THE NEW RAILROAD COMMITS
sIONERS.

We hope and expect that from the
new BOARD of Railroad Commissioners,
appointed by President Johnson, we
shall have a full and accurate report of
the character Of the work on the Dutch
Flat route. 1t is currently reported
that the grading on certain portions OF
the route and the construction are very
faulty and while it may not be within
the province of the Commissioners to
note the former, we trust they will make
no slurring work in investigating and
reporting as to the latter. l.. L.. Rob-
iuson, the best civil engineer on this
coast, testified before the Nevada Legis-
lative Railroad committee that tone
yiaducts would have to be built a con-
siderable portion of the distance, in Or
der to make a good Mountain Rail-
road" where there are now the
most fimsy entertainments. We sup
pose there is no allowable review OF
those insecure sections on which the
cars now run ; but for the balance Of
the road there may be some degree Of
Justice done under the Pacific Railroad
bill, by a Board of Commissioned that
are determined TO examine carefully and
decide properly. Frank Denver, one OF
the new Commissioners, has the reputa-
ton of being a fine mechanic, and is be-
lieved to be thoroughly competent to
give a r opinion as to the merits Of
the work from Cisco to the Summit and
east. John Bigler's appointment seems
to have been one made on political
grounds only, as he is not reported to
know anything more Of mechanics than
what is instinctively taught him by the
process Of swallowing. 7. ]. Henley 10
the other Commissioner.
We know that the Dutch Flat Railroad
has been very infinitely examined BY Mt
least two Of the most accomplished
civil engineers and railroad men in the
United States,-though Croker and
Stanford probably may have noticed
them taking a squint on the line and
supposed them to be Chiuamen,-and
Congress may have the benefit Of this
examination, in December. The public
will not be humbugged nor imposed
upon for a much longer period BY the
oil and ribbon railroad men-we are Of
the opinion. With . fair, square re-
port from the new Commissioners, the
day Of deliversnce from Dutch Flat
Railroad thraldom will be FASTENED.
The United States Government is ac-
tually paying for the construction of a
6rst-class railroad over the Sierra Ne
vadas. If a second-class or third-class
road is being built, the people ought to
know It; and when the eItortions for
passage and freight carriage are expos
ed in Congress, the W great outrages
should have a simultaneous appearance,
and concur in producing ''efects."

That FIRR-The FIRE at the Deming House
yesterday morning was mentioned IN yestef'
days paper. The Gre caught in the hue BE-
tween the wash-room and the barber shop.
1t was discovered and put out before any
great damage was done. But for its serious
and tragic character, FIRE at hotel would
be the most ludicrous Of all earthly phenom~
ena. Before the alarm was given, dense
mass of smoke filled all the halls OF the
building. At the cry of "6rer' persons
sprang out Of bed, and hastily opening doors,
found themselves choking 10 the binding
smoke. This increased the sense Of danger
and the confusion. The night was bitter
cold. Everybody halloed. Ladies and chill
dren rushed frsntically about in utterly insult
6cient attire. Men dashed up against walls
and corners, valises in hand, through the
smoke, in very ill-regulated efforts TO get
down stairs. One very portly gentleman as
sured us that he found he had rushed down
stairs in one very thin garment, his socks snc
his hat on, and with an immense trunk on bis
shoulder. In this plight he made for the of
fee. Here be found several ladies. He
bounced into the saloon, and there were
more ladies. In desperation he made for
corner, sat his trunk down, concealed him.
self behind it as well as he could, and satsnd
shivered. That may be overdrawn. II has
been suggested that one of the good-looking
young gentlemen who occupies place at our
table in the establishment, appeared on the
theater of operations in his boots. shirt and
overcoat. We don't believe it. But deficient
costumes we're largely the rage. The night
was too cold, it seemed, even for the people
in town to wake up. 4 couple of gentlemen,
stopping at the Deming, dressed themselves,
ran up TO the Engine House, aud lit the fire
engine before any Of the 6r-men were on
hand. The engine was brought out, but the
FIRE had been already ex,ingushed. cou-
| pie Of gentlemen staying at the hotel slept
without waking through all the noise aud
confusion. The original Seven Sleepen
should open their ranks to admit those two
chaps into membership. One of the guests
lost pocket book, containing considerable
money; we didn't learn the exact amount.
There was but small damage done, and, OF
course, the scare WAS much greater than the
danger.

LKGAL-We call attention to the Law
card of Messrs. Mooar 4 Knowles. Mr..
Mooar has been for several months resi-

A lawyer Of many years successful practice
in Kentucky, he has large reading and eK-
persncs, and these, added to his genial
social traits. and personal worth, cannot fail
to secure for him large share Of public
favor. Mr.. Knowles, native to the manor
born, is almost a lifelong resident of keo.
kuk, and is we'll and favorsbly known to our
citizens. He pursued thorough course OF
the study Of the law under the instruction OF
that eminent jurist, Hon. Samuel +. Miller,
who is so bright an ornament to the profess
sion of the law, and to the Supreme Judiciary
Of the Nation. Shortly after be was admitted
to the bar, Mr.. Knowles went west, where he
remained some four or FIVE years. Recently
returned, be has located here, and will prac-
tice the law He has excellent ability, and
is we'll read in bis profession. Our people,
we are sure, will not be slow in extending to
him hearty support. The Arm is good
one, deserves and will win success.
