A Coon Ok SToRY.-The Elko
Independent, of April 22d, is res
ponsible for the following:
Uncle Billy Roger tells story of
a bell-ox, in Ruby Valley that de-
serves place along side of the rat
story now going the rounds of the
press. The OK was not lazy while
in the yoke, but he had a way of
avoiding being placed within the
bow that showed more cunning that
is usually accorded to the bovine
family. He would always seem to
seek the densest thicket to lie down,
and would throw his head flat on the
ground. thereby keeping his bell on
his neck from tickling, and would
thus oft II prevent his whereabouts
from being discovered by any per-
sons in search OF him. Uncle Billy
AYERS that on one occasion this OK
was found, after 4 two days hard
search, in an almost impanetrable
thicket. living quietly on his side,
and one Of his associate oxen was
carrying grass to him to feed upon;
and, as it was tiy-time, and there was
gleat danger if he brought his mar
rative" into play Of causing the bell
TO rattle. another felIow-ox had sta
toned himself in such a position
that by the use of his tail the flies
were kept from troubling him as he
reclined at leisure. When dis
he raised himself up with a
IiSnilieI air, and giving the bell a
good shaking, looked as nimble as Il
quarter horse about to start on a
home stretch.

BEECHER.

Henry Ward Beecher, if he has not
much religion, has at least the two
great qualities of courage and independ-
ence. In his discourses he adapts him
self to events as they transpire. He at
tacks wrong, or what he supposes to be
wrong, wherever it is developed, and
fights it like a true knight. There is no
mincing of words, but strong express
sions as full of pith as his nature is OF
energy. BE comes up TO issues OF the
day. BE attacks sin, not theoretically,
but practically. He does Tot shut his
eyes to the great world that rolls about
him and draw from his memory, from
books and from obsolete sermons the in
SEPARATION Of his discourses. He talks OF
finance, diplomacy and political reform.
The sins of the past world are either for
given or they have fixed its fate. The
business of men is not with the dead,
but with the living. While many cler-
gymen are debating the abstract points
OF theology and disputing as to the fate
OF the heather after death, Beecher is
pounding away at the fortresses Of liv-
ing sin. We do not love the man. he
has never been friendly to the South.
We do not indorse many of his opinions,
but we 10 admire his boldness and com
mend his indepe ndence.

THE LAND GRADERS.

The inventive genius of the land grab
bers and money stealers is boundless.
Nothing is secure from their rapa-
cious hands, as nothing is sacred
in their sneaking eyes. Now, who
would have thought Of upsetting the land
titles Of a whole State, but one whose
profession is that of a thief or robber
To illustrate 1t is stated that the car
pst-bsggers are trying to disturb the IL
uss to real estate in New Orleans in or
der to grab come Of the most valuable
property there. A large portion Of the
real estate in Louisiana is held under
grants and titles from the former French
aud Spanish Governments. These ii
tles, under old surveys have been held
rs good without confirmation by the
United States; but under some recent
act of Congress, the provisions Of which
are not generally known in Louisiana, il
Is claimed that in all cases where the Ii
tls has not been confirmed, or where the
surveys cen not been found in the Land
O6ce the property is publie land
which must be turned over to the United
States, satject to entry under the pro
visions Of he homestead law.

There will be meeting of the policy
holders in the suspended insurance com
panies tonight to hear the report OF the
Committee of Ten.
The Republic and Merchants lnsur-
ance Companies of this city have been
nut into bankruptcy. The ground on
which action is based is, that insurance
funds are in the nature of trust, and
cannot be divided by the Wholesale
among the stockholders only to be out OF
money when the fires come and losses
ensue. In the case Of the Republic this
will not retard the collection of unpaid
stock. In the Merchants the object is
evidently to get the aid of receiver,
who is at the same time president OF some
company, and whose interests are OPP
posed to those of the policy holders.
The remains of the man found in the
ruins of the Tribune building yesterday
prove to be those of Joseph Stobbs, who
had been reporter on the Republican

was at different times connected with
Eastern journals, and was private sec
rotary to the Superintendent of the
Grand Trunk railroad, and to the Super
intendent of the Hannibal and St. Louis
railroad. His relatives have been mott
fed of his sad fate, and the body will be

THE MAYoRALTY.

The parties are in a transition state.
The good elements of all parties will
probably flow together and make com
bined effort to upset the corruptionists.
The people are tired of parties, tired Of
the instruments they employ to get
Office. Conventions may resolve, rings
may pirate as they please, but the peo-
pie with their eyes half open can see
the drift of things. We are soon to
have a Mayoraliy election. Even at this
early stage it is exciting some discus
sion, perhaps some passion. We allagree
concerning one point: We want a ca
pable and good officer, one who possesses
financial capacity, and WHO'S not afraid
to do his duty. Have we such a man
That is the question. If we have, it
will be no difficult task to find him. One
thing may be regarded as certain: The
people will not elect man who is Nm
fitted for the duties Of the position OF
Mayor. They have no interest in the
election of any particular individual.
They want a capable oficer-not the
favorite of party or ring. The office
belongs to them, and they will, in the
OomiLg contest, know how to bestow it.

There is an indication that the admin

HOW HE'LL DO 1T.

The Washington organ of Grant says
that it will require not less than ten
thousand regular troops, judiciously
distributed through the Southern States,
to insure free aud fair election in those
States in 1872; and that it may be neces'
sary for Congress to increase the army.
This, an exchange remarks, is but one
of numerous indications that Grant in
tends to force his reelection by placing
the whole South under bayonet rule,
should he receive the Republican nom
ination. Such q method of insuring a
free and fair election certainly deserves
the credit of originality. 1t is only
equalled by the ingenuity of the Ethio
plan present-taker who relates his expe'
rience in one Of the negro minstrel halls
"Pompey, whar you get dat watchY
"a man CUB it to me" Cub it to you
for nufin?" "Yes--but l had to knocl
him down free or fou times before heC
do it" If Grant runs for President IL
1872 he is determined to have free AM
fair election, even Il it should be neces
sary to bayonet every man in the South
ern States who opposes him. Wha
would be deemed free and fair electio
BY mar who has used United State
troops and Calling guns to control tn
