An Eastern dispatch says there /ja much rejoicing: in Washington ' Over the Repablican : victory amony the thoysaads of Government émployes aud their political friends. Vhe Republican Congressional Com* mittee now tiyure up the gains made / jn the -Republican membership in the next Howse of Representacives about as ‘tullows: Onio 6,’ Indiana 2, Peiusylvauia 1, Louisiana 1, 'Pennessee 2; Counecticut 1, Lilinois 2, Iowa 2, Kentucky 1, Masseuri 2, “New Jersey 1, Virginia 1,” Wisconwin}, ‘luis makes a-gatn-of 23 mem bers,. Tu otfset this, however,* the Democrats are feported to have gained ‘two Cotigressmen in New York, Lia ‘Ponusylvania, 1 in Ualifornia, wiicu deducted trom the 23. believed to be gained by the Republicans, make a total Repudiicaa gain of 18, ‘Chis gain, if veritied by the oificial .igures, wi.l secure to the Republicans the control of the or. Ganizatioa of the next House by “a clear majority of 18 over’ Democrats and -Greenbackers combined, and . give them 7 more than a majority of the entiré membership of 293. The New York Lribuie’s calculation on Congress gives the -Republicans 163; Democrats 125. Repybli‘gan supremacy, is sure. Several districts are classed doubtful. The “loss of California (?) and Nevada, makes a Democratic Senate prob"able. ee ‘Figuring on Cross. Some of our Democratic: friends 3 were figuring on fhe Assembly re-~ turns yesterday and occording to their showing Cross had received 11 more votes than Patterson. On the other hand, some of the well posted and mathematically inclined Repub‘dicans made an estimate that brought Patterson ont 34 votes! ahead of his opponent, The odds are considerably in favor of Patterson, we are sure, but it will require the official count to settle the question definite— ly. Inthe meantime it will be in order for the friends of both sides to put up their coin on the result, as there is enough uncertainty to make betting interesting. a Noble Words. . The following noble words from our President-elect, James A. Garfield, seem as fitting upon this occasion as upon that for which they were first uttered: ‘‘After the storms of battle were heard the sweet, calm words of peace spoken by the conquering nation,and saying tothe conquered foe that lay prostrate at its feet, ‘This is our only revenge, that you join us in lifting into the serene firmament of the Constitution, to shine like stars forever and ever, the geand principl ethat all men, white -‘or black,«shall be free ‘and stand @ ual before the law.” . “The Whole Hog.” Yesterday morning Prof. C,H. _Crowell, principal of the scheol, at ‘Rough and Ready (and .a stalwart R:publican by the way), sent tS. H. Dikeman of that place, who -i alsoa staunch supporter of the ation, a dressed pig accompanied by the following written message: 8S. H. Drkeman.—Dear Sir. — Please accept this pig. I send it :to youin honor of our late political victory, knowing that on the Repablican side you always go ‘‘the whole hog.” Yours very respect— tully, C. H. Ceowsut. Exposes Its Ciaws, The Free Lance now boasts that it i: 4 nou-partisan paper, yet it persists in putting the word Nation in quotation marks whien it refera to the United States by that term, The Free Lance is badly taiutedwith the same spirit that actuated the South to go to war with}the North.

The Tale,of an Early Day Incident that Act#aly Occurred 1” the ‘Mountains. : “Do I remember when Tem the ‘Tinker fust struck + Wal], I should remark I did,” : The above was the response of an old-timer to the query of the TRANscript reporter who tackled him yesterday for the purpose of getting together some of the. early-day legends about the camp. “Yes, I remember Tom ‘the Tink~ he popped on our visious was a cau~ tion,” continued the venerable pio-— neer. ‘‘There was about a hundred or more of usduwn in the bar-room of the hotel where I stopped, and . . we was waiting impatiently for grub. You see thar was sliding doors be‘tween the bar-room and the dininghall. They was a'ways kept locked till the hash was on the tables fora meal, and then. when they “was throwed open we used to rush in like a pack of coyotes. When business was’ good there was’ always about twenty-five more boarders than pla es, and those who got in last had to eat at secoud table. Wall, on the day in quéstion we all stood thar jammed up as clus to the doors as we could git. We were packed-in thar like sardines, waiting for the doofh.i9.apen so we. could rush in and fill our hungry stomachs. Stiddeiily a red-shirted—cuss, six feet high and fiery “eyed; withx kit of miner’s tools strapped on his back and a big bowie in -his hand, sprang in the front way flourishing his weepot and “yelling, “‘Let me at the ! Let nre get at the --—-+-— jest one minnit!” He was headed straight for them dining room doors, and: it was amusin’ to see the hungry boarders scramble out of the ferocious stranger’s way, crying to their fellow miners, , ‘Look out for the emigrant, yeu fellows thar at the tother end of the room.’ ‘Weal naterally thought he was on the’war path, and it didn’t take wa a York iminnit to cleara path for him. Oneor two-of us tried to grab him ai he rushed past, but he threw us offeasily. The minnit he reached the sliding “doors he quit yelling, the furious. look lefthis face, and sheathing his knife he remarked to us with a smile and alow bow, ‘Thank you, gentlemen. I feared that I might be compelled to wait for the second table.’ It was Tom the Tinker, as we afterwards learned, dod-rot him. — At first-we talked of lynching him for the trick he played on us, but by and by we got cooled down and had a hearty laugh over the affair, Tom the Tinker (he ig now one of the most prominent citizens of the Coast and might feel ashamed to see his name printed in. this story) always had the respect! of the boys after that day that he introduced himself so forcibly to us.” : : Paidinto the Treasury.

A Scotchman's Answer. Mr. Spurgeon recently told the following anecdote as he gave ~ut the anthem. To appreciate the story, it must be remembered that Scotch Presbyterians, with few exceptions, ‘sing only thé Psalms of David : A high churchman and a Scotch Presbyterian minister had been a’ the same church. ‘The.former asked the latter if he did not like the ‘‘Introits,” He replied, ‘I don’t know what an introit, is.” The difficulty heretofore” éxiatiiig between the City Trustees and: Mr. Lones regarding the former opening a street from Commercial to Pine through the property of the latter has finally been amicably adjusted. The contending parties agreed at a special meeting of the ‘Trustees held Thursday evening that each should select one arbitrator to: set a price on the property, and if they could not agree those two should chonse a third one, Mr. Lones gave bands in the sum of $1,000 to abide the decisign, whatever it might be. The ‘Trustees appointed Geo, “F. Jacobs as their representative, and Mr. Lo-~ nes selected J. H. Hamiltsn. These two met yesterday morning. The former was of the:opinion that. $300 . was a sufiicient price for the, thirty feet of land, while the latter’s figures were $400, They could not agree upon the matter between themselves, and called in N. P. Brown, who co— incided with Mr, Jacobs by apprais— ing the property at $300, which sum was forthwith paid over to Mr. Lones by the city, the transfer was made and the suit in’ the Superior Court dismissed. : Completion of the Danas.

I can understand now, if David sung it-at that time, why Saul threw his javelin at him.” This was followed by a loud peal of laughter, when Mr. Spurgeon said, ‘‘Now let us sing the anthem.” Election News. ’ CALIFORNIA. San Francisco, Nov. 5th, 10:30 a. M.—-his mornming’s papers make the vote of this State practically a tie. This change from last night's. report is due less to any turn in report of precincts, than-to the revision of tabulated statements. These differ considerably. There’ are evidences of loose work stifticient to discredit all estimates. Undoubtedly the estimate of two thousgnd last night was too high, and best opinion now .seems to be that Garfield will have a plurality of from 500 to 1,000. x NEVADA, " Virarnta Cres, Nov. 5th, 10:30 a.
