RICHMOND, August 4th, 1874.


Hon. Charles H. Porter:
Dear Sir:-I am at no loss to answer your
letter OF the lst instant which | find on
reaching here this evening.
The law defines how juries in the courts
of the United States shall be summoned.
1t would be u gross breach Of duty on the
part Of the Marshal to summon jurieS from
party predilection l would not so reflect
upon that officer as to suppose that he would
summon partisan juries for the trial of any
offences, much less offences connected with
the elections.
Although the court takes no cognizance
of politics, yet, if q jury wholly OF one
party were found to be summoned, and the
fact were made known to the court
whether the result were to come by acct
dent or design-I can speak for myself,
and am sure can for the Circuit Judge
and the Chief Justice, and say, that such
IL jury would not be allowed TO try case
in the Circuit Court Of the United States
for this district
[ am, very respectfully, your obedient
servant, ROBERT w. HUGHES.
Judges Hughes does himself great credit
in taking this stand against partisan
malice and resentment, and the friends OF
the gentlemen who stand charged with tn"
serious offence of violating the United
States statute will feel easier since the de-
feat is known of the carpet-bag, custom
house conspiracy to pack the jury.
THE New MILITARY SLAVERY AT THE
SOUTH.
Attorney General Williams has issued
another circular, this time to U. S. Mar
shals i'll the South, suggesting that at
points where United States troops may b.
stationed, deputy marshals be appointed
with power to use the troops if necessary
to make arrests. The ostensible reason for
this order is that when the Marshal is at
II distance, before he can be communicated
with and the troops set Ill motion, the Of
tenders may escape. The order says that
1T is important that this order should be
delegated to none but careful and respon-
sible persons The Baltimore '!Ameri-
can" Republican, says "A few political
adventures with power to use the troops
to arrest such parties whom they may deem
forcement act, could do a great deal OF
mischief" The first case of a Republican
caucus selecting men for rrest is given in
u telegram of last Saturday from Mont
gomery, Alabama, as follows:
Deputy United States Marshals Ran
dolph and Milford reached this city this
afternoon with four prisoners white mem
handcutfed and chained together, arrested
in Sumter county Oh the charge of killing
w. B. Billings on the LIST of August last.
lnasmuch as a rumor was current here two
days ago that the Republican caucus in
this city had resolved to have nine men in
Sumter arrested, it is The general opinion
that the arrests were made for political
effect. Sumter county, is one hundre0 miles
west Of this. The prisoners are to be taken
to Mobile Monday.

wATER.SPOUT AT CARSON!

A water-spout broke yesterday
afternoon, in Kings Canon, near
Carson City, sending large flood of
water down the caiion, carrying
with it rocks, timber, ETC., and
partly turned the toll house
around; doing considerable dam
age to the ranches in the vicin-
ity, and creating quite panic.
1t commenced raining at about $3.50
p. NJ, and kept it up with great vio-
lence for over an hour, with thunder
and lightning. The operator at Car
son says that it looks like the storm
would continue during the night.

flashed necessarily !; rain poured
down in torrents, making a scene
grand beyond description. 1t was
such a heavy rainfall, that within
two minutes from its commence

CARSON LETTER.

CARSON, July 81, 1874.
EDITOR TIMES The qotid nUacs are circu-
lating mysterious reports about town to-day,
respecting certain proceedings had at the
mint yesterday. What it amounts to seems
to be this: Certain enemies of the Superin-
tendent have reported to the Director of the
MINIS, at Washington, that he 1.-THE superin-
tendent) was guilty of certain acts not per-
mitted in the decalogue and quarreling with
his executive officers, etc, etc, and asking
that these charges be investigated.
The Director, thinking, perhaps, as SO
many communications had been sent him
making these charges, there might be some
foundation for them, delegated special
agent who was in San Francisco upon
look into matters.
The examination come off, as / learn, and
resulted in the discharge of the Coiner's
clerk and Mcconnell, and the advising of one
or two others to hand in their designations:
and the charges against the Superintendent
We're regarded as frivolous, and so treated.
Now that this matter has been settled, 1t is
hoped we shall hear nothing further of insub-
and fighting among the employees. There
were a few who hoped the investigation would
result in the removal of the Superintendent,
in which event warm gossip had the follow
ing named selected to succeed, viz: Senator
Lockwood, j. R. Winters, j. IL. Mills, W.
Hopkins present Assayer), William Henry
Doane present Coincrl, Mr.. Davis tthe agent
sent to investigate, clerk in the Treasury
Department, Washington, Win. Ii. Stevens,
Meters and Refiner's clerk, and Deacon Rice,
of Wells, Fargo X Co. The latter was super
intendent until July LIST of lastyear, and con-
Quoted the affairs with prudence and econ
omy. Many hoped he would have retained
the position, but he was not friendly to the
powers that be. viz; the present Junior Sen
ator, SO had to vacate.
There is nothing new in the political
world. Billy Sharon is here, and thinks ii is
well with him. Pecuniarily, presume II is,
politically. Well he don't know how it is,
really he relies too muchnpon the assertions
of few old dried up political fossils.

SINGULAR PHENoMENoN.-Ag gen
tleman from Washoe Valley informs
us, says the Enterprise, that during
the past week the fish in Washoe
Lake have nearly all, if not all,
died. On the eastern shore of the
lake is to be seen regular windrow
nearly a mile in length of dead fish.
They are of all sizes, from the small
est minnow to fish over foot in
length. Far out over the waters of
the lake the fish are seen floating
belly up. Already great stencil
arises from those that have been
driven ashore on the eastern shore
of the lake by the prevailing south
west winds. The lake is fully three
feet higher than it was az this time
last year, and its waters never
looked brighter or purer. No mills
about the lake are running tailings
or chemicals into it, nor can
anything unusual or deleterious
be, discovered in or about it. 1t is
supposed that all the fish in the lake
are dead, as the pelicans, gulls and
other fish-eating fowls which have
abounded thereabout, have suddenly
left. Day before yesterday not a
!. pelican or gull remained on or about
the lake. The only explapation adj
vanced by any Of the settlers is that
there has been ain eruption of some
kind of deleterious gas from the
bottom of the lake.

SUTRo IN SAN FRANCIsCo.-On
Thursday, Adolph Sutro had large
audience at Mercantile Library Hall,
says the Call, to hear his lecture
upon Mines and Mining. 1t is not
too much to state that his remarks
were enthusiastically received. The
calcium light illustrations were an
enjoyable and interesting feature of
the lecture, and served to make
plain the various operations of
mining to those not conversant with
the subject. The picture of Sharon's
woodpile and his crooked railway
sent the audience into commissions
of laughter. Quartz mining was
first inaugurated in this State with
the discovery of the Comstock Lode
in 1859. This famous lode is situat-
ed east of Mount Davidson, which
rises to an elevation of $500 feet
above the level OF the sea, and 5000
feet above Carson valley. Some
years ago the Sutro Tunnel was
started from the foothills to strike
the Comstock lode at a depth of
1000 feet. The object was to run
the tunnel so as to tap all the mines
in the Comstock lode, and form a
new base from which shafts could
be sunk still deeper. The company
have built four shafts, the second of
which the tunnel has reached.
When completed it will go 5000 I'M
der the summit of Mount Davidson.
The advantages which he claims for
the tunnel are manifold. The ore
can be carried to the mills through
the tunnel for Is cents per ton, in
stead of So, the present rate, and can
be milled for So, instead of Sl3. Mr..
Sutro illustrated, by aid of humor-
Gus caricatures on the white screen,
how mining is conducted on Califor-
mia street, and how stockholders are
swindled out of their money by
trustees, who are the tools of the
ring. The lecturer spoke for two
hours and a quarter, and every
period of biting sarcasm or humor-
Gus satire was marked by a round
of yociferous applause.
