DEPRAvITY or THE PREss.-The discussion oi
the action of the Government agents touching
the New Amaden Quicksilver Mines, has given
evidence OF greater amount of dishonesty, in
the conducting of Oertsin newspapers Of the
State, than we had the most remote idea exist
ed anywhere outside of "Newgate," or New
York. According to the s. +. National, all those
papers that oppose the action Of the Govern
ment agents have been bought. On the other
hand such papers as oppose the course pursued
by said agents, charge those which justify said
course with being suborned by the Company.
According to both disputants, they are all sci
of purchased knaves aud tools Is this not O
most disreputable exhibition for leading news
papers to make? Is it not disgrace to the
profession and to the StateY Why cannot
these editors discuss public question like thit
in the manner of gentlemen Why do they not
reason together instead Of charging each other
with dishonorable motives? Or has 1t come tc
this, that IL editors cannot see question al
others see It, they are to denounoe them as dis
honest ?-Shasta Courier.

STAYING WAsTE.-Upon the allegation of liza
bility to waste, and the necessity of staying il
by injunction, in the New Almadcn niue case
the San Jose Tribune says: t....
The object of the injunction laid upon the
operations Mt New Almaden, ia to ''stay waste ,
aud to preserve for the claimant to whom tn
Courts shall award the proprietorship, the ricl
profits supposed TO be constantly flowing from
the mines. 1t go happens, however, that the
present company have for some time past been
carrying on several of those gigantic improve
ments for which they have become famous, such
as the new road up the mountain, and especial
ly the new tunnel on the northeastern side of
the hill, which, when completed, will effectu-
ally drain the mines for a century to come.
The expenditure attendant upon these improve
ments by far exceeds the profits of the mines;
80 that the company have constantly been sink
ing money in their operations, and that large
ly, instead of accumulating it. The generosity
of the outsiders in interfering to stay this waste
of capital on the part of the company who,
they fear, will not be allowed to reap the bene-
lit Of the investment, is highly commendable-
if they were aware of the facts.

The GAMBLING DRNs OF WAsHINarcN.-The
Washington correspondent Of the Philadelphia
North Ameriean makes the following serious
statements:
"These gambling resorts have increased fear
fully ct Washington within the last ten years,
and it is SO notorious that they have done more
to demoralize legislation than all the other de-
basing and corrupting Influences which have
been brought to bear upon weak, venal, or
needy members of Congress. was deeply i'm.
pressed by the silent but eloquent witnesses of
this fact when the drawers of Pendleton's desk
were opened, yesterday, and numerous bills,
relating to schemes before Congress. were ex-
posed to public view The misery and wretch
edness and degradation inflicted upon men aud
families by these bells are appalling, and even
the imperfect disclosures which have reached
me, accidentally, exhibit state Of morals in
Congress which would astonish the country, II
exposed, Some of these gamblers, aud others
who are concerned as capitalists with them, are
openly employed as lobby agents, from their
supposed ability to control votes through obli-
cations incurred by members, and the fact Is
one of common town talk, that their tables are
the daily resort OF u large class of such voters,
in preference 20 the hotels. This thing has as
suIned that serious shape when publicity be-
comes duty; for, strange as IL may seem, the
influence has SO ramited that it was feared, at
one time, in the early stages of the Kansas
struggle, last session, when the House was
nearly equally divided, that the scale would be
turned by turn Of the screw upon particular
members who were known to be in the power
of the gamblers. 1t may well be asked where
are we drifting, when such things can be, and

THE MISSION SAN JosE.-A correspondent of
the Stockton Argus writes thus from the Mis-
sion San Jose
"The Mission Church, built by the Jesuits in
1907, is the object of attraction to all who visit
the town. Its proportions and the manner in
which it is built, resemble very much the
churches erected upon other Mexican grounds
along the Pacific coast at about the same peri
cd. Attached to it are long rows of adobe
buildings, used in primitiye days as granaries
and workshops. but now nearly all tenantless
and rapidly falling to decay. The Mission is
now supported by Mexicans In the vicinity, who
resort to it on Sundays and other holy-days as
in times past. The present Cnrate is a French
man, whom the Mexcans dislike, and have al
most unanimously subscribed to petition to
the Archbishop for his removal and the rein
statement of o former Curate, q boyish.looking
Mexican, with delicate mOustache and flne per-
sonal appearance, and popular throughout the
parish for the good quality of his cigarltos and
the liberality he manifests in their distribution
among his flock.

MILITARY PROTECTION TO THE OVERLAND

San Francisco Bulletin says "thc subject Of ad-
ditiona protection to the overland route has

tary of War, and be has formally declared his
intention to put it into effect. The illness of
Mr.. Floyd has, however, delayed the publica-
ton of a regular army order descriptive of the

First Infantry is now moving from Fort Leav-

The SOLAR EcLIPsE.-Leut. Gillis, sent out
by our Government to observe the solar eclipse

observations. A gentlemen who accompanied

OUTRAGE on THE PLAINs.-A correspondent
of the st. Louis Republican, writing from Gil
bert's Station, South Pass, Nov. 22d, relates
the following:
On the 3Oth ult., Mr.. E. II. Foote, young
man from Napleton, Iowa. returning home from
Salt Lake City, overlook at this place two U. 5.
wagon teamsters, named Jack Wilson and Har-
vey Riley, on their way to the States. They
assented to a proposition he made to travel
with them, but not being ready to start, he
went about mile ahead on the Seminoe road,
and there waited until they caught up, which
they shortly did, when Wilson Informed Foote
they would blow his brains out if he travelled
With them. Foote turned to come back to the
Station, whereupon Riley drew revolver, and
compelled him to give up his horse, which he
drove some distance from the road. lie and
his brother ruffian then commenced firing on
the young man, who, having no weapon with
which to defend himself, pulled off bis boots
and coat, and started to run, his pursuers firing
at him oil the time. He finally reached his
horse. and made good his escape to this place
Some fifteen or eighteen shots we're fired, but
happily, only one took effect, aud that in the
1eshy part of the thigh, and coming out just
above the knee. The shooting was plainly
heard at this place, and how he escaped death
is a miracle. He is still confined 10 his bed,
but will soon be able to follow on after them
and bring them to justice. They took from
him gold watch, coat, gloves and boots, but
did not succeed in getting his money, which
was evidently their object.
