The Musical COnyention.-Profs
Price and Jones seem to have met with
very poor encouragement in attempting
to organize musical convention in our
city, and we understand they are dis
posed to cast the blame for their fail
ure upon Mr. Philleo and Mr.. Ostran-
der. We can't speak for Mr.. Ostran-
der further than to say that he knows
his own business better than Prof.
Price, Mr.. Jones, or ourself. As for
US, We are in the same boat, and while
we would have been pleased to see the
gentlemen succeed, if worthy and COM
petent, and we do not say they are not,
we don't under any circumstances pro-
pose to neglect other and more impor-
tant duties to attend five night sing
ing school, with severe sore throat
harnessed to us, and with mud and wa
ter in our streets sufficient to guaran-
tee headstone, on short notice if
properly exposed. The fact is, the
gentlemen came in very unpropitious
time; everybody had throat ailment,
and parents were disposed to keep
their little ones in doors, fearing the
disease which has proven so terrible to
many. The days were days of wet
ness, and the evenings watersoaked
nd as cheerless as Morsue, and yet
these gentlemen are, as we understand,
offended because our people didn't see
fit to give them the broadcast encour-
agement, of whom we knew nothing,
and at time when funerals were in
order, and amusements at discount,
Prof. Price assured us that at some
future period, when things look bright,
err, he would be ready to attend the
wants of our people, and if we (our
people, want him they will probably
let him know it.

Burglary in Centralia.-Last

Thursday evening, about midnight a
crashing of glass was heard by several
persons in Centralia, but thinking moth
ing serious had occurred, or that some
saloon was enjoying fracas, but little
attention was given the matter The
morning, however, revealed the fact
that the stores Of Jos. HOMER and R.
G. Worthington had been entered
through the sash doors, and a quantity

knives, &C., &c, carried away. The
general impression was, that the act
was perpetrated by drunken indians
but subsequent disclosures fastened
suspicion upon two men, Hugh Melon
i and James Mapes, who have been
| living about here for two or three ears
past. The suspected parties were
promptly arrested, and portion of .he
goods found upon their persons, Mr..
Mapes having clothed himself with a
piece of alpaca, wrapping the same
about his breast to protect his lungs
and the alpaca Other goods were
found stored in out buildings, The
parties were examined before Justice
Hurley at the Court House and held
to bail in the sum of 5000 each. Ma

A Narrow Escape.-Last week
while John Albee, in connection with
two employees at the Clark & Scott
mill was engaged in handling the huge
balance wheel, it, in some way became
unmanagable and canted over upon Mr..
Albee catching his leg and inhicting a
severe flesh wound. Fortunately the
ponderous weight was in some way
checked or it would have crushed to a
jelly the wounded member. Two men
with handspikes were required to extri-
cate Mr.. Albee from his perilous
and suffering position. He is doing

The Raft

We learn that there are
tour gangs oflaborers at work
cleaning out the raft, amount
ing to two hundred in all. The
snag-boat is at the lower end.
at WIN. Marks, place; one
gang is at the Egypt place,
one between there and COu-
shatta bluffs and one near
Miller's bluff. Three miles of
the worst of the raft has been
gotten out at the lower end,
and two and a half miles at
MilIer's bluff. At the interme-
date stations, the river has not
been fully cleared out for any
distance, but the raft has beer
chopped up and partially re
moved, giving easy work tt
the snag boat when it reaches
these points. oa
The Lieutenant i'm chars'
thinks the work can be compile
ted by July if the waters re
main high enough. The La
borers get $40 per month wit
excellent rations.
The s23o,OOO appropriate
for this work will nearly all b
spent in Caddo and Bessie
This item of benefit alon
ought to be properly appreci;
ted by us. Again, most Of IL
laborers have been brougl
from q distance and will renal
with us as a nucleus, it
hoped, of a considerable imn

The Senate Should be Abolished.

The Senate Should be Abolished.
According to the intent of
the original makers of the
Constitution, the supreme
governmental power was di-
vided between the States and
the General government. The
States have now, to all intents
and purposes, lost their pow
er, and consequently there is
no good reason why they
should be represented in Con.
gress as sovereigns.
The 10000 people in Ne.
vada should not have the
same power in the Senate a.
the 100000 in New York
The 10000 must necessaril,
have a small Legislature
nine-tenths of the members O
which are poor, and, there
fore, more easily purchased
by a rich candidate. as ha
lately been exemplified in tn
election of Jones to the Sen
ate. Nevada should hav
three times its present popu
: lation to entitle it TO a repre-
sentative, yet it has two Ser

By the abolition of the
Senate, of course the supreme
power would be vested in the

alone. The sole objection we
have ever heard made to the
having of only one Legislative
assembly is that it would
make legislation often toe
hasty. This objection has
some force; but hastiness
, could be guarded against in
other ways than by having {

Death appears to have had a
rich harvest last year in British
India. A sort of fever, upon
which medicine has no effect,
aud which was never heard of
before, called the "new fever, "
committed great ravages
among the population. With
in a few weeks over one hun
dred people are reported to
have died in a single small
village. But fatal as this
strange disease is, it lost all
terror in comparison with the
cholera, which has ragged with
frightful violence in a number
of districts. The mortality is
still continuing, and many ma
tives begin to fear a return o
those dark days when whole
cities were almest entirely
depopulated by the plague
The Government does all j
can, but that is not much.
