DIRECTORY OF FEDERAL 0rFIeERs.-For
the information of our readers, who have
a generally very indefinite idea of the
Federal officers located and having Official
business in White Pine. we have taken
the pains to secure the following list:
P~ostofiees - Hamilton-H. Carpenter;
Mort. Glover, Deputy. Treasurer. +.
Meyers, Postmaster. Shermantown-J.
e. Collier, Postmaster. Internal Rev.
enue- Assessor of the Pacific Coast. in
Guiding Utah-General l.. NJ. Foulke.
Headquarters, San Francisco. Gen.
Foulke is now here on a visit of inspec-
ton, and will proceed to Utah in n few
days. Assistant Assessor-o. II.
Grey. Deputy Oollector-Albert Me-
kins. Deputy Marshal and L. s. Cen
sus Marshal-John Moran. U. S. Com
missioner--W. w. Hobart. All the
above officers have their headquarters In
Hamilton.
THE Doc LAw.-We venture the opin-
ion that City Attorney Darrow's dog or
dinance will be a sumner on canine fan
ciers. We are sorry for those who have
a wealth of 'purps' on hand-espeeially
female purps. The latter will be SWIM
mingly taxed; and we leave the question
open whether it is just to punish the dog
in exemplary damages for the fault of
nature herself. II will have one effect,
however, whether bad or good. Mascn-
line dogs will greatly appreciate in value.
We insist on the tin-kettle penalty being
placed at a high figure. Tinware is
costly in our market, and there are men
here who are indifferent as 10 whose ket-
tie they fasten to another dogs tail.
In anticipation, many street hounds have
suddenly lost their masters.
EDrToR NEWS: Your faeetious satire
on Supreme Judge johnson is unfortu-
nate and untimely. | understand there
are letters here from Carson, stating the
White Pine Mining Law opinion Is
nearly ready, and will be filed in q few
days. LEX.
We shall accept the above explanation
when we see the opinion not be.
fore. There has been no lack of letters
to the same effect any time these six
months past. II is not the first time the
business of the Supreme Court has suf-
fered through the proerastination and
neglect OF Judge johnson; and we ques-
ton whether the decision will command
the respect of the bar when it ultimately
does reach rs.
SOME CONSOLATION, ANyHow.--A we'll
known ~quidnunc, who always did belong
to the dend- broke ranks, was loudly
complaining yesterday of the financial
~stringency here, when a bystander dis
concerted him by declaring that our So
ciety carried out the democratic-republi-
ran idea better than any community he
ever was in. We are at least, he said,
without any 'bioated moneyed aris-
tocraoy, and stand on a perfect financial
equality. This man has evidently not
had access to the bank account of the
subscriber.
RETuRsED.-A large number OF White
Piners returned from Eureka yesterday,
among whom was Frank Wheeler, red.
