FROM PIOCHE.

The Ely Record of the 10Th gives a
list of the individual losses incurred
by the fire at Phoebe, which foots up
about S500,09o. A new survey of the
town has been ordered by the County
Commissioners, and the streets here
after will be four feet wider. The
Record says:
Effects of the explosion are to be
seen Gil every house in the city that
was not burned. In many instances
doors were torn from their hinges by
the force of the conclusion, and every
where windows were shattered. In
MANY cases men were blGwn Off their
feet when they were supposed to be at
a safe distance. Large rocks were
thrown as far as the BOwery mine, IA
miles from town, by the explosion.
CAPIToL SALooN.-This populsr re-
sort. presided over by Mike MeClus-
key, was QUE of the finest in the State,
and the stock, fixtures, ETC., were
entirely destroyed i'll the fire. Mac.
estimates his loss at Sll 900, and we
question whether that amount will
cover it.
S. b. Wvnan, Jacobs & Sultan, and
John Roeder, were The only merchants
saving provisions in fire proof cellars,
and which come in very OPPORTUNITY
now.

A HARD WINTER.

The papers published in agricul-
tural districts are consoling them
selves with the anticipation of a
rainy season this Winter which will
be a credit to its title. This expec-
tation is largely founded upon the
theory that a rainy season in Mexico
is always followed by a similar sea-
son in California, and that a protrac-
ted drought in the South is invari-
ably succeeded by a dry Winter in
the North. This Fall we have advices
from Mexico that the rains which
have fallen there during the month
of August have been unusually
abundant. The San joaquin Re-
publican remarks that "men who
have paid considerable attention to
this theory are confident of its cor
rectness, and several of our largest
farmers are guided by it in putting
in their crops. They say their OBJ
%servation has proven that when the
rain fall in Mexico (which is always
some two months in advance of our
rains) is light, a drought is almost
certain here. One farmer in Santa
Clara valley will not seed his ground
unless his Mexican rain advices are
satisfactory. One strong evidence
of the correctness of the theory is,
that a drought has prevailed in
Mexico during the past two years,
in consequence of which a great
want OF food is felt in many of the
interior sections of that country.
We all know that a drought has pre-
vailed here. There has been no
rain either in Mexico or California
for two years. In Mexico the
drought has now ceased, and an
abundance of rain is falling. We
may expect early rains and a wet
Winter in California"
As the Winters of Nevada usually
are similar to those of California, If
this theory be correct, we may ex-
pect a hard Winter here-winds,
snow and sleet taking the place OF
the milder rains near er the coast.
Aside from this theory there seems
to be a general belief that such will
be the character of the coming Winter.

THE CUSTOM HOUSE VS.. TAMMANY


An Eastern dispatch says:
"The xpose in yesterdays Tribune
of the frauds alleged to have been per-
petrated by Collector Murphy has
created a great sensation, and the mat
ter was the subject of talk all over the
city last evening"
The Tribune is waging a desperate
var on the Federal officers of New
York City, and is ''going for them
after the style of the Times for the
city officers. Murphy, Grants favor
tie Collector of Customs, is only n of
these officers whose transactions are
likely to be ripped up and brought to
light through the columns Of the
Tribune. The Republican party is
divided and disorganized, two wings
contending for the control. The Fed
eral officials are showing Greeley no
mercy, and from present appearances
are likely to refuse seats in the State
Convention to the delegates recently
elected from the city favorable to
Greeley's wing. The late develop
ments of defalcations in the Postoffice
of New York, together with those of
the Custom House, may create a sus-
picion in the public mind that all the
rascalities of that city are not confined
to the Democratic party. The fact is
that one is as deep in the mire as the
other is in the mud.

FORE submit to little lecturlng from US, If they
would be fully alive to their duties and privi-

speak unto wise men; but our words
must be needed. Christianity has for
too many centuries been thinking only Of
ITSELF 1t has thought but little of the
outside world Rivalry, jealousy, self-aggran-

it life and purpose. The command Of the
Master has bsen forgotten or disregarded. Let
the pulpit and the platform now resound with
the words Of the first disciples. Fired with
the spirit of the Apostle Paul or with that Of
Peter the Hermit let them call on the peoples
to go forth conqueriIg in the name of the
Man of Nazareth. It Is not necessary that
blood should be shed. It Is only necessary that
the nations should unite aud that the Chris

May meetings do not bring forth some such
fruit as that which we have said Is needed
we shall have to confess to great disappoint-
ment We have had pickering and conten-

kingdoms of this world must become the
kingdom of our Lord. If there is further
delay the blame must BE- laid at the door Of

SHIPwREoKs IN TIE STRAITS OF MAGEL-
LAN.-Our special correspondent, writing
from Punta Arenas, the Chilean settlement on
the shores Of Patagonia and in the Straits Of
Magellan, gives very interesting information
regarding shipwrecks that have recently oc-
Cured in that vicinity and of the hardships
and sufferings endured by those who had
been compelled to take TO the boats for
safety. To be shipwrecked on the coast of
Terra del Fuego and subjected to the mercilcss
treatment Of the miserable race OF savages
who dwell upon Its inhospitable shores is a
most unenviable fate. We have no doubt that
many vessel Of which no tidings have ever
been heard has fallen prey to those insig-
niacant looking bnt dangerous and treacher-
Gus tribes. 1t would be we'll for vessel of
our South Atlantic or Pacific squadrons to
pay scmi-annual visit to that unfrequented
island in order TO discover, ifpossible, If there
are any shipwrecked people there looking for
and waiting for rescue.

The halo Of New Jerseys glory has left bar
and Amboy road, the pride Of the State and
the ruler Of Legislatures has been ceded to
Pennsylvania and Tom Scott, like Commodore
Stockton Of old, carries the little borough In
his breechcs pocket OF the tour great rail-
road monopolists east of tho Rocky Noun
tains, all Of whom are bending their energies
altogether to the possession Of the great Pacific
route-Vanderbilt, Scott, Garrett aud Fisk
Scott seems to be far ahead. The lease Of the
Camden and Am0oy gives him yet another
lift, and, with his Legislative and Senatorial
influence brought into reqaisition, we expect
to see this rising Penusyivanian struttins
around ere long not only with Pacific Rail-
road in his breeches pocket, but even
with Vanderbilt and his Central strapped
over his shoulders. Garrett and his
Baltimore and Ohio snugly ensconced
in his poYtmanteau, and Fisk and Erie
slowed away in bis vest pocket. No limit
can be placed TO the possiol, readings
of Tom SCOTS chances or his ambition. His
name and powers are already SO fully appre-
ciated and respected that railroads surrender
at discretion as soon as they see him around,
and it is question whether he is or is not the
Identical Captain Scott Of famous Arkansas
memory, to whom all the 'coons surrendered
ON sight.
There is one consolation left us, notwith-
standing this appalling cession OF Jersey to
Pennsylvania. The rigor of Jersey justice
still remains She can yet protect the helpless
of New York city, and all the Tom Scots in
the world cannot prevent her. He may seize
and possess the Legislature, as well as the
railroads, Of the tight litsle State, but he can
never own one of her Judges nor lower her
standard Of justice, and therefore New York
still proudly relies upon her dismaniled but
devoted friend.

TIE PLAGUE IN BuKSos AyREs.--we pub
lish to-day an interesting account by our
special correspondent Of the terrible ravages
Of the yellow fever in Buenos Ayres city
Of two hundred thousand inhabitants has been
almost depopulated. Twelve thousand have
already fallen victims Of the fell destroyer.
All that could leave have left, and Of the
twenty-five thousand remaining eight thou

when the mail left. The mortality reached in
one day the awful number Of seven hundred
and forty mine. II has decreased since that
time by reason Of the population having fled
10 the country. Great distress and suffering
exist and there is no knowing what the end
will be. Is not this oase that calls for

THE DEPARTING ENGLISH COMMISSIONERS. -
The British members Of the Joint High Com
mission are about to depart. Having COM
pleted their labors they do not wish to tarry
any longer than they can help. Hence they
called on the President yesterday and badc
him farewell. Earl de Grey and Sir Stat
ford Northcote are TO sail on Wednesday.
Professor Bernard takes trip to Niagara
preparatory to bis departure from Quebec,
while Sir John A. Macdonald has already left
for home. General Schenck will also leave
for England with Earl de 0rey's party. Now
that our difficulties with Great Britain
are in fair way of settlement the
English mission has lost much Of the
significance that was attached to 1t
at the time when General Schenck was APP
pointed. Whatever may be the final fate Of
the pending treaty we cannot but express our
sympathy for the departing English Com
missoncrs, for they have done their best to
smooth over the difficulties that stood in their
way and to promote friendly feelings between
the two Kindred nations.

Tho Dfa mOnd Snug sling Case.

Thu examination in this case reached ter
lnination yesterday, 30 far as the proceedings
before the Commissioner are concerned. The
pronounced by the Commissioner as to whether
he had smusgled the diamonds or not, elected,
through his counsel, to take his trial before a
jury, and Esmond, who claims to be the in
former upon whose testimony Radcliffe, in
whose possession the diamonds were found,
of the Grand Jury on charge of having as
sisted In the sale of the smuggled articles.
The defendant, Esmond, is quite surprised at
the action of the government toward him,
and claims that Whitley, Chief OF the Secret
Service Department, promised him the protcc-
ton of the government if he would give infor-
nation against Radcliffe. This pledge or
promise, however, the District Attorney does
not recognize, and asserts that Whitley had no
power 10 maks 1t. The evidence given Ia the
course Of this remarkable examination brings
out prominently the fact that this Whitley has
been selling to his subordinates diamonds
charged to have been smuggled and which had
been pawned by Radcliffe with broker in
Broadway. What shall be said Of govern
ment official, holding most responsible and
important position In the revenue department,
engaging III business intended to defraud the

guilt or innocence Of the defendants in this
case, it is apparent, from the developments
made during the progress Of this diamond

quires thorough wedding out Of all the pres
ent officials, from Whitley and Newcomb down
to the lowest detective or decoy duck on the
