1NcEND1AR1sM AT PINE GROVE.

EDITOR REGISTER: last Sunday
morning at $3.50 o'clock Mr.. kean's
quartz mill, situated nea the town of
R~ockland, in Esmeralda county, Ne
vada, was entirely destroyed by fire,
which was kindled by the hand of a
malicious and villainous incendiary.
The amount OF property destroyed
must have cost Mr. kean not less than
fifty thousand dollars, the loss of which
does not only injure him, but many of
his creditors and others who are di-
rectly and indirectly interested in the
success of the mining enterprise es-
tablished by him at Rockland. Mr..
kean had just leased his mill and
mine to Henry Williams, of Sweet
water, and ex-Gov. Blasdel of Carson,
and Judge Wells, on the part of Bias
del, was here making arrangements to
commence operations about the 1st of
June. Everything vas progressing
finely until last Saturday night, or
rather Sunday morning before day,
when some man. with arson in his
heart. crept stealthily up to the mill
and kindled a fire i'll sOmeS havings in
the engine ROOM, and in less than an
hour the entire mill was reduced to
old iron, cinders and ashes. Suspicion
rested on one James Rhodes and his
accomplices, and search was institut-
ed by Mr.. kean during the day after

cions OF the people were we'll founded,
and from tracks which were discovered
leading TO and from the mill-tracks
corresponding in every particular with
those made by boots worn by James
RhOdes-a warrant was issued from
the Justices Court at Pine Grove for
the arrest Of Rhodes. He was brought
before Judge Murphy at / o'clock yes
terday for examination. The princi-
pal witness being absent the eXamina-
ton was continued until to-day. This
morning two other men. John Billings
and O. Layure. were arrested as ac-
completes to the wicked deed. The
prosecution is being conducted by
Judge Wells and the defense by Bill
lings and Rhodes themselves. Many
witnesses have been examined, but l
think the examination Will not be
concluded before morrow. There
is already a continuous and unbroken
chain of circumstantial evidence be-
fore the Court which points TO Rhodes
in particular as the guilty party, and
it is hoped that Layure will turn
states evidence. This is the same

Penitentiary from Landercounty some
time ago for an assault to commit mur

LITTLE COTTON woOD.-The Salt Lake

between the mouth of the canyon and
the mines is i'll a horrible condition..
The snow is fast disappearing, but
still covers the ground from a mile
below Central City to the summit to
the depth of from three to an indei-

pRNNsYLyANIA KU KLUX.

In the following observations about
the outrages in Pennsylvania, and the
failure of Grant to enforce the ku kluX
bill. the Louisville Ledger strikes the
nail on the head: Several thousand
men are in revolt iii Pennsylvania.
Buildings have been burned by the
mob, men have been murdered, and
outrages beyond measure have been
committed. Scores of families are al
most perishing OF starvation, because
their heads are driven from the mines
by a tyrannical organization which,
under the guise of a benevolent aSso-
citation, exercises supreme control ana
cloaks villainv of the blacklist dye
This state of affairs has existed Tor
months, and the local military COM
panies are required to maintain strong
Carrisons in the vicinity. Probably
not less than five hundred soldiers are
now on guard. y state oil actual war
now exists, and hundreds of peace
fully disposed families are suffering
all the horrors of the most barbarou>
forms of guerilla warfare. Yet we
hear nothing about hu kluN in that
vicinity. No United States troops are
sent there to aid the local authorities
in the restoration of peace. Congress
has taken no steps TO protect the
people. The habeas corpus is not sus-
pended. The strong arm of the eX-
ecutive, with the army and navy and
the ponderous machinery of the ku
klux bill behind, hangs limp and
listless, and no effort is put forth to
save. The poor miners and their help
less families are left to face the howl
ing ruf1ians whoar numbering them,
with only such assistance as the corn
stalk militia may afford.

THE IELLowsToNE.-A Montana
correspondent of the Corinne Journal
writes from Bozeman City that con
siderable stir has been manifested in
the direction Of Yellowstone. The
mineral wealth of that locality has
long been a matter Of no mean great
ness. About seven hundred men are
now campel adjacent to that section
waiting anXiously for the genial rays
OF Summers sun TO lessen the snow
depths III the mountains. Although
these prospectors seem reticent in their
present situation, yet they are sanguine
of great developmentsand of "striking
it big as soon as the weather is pro
pitious."

THE BLOODY END.

The instruction of Paris is at an
end; and the great city which entered
upon this struggle avowedly for the
maintenance of its distinct municipal
authority, untrammeled by provin-
cial interference, is now under the
domination of the most ~implacable
foes of the Commune. Gen. Ninoy is
in command of the troops who hold
the city, and the report is probably
correct that twenty military districts
| will be carved out of the municipality,
whose troops will be prepared to exc
cute summary martial law to the most
rigorous extreme.
1t is but a few days since the I'M
daunted soldiers of the now dead Com
mune received from the hands of the
populace two magnificent banners, and
amidst the shouts of an excited people
swore to defend the city against its as
s~ailants, or die underline folds of their
flaming colors. The Geographic sum-
mary of the closing scenes of this
attempted revolution has shown how
desperately they adhered to their
pledge, unit. the last gasp of the in
~surrection was given amongst the
tombs and monuments which cover
the dead of the Cemetery la Chaise.
Cotton. in his admirable notes on
the peculiarities of human nature, in
''Lacon," remarked that at is
more dangerous to offend a friend
than an enemy. If Coriolanus- had
been asked why he refused to forgive
Rome. he would have answered: Be
cause l am a Roman The atroclous
~cruelties and unquenchable thirst for
| blood. which marked the e~Xtinguish-
ment of this civil war-and which still
hunts for more victims through the
cellars of Paris, and the refugees of
foreign cOuntrieS-atteSt the intensity
and indestructibility of this unappeas-
able passion of the human heart.
When all else was lost blood could
still be poured out of the hearts of I'M
offending priests and nuns-soldiers
and citizens: and flames were yet TO
enwrap the boosted sea of civilization
with the fiery circles of the contiagra-
tion:-and all hat France should not

the ground that there was not the least
