When this statement Grst came to our knowledge
on Thursday last we hesitaied to believe the dis
graceful facts. But on Friday one Of the city pa
pers made the details public. Instead Of denying
and disproVing the statement, the Tribune calls It
'scOuudrelly" aud Vilaiaous," inSsniously avoids
denying II, and says, "whether any ball took
place in the same hall after the Campaign Club
closed its netting and left the premises its MEM

manifest confessan Of the truth Of the whole story,
we directed inquiries to be made, and we regret to
say that we are compelled to believe the statement
bitterly as the radical papers seem to feel about it.
1t is true that this radical meeting was held on

nEInaUENT SALES ON MONDAY
NO DISPATCHES.

Viewed in the light of economy, this has
been splendid month for US in the way Of
telegrsphis dispatches; but considered with
an eye to business, and the furnishing our
readers with regular telegraphic news, the
operation Of the thing has been nuisance.
There was time, not long ago, when the
dispatches reached us with much greater reg
ularity than they did the morning papers ;
but the old lighsnine machine has reversed
ITSELF" and the morning papers are having II
all their own way. The wires are down east
ward again to-day, and we are without any
later news than that received BY the morning
papers. This, we suppose, is no fault Of the
telegraph people, for they undoubtedly want
our money as bad as VIC want their news.
We bide patiently a more regular working Of
the line; and do so the more resignedly from
the fact that We have every reason to believe
that matters are transporting in the East just
as we would desire them to do, and that the
news will be good when it does come.

rebel journals, in nerving their people up for the
great struggle now pending, have acknowledged
recently that the loss Of Richmond would be the
loss of the cause. This would seem 20 be literal

SNow.-A fall of snow in June is not
common occurrence in latitude 400 North /;
but such delightful episode happened to
this favored people last night. The noun
tains around US were white with snow to-day !;
and the loftier ranges to the Southwark which
had assumed their summer hue of dingy-
brown nearly to the summit, are again clad
in their dreary winter mantle. The weather
was most dissgreeably cold this morning, and
a roaring FIRE in our sanctum was glorious

remain permanent fixture for the entire
season. It is satisfactory to be able to an
nounce that this late snow is not likely to Sc
riously injure the fruit crop in the immedi-
ate vicinity Of Gold Hill and Virginia.

THE NEW MINT BUILDINGS FOR san FRAN.
cISCo-In former letter it was said that the
Senate had passed the bill approPriating 100000
for the erection of suitable buildings for the
United States Branch Mint AT san Francisco
since that time the bill has been referred to the
House Committee of Ways and Means, where its
fate is doubtful-Morrill, Of Vermont. and one or
two other of the frugally inclined members of the
Committee, being disinclined 10 report favorably
upon it. While the bill was in the Senate, How
ard of Michigan. asked if the United States did
NOT own land enough in san Francisco to build q
Mint upon without buying lot, as the bill SEEM
ed to contemplate. CONFESS replied that the
Government did own block of " made land on
which the Post Office and Custom House stood,
but it was thought not to be a suitable place to
erect the heavy machinery of Mint upon, but it
would be examined with view to ascertaininG
its fitness for the purpose Conncss also ex-
planned that the extent of the appropriation,
S300OOO was on account of the difference be.
tween gold (the currency of the State) and paper,
in which the Government would pay for the
work done. The bill authorizes the Secretary
to sell the ground upon which the present Mint
il erected.

EDITOR NEws:-In yesterdays Piute may
be seen an article headed "Meanness," refer
ring to two printers who left that office and
went to California, owing their landlady some
fifty dollars. 1t may be right enough to pub
lish the circumstance alluded to. but is GER
tainly neither respectful nor gentlemanly in
that editor to connect them with the Washoe
typographical Union. What, in the name
of reason, could that Association have to do
with the private acts of its individual men,
bers: It was organized as protective
shield for honest labor, and not as medium
to publish the misdeeds of recreant parties to
the world. In so far as regulations pertain
ing to the craft may go, it has jurisdiction,
and no farther. For similar offense, would
that editor likewise honor the Masonic or
Odd Fellow Fraternity, by showing up such
men to be connected Herewith, and thereby
heaping odium upon those Orders, when they
could not possibly be responsible as body:
In like manner the Washoe Typographical
Union stands, and whilst it would greatly
deplore unjust conduct in any of its menu
bers, it is entirely powerless to remedy such
evils as mentioned above. 1t has endeavored
always to maintain a respectable reputation
in the community at large, and therefore
does not feel obliged to the Pi,te for pub
fishing the Society in connection with such
offenders. Typo.

The NATIONAL CoSvES TIoN.-Cnder our
teleeraphic head to day will be found very
full report of the proceedings of the National
Union Convention at Baltimore. The nom
nations were made with great unanimity and
harmony: only twenty-five votes being cast
against Lincoln; those being from the Radi-
Gals of Missouri, and for General Grant.
Several nominations for the Vice Presidency
were made; but, before the roll was called,
the opposition to Johnson was all with
drawn, and his nomination declared unani-
nous. The resolutions of the Convention
express, beyond doubt, the sentiments of
the great majority of the loyal people of the
United States. The nominations being
made, the resolutions passed, and National
Central Committee having been elected, the
Convention adjourned sine die.

EMEUTE AMONGST SOLDIERS on BOARD THE
OCEAN QUEES-Two MES SHOT DEAD.-There
was considerable excitement on board the steam
ship Ocean Queen on her last trip from New York
to Aspinwall A passenger by the Constitution
furnishes us with the following particulars Two
hundred and thirty soldiers in the army having
been ordered to be transferred TO the navy, took
passage on the Ocean Queen. They were bound
to Panama TO reinforce the strength of the L. S.
steamer Lancaster, lying Mt that port. The Ocean
Queen left New York on Friday, the 18th ult. On
the second day out, the sodeas manifested symp-
toms of INSTRUMENTATION. They by some means
obtained liquor, and then got to fighting amongst
themselves On the following day they COM
menced grumbliug about their bad fare, and
finally their rngcaders announced their determ
nation 10 20 aft and obtain cabin passengers
provender. To this proceeding Captain Ammon,
the officer in command of the insurgents, and
Captain Tinklepaugh, of the steamer, naturally
objected. The men crowdedup to the deck grating
separating the Storage passengers from the cabin
accommodations. The officers told them TO de-
siSt, or they would fire upon them. One or more
of the leaders cried out &" Shoot and be id; we
are bound to have food" The Chief Engineer
placed his hand upon the breast of one of the
men, and warned him 10 desist. He did not, and
the officers fired their pistols The man on whose
breast the Engineers hand rested fell dead,
pierced to the heart. The Engineer had finger
shattered by the shot. Another OF the men
was also shot in the breast, aud died in the course
of fifteen minutes Six of the soldiers were placed
at once in irons. Passengers stood guard over
the crowd until their arrival at Aspinwall. Off
Cuba the gunboat Neptune was hailed. and the
six insurgents put aboard of her. Whilst cross
ing the lSthmus, ten of these half starved sailors
jumped from the cars. But two were recaptured.
The rest Of the party were safely placed aboard
the Lancaster. The whole trouble would doubt
less have been avoided had "Old Vanderbilt "
given the soldiers decent farc.-ditG.
