TEE HAGUE HIssIOS.-There seems to be An
impression prevalent that Mr.. Root, the newly
appointed Minister to the Hague, will not be
confirmed, and some persons allege that he is
not competent, either by reason or inadequate
education or want Of experience in public
affairs, for the place. 1t is regarded as settled
however, that Mr.. Ewing, the present incum-
bent, is to be recalled.

WHILE Governor Bowie, of Mary
land, in his annual message, insists
that the United States ought of right to
pay the people of Maryland for the
slaves that were liberated by the
Emancipation Proclamation, the Su-
preme Court Of Alabama decides that
there has been no property in slaves
since 1868, and that no one Is indebted
TO the Shareholders for their former
ownership of human beings. The
abolition of slavery was a result Of the
war; the war was inaugurated by the
firing on Fort Sumter; therefore Gov
ernor Bowie must present his bills for
manumitted slaves to Beauregard 4
Co. The surviving members Of that
once formidable firm will doubtless
laugh the claims to scorn. In which
performance they will be joined by a
majority of the Intelligent people
throughout the country. Governor
Bowie is far behind the age he should
read up the decisions of the Supreme
Court of Alabama.

His father was n practicing physician
In the State of Missouri, and his name

when n boy about 10 years Of age, and
his history since that time up to last
summer Is unknown. When he was
brought into the courtroom one of the
members of the Grand Jury recognized
him. and his name proved to be George
X. Jones. His relatives r among
some Of the most respectable families
of Yolo and Solano counties. He is
the black sheep of the flock, and is
represented as a very dangerous char
acter. Since he has been recognized
he has exhibited the finest ploce OF
genuine sscheek' that cal he found In
the annals of "checkdom." He sent
for his father-in-law excuse the con-
nection), Hitler, and admitted that his
name was Jones, aud requested the
privilege OF marrying his daughter
again under his true name. AS q mat
ter of course, the request was politely
declined, and DIR. May passes away
like a myth, and George r. Jones
stands indicted by the Grand Jury for
otfenses to which he must answer.

No mob, sanctioned by law or other

fruits Of our toll. We would rather
sec this land converted into a wilder

CONGRESS- having successfully with

| the fierce onsets of Andrew Johnson,
Is threatened with a new and awful
danger. Mr.. Hitchman, Of the New
York Legislature, is the doughty knight
who defies Congress to the bitter end.
In his speech advocating the repeal OF
the assent of the State Of New York
to the Fifteenth Amendment, Mr..
Hitchman thundered:-
"Let New York, when the roll Of States
10 called, announce that she does not consen,
to the Amendment; and let Congress coun,
her as consenting If it dare"
This ends the matter. Mr.. Vice
President Colfax and Mr.. Speaker
Blaine may rs well take warning in
time. What the consequences will be
If they dare to count New York, Mr.
Hickman humanely keeps hidden
from the American public. They will
be awful and yet, we say it with all
due respect to the puissant Hitch,
man, the majority in Congress will
have the temerity to dare. And then
will the country experience conse,
quences so awful that-but VIC prefer
to wait until New York is counted, and
then Hitclman will have sunk into
oblivion.

TnE CuBAS REvoLUT1oN.-The re-
port of Consul General Plumb to the
State Department has recently been
filed in Washington, and the conclu-
sions, it is announced, are highly un-
favorable to the insurgents. That
greater dependence may be placed on
this report, 1t Is asserted that when
Mr.. Plumb was sent to Havana his
sympathy with the Cubans was so
strong as to induce the Spanish Minis
ter, Senior Roberts to express formally
his regret at the appointment. How
ever this may be, Mr.. Plumb says that
politically the rebellion in Cuba Is at
an end. He says that there are a few
thousand insurgents still In open and
active hostility to Spain, but they are
destitute entirely Of political organ,
ization, and have almost no discipline
in a military point of view. The
rebels are scattered In various dis
tricts, and confine themselves to the
prosecution of u guerrilla warfare, moi
being strong enough to take the field
and not holding any position Of the
slightest ~strategetic or political i'm,
portance. This method of warfare, OIL
account of the mountains In the inte
rior, it is stated, can be carried OIL foI
years, and will be annoying to tin
Spanish authorities, but cannot plac'
the Insurgents in a position to b.
recognized by other nations.

DISTRESSING CAsE.-A young wo-
man, about sixteen years of age, pre-
possessing In appearance, but evidently
| rendered half desperate by distress OF
| mind and body, called ut the station
house about ten o'clock yesterday
morning, and asked assistance to ell
able her to get to the town OF Hay
ward, Alameda County. Her tale was
a pitiful one. Married ut fifteen years
| of age to n young mar In San Fran
cisco, she lived happily for u few weeks,
| but soon their domestic sky became
| clouded, and before q year was over
her husband deserted her, and, without
money and almost destitute of friends,
she was left virtually homeless. though
within q few weeks of confinement.
In this emergency, she decided to come
to this city. expecting to find here her
| sister, whose husband Is an employee Of
the Central Pacific Railroad Company,
and accordingly took passage by the
Western Pacific freight train, arriving
about ten o'clock Saturday night. APP
| plying ut the railroad Office to learn
| where her brother-in-law resided, she
found, to her dismay, that he had re-
moved with his family to Carlin. In
this strait, the unfortunate girl, not
being able to pay for lodgings at \
hotel, commenced walking up and
down the streets, to keep warm and
pass away the weary hours until MORN
inc. but finally, to escape observation
and gain shelter, hid herself behind a
| pile Of notato sacks on Front street,
and there remained till daylight, when,
shivcring with cold and suffering with
pain and hunger, she crcpt forth and
again commenced wandering about.
After two or three hours thus spent,
her distress compelled her to ask u cit
izen for help, and the person she adj
dressed referred her to the officers at
the station house, to whom she pro-
ceeded to apply. Officer Dunlevy,
who was Oh watch ut the time, pro-
cured her u hearty breakfast and APP
piled to Assistant superintendent
Corning for n pass for her over the
Western Pacific Railroad to Haywards,
where she expects to find q friend and
a temporary home. The desired doc
ument was procured. Dunlevy further
showed his kindness by taking up y
subscription for her benefit, and sue
ceeded in getting quite Il neat little
sum-. She leaves by the train this
morning for Haywards. Failing to
find her friends there, she will apply
for admission to the Lying-in Hospital
at San Francisco.-Sac. Union Of yes

skeletons ETA Gisns.ie Race Found scar
The following story Is told by the
Dubuque (Iowa) Times Of the 9th inst:
The evidence appears to be pretty
well settled that this whole Western
country was once inhabited by a race
of beings of gigantic stature, who were
not only hardworking, industrious fell
lows, but we'll up in many Of the fine
arts. What their laws, institutions
and code of morals consisted Of we
shall probably never know, rs printing
presses and interviewing reporters
were scarce in those days, but from
the numerous mounds scattered over
the country, which the learned Swans
tell us were the work Of their hands, 1t
Is quite easy to assume that they were
heavy on the dig and took much de-
light in welding the spade and shovel.
| They would be useful fellows to have
in these days of railroads and canals,
and 1t is to be regretted that the race
died out before the present system Of
internal Improvements commenced.
From time to time the skeletons OF
an unknown race have been discovered
In the different mounds mentioned, up
and down the Mississippi River, the
last discovery of the kind being made
near Potosi, Wisconsin, u little over a
week ago. A young man by the name
of Patterson was engaged with q mum
Der of men in digging out for the
foundation of a saw mill, near the
bank Of the river. In digging out this;
it became necessary to remove one Of
these ancient mounds or tumuli. The
workmen had descended to the depti
of about seven feet, when they UNI
earthed two human skeletons, the
bones of which were almost entire ant
in a good state Of preservation. upon
taking them out, an accurate measure
ment was made of the skeletons, wllel
one of them was found to be seven ant
a half feet, and the other eight feet IL
length. =,
The Jaws of each were filled will
double rows of teeth, while the chees
bones were very high and prominent
Under the bones u large collection o
arrow heads and strange toys wer'
found, which had evidently been burlet
with them.
Strange to state, the workmen, In
stead Of preserving these bones, cartet
them offintO the road, and it Is fearet
the great majority are now wasted. l
is highly probable that other skeleton
exist i'm that vicinity. a further an'
more persistent search for fresh discor
cries is to be made.
