Social LIFE N WAsHfNGToS-washinpt
Is to have its gay Winter; we see many Sena-
tons and members have purchased fine resi-
dences. Speaker Blaine, Governor Swan, and
Fernando Wood are now furnishing adjoining
houses in grand style. just opposite is Sec
rotary Fish on one corner and General Butler
on the other as entertainers. In the west end,
Bancroft, Davis, Senator Pomeroy. Postmas-
ter-General Creswell, and others, own hand
some residences. This for social life In
business way, Washington Is in decline,
though an FL Dorado was promised if Grant
was elected. Since 1857 the city has not seen
sloomier days. Real estate is depressed, man
ufactories-there were but few-have about
ceased, and some three thousand Government
employees, in a certain sense producers, have
been turned into the streets. Forney now
says:
People with capital to invest 60 on build
ing stores, restaurants, and other trading
places, while others rent them and stock them
with goods, apparently regardless of the ques-
ton where customers are to come from. We
can point to rows of stores Just completed,
and most Of them awaiting tenents, while
many of those now engaged in business find
their profits scarcely equal 70 their current
expense for rent and clerk hire."-Netc York

FALLEN MEN.-The latest suggestion from
the enterprising ladies Of the Revolution news
paper is, the immediate establishment, at ell
gible points, of Homes for Fallen Men,
This idea has the merit of originality, at
least. These men, they say do not desire to
be bad. They are led Hstray by false curl,
little rounded form, wink Of the eye, n
smile, or the fluttering of a handkerchief. I"
From these temptations the "strong- minded"
desire to remove them. But will the FALLEN
men" accept their good offices7 We. expect
not.

ASoTHEH ''RIGHT- HASDER" FR6M DlSA.-
Speaking of the resignation Of the golden-
winged Butterfly, Dana deals another right
handler" at Grant after this fashion:
General Grant will now have to consider
who TO appoint as General Butterfeld's sue
cessor, No doubt the candidates will be
plenty: but We wish TO call the attention of
the President to one simple principle which
he cannot safely depart from IN making the
selection. 1t is this: No man o1n Je appointed
'ehO has made donations Of money, houses, or
anything else to Gen. Grant, or Gen. sherman.
who paid over to Gen. Grant a large part of
the money he received. No matter whether
the candidate be tit and capable in all other
respects, if he is n pecuniary benefactor of the
President or the general of the army, he must
be excluded. The dignity of the Presidential
Office, "a well as the good name of the actual
President, has already been sufficiently dam
aged by disregard of this principle, and it will
not answer to disregard it any longer. Every
man who has given gifts to the President or
Gen. Sherman is thereby rendered morally in
eligible to any Office ofpower or emolument.

The Elko independent. [volume] (Elko, Nev.) 1869-1872, 1869-11-13

The country has been very generally in
formed that the President and Mrs. Grant
''have ceased all social connection with their
relative, Mr.. A. Il. Corbin, of New York. &"
The reason assigned for this is, that Mr.
Corbin, .'by duplicity, connected" the Pres
ident and Mrs. Grant with the gold conspir-
acy. NJ.
Thus far there is not a particle of evidence
20 show that Corbin, in any way, deceived the
President in regard to the conspiracy, or
failed to fully inform him of its existence and
purpose.
Whose testimony condemns Corbin? That
OF Fisk and Gould. The same testimony
shows that Grant and his wife were specu-
hating in bonds and gold, and that the former
made $1,000 in so doing, and that Mrs. Grant
made SIS, 600. a .........-.Ir = -
We have asked before, and now repeat, why
should the testimony of Fisk and Gould be
accepted as conclusive of the guilt Of Butter
field and Corbin, and be rejected when touch
ing the connection of the President and Mrs
Grant with the conspiracy? Ifthey are vera
cious witnesses, their entire statement should
be accepted t# one ls
If they are unworthy of credit, no suspicion
should attach TO Butterfield and Corbin.-Cy,i-

| ing, and from several others we have informa.
ton that he lost about $500 in greenbacks that
night at faro, in Boise City. The matter to us
seems plain. Sterling could not seduce Arm
strong while duly sober, but he first debu std
him by wine-drugged for the purpose, per
haps,-and then, when sense and reason and
honor were dethroned, put greenbacks in his
hands, and got his poor fallen dupe and victim
to write that "Report," while the nerves were
yet in play, and the mechanical act of writing
under the impulse of wild brain could be
performed by Armstrong; with his usual we'll
known skill And it is this " Report he
screens himself behind-this corrupt, peculat-
ing, criminally dishonest Treasurer, f. C. Ster-
ling,-when charged with any of his misdeeds
IN Office. The tlmsy thing will not avail him.
He is guilty, and we believe the Territorial
Executive, by whose pertidy and trickery Ster-
ling continues to hold office, is fully knowing to
his guilt, and we say this on something much
more substantial than suspicion.
