FINANCIAL FIDDLE-FADDLES,

The Call tells its readers that "6nan-
cial and o;her circles Especially the
''other" eircles-were agog yesterday
with reports of s;upendous failures.
No failures, stupendous or otherwise
occurred yesterday; nor were any an
ticipated among business men. But
the editorial of the Call, which an
nounced the impending crash, did not a
little asiound and perplex those VINO
thought they knew something abou.
financial affairs in this city. In the
meanwhile nobody has failed.
The above is from the San Francisco
Times of October 81. What is the
meaning of this evident sensitiveness
on the part of the Times. 1t is widely
believed-perhaps erFoneously-that a
certain well known capitalist of Cali
fornia was the power against which The
Times has been leaning. Did tie Calls
article hint ct that capitalists failure?
Perhaps so very likely SO, in fact; for
there was very ugly rumor on the
street yesterday-one which We sincerely
hope is not true.

TgE BULLION BUSINESS OF WHITE
PIN1.-The showing made by the sub
joine6 f.ures, which are from an item
in tie Inland Empire of the goth inst,
indicates no. only that Mr.. Luther has
been doing a good business during the
past year, but that White Pine ore has
been producing a liberal harvest OF
bullion:
The following is statement of the
business of ore of our White Pine as
say ofiees-that of Thomas NJ. Luther,
of Shermantown-fo one year: Bullion
melted and assayed from October 10,
1868, to October Is, 1869, 81 ,oo5, l49 81.
The weight, computed atan average
fineness Of 975, would be 27 tons 6ss
pounds. The number of assays made
during the year was 5,273. Pretty
good, we should think, for one oniee,
where there are q dozen or more sim
liar establishments, all driving lively
business.

State has had bat this one market, this
nonopolizing, grasping mart to which
to take and from which to fetch her
wares.
This "show-case" simile is sugges-
tive of . better illustration. The rich
man who should retire from trade and
then spend every cent he possessed in
building an enormous monument OF
bricks and stone leaving himself in
hunger and rags would better typify
the condition which the impoverished
interior of California bears to San Fran
cisco.
The Bay City is not to be blamed
because it has so long been the only
market for California and Nevada. But
its moneyed men are to blame for ad-
herring to the falsest policy that ever
got fastened upon people, usury in
all its branches of trade, from its
"banking" to its traffic in merchandise.
The great railroad has pricked the
bubble. The defiance of all the correct
and safe laws of trade which has so
long been manifest in San Francisco
must be brought face to face with that
which it has set at naught. A revolu.
ton is at hand. When it has come and
gone there will come al era of prosperity.

DsPHAr OF JUDGE provinces IN

DEPEAr OF JUDGE provinces IN San
FRANcIsco.-There has been one highly
| beneficial result from the late election
in San Francisco. That City has, for a
long time, been pestered with one Judge
provinces, . malignant partizau and a
person whose elastic conscience as Po-
lice Judge has induced some most
offensive acts upon bis part; and this
man being. at the last Democratic Con-
vention in that city, nominated through
indecent means, to the District Judge
ship, the Tax Payers Union nominated
Judge McKinstry as his opponent; and,
as we see by the Gail of THURSDAY,
McKinstry is elected by e majority of
sci. That paper, loud as it is in its
professions of democrat principles
has not the hardwood to deny that
provinces defeat is healthful result,
and has the independence to comment
as follows:
The result CT the election in this city,
yesterday. hiss been a complete demol-
ishment Of that system of political
manipulation in which one or two men
undertakes to use party and the pub
lie selfsbly for their own benefit. The
public and parties are sometimes long
suffering, and endure much before they
rebel. Bat there is point beyond
which it is not safe for politicians to
venture. Fer at times those asses,
political parties, aad that great ass, the
public, grow FESTIVE and kick out of
the traces. Yesterday was one of those
occasions when the donkeys did kick
in a very plain way, upset the cart,
slipped their saddles, and took the bits
in their teeth. Politicians should learn
a lesson. The Police force has been
used for two years past chilly for the
purpose of continuing two men in
power. This became so palpable that
the public resented it and even the
party of these two men Joined in the
act of defeating them. Hereafter let
Us have Conventions, if they must
inflict us, based upon honest principles,
AID used for honest and unselfish pur'
poses.
The "two men" alluded to in the
above as having been kept in power BY
improper acts are McCoppin and
provinces.

MATTERS AND AEiNoS IN AbAShA.
We have received q copy of the Alaska
Times, published at Sitka, the Capt.
tai of our newly acquired North West
ern possessions. 1t contains a great
deal Of interesting local matter and we
make the following extracts from the
number before US which is dated Sept.
IL, 1863:
SIrKA A BorAxY BAY.-Thirty con-
vict soldiers came to this place on the
sNewberne," Sept. sth, to serve out
their term of penal service. They were
too incorrigible to remain in California,
where the Government is supposed to
have buildings strong enough to hold
them; SO they have been sent to Sitka,
where there is no suitable place for
keeping them at all. The poor Russian
element of our population will be likely
to suffer from their presence, as they
havs always borne the brunt Of out
rageous conduct. II is perhaps we'll
for the War Department to make
Botany Bay settlement out of Sitka; but
we now most earnestly protest that if
they do, the Government shall erect a
suitable stone building to keep them
in, and that too not in the very heart
of the town of Sitka, but on Japonsky
Island, where the troops themselves
should long since have been stationed.
BFEF.-Among the arrivals on the
"Newberne" was our fellow citizen,
Mr.. Ike Bergman, who having secured
the Government contract for beef at
this post went below to purchase. He
has returned with only a few beef
cattle and about one hundred sheep.
We are very sorry for this, as our people
are actually starving for want OF fresh
beef. We have not tasted any for more
than six months, and everybody was
lotting on a feast when "lsaac" should
return. Mutton is very good but every
body don't like it. The similarly be-
tween it and venison is too great. Beef
steak is always good, if the quality be
good. We understand, however, that
we can get, perhaps FIVE or ten pounds
a month. It will seem like an angelic
vision of the Happy Land when We do
get a taste of the delicious morsel. We
ensy the boys in blue their good luck
in this respect, and then as an after
thought we feel like cursing the De-
partments and officials who, by :heir
regulations, and rapacious
conduct, have destroyed our commerce,
cut of our supplies and well nigh made
of the country ''ihing only in name. "
ALASKA APpLEs.--Cap,ain Henriques
Of the r. c. Lincoln, showed Us speci-
men of Alaska apples which he brought
M from Fort Tongas a few days ago.
They look like the American crab
apples but ere not quite as large. They
are TO be found in great quantities on
most Of the islands in and around Sitka,
and down as far as Portland Canal.
They don't seem to be doing very
veil in morals, beef and apples in the
lew territory if we may judge from
hese illusions to late immigrations, !
neat cattle and f.uit.

Bad Stale OF Things In the Vicinity Of


Bad Stale Of Things I'm the Vicinity of
Kingston
RICHMOND, Jan. 30.-A dispatch from
Goldsboro, n. c., states that the greatest
excitement prevails at Kingston, in con-
sequence of the lynching of five
prisoners there on Saturday night last.
The names of the victims were Richard
Mobiles, White and Robert Grady, John
Miller, Kader Herring, and Daniel Smith,
colored. A person near by the scene
heard the discharging of the pistols as
the prisoners we're shot on the bridge,
and the heavy splashes of the bodies as
they were thrown into the river. King
ston is in state of siege by the negroes
of the surrounding country, who threat
en- TO liberate the remaining prisoners in
Jail, and burn the town. The whites
are all armed with such weapons as are
at their command, guarding their houses.
Pickets are stationed in the suburbs at
night.
Another horrible outrage has occurred
in Duplen County. A white man, who
fired upon a party of negroes while at
tempting TO violate the persons of some
young ladies, was murdered in his house
on the following night, and his body cut
in halves and hung up in the room in
which he slept. No arrests have been
made in either of the cases. Lawless-
ness and anarchy exist in the entire Sec
ton of the country to such an extent as
TO justify the calling out and arming Of
tho militia by the Governor. The civil
authorities are powerless to suppress this
fearful carnival of crime.

New YORK, Jan. 30.--t is reported
that newspaper compositors contemplate
advancing their rates TO sixty cents per
1000 ems in the event the book and Job
printers succeed in obtaining their de-
mands. Several large houses talk Of en-
plOying women, and Susan Anthony and
Mrs Stanton are urging such 4 course.
There is little prospect Of the printers
getting the rates they ask. .
II is officially announced that the
Pennsylvania Railroad has leased, for
i6rty>four years, the Columbus, Chicago
and Indiana Central Railroad, running
from Columbus. As the Pennsylvania
company already controls the roads be-
tween Pittsburg and Columbus, this lease
with their own road through Pennsylva-
MIA, gives them an unbroken line from
Philadelphia-and, by the New Jersey
Central road, frem New York-to Chi
cage. Other arrangements, nearly per-
fected, will carry the line to st. Louis.
The number Of miles road thus united in
the hands of a single company will not be
far from two thousand.
Jay Gould acting for the Erie railroad
company, had nearly completed the lease
of the Columbus and Chicago road, but
the Pennsylvania company stepped in at
the last moment and offered better terms.
Unless, therefore, the Erie can get the
Central Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chi
c ago railroad, as it is now striving to do,
It will be unable to secure through con>
FnectiOn to Chicago, except by building a
line from Akren TO Toledo, as projected
last winter.

HORN HEAD DRESSES.

We must commiserate the unfortunate
Charles VI, of France, who sought to be-
guile thought in any way, however
puerile, when we remember what man
ner Of woman was his coarse and cruel
consort, Isabella, of Bavaria. Surely no
man in his senses can wonder that the
sight of her did occasionally scare the inn
beetle King, for on her head she wore
horns, and these grew wider, and, in pro-
portion. higher. This formidable horn
head>dress, variously decked with jewels
and fur, was introduced into France by
the Queen above named, and became
eventually so mOnstrOus that the horns
growing at least two yards apart from
each other, doorways were enlarged to
admit the breadth Of them. And not
only horns, but tails were at that time
worn by ladies, and to the robes queue,
or long train dresses, were attached
sleeves which swept the ground. In adj
dition to all this it may be observed that
ornaments resembling animals ears,
were sometimes appended to the horns,
but the under garments of this amazing
costume were usually of wool or coarse
cloth, for fine linen was at that time so
rare in France that the mighty Isabella
herself possessed buta scant supply of it
