is the Prussian South, which is reported
to be of marvellous richness and vast ex-
tent, and on which o mill and hosting
works are in course Of erection. The
Prussian mine is also said to be good

which hold out prospect of becoming
valuable.-[ Austin Reveille, 3lst.

A WOMAN, either wild or crazy, was
discovered this morning by some parties
out in the hills east of the Catholic ceme-

uttered wild laugh and fed down the
ravine.-t Virg. Chronicle, 30th.

parts of the city, on suspicion of fraud
intended against the Government.

Friday evening, which contained grave
charges, expressed in these words: "On
a certain occasion Mr.. Beecher solicited
me to become wife to him, with all
that is implied in this relation. This
proposition communicated to my hus-

personal knowledge, DR.. Storris ex-
pressed the opinion that it would not be
necessary for him to appear before the
committee.

NO NEED FOR REFORM.

This is the cry of the Administration
politicians. They say IL reform is need
ed it can be had within the party better
than disrupting the party. Still they
say there is no need of reform; that the
wheels of the Government are running
smoothly, and that nothing is needed
but absolute submission to the powers
that be. These men know that there is
not single branch of the Government
that is not corrupt Carson Tribune.
The Tribune is right. There are more
stupid, senseless remarks maundered by
the Administration journals on this
point than in all others combined. They
admit the charge, for the reason that so
much corruption has been dragged to
light, that denials are no longer of use,
and yet ask, that the very men that have
originated, counived at and proited by
all these stealings shall have another
opportunity to repeat their offences.
What they would do in that line may be
judged, and fairly so, by their past ca
reer. A tree is said to be known by its
fruits, and certainly the crop that was
harvested by Congress and the admins
tration, is not of character to desire
another. Still further, it must not be
forgotten, and if We can help it, it never
shall, that the nefarious practices ex-
posed in the past eighteen months. were
pointed out by the press, and the very
men that were the offenders, actually in
Republican America, passed bill to
stihe the liberty of the press, in order
that they in future might indulge their
corrupt practices unchecked by public
opinion. Spite of all this, these men
with unblushing cheeks and unabashed
assurance, are now bowling and scraping
before the people asking for another
stealing term. The quotation " The
force of nature could no further go" in
this case might be aptly paraphrased
thus, 1.-The force of impudence could no
further Co." ior it certainly could not.

FREE AND UNTRAMMELLED

The Virginia Enterprise (Administra-
tion) and the San Francisco Examiner
(Democratic) are troubling themselves
considerably because the Sacramento
Union has spurned all party letters and
declares that it will support what it
thinks right, because OF it being right
and not because the same position may
be taken by the Republican or Demo-
cratic parties. We are glad, heartily
glad, to see the Union liberate itself from
all party affiliations and enter the politi-
cal arena free to support the right and
denouncs the wrong. no matter from
which side it may arise. A thoroughly
independent journal, of large circulation
like the Union. becomes power in the
land. Its opinions have weight, its
views are received with respect, because
it is known that they are not tinctured
and distorted by party bias. The days
of party hacks are gone by. They never
were useful and only tolerated, because
while parties might differ on certain
points, OH the question of administering
q thoroughly honest Government in &C.
cordance with the traditions of the
Fathers, there was no dispute. In these
days the matter assumes quite a differ
emit shape. The real conflict is between
politicians, who will all steal, and the
people, who desire an honest, decent and
competent Government. This cannot be
secured by clinging to the skirts of any
particular party, because engineered as
they are by professional spoilsmen, they
only want power for the purpose Of &C.
quiring wealth. For journal to serve
the people in the manner the public have
a right to expect, it must cut loose from
all party ties and be ready to expose
wrong and ill-doing as well on
one side as the other. This is what
the Sacramento Union proposes to do.
For years almost singlehanded, it waged
bitter warfare against a powerful mo-
nopoly, and by its trenchant blows COM
PEELED even a monster corporation, to
acknowledge the power of the press
when used for the purpose of benefitting
the people. The Sacramento Union did
all this, and now it is advancing still
further in its efforts to punish the cor
rupt; and to do so more effectually, has
Invested itself of all tie encumbrances Of
party and will direct its powerful energies
to secure an honest administration Of
public affairs, no matter by which party
controlled. For doing this, the Unior
deserves, and will receive the support
and confidence of the people of the Pa
cific coast, who have been too Ions
blinded, and suffered too much by the
special pleading of parcel of politica
guerrillas. We rejoice that the Uniol
has taken this course; and in our humbl
way we shall also do what we may t
follow the same path. We are assure
that we shall thus be able to more effect
ually be of service to our fellow citizens
and more certainly attain and deserev
their regard and esteem, which is on
earnest desire to secure.

AMATEUR JENKINsEs. Some muggins
living near Reno, who wanted to get his
name into. print (which morbid desire
we at least will not gratify) sent GER
tificate of 500 shares of stock in a wild
cat claim near Reno as present to Miss
Nellie Grant on the occasion of her mar
riage. Gracious! how numerous are the
race of Jenkinses and how they love to
give gifts to the rich and powerful; but
as to the poor, they must do the best
they can. When poor little Sallie
Scroggs got married, we reckon no wild
cat certificates were sent to her. Her
friends, and those of her fancee, had no
Offices to give away, and probably they
are all the better and happier as they
are; certainly richer, for not being pre-.
sented with gifts Of wild cat stock. 1t ia
bad enough to buy untamed feline
quadrupeds without having them forced
upon folks whether they will or no.

OF touch, combined with thorough ap
probation of his author, Mr. Mathe,
may well challenge comparison.
