was often usual, the separate rights of
tribes. AS q consideration of this, they
should receive two townships OF land
on Salmon river, about fifteen miles
above Fort Lemhi they should be pro-
vided with farming implements, an in
structor in farming, a carpenter, black
smith, an engineer, physician, Mis-
sion school, and a -mill-all of which
would amount to about $4,000 per year,
for a period of twenty years. In addi-
tion to this they were TO receive their
annuities. One universal and protracted
"how-howing" on the part of the Indi-
ans, greeted the Majors speech.
"Tendoy." the chief. then modestly
thanked the Major, and sent his respects
by him TO the Great Grand Father at
Washington but, he continued, 81 have

Blackfeet and Sioux have always done
so, and have always received pay from
our Great Father, while and my tribe

responded The Major, chat is true"
Yes said Tendoy, land the same
tribes have fought US when weak and
small, and taken our horses from us
yet the Great Father has paid them and
nos paid us" Yes, by George" re-
piled the Major, "and that's true, too"
But" continued the chiet. 81 shall sign
and abide by the treaty, and never go
on the war path if my Grand Father
keeps faith with me- HE will, he
will" shouted the Major. seizing
Tendoy by the hand, and shaking
it with a right good will, at
which affecting scene, we have no
doubt tears were shed by the crowd.
The treaty was then signed, and the an
nuities, consisting of blankets. shirts,
knives, hatchets, calico, &c, &c, were
distributed; each one, from the smallest
to the greatest, getting his portion.
The Indians then wound up the en-
tertainment with general dance. which
was accompanied by that delightful
/ bowling, which of all others, renders
night hideous. The visitors returned to

THE LABOR CONGRESS.

Ii has Just met at New York, passed
resolutions, and adjourned. If it thinks
il has done more than this, we are in
clined TO the belief that il is mistaken.
For many years, more especially during
those last passed, there have been con-
contents, to effect change in the laws
which govern the labor OF the country
in its relation to capital, One of the
most prominent of these attempts at
tanned to public prominence in the eight
hour mOvement-the embodiment of
one of the most Quixotic ideas of the
century, and which has served for no
other purpose than as a hobby upon
which cunning political demagogues
could ride into office. It has, more re-
Gently, excited the ridicule of the whole
country, and is now being extensively
caricatured by the various comic publi-
cations. No long argument is needed
TO prove the absurdity of the move
ment. 1t has been decreed that man
shall earn his bread by the sweat of his
brow, and this he must do despite
the fact that to live without work would
be very plea SAINT, and despite any law
that might be passed to that effect.
How would an eight-hour law have ope-
rated among the first settlers, who pro-
vided themselves with everything by
means of their own hands They
would have sown and reaped and spun
daily, until the eight hours was mp, and
then stopped. Before the winter was
over, they would have found themselves
destitute Since those early days, times
have changed, and the world, TO a GER
tain extent, has become n great co-ope-
rative society. This society works ten
hours per day, and finds that il is no
more than able TO meet the demands

Fair Grounds will be one dollar in ours
rency, instead of fifty cents, as publish

RAILROAD BUILDING IN CALIFORNIA. =.
The San Jose road extension to Gill
roy, thirty miles in length, will be com
pleted, it is promised, by December next.
This road is prosperous, and the coun-
try and towns through which ft passes
are in highly fiourishing condition.
Subscriptions are being received for
the building of railroad from Anheim
to Buenaventuras, in Los Angeles Coun-
ty, distance of nearly fifty miles.
The railroad from Vallejo to Sscra-
mento is now completed for forty-siX
miles, TO Davisville, which is within
fourteen miles of Sacramento. The por-
ton Vet to be built, will be on piles,
because the country is subject to over-
flow in winter, 10 depths of from three
TO fifteen feet.
Several railroads are under active
headway in Napa, Solano and Marian
counties. The commencement of work

construction of a road from Davisville
to Woodland this year.
A contract has been made for grading
ten miles of the San Francisco and

belief that the entire distance To Santa
Rosa. sixteen miles, can be completed
before that time. Arrangements are
being made to purchase forty miles OF

per is being circulated among the citi-
zens, for subscriptions 10 a railroad from

ACQUTTTAL OF HrR. PINNEY.


The examination of Mr.. Pinney be-
fore United States Commissioner Hedg-
es. for the shooting of Ex-Governor :.
w. Beall attracted to the Court House
yesterday, a very large number of our
citizens who were desirous of learning
all the particulars connected with the
unfortunate occurrence referred to. A
number of witnesses were called on be-
halfof the prosecution, whose testimony
appears elsewhere. 1t soon became ev-
ident, not only to the spectators, but TO
the attorneys for the prosecution, that it
was impossible to find Mr.. Pinney guilty
of any offense, or any act other than that
which the most peaceable citizen would
be compelled TO resort to under the cir
cumstances which surrounded him.
Judge Williams, the principal attorney
on behalf of the prosecution therefore
arose and addressed the Court substan-
TALLY as follows:
% We have searched for evidence in
every direction to which our attention
has been called have prosecuted the
case with diligence, and have done every
thing in our power to secure evidence,
and are satisfied by the developments
that it would be contrary to law and a
sense of justice TO ask this or any other
Court to hold the defendant over to ap-
pear at any higher tribunal. We are
not disposed to make this prosecution a
persecution, and we therefore desire to
withdraw from the suit, which we re-
fuse to prosecute further, and ask that
the case be dismissed
This statement, coming as it did, from
one who was engaged almost ex-
clusively in the prosecution of
criminal cases iE the State of
California for three years, and
from one whose duty it was to procure.
IL possible, the defendants conviction
Of a high crime, furnishes not only the
most conclusive evidence of Mr.. Pinney's
entire justification, but testiies in a
moral principles, the sense of right, and
the appreciation of justice which
prompted its utterance. In compliance
with the motion of the counsel tor the
prosecution, Commissioner Hedges dis
missed the case and Mr.. Pinney was dis
charged from custody. While this pro~
ceeding was eminently just and highly
gratifying to the many friends of the
defendant, who crowded about him to
congratulate him upon the result, it de.
prived Mr.. Pinney for the time, at least,
of presenting other testimony, which he
much desired to bring to the attention
of the court and the public. This evil
dence will not, however, be so easily
suppressed as some may have thought,
but will shortly be presented to the
public. Mr.. Pinney has been acquitted
of all blame in the matter by the proper
courts and in the most emphatic man.
Der, his prosecutors, even, being unable
to find anything against him. Yet the
evidence produced in court wes only for
the prosecution. He will therefore soon
present to the pubic some of the testi-
mony which would have been given for
the defense had the opportunity not
been deprived him by the dismissal of
the case as stated.

Chicago Election.

The vote in Chicago on Tuesday result
in the election of McAllister (Democrat)
judge of the recorders court, by 90 ma
jority, and O'Hara Democrat as Clerk by
120 majority. The total vote polled was
1858, against 27,079 in the last Presiden-
tial election. The Republicans elect ten
of the new Alderman, and the Democrats
seven. The common council for next year
will stand, 20 Republicans to IL Demo
Gratis.
The Tribune commenting on the election
says:
The philosophy of the election is very
simple. Mr.. McAllister, the Democratic
nominee for Judge, has resided in the city
fifteen years and is well known to the PEG,
pie. Colonel Smith has lived here only
three years, and is personally known to
but few. The bar voted almost unani-
mously for McAllister, and exerted their
influence for him. This circumstance
alone is sufficient to account for the nine
hundred votes by which he leads his op-
ponent.
The lesson of the day will not be lost on
the Republicans of Chicago. They will
now understand the nature of the work
they have to do to carry the city next fell.
A SILVER of this kind will do us no harm
Chicago is Republican city by 1000 ma
jority on a full vote, and the Presidential
contest will develop the fact.
