HOTEL ARRIVALS.


We are informed by the officers and
managers of this club that they will need
nnch assistance in getting up theirpurses
for the races to take place in October, and
that the Finance Committee will canvass
this county in few days for that pur-
pose. We suggest that all business men
will be benefited by the large number of
people who will come from all parts of
coast to witness these races. Some to a
greater extent than others, but all direct
" or indirectly. Therefore they should
subscribe as literally as they can afford
to make these purses respectable and wor-
thy the attention of possessors of good
stock. We have but few amusements in
this town and these can be witnessed for
small sum in coin. The turf has been
the fashionable resort for Kings, mobiles,
and fair ladies' for centuries, and Presi-
dents and their Cabinets have amused
themselves with fleet steeds and the ex-
citelnent of the race. As races are fash
ionable and harmless let us make these
first class in every particular.

PETROLEUM ".

We had the pleasure of meeting this
ancient Democrat last night at the cor
ners. He is hopeful of a grand recon-
struction yet this fall, and takes his liquid
nourishment straight, and believes in fu-
ture rewards and punishments. He re-
ports things quiet at Steamboat and on
the line of the railroad. Only one re-
markable item has come under his i'm
mediate observation. He says on the
day of the Democratic Greeley Conven-
ton at Reno, one of the large springs at
Steamboat ceased to flow and remained
inactive until the day of the Repul can
State Convention, when it burst out anew
and larger and more powerful than ever.
This he considers bad omen for his
party, prophetic of disaster and destruc-
ton. Coming events cast their shadows
before. He has returned to his p. o.
Office.

RANCHES ABOUT CARsoN.-The ranches
in Kings Canyon, and about Carson this
year, have been unusually productive.
The soil of the whole valley only requires
water to make it produce any of the ceri-
ais, or vegetables that can be grown in
this climate. Messrs. Phillips, Wood,
Treadway, Nevers and Thorne, and in
fact all We have heard of in the valley
have raised fine crops, and their nearness
to market, and the good prices their pro-
duce commands, not only makes their
places valuable, but farming a paying
business. None have been restricted in
the use of water this year, and the result
is much more satisfactory i'll the yield
Thrre is but one drawback to the univer-
sal success in this department, and that
is a scarcity of water which some years is
severely felt.

WHAT We KNOW ABOUT THAT TEAM.

WHAT We KNOW ABOUT THAT TEAM
We promised in our issue of yesterday to
tell the fate of that carriage and the four
grays. We saw the outfit yesterday and
remarked its condition. The team and
carriage are here, and the four grays are
all right, but the carriage is wreck of
its past grandeur. A few days in the
shop, however, will bling it out as good
as new. There is bad looking face in
town, and few cripples, but nothing
bad or chronic. Alittle time and the care
of a skillful physician will soon repair
all damage in This line.

Civil Service Reform.

Hon. Aaron +. Perry, member of Con-
gress from Cincinnati, Ohio, and one OF
the ablest and most incorruptible men in
public life, made speech on Civil Service
Reform in Congress last week, which is
thus spoken of by the Commercial cores
pOndent:
The speech of Mr.. Perry was an eXcep-
tiOnaIly good one. 1t laid down certain
principles and followed them logically
and clearly to the end. He questioned
the constitutional power of Congress to
create commission to organize any civil
service system, and held the position that
the President was responsible for all the
offices, and that he cannot escape the re-
sponsibility. He was not in favor of any
commission like that now organized, be-
hind which the President can shelter him
self from bad appointments, nor was he in
favor of distributing the offices among
Representatives in Congress. On this sub
iect his views are much like those OF Sen
atOr Trumbull and he would enact a law
making it q misdemeanOr for members of
Congress or other public officers to rec
Ommend appointments to the civil service.
He maintained these points with great
ability and earnestness.

The Washington papers i'll noticing
Beck's reply to Brownlow think he didn't
come to time.
The Republican says Mr.. Beck, in the
House yesterday, replied to Senator
BrownlOw's personal explanation in the
Senate the day before. Mr.. Beck slightly
overdid the thing.
The Chronicle says: We sincerely trust
that Mr.. Beck, of Kentucky, feels easier.
He has certainly rid his intellectual
stomach of heavy load, and he is to be
congratulated. He may now consider it
as absolutely established before the Ash
land district, poor, dear Harry Clay be-
lore the whole country, nay, before the
whole anxious world, that he never kept
a livery stable, n good, honorable, high
| toned business y that he is mo braggart

| that no man should strike him and live,
and that he had not called Mr.. BrownIow
"cripple" and an "imbecile ~ he NAV
indeed consider it established before all of

The Banner on the Baxter Departure.

/ The Banner does not bolt the Baxter
movement as we supposed it would. 1t
practically endorses it as follows:
"Such document emanating from such
a source is of no little political significance.
Judge Nelson, who but few weeks since
resigned his position upon the Supreme
Bench of the State, is a citizen of emf
nence in the Tennessee bar, and long dis
tinguished in the politics of the State, and
particularly in East Tennessee, where he
yields great influence. His proposal is
not likely to meet with much favor at the
hands of partisan OverseerS, the chiefs of
ward caucuses, the executive committees
and high priests of political Gcumenical
councils generally, but to the rank and file
of Tennessee Conservatism from one who
IS now, himself distinguished high pri-
vate, it will be received with respectful
and unprecedented consideration"
