CARSON CITY.
Saturday, --- Nov. %. 1879

By telegram we learn that a very
positive denial is given by those who
at least have the right to the conf
denee of the Administration, to the
rumors that Grant intends to recon-
mend in his annual message, now in
course of preparation, the revival of
the project for the annexation of
San Domingo, or that he intends to
recommend a policy looking to the
acquisition of Cuba. The San Fran
cisco Examiner, of the 9th, says the
message will be delivered to Con-
gress two weeks from to-day when
any doubts in these particulars will
of course be removed. But aside
from that it is learned that the an
~nexation party in San Domingo and
their co operating American railway
and financial and other interests are
now all opposed to the revival of the
annexation project. A concerted
effort is being made to develop in
ternal improvements there, by the
building of a railroad. etc. The
Americans. who own property in the
island. while favoring annexation, do
not think that now is the opportune
time to urge it.

A New York correspondent has
made a discovery that is dreadfully
shocking to old prejudices, as we'll
as a singular indication of some not
able mental differences between the
sexes. He says, taat in canvassing
the Eight Ward. where nearly ali
the negroes of New York live, he
found more than three thousand
negro men married to white women,
and but N white man married to a
negro woman. Among the females
many are claimed to be young and
handsome, while most of them are
represented to be contented and even
cheerful. The correspondent who
has made this discovery says he in
quired of several of the white women
how they came to marry negroes,
and the answer was that sit was
better to be a black mans wife than
a white mans mistress" If these
answers are true. it seems that the
alliances are justified more on the
score of morals than on that of
aesthetics. If there is such a dispro-
portion between white men and
white women, it would also indicate
that the ONE are the more sus-
ceptible, through the obstacles in
the way of the marriage or the self
support of woman in the lower
classes of life undoubtedly influence
them in the choice between a col
ored husband or none at all.

The Truckee Republican, of a lat.

The Truckee Republican, of a late
date. says:
THE Indians hereabouts are a
pitiable, miserable race of beings.
As Winter approaches and the frosts
pinch, these miserable wretches pick
up all the rags and old skins they
can find and hang them about their
persons. They seem to are but
little about building fires for their
comfort, or else they are too lazy to
make them. All day long they may
be seen huddled together in groups
about town. The colder it Is the
less they seem to exercise. If there
is anything in these Washoe Indians
that looks as if they took kindly to
civilization, We fail to see it. The
sooner they pass away to their
happy hunting grounds the better
for them"

The Supreme Court of Illinois has
Just made a decision in the case of
certain property-owners against the
Chicago City Railway Company,
which is of general public import
ance. Some time previous to the
fire, the company. under the pro-
visions of an old city ordinance, un-
dertook to Law down a certain track.
Certain property on the line
of the track applied for an Injunction
in the Circuit Court, but fine Court
ruled in favor of the company. An
sppeal was taken to the Supreme
Court, and the Supreme Court has
now affirmed the decision of the
Court below. which leaves the com
pany free to resume its track-laying.

AN ABDUCTION CASE.

The East against Charles Peterson
and Thomas Abbott. which has been
pending in the Police Court for sev
eral days, says the San Francisco
Bulletin of FRIDAY, was examined
yesterday afternoon. The defend
ants were accused of eEticing q
yonng girl named Mary O'Neil from
the family of her uncle. and keeping
her secured and confined in q cruel
name for several days. The affair
has meantime furnished the text for
elaborate efforts by sensation repor.
tiers, spiced with narrowing details,
the gist of which is very much dis
PEELED by the development of the
actual facts. The statement of the
young girl was to the effect that she
was engaged to be married to Peter
son. and had voluntarily put herself
under his care. She was placed in a
secret apartment in Peterson's prem
ises to avoid being discovered by
her uncle, at her W request. The
love letters written by the girl were
produced in evidence to show the re-
lations existing between the parties
which were very tender. The girl
is sixteen years Of age. Altogether
the transaction was a very curious
one. but the charge of abduction or
forcible detention appeared to be I'M
founded The case had not been
concluded at the close of our report.

THE BOSTON LOSSES.

The Boston Advertiser furnishes
the most elaborate and perhaps the
most correct statement on this head
that we have yet seen of the losses
from the fire in Boston. From its
array of facts, it appears hat the
burnt district will slightly exceed
siSty-four acres, or 2,7S7 $40 square
feet. Deducting the space occupied
by streets, the area covered by build
ings is a little less than 1000, 900
square feet. Assuming that struc-
lures covered this space, and that
they were worth so per square foot,
the loss of buildings will amount to
$40, OO0, 900. The number of build
ings consumed is roughly estimated
at I'VE 900. The loss on merchan-
disc is set down by competent e1-
perts, taking into consideration the
structures occupied as offices and
stock of goods, at about three
times the amount of loss in build
ings, making the aggregate $50, OOO,-
900. On this it is doubtful if the
insurance will run up to twenty per
cent. Chicago lost II, 900 buildings,
covering 2,l24 acres; the loss in
buildings in that city was $50, 0O0,-
900, and merchandise and personal
property s143. 600, OOO-being a total
S196, OOO, OOO-more than twice the
loss by this great fire in Boston.

T The BATTLE.
From the New York Times.)

(From the New York Times.)
"There will be a great rush for
places and the usual lively demand
for rewards of political merit. In
dlcatlons of a terrific onslaught for
offices, in many cases by those who
were only active in support of Pres
ldent Grant when they thought the
chance of rewards was clearly on
that side, if any,, are increasing.
Civil Service Reform. especially
III that most important phase
which depends upon severing the
connection between political work
and civil appointments, will from
now till next March meet with a Sc
we're trial, and great firmness will be
required to carry it through the cri-
sis safely"
"Ofice and its emoluments" are
now the demand of the campaigners,
and civil service reform is again up
on the tongues of men, and upon the
tongue of that thousand-headedc rea-
ture, the public press. Are the
people to be baked in their expecta-
tons of this reform? The mere po-
say yes, but it is in the
power of the President to say no,
and he certainly has public opinion
enough to back him in carrying out
his old pledges to the people. One
of the loudest complaints among the
standard clerks in Washington is,
TO promotion awaits them I'M
less backed by personal and political
influence. 1t is not a question of
merit or qualification, but who has
strongest political hackers, and
hence when the chiefs summon
of the lower class for a trial
If abilities, the best clerks have no
part or lot in the examinations for
1t is the old story of
modest worth and mental capacities
'et aside for those who are the least
entitled to the best places. Surely
he President can now afford to trust
lis friends and do better than this.

The Hd,osyncracIes Of JurIes,

Strange as the statement may appear,
there were never two companions so i'll
assorted as republican 60 ernment aud
jury trial. The latter, as instituted with
US, is essentially miniature illustration
of monarchy. In republics the majority
rules in juries, the minority. A mans
ruling power is not confined to an active,
dominant impulsion of the acts Of other
men. II may be quite as effective end
absolute by means of his capacity tore.
sist-his uis inertie-his faculty Of de.
feating. The power to nullify is as am.
pie as the power to originate and dictate
action. But, it may be said, stubborn
juryman, in favor of hanging for in
stance, is bound by his oath to give the
prisoner the benefit of every reasonable
doubt. And it may be answered that a
monarch is bound quite as strictly by
his coronation oath. They are both
sworn to do their duty, that is all, they
being the judges of duty. 1t possible
for this anomaly in our Jurisprudence to
do things which a monarch would not
dare attempt in civilized countries. A
iuryman may effectually debar his fell
low-citizens of his most essential rights
at his discretion. In some respects the
vote of Roman dictator was not more
formidable power A somewhat ceiebra-
ted case in New York has just added a
new illustration of the foregoing posi-
tions. A young married woman, while
in a frenzy of Indignation and alarm, shot
brutal ruffian who had seduced her be-
fore marriage, aud was continuing to
persecute her with base attentions. After
a long trial, ten jurymen we're in favor
of acquittal. and two for verdict OF
manslaughter in the third degree. As a
final resort, the ten offered to compromise
on verdict of manslaughter in the
fourth degree, fixing the hne at 81. .oOO,
and pledging themselves to make 1t up
by equal contribution. But the tEo
were not satisfied even by this novel dfs-
play of generosity, and the poor wretch
vent back to prison.

Young Man. You're wanted.

A woman wants you; don't forget her.
No matter if you are poor, don't wait to
be rich; if you do, ten to one If you are
fit to be married. Marry while you are
young and struggle up together. But
mark. young man, the woman don't wan
you if she is to divide her affections with
cigar, spittoon, or whisky jug; neither
does she want you if you don't care fol
her and the little after thoughts which
are pretty sure to follow. Neither does
she want you simply because you are a
man, the definition of which is too apt
to be-an animal that wears bifurcated
garments on his lower limbs, quarter
sections of stove pipe on his head, swears
like pirate, aud given to filthy practices
generally. She wants you for compan-
ion. for q helpmate; she wants you to
have learned to regulate your appetite
and passions; in fact, in the image OF
God, not iu the likeness of beast. If
you are strong in good purpose, frm
in resistance to evil, pure iu thought
and action as you require her to be, and
without which inward purity neither OF
you are fit to be husband and wife; If
YOU love virtue and abhor vice; if you
are gentIemauly. forbearing and kind,
and Cot loud talking, exacting, and bru-
tsl-young man, that woman wants you;
that modest, fair, cheerful, right looking,
frank spoken woman, we mean, who fills
your idea of maiden and wife. 1t is she
that wants you; marry her when you like,
whether rich or poor; We trust you both
on the above conditions, without any
further security.
