DISTINGUISHED ARRIvALs.-The Ga
lena correspondent Of the Humboldt
Register, writing under date of Octo-
Der 26th, announces the following SEN
satlon In that town:
Senator Nyc, J. D. Minor, VIM. n.
Leet and Hon. John G. James, gave US
q call last week, and made things kind
OF lively during the two days they re-
mained with US. For proficiency In
the game Of horse-billiards, sell-out,
etc., we commend them to the consid-
Grafton Of the people Of outside camps,
and will right here state that US galutes
of Galena stood no show whatever
with them-they got away with US,
that's all. What they came here for,
or which direction they took on quit
ting us, remains q mystery to me; l
think, however, some Of them were
here to visit their numerous friends
constituents. and some to ascertain
whether the people Of Galena are enti-
tied to the new county Of Argenta.
Everything considered, we were we'll
pleased to see them here, and promise
them o friendly greeting at any future
time they may give US a call.

A dispatch dated Sacramento, No
vember ID, says: . rrr-g
There was all attempt made this
morning to cause O run on the Odd
Fellows Bank of Savings, as people
generally supposed there would be,
from the events which trsnspired yes
terday. The officers Of the Bank We're
equal to the emergency. It's Directors
and stockholders embrace many Of the
wealthlest and most prominent men In
this city. They were we'll represented
to-day. Probably less than $4,000
was drawn from the bank at llR A. NJ,
waen demands were small and made
far apart. BY one o'clock everybody
went away. An equal amount to that
withdrawn was deposited in many
cases by new customers-one by Sheriff
Woods, amounting to SIC, 900. Many
who were afraid are now ashamed for
being 80 rash. Every depositor was
paid his or her full deposit, with inter.
est to date ; no deduction was made
no forfeit demanded or taken.

An IMPoRrAST SUrT.-rhe case Of
the State Of Nevada vs.. the Eureka
Consolidated Mining Company, came
up In the District Court this morning.
Some evidence was heard, and further
action postponed until Saturday, the
18th inst, when the ase will be sub
mitted on briefs. The result of this
case Is a matter Of the greatest interest
to our Eureka neighbors, as the ques-
ton involved Is virtually whether or
not the bullion from ores worked by
the smelling process Is subject to tax
ation under the law enacted by the
last Legislature providing for taxing
the mines. Whatever may be the de-
cision here, the case will undoubtedly
60 to tho Supreme Court, where We
trust it will be promptly acted upon,
as the earlier o final decision Is rem
dered, the better it will be for all par
ties concerned. Messrs. n. d. Ander-
son and A. NJ. Hillhouse appear for

The Bank Failure.

At Q O'Clock yesterday morning tho
doo;s Of John Slime & Co.'S bank were
opened. According to announcement
tie day previous, the vaults were
opened by Sheriff White, there being
present the Son or Mr. Hastings, the
clerks Of the bank and attorneys Of the
bank, and the creditors. The injunc-
ton Issued from the United States Dis
trict Court to Sheriff White was read.
and alrthe attorneys present agreed
that the Sheriff could deliver all pri-
vate boxes and property in the vault
not held IS .collaterals. A number OF
brokers and others who had boxes for
s~afekeeping In tho vaults were present,
and the boxes delivered TO them, each
party signing q receipt therefor. Bro
kers called for stocks deposited. After
some consultation It was decided to do
liver the stock in1ll cases where writ
ten contracts existed; the stock should
be delivered to the depositor when
both parties to the contract had signed
the same, and delivering the contract
to the Sheriff. In this manner q large
amount of stock was turned over. One
broker, who had received about 81, 200
on stock as collateral, was anxious to
pay back the amount; 1t vas deemed
best for the estate to deliver the stock
on the payment Of the money. Parties
who had left notes for collection with
the bank we're eager to obtain them,
but few were returned. All the books
Of the bank we're found to be In the
vault, and between $40, 900 and $50, 900
In gold and silver coin. The doors
were closed again by the Sheriff about
noon. Mr.. Hastings has called meet
Ing Of creditors to be held on Monday
next, at IL A. M, at the Office Of his at
torney, j. B. Harmon. A statement
Of the affairs will then be presented.

PHospHoREscENcE in animals, and
especially In fish, 1t Is stated, Is due to
the slow oxidation of tho fat which Is
always found to be present when this
phenomenon Is observed. In the case
Of fish, the oxygen of the atmosphere
very readily penetrates the skin, and
acts upon the simultaneous fatty It's
sues. The phenomenon, 1t is stated,
Is promoted by placing the p~hosphor-

tirely arrested by placing 1t in car

BRIBING THE IOWA LEGISLA-
TURE,

From the Dubuque Qowa) Herald
One of the Committee Appointed to
Investigate the Charges of COrrup-
tIOn Agains: Grants Administration
How Senator Harlan Secured His
Election to the Senate.
At one time and another in his publicSa-
reer, serious charges affecting his personal
integrity, have been brought against Sena-
tor Harlan. And for our own part, We
never doubted that they were true, in error,
perhaps, in some of the details, but in the
main part true. We have no doubt what
ever that he is a corrupt and dishonest man,
who has used his official position for his
own private aggrandizement and profit.
The Cherokee land swindle and the aque-
duct developments at Washington sUtfi-
GENTLY attest this. The more recent charge
that he countenanced I'D shared in the
profits of fraud upon the government, by
placing some four hundred Cherokee Indi-
ans and squaws and pappOOses upon the
pension list, and that his agent Wright
drew his money and pocketed it, viii be
generally believed.
But we are now in possession Of the fact
of still more definite charge of dishonesty
which stands sadly in need of explanation.
When Harlan was a candidate for the Sen
ate six years ago, the Union Pacific railroad
company gave draft, or check, for $4,000,
to be used in helping to secure his success.
One statement makes the amount 5000,
while others put it at $4,000. The amount,
however, is not so important as the fact.
This draft, or check, was made payable TO
the order of Harlan himself, and is now on
file with other vouchers at the office of the
company in Boston, with his name upon its
back. We are told it has been seen by one
or more prominent men of this State.
We call upon Gen. Dodge, leading Off
Ger of the company, to tell the public what
he knows about this matter. We also call
upon Mr.. Allison, who is the intimate
friend of Oakes Ames, The party who az
President of the Union Pacific probably
drew the check Jr draft, to tell the public
what he knows about it. We also call upon
the Dubuque Times, the mouthpiece and
organ Of Mr.. Allison, to tell the public what
it knows about this matter.
/. Here is shameful and corrupt use of
money made by Senator Harlan to tamper
with the legislature of Iowa, and TO procure
his election. IL is a grave and important
matter, and if any person has POss essiOn Of
the facts in the case, it is his duty to give
them to the people of Iowa, who are so vi
tally interested in the question. If Mr..
Harlan has Improperly tampered with an
Iowa legislature, and the Union Pacific rail-
road has helped him to five thousand or ten
thousand dollars in order to do it, the peo-
pie of Iowa want to know it. If the facts
be not forthcoming from those whom We
have reason to suspect are in possession Of
them, the people may be enquiring why
they are Withheld.

MINERAL HOME.

From the Kingston East Tennesseean-
Mr.. Reeves, editor of the Greeneyille Sen
tinel, has found it necessary to defend him
self from the gross misrepresentation made
by Col. John Baxter, in his speech at Jones'
boro, some time ago, upon his favorite hob
by, the "Public Printing fraud. 1t appears
the ''public guardian" exhibited "House
Calendar" and called upon Mr.. Reeves to
state what such a job would cost. Mr.. Reeves,
not being a practical printer, at first de-
clined to give an opinion, but afterwards
thought an ordinary job printer could ''set
it up" in day and half, which would
make it worth three dollars, supposing the
work to be done in his Office. In this cal
culation, Mr.. Reeves states that he did not
pretend to estimate the cost of three hun
dred calendars" at the customary city
price of fifty or sixty cents per thousand
ems, to be paid for at legal rates, but only
at their job printing worth. His reply was
so distorted and misrepresented that Mr..
Reeves devotes the greater portion of a
column to the exposition of the injustice
done him, and concludes as follows:
We are surprised that Col Baxter should
continue this war on the Public Printers.
If he has the presumption to believe that he
can argue the public into the belief that
their Legislators are all, save one, or pos
sibly two, either fools or pejured scoundrels
then let him go ahead, and whilst we may
admire his courage We cannot endorse his
discretion. Pardon us, Colonel, for saying
that the bull which attempted to butt the
train from off the road, and was knocked
of by the train, displayed much courage,
but little Judgment.

LEGISLATURE.

From the West Tennessee Democrat.
Our Legislature adjourned last week
after tolerably laborious session. They
have done much that we heartily commend,
and but little that we may find fault with.
Taxation has been reduced 3355 per cent.
Many things made liable that have hitherto
been exempted-United States bonds, for
instance. The tax upon the merchant,
about which there has been so much said,
was wisely retained.
Our immediate representative in the
Senate, j. NJ. Coulter, though new mem-
Der, has made a great deal of character
throughout the State. Attentive to the
business that called him to Nashville, hon
est in his efforts to serve his constituency
and the State generally, he brought to his
aid a quick intelligence and ripe scholar
ship, that made him an honor to the body
in which be served, and a pride to those
whose representative he was.
Gus. Enloe, as he is familiaTly called
though probably the youngest member OF
the lower House, occupied a very high place
in the estimation of his fellow members,
and reflected credit upon the county that
sent him as its Representative. Having had
the experience of former session, he was
prol ably as efficient in the discharge of his
duty as any member of the body. He oc,
cupied important positions upon several
important committees, and upon every in
stance fully met the expectations of his
friends. Carroll should and does fee
proud of her young Representative.
j. l.. Mclaughlin, Representative from
! Weakly, made hard working and atten,
| tive member; no man looked after the in.
| tereSts of his constituency more closely thar
he, while his ripe business experience anC
| intelligence made him more than usual J
efficient.
Mr.. Mccall, from Union City, was proba
! bly, one Of the most efficient, wide-awake
members of the House. His fearlessnes:
in the expression Of his convictions of duty
were as much the subject Of compliment as
| the intelligence that guided him.
McCanpbell, from Henry, looked aftel
the interests Sf old Henry with vigilance
that was worthy of the esteem in which he
| is held, and worth more than the pitifu
$500 that he got. Talk about taxing the
Henryites one cent more than was GbSO
| [utelV necessary, and Nc. would flare up a:
| if he owned the whole county and had al
the tax to pay. Intelligent, fearless anC
honest, he could always be found on The
side of economy and justice.
Robert l. Chester, our distinguished float
er, made many friends among his honorable
associates. As age gives flavor and charm
to wine, so it has added wisdom and expe-
rience to this veteran in the public service
Robert |. Chester is one Of the grand ole
landmarks of the past that stands proudly
forward as a fit representative of the pres
ent. He is not numbered by the old fogy
notions of the ''auld lang syne," but live:
and has his being with the active present.
