POLITICAL v1EWs OF OUR GEN.

The Washington correspondent of the
Worcester (Aass.) Spy, in abiding to
the Military Reconstruction bill, says /:
In view Of the power which, BY the
bill, 10 to DO ~intrusted to the officers Of
the army, it may be worth while in
curing what their opinions will be like
" to be. Of course the General and
Lieutenant General are not to DO con-
sidered. The one cannot be sent from
here, and the other has important duties
assigned him. Grant was formerly a
Democrat ; is not . man OF warm polit-
ical feelings, and may now be set down
~ a Conservative Republican.
Sherman is organically wrong. He 10
. ra~ce-hater, and oligarchic by instinct.
Though his brain may accept the issues
Of the war, his temperament will fight
against their logical conclusions. He
wal . thorough Unionist, but. intensely
%pro-slavery. He is Of the Same stripe
still. Ispeak from some personal know
ledge Of his former opinions.
Meade has been . johnson He
10, I believe, q War Democrat in politics
and an aristocrst BY instincts.
Sheridan never had any politics be-
fore the war. He used occasionally to
declare in the early part of the war,
when serving IS Chief Quartermaster
with the late General Samuel r. Curtis,
that the Abolitionists and Secessionists
ought to be hung together. Since then
be has travelled far. Sheridan may DO
considered . Radical.
Thomas-"0ld Steady"-is to my
mind the finest soldier and citizen the
regular army has given Us. He is an
e~minently national man, is just, able,
unbending, and endowed with great ad-
ministrstive abilities. In many respects
he more resembles the historic George
Washington than any man now on the
stage. But he will not be selected, as
his present command gives him control
over several Of the States.
Hancock is . johnson man, or, |
should rather say, was. He is consid-
cred q fair and just man.
or tho Brigsdier Generals, there is
koPo, "03cAeho NoPuoiiSoh ~ ia
excellent administrator.
Scho6eld, now commanding in Vir-
giniA, was u Conservative Republican
when tho var broke out. He did not
grow any moro radical until his recent
experiences commanding in Virginia.
He is = safe man. ..
Terry is, al we all know, a Radical.
BE will hardly be selected, having been
honorably banished to Dakota for that
offense.
Philip St. George Cooke is out on the
Plains. He is a Conservstive-perhaps
q little worse. His present place is just
suited to him, as his life has been spent
on tho frontier.
Hooker is q good Republican, as is
also Mcdowell. Tho latter 10 on the
Pacific, and tho former is available.
Ord is q Msrylander, a Conservative,
but Union men from Arkansas say he is
q just man, and true to the country. He
Is in command thore. Candy is the last
Brigadier, and commands at this point.
He 10 8 Conservative, but under Stan
tons influence. Howard is at the head
Of the Freedmen's Bureau.

MATRIMONIAL ISylLIcrrIEs.-A letter
from Chicago says domestic unhappi-
ness is very prevalent in that city, and
applications for divorce are of daily &C.
currence. The following specimens are
given:
"0ne Of Jul leading city clergymen,
in his pulpit, in commenting upon this
alarming matrimonial Generalization,
related a case that came under his own
observation. During the past week .
lady, hitherto regarded as highly re-
spectacle, came to him and wished to
consult him, as her pastor, in relation
to getting a divorce from her husband.
The clergyman, greatly ~sstonished asked
for what cause she sought 9 divorce.
She replied that her husband, when she
married him, was quito wealthy, but had
lately become so reduced in circum-
stances as to be unable to supply her
with the Injuries to which she had been
accustomed, and this vas the whole
ground for seeking q divorce. The
clergyman dismissed her with a sharp
admonition.
"Anothsr lady, q few days since,
went to a lawyer and sought his advice
as to the quickest way Of getting q di-
vorce from her husband. When asked
for a cause, she replied that her husband
was so cross she could moi tolerate him.
She acknowledged that be never showed
any signs of violence towards her, and
that he supplied her with every ne
cessity.
"Another quite we'll known lady,
some time since, sought by letter the
protection Of a we'll known banker, be-
cause her husband wal unable to graft
fy her fashionable tastes"

CArHoLIcIsx.-The boldest man that
signed the Declaration Of Independence,
was Charles Carroll, Of Csrrollton, a
Catholic; the most distinguished foreign
er that aided the colonies in their strug-
gle with Great Britain, was Lafayette,
a Catholic; the first European power
that recognized the independence Of the
United States, WAS Catholic France, and
the only denomination that George
Washington found occasion to thank,
officially, for their patriotic uuanimity
during the Revolutionary wal was the
Catholic denomination. Yet tho Sac
mento Union, and kindred sheets in
California, are now engaged especially
in denouncing the Catholic religion, a.
alleged to be inimical to republican
liberty.

Appeal announces that Governor Bias

Supreme Bench, occasioned by the death
Of Judge Brosnan. 1t could not be sus-
pected that our Conscientious Governor
was waiting upon any bargain, but un-
doubtedly attending to and thoroughly
canvassing the numerous petitions re-
ceived fron.various parts Of the country,
asking the appointment of some ambi.
tious lawyer. The different candidates
are Welty, Of this county, Nourse, Of
Ormsby, Mesick and Whitman, Of Sto-

On! YE Cons AND LITTLE FIsHls?-
Some six weeks ago, the Enterprise
bucked lik Il Spanish mustang, because
we said the Republican party was in
favor of universal suffrage. 1t denied
it; said it WAS impartial suffrage for eit-
Gems of the United States, and not uni
per,al suffrage; that a Chinaman was
not a citizen, etc. The Enterprise now
wa1eth exceedingly hot for Congress to
change naturalization laws, so a China
man can become a citizen, and then it
wants the ballot placed in his hands, so
he can protect his rights and liberties.
Mark il! it will not be twelve months
before the Enterprise goes in for putting
the ballot in the hands Of the lousiest
Digger and Piute on the Pacific Coast
Humboh Register.

RAILROAD SLAUGHrER.-The jury in
the case of Klein vs.. The Pacific Rail-
road Company, after having been out
about twenty hours, reported their in
ability to agree in the District Court at
9 O'Clock yesterday morning. The jury
was then discharged. In this case Frank
Klein, IL boy II years Of age, got upon
one of the cars on Sixth street on the
I'd of May last, and in a few minutes
was run over and had his right leg cut
off below the knee. Klein testified in
Court in the most positive manner that
he was knocked from the car by Con-
ductor Watson. Watson, on the other
hand, wor equally positively that he
did not touch Klein, but that on asking
him in n sharp tone what he got on the
car for, he jumped off, and in trying to
get up had his leg cut off. A number
Of other witnesses were examined. Il
is rumored that ten Of the jury were
balloted in favor Of giving plaintiff Sl0,-
900 damages, while one was willing to
give 81 1900, and one $500. The case
will, Of course, be tried II second time

THE OLD TOPIC.

-
In looking over the report Of the State
Surveyor General-a most valuable
eompilation-our thoughts, our hopes
have been again turned with special
emphasis to the project for q railroad
hence to the Truckee. Why will not
our mine and mill men make some
organized effort this seaSo for begin
ming so important a work? Our mines
generally are in = healthy paying condi-
tion-what are known as the paying
mines of this county have, with = single
exception, not produced or promised 30
we'll in two years. II a subscription
can be had from them equal to the
AMOUNT formerly proposed by a majority
Of them to be offered, the construction
can BE- inaugura.ed At once; for the
formation and the securing Of all need
full rights and suthority under it are
very easy matters. The survey and
plans Of the company that formerly held
the franchise can be secured by the sim
pie payment Of the surveying eIpsnss'-
q few thousand dollars. So We have been
repeatedly assured. Surveyor james says
that a three foot track a be laid on
the route, on good operating grade, for
ST., 800, 900. Storey could we'll afford
to provide one-third ofthis amount. In
deed, the counties Of Storey, Ormsby
and Washoe would be fully warranted,
from the enhanced value Of property,
that would ensue, to divide the cost Of
such a road proportionstely between
them. The experience Of last winter on
hard roads-soft roads, i~ndeed-has
given a lesson in favor of a railroad
such as ought to be headed By energetic
efforts on the part Of our mining COM
panies to start tho work Of railroad
building on the line already mapped.
A railroad from the selected depot site
in Virginia for q distance Of Eve or siI
miles on the proposed route would
bridge the ''bad going" Of the winter
season, from our mines millward. Even
so much of q road would pay for itsel!
in a year, as the of presented and in
dispu,able records provo.
May we not expect to soon hear Of q
s'6usiaeI," move in tho locomotive d.
rection indicated.

"BoYs WILL De BoYs."-We were re-
minded forcibly of this truism yesterday
in passing the corner Of Eighth and &
streets. On G street, Mt that point, is a
pool of stsgnant water from one to two
feet deep, and literally alive with frogs
and polywogs. In this had gathered a
dozen or fifteen youngsters around with
tin cans and with breeches rolled up as
far as the bifurcated anatomy would al
low, sloshing around in the liveliest
possible manner, having a good time.
Wet and muddy was nc worse for the
condition Of most Of boys; and when
asked what in the world they were do
ing, the reply from at lest a dozen
mouths was, "Why catching polywogs."
It would have been amusing to have
seen some of tho mothers Of these ur-
chins make their appearance just then.
The question as to what they would do
with the polywogs WAS answered with
equal readiness, ~"nothing." Boys
will be boys."-Sae. Record.
