UycALLEp FoR.-The recent exposi-
ton, so-called, in regard to the lately
elected Senator Mitchell from Oregon, in
which it is set forth that some i%rregulari-
ties existed in the gentleman's life before
his election, seems uncalled for and
in bad taste. Who is there among us
that is without sin? We read a dispatch
in that scandal loving journal, the San
Francisco Chronicle, which AYERS that the
above named Senator married his present
wife before being divorced from the one
in Pennsylvania. Under the signatures
of Simeon Cameron, and other distin-
guished Pennsylvanians, we are told that
the accused bore and still bears a good
reputation in his native State, and that
nothing against his character is known
even among his most intimate friends.
Is it not enough, in all conscience sake,
for a mans public character, which, it is
claimed, belongs to the people, to be
criticised and made public talk Of, with
out dragging in the history Of his private
affairs, of which no one can judge i'm
partially but the man accused. Have
done with this sort Of abuse, gentlemen
of the press, and allow matters which do
not concern you to rest in peace.

PRIZE FIoHr FIzzLE.-Papers in the
Western portion of the State have been
filed lately with accounts of the coming
pugilistic encounter between two human
brutes, named Trevillian and Hogan.
On the day appointed the two future
candidates for the gallows or State
Prison, while awaiting the signal to COM
mence beating each other were IN
terrupted in their little amusement by
the appearance Of a deputy sheriff who
drove the would-be fighters from the
ring. We wish such exhibitions could be
made the subject of Legislative actions,
and that participants in the brutal work
as well as the spectators who go as wit
nesses, would be sent to the penitentiary
and made to break stone or do some
other hard work. The "manly art Of
self-defence'' is getting played OUT
and the sooner a stop is put to it, the
better.

GOLD Discovery AT CALIsTooA.-The
Calistoga (Cal.,) Tribune gives glowing
accounts of the discovery near that place
of a regular ledge of gold and silver bear
ing quartz. 1t is reported to be located
on the farm of Josiah Hasbrouck, and
has attracted some five hundred visitors
already to inspect it, among others Hon.
j. P. Jones, OF Nevada. Assays made at
the California Refinery show a result of
$40 in gold and silver, and from one
place, where a tnnnel has been run into
the solid rock a distance Of ten feet, as
says as highas 1926 per ton have been OBJ
tanned. The ledge can be traced a dis
lance of six or seven miles and has all
been located. The discoveries and To-
Gators of this new mountain of wealth
are said to be Richard Swift and John
Evans, Of Calistoga, and Col C. S. Bulcke,
ly, Alex. Redlaw Jr. and j. L. Sanford,
of San Francisco. They are lucky
hombres, il the indications prove such q
mine as anticipated.

THE BENDER FAMILY.-for weeks the
press of the country has been filled with
accounts of the horrible atrocities Of the
Bender family. The police authorities
have forwarded to different sections of
the country complete descriptions Of the
various members OF the blood-thirsty
family, in which Katie Bender is put
down as being a she devil, aged about
twenty-one years, yellow complexion and
sharp features, with a countenance re-
sembling that of a wolf. All the girls,
who used to know her, said she had a
"wolfsh face" Rumors come to us of
the probable capture of some members
of this family of fiends, but nothing
reliable has, as yet, been heard from
them 1t is certainly the earnest wish of
all people that the whole tribe may be
captured and receive their just deserts
without the interference of the law.

A NEW ORGANIZATION.

For the last five years an organization
called The Patrons Of Husbandry' has
existed in many of the Northern and
Middle States, having for its ostensible
object the furthcrance of the business of
farming and agriculture among its in
dividual members. 1t is a secret organ
~ization, conducted somewhat on the same
plan as the Masonic and other Orders,
and consisting of three oranges, or
lodges called respectively Subordinate
Grange, State Grange and National
Grange, The first is divided into three
degrees, the second one degree, called
Pomona, meaning Hope, and the third
two degrees, Flora, meaning Charity, and
Earth. Both sexes are admitted to the
order and are eligible to all the degrees,
but a distinction is made in the fair sex,
they being allowed to attain all the Off
Ger, while there are three not accessible
to men. 1t is surmised that the real
purpose of the organization is opposition
to railroad %monopolies and a higher
scale OF prices for labor OF farms, in fact
a labor union among farmers. Women
suffrage also forms a distinctive and
large feature in the programme. This
organization, If holdingthe power claimed
by it, will undoubtedly have a strong
and controlling influence on the Legis-
latures of many States and cause laws to
be enacted looking solely to the benefit
OF agriculturists to the exclusion of every
thing foreign to that industry. 1t is a
matter of grave doubt whether such
secret societies, SO exclusive in their
character, will be beneficial to the coun-
try wherein they exist, and whether or
not the dissemination Of the theories on
which they are founded will not u
disturbances among other classes, and
eventually react upon the members them
selves. We believe that the laws govern
ing all classes Of trades are good enough
as they are, and that special legislation
of this kind will not make matters better, |
but, on the contrary, be productive of
much trouble.

RoMANT1c.-The way the Frenchmen
describe American fashions is certainly
refreshing, not to say amusing. A French
newspaper coolly tells how q Cincinnati
merchant and a Chicago banker got into
a difficulty and concluded to settle it by
an appeal to the code duello. They met,
but some business trouble existing in
regard to the foreign business affairs of
the party of the first part, they agreed to
go together and arrange the matter, then
finish the little affair of honor afterward.
In the gravest manner the Frenchman
relates how they travelled together for a
period Of two years, during which time
they came to love each other as brothers.
but, on their return, carried out the
original terms of their agreement and
fought a duel with rifles, both being NOR
tally wounded. what a simple creature

eminent funds have been rife for some
time against that Christian General,

gentleman very ingeniously tries to de-
fend himself in a recently published ar
ticle in which he says the sum Of three or
four thousand dollars, represented as
short in the disbursing officers account
was unavoidable. We presume that
other thousands found short we're tuna

THE White Pine NEWS says 1t Is no longer
doubtful about the erection Of a new saw-mill
by the English company on the site formerly &C.
eupied by the international mill.
This effusion is from the Virginia
Chronicle of the 10th instant. By refer
ring to the News, from which the item
was clipped, it will be seen that we mem
toned the fact that a new mill (meaning
quartz mill) would be erected on the site
of the old International. Whatever
could induce the "pen and scissor"
mar to make this blunder it is impossible
for us to tell, as there is not a stick of
wood left in this vicinity large enough to
make a tooth-pick. Only a short time
ago the same paper, in copying one of
items, made Assessor Tim Cranley
an escaped murderer. Please copy items
rs written. Mr.. Chronicle, and oblige.

LIQUOR ORDINANCE AT SALT LAKE.
Chief Justice Mexican has decided that
the late exorbitant rate of taxation
placed upon liquor dealers of Salt Lake

all law. Consequently Brigham must

ton from the vendors of sheep herder's
delight, and await the meeting Of the
Territorial Legislature before proceeding
further in the premises.

THE WALwoRTH MURDER.-Through-
out the United States, and particularly
near the scene of the late diabolical muir
der of a father by a son, the press are
united in condemning the cold-blooded,
merciless murder of Tracy Walworth,
which occurred recently in New York.
As a deliberate act of butchery, this crime
stands unequalled in the annals of his
tory, and even the bloodiest of all the
"blood and thunder" writer's of yellow
covered literature fail to give a parallel
of such an atrocious murder.

California since the organization of that
institution, rendered his resignation to
take effect on the 18th of July next.
The retiring President has filled this re-
sponsible position with honor to himself
and to the entiresatisfaction of all part
les. and his loss from the management
will be severely felt. He is known as a
man Of strict integrity and most com
plete honesty, and has made hosts of
friends by his impartial manner of deal
ing with the public.
