LIBEL SuIrs.-The public will remem-
Der, perhaps, that Judge North, last Pail,
was rather an eye-sore to the public; and
that the public pressure was so heavy that
he, Turner, and Locke had to resign their
official positions of Territorial Judges.
Like convicted felons, Turner and Locke,
retired and kept their heads shut, and
both Of them, we believe, have "gone
from our gaze" never again to pollute the
honest and pure air Of the land of sage
brush, and better men now fill the places
which shall know them no more for ever.
But Judge North, Of Washoe City, felt
hurt at being charged with official cor
rup,ion, aud sued William NJ. Stewart for
libel, and charged 100000 as damages
to his character. He also sued the
Enterprise, and laid his damages at a
similar sum. Mr.. Stewards case is to
come up in the District Court Of Washoe
county, on the 2sth of August, instant.
Judge North. If he knows what is best
for him, had better drop the whole mat
ter; he is opening an old sore that was
very offensive to the public last year. and
if it is opened by q judicial spear. and the
matter allowed to permeate the air Of
Washoe, it will stink all over the State
ten times worse than the public nostril
ever smelt. Drop it, Judge: you will save
what is left Of your character. ,

FoRp's THEATRE AND BooTH'S BRANDY.
Ford's Theatre inside presents q scene Of
the greatest confusion. All the properties,
wardrobes. furniture, etc., of the estab-
lishment are piled upon the stage, prepar-
atory to packing and removing. The
purchasers propose to pay ten thousand
dollars to Mr.. Ford, when the property
will be conveyed to them. Strangers in
the city are continually calling and asking
admission to the building; but thus far
none have been admitted, save a few
members of the Press. Notwithstanding
the close surveillance Of the guards who
nave had the theatre in charge, the build
ing has been roughly used. Curiosity
seekers have completely whitfield away the
bench upon which Peanut John sat
whilst holding Booths horse and about
a yard square has been cut away from the
green baize carpet, surrounding the spot
where Booths feet struck when he jumped
upon the stage. after shooting the Pres
ident. One Of these curious visitors en-
tered the saloon adjoining the theatre,
where Booth took his last drink Of brandy
Just before be murdered Mr.. Lincoln.
The visitor inquired Of the bar. keeper :
Have you the same bottle on hand out
of which Booth drank on the night of the
assassination ," "Yes, Sir" "Can 1
lave a drink of that same brandy out Of
that same bottle ;" "Yes, Sir" LETS
have it." The visitor tasted the brandy,
made a wry face, and continued And
that's the same brandy that Booth drank ;"
"Yes, SIR. WELL, I don't wonder that
he killed the President. A drink of that
brandy would make . man kill his grand
mother"

OCEAN SouNplNos.-An exchange says
that the various sea soundinss, made BY
the new telegraph company i'll England,
in preparation for the laying Of the At
lantic submarine cable, this Summer, re-
veal the following results: The Baltic
Sea, between Germany and Sweden, is
only 100 feet deep, and the Adriatic, be-
tween Venice and Trieste. 1870. The
greatest depth Of the channel between
France and England does not exceed 800
feet, whilst to the southwest Of Ireland,
where the sea is open, the depth is more
than 1000 feet. The seas to the south Of
Europe are much deeper than those in
the interior. In the narrow part Of the
Straits Of Gibralter the depth is only 1000
feet. while q little more to the esst it is
5000. On the coast Of Spain the depth
is nearly 5000 feet. At $50 miles south
of Nantucket no bottom wal found at
1900 feet. The greatest depths Of all are
to be met within the Southern Ocean.
To the west Of the Cape of Good Hope
1900 feet have been measured, and to
the west Of St. Helena 81, 900 feet. DR..
Young estimates the average depth Of the
Atlantic at $4,000 feet, and Of the Pacific
at $4,000.

Won SCHMIDT,

A friend of ours says he has seen the
great Won Schmidt, the engineer who is
going to carry Lake Tahoe to San Fran
cisco. Won is going to camp and survey
in a few days. The great and only ques-
ton in the premises-Says Von-is the
tunnel feasibility. They propose to run
the water forty.odd miles in the South
Pork of the American, and thence take it
to Stockton and San Francisco. Won
says the original Lake Tahoe water supply
scheme was q bona fde one; but they who
FIRST suggested it found there was going
to be plenty of black-mail opposition ; and
hence the real parties in interest, prospec-
tive, backed out of the operation. One
of the greatest drawbacks to all the en-
terprises of the country is this system Of
sponge pretense Of opposition. When re-
liable men start on such a project, the
pin-ish and blubber followers should be
conciliated in favor of the legitimate in
yesters-by a kick from the press and the
~populace generally. Won says that the
water of Lake Tahoe, reduced fifteen feet,
will flow a stream the size Of the Sacra-
mento flor how long 3 time. pray y
hence. no danger Of depriving Nevada Of
her share of the great mountain wash
basin. The report that the Dutch Flat
Railroad is coming into Tahoe City, and
propose carrying the water down in cars
-sufRcientfo for the supply of Sacramento
is wholly incorrect, and unfounded on
any higher basis than Won Schmidt and
Stanford and Croker are or friendly
terms.

o-ospraHaAr SLANG.

Having escapedthe Judgment that over
~helmed their friends, the Copperhead
journals of the country have resumed
their TRADE against the abolitionists.
There is a popular and pleasant delu-
sion that the slavery question is settled
and that slavery is dead but the move
ments of such traitors in Virginia and
other border States as have secured the
right Of voting, and the almost unanimous
return of the Democratic press to its old
slang about abolitionism and abolitionists
shows that it is still struggling for life.
Why should they do this but In hope OF
regaining power and restoring slavery to
its old supremacy in this country: They
are not willing to submit to the new order
of things, and If they al by any means
fair or foul continue the rule Of slavery
they will do so. And to do this they
continue to harp on the old string of aboli-
tionists being to blame for the war. The
truth is the slavery question is not settled
only because its friends will not allow it
to settle. Slavery is not dead because its
friends, the Copperhesds of the north and
the shareholders OF the south, are trying
to revive it again. Union men may just
as well make up their minds that the
whole crew shall be put down promptly
and permanently. The only safe course
now is one radical enough to show these
men that they have nc chance Of compro-
missing freedom. They must sec that slav-
cry as well as all who have aided the
Shareholders rebellion will be ground as
If between the upper and and neither mill
stones. Nothing else will be satisfactory
to the loyal public. and nothing less will
secure a lasting peace. The Copperhead
slang Of abolitionists should be signally
Tebuked by every loyal man ; for it is the
outgrowth Of the infamous assumptions of
slavery which brought on the war.

A BRUTAL OuTaAoE.-A dispatch to
the Marysville appeal dated Canyonville,
(Ore.). July goth, says: On Thursday
last a horse thief was arrested and the
Justice sent him to Jail at Roseburg to
await the action Of the Grand Jury. A
man by the name Of Cardwell was en-
ployed to deliver him to the Sheriff at
Roseburg. After arriving at that place
he delivered the papers. The Sheriff
asked him to keep Charge Of him until he
could procure 4 man to take him in GUS
tody. After the; Sherif turned his back,
Cardwell told the prisoner he only agreed
to take him to Roseburg, and now was
his time to escape. The prisoner was
found in a field the next day about noon,
his bieast-bone broken and head severely
bruised. He had lain there fifteen hours,
with the thermometer at l04, without
water. He had to drink his own blood
to keep from dying of thirst. He stated
that after Cardwell told him to escape he
proceeded down the river two miles, was
overtaken by CardwelL whs knocked him
down with a rock and beat him while
down, and then threw him over an abrupt
bluff which was forty or fifty feet to the
bottom. The mans recovery is deemed
impossible. The cause OF this brutal
affair is supposed to be for . small sum OF
money on the prisoners person. Card
well is in custody, charged with an At
tempt to murder.

HANsoN's CRusHRR.-One of these new
patent quartz -crushers was put into op-
Grafton at the Granite Mill, IN Gold Hill,
a day or two ago, and it works most ad-
mirably. Mr.. Parks informs us that it is
one Of the most labor.saving machines he
ever Jaw. The weight of the machine is
about three tons-the horsepower equal
to four. The crusher will mash two hun
dred IONS of rock, to the size of a hens
egg, ready for the stampers, in twenty
four hours. A crusher of this kind, of
course, is only required in n mill where
the rock is very coarse, n which case it is
very useful. There is but n other
crusher of this description in use in this
State, and that is over in Esmeralda
county. Our mill men who have coarse
quartz would do we'll to go and see the
new machine OF the Granite.

are parading the following paragraph
through the country:

Rev. Father Walters, says, while not re-
vealing the confessional, that, as God
lives, she wa innocent of the murder OF
President Lincoln, or any intent or con-
spiracy to murder him. Her execution
has excited a bitter feeling in Washington
City, particularly among Catholics, and
a public meeting is talked Of to denounce
the President and Military Commission"
Could not the Reverend Father, with
out revealing the secrets Of the confess
%sional," inform US what she intended when
she went to the house of Lloyd and told
him to have the carbines, wrench, filed
glass and whisky ready for "parties"
who would call for them that night, and
who did call as she said they would /?
Can he not explain to us her motives in
denying all knowledge of the assassin
Payne, who had been about her house
and in conference with her for months ?
And can he not say what she meant by
harboring all of the leading conspirators
and their Richmond blockade-running
messengers OF her house Flag.
