penalty was inflicted quietly, away from
the crowd, with the newspaper reporters
rigidly excluded, with that silence which
creates awe and does not inspire sympathy
with the suddenness Of the lightning stroke,
without possibility Of mistake or buugling,
with no consciousness Of pain to the victim,

Republican Assemblymen have a little account

radical type-a Democrat and Greeleyite. The
Assembly is composed almost entirely of men
pledged to maintain Republican measures and
men yet the members chose to scout the claims
of faithful working Republicans at the late
election, and elect a Democrat.

A Few Words Personally.

For business reasons, the undersigned finds it
advisable to change his main base of operations
from Hamilton to Salt Lake City. This change
involves the necessity of being in person present
on the larger field, to initiate a new enterprise,
further notice of which will in due time appear
in these columns. 1 leave considerable interests
and property in Hamilton, beside the bushes
of The News and it is well enough to explain
to the public as following My business affairs
in this State, of whatever nature, are left in
charge of Geo. W. Rutherford, with full power
and authority to act for me and the editorial
conduct of The News will be in competent
hands, supplemented by occasional contribu-
lions from Zion after I have got settled there. 1
regret the necessity which oompels this change,
after having got fixed so nicely for a larger bust
ness in the old camp but the craft seems at
present to be mud bound, and every fellow must
swim for himself.
Business interests and friendly inclination
being certain to attract me here occasionally, 1
will bid you no good-byes now, but some sun
nier time will hail you all Good morrow I

The POSTAL TELEGRAPH SYSTEM, as es-
tablished in England and other European
countries, is growing in favor with the
people of the United States. The Post
master General recommends the purchase
of the telegraph lines and their incorpor-
alton with the postal system. President
Grant, in his message, We thought let
the proposition off rather lightly but
seems not averse to the plan. Congress
has not spoken on the subject. We see
no necessity for the long time for con-
sideration suggested by the President.
1t has been under discussion for years,
and every Congressman does or can in a
few minutes reflection comprehend fully
the effects to result from the change.
We are glad to see that the business
men of San Francisco are p%etitioning
Congress to take action for the adoption
of the new system. Petitions ought to
be circulated and signed all over the
Country. A cotem, speaking on the
subject, says that 'since the English
Government took the control of the tele-
graph lines in Great Britain, the cost of
transmitting messages has decreased
very much, while at the same time it
leaves a small profit to the Government.
The postal telegraph should be under
the management of Congress, as is the
Postofice. AS it has worked SO well in
England, in all probability the same sys-
tenn will soon be adopted here

The Goat Island Buqaboo.

The Goat Island BuJabo0.
The reading community is familiar with the
leading facts in the Goat Island controversy,
now working up to its second boiling under the
management of spectators and a portion of the
San Francisco Press. Goat Island is of no use
as It stands neither to the Government for
military purposes, nor to San Francisco for any
purpose. 1t is an idle. isolated part of the
public domain. lying in the direct way of the
greatest thoroughfare in all the land. The man.
ayers of hat thoroughfare propose to take from
the Government a i%ease-not, as represented by
some. a cession. of a portion, not, as intimated,
the whole. of that ~unoccupied, untitled island;
to extend their railroad line over the shoal
water to connect the island with all the great
freight and passenger lines Of the Country-to
there establish their depots and shops at this
terminus, extending to this point the reserved
rights of Government transportation to keep
clear of all grounds required for military uses,
and by establishing these facilities to make the
island available and valuable as a point of de-
Tense when required. This is the case, in brief.
No sooner is the plan laid openly before Con-
gress for consideration, than a chiInerical plan
is cooked up for another oakland the pro-
JeCIOTs VI the IlNdl TOdu luItTtel ulilbit-tonButu
orators and facile-minded editors, and a warefare
is opened upon the plan to utilize Goat Island.
The secret is this If the Central Railroad
should be allowed the use Of Goat Island for a
terminus and aepots, a lot of spectators who
are now fattening by wharf charges upon the
trade of the interior and the seas would see
their revenues cut down and, further, the
Central Pacific would. under such an arrange
ment, become so great a public convenience
such an accommodation to the trade of interior
California and the Pacific Coast generally-that
the dreaming projectors of invisible rival lines
would not be able to coax money out of satisfied
communities to help break down the. Central

which rankles in the hearts of these people who

A Poker Problem.
w received yesterday the following letter
from Belmont

we recelNeu yesterday the iolio"ihB ietVer
frcm Belmont
BELMONT, Dec. 80, 70.
EDS. REvEILLE There has been
discussion over a poker game played here last
night and we want your decision upon the fol
lowing point, viz
A., b. and C. play poker. A. deals b. goes
S1.50 blind c. passes out A. straddles BIS
blind, then b. straddles A. How much docs 1t
take B.. to straddle A. s straddle.
Our correspondent has struck our strong suit,
for if there is anything we are all fait upon. it is
poker, at which noble and national game we win
upon an average from ten to fifteen Thousand
dollars every year but lose it all publishing The
Reveille and doing business for the county. We
are however unable to decide the point above
mentioned, from the fact that it is anomalous to
legitimate poker, as no player has the right to
go blind or straddle after the cards are
dealt. which must have been the case in the
above instance, as G. is represented as having
passed out before A. made his play, conse-
quently no decision can be rendered., based upon
the rules of the game, and were we to decide the
question, il would have to be in accordance with
the general custom, which upon the Pacific
Coast is, that b. would have to put up six dol
lars including the dollar and a half already up,
or four dollars and a half exclusive of the orig
inal blind. We are convinced however. that the
custom is wrong, and that b. should be Obliged
TO put up six dollars, or double the amount of
AS straddle, independent of the original bet.
The sporting fraternity here are about equally
divided on the question, but all agree that no
decision can be rendered upon the above propo-
sition.
P. S.-Several letters containing questions
pertaining to scriptural history will have to lay
over until our next issue.
The above we find in Thu Reese River Reveille,
I'd. Brother Dennis must find a soft game, to
do any such business as he says he does-with
so little knowledge of the game. He is wrong
in every particular. Thus C. being first in say,
and passing out. it is entirely legitimate for A.,
not having looked at his hand, to straddle-with
50 then it is legitimate. also, for B., who is to
be supposed not to have looked at his hand, to
straddle A. s straddle but. as the case has now
come to a close, the pot must be made square,
and he must put up $3.50. instead of S6-sl.5O
to make good his original blind. and Sc to see
AS straddle. Then. A. putting up 50 to make
his straddle good, the play commences by B,
calling what number of cards he wants. And
those people curious about scriptural matters
sent their inquiries to the wrong shop we never
lay queries on that subject over it s our best
hold,
