SARCASTIC. - A correspondent,
writing to the Independent, gets
somewhat personal in his remarks
about fires in the mines of the Com
stock:
" Carbonic gas, generated by the
burning of timbers in the mines,
acts on the brain, producing sudden
death or hopeless insanity. The
-NewS man asserts that the miners
could escape in three minutes! l
am not aware of a connection be-
tween any two mines throughout
the entire length of the lead where
this could be accomplished, and if a
fire should break out in the Ophir
to- dav, and the editor of the Gold
Hill NelCs i'll the mine, he could not
drag his worthless carcass through
the air connection to the Consolidate
ed Virginia within an hour. OF
course, as carbonic gas acts on the
brain, that gentlemen would be eX-
empt from any affection of that de-
scription, still, if he is DESTROYS o.
trying the experiment of being in 9
mine when on fire, have no doubt
the miners of Gold Hill and Vir
sinia will oblige him on the mex

Central Committee, for Storey Coun-
ty, will be held at Virginia on the
25th .... Three of Reno's ticket-of-
leave men have made their appear

.'shadowed" by the police. There
are nineteen prisoners in the county
Jail of Storey county--fourteen men
and five women, including the Belle
of the Barbary Coast. The wound
received by Van Gorder, by the ac-
cidental discharge of a double bar
relied shotgun on Sunday last, is not
so serious as was at first supposed.
The muscle of the arm, it now APP

striking it and turning to the side,

WE should judge from the pet
names used, that Powning of the
journal, and Lewis of the Crescent,
both of Reno, must harmonic
muchly. The Journal accused the
editor of the Crescent of belonging
to the Vigilantes, and other little
things of the kind, when Lewis
retorts as follows
"There is in the economy of God
no more despicable creation than the
thing that spews out SANDER by in
uendo-seeking to build himself on
the ruin of his neighbours reputation.
Such a creature is a coward by
nature, thief by instinct, muir
derer at heart; his cOwardice is
society's best protection; do you ask
me where such an one is to be
found l answer, thou art the
man."
And now comes the journal in its
following issue:
{" 1t was the general expression of
the Reno public yesterday that j. C.
Lewis was an artist of rare merit, so
true to life did he draw pen por-
trait of himself in his issue OF yes
terday morning. He may have
meant it for our humble self, but
while he was writing, his thoughts
reverted to himself, and his pen
scratched down on the canvas, what
was to be seen in the innermost
recesses of his vile heart"

BEECHER-TILToN.-By telegraph
we have the statement of Theodore
Tilton before the Investigating Com
mittee of Plymouth Church. 1t is
three and a-half columns in length,
fine type, or about four columns of
the TIMEs---too long for us to pub
fish. He establishes a criminal in
tercourse to have existed between
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher and
Mrs. Tilton, running from 1868 to
1870; gives letters to substantiate the
facts, both from the Reverend gen.
tleman and the confession of Mrs.
rilton. 1t is splendid reading, and
will be found in all f1ashy papers OF
the day. In 1871 Beecher said an
oppose OF the affair would kill him;
now that it has come, when will he
give up the ghost?

A RACE BY AERoNAUTs.- Profess
sor Martin has challenged NJ. Buis-
lay to a trial of speed in balloons,
and NJ. Buislay has accepted. The
trial will come off next Sunday, the
balloons rising from Woodward 5
Gardens in San Francisco. 1t is the
intention to remain in the air as long
as the gas will hold out, and the bal
loon making the greatest distance
will win the race. The balloons to
be used are much smaller than the
Sierra Nevada, but they will carry
proportionately small loads.

FOUND DRowNED.-On the Goth,
about 5 o'clock, dead body was
picked up in the Bay at the foot of
Market street wharf. The body was
entirely naked, and various marks
of violence were found. The Coro-
ner took charge Of the remains and
had them conveyed to the Morgue,
where they were recognized as
those of A. ID. Ogg, a Cau re-
porter, who had been missing
from the Kennel House, on Mission
street, near First, tor three days.
Mr.. Ogg was an esteemed member
of the Press, and his contributions
to the CsH over the rom de plume
of Eva c. Sorg' were much ad-
mired.

UNDER The new postal law, WHICH
allows four pounds Of merchandise
to go through the mails for 80 cents,
the forwarding of samples, instru-

A BAD CAsE.-John Pascoe, the miner who

pox saws the Eureka Sentinel now lies in a
very precarious condition. The case has de

malignant type. The entire body, from the
head to the feet, is not only covered with the
pustular eruption. but il has also appeared
and on the tunsils and fauces, in fact, the
whole coalescing into one huge sore. The
pan lies in a sort of stupor, and fears are en-
tertained that he will not survive the attack

trial to break the force Of previous impressions.
What more can be asked not only in equity but
from common possibility ? This viii be the re-
suit in the Beecher case. we may be sure, for
otherwise panel Of the whole of Brooklyn
might be drawn without avail.
But this is not the rule, and SO far as any con-
cession is made to the jury 1t Is a breaksge Oh
evasion of the rule. The question is therefore
whether we shall have legal proceeding which
is mere pretence or whether, we shall honest
ly change it 30 as to made the selection of a
jury something more than premium on igno-
rance or an inducement to men of low morals to
swear falsely for the sake Of obtaining pos
ition? Let more faith be placed in the fairness
of reputable men. Thought is free, and news
paper knowledge in our time is practically free.
The rules which still govern, or are supposed to
govern the formation Of iuries were made in a
bygone age, when men were not as conyersant
with affairs as they now are, through the medi-
UNI Of the press and improved means of commu-
nication. All the conditions of life have chang
ed but the constitution of the jury is supposed
to remain unchanged. There must be reform,
and it would be better every WY to have it made
in an open and Incorporating manner.
