THOMAS MCGEoRGE, editor of the Cal.
istoga Tribune, whose death was an
nounced recently, was an old member of
the journalistic profession. Mr.. Nc
George was native of Brooklyn, New
York, and about AZ years of age. In
early life he went on number of voyages
before the mast, and was good sailor
He learned the printing business in ew
York, and was master of his trade. In
lS49 he started from New York for Cali
fornia as first officer Of the schooner
Providence. On arriving here he aban-
doned the sea and went to work as a
compostor on one of the pioneer papers.
Since that time he has been generally
employed on newspapers as compositor
or reporter, though he varied this occu-
patton by engaging in other employ
ments on various occasions. He was at
one time one of the owners of the Faral-
lon Islands, and was engaged in the
Farallon egg speculation. After aban.
doning this experiment, he pub.
lished paper ut Benicia, aud
subsequently went to the Sandwich
Islands, where he was engaged in the
publication of q paper with J. J. Ayres
He afterwards returned to this city, made
trip as mate Of vessel bound for
Australia, and finally came back to this
coast to stay. Some years ago he
established the Calistoga Tribune, and
continued as publisher and editor of that
paper to the time of his death. He was
member of the Pioneer Association.
Mr.. McGeorge had been in poor health
for some time past.-[S. F. Chronicle.

The ABsooNpING YOUNG MAN.-Allusion
was made yesterday to the arrest in this
city of young man from San Francisco
by detective. We have been able to
gather more information regarding the
circumstances which led to his detection.
He was in the employ of banking insti-
tuition and enjoyed the confidence of all
with whom he had any personal or bust
ness relations. His salary was moderate.
He was engaged to be married to re-
spectacle young lady, but her parents
being opposed to their union on account
of his attenuated means, he yielded to q
feeling of dependency and embraced q ca
reer of vice, although he succeeded for q
time in concealing his derelictions from
his employers. An examination of his
accounts revealed the painful fact that he
had embezzled q considerable sum of
money, and it was further discovered
that he had been regular visitor at the
gambling dens of the city. When he
discovered that he could no longer dis.
guise the truth, he fed from the city and
arrived here yesterday morning. On the
way he suspected that he was followed by
aperson whose green goggles were intent
ly fixed upon him. When he arrived
here, before the cars had stopped, in try.
ing to elude the vigilance Of the detec-
tive, he jumped off the train and hastened
up town, where he was arrested. Last
night he was taken back Ogden juno.

The first elections by authority of law
for Catholic Priests in Switzerland, have
been held quietly. This method of
choosing clergymen is novelty, at least
in modern times, and of course those
voters who recognize the superior au-
thority of the Pope in ecclesiastical
affairs. do not participate. The newly
elected Curates are all old Catholics, re.
jecting the doctrines of Infallibility and
Ultramontanism. The Governments of
Germany and Switzerland favor the old
Catholic movement, and large number
of Catholics have taken part in it; but
its permanence and extent cannot now

AN Ex-Governor INDICTED Yester-
day afternoon. as we learn from gen.
tleman from Lincoln, the Grand Jury of
the Lancaster county District Court, in
session at that city, presented an indict-
ment against Ex-Governor James, charg.
ing him with the embezzlement of three
thousand dollars Of the public moneys
while he was acting as Governor of the
State of Nebraska. The money alleged
to have been appropriated by ex-Gov.
ernor James was that which he received
from the United States Government on
account of the Indian claims of this State
collected by Pat. O'Hswes; and also
money received by him from the sale of
the stone Of the Insane Asylum, which
was destroyed by FIRE. Nebraska thus
far has rather mixed gubernatorial
record. The first Governor was i'm
peached, and the second has been in
dicted for embezzlement. We learn
that on account of Saline County Court
being held shortly, and the United States
Court at Omaha, the Lancaster County
Court was adjourned by request of the
Lincoln bar, to next January Il Omaha

A NOBEL THANKSGIVING PROCLAIM.
TIoN.-Following is the Thanksgiving
Proclamation of Governor Furnas, of
Nebraska. just as it appears in one of
the papers of that State:
In conformity with a proclamation of
the President Of the United States, and
in keeping with time-honored custom,
and as a recognition of dependence upon
Him who dispenses bounties and mer-
cies Divine-"He who deals bread to the
hungry, and brings the poor, that are
cast out, to His house." l recommend
that Thursday, Nov. 81, next, be OBJ
served as day of thanksgiving and
prayer; that as far as practicable, the
people of this State abstain from their
usual business pursuits, and, meeting at
the customary places of worship, or in
private, they unitedly join in grateful
and humble thanks and acknowledge
ments to Almighty God for blessings and
protection vouchsafed, and offer suppli-
cations for their continuance.
A Donivan county, Kansas, preacher

In testimony whereof, have hereunto
set my hand, and caused to be affixed

The Ute delegation has returned to
Denver from its visit to Washington,
satisfied with the arrangements in regard
to the San Juan treaty. Chief Ouray
was anxious to have half Of the Govern
ment annuity of $25, 900 paid in cash
and deposited in the National Bank at
Denver. This was refused, but it was
promised that the Indians should have
the privilege of ordering such goods as
they desired. This is a great improve.
ment over the old system of leaving
everything to the decision Of agents. By
the request of Ouray a military post will
be established between the mining dis
tricts and the reservation, as check
upon evil-disposed miners and Indians,
and the land coded will be surveyed SO
as to definitely settle ito extent and avoid
trouble in the future from encroach-
ments on either hand. The result Of the
visit, and the conclusion of the details Of
the treaty were mutually satisfactory,
and the Government may congratulate
itself upon having 20 easily settled what
not long since promised to be serious
complication.-[Salt Lake Herald, Nov.

MINING BUREAU AND GOVERN
MENT SCHOOLS OF MINING.

On the first page OF to-day's paper We
publish some valuable suggestions
couched in the form of memorial to
Congress. for action this Winter, and
which are submitted to the consideration
Of all interested in mining pursuits, in
the hope thai the matter may be taken
up in every mining State and Territory
in the United States and made the sub-
iect of q joint petition the ensuing ses-
sion. 1t is undeniably true, says the
Utah Mining Gazette, that hitherto, the
Government has not bestowed that fos-
tering care. nor extended that help to
the mining industries of the Western
country, which their present and pros
pective importance warrants, and which
the subject of an increased ore and
bullion production, from national point
of view, demands. In these particulars
we are far behind many Of the European
countries, where capital and labor en-
gagged in such pursuits is directed solely
by scientific methods really the out
growth Of, and largely attributable to the
aid and patronage extended by the Gov
ernments of those countries. 1t is be-
coming quite obvious now that disas.
irons commercial reaction has set in,
that something must be done to revolu.
tionize our system of finance, and to cor
rect the evils of balance of trade against
US. Equally obvious with this is the ne
cessity for increasing our exports, and
the only direction in which the country
can look for permanent relief and thor
ough emancipation from present Difficult
ties is the one leading to an increased
production OF our precious metals; our
exports of raw material and manufactured
goods having proven inadequate to keep
up a healthy state of commerce with for
eign countries. This statement is testi.
fed to by the commercial press of the
country, and while many writers are
zealously advocating new plans and dis
cussing old ones to mitigate existing
troubles, but few strike at the root of
the difficulty and allude TO the import
ance of creating a greater revenue by
increasing the yield of our precious
metals. To illustrate the national i'm
portance of this, We have only to call
attention to the magnitude OF the vie Id
OF California and Nevada, during the
past twenty-three or twenty-tour years,
and ask to what extent has this enor.
nous yield contributed to the commerce
of the United States during that period
The Gazette says "the memorial was pre-.
pared by an Eastern gentleman, Just re.
turned from European tour, q gentle.
man not only conversant with the fnan.
clal condition of the country, but who
has witnessed the great benefits accruinl
to those foreign nations whose govern
ments have encouraged and fostered
their leading industries. The memorial
it will be observed, is not framed in tn
interest of any one Of the mineral pro
ducing States Or Territories, but for tn,
benefit of all we therefore ask the coop
Grafton of all, to the end that Congress
may not be petitioned in vain, and inyit,
the press Of the country to agitate tn,
subject freely"

The general impression in France
about the 3azine trial is, that the Mar
shals case has not been we'll managed
in the examination, and that he COM
mitted a serious political offense in con-
sidsring himself rather as the friend of
Napoleon than as servant of his coun-
try. The feeling in official circles is
more unfriendly than among intelligent
civilians, and the Court may interpret
as reasonable actions which in England
and France are regarded rather as errors
OF judgment, or prejudice.
