!. The Democratic Icst.-The State
Central Committee of the Administra-
ton party moi at Sacramento to pro-
mulgate the law to the masses, as to
their rights and duties, few days
since. 1t was determined to recon-
mend to the county committees the
establishment of the test that no one
should take part in the primary meet
ings unless he voted fer a majority of
the State ticket headed by Latham,
last fall. An attempt to exclude from
participation in the primary meetings
all who voted for Baker and Mckib-
ben was voted down by large ma
iority. 1t was resolved that con-
vention assemble at Sacramento on
the goth day of February to elect del
egates 20 the Convention to assemble
at Charleston, S. G. on the 23d day
of April next. Nevada has nineteen
votes in the Sacramento Convention

Gi6ra7ta, and Ma7a.-The Eng
iish strong holds in the Mediterranean
are Malta and Gibraltar Gibraltar
was Captured by the British from
Spain in 1904, and though many eff
forts have been made since to retake
it. Great Britain has held possession
of it ever since In 1872, combin-
ed attack by the French and Spanish
was made upon It with en- army of
10000 men and loco pieces of artil-
lerv; AZ sail of the line, all three
deckers: 10 Aoating-batteries. carry
ing two hundred and twelve guns;
trigates, xebeques, bontb-ketches, cut
tere, and gun and mortar boats. Gen
eral Elliott beat the lard forces in
sortie, and the naval forces were dis
persed, and floating batteries destroy
ed. Gibraltar has long been consid-
cred impreguable. Regular siege
lines cannot be opened against it. for
the simple reason that there are no
materials for earth-works within Bat
tering range; and even if they were
once erected, there is nothing to bat
ter but solid rock, breach in which,
would only render the storming more
impracticable than ever Moreover,
owing to the immense elevation of the
place, it is impossible to prevent as
sai,ants from any quarter from being
completely overlooked and exposed
to the vertical fire of tie garrison,
without possibility of returning to
it. Malta is also considered impreg-
nable against any attack by sea by
anv armament in use. 1t vas capt.

in June, 1898, but continued in the
possession of the French but short
time. having been blockaded by a
British squadron and taken by Gen.
Pigot in 1900.
Malta has ever since been in the
hands of Britain, and was guaranteed
her by the treaty of Paris. The
Ioniau Islands, situated along the
Eastern coasts of the Adriatic, were
eapsure6 from France in 1909, by
British fleet. In 1915 the islands
were placed by the Congress of Wen
ma under a British protectorate, in
which condition they have ever since
remained. On the island of Corfu
there is a fortress Of very great
strength, supposed to be next to i'm
pregnable. Franco will have to dig
lodge England from these possessions
before the former can make the Med
iterranean a French lake, the sup
posed object of Louis Napoleon's am
bit;dn, and the purpose probably of
the great preparations which are be-
ing made in France.

The COMING ECLiPsE.-The total
eclipse of the 18th of next July will
be very importantsone to tie seien+
tiic world. The Director of Dorpa.
Observatory was the first to remark
that at the moment of observation four
of the principal planets-Venus, Mer-
curry, Jupiter aud Satun-will ap-
pear in the vicinity of the eclipsed sun
as kind of rhumboidal figure a
phenomena of such extraordinary
rarity that many centuries will elapse
before its repetition. Darkness will
commence and terminate on the land,
the localities being California and the
shores of the Red Sea. Between
these extreme points the eclipse will
be visible in North America, from
whence the moons shadow will pass
across the Atlantic, and traverse
Spain total darkness including she
following important towns in that
country Oviede, st. Vincent, Sam
tander, Bilboa, Vittoria, Burgess, Pam
peluna, Saragpssa and Valencia
The lius of totality will then cross
the Mediterranean and enter Africa,
passing across Algiers, Bezan,
Tozer, Sockna, Sebba. Goddona anS
Mourzuk. Thus, although this re-
markable eclipse will not be total in
any part of the United Kingdom, it

Mr.. Postmaster nf Lynchburg, Va
Sir: 1 take leave to assure you that
l shall do nothing of the sort. The
subscribers to the Tribune in Lynch
burg have paid for their papers; we
have taken their money, and shall
fairly and fully earn it, according 10
contract. Ifthey direct us to send
their papers to some other post of
fee, we shall obey the request 9th
erwise we shall send them as ordered.
If you and your masters choose to
steal and destroy them. that is your
affair at all events, not ours and If
there is no law in Virginia to punish
the larceny, so much the worse for
her and our plundered subscribers.
Ifthe Federal Administration, where
of you are tool. after monopolizing the
business of mail carrying sees fit to
become the accomplice ofmail robbie

borne until more honest and less SER
vile rulers can be put into high places
at Washington, or till the people can
recover their natural right to carry
each others letters and printed
matter, asking no odds of the Gov
ernment. Go ahead in yoar own
base way. I shall stand steadfast
for human liberty and the profession
of all natural rights. Yours stiffiy,

THE OMGINAL OF THE SCARE

A friend of ours has shown us copy
of the "Grundy County Herald" a
paper published in the little town of
Morris, Illinois, which gives the origin
of the scare about the rescue of old
Brown. James Gordon Bennett,
and Governor Wise were both taken in
and done for by gang of mad wags
in that little burg. We give the facts
as stated by the Grundy County Her.
aid, and also the documents by which
the most potent Bennett and mosl
grave Governor Wise were emphati-
cally sold. The best part Of the joke
is the fact, the following as stated by
the little Illinois paper are true:
Bennett of the N. Y. Herald Vic-
timi1ed.-The citizens of Morris will
be much surprized to find that they
figure in the Harper's Ferry Affair. as
the supposed intended rescuers of old
John Brown. They will be equally sur
priced to know thst they have COM
pany of Ashton Guards, numbering
45o. in their midst. They will also
be provoked to laughter, when they
find themselves quoted to sustain the
arguments of JAMES GORDON BEN
NETT, in his laudations of Gov. Wise,
and his military arrangements. But
to the point. Bennett has been most
egregiausly "sold" by several wags
in this place, of whom J. P. South
worth and DR.. Leroy are at the head
Some two weeks since Southworth
brought to this office, the "Notice"
published below, which was inserted
in two half sheets of our paper. One
copy was sent to Gov. Wise and the
other, accompanied by the letter pub
lished below, was mailed to the New
York Herald. The Herald man dis
covered the ''mare's nest" at once,
and the result was the following ar
ticle which we clip from its columns
of Nov. 30th, 1859:
Moremcnts for The Rescue of Old
Broan.-A correspondent sends to us
by mail the following communica-
tion -
Morris. Grundy Co. ILL.,.
Nov. 26, 1859.
James Gordon Bennett -
Dear Sir-Enclosed l send you
copy of paper published in this
place, containing notice (marked)
which shows the feelings of the peo-
pie of Morris
The company number 450, and are
named after General Leonard Ashton,
ex-Deputy Marshal for the District
of Columbia.
1t is rumored that they leave here
tomorrow Sunday night to join with
an Ohio Company.
Accompanying this is a copy of
the Grundy County Herald of the
Goth. which contains the subjoined:
NoTIcE.-The Ashton Guards are
notified to meet at the armory this
Wednesday, evening, to take imme-
date steps tor the rescue OF wa
John Brown and his fellow prisoners.
CHAS. CLIFFORD,
Lieut.. Commanding.
The black republican newspapers
abouts have attempted to throw a
great deal of ridicule upon Governor
Wise for his extensive military prep
arations, making the rescue of the
condemned men almost matter of
impossibility. The above. however,
would seem to show that there was in
certain abolition districts in the North
and West an intention to rescue the
prisoners, and perhaps had Governor
Wise omitted his precautionary meas
ures, the attempt might have been
made. If the Governor of Virginia
has erred, it has been on the safe side,
at all events.
