Amu,ips Episode in the House.

In the course Of the debate in the
House of Representatives, at Washing
ton, last week, on the proposed bridge
over the Mississippi at Clinton, Iowa,
General Schenck said
Mr.. Speaker: With due thanks to
nv friend from Massachusetts, (Mr. Al
levi for his courtesy in allowing me one
minute of his time, I will endeavor to
confine myself within that limit. This
I can the easier do because | have no
speech to make on either side Of this
question. But some gentlemen around
me find it difficult to comprehend why a
bill affecting the use or continuance OF
a bridge should give occasion to so
much excited feeling and fierce discus
sion and I think l a relate a little
incident which may probably furnish
the explanation. - n--E"
Mr.. Speaker, I live in the Miami VAL
lev, that l~ovliest and most fertile part
of all Ohio. We had q great freshet

home at the time making speeches-for
it was during the late political canvass.

part Of the State. / witnessed, there
fore, none of the ravages of the great
food, except as | saw some Of the et-
fects and traces Of it after my return.
But my neighbors described it to me,
and ofthe damage done to farms, crops,
fences and other property, and related
to me many interesting and some anus
ing incidents and personal adventures
connected with the general calamity.
A day or two after my return a friend
said to me-: "By the way, Schenck,
the old bridge over the Miami at Hamil-
ton was carried off," "Is that so?" l
asked. "Well, besides the serious in
convenience of that loss, it must have
distressed our Butler county neighbors
greatly, for to my certain knowledge
that venerable structure has stood for
Fifty years and perhaps was the oldest
bridge in our valley" "You may well
say that" remarked my friend. "There
was excitement enough in the crowd
that stood and looked on at the old
thing as it was lifted from the piers and
swung round and loated down stream.
| was there and saw tears almost come
into Bill Beckett's eyes" (Mr. Beck
EFT, by the way, Mr.. Speaker, is as true,
liberal and noble a man as ever lived,
and will enjoy the story.l ""This is not
to be wondered at" said l; "Beckett
might well be affected. He was born
near by +; has been familiar with the
bridge always since his earliest boy
hood, and must have had a good many
pleasant associations connected with
It." Associations, the devilp ex-
claimed my matter-of-fact neighbor;
"why, Bill was n of the biggest stock
holders in the bridge company Great

IDAHo.-Uncle's money matters in
Idaho seem not to be in the most salts
factory condition. There was q big tus-
sic over the payment Of the mileage and
per diem of the Legislative Assembly.
Ex-Governor Lyons name is banded
about roughly in a financial point Of
view. The Statesman calls him "that
lecherous old flag of infamy" and as
serts that he and a former Secretary
shave stolen all the money that came
into their possession" The latest re-
freshing sensation in this regard is, the
statement that Ex-Secretary Horace G.
Gibson, en- route to Sau Francisco, drew
from the Upited States Depository, Or
egon City, Oregon, $35 900, February,
1866, which sum was deposited by I'm
Gle to the credit of the Secretaries of
Idaho Territory. The revelation Of this
transaction last month caused conside-
rable iuttering among Gilson's sureties,
and those who had claims against the
appropriation. The Statesman calls
Gibson "an. infamous scamp" for bolt
ing with the money after that fashion,

LEGISLATIVE CoNNIrTEE.-The As
sembly special committee, consisting Of
Messrs. Dorsey, Bence, Dana, Mayhugh
and Carey, who were sent up here on
Tuesday to investigate the supposed de-
fault Of mining companies in the pay
ment of State taxes, spent all day yes
terday in trying to find out what was
the matter, and this morning, about
eleven o'clock, passed through Gold
Hill on their return to Carson. We
believe that so far as they could find
out from our late county officials, and
also an examination of ''persons and
papers" belonging to the mines sup
posed to be delinquent, all is right; al
though some Of the persons and papers
they were after could not be reached
readily at present. If there is anything
wrong, no doubt the committee will
fa,hom it and so report.

Influence of the Press.

Rev. Mr.. Leaken, an eminent Balti-
more divine, said in the course Of a re-
cent sermon
az shall reserve the remainder of my
remarks for a subject which is rarely
alluded to in the pulpit, but which is
exercising q most important influence
upon every State, city, village, county
and family in our Union. refer to the
press-the newspaper-which from the
smallest beginning, a luxury to the ia
vored few, has become indispensable to
millions, and whose power in forming
public sentiment is unreasonable.
To illustrate remotely the influence of
this power, suppose a person Of intelli-
gence coming to your family every NOR
ming. He informs you of all that has
occurred in your country, in Europe, or
distant Asia. He gathers the details of
each interesting event; be attends each
important meeting, and tells you what
was said and done. In rain and tenn
pest, in summer and winter, does this
person pay you his daily visits; andnot
only brings you information, hut gives
you his opinion On each question that
arises. In time he becomes one of you;
he is identified with your family, and
the character of your family and the
character of yourself and those around
have been moulded by this constant
contact.
But the newspaper does more. It
brings you an hundred different articles
besides advertisements. 1t can be read
at leisure. Its information reaches
children, and is read by servants. 1t
forms the subjects Of conversation, and
plies its ceaseless visits to your home,
instructive, entertaining, and interesting
to all. Have l over-estimated the force
Of this mighty engine2 The French en-
cyclopedists helped to bring on the
French revolution by means Of ponder
Gus books reaching the learned few.
What increased influence must the
modern press exert, scattering its myriad
thoughts daily among the millionsl
n We have prayed for the
President of the United States and for
all in authority-for our Senators and
Representatives in Congress assembled.
And shall we forget those who make
our Presidents and determine our repre-
sentatives 2"

Ex-Governor Eyre, Artemas Ward, and
Ellen Craft.

Mr.. Conway writes from London to
the Boston Commonwealth:
"Ellen Graft, Wife Of William Craft,
with whom she escaped from a planta-
ton in Georgia-she habited as a South
ern gentleman, he us her body servant
is, as you may judge by the manner Of
her escape, almost white. She is also
quite good-looking, quite intelligent,
and is welcomed in the best society of
London. Lately she met at q dinner
company, without knowing it, the ex-
Governor Eyre, and as fate would have
it, fell to talking of the Jamaica affair
with him. Ellen knows how to use her
tongue with considerable effect, and the
Ex-Governor was somewhat amazed and
embarrassed 4 hear himself terribly
castigated by q lady of whose relation
to the negro race he had no idea what
ever. While the conversation was 60
ing on, some one limited to her that the
person to whom she was uttering her
indignation was 10 other than ex-Gov-
ernor Eyre himself, whereupon, frankly
and unembarrassed, she turned upon
him and said solemuly, DO not you
yourself, sir, feel now that poor Gordon
was most unjustly executed? The ex-
Governor, upon this was overwhelmed
with confusion, turned very red, ex-
cused himself, and walked to the other
end of the room. Ellen is q kind Of
missionary here among the grandees.
She was the other day at a fine dinner
where ARENAS Ward was a guest, and
came out bluntly with, They tell me,
Mr.. Browne, that you are always very
hard upon the poor negro ARENAS,
who was entirely unaware of the race Of
the person with whom he was convers-
ing, replied, 'Now, who told you that?'
well, a good many people; but in fact,
there is q good deal in your books that
would never have been written by a
friend of that unfortunate race Arte-
mas colored considerably, for he felt
that the company he was in had a GER
tain sympathy with. her rebuke, and he
said, Not at all; l abuse white people
as much as I do the blacks WELL
rejoined Ellen, looking him straight in
the eye, Il hope you will never again

pie believe that7yoh are against the ne

EpUcATIoN IN STOREY COUNTY.

The Storey county delegation (both
Houses) and the Committees on Educa-
ton have had several meetings in regard
to the bill prepared by Col. Collins,
specially for the management Of our
county schools. The bill has been Or
dered printed, but we have not as yet
received a copy. We have, however,
been authoritatively informed in regard
to its prominent features. The bill, as
already indicated, is local in its appli-
cation; having r~eferenceto Storey county
alone. If it become a law, it will pass
under that provision Of our Constitution
which requires all laws to be general
except in cases where it is impracticable
to have them so. It has n close resem-
blance to the Storey county School Law
passed by the Territorial Legislature OF
1862.
At present the Board Of County Com
m~issioners may, in their discretion, give
the Board of Education a tax of fifteen
cents on each 500 for school purposes.
The proposed bill allows the Board of
Education to levy a tax of not less than
fifteen cents nor more than thirty cents
on each 500 for school purposes. ltpro-
vides for paying the Board Of Examiners
of this county, SIS per day for services in
examining applicants for teachers situ-
atoms, provided the sum received by
each Examiner shall not in any yaar ex-
ceen 500. As recommended TO be
amended by the Storey county delega-
ton, wiz provide that the Board ofBdu-
cation may proceed to erect new school
buildings whenever in their judgment a
demand exists for the same. 1t is con
templated by the Board-if this bill
passes-to erect a new building in this
town Immediately. The Board may is
sue bonds for $4,000, to bear rate Of
interest o exceeding . per cent. per
month, to be sold at not less than par
value, the proceeds of the loan 20 be
devoted to building or purchasing
school edi6ces. \ Special Building
Fund is also intended 70 be created
from a special tax; but the bill is said
to be,bunglingly drawn in this particu-
lar.
The major portion Of The bill is taken
up with assigning powers and duties to
the Board; and seems to be carefully
worded in its authorizinss and limita-
tions. 1t will probably pass the Legis-
lature.
