a asTRoNey AReuMENT.

An "injunetion" is big thing, and IN
fact, the thing in a country where owing
to chronic arrangement of the boweiary
system Of the Judge. it is impossible to
obtain the trial Of a case upon its merits
The merest tyro in the legal profession
win perceive that the party who can 90
tain an "injunction" and can cause the
Judge to refrain from dissolvng IT. mas sot
the game in his own hands, and never Will
allow the case to come to trial at all, not
If he knows himself intimately. There
are in this Territory many attorneys
whose knowledge of practice IS derived
from their experience in States and Terri
tories where the "rules of Court" are
slightly different from those prevailing
here. For the edi6cahon Of such limbs Of
the law, we viii give an insight into the
mOs.4s opsrandi of obtaining the important
writ, which may insert hea into the
auricular organ of such lawyers as have
for clients the propriesors of srgennferous
sulphurets. A "precedent" is good
thing TO help out "case lawyer, and
we wiz furnish valuable one. The issu-
anee of an injunction in favor OF the
Gould s Curry and against the 81 Dorado
Company, is matter of record, bat the
manner of its obtaining IS not. There :
an acting void which we propose to I'LL.
When the Gould s Curry applied for that
writ, Charles Strong, the Superintendent
went with his attorney to North's room.
The attorney stated his business, saying
that he desired an injunction against the
81 Dorado Company. North turned TO
Strong, and said that he was getting very
poor rock AZ his mill, and was not getting
itreValarly. Strong replied that he should
have it more regularly and Of better
quality. North said, "Well, there IS my
man" pointing to person who was near
the door, "and he viii attend to IT..
Strong went out and went with the man
TO the Gould & Curry dump. In about
twenty minutes they came back, and
"North's man" said it was " satisfactory"
In few minutes afserward, Judge North
granted the injunction desired BY the
Gould & Curry. "a nod is as good as
wink to blind horse" and recently ar
rived attorneys win learn from the above
"little story" what strong argument Is
before Judge North at chambers.

Order Ne. IS.

Abiding to the recent arrest of c. L. Well
Ter, under the issuance Of General Mellow
ellis Order No. 3S, concerning disloyal or
CARNATIONS, the Stockton Independent, says !:
"we congratulate the country upon the
fact that it at last has military commander
who dares strike at leading as well as vulgar
conspirators, and who will see to it that the
brutal scenes enacted in New York last sum-
mer shall not be ripened and repeated here
this summer. The stuff about prompt pun
ishment in such cases leading to resistance
aud civil war is all bravado. The history Of
this war shows very clearly tat in all the
States, it was not prompt punishment, but
cowardly measures justified under the spe-
eious and false pretense Of conservatism
which led to serious conflicts. The rebellion
everywhere started as mob. Mobs are pro-
verbally as cowardly before superior force
as they are beastly and cruel when they OBJ
tain tie upper hand. The example Of Mis-
souri,, New York and Baltimore should warn
US here against allowing the leaders Of the
mob element to gain the slightest toothold
for an organization. Give-them an inch and
we are in for it. The least wavering Of pur-
pose, the least lenieney shown them, viii
stir them up to deeds Of blood. Firmness
now, or civil war viii follow sure"

From the Army Of the Potomac
Rebel Fort Blown Up-Important
and Cheering News from Sherman.
HEADQUARTERS ARMY oPTHR PoToNAc,
July S0-The great event, which was long
expected, namely the explosion Of a mine
under the rebel fort, Immediately in front Of
the Ninth Army Corps, came off at half-past
four this morning. Picket firing had been
kept up all night, and in fact at the time the
match was applied to the mine, skirmishers
were still engaged on both sides. L
An immense column Of dust was thrown
up 800 feet into the air, and the Fort, which
manned sixteen guns, was rendered mass
Of ruins. Immediately after the explosion,
our artillery opened with one simultaneous,
continuous roar along the entire line. e
The Ninth Corps then charged on the
rebels, driving them beyond them to their
second line of Entertainments, and taking a
number of prisoners, some of whom were
dug out Of the dirt, badly bruised. These
prisoners state that only about dozen re-
main Of their regiment
BY ten o'clock we had captured two other
earthworks. !.
NEW YoRx, July 3l.-The Herald's Nash
vile special dispatch, dated Friday, July
18th, says Sherman's army was in motion
yesterday to accomplish important operations
looking to an early investment of Atlanta.
The enemy attempted to thwart the move
ment by attacking the 18th Corps, but wDre
badly repulsed. During the contest, we took
several regimental flags. 5 ST.

saw their arrest, incarceration and punish

our fixed and unalterable conviction: The

Democrat or Union man, who shall seek to
disturb the present peaceful and quiet condi-

THE STRIKE,


In our local columnA win be found an
account Of the demonstrations Of the
working men of this district. Itmay be
truly said that the matter of the reduction
of wages. is matter solely within the
breasts of the employers and to be arran-
ged between them and the employed, and
that outside interference therein cannot be
justified as matter of right Neverthe-
less il is q matter thar strikes directly at
the interests of the whole community, and
a calm and fair expression of opinion In
the matter is allowable. and can certainly
do no injustice. Itneeds no argument to
prove that four dollars day is as little
as man can live comfortably upon in
this land of enormous prices and that
even at that price, it requires health, in
dustry, and economy in the miner to
make ends meet. It may be possible that
the pnce is more than the mines and mills
can afford. but we don't believe it. 1t is
an admitted fact that all those mines that
are having ore crushed are paying well,
and they are about the only mines that
are employing men. The mill men have
the matter in their own hands and can
certainly regulate their prices so as to pay
their men living wages. The attempt to
reduce the standard below fair price has
been met in manner that reflects credit
on the working men. There has been
nothing in their proceedings that saSors
of riot or disorder, or that is calculated to
excite the alarm Of the community. They
merely state their grievances, and ask for
redress, and we have heard no threats of
violence in case their demands are not
complied with. Our sympathies and the
sympathies of the public are with them,
P. S. Since writing the above, we
learn that the crowd were slightly Obsre-
porous at Virginia.

SECRETARY CHASE FOR CoNeRgss.-The
Louisville Pres says: We are glad to see
that Salmon p. Chase is strongly urged to
allow his name to be used for Congress in
the First District Of Ohio. The Cincinnati
Commercial says concerning the proposed
nomination of Mr. Chase BY the Union men
of that District, there is no little agitation.
Our ablest and most experienced public men
should be called upon to serve in the next
Congress and the nomination of the dis
tinguished Ex-Secretary ofthe Treasury may
suggest the nomination in other Districts OF
men OF ability, who have filed high positions
in the Government in the past. The Thirty
eighth Congress, which has just closed its
longer session. says the New York Tribune,
was an uncommonly green one. Not more
than half its members ever before held seats
in either House. Avery considerable pro-
portion of its members are men of quite mod
crate abilities-about equal to the duties Of
Justices of the Peace. II is fact, we do not
send so able men to Congress as were sent
forty to sixty years ago. We ought to have
such men as Edward Everett, Salmon P.
Chase, Henry c. Cary, Hamilton Fish, and
John P. Kennedy in the next Congress.
Let them be brought out. Their country's
claims to their services in this great crisis,
are above every consideration Of "a more per-
sonal or private nature.

A,,enrian.Union MEN.

Alb. Paul and Josiah Earl, VIGOROUSLY
known as the most bigoted, and at the same
time the weakest and most disagreeable Of
mankind, have bo,tci the Union organiza-
ton. Every one acquainted with these wor-
thies, will at once know why they boiled
could not govern and control the Union
County Central Committee. The one Com
mittee to which these men belonged, COM,
posed OF eleven members, was entirely too
big to suit Paul and Earl. What 4 pity all
.oS6css could not be stewed down aud con-
centrated into one, TO be filled BY this great
Venius-this man Of "facts and fgures"-
this man Of "rotary batteries" = this
FIVE per cent. Banker, with Josiah Earl as
his private Secretary. Strange the people of
this county can not see the wonderful abili-
ties and great worth of this man. Even the
sound of bis great name fails to inspire the
people with awe and reverence. In fact,
many very good people are disposed to look
at him in quite different light, and esti-
mate him in this wise: saE{
A man 80 various, that he seems to be,
Not one, but all mankind's epiionle;

Iseysrytains BY starts and 5 1;,t1 long.
SsSides ten thousand freaks that die in thinking
He saws he wants reform--this is suhter-
fuge. He is so constituted that he, Almarin
B. Paul, must be all or nothing. II he wants
reform, why not remain in the Union organi-
cation If he has strength, and small amount
of sense, rnodesty and decency. He could
have done good in the Union ranks. This
honest and straight way Of procedure did not
suit him. He wants the sole credit Of get
ting M a new party, which fit succeeds, he,
A. b. Paul, gets all the credit Of. II he sue
ceeds in dividing the Union strength, and
thereby enables the Copperheads to elect
their ticket, then his soul win indeed be filed
with pleasure. Union men Of Storey county
watch this man, whose heart drinketh up
foolish ambition as sponge doth water.
Union men, you have now an opportunity
Of remedying all existing evils, If any there
be, and Of guarding the future. The Union
party is now unit. Everything has been
done honestly and squarely up TO the present
time. Your committee will see that good
and honest judges viii be appointed to hold
the primaries next Saturday that IS as TAR
rs your committee can 60, and then and
there the duty devolyes on you to see that
you send your very best citizens to the
County Convention. Your committee have
taken this plan to place these things in the

authority for so doing, to-wit: God Almighty,
the Declaration Of Independence, and the
Constitution Of the United States.

is entirely too severe upon our friend

A NICE SUBJECT FOR sPEcULA-
TON. Jon


We spoke some days ago of the decision
of Judge North granting an injunction
10 the Burning Moscow and against the
ophir. We alluded, in connection there
with, to the fact that Judge Hardy and
Others, immediately prior to the rendition
of that decision had invested heavily IN
Burning Moscow stock. Since that time.
we have been informed by authority
which is to US satisfactory, that Judge
North, instead of fling his decision, forth
with with the Clerk as IS the custom
among Judges, handed it to the attor-
news Of the Burning Moscow, who re-
tanned it ter, hours before the ophir people
or the public were allowed to see it or to
know of its existence. This could have
been done for but single purpose; name
Nv, to give the Moscow people and their
attorneys an opportunity to speculate upon
d. decision, to the exclusion of everybody
else. That they availed themselves Of the
opportunity is a fact too well known to
admit of question. How does the relation
of the above fact, seem to strike the people
who might be disposed to regard Judge
North's plea of Not Guilty" as COM
plese defense. Was such piece of con-
duct dictated by decent respect for the
opinions of the people over whose lives
and property Judge North was appointed
by the President to sit in Judgment: a
