object to
be gained, by pushing the investigation further in his case, it will
probably be abandoned.
The Royal Hilasionists,
The appearance of this famous
troupe in onr city proved what bas)
been claimed for them, and all who}
Witnessed their “performance ow

a few days since. It says:
town was thrown into a fever of ex
citement last Sunday morning by
the néws that an assault had: been.
made On a ‘Chihese camp _ near
. Truckee, and that one Chinaman
had been shot and killed. It wa
subsequently ascertained that’ the .

The mob was half a dozen unknown
white men. The Chinawen have
beew engaged in cutting wood and
were peaceably pursuing their business-on Saturday, when four white
The sume men came again and repested the order. The Chinaimen
disregarded the commands. “About
one o'clock Sunday morning the

with coal cil and“set-on-fire‘The
Chinamen, awoke, and finding the
house was on fire, one of their number ran out and began throwing witeron the flames. Ho was almost,
immediately fired upon and fatally
wounded. A charge of shot entered
his body tearing a large, ugly hole.
The muzzle of. the gun must have
been very elese-to him when the
shot was fired. The other inmates
of the cabin rushed forth greatly tertified, and the concealed rudians
commenced shooting at them. A
bullet grazed another Chinaman’s
head leaving’a flesh wouiid. . Eleven
shots were fired by the white men,
The cabin was burned to sshes together with all its, contents, No.
clue to the murderers has been discovéred, and there is no hope that
the perpetrators will be detected.
Fhe dead man was brought to town
Sunday afternoon, and on Monday
an iuquest was held by Justice J. 0. .
Walker, The coroner’s verdict appears in another column, . ‘The Chihamen are afraid to tell even what

over the matter as though the victims had: beea Americins. The
fiendish, cowardly. act receives unmeasured. denunciation, and every

Grant '‘made.a speech June 20th, in
indorsement of Hayes and Wheeler.
The serenaders from the ratification
meeting at the City Hall, after paying Blaine the compliment of a visit,
directed'their course to the White
House, on the baléony of which the
President soon appeased in response
to the music of the Marime band and
the cheers of the crowd. When opportunity wae offered him. by the

fie slope-no men are bette? known
than the ‘‘Bonanza Kings,’ Messrs.
Flood; O’Briep, Fair and Mackey,
the . Owners and operators of
the*great Virginia City mines in
Nevada. Thesé four mining princes
are expected soon in this city, and
will visit the Exposition. They will
‘be centres of attraction in theEast
as well as in-the far West, where
they are well known and respected.
Tn this connection the following letter will be read. with interest:
“Tn view of the stupendous wealth
of the’bonanza mines, the questiox
Often. ovears to—me, what will be
the eventful limit of the wealth
ofthe four gentlemen popularly
known-as the “Bonanza Kings?”
People who have watched their—fortunes with critical eyes aver that
they are now worth in money and
property upward of $100,000,000. It
is ‘a common remark here that
Mackey-has an income of $800,000,
gold,a month, Since the California Mine commenced paying dividends it must have -yielded at least
'§150, 000.to his monthly income, I
think I may say. that his monthly income ig in round numbers a million
of dollars. J.do not.ask you to accept my bare statement as a fact,
but beg to call your attention to the
following extracted. bibgraphical -arSan_ Francisco. seme-time ago,
It has been circulated; in regard
to the total income of the youngest
of the. quartette of the'*BonanzZaPrinces,’’ that each minute of the day
drop into his pocket with mechanjgal
and— monotonous: regularity. Mr.
Mackey owns three-eights of the-famous Bonanza mines, from which
his income is estimated to be over
$800,000 per month, — pie
James G. Fair’s income is not leks
than $600, 000 per month; Flood’s,
$750,000; O’Brien’s, $500,000.. Now
here are four men with a gross inevery one of them hard Working,
practical business men. With $100,000,000 ahead already and a yearly
income of: $36,000,000, I think it is
safe to put them down in January,
1879; as the richest quartette in the
world. The question is frequently
asked, what will Mackey do with his
fortune? People seem to forget the
more money a man has the more
uses, he finds for it. Ofall the people on this coast, Mackey himself is
the least anxious about finding a use
for his money.
I noties in the letters of corres~. pondents & widespread error im re-}-~
gard to all these men, It is generally believed by. Eastern people who.
have read of the wondorful fortanes
of the *‘Bonangza Kings," that they
have been acquired within the past
year, and thatnone of them were
comfortably fixed: before ‘the developments of the Consolidated Virginia mine. This is all a mistake.
Plood and O’Brien were worth $200000 en years ago, and: they have
kept adding to it ever since, Fair
was worth balfa million seven years
ago, and Mackey had been a millionaire long before the Consolidated
Virginia mine was dreamed of. I
make these corrections for the benefit of such innocents as think the
millionaire quartette have nothing to
do but to throw $20 gold pieces at
every person who takes it into bis or
her head to write begging letters to
them,
‘It would-net be beliéved that there
are such arrant fools in the world as
some of the letters here prove the
writers to be, Money is asked for
