Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1865-06-24


is expected here daily on the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company's new steamer Colorado,
and his friends are actively at work in his
interest. John B. Eeltnn is also prominent,
and is putting up" the promises in a man
ner which indicates determination to carry
them. Governor Low is in the field, "backed
by Conness," () but l don't see where his
strength lies. He has made very indiffer
ent Governor in the opinion Of vast num-
Der OF his constituents, and that he is of the
right kind Of stock for Senator, is to be
doubted. Hon. A. A. Sargent, of Nevada, is
spoken OF, and will come into the field with a
pretty strong vote from the mountains. Hon.
I. g. Phelps is at work quietly, and is not
likely to be the least formidable candidate by
any means. He is No. man for the place.
1t is question the solution Of which will
depend in great measure, after all, on the
action Of the two wings of the Union party
in San Francisco. II the "boys" attempt
their old tricks and play it too strong at the
primaries, a "People's ticket" is a certain
thing in the field, and its election hardly a
matter for doubt. While the war lasted and
an active COpperhead party existed, divis-
ion Of the Union strength in San Francisco
was sadly to be deprecated, but since the OPP
position has virtually ceased to exist, two
parties may perhaps be necessary to prevent
corruption and hold each other in check.

believe that no Government on the earth
has been, and still is, so systematically
swindled on every side as our own. Swindled
on contracts (half our present national debt
is the result Of frauds perpetrated by army
and navy contractors and their friends);
swindled in her public lands; swindled in the
Internal Revenue swindled in the Custom
House swindled in everything and every
where, from the rising Of the sun to the 60
ing down thereof. Now and then q spas
modic effort is made to break up some par
ticular plundering scheme or organization,
but it never amounts TO much, and the hula.
bullo soon dies out and the matter is heard OF
no more. just now the principal item Of in
terest in this connection is the seizure OF
wines and liquors at the East, and the COM
promising Of frauds which have been going
on for eleven years by the house Of Edward
Goldman 4 Co., Boston, and D. & NJ. Will

Willard Farwell, U. S. Naval Agent
at this port, left suddenly for the East
and Europe, some months since, and
much speculation has been INDUCED in
BY the qiiid nu,lees ss to the cause Of his de-
parture. He returned BY the last steamer,
and il now turns out that he was engaged in
ferreting out this business, and that his re-
searches resulted in the discovery that the
United States has been defrauded out Of mil.
lions upon millions Of dollars since the adop-
ton Of the dd ralorum tariff IN 1916, by sys-
tematic false invoices, similar TO those dis
covered and seized in the houses Of leading
LIQUOR dealers in this city last year. The ex-
act Smount paid by the above-named parties
to the Treasury Department TO compromise
their individual frauds, was 100000 on the
champagne importations, and $3O, 000 on the
in,portations of sherry. They probably make
a good thing OF it at that. II our revenue
laws were administered honestly, and frauds
as carefully guarded against in this country
as in Europe, the present debt Of the United
States might be paid off in fifteen years at
most-but then We should have fewer "mer-
chant princes" and "wealthy American mer-
chants travelling in Europe" Perhaps il is
better, therefore, not TO disturb "vcSted in
terests," and let the old order Of things go on
az usual.
CHEAP ADVERTISING.
The tremendous FIRE on Sunday night gave
our enterprising Home Insurance Com
pauy," "a San Francisco institution" q
chance to get of big advertisement at low
rate Of expense. This morning they pub.
lished a "card Of thanks"-cards are all the
90 now-to Howard Engine Co., for their
heroic exertions in subduing the flames and
saving property insured by the company, and
begging the acceptance Of the enclosed
package of United States coin as slight
token Of our appreciation" "Slight token,
indeed 1t contained but $40; no more and
no less, but it enabled the Insurance Com
pany to publish its own letter to the tiremen,
without stating the amount donated, and to
get a little cheap reputation for liberality
The Towards were so enraged at this petty
piece Of humbugging, that they divided the
money between the Protestant and Catholic
Orphan Asylums, and will publish to the
world the amount Of the donation and the
disposition made Of it. Had nothing been
sent, no one would have felt agyrieyed, but
TO send $40 and make a thousand dollar
splurge over it, was carrying the joke too
far.
CONCERNING sAUsAoEs AND THINes.
There was deal Of sudden departures
from the breakfas. tables yesterday morning,
when the citizens Of San Francisco spread
out the Alta and Call, to glance over the
news Of the morning, as they slipped their
coffee and munched the mullins. It has
been popularity believed for years that dog in
some manner and form entered largely into
the composition of sausages, and now We
have diabolical, conclusive proof OF the fact,
though not in the shape we had louked for.
San Francisco sausages are, indeed, part dog,
but the canine ingredient comes in through
an Indirect and roundabout manner, not
direct like the mutton fat, turnip and old red
shirts chopped fine. To make long story
short, Chief Burke sent communication to
the Board Of Supervisors on Monday night,
enclosing a deposition, the substance oil
which is as follows: For six weeks last
past, depoucnts, Geo. H. Wilson and D.
Woodruff, have been in the employ OF Joseph
Gridley, Pound Keeper, and that Opponents.
together with T. Bertrand, acting under said
Gridley's orders and in his presence, did kill
within the six weeks last past 1856 dogs, aOou,
one-fourth OF which number were diseased
with the dog dlstemper, Of which fact said
Gridley was well aware, and that said dead
and diseased animals were, by Gridley's or
ders, fed to Icing hogs; which said hogs, so
fed upon such dead and diseased dogs, were,
BY said Gridley's order, sold to butcher for
public and general sale to the people Of San
Francisco, to be by them used and eaten as
| meat. or the truth Of said charge further
evidence can be furnished by Opponents"
The deposition and Communication we're re.
ferred to the COMMITTEE on Health and
Police" and the matter will come up for
hearing again, before the Board, next Mon.
day evening. 1t seems that there Is no law
| which will touch the case, but the Board can
remove the Pound Master at will, aud they
will probably do il next week. The worst OF
the story is yet to be told. The deputies as.
sert that many Of the dogs were afflicted with
the distemper, and diseased with fevers en-
Rendered by confinement in the Pound before
Being killed; that the Pound Keeper skinned
the dogs and sold the skins to the tanners,
and then fed the carcaSses to the hogs, clos
ing the performance BY getting so much per
head from the city for "killiug and burying
the animals. Nice little speculation wasn't
it, They further say that he killed one OF
these hogs, which had been thus fed, and
presented the heart and liver to lady friend,
but that the liver was found so diseased that
she was obliged to throw it way. Talk OF
''swill milk" indeed! WHAT is that to dog
fed porkl O-u-g-h! shall never look on
pork chop or sausage again without shud-
