She Duily Transcript 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 Wednesday evening were more than om . dangerously wounded,” first he said: ing you and I have listened to toMurdering Chinese. . 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 . . amp was the one occupied by Joseph . ‘Gray’s Chinamen, and is situated 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 eubin was surrounded, saturated 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 they know concerning the murderers, They regard-itas thebeginning — of: an outbreak on the. part of’ the whites; Their fears are entirely groundless, however, for the citizens. of, Truckee are as greatly incensed, over the matter as though the victims had: beea Americins. The fiendish, cowardly. act receives unmeasured. denunciation, and every effort is: being made to ferret out the participants, The belief of most of the citizens is that the deed was committed by some of. the idle, dis-' solute vagabouds whofrequent our town, There wus not the slightes; provocation op justification, and a eolder blooded murder-was never 16 corded, The party afterwards pro ceedei to another China camp, set iton fire and shot at the Chinamen as they ran.out of the burning buildings, One Chinamen received a full charge of shot in. his eg and thigh. Dr. Curless has removed many of the shot and otbers remain buried too deep to be reached. The doctor reports that the man is not so Speeqh from the President. 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 lull inthe noisy demonstration, “‘Géntlemen—aAfter all the epéakThe Trackee Republican gives the following particulars of the murdering of a Ghinaman near that place “Our “about a mile and.a half from Truckee, men came-and forbid them working. of miles away on every conceivable “In California throughout the Paci. 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 by people hundreds, aye, thousands The Bonanza King: The Philadelphia Inquirer says: tiele on that gentleman published in . }and night twenty-five golden -deHurs-. — ‘come of nearly $3,000,000 a month, . the pleasantest and cleverest in his night —for I was with you at your Ratification meeting—you can not ‘wish, even if I wasaspeuker, to hear anything from me; but I can not . withhold my approval-of—the-excel-} lent ticket given you by the Nationdelighted, There was a very fair audience, and every act of the per-. formers drew from them raptarous applause.: Prof. Keller is. one of . pretence, a Washington womaa recenily wrote to Mackey that her daughter had been slandered, and she requested him to forward $1,500 to hire counsel to take matters into ~ Vine of business: Ling Look isa regular fire eater, and his feats are perfectly wonderfnl.
