wANTED-A STATESMAN.

Vice President Wilson thinks that one
of the sorest needs of the times is great
statesman. The Sage Of Natick is right.
Since the days of Clay, Webster and the
rest of the intellectual giants who were
their contemporaries, no one has arisen
to public prominence who were able to
occupy the places vacated by the illustri-
GUS dead. The public men, who for
years have filled the great Offices of the
country and taken the lead in its coun.
ellis, have only been remarkable for one
quality. that is of being able to make
great fortunes from positions out of
which honest men would not have been
able to make more than would afford a
modestly respectable living. Under the
present regime the aim of every official
and public man has been to get rich. be.
ing quite indifferent as to the means pro-
vided the one great end was accomplished.
Under this sordd and vile inspiration
that has so long prevailed, it is not likely
that the lofty views and aims so neces.
sary to form great statesman were at
all likely to be entertained or pursued.
Since the elevation of Grant, and even
before, self-denying public virtue, ex-
allied patriotism, enlarged and broad
rules of conduct, have all been jeered
and scoffed at by q herd of mercenaries,
who availed themselves of the vast
political power that accidentally fell into
their hands, to amass great fortunes
while the interests of the country were
10 more thought of than the well.being
Of Polynesia. 1t is time that this horde
of base plunderers was driven from
place and power. and men invited to
assume the control of affairs, who will
make the benefit, the honor and glory
of the country their chief aim to advance.
1t is no matter to which party they may
belong, provided they are honest, incor-
ruptible and capable of shaping the des-
TIMES of the nation firmly, wisely and

LAST night a few minutes after eleven
O'Clock, the passenger train from this
city to Reno ran into drove OF horses
at Ophir Creek, q short distance beyond
Franktown. The train was going at full
speed at the time, and had narrow es-
cape from being thrown off the track.
The horses were near the mouth of the
bridge that spans the creek, and becom-
ing frightened by the approach of the en-
CINE, they ran upon the trestle-work.
The openings between the timbers were
not wide enough to allow them to fall
through, and ithey lay struggling when
the locomotive dashed upon them. Two
Of them were crushed to pieces under the
wheels of the engine, and two others,
badly crippled, were carried upon the
pilot distance of a quarter of q mile.
When the train was stopped it was found
that several others vera f6at it would
Iured that fInercy to kill them on the
spot. One was shot and the sufferings
of two others were terminated by knock
ing them in the head with an Ak. In all
seven horses and two mules were killed
by the accident.-[ Virg. Chronicle, II.

ANOTHER CARPET--BAG BRAW-
LER.

And now another thieving carpet-bag-
ger comes to the surface in the person of
Volney V. Smith, elected Lieutenant
Governor of Arkansas in 1871, who
claims that by the resignation of Govern
or Baxter, that he (Smith) of right be-
comes Governor. Like every other car.
pet-bag scoundrel who ever disgraced
himself and oppressed the South, Smith
appeals to Grant for recognition. That
is just where the whole trouble comes in.
These carpet-bag vagabonds, for years,
have always appealed to the authorities
at Washington for moral and military
support, and 80 far they have got it.
These freebooting wretches cared moth
ing for American liberty, the rights of
the States or the Constitution; all they
cared for was to become secured in the
offices they had seized by fraud, bribery
or any other vile method. That done,
the opportunity was given them to steal,
and if they did not improve it, it was be-
cause OF the visitation of God, or some
other insurmountable obstacle. The
Administration, or rather the President, for
so far the members Of his cabinet have
been mere registering clerks; the Presi-
dent has never failed to answer the ap.
peal on some excuse or other, has sent
United States troops to support these
thieves in their stealing or protect them
from the consequences of their villainies.
We now wait with some curiosity to see
the result OF the application from another
of these treble-dyed rascals, V. V. Smith,
OF Arkanras. 1t is well known the Pres
ident derides and disdans an expression
of the popular will, and takes particular
pains to show his disregard for it, but
the temper of the people as shown at the
late elections, was too Enthusiastically hos
tile for Grant, not to observe it and
heed the admouition. Under the circum-
stances. We think it is very likely that
the President will not recognize this fell
low Smith or any other Inherent conf.
dence man as the executive OF Arkansas,
unless they were duly elected by the
people. Grant is slow. obtuse obstinate
and self-opinionsted, but the drift Of
popular opinion is so apparent that even
he can see it, and even he will doubtless
see the advsability of not attempting to
thwart it. If he does, that hint of i'm
parchment given by the New York Her
aid, might possibly receive substantial
verifcation.

YESTERDAY morning the forward Sleep
ing car on the westward bound passenger
train caught fire three miles from Reno.
The fire caught in the roof of the car
from the stovepipe. The accident caused
considerable commotion and consterna-
ton among the passengers, and they
were speedily aroused from their slum-
ber.. The train was quickly brought to
halt, and the sleeper was detached. As
soon as the safety of the passengers in
the car was assured, Conductor Hugh
Darrah seized an AK and proceeded to
cut out the burning portion of the roof
of the car, and with the assistance of the
passengers and brakemen the fire was
soon extinguished. The damage to the
car was slight, and the train was delayed
only about thirty minutes by the acct
dent. When the alarm was first given

state-room fell out and was severely but

GRANT VS.. FIELD.

Judge Field has for many years held
foremost position among the iurists OF
the country. He filed the position OF
Justice on the Supreme Bench of Cali
fornia most acceptably. His decisions
stand to-day as models OF sound law,
couched in terss but elegant language.
From this high position this eminent
lawyer passed to another still more dis
tinguished, for he became and is still one
of the Justices of the Supreme Court OF
the United States. This is the record
of Judge Field, who lately delivered an
opinion, concurred in by his associate
Judges. that the State law OF California
prohibiting the importation OF certain
Chinese was an infraction of the treaty
with China, which was beyond the pow
er of the State to touch. Now mark ye,
comes a second Daniel, another Solo,
mon, who SOLVES the legal problem as
readily as he would light fresh cigar.
The kilograms of November 10, tell US
that " Congressman Page, of California,

CHICKEN AND Eco EATERS BEWARE
The Salt Lake Tribune SAYS:

For some time past malady unknown
to the doctors of poultry has afflicted the
the chickens OF this vicinity, and as a
consequence the demand for this branch
of the feathered tribe has fallen below
zero. The birds appear at first to suffer
from sort of paralysis in the wings, fol-
lowed by loss Of appetite, and finally
ending in commissions. which prove fatal.
1t is ascertained that the eating of those
infected chickens conveys the disease
into human system, producing intense
suffering and danger Of life; and the
eggs of the diseased fowls have been
found to be impregnated with some nox-
ious substance, which not only renders
them unfit for use as separate article of
food, but in pastry the eggs are very
dangerous. Whatever this pestilence is,
it would be well for the heads of families
to refrain from the use Of eggs and
chickens until the malady shall have dis

AN UNMTTIGATED scOUNDREL.

A man that seduces a too confding
girl is always held by decent people to
be a villain. A clergyman that avails
himself of his position to cause female |
member Of his congregation to yield to
his libidinous desires, is deemed to be |
hypocritical scoundrel that ought to be
at once unfrocked and then compelled to
answer for his misdeeds. This is all so;
but what should be done with wretch
who commits these offences, causes his
victim to be hurried to Premature grave,
and then stands up before his fellow
man and defames the wretched victim OF
his lust, while her corpse lies cold, stark
and helpless in its grave? Is it possible
for human infamy to reach q lower
depth, more fathomless profound. than
that committed by this villainous Glen
denning, who stands up before the
Jersey City Presbytery and "testifes at
length regarding his relations with Misc
Pomeroy. She had confessed to him
that she was unchaste, and had given
him the names of several men to whom
she had yielded. He produced another

THE WAY An OLD BOOTY WAS
TRAPPED,

Another old gentleman has been making
a BOBBY Of himself, and will probably
have to pay for the exhibition. A year or
two ago little girl IL years of age, while
soliciting subscriptions to art publications,
attracted his notice. He looked upon and
loved her. He even told her that, when
she had outgrOwn her pinafore and short
frOclzs, he would make her his wife. She
told him she was very much Obliged, and
would instantly prepare for the ceremony.
She accordingly went to school to learn
sufficient arithmetic to calculate butchers
bills and count the number of her prospect
i've step-children, for be it known there
were many OF them. When she had mastered
the rudiments of photography, arithmetic
and 'chirography, she returned to her ayOca-
ton of sOliciting subscriptions. Her ancinet
lover renewed his VOWS, and on one Occa-
sion, while accompanying her TO his house,
placed ring upon her finger, telling her
they were now legally man and wife. She
required public wedding with white satin
and lace overskirt, orange blossoms, bride
cake, and things, but he confessed that his
hOusekeeper, with whom he was unduly
intimate, would object to any nonsense Of
this kind. He subsequently wrote her,
addressing her as his 'dear wife,"
and signing himself HyOur husband"
For months she practiced deep
tiOn upon her loving mother, until
one day feeling came over her and she
confessed all. There was an interview.
The ring was returned to the aged man,
but the letter was retained for evidence.
Now, . suit for breach of promise is pend
ing against John b. Holmes, Civil En-
gineer, brought by law firm in behalf Of
May Chamberlayne, a minor. Damages
are set at 100000, and, as the old gentle
man is wealthy, the little scheme for rails
ing the wind is likely to prove profitable.

one, under similar circumstances, sees so
often among our American women. In
this direction, true mOdesty is on the side
Of the French woman. She then looks and
acts as if she had no knOwlede Of evil,
while her American sister seems to betray
the fact that she is in the pOSseSsesSion OF

will be Of great advantage TO our American
fair sex.
