THE BELCHER FIRE.

From the Virginia Chronicle
A column OF fire shot up from the
mouth of the shaft at least three hun
dred feet into the air. The heat became
so intense that everybody was driven
back from the shaft. The firemen, how
ever, kept q stream of water from the
hose on the surrounding buildings and
trestle work which every moment threat
ened to take fire. The appearance of
the pillar Of fame was magnificent be-
yond description. The mass Of red flame
was solid and continuous for q distance
of about 100 feet from the ground and
then broke into forked sheets of fire.
This display was accompanied with a
rumbling sound and was like that of an
approaching hurricane. So great was
the draft as the air came rushing through
the immense perpendicular chimney
1000 feet in hight, that chunks of Gin
der and pieces Of charred timber as large
as mans fist were shot up into the air
hundreds of feet and fell more than a
mile away.
STOPPING THE DRIFTS below.
After the men were rescued and it was
found that none were missing, Hank
Smith, Superintendent Of the mine.
Hank Donnelly, foreman. and several Of
the underground foremen began to take
measures to stop the confagration. The
plan adopted was to send men down be-
low through the main hosting works.
have them pass through the levels to the
bottom of the burning shaft and stop up

STATE ELECTION.

Throughout the State there appears to
have existed complete mania for scratch
ing the nominees whose names appear
on the regular party tickets. In the
more populous localities this causes the
counting to proceed very slowly. Our
dispatches say that it is not probable
that at Virginia the count will be COM
pleted until this evening or tomorrow
morning. The kilograms from thence
are obscure and somewhat contradictory.
They say that Governor Bradley will re-
ceive majority in Storey county, while
the Republican legislative ticket will OBJ
tain majority estimated at from 500 to
800 votes. The election of Woodburn,
Rep, for Congress, is also conceded,
though it is said that the Democrats do
not give up all hope. The several coun-
ty tickets throughout the State seem to
be very mixed, with perhaps the oxcep-
ton of Elko. At this time Of writing,
with what light we have on the subject,
it would seem that Bradley is reelected
that the legislature will be Republican
and with the exception of the Governor
and it may be Lieutenant Governor, al
the rest Of the Democratic State ticket il
defeated. At the same time it must b.
remembered that the returns are at pres
ent SO incomplete, meagre and scatter
ing, that it is impossible to draw any
well founded conclusion from them
where the vote is at all close.

Tom FITCH has formally renowned his
Democratic heresies and returned to the
bosom of the Republican party. He
says; .....
AS the wanderer returns to the home
OF his childhood, so do l come back to
your tents, oh Israel! As the traveller who
has strayed by night into the trackless
forest welcomes the broad highway
again, so do range myself once more
under the banners of the grand old Re.
publican party. In plac-
ing myself in line again with my old po-
litlcal friends have not to journey very
far. Fortunately for my peace of mind I
was not identified with the Democracy
long enough ever to vote Democratic
ticket, or strong enough ever to make a
Democratic speech.
Oh, Tom! We cannot stand that; for
we heard you in Phoebe make Demo-
cratic speech during the campaign Of
1872. We fear we shall have to call
tickle Toms attention to those lines of
Burns:
.'Oh Tam: oh Tim; thoul't get they fairin',
In hell they'll roast the like herrin'."

EASTERN ELECTIONS.

Our intelligence from the East by tele-
graph is so lneagre that the results of
the elections in the great Atlantic States
can only be inferred from the tenor Of
the dispatches describing the effects
produced at Washington. From this
somewhat precarious data it would seem
that the Democrats had achieved some
great and unexpected victories in the
Eastern States-even in Massachusetts,.
The Washington kilograms apparently
indicate that in the administration cir.
cles of the national capitol. the belief is
current that the next House of Repre-
sentatives will include Democratic ma.
jority. This is not at all to be wondered
at. The frightful and continued misrule
and robbery OF the South, the Credit
Mobilier, the back pay and salary grab,
the Washington City frauds. the safe
burglary connected with that iniquity
now in process of ventilation in n court
of justice, that is if there are courts in
Washington worthy of that name; the
gag law. the tolerance given to the Lou
isiana infamy, the general corruption,
laxity and defiance of public opinion,
shown by prominent politicians and off,
cials, have at last wrought their natural
and logical consequence and induced a
distrust and disgust in the minds OF the
public, that caused them to administer
this wholesome and telling rebuke. Fol-
some long time past, entrenched behind
q powerful administration, public Off.
Gals have been bold. reckless and def
, ant. Finding that proceeding was
arousing storm of indignation which
would not be well to defy, an appear
ance of remedying abuses and Furnishing
delinquents has been put on, but like a
trunk maker, there was a good deal
more noise than work, and the public
grown suspicious, was quick to discern
the deception. The legitimate conse-
quence was, that at the first opportunity
for expressing their opinion, the people
would mark their sense of this corrup-
ton and double-dealing. and they have
Just done So The result is, that there lie

erect costly ediices, and that at the most |
critical period in the history OF the
Golden State. When the decadence OF
her mines was reducing her commerce,
paralysing her struggling manufacturing
industries, and her agricultural resources
had not been sufficiently developed to
supply the deficiency caused the exhaus-
ton Of her placer mines, then it was,
that the outlet afforded by tie Nevada
mines for the unemployed, afforded such
welcome relief. which was enhanced ten
fold by their enormous and constant yield.
While Nevada owes much 10 California,
vet she has abundantly and gratefully
reauited her aid and deserves far more
consideration than the California press
has ever accorded her, with the single
exception of late article in the Sacra-
mento Record. The reason OF this
stupid indifference and callous insensi-
biIity is not difficult of explanation. As
the years rapidly pass, the old-time set
tiers and prospectors are passing away
and a new importation is taking their
places, who have neither their clear in
telligence or generous hearts. The new
coners reached these shores after the
heat and burden Of the day was past; they

Badly Bitten Judge.

1t is fact pretty generally known that
in order to dispose of disorderly characters
promptly at the New York State fairs,
justice of the peace holds court continually
on the fair ground. A West Troy justice
attended to the business last Fall, and
many offenders were brought before the
"big judge" Among the number arrest
ed was young man having the appearance
of half witted, Overgrown country boy.
He was detected in " scaling the fence"
and brought up by the policeman to the
Office of the justice. The lubberly boy adj
mitted the charge, but pleaded in extern
uation that he had no money, and his
desire to see the show" had induced him
to commit the wrong. The squire quickly
sentenced him to Jail for thirty days or to
pay fine of five dollars.
The culprit began to cry, saying he had
no money, but the squire was inexorablo,
and unless the five dollars were paid at
once the outside world would be a stranger
to him for thirty days After continuing
to "blubber" for some time, the boy said
that his mother had sent him to the savings
bank in Albany to deposit fifty dollars
and he had the money with him. "Well,"
said the justice, IF you would avoid going
to Jail, take five dollars out of your moth
er's money, and go home and explain mat
ters to her." The boy finally drew off one
of his cow-hide boots, and taking from it a
small piece of newspaper, displayed fifty
dollar bill rolled within.
With a soTowful look and a trembling
hand the bank note was handed to "his
honor" who returned forty-five dollars
change. This done, the justice directed
the policeman to take the boy by the col
lar and thrust him ont of the gate, which
was done by the blue coat, who added, by
way of emphasis, good sound kick. AS
the pretended greenhorn reached the road
he was laughed at by the crowd, and in re-
ply said : "I have finished my business
in there" The next day the squire pro-
ceeded to deposit the fifty dollars in the
bank, when he was informed that it was
counterfeit.
Imagine the feelings of "the court. -
"Sold," said he, "and got the money!
The Justice has decided that "appear-
ances are deceptive" and with regard tC
the honesty of strangers "you can't most
always tell" The squire will keep a
sharp lookout for country pumpkins here
after.
