movement to oppose them.

In the history of conventions, was
there ever such farcical fizzle as that
recently assembled at Louisville? In
all the country, there was but one man
deemed worthy by the Brick-BIanton-
Bummers to be their Presidential cans
ddate, and that one man after screwing
the courage OF the Bourbons to the
sticking place Of holding Convention,
leaves them in the mud as it were, and
swears like FALsrAFF, "he II not march
through Conventry with them, that's
flat" We cannot blame Mr.. OCoNoR
tor his decision, and yet after all the
drumming and bluffing Of months to
arrive at the lame and impotent con-
clusion of holding on to the names after
the men have positively declined. is for
the unterrified Bourbons to reach a
lower depth of abject humiliation and
despair than we had thought it possi-
ble.
The purpose for which the movement
was inaugrated has miserably failed.
The nomination OF Mr.. O'CoNoR was to
carry New York for GRANT. and the
nomination Of JOHN QUINCY ADAMS was
to carry all the Cincinnati soreheads-
Germans, Free Trade Leaguers and
Labor Reformers-who had soured on
the candidacy Of Mr.. GREELEY because
CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS was not
chosen. There were few honorable
men mixed in that Louisville chow-chow
who were really and truly and consci-
entiously hopeful that thorough going
Democrat might be put up with a
chance TO defeat Gen. GRANT. 0fcourse,
there wssue sAstaay' hope for such a
mirscie. sbut their Wishes went honestly
with their hopes, aud these few are en-,
titled to our sympathies for the lesson
ia treachery Of which they have been
made the victims. AS for the others,
the genuine Brick Blsntons, they are
the laughing slock ofthe country. They
failed in their little game for New York
and they failed in everything but in
making themselves supremely ridicu-
lous.

THERE is a great deal of excitement
in California just now in relation to
Dminations for Congress. The people
Of San Francisco especially are greatly
enrsged over the attempt male last
winter by the Pacific railroad p eople to
capture Goat Island, and keenly feel
the disgrace of having their State rep
resented in the United States Senate by
an adventurer, who is merely the crea-
ture of a greedy private corporation.
The railroad company now undertakes
to dictate the nominations of both polit-
ical parties. and it appears probable
that the best citizens Of the State will
mite in a non-partisan, independent
movement to oppose them.

Corpse Found.

Early yesterday morning, says the
Phoebe Record Of December q, the body
Of Philip weisgerber was found in the
road leading to Highland, and not far
from the County Hospital. Thomas
Tilley, a wood-chopper, was among
the first who found the body. He rose
about five O'Clock, and being told thar
n drunken man lay in the road, went
to the spot indicated, and found the
dead body. There were no evidence
Of a struggle. Deceased was lying
with his left hand under his head he
was frothinga and bleeding at the mouth.
the body was quite warm and Timber,
and did not appear to have been dead
long. Tilley gave notice to Coroner
Philson, who summoned a jury Of in-
quest. In addition to the testimony Of
Tilley, George Miller, bartender at
the Philadelphia Brewery, testified
that deceased was a native Of Bavaria,
and no thought he vas about ~ years
of age. Il. W. Allen, Of the City Club
Rooms, testified that deceased had been
doing general work for him for about
six weeks; that he had been Of tenn

morning, when he appeared to be well ;

q large quantity Of blood sffused
around the lungs, caused by the rup-
ture of one OF the blood vessels Of the

cent to Cause death; there were no

Pneumonia is a very prevalent dis.
case In this State, if we are to believe
that every one dies Of the disease who
is said to, or Is so stated In the news
papers. The fac. of it il, that many
who die from intemperance or expos
ure arc, by the promptings Of a par
douable dellcacy or from regard for
the feelings Of friends and relatives,
said to have died Of pneumonia. It is
a convenient and generally satlsfae-
tory cause to assign. In the new
towns and camps Of this section, pneu-
monia thus prevails, most slarmlngly
in the Winter season, yet people who
take good care Of themselves, and have
good food and shelter, are not afflicted
with 1t. In the early settlement OF
White Pine and other districts In the
eastern part Of the State, pneumonia
was very prevalent and fatal, owing
to lack Of shelter, proper food, and to
heavy whisky drinking. We do not
hear SO much OF it nowadays. The
Phoebe Record Of December eth says :
The Christmas holidays have given
rise to a great amount Of convivlality,
which may be excused upon the an
nual recurrence Of this festive season.
But the sight Of half a dozen men help
lessly Intoxicated and lying npon
the sidewalks, exposed to the inclem-
ency OF the weather, reminds US for
chilly that "there Is no vice which, in
in one black and awful gulf, swallows
up so much Of hope anu happiness as
intemperanc0."

Savagery.

The Indians murdered a young
squaw named Jenny, on the Humboldt,
a few miles below Winnemucca, last
week. Jealousy IS supposed to have
instigated her husband to commit the
murder. Jennie loved white men, not
wisely bit too we'll. This Is the third
murder for like cause the Indians are
known to have committed in this
vicinity. Unlike most Indians, the
Piutes punish with death those Of their
women who stray from the paths Of
virtue with seductive pale faces. It
seems, however, that the brothers and
husbands of the frail ones have dis
cretionary powers In such cases, and
can exercise 1t as they please. They
are the juries, the judges and the ex-
ecutioners. II a Pluto woman has
neither brother mol husband, she has
entire control Of her person and 10
not held accountable for her disposl-
ton of it. Some time ago Manda Jack
killed one of his squaws and burned
the body. When asked why he conn.,
mitted the murder, he quoted Piute
law, as above stated, in Justification Of
the act.-HunbolM Siiuer State, Dec.

WHAT'S THE MATTERr

We notice that wltnlu o last rev
days certain newspapers in this State.
and the Virginia Enterprise Jones'
chief organ, especially, profess to feel
an excessive degree Of alarm lest their
favorite should not succeed In being
elected to the much coveted position Of
United States Senator. In a long edl-
torial this morning the Enterprise free
ly expresses this alarm. What's the
matter. Jones' money. and the most
shameless, baretaced intrigue and cor
ruption, carried the recent election for
Jones. True merit In political aspi-
rants to other Offices were Ignored or
set aside, and all made subservient to
the one great idea, to elect Jones men
70 the Legislature. The great Jones
interest triumphed. 1t was not an
election Of the people, or the triumph
Of true merit and honest principles,
but 1t was the triumph Of twenty dol
lar pieces and gold notes. Had there
been any good, honest Republican,
squarely In the field against him, Jones
would not have carried the election.
Under the circumstances the Jones In
terest triumphed at a cost Of about
$4,000. expended principally In the
purchase ofvotes.
Jones and his friends claim that the
members elect to the Legislature are
all Jones men, pledged to his support,
and that II they vote according to their
pledges Jones cannot fail to be elected
Senator. Such being the case, does 1t
not look like . foul, dirty insult, for
the Jones management to doubt their
integrity? Is 1t not plainly saying to
them, ave put you there for the spe-
cific purpose Of voting for Jones. You
were given the high and honorable po-
sltion for that particular consideration,
and now sell out II you dare" But
who says that attempts will be, or are
being made to buy the Legislature Into
q decision adverse to Jones? Who in
sultingly says that the legislators are
subject or liable to be bought over
with money to the interest Of some
other Senatorial aspirant? Who Is
thus raising the note OF alarm and dis
trust? The Jones papers. Wherefore
this alarm? Did the Jones party elect
men to the Legislature whom they
could not trust, whose fidelity they
know from experience Is not above
being influenced By the almighty gold
note? Do they fear that they may be
defeated BY the same mercenary means
through which they mercenarily sought
to accomplish their end? g
Verify, purely moneyed, unprincl-
pied fight as this has been. I, a deci-
dedly uncertain arrangement, and
sooner or later Is liable to come to a
just termination. Aspiring political
monopolists, who think they a buy
their way into the high places Of the
nation, the same as they can buy up
the monopoly Of mines. deserve to be
snubbed. and should It urn out as
Jones' newspaper editorial alarmists
openly express their fears, and Jones
and his friends should be defeated
through either money or honest prin-
ciple. it will be nothing more than
they deserve. 10 use this mornings
language, but not the meaning, Of the
Enterprise: In consideration OF their
conduct, we think it about time that
the persons engaged in these intrigues
should be taught a salutary lesson"

Miners Strike at Phoebe.

Yesterday, says the Phoebe Record
Of December 9th, about n hundred
men, engaged In the Lightner shaft OF
the Raymond and Ely mine, struck.
The cause Of the strike was the deter
mination OF the company to substitute
ten-hour shifts for the e~ight-hour ar
rangemsnt formerly In vogue. At
z O'clock yesterday morning the men
went down into the shaft, and at 3
O'Clock demanded to be brought up.
They refused to work the ten hours,
and the other shit refused to 60 to
work. This brought about q dead is
sue between the company and the
workmen. The company, we under
stand, are determined to hold out, and
the miners seem equally determined
to demand the eight-hour rule. Some
little feeling was exhibited. IS might
we'll be imagined, but no violence was
manifested. Tho miners talk of or
ganiziug a Union similar to that at
Gold Hill. A meeting was called last
evening to take action by the miners
secure their rights.

The Kiss" QuadrnI..
rFron The Nev York Tribune.

lfrOm inc NOW Iofk Irlpuno.l
We read, for the purpose of relaxa.
ton and mental discipline, all the let
tors from Washington to the various
newspapers. Sometimes we have found
them tough and sometimes tender ;
some Of them are joyous and some Of
them gloomy; but lately, we are
pleased to say, the cheerful and en-
couraging mood predominant. All the
writers, we believe, without a single
exception, have something to say Of
''the era of good feeling'' which has
already dawned II 1t has not arisen.
Harmony Is precious. Cordially Is
charming. Union Il what We have al
ways desired and do now desire more
than ever. Jenkins mentions a new
dance, called the "Kiss Quadrille,"
which promises 70 be In vogue in WASH
ington this season, and which, for our
~edifcation, be ts-good enough TO de-
scribe so that we think that we under
stand at least the main and most In
~teresting part Of 1t. When 1t comes
to swinging corners" each gentle
man kisses his partner. and very de-
lightful It must be. May wo DO suf-
fered to consider this delicious terpsi-
chorean innovation as a happy augury?
In the mad mazesl Of the political
dance, changed now from the war per-
formances Into something more pa
cifc, are members Of Congress to kiss
each otheri This certainly would be
touching, though 1t might seem to an
expert bystander, not unaccustomed
to tender ~salutes, just a little taste
less and insipid. Yet We may be per.
mitted TO receive the "Kiss Quadrille''
as of happy augury. Some members
of Congress we should not care to kiss
except from an imperlous sense Of
duty ; but perhaps, II 1t should come
to a general go-rounder, they can
stomach each other. But let us have
fraternity at any cost o fpersonal tastes.
