GLEANINGS FROM EXCHANGES

ANOTHER TWEED RING.-Forney' Sun
day Chronicle mot Harlan's Washington
Chron;cle) publishes O statement of the
debt of the District of Columbia. The
figures reach S17,OOO,O00, and will go as
high as 1875, 600, 900 before the thief ring
can be ousted by law from their vantage
ground. A short time ago one of the in
trenched thieves, over his official sigma
ture, made the debt out below 81 900, 900,
and the assets nearly as much.
PROMINENT Republicans, says the
Truckee Republican, are seriously agi-
tating the question whether there is such
thing as an orthodox Republican party
in Nevada county. The late Republican
Convention repudated President Grant
and our Republican Senator. 1t also OPP
posed public aid for internal improve
ments and the present tariff system. 1t
has been cardinal principal of the Re
publican party to encourage the building
| of long lines of railroad by national aid,
and all the assistance given during the
last twelve years for that purpose has
! been granted by Republican votes in
Congress. The present tariff system is
entirely the result of Republican legisla-
ton. If the recent Convention which
met at the county seat speaks by author
ity, there is no such thing as Republi-
can party in Nevada county.
OUR ex.delegate, Hon. VIM. II. Clagett,
in his speech at Blackfoot, August 3, an
nouuced that he had taken his share of
the back pay; defended the action of
Congress in voting the same; said he in
tended to keep his, unless Major Magin-
mis- should refuse to take the addition to
his salary, in which case he would return
it, provided he had not spent it, but
thought it highly probable that he would
have it spent. He said the United States
Government had not lost q cent by either
the acts or influence of the Credit Mobil-
Ter company, and further, took the same
position in defence of the Congressman
who specialized in Mobilier stock as taken
by Senator Carpenter OF Wisconsin. -

The Yuma Sentinel, Arizona, of Aug.
{ 9th, says, regarding the disputed town
, site of Yuma, that San Diego county did
collect taxes from the residents on the
said strip of land, but the moment the
Yuma county authorities interfered those
of San Diego county desisted. The Con
stitution of California, under which il
: was admitted into the Union as State
q clearly defines its boundary as the center
of the Colorado river. From 1868 t.
1871 San Diego county has been collect
9 ing taxes from the inhabitants Of GU
r county, which amount to some $50, 900
Q That money can be recovered in an.
Court of jurisdiction, and we hope tn
proper authorities will take steps to re
cover the same without loss of time.
