Senators aforesaid, being too nice TO pat
ronize s'ich a performance, wCro te"er
found among the audience, but indulged
their curiosity by getting behind the stage
and pecping through the curtains. The
performers got tired Of this and resolved
to EXPOSE them, SC one evening in the

ANOTHER TRANS CONTINENTAL
RAILROAD PROJEt'tEU

III restonse to the agonizsd appeals of
the major portion Of the San Francisco
press, called forth By. The proposed occu-
patton of Goat Island by tie Central Pa
cifc, party of gentletien from St. Louis,
representing the ktldntic and Pacific
Railroad Company have visited San
Francisco. After comforting with their
St. Louis visitors, the San Francisco
Committee of One Hundred made prop
osition; of Just such a character as was to
be expected, illi0eral and selfish in the
extreme. As one of the st. Louisans
truthful'y said, San francisco is like st.
Louis was twenty years ago, " behind
the times" St. Louis, however, has
walked up but the great city Of the Pa
cifc Coast, despite its big scare, is still
somnOlent. 1t is extremely doubtful
whether the unfair propositions made by
San Francisco %ill be accepted by St.
Louis and still more Uncertain whether
Gan Francisco would carry them cit if
accepted. San Francisco may depend
upon its capital and natural advantages
or foreign corporations rs much as it
pleases. The plain road out of It's diff
culties lies In obtaining the good will of
the interior or, in other words, the Gus
TONERS out Of whose patronage it has be-
come wealthy. This is easily done. Let
SAN Franciscans cease their cxtortions
and deal with their country cotisins" as
they would be done by. This can be
done at much less expense than will be
necessary to build another railroad.

THE Pittsburg Gazette says Mr.. Gree
ley will be known to history as the great
American co-operator. He co-operat6d
with the South to dissolve The Union ;
with the rebels, to win Bull Run; with
Lincoln, to take Richn,ond with JEFF
Davis, to escape punishment; with Tan,
many, to save Oakley Hall with Ameri-
can manufactures, to secure protection ;
With frec-trnders, to rttih the American
manufacturers with Trumbull, against
the Republicans. He is now co-operat-
ing with the Democrats to beat Grant,
and - july will probably be co-operat-
ing with Grant to beat the Democrats.

A BOOlTERASG.

William Sharon, late managing agent
of the Bank of California at Virginia
City, and John p. Jones were lately rival
aspirants Tor the position OF Senator from
our neighboring State Of Nevada. Aware
that Jones was favored in his political as
pirations by a majority of the miners of
Storey county, Mr.. Sharon attempted to
ALLEVIATE them by charging that Jones
caused the Yellow Jacket mine to be set
on fire about three years ago. Our read
ers will remember the terrible results of
the burning of tic Yellow jacket in
which thirty-eight lives were lost. The
Facts of the case, as recalled by the Vir-
ginia Entc,P59sc, shows that at the time
John =. Jones worked like hero, both
on the surface and underground. He and
Richard Nagle were the last men in the
the mines, and after they camo CIT no
one ventured underground while the fire
ragged. Only superior nerve and pres
ence of mind on the part of Jones pre-
served Nagle's life. The PRONUNCIATION
Of this atrociot8 accusation has aroused
storm OF, Indignation both in San Fran
cisco and Virginia City, that has efFectu-
ally placed Sharon out of tho contest.
In Virginia City the facts are so well
known, and fubic feeling so strong, that
gentlemen always before strong personal
friends OF Sharon say that rather than
recognize him on the street they will
cross to the other side. This attempt 10
utterly ruin Jones has, boomerang-like,
recoiled upon its instigNtor with ten-lold
force. Sharon is out of the ring and
Jones chances are greatly enhanced.

TIE PROCESS OF SELF PUBIFIcATIoN.

TIE PROCESS OF SELF PURIFIcATIoN.
1t IS no doubt d fact TILT victorious
barty like victorious arihy has t!any
mercenary camp-followers Men joir its
ranks for the sole purpose of beccming
recipients of its honors and emoluments,
and if they happen to be unable to rise
from the ranks, or are compelled from
any cause to retire from office, they be-
come disconiented, faplt fnding and in
iinical. A few months ago the Question
was seriously mooted how to rid the Re
publican party of this rubbish. AS the
patronage of the Government diminishes,
and sinecure places were abolished, this
office-seeking element became so impor-
tunate and offensive to the masses; tRat
many people seriously entertained the
idea of calling upon the best MEN and
most advanced elements Of the party to
meet and consult for the purpose of free
ing The party from these barnacles.
Fortunately for the party and the Re-
public, this mercenary element could
stand it no longer. The thieves and their
agents, who in vain Knock at the door Of
the Treasury, with unfounded claims
and other pretexts, and who could neither
by purchase. threats nor cajolenient in
duce the Executive Department to aid
them in the consumation of their rascally
schemes, ddit the Republican party in
disgust to build up new Reform Par
ty" in conjunction with the Democrats,
ex-rebels or any other class Of men who
%oud allow themselves to to be used to
Overthrow the Republican Organization.

purity of the party, gone to Cincinnati
to get up a party for themselves. A
Mackercl Brigade with no one Of less
rank than Brigadier General in the
battalion. We are not disposed to un-
derrate this movement, because whatever
energy and malignity can do, will be
done by these men to regain their lost
places. The Cincinnati Convention may
fairly be called the hungry wolves
Convention, for it is almost exclusively
composed of ollice-holders, who were re-
moved because they had lost the conf
dencc Of the party. Ex- Secretary Cox,

Congressional Printer j, b. Derrees, ex-
Collector Hiram Barney, and every one
Of the prime movers Of tie Convention
are in search of Office, and a spectacle
like this, Of a mass convention of Office
hunters, has never before been witnessed.
The Republican party, purified by this
exodus, will undoubtedI Iy enjoy the con-
fdence Of the public in more eminent

SENATORS TRUMBULL AND SCHURZ.-
Politics sometimes assort men around
very curiously. 4 few years since Trum-
Edll dnd Schurz were bitter enemies. The
Ilinc's Senator made a deadly enemy
of tie Missouri seccdcr N 1861, when he
bitterly ana determncdly opposed the
confirmation of the Teutonic aspirant for
Major-GencrSl III The Union army. We
sympathized with the Missourian volun-
tcer when, in 1867, he denounced Trum-
bull rs an unsound Republican, while
he was seeking reelection from the
Illinois Legislature to the United States
Senate. We thought, with Schurz, that
the circumstances connected with Trum-
bulls retention by johnson in Govern
ment case, where his fee was large and
lis labor nc&t TO nothing, While the great
circle-swingcr was or this impeachment
trial, and Trumbull was one of seven Re-
publican Senators who voted for his ac-
