The Administrator journals in the
East, that had no word of condemna-
ton for the nomination of the pOliti-
clan Williams, are furious at the sub
stitution of Cushing's name. This is
no more than was to be expected.
There is no position, in the eye of the
regular political organ, that ought not
to be used to reward political mana
ger, and no matter what the fitness of
the man, he has not in their opinion,
. particle of right to hold an Office, UNI
less ne has rendered the appointing
power, services in the caucus or on
the stump. If he has manipulated
the primaries successfully he may
aspire to the Supreme bench or rep
resent the nation in the proudest
courts of the Old World, but if he has
quietly gone about his business, and
let the dirty herd of political shutters
alone, no matter how valuable his
services to the world, he cannot receive
the support Of an "organ" for the
humblest position. Caleb Cushing is
probably one Of the ablest and most
profoundly learned men in the United
States. The only strong objection to
his appointment as Chief Justice lies
in his great age, but he is still in Wig
orous health and the fnll enjoyment of
his astonishing mental powers, and
may hope to live several years to
adorn the high position that has been
rendered to him. We should have
preferred the appointment of either
VIM. M. Evarts or Charles OConnor,
the two greatest lawyers of the nation
who are yet in the full possession of
manly vigor, and likely to continue
for long period of years to shed the
lustre of their brilliant attachments on
the jurisprudence Of the United
States. With Supreme Bench COM
posed of such men as these, the deci-
sions of our highest Court would COM
pei the respect of the whole world,
and prove the surest bulwark of our lib
critics. But it is too much, probably, to
expect the appointment of such men
from an Executive who packed the
the Court with creatures like Strong;
and we ought to be grateful for the
happy chance that has brought about
so good q thing as the nomination OF
Cushing.

The gas men were in close cOnsulta-
ton yesterday, and everything seems
to be moving along favorably. The
old Company seems willing to sell
their works, taking stock in the new
organization in payment, and if they
will take a price that is reasonable,
there is little doubt that the arrange
ments will all be made. Our leading
business men appreciate the import
ance of having the right kind of works.
The works Of the old company, though
they have cost q good deal, are so
faulty constructed that they cannot
produce good quality of gas without
too much expense, and new works
will be built even if an amicable ar
rangement is made. A meeting will
be held to-day at which all the pre-
liminaries will be settled, and the
necessary steps taken to perfect the
organization. We think it highly
important that our citizens should
generally subscribe for the stock of
this new company. II the stock is
held in small quantities by the actual
consumers Of gas, the interest of pro-
Queer and consumer would be the
same, and we should hear less of the
contention that is SO generally going
on about the cost and quality Of the
gas. There are good many consum-
ers in this city who, under the present
circumstances, pay from $3.50 to $500
per year, while few even run up to
$1,000. These bills can, by proper
management, be reduced almost, if
not quite one half, and the best way
to insure this is for the men that are
interested to take the stock, and
thus control it themselves. If there is
any profit in the manufacture of gas,
and it is generally supposed to be a
very remunerative business, the gain
will accrue to those who have to use
it. II the stock is generally distrib-
uted among our citizens, no one will
have as much interest in the making
Of money by the company as he will
in the production Of good article Of
gas, and in its being furnished at a
low price. We therefore earnestly
urge on all our business men the i'm
portance of giving their attention to
this matter, and of making the new
enterprise complete success.

Query.

EDS. HERALD:-A few days since
noticed in your paper the articles of
incorporation of the Southern CalifOr-

ton, a company incorporated at Will
mington under provisions of an Act OF
the Legislature of California, entitled,
Gan Act to provide for the formation
Of corporations for certain purposes,
April, IA, in the year of our Lord
1853, and all Acts amendatory thereof,
and supplementary thereto" In as
much as that act has been repealed by
Section 2S8, Of the Civil Code, except
as the same relates to companies or

of the Codes, the query arises under
what law did the Wilmington Conn
pany incorporate? LEX.

Mr.. G. W. Bevis, of the Barnes set
Element, gives us his experience the
past year with alfalfa. The year pre-
vious he had sown two measured
acres with this grass, but very thinly.
That year he used it for grazing pur-
poses. The past year, the grass stand
ing rather thinly, he moved it twice
for hay, and permitted the third crop
to go to seed. The yield of hay was
seven tons, netting him $40 per ton,
and of seed 1,176 lbs, netting him 20
cents per pound, the whole crop of the
two acres yielding profit of 5000 20.
Besides he had of seed not clean
enough for market, what has sufficed
for him to SOW ten acres, and pair of
colts grazed the little field all summer
without perceptible damage to the
crop. The yield of hay is very mod
crate, but that of seed is large. Still,
without being extraordinary, the re-
suit is highly satisfactory as showing
under ordinary circumstances, the
profits that may be expected from this
crop. The patch Of alfalfa was never
irrigated.-[Kern Co. Courier.

CreenbackS.

We have just received a letter from
subscriber in Michigan, commend
ing our views on the greenback ques-
ton, and making few points that are
worthy Of consideration. Our cores
pendent thinks that Eastern people
are not any too willing to sacrifice ten
or twelve per cent of their entire cap
ital, after paying the exorbitant rail-
road fares required to get here, and
goes on to say that if We want ener-
getic men of small capital to settle in
our State and help develop it, we must
cease to levy such tax on them for
the privilege of becoming citizens.
He is right in assuring, as he does,
our people that they cannot adopt the
greenback currency moment too
soon. We are keeping population and
capital out of the State, and subject
ing ourselves to heavy tax all the
time. If the State will make all de-
mands owing to or by it, payable in
currency, it will not take very long to
introduce the greenbacks everywhere.
Capital would then flow in to be in.
vested in our mines, our petroleum,
manufactures, and farming, and an
era of prosperity would be Inaugural
ted, such as we have never before ex-
perienced. We need capital to devel-
ope our great agricultural and horti-
cultural resources. We need manu-
features, and there are thousand
other interests that capital alone will
vivify, but instead of inviting capital
by every means in our power, We
cling to the metallic currency, and
shut out the millions of Eastern funds
that would otherwise flow in and be
invested among us.

Accident TO a Stage.

The Kern County Courier of 10th
gives the following particulars of an
accident to the stage, i'll crossing the
Kern river:
The stage that left this place on the
Sd instant for Delano, met with seri-
GUS accident in crossing the river.
When the ferryboat reached the mid
die of the stream the leaders of the
stage team took fright. turned round
and forced the whole team into sud-
den retrograde movement that result
ed in precipitating both stage and
horses into the deep and rapid river.
1t happened to be one of those rare oc-
casions when there were very few pas
sengers. 1t happened that only two
passengers were inside the stage, both
active men, a third one having got
out when the stage drove on the boat.
The water was about six feet deep,
with a bottom of quick sand. The
stage rolled over and over, and was
carried some distance down the
stream. The passengers extricated
themselves with difficulty, one being
nearly drowned. One horse was
drowned, and all would have been but
for the bravery and presence of mind
of some unknown individual on the
opposite bank, who plunged in and
making his way among the struggling
horses, cut them loose with his knife
in time to save them all but one. As
sistance was procured from town as
soon as possible and the stage extricat-
ed. A good deal of damage was of
course done to baggage, express mat
ter and the mails. Nothing of any
importance was lost. One mail bag
foated down stream and was not re-
covered until two days afterwards. 1t
proved to be from Arizona. 1t was
fortunate there were no ladies and
children passengers. Had it been so
their death would have been inevita-
BILE. Only the day before there had
been an unusual proportion of this
kind of freight. The accident was the
result of neglect in not closing the
gates at the ends of the boat. The
craft itself is one of the largest, strong
est and safest of its kind, if the means
of security it affords are availed of.
Mr.. Thoms, representing the Stage
Company, promptly paid all damages
and satisfied everyone for services rem
dered, not forgetting liberal remu-
neratiOn to the man that saved the
horses.

IN speaking Of the c. uses Of the defeat
of Mr.. pRATT in this district, the Cleve
land TsoIor has thp follow ing:


of Mr.. l'RATr in this district, the Cleve
land Leader has the following
prAtt, Republican. IN the Toledo District, ran
I ,3Sj behind the ticket for Congress. Il WILL
Le remembered that Sherwood was defeated for
denomination by the warfare OF the Toledo
Wdde over the Toledo post flee. The cunven.
tion which nominated Pratt was made up in
part by a packed delegation from Toledo which
was secured BY unfair means, one hali Of the
Lucas county Republicans having been dsfran-
chiacd BY a trick in the county convention.
We trust the severe lesson taught by this eiec-
ton will teach the Toledo politicians o: the
Nasby school that tits unsafe to ttihe with the
franchise of citizsns, and that the Republican
maiorilies can only be maintained by allowing
the people q fair show in the primaries. The
miserable scramble over a second class post
office, which Nasby could not get, has cost Ohio
Republican member of Congress.
This had much to do with the result,
but it is not the sole cause. No party
cln stand the crucial test very long Of a
Treaslry Ring such as that in Lucas
county. People may like the privilege
of drinking beer, but there are mary who
do object to being taxed to build and op-
crate the Breweries and then have to pay
for the beer besides. But, the result
shows pretty clearly that the Ring, the
Brewery and all have followed the Treas
ury into the Democratic party, and If we
read the representations Alright there
will be opportunities for the, taxpayers
to look to what use their money is
applied in the future as in the past,

OHlciaI Returns for State, District
and County.

We produce this week the official re-
suit of the late election in Ol.io, also in
the Sixth District, and In Wood
county, making this number of the
paper sufficiently valuable to lay by fol
future reference. In connection with
these we produce some figures and com
ments below from the Cincinnati Gdzette,
which will be found of interest:
Tn. Dem ,cratic plurality over the Republi :.
can ticket is Ii, ,202, Last year ALLEN carried
the State by sos. The total vote last year was
4is,294; this wear it is 467 425. This is a
gain Of about 20 900. But even this years, vote
is far short of full vote. In November, 1872,
the State cast 529, ,426. Without allowing for
any increase Of the voting population, the vote
this year falls short Of a iull one by $4,000.
There was al the lowest estimate $4,000 voters
who did not 60 to the polls this year.
The vote last year and this was divided as
follows:

The Republican vote Is jnst 30 900 short OF
the vote Grant received in ~. The Democrat
10 vote is 6, 900 short OF that receive by Gree
ley.
The Prohibitonist vote has fallen Of from last
wear 1900. This undoubtedly represents the
number that went over tn the Republicans.
The independent vote of last year has wholly
disappeared. Most of it probably followed the
example set by the great Liberal chieftsin,
Gratz Brown, and went to the Democracy.
Using round numbers, it may be- safely put
down that of the increased Republican voc,
T4S7-2 200 came from the Prohibiti"nists. The
remainder, s. 900, came from the 6S, coo Repub-
licaus who did not vote in 1872.
The Democratic increase was %, ,95l. OF
this number {, 900 at least came from the lnde.
pendent vote of last year. The remaining IA.
900 were from the 80, 900 Democrats who did
not vote last year.
The important fact from these figures, is that
there is a vast reserve vote In Ohio that neither
ofthe last two elections has brought out. Last
wear we thought it was over confidence that
gave the victory to the Democracy. The large
rtay-at-home vote this year makes it look as il
it was Indifference much as over confidence
Are there really so 900 voters in Ohio who dom
care whether the Republican or Democratic
party triumphs?

NEW PEOPLE FOUND IN NEW MEXICO.
Chicago Times. Jolly 80

tSnCa2o Times, July ioJ
The campaign of Gen. Crook against the
Apaches, last ear, opened to research tract
of land 2O9 miles square, which is rich in
relics of our country'S unknown past. 1t con-
tains o chain of ancient cities in ruins and a
cotere of ancient towns still Inhabited by a
race which holds itself aloof from Indian and
Mexican and American, prides itself on its de-
scent from the ancient inh abitants of the coun-
try, and maintains religion and govern
ment, both of which are peculiar to itself. We
are indebted to Capt. w. G. Manning, of the
regular army, for the facts in our possession
concerning this newly discoyerea race. Capt.
Manning, who was with Gen. Crook during
the whole campaign, and was recommended
for promotion by the latter on account of gal
lantry in the field, explored in the intervals OF
fighting. He visited the Inhabited towns,
talked with their rulers, and Informed himself
concerning their customs.
The LARGEST settlement is in New Mexico,
about thirty miles south OF the border line. IL
is a type of the rest A strong wall surrounds
it. Within are houses for about 1000 people
The population has dwindled, however, to
about 1900. The place was mentioned by
Spanish Jesuit, who published in 1929, a de-
scription of his wauderings in America. About
1885, another Jesuit wrote Il minute account OF
it. This account is true, in nearly every de-
tail, to-day. The language resembles the Chi
nese So an ardent Archaeological, who visited
the city Q year ago, says. Some OF the minor
customs correspond to those OF the Chinese.
The women are of the Trne CeiestiAI tNpt-hl-
mopd eyes, protuberant bodies, little feet, etc
They r.ss their hair aud themselves il Chinese
fashion. Their religion ID bsrOar"msiy ulaGnl-
hcent MonteZuma 10 their deity his coming
is looked for at sunrise each day. Immortality
is part of their creed. Toe priests have heavily
embroidered robes, which have be'n Used for
uuuumhered years. The ceremonies OF Wor-
ship are formal and pnmpous. The morality
of this strange people, as far ut least as for
eigners are concerned, is irreproachable. 1t is
probable that they keep record OF events by
means of tying peculiar knots In long cords.
This if true seems to establish some kinship
or remote acquaintanceship between them aud
the Aztecs. Their government is a conserva.
tive republic. Power is vested in council of
thirteen caciQues. Six of them are selected for
life. Old men are generally chosen, IN order
that their terms of office may not be iDordi-
from time to time One of them is the Eexeu-
tive. Another is a sort of Vice President.
There is a War Chief, Chief of Police, ETC.
These seven caciques are usually young men.
They serve but few months. Suffrage is uni
