THE lssUE.-Mr. Lansing, in a speech upon
the Broderick resolutions stated that the
contest in this county, at the last election
was squarely made upon the original Kansas
policy of the Administration. This statement
is not true, as Mr. Lansing well knows The
LecomptOn wing of the Democratic County
Convention never endorsed the Kansas poli
cy of the Administration. and during the
canvass their speakers avoided that issue as
much as possible. The burden of their
their speeches was to the effect that Lecomp-
ton was dead issue; that the question could
never again be brought before Congress; that
Douglas had given in his adhesion to the
English bill, and was firm supporter of the
Administration. Mr.. Lansing himself was
an original Leeompton man, although he
frequently admitted that the President was
wrong and that Douglas was right; but he
oeheved the Lecompton measure would be
loreed through Congress, and that those who
opposed it would find themselves outside of
'ee Democratic party; that he had got out
VI the party onoe, and he was determined
NOT to get out again even il he did have ITO
ssuvocate fraud in order 10 prove his party
realty. Two-thirds of Mr.. Lansings sup,port

Nevada County.

The annexed items we Gull from the Neva.
da Democrat, of Wednesday:
MINING.-The mining business has been
seriously interrupted by the heavy storms and
cold weather which has prevailed this win
ter The bitches in the upper portion of the
county were blocked up with snow, after the
first storms, and have afforded but little wa
ter to the miners The snow has been twice
cleared out of the South Yuba Ditch as far
as Omega, and we learn that the miners in
that section now have full supply of water
and have gone to work in earnest The warm
rains of the past few days have extended
high up in the mountains, and the snow,
which has heretofore intercepted the work
ing of the best placer mines in the county, is
rapidly melting off.
AFFRAY.-Wm Barton and man called
"Old Sandy" were playing cards last Sunday
evening, at the Lone Star Saloon, on Com
mercial street. A dispute arose between them
in regard to the game, when Sandy gave
Barton the lie, and the latter struck him.
Sandy immed ately drew bowie knife and
struck Barton two or three times on the face
and breast, inficting severe bruises Luckily,
Sandy was not able to draw the knife out of
the scabbard, or the affray would undoubt
edly have proved fatal. The parties were ar
rested and brought before Justice Smith, on
Monday morning. They plead guilty to the
charge of assault and battery, were fined $40
each, and went their way rejoicing.
ATTEMPT AT BURGLARY About ten o'clock
on Monday night, three men came to the toll
(house, kept by Mr.. Stokes, on the Nevada
and Grass Valley road. They attempted to
open the door, which was locked. The fami
ly had retired for the night, but Mr.. Stokes,
hearing the noise, got up and opened the
door. and found himself facing three men,
one of whoa was holding pistol to his
breast Mr.. Stokes instantly stepped back
and shut the daor Two shots were fired as
he was closing the door, bul luckily did no
damage. Both bullets entered the door and
passed out of a window on the opposite side
of the house, near where Mrs. Stokes was
sleeping. The burglars Immediately after
abe firing, run Off

How the President Lives.

a correspondent of the Boston Courier fur.
nlshes an interesting account of the Presi
dents mansion and his mode of life. from
which we extract the following paragraphs;
10 large majority of the strangers to the
federal metropolis, who visit Washington.
there is no object which excites SO much at
tentlon asthe Executive Mansion. The truth
is, that up to the time of Mr.. Polk, the White
House was not decently furnished Congress
then made an appropriation which, being iu
dlelously expended, improved things some
what After that, no considerable appropri.
alton was made till the year 1858. when
some fifty tholsnnd dollars were appropria-
ted for heating, ventilatng, painting, en-.
largIng, and furnishing the house.
The silver in the house, am told, is mostly
that bought in Paris during the administra.
ton of Mr., Monroe. There are but two or
three pictures in the house. One in the red
room, portrait of Washington, which was
cut from the frame and secured by Mrs Mad
ison when Washington City was occupied bv
the British in the war of 1912; another, in
the Presidents office, a portrait of Bolivar
the South American patriot. There are no
household ornaments about the house. except
vases scattered here and there on mantles.
and articles brought from Japan by Commo-
dore Perry. The White House, in a word.
is furnished more like u hotel than a first
class residence There are articles of use in
abundance, rich and massive but no articles
of art or ornament.
The President receives twenty five thous.
and dollars salary. Next, he receives house.
garden, and stables, free of expense. The
house is furnished and the garden cultivated
by the Government. Every article of furni-
ture necessary is supplied by the United
States. The Government also lights and
heats the house. 1t pays for stewards to take
care OF the public property, and q fireman,
but Tor no other domestic servants. The Ex-
ecutlve otficeis in the Executive mansion.
and for the former the Government provides
private secretary, clerk to the secretary
two messengers, and porter. For all do
mestlc servants, however, except steward
and fireman, the President must paw out Of
his own pocket. lie must ay for his cooks
his butler, his stable servants, female ser
wants, coachmcn, grooms, &c, as any other
person does when he employs such a retinue
of servants. He supplies his table, with the
exception of garden vegetables, as any Other
private citizen does, by his own purse. Sc
with his stables. In short, the only thing
| furnished by the Government, are houses ant
furniture, fuel and lights, steward and fire
man. garden vegetables and flowers. AL
else is matter Of private expense
