TELKoRAPHIo.

1t has been charged that the West
ern Union Telegraph Company have
declared that they would discriminate
In their rates Of charges for press mat
ter against those newspapers which
favor the postal telegraph project.
This certainly would be poor policy on
the part Of the Western Union, In view
Of the fact that 1t has not the whole
field to itself, besides which such nc
ton could be easily defeated BY com-
bination of the press against It, as the
majority Of newspapers like the News,
have already declared their opinions
In favor Of the postal telegraph. But
the Western Union has made no such
statement. Their quarrel with the
Alta Is no new matter, but merely a
financial one-a dispute Of telegraph
bills-the Alta protesting that the COM
pany's account was incorrect. and
therefore refusing Or n~eglecting to
pay. The company, In reply. declare
their bill to be just and that unless
paid they will not furnish any more
dispatches to the Alta. As to the true
merits Of the affair, we are not posted
any further than we have remarked.
It Is their fight and not ours. As we
said before, however, We favor the
postal telegraph, like the majority of
the press and the people.

We clip the following relative to a
mine which Is deservedly coming into
prominence, from the San Francisco
Akd:
A contract has been let to sink the
SHAFT from Its present depth to 160 feet.
The surprising developments thus far
made. ut q point so adjacent to the
Gould 6 Curry and Savage mines, from
which 1t Ia situated several hundred
yards, In an easterly direction, are ex-
citing general attention among mining
experts. The location was made In
1864, but the lecators not s%uspecting
the quality Of the mine, 1t was only
last year that parties with means, hav-
ing become Interested, continued Its
development. As the sinking pro.
crosses, the specimens from the several
feeders Of the main vein have been re.
peatedly assayed by D. w. Balch OF
Virginia, to whose surprise, rs well rs
that of the p%roprietors, the results
show from $500 to $4,000 per ton,
rising In riches as the depth increases.
| The ledge has been found, crossing the
shaft diagonally at about 80 feet from
the surface. A box OF ore recently
shipped from the mine yielded upward
Of 81, 500 per ton, worked by MILL pro-
cess. A marked feature Of the ore
Is that the proportion OF gold to
slyer, which a few months ago was
largely In favor Of the former, Is now
giving place to the latter, rs, 1t will be
remembered, was the case with the
first discoveries at Gold Hill, In 1853.
In the present instance, each assay
shows an increasing predomlnanoe OF
silver. The mine Is stocked at $5.0O0,-
600. aud no doubt will SOC be in the
market at bedrock price. This, We be-
lieve, Is the first discovery that has
been made of a distinct vein east OF,
and In proximity to, the Comstock,
aud gives encouragement for further
prospecting enterprise In that direo-
ton. Tho office OF the Company is In

EXEMPTION FROM JURY DUTY

The various companies Of the Gold
Hill Fire Department are called upon
by Chief Jones to assemble at their re-
spcctive houses ~thissvsning to discuss
and take action relative to a bill now
before the Legislature at Carson, In
tended to deprive firemen Of their
privileged exemption FROM doing jury
duty. 1t Is true that the privilege has
been, to a considerable extent abused,
yet 1t has been mainly beneficial and
most effective In keeping up the Fire
Department Organization. 1t Is true
the privilege Is subject to continual
abuse, as for instance where men who
should do jury duty join a fire compa-
ny merely to avoid that duty, yet arc
neither active firemen or disposed to
either do duty, pay their dues, or even
attend meetings as such. The proper
ton Of these Sinking individuals Is,
however. comparatively few, and the
abuse could be easily remedied by the
law providing that the President or
Foreman Of each company be obliged
to render a sworn statement monthly
or quarterly, giving a true list of the
active paying members, each company
on their part attending faithfully to
this matter, and rigidly wedding out
all these Sinking drones. Thus the
law could be made to operate even
more beneticially to the Department
than It does now. The number Of the
companies and members should be, aud
we believe Is limited by law. How
much Of a hardship It would be to re-
move this exemption, Is not p~articu-
larly clear to us, but II such removal
would work detrimentally to the In
terests Of the Fire Department. unless
corresponding benefit was attained as
q compromising result, it were better
to let 1t remain. The question Is open
for discussion, aud tho members Of the
Fire Department should give full at
tendance to their meetings this even

IT Is said that there will be a combi-
nation OF the different telegraphlc COM
panies antagonistic to the Western
Union, BY which these lines will be
consolidated. The New York Times
states that committees from different
lines In various parts Of the country
have been In secret session In that city
for several days, and It Is announced
on good authority that the consolida-
ton Is nearly completed. The first
move Of the combination will be to
adopt lower rates, and establish an
active competition with the Western
Union Company. As the combination
Is extensive, including nearly all the
lines In the country, the rivalry will
probably be very active. 1t Is said that
the Executive Committee Of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company have
made preparations to meet the contin-
gency, having authorized Mr.. orion to
lower the ratio for messages through
out the country.

Men we're bought and sold In droves
just like sheep. They formed them
selves into clubs for that very purpose.

Truckss Items.

From the Truckee Republican. Jan. 81
The experiment of running Ice
through a f1ume for a distance of three
miles wastrled here yesterday In Schaf-
fer's lumber fume. The Ice when
started was In blocks eleven Inches In
thickness. When 1t arrived at the
mouth OF the flume 1t was about three
inches thick. The experiment Is not a
success. The friction Of the Ice on the
sides Of the flume In floating down
wears 1t out-not the flume, but the Ice.
We are informed that q company
possessing abundant means are making
arrangements to erect In Truckee next
Spring one Of the largest single mills
ON the coast, capable Of turning out
100. 900 shingles per day. Connected
with the shlngle mill they will also
have planning machines and will en-
gage extensively in dressing and pre-

IISao2' AND rH oE1HAH
EMPEROR.

As many Of our readers are not con-
versant with the cause Of the want Of
cordlality between these two gentle
men, we purpose In q few words to
give some Of tho reasons which have
induced the arrangement. Bismarck,
though 4 prince and an aristocrat, has
q brain Of such comprehensive grasp
and breadth that be recognizes the Inn
portance Of conciliating the middle
classes, feeling that In q country like
Germany, where education Is 30 gen.
orally diffused, that no Government
can rest securely without the good will
and aid Of the middle and lower
classes. Tho mobiles, the aristocrats Of
Germany, cling with great tenacity to
their prerogatives, and are very much
adverse to conceding any privileges to
those whom they consider their lnfe-
riors. The Emperor, DESTROYS of re-
taining the love Of the mobiles for his
person, aside from his firm belief In
divine rights Of kings, and his faith
that the present power and greatness
Of Germany are owing to God, Instead
Of to Bismarck, Won Moltke and the
bravery and discipline Of the German
troops, was unwilling to incur their
sumlty by supporting. Bismarck In his
liberal measures. He probably felt
that to Bismarck the world attributed
his greatness, aud naturally felt hu.
inflated at the thought Of his mental
inferiority to the great statesman. Pc.
tentates are but men, and have the
same feelings Of jealousy and Ill will
that ordinary men have have toward a
person whom the world recognizes as
their superior.
The Emperor Is doubtless sincerely
religious, and fully believes that Ger.
man unity and greatness are to be
attributed to the Almighty; but the
great masses of the Germans contend
that Bismarck, Won Moltke and the
soldiers should have the entire credit
of making Germany the great power
which she Is to-day. The Germans are
close thinkers, and do not believe In
the dogma Of divine rights any more
than they do In the in~fallibility Of the
Pope. P%roverbially 4 thinking and
reflective people, the Germans take
nothing on credit. They put every
thing to the test Of the closest exam.
nation, and II it will stand it. they
believe in it-not otherwise. They
hate shams Of all kinds, and no people
are more practical, or have more com
mon sense, than the Germans.
