SPEAKER OF THE HoUsE.--At the latest dates
from Washington, Dec. l6tb, the House of Rep
resentatiVes had not succeeded iu elecsing
Speaker. The last vote reported, stood for
Sherman, ITO; BocoCk, S5; Gilmer, 22; scatter
ing fisherman lacking four votes of having a
majority. On the last ballot, Haskiu, Hickman
aud Swartz voted for Sherman. From the dis
cussions which took place among the members,
and the statements Of Washington letter wri-
ters, there can be little doubt that Sherman
was elected. A number Of the Southern Oppo.
sition members had announced their determine
ton never to vote either for aa Administration
or auti-Lecompton Democrat, and the Ant.Le-
compton members were fully determined not to
vote for any man who supported the policy Of
the Administration. The President, having
become fully satisfied that Sherman would be
elected, did not favor further delay OF the or
gsnization.

dent. The letters have both been published.

spiracy of formidable extent in means and num-
bers, had been formed Ia Ohio, Pennsylvania.
New York, and other States, 10 rescue John
Brown and his associate prisoners at Charles
town; that he was saliied an attempt would be
made to rescue the prisoners, aud failing in
that. to seize citizens Of Virginia as hostages,
and victims in case the prisoners were execu-
ted. He says, also, that the desperadoes had
depots in Maryland, Pennsylvania aud Ohio
for the purpose of invading Virginia, and the
people of that State were consequently kept in
continual apprehension. He closes his letter
by saying, with all the might of meaning, that
If another invasion assails this State or its cit
zens, from any quarter, will pursue the inva-
ders wherever they may go, into any Territory,
and punish them wherever arms can reach
them" Buchanan evidently understood Gov
Wise, aud very modestly hinted that as be had
not communicated the facts on which his nfor-
nation was based his statements were unrelia-

Gov. Wise, in his message, IN 1hs rssaiaeprs

LErTER FRorI OMEGA.
OMEoA, January 7th. 1859.

OMBGA, January Ith. 1899.
Editor Democrat "A few lines from this section
Of the county, at the present time, may not seem
amiss. We are now having splendid weather for
mining purposes and the miners are improving it
to the best of their abilities. The South Yuba
Water Cos. (Kidds) ditch, is running about 200
inches Of water into this place at the present time,
the Omega Water Co.'S. ditch about 800, besides sew
eral smaller ones that run from 200 to 500 inches
each. 1t is believed by most Of the old residents,
that we shall have open winter that will enable
them to work nearly all the time. II so, a large
amount Of the precious metal will be taken out for
past experience has proved to demonstration that
it is here in abundance, and all that is wanting now
is good weather, and the hardy and willing miner
viii be rewarded for his labor
An unsuccessful attempt was made by the major
ity Of the miners here to reduce the price of water
to twelve and half cents an inch, but it was go;
the water agents told them it was twenty cents or
no water. After standing out some week or ten
days. they concluded to go to work at the old prices
again.
Our town is at the present time undergoing a
great change. On Saturday evening last, thirteen
of our citizens marched in single file up to the Sons
Of Temperance Hall, and there avowed their deter
mination to abstain from the further use Of that
doubledisted lightning that is dealt out so freely
at one bit glass. The loss Of these thirteen, has
caused the saloon keepers to wear long faces and
eAPecs eilry WIN stfli lopssI by week for
understand some ten or twelve more have resolved
to follow in the footsteps of the ustrous thirteen
This Division Of the Sons Of Temperance is in
hourishing condition. They gave New Years
Ball at this place on Monday evening, and it was
without exception the most pleasant and best con-
Quoted party that has been given in this section
From twenty to thirty gentlemen, and ten or twelve
ladies from Alpha were present. Sixty-three five
dollar tickets for the ball. and sixtyseven for the
supper alone, were sold, and the Division will make
from Ss75 TO 800 by the operation
An excellent singing school is taught here by Mr..
Clark, who Is said to be No. in his profession,
and much Of a gentleman withal. He also has
school at Alpha two evenings in each week.
Speaking Of Alpha, the inhabitants of that little
burg are much given to fun, amusement, and musi-
cal institutions Besides the singing school Of Mr.
Clark's they have a dancing school, taught by Mr.
Hall, a fddling school taught by Mr.. S. ID. Tanner,
and last, though perhaps not least whistng
school one evening per week. The whistling school
Is taught by Mr.. Tanner who is said to be proficient
in the science. At this school there are eighteen
scholars who attend punctually one night in each
week. and should think that they were making
great progress, judging from their serenading trip
around our town last Sunday evening

The GLOBE RANCH TRAoEDY.-Tbe account
published. 10 our last issue, taken from the
Grass Valley National in regard to the tragedy
near Globe Ranch, was iDcorrec: In some i'm
portant particulars. The name OF the man kill
ed was Carpenter, instead Of James Tooley. 1t
appears that some goods had been stolen from
two teamsters that stopped over night at the
Globe Ranch. The goods we're discovered the
next morning concealed in some bushes, when
q watch was set to catch the thieves. An In
dian was shortly seen approaching the spot,
and on being taken prisoner confessed that
himself and two others'had committed the theft.
On further search another Indian was found
concealed under some brush, and while he was
being drawn from bis hiding place, q gun in
the hands of one of the party was accidentally
discharged the ball taking effect In Carpenters 8
groin, killing him almost instantly. No nfor-
nation has been received as to what was done
with the Indians but the suppostion is that
they were tried and punished by Judge Lynch.

1t will be noticed that the mountains regn'
larly descend from the Sonora to Beckwonrth's
Pass The attitudes Of tbe Henness Pass and
Yuba Gap have never been taken with instru-
ments, but the figures given above cannot be
far from correct. ,aoiuI
It is the opinion of many well Informed per-
sons, and experienced railroad men, that II a
Pacific and Atlantic railroad is ever construct
ed 1t will! come through the Henness Pass, and
Il 10 not improbable that the projected railroad
to Nevada may in time be extended east until
Il meets the railroad now being extended west
from st. Louis. The altitude of Nevada, ct the
foot OF Main and Broad streets, Is about 1900
feet above the level Of the ocean; but the rail-
road will terminate at point about 200 feet
higher. From Nevada to the summit Of the
Henness Pass, the distance is about forty-fve
miles, which would give an average grade Of
63 feet to the mile. Beyond the summit the
country ls level, and presents no serious obsta-
Gle to the construction of railroad. Perhaps
the most difficult portion Of the route would be
between the terminus Of the projected road, on
the south side of Deer creek, and the crossing
Of the South Yuba.

WIN a Railroad Pays

The Grass Valley National, In an article on q
railroad from Folsom to Nevada discusses at
some length the question, twill II pay.V II
estimates the amount Of freight daily brought
to this county at 120 tons. and that sixty pas.
sengers daily pass over the route. On these
data, counting freight at ten dollars ton, and
passengers at Eve dollars each, 1t concludes that
the road would pay 20 per cent per annum to
the stockholders, admitting that the road would
cost two aud half million Of dollars, and that
the increase which the road would give TO bu-
siness would be sufficient TO pay the running
expenses. These estimates, SO far as the pres
ent business of this county is concerned, are
perhaps not far from correct. But the business
of Placer county, which is now nearly equal to
that Of Nevada, is not taken into account.
A gentleman well versed in railroad matters,
informs us, that the travel between Nevada
county alone and Sacramento would considefa-
bly, more than pay the running expenses and
keeping the road in repair. The construction
of the road would more than quadruple the
travel to Sacramento. The amount Of freight
that would be brought TO Nevada and Grass
Valley could scarcely be less than 1900 tons
per-week, which at ten dollars q ton, would
amount to S624,OOO per AMMAN. If we esti-
mate the business of Placer county at two
thirds that Of Nevada tliv Ioad would pay for
itself in less than three years. Few people,
even those residing in this county, have any
idea Of the immense travel and freight that
would pass over this road Let the road once
be built, and we are Satisfied that in less than
two years the company would find 1t necessary
to lay down double track in order to accom-
modate the business. A railroad enterprise has
never been projected In the State that offers
such favorable advantages for the Investment
of capital. The stock would command pre-
MUM as soon as the road was constructed aud
placed in running order.

COMMITTEE OF ISoUmY-The resolution Offer
ed by Mr.. Mason in the u. S. Senate, providing
for the appointment of committee to inquire
into the Harper's Ferry raid, has been adopted,
and Messrs. Mason, Of Va, Davis, Of Miss, Col
lamer, of VT, Fitch, Of Ind.,l and Doolittle Of
Wis, were appointed on the committee. The
committee are instructed to inquire, as TO
whether any citizens of the United States, not
present, were implicated in the Harper's Ferry
affair, or accessory thereto by contributing
money, arms, or munitions; the character OF
the equipment; where, how aud when the same
vaded. They are also to report what legisla-
ton Is necessary FOR the preservation OF the
peace Of the country and the safety of the pub
lie property. There can be little doubt that
other parties, not present at the outbreak, were
aware of Browns intentions, and assisted in
raising contributions to procure arms and mu-
nitions; the public are now entirely In the dark
as to who these parties are. A number Of pub
have been charged with having been cogui-
zant of the intended outbreak, but as far as the
public are aware, no evidence has yet been ad-
duced to show that any person, except those
who took part in the affair at Harper's Ferry,
had any knowledge of Browns movements, or
that he intended to foment servlle nsurrec
tion. II the committee should succeed in bring
ing to light any additional facts in regard to
this affair, their Investigations will not have
been in vain.
