in the Gonzales murder case.
The U. 5. Steamer Tuscarora,
which was sent out to take sound
ings for the Cable from this coast to
Japan, is coming into the harbor;
also the ship Roswell Sprague, from
Puget Sound.
On July 18th, near Bird Island, in
the Australian seas, the American
bark Sierra Nevada ran into and
sank the brig Geo. II. Peake. The
officers and crew of the latter were
saved.
The steamer Tuscarora left here
Just one year ago to-day, to survey
the line and make soundings for a
cable to Japan. The first attempt
from Cape Flattery was abandoned,
on account Of the lateness of the sea-
son, and she made soundings on and
off the coast from Cape Flattery to
San Diego. From that port she
struck out for Honolulu, making
soundings as she went. From Homo
lulu she proceeded to Yokohama via
| the Borina Islands. The deepest
water found on this line was 3,2ol
| fathoms. Two lines were started
from the coast of Japan, but aban-
doned on account of the great depth
of water. The third line was found
feasible and was run to Kuril Island
one of the Aleutian group; thence
| run to Omialaska, and from there to
Cape Flattery. The greatest depth
found on this line was 5H miles.

WE'LL RECEIVED.

The announcement, published a
week ago in the TINES, that Hon. &C.
Stevenson would accept the nomina-
ton tor Governor on the Republican
ticket, has met with a most cordial
reception at the hands Of the people
of this as well as adjoining counties.
Not a single paper, carrying the ban
ner of the party with which Mr..
Stevenson is associated, but agrees
with us that he is a suitable man for
the position, and that he could carry
the full vote of the party at the polls.
We even go farther than this, and
confidently assert that he could poll
larger vote than any Republican
in the State for the same position.
Mr.. Stevenson is closely identified
with the material interests of the
State, being largely interested III the
mines, as well as having a number
of mills and other property, and has
been looked upon as a fixture in the
State for fifteen years. AS a Stale
Senator he was always found at his
post of duty, legislating Tor the good
of the people OF the State at large,
and as an Executive he would not be
found wanting. His executive abil-
ity is not surpassed, and few men
could bring to bear any more expe-
rience than could the gentleman in
question. We hope to see him re-
ceive the nomination Of the party,
feeling as we do that he would be
the right man in the right place.

A WAR OF RACES.

Unquestionably there is to be a
war Of races in the Southern States.
The telegraph has kept us advised
of the killing of both whites and
blacks by mysterious agencies. The
Democratic press of the country
have tried TO ridicule the idea, in
sisting that the reports were set in
motion for political purposes, to
influence the people at the coming
election. Not day passes but we
note fearful massacres in Tennessee,
Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, and
other extreme sections, and the
forming of "white leagues in
various localities, as well as the
banding together OF the blacks for
mutual protection. The idea OF the
gatherers of news for the Associated
Press originating all these stories
without foundation is simply pre-
posterous. The Eastern press is
filled with reports from the tur
bulent sections, all going to show
the near proximity of an open rup-
ture, which is now staid only by the
strong arm of the Government. In
speaking of the matter, the New
York Commercial says: The news
paper articles about a "war of
races however ridiculous they
may appear at first sight, really
seem to have a basis of fact, if we
may judge from the numbers of
orders received in New York of late,
from both whites and blacks in the
Southern States. The stories circu-
lated are not merely for political
effect, unless signs are widely amiss.
The provocation is the enforcement
of the "civil rights BILL" and in
consequence, white leagues and
black leagues are arming, to what
extent we cannot say, but on scale
sufficient to make considerable dis
turbance in i" hollow-ware." a re-
cent letter received from one of our
manufacturers says: awe are all
arming and organizing in clubs in
the white Leagues. On the
other hand, the "colored troops
who fought bravely' are buying
all the arms they can get money to
pay for.

GOLDEN Truths FROM THE WHITE HOUSE
Serene as Summers day are those we'll
known and popular clothing men. Messrs.
Cohn Isaacs, No. 16 south street, Virginia.
The world ways well with them. People appre
ciate their goods, approve of their prices; and
admire their style of doing business. At the
WHITE House CLOTHING STORE are seen no
brOils nor contentious with swindled custo
mers returning mOth-eaten and inferior goods
No evasive prOtestatiOns, that II didn't sell it
to YOU and Il didn 'trecOmmendi it, winding
up with your eyes were your market sir.
At the WHITE House old customers daily re-
turn bringing their friends with them, who
also become good customers. OF course, to
some natures, it is very calling to see new
establishment like the WHITE House open
right under their noses as it were, and achieve
a marked and brilliant success; taking in the
very start high position in public esteem.
and gaining greater share of popElar favor
and patronage than many houses that have
beed hammering away for years. However,
these old houses shuEld learn to grin and
bear it. Messrs. Coin X Isaacs do not allude
to these things in any spirit of pride or tri
umph: they simply state facts for the public
good They do not doubt that it is gall and
wormwood to their neighbors to have custo-
mers of many years standing leave them and
give their patronage to the WHITE HOUSE
CLOTHING STORE, bun manifestation of temper
is in very bad taste and really has bad effect.
Being manifestly untrue it disgusts all hear
ers, and sends customers by scores to the
WHITE House. Such is life. So mote it be-

A REMARKABLE ADvlNTURE.-Abou
five weeks ago son OF DR.. W. II. El-
dridge, Of this district, says the Boston
Globe Of November 81, suddenly disap-
peared, and was not heard from until last
Saturday. The boy SAYS that on the even
ing of October 10, ~ he was leaving the
apothecary store on Bunker Hill street,
where he was employed, he was approach
cd by a man who informed him that q
fire was raging in the vicinity Of Chelsea
bridge, and asked him to 60 down and see
it. Arriving at the bridge no fire was to
be seen, and when just on the point Of re-
turning, he was seized around the neck by
the man, who choked him until he bee anne
unconscious, robbed him, and then threw "
him over the railing into the waters of the
Mystic. The chill which the plunge into
the water gave to his system restored him
30 that he was able to attempt to save
himself. The tide was running out, and
he, being . skillful swimmer, kept freu
drowning, and hoated Down the stream
until opposite East Boston, whore friend
ly spar which was floating in the water
came near TO him, and gaining this, he
hoated out to sea. He subsequently, be-
oame unconscious, and whom he rallied
again he was out of sight Of land, still
cliuSing to the log. After remaining in
the water nineteen hours, he was rescued
by brig bound for Greenland-and, ~ he
did not care to visit that country, he was
placed on board an English steamer, the
namo of which he states WAS the Norman,
and carried to Liverpool. He improved
the first opportunity to return home In the
steamer Smyrna, which arrived at this
port last Saturday.

CoxoRrss will meet next Monday, and
as it will be what is called the ''short scs-
sion" cannot sit longer than the 4th OF
March In view of the recent political
revelation throughout the country more
than ordinary interest is manifested to see
what line of policy the Republican, leaders
will adopt,
1t is quite evident that there is no love
between Grant and Congress. He makes
no secret of attributing the defeat Of his
administration at the October and Sovem-
bcr elections to the legislative comnsissions
as well as omissions of that body, while
the Radical leaders assert on the other
hand that Grant himself is solely rsspon-
sible for the disaster. The country has
passed it's solemn Judgment upon them and
has rendered a verdict Of gully against
6cth.
The financial question viii no doubt be
again elaborately discussed, but as the
views Of Tho President and those Of Con-
gress on that subject arc in direct conflict,
it is not likely anything definite will be
arrived at. The Civil Rights bill, which
passed the Senate as the last session and
now awaits the action Of the House, will
be under tho charge Of Benjamin F. But
lsr, the great defeated, who avows his
intention Of forcing it " q final vote and
compelling tho Republicans OF the House
to show their hands. Butler evidently
means mischief, for he Is we'll aware that
within the last six weeks Grant repeatedly
and openly declared that let the bill come
before him in whatever shape it may, he
will crush 1t with prompt ssto. A this
will be Buffers last appearance on the
Congressional boards, At least for some
time, and as he IL intent on revenging
himself on his enemies, some rioh and rare
developments may be expected from him.
Cheap transportation of the agricultural
products of the West to the Fast will
afford prolific theme for debate. The
ve1cd question of internal improvements
in several Of the States by the general
government will no doubt occupy a good
deal Of it's time. Thomas A. Scott will be
on hand with his modest request that the
government aid him with the triiing sum
Of serenity millions OF dollars with which
to cornpete the Southern Pacific Rail Road,
Of which he is the President.
The louisiana difficulties will also have
to be disposed Of in some definite way, as
tho President will refer the whole question
to Congress. Although the session win be
short, much work can be done if there is a
disposition shown to do it. The fear is
that it will degenerate, like other Con-
crosses for years past have done, into job
berry aud plumber, and that as it will be the
last Republican Congress that will assem-
Bile for many years to come, the majority
will make tho most out Of their present
opportunity.

PRESIDENT GRANTS brother has been
appointed Military Trader for the posts on
the Upper Missouri. Orville L. Grant thus
secures one Of the richest placors in the
whole Indian country. II anybody thinks
IL is not rich placer he should read the
letter from our correspondent ut st. Paul
which we print to-day. Besides the privi-
lege to supply provisions for the troops STA
toned at these posts, the trader usually
hascontrol ofthe transportation of the goods
sent thither for the large Indian tribes OF
the Northwest. To an Indian trader 500
per cent. 10 only small profit, and he
sonetimes makos 900 per cent This can
be easily accomplished by stealing about
One-half Of the goods forwarded by the Gov
ernment to the agencies and selling them
to the Indians ut advanced prices. Our
correspondent tells how Grants predeces-
sor once stopped a steamboat in the mid
Gle OF the river, and transferred half the
cargo to another boat which followed M
ana arrived at the post later. The stolen
cargo was then uushipped and the goods.
which actually belonged to the Indians,
were sold to them at such prices as the In.
dian ring men chose to ask And if anv.
body thinks that member of the Grant
family will fail to emulate and oven sur.
pass al! his predecessors in this line OF bus
mess, he will be realty Disappointed. Y.
