from the front, having left at IP. NJ. on
Friday. He reports the Indians still in
the lava bed, some of them having been
seen where young Hovey was shot, evi-
IDENTIFY keeping open communication to
the lake for water.
A number of shots were fired along
the lines just before he left and the
tro rps are still remaining in the lava
bed.
Col. Perry with one hundred men
started at 6 A. NJ. the day Merritt left,
for the south side of the lava bed, on the
Truckee road. to cut the Ildians off
from the springs.
The Indian found in Jacks cave was

from the description given and he was
found dead, not wounded as before re-

Eugene Hovey's body was buried near
the camp on Friday afternoon. 1t was
so horribly mutilsted as to be scarcely
recognizable.

Trade the past week has been very

our merchants that their outside Gus

aused by the Mill Companies not draw

only temporary and must be expected at
usual, lumber is being shipped in as
arge quantities as ever, logs are in good
demand at the same prices as last year,
the mills are employing as many men
and paying as good wages as last year;
and, although the mills may be little
slow in their payments for time,
caused by the tight money market in
San Francisco, yet it will all come and
times will improve and money be as
plenty rs ever.
We are assured, from reliable source,
that Mr.. Meigs of the Port Madison
Mills, will return in few days. He
has completed satisfactory arrangements
in San Froncisco for the carrying Oh of
his business there, and upon arriving
here will be prepared to go on with his
business the same as before, and settle
all outstanding bills contracted in his
absence. The people of Seattle feel
peculiarly interested in the success OF
this mill for most of its trade comes
here.
We are informed by gentleman con-
nected with the Northern Pacific r. r.
that active work has been commenced
Oh the new contract Of forty miles and
that it will be pushed rapidly to COM
pletion; also that the Board of Directors
will meet in New York next week, when
it will be decided whether the road will
be built to the Sound this year or only
the forty miles now under contract.
Gold in New York has reacted from
its highest point and looks as if it had
seen "top." On the 1st of May the
Treasury pays out some S1S,00O,O 600 in
gold for interest on bonds and will sell
during the month of May some S6,O0o,-
600 more, large amounts of coin have
been shipped from California to New
York to make the profit in the rise i'll
gold of some ten per cent. Add these
amounts together and we have more
gold than will be needed by merchants
for custom duties and larger amount
than the "gold clique care to buy at
these high figures; so We have good
reason to expect a decline and we hope
there will be since strangers visiting our
Territory with the view Of settling or IN
vesting will be so appalled, at the neces-
sary sacrifice of their currency as to
induce them to hold on to their funds
or return as they came with 1t IN then
pockets.

THE New York Times has inaugurated
another series of children's excursions,
similar in their scope and object to those
which were productive of so much happi-
ness to the poor children of the metropolis
last summer. A fund of nearly five thou
sand dollars has already been raised by the
efforts of the Times staff, and there is
prospect that the excursions will be con-
Quoted even more effectively and satisfacto-
rily than they were last year. The
class they are intended to reach
have very little chance to enjoy the
beauties of the world about them. Their
young lives are smothered in filthy alleys
and filthier tenement houses, and it is an
act of real charity to give them an occa-
sional opportunity to breathe the pure air
of heaven and enjoy the music and flowers
and other good things so bountifully pro-
vided for their delectation. The Times
people did handsome thing last summer,
and we are glad they propose to increase
the large debt of gratitude which thou
sands Of the overcrowded denizens of the
great city already owe to them.

Whn Paws the Taxes 2

A few days ago The Wing undertook the
very absurd task of demonstrating that the
Conservative party of Virginia, comprising,
with here and there an exception, all Of
the old native population of wealth and
intelligence" contributed the entire reye-
nue. for the support of the government, as
well as for the maintenance of the free
schools; whilst, for the immediate pur-
poses of education, they-the old native
opulation-deriyed no direct benefit what
ever from such schools. We are surprised
that so we'll informed a journal, even in its
more impulsive and bitterly partisan
moods, should indulge in the
absurd and transparent fallacy which
its language necessarily implies.
The veriest tyro in political economy
knows, or ought to know, that the reye-
nue. of the government-of all govern
ments, in fact--comes from the pro-
ductve industry of the people. In
other words, labor pays the taxes. The
andholder-unless he be also q laborer--
is a mere middleman, who collects and
pays over to the tax-gatherer the money
wrung from the soil by hard-fsted labor,
without whose aid the land would be
worthless and unable to contribute taxes
of any kind. So of the city landlord. He
creates no wealth. His only function is to
stand between his Woodworking tenant
and the constituted Notwithstanding
his rents by the exactions of the one and
the ability of the other. He has no more
claim to the credit of merit of any kind
so far as the paying of taxes goes-than
has the chip, floating on the tide, for its
motion, which it did not originate and can
not control.
Capital is the stored-up profit of labor,
and the capitalist is entitled TO proper
credit and reward for his prudence in say.
ing or his skill in manipulating this sur.
plus product. But to claim merit for ar
act which, without the aid of labor, he
would be unable to perform, is simply
absurd. The exposure of the fallacy is as
old as the days of Esop and st. Paul. II
is simply the head claiming superiority-ol
indeed, in the case of The Wing, the soil
merlin bodily functions, over the hand
and feet. Whereas, in fact, a community
of capitalists without laborers would b.
worse off than one where the situation wa!
reversed for labor can create capital, bu
capital cannot create labor. ..--.. .

PROF. NEwBERRY has recently pub.
lished some highly interesting information
upon the occurrence and utilization of gas.
wells in the oil-producing regions of the
United States. From this publication We
CLEAN the fact that the town of Fredonia,
New York, has been for more than forty
years either entirely or partly lighted by
gas which issues from springs at that place.
In very many cases where borings have
been made for oil, abundant quantities of
gas have been met with which were then,
and to some extent even yet, looked upon
as a useless and also dangerous product.
Quite recently, however. attempts have
been made to utilize the gas in numerous
localities and with much success. In some
cases these gas-wells have been highly pro-
ductive, yielding an abundance of material
for heating and lighting in most convenient
and manageable form in view of which it
must be looked upon as one of the import
ant elements in the mineral resources of
the country. .....r.-..

The British Medical Journal calls atten-
ton to the measures recommended by the
Council of Hygiene of Bordeaux, for the
better protection of people against the
dangers of hydrophobia. 1t is well known
that the madness of dogs has period
which is premonitory and harmless. If
these periods we're generally known, the
dogs could be put out of the way before
they became dangerous. On this subject
the Council of Hygiene has issued the fol-
lowing instructions: .s.
A short time, sometimes two days, after mad
ness has seized dog. it creates symptoms in
the animal which it is indispensable 10 recog-
niZe.
l. There is agitation and restlessness, and the
dog turns himself continually in his kennel. II
he be at liberty, he goes and comes, and seems
to be seeking something; then he remains mo-
tionless, as If waiting; then he starts bites the
air, as If he would catch q fly, and dashes HIM
self bowling and barking against the wall. The
voice of his master dissipates these haliucina-
tons; the dog oheys, but slowly, with hesitation,
as if with regret ..E..H
fectionate and he eats and drinks, but gnaws his
litter, ends of curtains, the padding Of cushions,
the coverlds of the beds, carpets, &c.
3. BY the movement of his paws about the
sides of his open mouth, one might think he was
trying to free his throat of a bone.
4. His voice undergoes such a change that it is
impossible not to be struck by it. . .....
8. The dog begins to fight with other dogs.
This is decidedly characteristic sign, il the dog
be generally peaceful. aa
The three syptoms last mentioned indi-
cate an advanced period of the disease, and
that the dog may become dangerous at
any moment, if immediate measures are
not taken. 1t is best to chain him up at
once, or better still to kill him.
The Boston Medical and Surgical
Journal suggests that this advice be
inserted at least once year in the public
papers. 1t would seem particularly desira-
BILE and practicable that these rules should
be printed on the back of the notices and
receipts for dog taxes. These excellent
measures ought to be generally adopted.

THURSDAY EvEN'G. JUNE u, 1879

WHEN the Conservative party in Virginia was
organized it proclaimed policy of lbera!iiy
and moderation adapted to the times, in con-
tOrmity TO the changes that had been made by
the war in the laws of the land, free from all pre-
tndice, and open to the acceptance of the one
race as we'll as of the other.-Enqufrer.
Our contemporary ought to be well post
ed as to the "policy" of the Conservative
party in this state, at the time of its organ
izatiOn four years ago. But if it adopted a
policy Of lberalIty and moderation then,
how sadly has it departed from it since. Its
deviation from that policy has not only been
wide enough to drive away hundreds and
thousands of white voters in the state from
its Liberal organization, but has rendered
the colOred vote complete and solid unit
against it. The reason for this change is
palpablc enough, we think, for the most
obtuse intellect to discover. The pro-
claimed "liberality and moderation"
was originally lure and
a sham, and proved itself such Immediate
ly upon the election of Governor Walker.
Many negroes and more white men were
caught by it, as they found to their sorrow
after election and even some of the mag
mates of Washington were not little
taken in bylt. The election Of 1869 was one
of those historic events which especially
demonstrate the value of swapping
horses while crossing stream" OF
course, an honest swap, in strong
current and with an honest nag
was out of the question but dis.
honest one, with tricks, receptions and
legcrdemains, was possible, and it Won.
But, the winning accomplished, the trick
was exposed, and away went the conf
dence Of all honest men in the party. II
is true the party proclaimed a liberal pol
Icy but it acted most illiberal one from
the very threshold of its existence, as a
party Of trick and deception.
To censure the colored people of this
state for not jumping on to the Conserva-
tive-Republican go-cart, and occupying the
tail-board of that delectable vehicular affair,
called the walker administration, is a
piece Of complacent assurance, brazen
enough to top that of Satan in rcbuking sin.
We especially admire such an exhibition
Of assurance, but cannot condemn the
sagacity of the negro in refusing to see
how open" the Conservative party was
to "Lhe acceptance Of the one race as well
as the other.O

Tue negro at the south is at present in love
with politics and attaches so much importance
to his newly-acquired franchises that he carries
his political principles and preudces in to every
thing. If juror it is enough for him to know
that one of the parties is his political friend the
other his political opponent, in order for him to
settle the question at issue without worrying
himself about the law or evidence He is pre-
pared at once TO render partisan verdict
Wing.
This is most sweeping assertion, and
one which we believe to be entirely I'M
warranted by the facts in the case. Indeed
as we are advised by persons in the more
numerously settled tide-water counties, who
have had ample opportunities for observa-
on and have taken no small pains to
arrive at correct conclusions, that the
charge Of our contemporary is just the
reverse of the truth. AS a question of
fact, therefore, we challenge The Wing 10
60 into thorough investigation of this sub
ject. Let it commence its charges with
specifications Of well authenticated cases
and we will agree to produce half dozen
equally strong, or stronger, instances,
where negroes or Yankees have been the
victims of the prejudces Of white Vir-
ginia jury, with Virginia judges calmly
sanctoning the outrage. The negro,
doubtless, has his full share of human
falings, but his instructive sense of right
and justice is as strong as that of any
other race, not excepting the boosted one
to which the editors Of The Wing be-
long. The keen-eyed vigilance of the
Democratic press, so far as we are aware,
has not yet detected a single case of the
prejudice" to which our neighbor refers,
and which probably exists only in the fer
tile imagination of the writer.
On the other hand, we are constrained to
believe that Yankee-and as frequently O
negro-cannot receive an impartial trial at
the hands Of Virginia jury. The instances
to the contrary are too frequent and garing
to be blinked. They are the result of pre-
JUDGES so deeply-rooted that time and
education can only eradicate them. But
we hope to see their effects somewhat mol
lifted by appropriate legislation, which
may reasonably be looked for at the hands
of Republican legislature. Judges should
be required positively to concur in a YER
dict-instead of simply acquiescing therein,
and thus assume full share of the respon-
sibility.
Meanwhile we give The Wing single nut
to crack. Were there no prejudices"
mixed up in a well-known case from Prince
Edward, which occupied the attention of
the executive, the courts and the legisla-
ture last winter? And what were the
nature, character and origin thereof?

best to strike terror into their hearts by

these same Indian tribes, and compel
perpetual peace by striking their hearts
