THE EIGHTH OF JANUARY.

To-day is the sth OF January day
which once had a much higher place
in the list of American holidays than
1t has had during late years. But it
is still a day which no true American
can allow 10 pass without n feeling OF
pride. II recalls glorious recollections
OF a great fight made, a great battle
won, in which the invader of u
couniry's soil was made TO appreciate
the soldierly abilities hitherto de-
spised. With this recollection the
great name of Andrew Jackson will
always be associated. The battle of
New Orleans immortalized the Amer
lean leader, and paved the way for the
great political triumphs with which
his memory will always be identified.
The eighth Of January should never
pass without a grateful acknowledge
ment from the American people.

THE REPUBLICAN TREASURER OF
WHITE PINE COUNTY.

A bill passed the Legislature the
other day amending the general Act
relative to the powers of Boards of
County Commissioners, empowering
them to offer rewards for the appre-
hension of defaulting officers. Its
passage was more particularly designed
TO aid in the apprehension of Lewis
Cook, late Treasurer of White Pine
county, who has suddenly disap-
peared, taking with him about $4,000
Of the county funds. When last heard
from he was in san Frarcisco. though
there j. a report or suspicion that he
had left for Mexico. Cook, like
Rhodes, of State Treasury deiaulting
fame, was a Republican politician, and
like him had tact and audacity sufi-
cicnt to retain much of the public con
fidence long after suspicious were
ailoat that something was wrong fnan-
cially.
This wa not Cooks frs. attempt TO
betray his constituents. Last Spring
he started from Hamilton under pre-
tence of conveying some Sl6,OO0-,he
States apportionment OF the taxes coll
lected in that county-to Carson; but
not coming to Carson, and nothing
being heard from him for several days,
some alarm was created among his
bondsmen, who finally t~elegraphed TO
the Chief of Police in san Francisco,
who found him in that city. Cooks
relatives managed 10 arrange the mat
ter and to have the sum due the State
paid Owe To the Treasury; and in order
To give a fair coloring TO Cooks re-
turn, he was appointed ostensibly to
manage e branch of the business at
Hamilton, though, il i said, the bust
ness was really in the hands of an
agent. Cook wen. % work TO regain
the confidence of the public. which
had been somewhat impaired iby this
transaction, and 10y the alarm again
created by one of his boud>men, who
had him arrested while on his way 10
the railroad. An examination was
made Of the public accounts. To meet
the deficit already existing, Cook bor-
rowcd money among his friends to
make a showing on the count of the
county funds, and thus STAYED of fur

nearly sufficient to have built a first

the residence Of DR.. Sharp, in the
western part of town, which ground
is and has been for years lying idle.
and is probably the best site for a pub
lie school in the county. The present
school building and grounds might
probably be sold for $500. 4 suit

say $1,000, leaving bu. $1,000 TO be

THE ~DEsERTERs

The New York sun thinks that the
debate in the Senate on the San Do
mingo affair took such a turn that il
there was ever an occasion when a
President might claim that his politi-
cal and personal friends were bound
to stand by him without %flinching,
this wes that occasion. Thus tested
what does the record show? There
are in the Senate sixty-two members
who are bound by party lies and the
circumstances of their election TO sus-
tain a Republican President. For his
pet scheme. TO carry which under the
specious nretcnse of a Congressional
inquiry Grant had laid himself out to
the utmost, he got only thirty-one of
these s~ixty-two votes, or precisely ome-
half. Where were the remaining half?
One was sick, had just resigned,
two paired oil, five had the courage TO
dodge the Presidential measure, and
twenty-five lodged the vote. Half of
the New England delegation aban-
doned Grant, including such conspic
nous Republicans a Wilson. Anthony,
buckingham aud Ferry. Where. in
this trying hour, were Fenton, Cattell.
Cameron. Trumbuil and Harlan. with
other magnatcs Of the party ia the
Central and Western states? They
deserted the President. rs did also half
a dozen of the most influential Repub-
Leans from the former slayeholding
States.
That Grant will try to bring to the
bio X the first five Senators who were
bold enough to vote against him.
there is no doubt. But what will he
do with the twenty-five who lodged.
Will be call them up 70 be shot n d..
sertcrs? Gen. Grants experience in
the army must have taught him that
shooting j. a game that two can play
nj. Then what will lac do with these
doscrters? Will he drum them ont Of
the Republican camp; or will they
combine to take from him his swort
at the close of his present term o
office? The issue is made up and can
not DC lodged.
