PoLrrIcAL.-Politicians are now beginning
10 make their moves on the political chess
board IN this State. Senators Tri.le and
Haiues are making bold dashes to checkmate
| each other for the gubcrnatorial chair. Lieu
tenant Governor Slingerland aud Secretary
N-.eware have advanced a pawn or two in
that direction. Generals Edwards and Mi
ghels have each lost a knight in a skirmish.
Governor Blasde, is guarding well his queen,
while General Winters is strongly terrifying
his castle for Nye's succession. J. d. Minor
risks q bishop, being o Christian, for the
Secre,aryship OF State. G. W. Fox, Of Bat
tie Mountain, naSs the bishop on his course
TO the State Treasury. Senator Wclty strikes
boldly gu, for the Supreme Bench. Will
Campbell desires to be called General and
throw Attorney in. D. H.. Haskell! will make
il very hot for Fitch. Brother Lewis, OF the
Crescent, would like to control the Sta:a.
While these little amusements are being had
in the enemy's camp, the Democrats arc
looking on with great qualification, knowing
they will come in and sweep the board. The
big fight in the Republican Convention will
be between Haincs and Tritlc. They are
both in the interest Of the California Bank,
Comstock and Virginia and Truckee Rail-
road. When the Convention comes off, those
who oppose these interests will scarcely be

his own goose already. Slingerland will be
content with the Lieutenantcy. Edwards
will conclude that the State Senate is more
certain Of obtaining, and God only knows
what conclusion brother Mighels will come
to. He is SO eccentric, SO chapgeable. He
will take anything he can get, and what ne
would not take would not be worth having.
Brother Lewis appears to have no compe-
,;tor cScept IL might be brother Lynch; but
as they are warm bosom friends, a compro-
mise will be made.-HumboM Register.
"Du tell" We should just like 10
know how brother Bonnifeld found out
all this information as to how the Re-
publican chess board stood? Will he
now tell u, how the Democratic card,
cut? It is true, there is plenty of time
between now and the election, but
politics are evidently getting lively in
the '.great East"

THE ATTEMPT TO aBEARn OUR
MINES.
There is no great diversity Of opiui

There is no great diversity Of opinion
absut the action Of the Consolidated
Chloride Flat Company in closing their
mines. The easen is obvious to all who
are familiar with mining and the devil
Gus ways of San Francisco operators.
Some Of the parties in interest are
highly indignant that a public journal
should animadvert on the conduct OF
these operators, and affect to believe
that matters Of this kind are strictly
private in their character, and not
within the province OF newspaper dis
cussion. The plea is simply ridiculous.
If o set of men enter into conspiracy for
the purpose of concentrating an object
detrimental to a community they are
amensble to the just censure of public
opinion /; and if they as bearing"
and "bulliug" operations invariably
do, to injuriously affec; the value of the
properly of others, such combinations
are clearly illegal and, under a strict
administration Of law, iudictablo and
punishable. But the immunity which
nowadays attends the sharp practices
of unscrupulous operators prscludes the
possibility of successfully invoking the
law in such cases ; so the press, the
mouthpiecs of public sentiment, can
alone apply the corrective. This 1t q
do by exposing the schemes Of the mon
engaged in such nefarious transactions,
and warning the public against being
inyeigled into the traps laid to dsspoh
them Of their property. In the instance
under consideration, the motive is ap'
parent. II a large proportion of the
mines can DO suddenly closed and the
working Of the mills suspended for an
inde6nits term, the value Of claims
would necessarily be materially i'm.
paired. But we are happy TO know that
Jul best m%ine-holders refuse 10 become
parties to this shameful bearing y
operation, and that it will probably
6zzle out. Let US hope that it will so
eliminate, and that our districtma con.
tinuo to build itself up on its Legitimate
merits. The day of our prosperity can
not be remote, if We be permitted to
escape the speculative Vaccinations OF
tho sharpers who play At dead open and
shut with the honest mems fortuues.-
