San Francisco, March 29.-Farley s
bill for State Board of Transportation
Commissioners passed the Senate last
night.
SAN Francisco, March 30.-The Ari-
IONA and Orizaba, with the Colima in
tow, are entering the harbor.
LATER.-The Colima is at the dock all
we'll. Captain Hudson, Of the Col,ms
reports that at the time the steamer broke
her propeller she was running under a
light wind, with quite heavy sea. The
cause of the accident is unknown. He
attempted to continue the voyage with
one blade and under sail, but found it
impossible to do SO. He finally put into
Cerros Island, where he found good
anchorage. One boat sent north was
picked up by the Montana, another sen,
south intercepted the Arizona, which
proceeded to the relief OF the Colima
The passengers and crew caught large
quantities of fish at anchorage, which
we're very acceptable, Us the supply Of
fresh provisions was short. The Colima
called at Cape St. Lucas, but as small
pox prevailed there, declined to take pas
sengers on board The Colima will b.
held for repairs. .e..s

STILL ANOTHER now comes to
the front still another aequisitive youth,
one N. G. Comstock, who has shown
great enterprise in somewhat peculiar
department Of art From the Washing
ton letter of the St. Louis Republican,
we learn: During the closing hours of
the last session, a bill was crammed
through Congress for the avowed pur-
pose of preventing the transmission of
obscene literature, and comforting upon
Postmaster-G General Creswell extraordi.
nary powers OF tampering with the mails
to discover and arrest the same. Under
the provisions of this bill, one N. C.
Comstock was appointed special agent
of the postoffice department to look after
obscene publications and a certain class
Of surgical implements and medicines.
His practices have finally become 80 OPP
pressive upon the medical profession
that some prominent apothecaries Of
New York have sent a lawyer here armed
with q large number Of affidavits and
other documents, showing that Comstock
has systematically blackmailed and per.
secuted them, and asking that the law
under which they IRE oppressed shall be
repealed" The abuse is 30 fragrant. the
law SO unjust if not unconstitutional,
that even General Creswell
is in favor of and asks for its repeal.
When the man who endorsed the Chor.
penning contract squirms, you may be
sure that it is no delicate matter that

IAN ATTRACTIVE POLITICAL
TRIO"

Under this heading the Virginia Eu-
terprise goes for US in company with the
Carson Appeal and Reno Crescent. The
latter are perfectly well able to defend
themselves, and il they cant, why, they
must do the best they can. For our own
part, we will say, that sorry as We may
be, that our political course may not
suit the Enterprise, that We should look
upon it as a very bad sign if it did The
Enterprise has committed itself neck
and crop, body and bones, TO the de-
fepse of every abuse and official robbery,
no matter what, provided only the guilty
parties profess R@publicanism. Now We
are opposed to this tide Of corruption
from wherever and whoever it emanates,
and do not hesitate to say SO. 1t makes
little difference who it hits. II they are
guilty they should be exposed, and we
shall not hesitate to do So no matter to
what party they belong. II the Enter

District of Columbia, or any other
frauds, it is welcome to it, and if i,
makes success of the job, able as it is,
it will, like an old Bailey or Toombs
lawyer, deserve all the laurels it can reap
Not long since the Enterprise published
paragraph in favor of Judge Dwell, Of
Louisiana. Now, if it wants to uphold
him or any other perjured scoundrel W.
wish it JOY of the undertaking. We, OF
our part, prefer to do our very best, il
season and out of season, to expose anC
denounce the infamies which have latel,
been brought to light, of which he wa
the perpetrator. No sneering and deris
ion will alter that acknowledged fact
Yet the Enterprise is his self-electet
champion. Well, it can suit itself ant
do its best to prevent the just punish

swindler that, under the name of party
has made that name o by-word and re

But we tell it, once for all, that we won
that we shall raise our voice, humbl
and weak as it may be. to depounce thi
vile system OF swindling that now di,

the transgressors and ask for their pur
ishment; no matter whether he is Den

no thieving lobbyist shall receive OF

INGALLS, AGAIN.

A Camp Douglas soldier writes very |
Indignantly to the Salt Lake Tribune
respecting some statements made by In
dian Agent ingalls, before the Congress
sional Investigation Committee. We
have no wonder that the soldier should
be angry with Ingalls,, for he stigmatizes
them as drunken and immoral. We be-
lieve that Mr.. Ingalls, had no foundation
whatever upon which to base such an
accusation. Why is not Mr.. ingalls, at
the scene Of his duties and attending to
them. Instead of that, he has to be loaf
ing around Washington, though, per-
haps, is called there to answer inquiries.
II, however, he did his duty and attended
closely aud honestly to his business,
there would be no trouble, no dissatis-
faction and no need Of inquiry; and II
| there were an Investigation had he could
rest easy, for he would have nothing to
fear. In place OF this he has to poke
around Washington, Juggling at official
and Congressional skirts. But for the
matter of that, probably Mr.. Ingalls, is
no worse, and no better. than the rest OF
the men in similar positions. 1t is the
vicious system which is the root of it all.
| We believe that au agents salary Is
81, 500 year in greenbacks. Now, what
man of any snap and character is going
Juggling over a wilderness for Sl2o pei
month. But it is done, and done by
men of undoubted ability, with business
talents of earning far more money than
that. Well, what induces them to sacri
fee their time and labor? Is it from
motives of philanthrophy or patriotism
or what? We expect it was principally
"what." There must he aud is somt
reason that is below the surface tina
causes this apparently imprudent pro
ceeding to be SO invaribly pursued
What is it? What can it be but unlaw
full gain. How else can men hold such
petty Office for a few years and become
rich in most unnccountable manner
They do it however, Of which there are N
lack OF examples. The question is theI
properly in order, is a system that per
mits and officials that connive and prof
, by such downright roguery, just or hon
est? Would it not be wise to do ava
with the whole thing at one fell swoo
and have u new deal and square one.

ADVICE GRATIs.-Will the Salt Lake
Tribune and Herald never quit jawing
about their private matters. Will they new
er learn that to the general public such
topics are void Of allinterest. Nobody but
their creditors care to know about their
solvency, etc.; and the best thing they
can do to keepin healthy financial CON
dition is to quit scolding through the
columns Of their papers, and occupy
their space with news and comments in
which the public will feel some interest
There, that is SO much advice gratis. and
therefore not very valuable, but there is
some sound sense in it for all that.

But at last the bcwildering young
widow attracted to her side younger,
and to her mind a more congenial per-
son. He was young man of pleas
ing address, but one upon whom for
tune had not bestowed her most gen.

by her many feminine al lions she

ces of amusement, he daily grew more
and more attentive TO hcr,and though

and was accepted. They were mar

The Widow Turner.

She was tall and elegant woman,
she had a handsome figure, a pleasant
face, radiant with health and good ma
ture, kindly heart, and was withall
very comely and attractive person.
Richard Robinson loved her truly,
earnestly, sincerely and passionately.
He was middleaged man ofpleasing
presence, and as everybody thought,
was well suited to such a worthy wo-
man as the widow Turner.
But the widow Turner was restless
and capricious, she had sufficient in
come to afford her comfortable liv-
ing, she was not under the necessity
of marrying for home. She lad,
like many other attractive young wild.
ows, many admirers, who were drawn
towards her by her sprightly and
pleasing manners and winning ways.
A widow can read a mans charac-
ter at a glance. She understands his
nature by intuition. She can fathom
bis deepest schemes and intentions
without difficulty, and can come out
ahead of him in nearly every under
taking and plan that he attempts,
while to man a widow is a riddle
that bis most profound wisdom and
knowledge of human nature are una
BILE to satisfactorily solve. Man is a
credulous@sort of an animal at best,
and nothing can so completely Devil
der him, as beautiful woman.
Richard Robinson was q conn lc,e-
Iy bewildered man. He was entirely
infatuated with the widow Turner
He sent her tender and long missivcs
by every mail that, to a disinterested
reader might have sounded very
childlike for person of his age. He
implOred her over and over again, to
name an early day for. putting aside
the unpoetic name of Turner, and adj
opting the more romantic appellation
of Robinson, but the bewldering wild
ow was memorable She was not vet

Truth in Nutshell.

Says the Nicksburger, Of the many
learned and varied discourses we
have read on civil rights, and social
rights, and the equality of all men,
the following from an exchange, con-
tains the truth of the matter, with the
sharpest point and the smallest CON-
pass:
1. Macon negro philosopher, dis
cussing the relations Of the races,
said: "You know dc turkey, he
roost on de fence, and de goose he
roost on de ground. You pull de
tugley off de fence, and he will git up
again. You crop his wings, but
somehow or nudder hes gwine to get
back on de fence. Now you put de
goose on de fence, an he'll fall off
he don't belong dar. De turkey am
de white man. He's down now, but
is gwine to get up again. De niger
is de goose. He better stay whar he
belongs.
