half dozen gentlemen Of intelligence and re-
sponsibiity, who were present and paid par
ticular heed to his words, at once advised
Mr.. Blaine of their import. and sundry
Democrats were chuckling over the fact that
every body was afraid to meet Ephraim.-
Immediately after the meeting was ADJOURN
ed, the following note was sent to Ephraim

be had not challenged Mr.. Eainc, ard did
not desire to meet him that he had thrown
out the challenge to Mr.. NdSt5Wn. and
was ready to meet HIM. One hundred wit,
hessess of both parties can be produced who
will certify that Ephrain's challenge wa:
general, and that he specially mentioned
Washburn, Morriil and Blaine. He has been
making the same boast all over the State
and now when squarely met. he squared,
hacks dozen, and spteates out that = nc was
misunderstood.
His PRETENDED desire to meet Washburn i
an equal sham and brag. lie couldn't b,
single line to Mr.. Wash5urn making such 1
proposition? He kgops f99 ,reH tfat /
tcouid be promptly accepted. Mr.. Washburt
has been spoken to in regard to the matter
and has always said " he cared nothing abou

State Prison Reform.
Annual Saving of $4,000 to the State
Treasury.
Democratic Testimony on that Point

1t is wcll.known that ever since the state
PRISON was started, Il loose system oi admin
rstering its finances has prevailed, and waste
and extw.yugance has been the result. More
than two years ago the Republican State Ad-
miDis,r;itbn took the subject in hand with
the view of reforming certain abuses, and the
way they have succeeded may be inferred
from the following extract from a speech de-
ivcrcd in the house Of Representatives last
winter by DR.. Ludwig. the Democratic mem
Der from Thomast0n a gentleman of high
standing in every respect; DR.. Ludwig af-
ter rcciting the abuses that had grown out Of
plying the Warden IL very petty salary aud
then allowing him 10 make !, up in sundry
and divers lcrquistes made these remarks
:. The Commissioners appointed by the Ex-
ecutive, in June last, have lad the are al The

deu's salary at definite sum without any
other compensation. The labor of the CON

fast yesterday morning, as Mr.. Tooms was
driving along the La Porte road near she
New York house, be saw 10 advance of him
wagon loaded with shakes, and on top of
it two men struggling together. Presently
the combatants fell to the earth. One snatch

was fired. The party from whom the pistol
was taken recovered it, and would probably
have done serious work with it but for the
near approach of Mr.. Tooms, when be jump
ed off and ran away, leaving behind new
black hat. 1t appears that the driver of the
foremost team, which belonged to Mr.. Van
Dern, was attacked by a highwayman, and
had come near losing bis life as described.
He had with him about one hundred dollars
which the robber did not succeed in getting
While the teamster and footpad were strug-

HORRIBLE MURDER AT THE BAY.-An at
irocious murder was perpetraied last Tues
day, at the milk ranch Of man named
johnson, near the Lone Mountain Gene
terry, at San Francisco. Mr.. johnson left
his ranch for town 10 the morning, bringing
his sou, o lad of fifteen, inso the city school
The son returned after school and found bis
sister, aged thirteen, murdered, and the
mother horribly mangled with an ak and
unable to speak. but yet alive. VIM. Cooke,
hired man, was at first suspected, but his
body was found the next morning, o few
hundred yards from the house, bis skull
having been Glove In with an Ak The whole
affair is still involved in mystery; several
suspected persons have been arrested but
were discharged on giving an account Of
themselves. The murders could not have
been perpetrated for the purpose Of rob-
berry, as nothing was taken from the prem
ises except pair of boots belonging to
Cooke.

wish to impress upon Nevadans the inn
portance of WasbOe, that they may exert
themselves to turn the tide of business via
Nevada. All the natural advantages are in
its favor, and it only wants the energy of
its people to complete it. The amount of
business to be done next spring will awaken
all to this fact. AS mineral-bearing coun-
try, Wasboe is reality. Its exact value,
as compared with California, am not as
yet able to form what would say is cor
rect opinion. As usual / keep statistics of
all my working, and will soon be able to
form some idea. Several mills are now be-
ing built, but as yet "Nevada" takes the
lead.
As look ar0Dnd me, see 80 many Ne
vadans that really it seems as if Nevada
has moved to Washoe and not ourselves.
The foothold of Nevada in this country is
truly astonishing~-from the number one
would suppose they had the biggest share.
This can be accounted for, presume, from
the fact that Nevada is close at hand.
The weather has been rainy, snowy and
cold for some days past, but now 1t is quite
pleasant.

NIGHT OF HoRRoR.-The Milwaukee pa
pers relate whole column Of instances
wherein, in that city, on the fatal night
when the Lady E.gin went dowB, citizens
we're awakened with horrible presentiments
of something dreadful about TO happen. The
Chief of Police, thus aroused by the unseen
hand at little after 2 O'Clock, perambu-
lated the whole city to see if the nature of
his fears had not some present solution, and
was still unsatisfed. Others, controlled by
these fearful forebodings, sat up the bal
ance of the night, or lay tossing and sleep
less in bed. In many Of these instances the
parties thus warned had no relatives, and
some not even acquaiDtances, on board the
fated ship. To all, however, it is described
as having been night black with horrors.

YANcEY ON SEcEssIoN.-Wm. L. Yancey
spoke at the Cooper Institute, New York,
October 10th, 10 an immense gathering Of
people. While speaking, the question was
put to him whether Liucoln's election would
be cause for the secession of the South, to
which he answered that he believed in the
right of secession, and if Lincoln should
bring in Federal heyonets to force his ire
pressible conflict, he would join his State to
resist. Yancey eyaded an answer to the
same question in previous speech.
