We received too late for our last issue the
following interesting letter from our cores
pondent at Eureka, Nevada:
4 EUREKA, January Is, 1872.
ED. WORLD: Through our mutual and old
time friend, Judge Gabraith, l now and then
get glimpse of the WORLD, and it gives me
great pleasure to hear of the healthy condition
of my old "pards,' and even if there Is not
much news it does me good to SEQ their names
in print.
When last wrote you, our town was very
dull in every branch OF business, and the pros
poets for a speedy recuperation were shadowy,
indeed, but at present We have visible egiden-
ces of good tunes and plenty of money III the
camp in short time. The Consolidated have
all their furnaces in full blast, and the Rich
mond and Phoenix are turning out large stacks
of bullion which are only awaiting shipment
to bring back the bright aud shining Juveniles
These furnaces starting up, OF course. cause
extra help in the mines and also gives the coal
burners confidence, Tor they know that their
labors will be well rewarded This thihs
out the town." OF course, but tn good advant-
age If it would only take away forty or fifty
of the big loaters who are eternally striking
some one for breakfast money, would declare
the camp in tlourishing condition. But until
luis Town IS Incorporated lcdI III VIII never
get rid of its many pimps and bummers.
The two crushing mills will not start up for
several weeks yet on account Of the roads be-
ing in such bad condition as to prevent them
from getting in their finishing machinery trom
the railroad.
There have been several important sales of
mines here in the last ten days but as | am
not certain about tho prices, / can only say
that they were well up in the thousands. The
Consolidated company purchased the General
Lee mine, paying, think, sixty five thousand
dollars. and they will put up Il 2J-stamp as
soon rs possible.
The news that | have from Shell Creek is
generally good That camp is about eighty
five miles southwest from Eureka. and | un-
derstand that our old friend Tom Fitzhugh has
made sale there. getting twenty-five thousand
dollars for his mine but | cannot youch Tor the

Radical exchanges have been engaged for
months past in endeavoring to find an instance,
in some State or Territory, where Democrat
in fduclary capacity had proven false to the
trust reposed in him. In searching zealously
the history ard present condition OF financial
affairs of every section of the country, they
finally found 4 mares nest" in Montana, and
it has been extensively published to the world
as II striking example of the dishonesty OF
Democrats generally that Mr.. Barkley, the
Territorial Treasurer of Montana (who Is
Democrat) was defaulter to q large amount
and that in consequences of his dishonesty the
credit of Montana Territory stood alarmingly
below par the bonds of the Territory were
quoted at disgracefully low figure on change
in New York city, etc. We are happy to an-
nounce that our Radical cotems, as usual, are
either mistaken or wilfully misrepresent the
facts The Montana Legislature, recently in
session, appointed special committee to ex-
anime the books and accounts of Mr.. Barkey,
the officer against whose honesty and Integrity
such insnuati0ns had been SD industrlously cir
culated, and the Deer Lodge Independent OF
January Goth informs us that the committee
found that the Territory was indebted to him
(Barkley) in the sum of 1856 %, and that 1.-The
Legislature passed an act allowing him that
sum-" Radical newspapers throughout the
country, for time, rejoiced and gloried over
the exposure of the frauds of Tammany, aud
Harper's Weekly still INDUCES ii cartoons of
the Tammany thieves; but since they are be-
giuniag to realize that the exposure aud bring
ing to justice of the members of that corrupt
ring cannot be placed To the credit of Radicals,
as Tildcn, Charles O'Conor and other leaders
of the New York Democracy are entitled 10
the credit, we hear but little OF the further pro-
ceedings being carried on by those gallant Dem
ocrats TO root out corruption, even if it is
found within their own ranks. Since our Rad.
zeal friends are disappointed in Mr. BarAlry's
accounts being found all square, with balance
in his favor, we would ask them the question;
if they haven't gone long ways from home
How is it with other Territorial Treasurers
who are not Democrats Can't they hud u
Territorial Treasurer nearer home whose nc.
counts are somewhat mixedl We await AZ
answer and are somewhat solicitOus rs 10 the

MoNTANA.-Wo take the following items
from our late Montana exchanges:
The mining prospects in Montana for the
coming season are more favorable than ever
before at this season of the year. II Is believed
that the gold yield Of 1872. in Deer Lodge
county, will be oue-tbird more than it was last
season
The Helena Reduction WORKS are in full
blast, aud large quantities of fine ore are on
hand.
There was n row among the Chinese in He
lena. short time ago. resulting in one of the
Celcstials being literally cut in two. Two Chi
namcn were arrested and lodged in jail charged
with the crime.
A letter written by b. C. Anderson. who
left Pioneer City last Spring aud went to the
Peace River mines, gives gloomy account Of
that country, and he and his companions in
tend to leave there for Walla Wala Not
over one hundred men are wnteriug there,
and miners cannot work mere than three
months in the year. Very few claims pay
wages, and on Lost Greek only one claim paid
Anderson advises his friends not to come to
that country "a he pronounces it "bilk."
Omenica City is completely deserted, and the
whole country from Quesnellemouth to the
diggings is complete net work of swamps
and lakes, and is destitute Of all game except
fool-hens.
An attempt was recently made by some in
cendiary to fire Deer Lodge City-a mass of
combustibIe material, consisting of matches,
coal oil. shavings, etc, being found in the rear
of Mr.. Elias store. No clue could be obtained
of the scoundrel VINO placed them there,
whereupon a mass-meeting OF the citizens re-
solved that the first person caught in an at
tempt to fire the town should dangle at
ropes end

4 PROPER MEAsURE.-A bill has been in
trOduced in the California Legislature exempt
ing editors, printers and reporters from service
on juries, and there appears to be no doubt
but that it will become law. 1t is nothing
more than an act of justice to persons engaged
in that branch of business, as those connected
with the newspaper business become
acquainted with all the details of such cases as
are of public Importance before they are called
for trial; which knowledge renders them in
competent rs jurors. Such an exemption law
should become general.
P. S.-since the above was placed in type
we learn that the bill was defeated in the As

SENSIBLE CoURsE.-The Salt Lake Herald
of January 3lst says it is understood that
Deputy U. s. Attorney High has received q
telegram from U. S. Attorney Bates informing
him that Attorney General Williams has or
dered him to move for the release, on reasona-
bic bail, of all the prisoners held in custody
charged with murder, and that the matter
would be brought up before Judge Mexican at
2 o'clock, p. NJ, of that day. If the Attorney
General has so instructed Mr.. Bates, he has
pursued a very sensible course, as the reten-
ton in custody of Brigham Young and other
leading Mormous, on trunped-up charge of
murder founded on the evidence Of such an
outlaw and cut-throat as Bill Hickman, is an
outrage of which no decent court could be
guilty. The principal witness, upon whose
testimony indictments were found against sew
eral Mormons for the murder of DR.. Robinson,
has been arrested for perjury, and If he and
Bill Hickman had their just deserts they would
doubtless both have been hung long ago.

NORTHERN IDAuo.-We take the following
items from the Lewiston Journal of late date !
The city election in Lewiston comes off on
the second Monday in March.
Mr. Texier who has been laid up for some
time in Lewiston from having his feet badly
frozen, had them both taken off few days
ago. Drs Kelly and Stanton amputated both
legs just below the knee joint, and Texler,
at last accounts, was getting along finely.
Mr. r. H. Worden, County Treasurer, has
received $40 so from the Territorial School
fund. being the amount appurtioned to Nez
Perez county.
The snow ia four feet deep in the town of
Pierce City.

RADICAL FEUD IN OREGoS.-The Walla
Walla Statesman says that the removal of A.
B. Meacham from the SUPPLEMENTARY of In
dian affairs for Oregon was brought about by
Senator Corbett, who is determined that not a
single friend of ex-senator Williams shall re-
main in Office in that State if he can prevent
it. Corbett is, of course. a candidate for re-
election, and Williams is also anxious to get
back into the Senate There will, undoubted-
ly, be bitter war between the adherents OF
these two worthless, and the more they quarrel
the better it is for the Democrats. We think,
however, that neither one of them will again
warm seat in the Senate chamber. The De-
mocracy Of Oregon will select a successor to
Corbett as they did to Williams.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.-Thc Woman Suffrage
cause has lately received staggering blow nj
the hands of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
After Il careful consideration OF the claims of
the "crowing hens" to the ballot. the Com
mittee. January 18th. unanimously reported
that neither the Fourteenth nor the Fifteenth
Amendment conferred the right of suffrage on
women. and that the right of the States to ex-
clude females from voting was untouched by
the amendments, and, indeed, recognized by
the Fifteenth. Mrs Woodnull and Theodore
Tilton will have to take new departure. and
their next demand will doubtless be that
another amendment. recognizing "womeu's
rights" be- submitted to the several States for
their ratification or rejection. We shall cx.
pect to hear of Susan q. Anthony, Mrs. Stan
ton, Theodore Tltou, Senator Sargent. and
other old women, taking the stump in the cause

THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 8, 1872
TARRED AND FEATHEREp.-Los Angeles,

TARRED AND FEATHERED.-Los Angeles,
California, has had sensation lately, and one
that is liable to occupy the attention of the
courts, as well as of the people. One Dr. Juan
G. vasquez, formerly of Guadalaiari, Mexico,
arrived in Los Angeles several months ago
and engaged in the practice of his profession.
He soon became acquainted with the leading
native California families, and among others,
with the family of Don Augustin Olivera,
where he became q constant visitor, paying
his attentions to the Don's unmarried daugh-
ter. The doctor and the daughter, becoming
enam0red of each other, determined to get
married, but the old Don, having heard rumors
derogatory to- the character of the Doctor
wrote to Guadalaara to learn of the Doctors
antecedents-the couple agreeing to await an
answer,-but before any reply was received to
the letters, the Doctor and the Don's daugh-
ter. although they were both Catholics, slipped
off and were married by the civil authorities,
ignoring the marriage rites of the Roman
Catholic church. This so incensed the friends
of the brides family that. one evening. the
Doctor was induced to leave his hotel on the
pretext of visiting q sick person, who lived IN
an out-ofthe-way place, and when he had ar
rived at convenient place he was seized BY
persons who had been lying in ambush, stripped
of all his clothing. had his hair, eyebrows and
beard shaved off. and was then, after being
pretty well kicked and thumped, tarred and
feathered and turned loose to find his way
back to town as best he could. The matter is
now in the hands of the police, who are en-
deavoring to ferret out the perpetrators of the
outrage.

Nor SUEPRfsED.-A Newburyport Mass. }
local paper says the women of that burg prac-
tice snutf-dipping extensively. We are not
surprised at the vicious or unclean practices
of the people of a town that produced such a
speciman of humanity as Moulton, ex-U. S.
Marshal of idaho. He dipped in quite extern
sively while here, but instead of snulf.dipping
he dipped into the pockets of his friends.

JUST So.-The Statesman says that the
Territory of Arizona is out of debt and over
$1,000 surplus money in the treasury. She
has been under Radical rule ever since her or
gapization, eleven years ago." The State Of
South Carolina is in debt about s3O,OoO,0OO
and has been under Radical rule ever since
the close of the wpr,-less than seven years.
