Perpetual MorIoN.-Some years since Mr.
j g. Hendrickson, Of this county, invented a
perpetual motion machine, for which he was
much ridiculed and even apprehended on a
warrant by his ~neighbors, and his machine de-
stroyed. He, however, reconstructed it, and
set it again in motion; since which time, it has
been going successfully. The Journal of
Commerce" says that two or three days since
Hendrickson came into their " Office with the
same patient, thoughtful face, and holding in
his hand the old invention in a new dress.-
He had made it this time Of brass ribs, so that
there is nothing concealed, and no place of
concealnent; and in spite Of his prosecutors,
it will go! He has attached to it a simple
clock, and this machine furnishes the motive
power. How far this power can be extended,
it is not for us to say; but we must believe our
eyes, and we once more assert that the ma
chine will go Of itself.n

FonED AGAIN.-From the reports in cireu-
lation. it would appear that the Administrator
is again mistaken IN the man, BY sending
Gen. Denver to supercede Walker, as Govern
or of Kansas. A correspondent Of the Repup-
lican, writes from Western Port, Missouri:
Mr.. Denver arrived here last week. and will
enter upon the discharge of bis official duties
to-day. The people seem very much prejudieed
against him, because he comes here at this
time to supersede Mr.. Stanton. From what
| can learn Of him / am sure that the Presi-
dent has made nothing by the exchange, for
it'll ) understood that Mr.. Denver indorses all
the official acts Of both Governor Walker and
Secretary Stanton, even to the convening of
the extra session Of the Legislature. The
truth is, the President, nor no man outside Of
Kansas, is qualified to advise fully how to act
here.n

SOUND ON THE MAIN QUESTION N.-During the
recent session of the Grand Jury, committee
Of five of their number was appointed to visit
the county hospital, and report as to the condi-
tion Of that institution. While examining the
building, they found in one Of the rooms o sick
negro, who had been sent to the hospital by an
order of the County Supervisors. A majority
Of the committee were Of the opinion that q
negro had NO business in the county hospital
and they accordingly ordered him to be taken
out Dr. Wickes, the county physician, was
absent at the time, and the assistants at the
hospital, supposing that the committee were
clothed with absolute powers, carried the ne
gro and the bed on which he was lying out Of
the building They subsequently Informed DIR.
Wickes that they could not, on their oaths as
Grand Jurors, report that the hospital was con-
dusted on proper principles, while sick negro
was under the same roof and receiving the same
treatment as sick white men; that they had or
dered the negro out Of the building, but were
perfectly willing he should be taken back as
soon as they made out their report. So the
committee reported that every thing was right
about the hospital, aud the negro went back to
his old quarters. The members of that com.
mittee are evidently "sound on the main quss-
tion."

ORIENTAL QUARTZ MILL.-We are pleased to
learn that this mill, located on Deer creek, about
two miles above Nevada, is now in successful
operation. AT hrst, more or less difficulty was
experienced, but latterly the management has
fallen into hands of Mr.. Almarin B. Paul, ex-
clusively, who has given things complete over
hauling, and we find the mill improved in many
particulars The district in which the mill is
located abounds in good paying leads, and we
doubt not under its present management that it
will prove highly remunerative to the proprie-
tors. Between forty and fifty tons of rock from
the Deadwood lead. owned by Messrs. Allen,
Green q Williamson, was crushed at this mill
last week, which paid about forty dollars ton.
The owners Of the Deadwood lead have about
one hundred and fifty tons more quarried out
which they are satisfied will pay much better
than that recently crushed Several other leads
in the vicHity Of the Oriental mill have been
opened and are known 10 be valuable. -

Editor Of the Democrat In your last issue you
published the decision rendered by myself, as
Referee in the case of Deitz We. Turney, without
word showing upon whose request you done
90. In so publishing that report, you done me
injustice, and furnished at the same time an oc-
casion for an envious dog to snarl at me
through the columns OF the Journal. The decis-
ion was published without my request or wish,
aud defy any enemy have to give an iu-
stance in my whole life, in which vanity has led
me to intrude upon the public by word spoken
or written. HENRY MEREDITH.
As Mr.. Meredith imagines we done him an in
justice in publishing the decision without stating
at whose request it was done, we take the first
opportunity to make every reparation in our
power. After the decision was rendered, one
of the attorneys in the case requested us to pub
lish it. The report was then on file in the
Clerks office, and was public property We pro-
cured it from the Office, and published it, with
out No. Meredith's knowledge or consent, and
in fact, during his absence from town.

OREGON PoLrrCs.-Thc steamer Panama
from Oregon, arrived at the Bay last Saturday
with later news from the north. The intelli
gsnce is not important. Politics ia all the rage
in Oregon ct the present time, and the several
parties are marshaling their forces for the elec-
tion which takes place in June. The Demo
cratic party lie divided into two factions, one
called the Federal wing and the other the Ma
tional wing. The Federals stick to caucus
nominees, and the Nationals oppose nomina-
tions, which is about the only difference we can
distinguish between the two wings. At an cleo
tion held in Portland April 5th for Municipal
officers the Nationals were successful. The Re-
publican convention met at Salem recently,
and nominated John Denny for Governor, and
J. R. Mcbride for Congress. The Democrats
will doubtless have two tickets in the field, but
neither Of the wings have yet made their nomi-
nations.

REMOVAL OF THE CAP1TAL.-The joint commit
tee of the Senate and Assembly, appointed to
visit the city of Oakland, and ascertain the ad-
vantages Of that place for the permanent loca-
tion of the State Capital, have given highly
poetical description Of the quiet suburban city.
The Assembly committee are in favor of the
removal the Senate committee merely report
the facts without making any recommendation.
1t is stated that majority of the members of
both Houses are in favor Of removal, but we
cannot believe that such is the case. When the
question was Rrst broached we looked upon it
as joke, and even yet are inclined to regard
il in that light. Should the present Legislature
pass an act removing the Capital to Oakland,
the people Of the State will make ar order next
September TO remove it back to Sacramento,
for it can never be permanently located south
of that city.

Gre burned very slow, giving the citizens time
to remove their more valuable effects. Very

NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL IA, 1858
Congressionai elections.

A bill to postpone the election Of Congress-
men until next year, was passed in the Assem-
bly, last Saturday. This, it occurs to us, is q
very unwise measure. We cannot see the pro-
priety Of postponing the election Of members OF
the House of Representatives until six or eight
months after the expiration Of the terms Of their
predecessors. In nearly every State of the Un-
ion Congressman are elected at the last general
election bsfore the close Of each Cengrsss,
which is the proper time Should the bill pass
the Senate, II will remain on the Statute until
some year we are deprived Of Representatives
at an extra session of Congress, when 1t will be
again changed. At the extra session, called by
Gen. Harrison in 1s41, nearly all the Western
States were unrepresented in the House. The
time Of election was changed IN those States
Immediately after, and they will never again be
caught mapping. s.a
The State Journal, with its usual astuteness
considers the favoring Of the postponement
test of Democracy. 1t is somewhat surprising
that all the Democratic States should have 30
long disregarded this Democratic principle. II
the editor of the Journal keeps on manufactur-
ing Democratic tests, he will End himself even
tually standing solitary and alone, the great
embodiment Of the Democratic party.

BREAKING OF EEsERvoIR.--A reservoir. 10
Gated on the ground formerly known as Fitz-
simmons ranch, Bridgeport township, belong
ing to the Shady Greek Co., broke away last
Friday night The water in the reservoir COW
cred several hundred acres and the embank-
nent at the place where il broke was forty feet
high. The reservoir was nearly full OF water,
and Of course an immense quantity was wasted.
The water was being collected for the purpose
of using it during the summer, and the damage
is estimated at thirty thousand dollars. which
will fall exclusively on the company. Great
exertions were made on Friday night to let on
the water through the waste gates, but they
were not able to let it off fast enough to save
the reservoir. The embankment broke at the
head of ravine, and the immense volume OF
water which rushed down to the Yuba, carried
with il all the gravel and boulders in the ravine,
leaving the bed rock in many places, perfectly
bare 1t is said that the construction of the res
ervoir cost about one hundred thousand dollars.
Messrs. Pollard Eddy were the principal own
ere.

MURDER.-On yesterday morning the Sheriff
received intelligence that a man by the name OF
Porter had been mortaly wounded on the light
previous at Allison's Ranch. John O'Brien
was deputized to arrest the party charged with
having inflicted the wound, who started from
the city about three o'clock in the afternoon.
On reaching Allison's Ranch, O'Brien found q
large number of the friends of the accused
gathered in and around a barn, who declared
that he should not be taken. The officer re-
turned to Grass Valley for the purpose of OBJ
tanning posse leaving John Allison the con-
stable of Grass Valley township to watch the
prisoner. A number Of the citizens immed-
ately joined the posse, aud started back towards
the scene of disorder but on arriving within a
fourth of a mile of Allson's, they met Mr.. ALI
son with the prisoner coming towards Grass
Valley. After O'Brien left Cullen, the accused,
aud his friends seem to have yielded to better
counsels and concluded to surrender 10 the au-
thorties. He was lodged in Jail last night to
await an examination. Porter we learn died
sometime during the forenoon of yesterday.

NEVADA RrFIEs.--The Nevada Rifles turned
out on Saturday last for grand target excur-
tion. The day was hne, and their rapkn were
full The ground chosen was within the cOrpO-
rate limits of the city, on what is known as
'tAristocracy Hill.' There was barely room
enough for the Rifles to display their efficiency
in drill, but ample to show their skill in shoot
ing and their carelsssness for rough ground
while executing rapid evolutions Could the
enemies Of our country have seen the Rifles,
after few weeks training perform, they (the
enemies sforssaid,) would never take to the
mountains to keep out Of danger. The company
were dressed in their tasteful " fatigue dress
to wit: black pants, grey overshirt, and navy
caps COL l. Williamson, Of Brigadisr General
o. @. Halls staff, acted as commissary on the
occasion, and with great efficiency, as the in
vited guests and members Of the company all
testify. J. G. Malbon, under whose supervision
the company has been drilled, commanded, as
sisted by Capt. Shoemaker and Lieut. Phil
Moore. 7. B. Mcfarland, A. A. Sargent and
N. P. Brown, Esqs., Judge Caswell, Col. Cren-
shaw, and Judge Hupp acted as Judges Of The
target shooting. s-aiar- M
The prizes were First prize, gold medal
given by Capt Shoemaker. Second prize, .
silver medal, given by H. Mersd it'll; aud a lsath
er medal given by LIST 1t. Phil. Moore.
The shooting was excellent, considering tina
the guns used were q. s. muskets, under sus
picion by the members Of the company thai
they had been condemned years ago. The dis
tance was sixty PAGES. First Sergeant, J. Benz
Van Hagan won the first prize, having made the
three best shots Private W. F. Anderson won
the second prize, and Private WIN. Smith, amid
great app lause, proved himself entitled to the
the leather medal. A. G. Niles, in neat and
appropriate speech, presented the first prize
Geo. S. Hupp presented the second, and David
Belden the leather medal The speeches were
received with great applause by the large mum.
Der present on the occasion, and added greatly
to the hilarity Of the affair. f..
Our report would be imperfect did we moi
mention that Private Searls (His Honor the Dis.
trct Judge) and Captain Shoemaker made des
perate efforts to win the leather medal, and each
lost il only by very small distance. Private
Sol. Lewis made the best single shot, and Pri
vate G. G. Van Hngsn the second best. We
heard numbers Of old soldiers declare that worse
shooting had been made by old campagners
The excursion was impromptu, almost, and re-
fleets great credit on the managers while the
fine appearance Of the Rifles has caused our
citizens to regard the company as one of the
permanent institutions of the town.
