A LEAF OF PRIVATE PorIrICAL UtsToEY-
The new York Sun says, i'll debate on judges
salaries i'll th" Senate, few days since, Sena-
tor Carpenter made the following statement:
When General Grant, Administration came
In, h" offered the office of Secretary Of State
Ia u statesman from the West, Of lCwa, a man
of whom all uf us would have been proud To
see in that place. How did lac look at il? To
come Ia Washington and live as n Secretary
uf state should live would cost him SlJ. 900 a
year, AMI his salary was ~ 900; 81 600 out Of
pocket each wear. II he were to stay with his
family in Iowa he could support them on So
OrD and make Slj,OOO. There was Sl7, 900
difference III his bank account. He could not
afford To pay that amount to he Secretary of
State. Then General Grant goes right tn the
Eastern States and offers the Office To n man
to whom the Sl1 900 made no earthly differ
once; III that case your $4,000 paid To the
present Secretary Of State is thrown away
because he would have taken the office just as
quick without the salary AZ with it,
The statesman of Iowa mentioned by Mr.
Carpenter is the Hon. James +. Wilson, but
We think for want of complete information
the Senator does not tell the story with per
feet accuracy
R"furr General Grant was sworn i'm n Pres
id"ut he offered Mr.. Wilson the Office of Sec.
r"tary of state, and hc agreed 10 accept it.
Aft"rward Mr.. Wnshhurn of Illinois hcsonght
General Grant to appoint him To- that uifc.
IA compliment, which would enable him To-
x" with more prestige rs Minister To- the Court
"f Napoleon tn" Ill, which plur" hc had
ngrcrd tn accept. General Grant felt under
great obligations to Mr.. Wnshburnc aud asked
Mr.. Wilson II Ia" wuulh agree. to the c0mpli-
m"ntnry appointment uf that statesman ns
Secretary Of State it being understood that
he should not take the office, but only enjoy the
honor oi being nominated To 1t and confirmed
10y the Senate. Mr.. Wilson said that Mr.
Wahburne was the most malignant, ungcncr-
GUS, and unfair enemy hc had ever had; but
thRt If General Grant desired very much to
pay him such a compliment he would not
stand in tn" way, and would still he willing
to he Secretary 0f State hftcrward. The nom.
ination Of Mr.. Wushburnc was accordingly
sent to the Senate. He was confirmed and to
the surprise Of every body but himself, he
had himself sworn in rs Secretary on that
very day, and nt once began to exercise the
authority Of the Office. More than this. he
held on to II for considerable period, and
did not leave II until he was pcrcmptorily re-
quircd to do SO 10y tn" President. But mean
while Mr.. Wilson Withdrew his acceptance of
the place, saying that he would not take an
office which Mr.. Wnshburnc had warmed
Nor could any persuasion prevail to make
him reconsider his determination.
In one respect however, Mr.. Carpenter :
statement IL entirely correct. This is where
lac says that the $1,000 u year paid to the
present Secretary Of State is thrown away.
We DO not believe there is u sane citizen of
the United States who will dispute that prop
ositiOn.

A Terrible Trapedy.

On last Saturday, says the Idaho World Of
June 3Uth, Placerville was the scene of one of
the most terrible tragedies that we have ever
been called upon To chronicle, and which re-
suited III the instant death Of one young man
and the death of another few hours after
ward. 1t appears that IA feud existed between
y. A. Abbott, more famlinrly known ns Asa
Abbott, who lives on "a ranch in Upper Pay
ette Valley, and n young man named David
IL. Hannor, VIII" for some time past has been
engaged III mining on Granite creek or IN that
vicinity. The parties had not met for about
two months before, and Hs are informed,
the bitter feeling between them became more
Intensified III consequence OF some rough Ian
guaGe made use of by J. a. Abbott in the
Democratic County Convention, which met at
CcnteryIlle on the 23d of last April, when
Hannors name was placed before the conven-
ton for the nomination of School Superin-
tcndcnt. Asa Abbott and his brother, Wm.
NJ. Abbott, and one - Curlen, who had
been III the employ of the Abbotts at their
ranch, came to Placervlle which is about II
miles distant from the ranch, and they met
young Hannor in the plaza, near the store of
VIM. Lynch. Some words were exchanged
between Asa Abbott and HannOr the former
standing 10y his mule, while VIM. Abbott was
standing near HannOr talking TO him also,
Curlcn being of somewhat to one side during
the conversation Hannor stepped forward
and pistols were drawn. HannOr was shot in
the back OF the head, the ball penetrating his
3rain, and another shot fired 10y Asa Abbott
struck him i'll the center of the forehead.
Hannor managed 10 fire twice at Asa Abbott
and the third time his pistol went off into the
ground as he fell. Asa Abbott fired some
three or four shots altogether, and one shot,
which was intended for Hannor. took effect in
the body of VIM. Abbott, who was standing in
the rear of Hannor, striking him about the
center of the abdomen. Hannor died almost
and VIM Abbott fingered until
about IL O'Clock, T.. NJ, when he also expired.
Curlon, though he had his pistol out, we are
Informed did not fire, some one interfering to
prevent him. These are about the main facts
in regard to- this terrible affair ns we have re-
ccived them from persons who were present.

a committee was appointed who selected the

DoEs TIIE WANT OF STAMP NITfAIE Con-
TEACr;-A very interesting case Was tried in
the Supreme Court III New York a few days ago
III which one of the principal questions raised
was as I" the effect of emitting To put on an
int"rnrl revenue stamp on n written contract.
The contract was for 2nO, 900 pounds of brass,
and consisted of n letter making the offer
for II. and II telegram accepting the offer.
There WIS no stamp on either.
VIM. VI. Evnrts, who appeared for the de-
fcnse, objected to the introduction of the let
ter and telegram, constituting the contract
on the ground that, being unstampcd, the con-
tract under the internal revenue law was void
EX.JudgC Fullerton, counsel for the plaintiff
produced authorities to establish that omis-
sion to put stamps on u contract wOuld not
render IL void, unless II was made with the in
tcntiOn to dcfraud the Government. He then
placed the agent Of the plaintiff, who sent the
telegram, on the stand, and he swore that
there was no intention TO defraud the Govern
mcnt in Omtting the stamp.
Mr.. Fullerton next placed n stamp upon the
letter, and another on the telegram. and can
celcd them; and Judge BRADY, before whom
the trial took place, then admitted them ms
evidence. The jury returned n verdict for
the plaintiff for the full amount claimed.

RED CLoup on GE,Sr.-In Chicago, n
mountain man asked Red Cloud, what he
thought Of the Great White Father
Red Cloud-NOt much. lie no very great
scratch. lie small man, and me whip him
any day. lie know no much. He like whisky
and tobacco, and me gucss squaw.
Mountaineering do you not think Grant
will do right hy your people?
Red Cloud-lI Hump. lie no good. Hc
promise everything and io moih;aB. ~ =
lcvc him one word
IL would seem that races nll look alike upon
Grant They do not consider him great or
truthful. They all know his weak points and
point Mt them. Red Cloud does not fcar this
warrior, and is Of opinion that he can whip
the Great White Father" IL is not best to
oyhihit nur President to othcr nations il we
would have him or ourselves respected by
them. The less known q! Grant the better
for his Government and himself AS Cough
would say, "to know all the circumstances
about him, is 10 hcgct n contempt for him. -
Before seeing Grant, Red Cloud had very
high opinion of him, but the sight has re-
moved all that idea of greatness.

TUAT RNILHoND.-Our readers nrc aware
that Congressman Fitch introduced bill in
Congress, the ostcmSiblo purpose of which
was tn enable Il certain company, called "Thc

tion Company" to build u rilrond from Elko
10 the Colorado. The hill nskcd in favor Of
the above named company (Which IL really
nothing hut the Bank of California; II grant
"f twenty sections per mile. Ia include all
timber and mineral lands. This was long
way ahead Of NIL the franchises heretofore
granted hy Congress. This company was au-
thorilcd hy the last Legislature Of this State,
0n filing certificate Of survey with the
hoard of Commissioners Of the counties Of
Elko. White Pine Nyc and Lincoln, through
which tho road wns to pass, to request tho
Commissioners of the above named counties
that they submit to the people Of their res.
poctiye counties u proposition for aiding said
railroad by the bonds Of said county or
counties TO given amount therein named,
and II was the duty of the Commissioners Of
said counties to order the election on being so
requested. Tho amount Of bonds Ia bc issued
by the counties is limited as follows: White
Pine, 500 Nyc, Sl5O,OO0; Lincoln,
5000 900: Elko, $50, ,00O-mnking an nggrc-
gate of SS0O, 900 to 10 used by the counties Ia
bo be"cihcd by tho rond. The people Of White
Pine, though naturally nnYiOus to have n
railroad. could not stand the franchise grant.
ing mineral lands tO the company. and in.
structcd MIR. Fitch tO strike ont Of his hill MI
grants of mineral lands nud to add section
making 1t obligatory on tho company to com
picto the roRd 10 Hamilton IN eighteen month,
from the passage of the bill. To this Mr.
fitch answers that he has withdrawn his bill
