The Row AT LUCIS.-Wedncsday evening
there were eighteen men brought to this place
confined in u box-car, charged with almost
everything that's bad. As near as we can find
out, the following is about the truth: On Sun
day, while the agent of the C.. z. L. r. ut
Lucin was absent, two section men went into
his office and stole key of wine After
drinking the wine they went back and helped
themselves to whatever they wanted. and
threatened to hang Marsh if he interfered
They secured n keg of whisky and opened u
public bar free gratis, and in n short time con-
cluded To hang Marsh just TO finish up the
job. Fortunately, westward bound passen-
ger train came along just at this time and
Marsh secrcted himself on 1t. The drunken
mob, armed with clubs, hatchcts and ham
mers, boarded the train, and it took the per-
sugSlve eloquence Of the conductors six
shooter to get them of. They chopped and
broke the seats, frightened tile passengers.
and threatened the life of the engineer On
Tuesday, Superintendent Campbell sent mp "A
force of thirty armed men and arrested all of
the mob but one, who took To the bush The
rioters are having an examination to-day hr-
fore Justice Aiayhugh. II wou!d be a good
thing if one Of these gangs should some day
run against a train of California passengers
they would wish they had let the job out.

THE SITUATION IN MIssIssIppr-SnceJ Judge
Dent, brother-in-lOw of President Grant, con-
scented to become a candidate for Governor of
Mississippi, strong opposition has been de-
veloped in the ultra Radical wing Of the party
in Washington, which may cause trouble be-
fore it is arranged. 1t is charged at Wash
ington that the movement in Mississippi in
favor of Dent is engineered by the same ele-
ment which supported Walker in Virginia and
Sontor in Tennessee. The friends of Dent,
Senter and Walker claim that Grant secretly
sympathizes with them, and in tho event OF
success will see that no obstacles are placed
in their way to prevent their assuming the
reins of power. With the whole power Of the
Conservative portion of the Republican party
to back him, both North and South, we think
Grant will he master of the situation

Rich ORE From Bull Res DISTRICT We
were shown some rich and beautiful spcci-
mems of ore yesterday by q. L. Tucker, who
has just returned from Bull Run district, and
from whom we learn some facts concerning his
mines and the district. The ore exhibited TO
us was from the Porter ledge, which was To-
Gated by Mr.. Tucker and associates on the ODD
of last month. The ledge crops above the
ground distance of $50 feet. is from two 10
four feet i'll thickness and shows rich ore the
entire distance. MIR. Tucker had two ASSAYS
made OF the ore since his return one of which
went Silly and the other 81 100 ST. MIR
Tucker also had 5000 pounds taken out of the
mine which Is now on the way in and is eX-
pected to arrive Mt any time which he intends
taking to San Francisco for working, and
which good judges are confident will pay from
5000 to LOCO to the ton. The mines in Bull
Run district are very favorbly located for
working, as there is IA great abundance of pine
timber III the country, of large, fine growth,
many trees being as much as one hundred feet
in height. The distance from here 10 Bull
Hun is about seventy miles, over a fine rond
the entire distance. Grass and water are also
abundant i'll that district, which, all things
considered, promises to be n fOurishng min
ing camp. Mr.. Tucker had with him n fine
lot of specimens from new discoveries IN Cone
district, which he intends taking below for
parties up there, to have assaycd in San Fran
cisco. He says that new discoveries are being
made every day in both these districts.

The LITTLE GIANT LEDaE.-A recent dis
covery in Cope district, named the Little
Giant, is said to be equal to anything hereto
fore found in that district. Mr.. Fisk, the dis
coverer, arrived in town on Thursday, with q
lot Of the ore, which is literally covered with
horn silver, notwithstanding il was broken
of cappings higher than the surrounding
country rock. +. A, Laumeister, one Of the
owners, intends shipping few hundred
pounds TO San Francisco Immediately, to test
the quality of the ore.

RUMoRED TRANSFER or RoAD.-It il rumored
among railroad men that the negotiations for
some time pending between the two compa-
MES for transfer Of that part Of the road be-
tween Ogden and Promontory to the Central
Pacific have at last eliminated in the transfer

travelling public. as there was no place along

mento which inspired half 80 many terrors
and such disgust as the detention and change
Of cars ut Promontory. The Central Pacific
had large amount of material ut the front
which they have heretofore declined to move
back so that should all efforts at compro-
mise fail, they would have the material at
hand to enable them to lay down an indepon-
dent road of their own to Ogden, but this ma
terial is now going west in small quantities,
which strengthens the rumor Of railroad men.

IT is estimated that there are at least SO, 600
American families permanently established in
Europe, living upon the incomes of American
investments, and enjoying the protection OF
the American Government, without con-
| tributing one iota to the payment of our taxes,
or toward the wealth of the country by their
productive labor.-ErchqRye.
That is the result of protection to American
industry which runs up the cost of production
in this country to such exorbitant figures that
men prefer TO so abroad to spend their in
comes. Those living abroad however, con-
stitute but part of the evils under which we
labor. In addition TO the fifty thousand who
spend their incomes abroad, it is esti-
mated that more than one billion of Ameri-
can securities are held abroad, drawing annu-
ally between fifty and sixty millions of inter
est in gold, which as soon as paid passes over
the water to be expended in palaces and gilded
salons in Europe. The greater part of this
enormous sum being in the shape Of Govern
ment bonds, it pays no taxes in any shape for
the support of the Government. Between
those who 90 abroad to escape the high rates
of living in this country and those who live
abroad but hold our securities, we are tending
NO"hiu hLt SNiiht u Europe winch the
British possessions in india bear to the Home
Government.
The United States will soon be regarded as
an outpost or western dependency Of Europe,
where money may be made but not enjoyed,
and hence we may look for the present out
flow of the wealthy and inflow of the poor to
continue. The wealthy, however, while ex-
patriating themselves, take good care to hold
on to six per cent. gold securities, houses
which rent at enormous figures when COM
pared with the original cost, and other species
of productive property, from the profits of
which bankers are constantly renting large
sums, always in coin, thus draining our coun-
try of its precious metals and eating up its
substance without giving any equivalent there
for in material aid to the country from which
these incomes are derived.

The Jury retired at fifteen minutes before five
O'Clock and after celebrating for hour they re-
turned into court with verdict for the plaintiff of
$1,000 damages. Several Of the jury were IN favor
