HAVE WE CHIEF JUSTICE.

We present the case in the form OF an
interrogatory, for fear that even the
gentleman whose nomination was sent
to tho Senate on Monday may not be
confirmed. Our dispatches announcing
the nomination of Morrison r. Waite,
of Toledo, Ohio, as the successor of Jay,
Marshall, fancy and Chase, give q brief
sketch of the appointee's antecedent his.
tory, and unless something rejecting
upon his integrity or questions as to his
fitness should arise, as in the cases of
Conkling and Williams, or unless, on the
other hand, some written or spoken express
sion in bygone days should be brought
to light which might cause a doubt of his
loyalty, nit is not improbable that the
Senate will confirm the nomination. A
confirmation would certainly bring relief
to the Presidents mind.

SILVER MINING. The following from
the Salt Lake Tribune, applies with as
much force 10 Phoebe as to Utah. Aitei
stating the enormous yield OF Nevaha
min,s S, the Tribune says:
But il should be taken into considera-
ton, that some of the mines on the Com
s.ccy lode have been developed to
depth Of two thousand feet, and scarcely
any Of them are down less distance
than one thousand feet from the surface.
The immense amount Of labor expended
on these properties since 1853, when the
first discoveries were made, has opened
thoroughly, and the richest portions OF
the ledge have been traced out and thor
ou2hly prospected down to the present
levels. In order 10 do this, millions oil
capital had to be expended, and the cost
hest and most perfect mining machinery
in the world erected, and the leading
companies are now reaping the leglIi-
mate fruits of their enterprise.
There is scarcely mine III Utah
down distance Of eight hundred feet
and most of The leading mines In the
Territory are getting ore from near the
surface. There ART 10 steam hosting
works or other facilities for deep mining,
and, in a word, the Development OF
mines in Utah. has just commenced.
The famous Gould L Curry mine, in
Virginia City, expended assessments to
the amour, OF $500 foot before 1t paid
dividend, and yet this mine alone has
yielded not far from $50, 100000, and is
believed to be as rich in its lower levels,
as it was found to be in those above.
Silver mining requires the labor OF
years and heavy outlay of capital be-
fore deep lodes are thoroughly deyel-
oped and begin to pay enormously. 1t
was nearly four years after the discovery
of the Comstock before the mines began
TO turn out bullion in quantities, which
have given it worldwide reputation.
In the light of these facts. the yield OF
5000, 900 last year from Utah, with our
limited developments, is "a splendid
showing, and it may be safely predicted,
that the time is not far distant, when
this Territory will take front rank
among the silver producing regions OF
the Pacific Coast

ANOTHER OLD LANDMARK ~ GoNE.-
The value of the Pennsylvania October
election. preceding the Presidential cleo
ton. in political calculations, had been
rising steadily for years past. Once it
was considered to be very good indica-
ton as to how the Presidential election
would go. But OF late years it has come
to be regarded as almost decisive. The
tendency was very strong that in time
Presidential elections would be absolute
ly decided in that State one month in ad-
vance of their occurrence. But the peo-
pie of Pennsylvania, in the Constitution
which they have recently adopted by an
uprising as remarkable as it was signit-
cant, have abolished the October election.
The politicians will, therefore, no longer
have the guidance which the preliminary
struggle in that great State always fur
nished. Next time Pennsylvania will be
a blank for them. The motives by which
the people were actuated in this step
are plain enough. Their State had
become the battle ground of the
Union. The stake was SO great
that frauds of the most gigantic nature
were practised. The result was that
Pennsylvania was in fair way of losing
her liberties altogether. A system of bal
lot-box stuffing had grown up which alb
solutely set at defiance public opinion.
Men who had been connected with or
implicated in the most barefaced transac-
tons were elected to Office by large ma
jorities. The "ring' at Harrisburg was
VIGOROUSLY the most ruffianly and bare
faced combination in the country. New
York itself, with all its corruptions,
not excepted. Nor will the benefit
from the abolition of the October
Pennsylvania election be confined to that
State alone. 1t will be an advantage to
the country when that large class of char
acterless people, who invariably go with
the strong side. when they can find out
which it is, are deprived of the light and
guidance which this preliminary skirmish
furnished. II will be much better when
every citizen has to determine for him
self how be should vote in Presidential
election. There is law of stampede
which comes into operation, sometimes
in elections as well as in corrals. There
is always strong tendency to follow the
crowd. But this is not a good law to
develop and foster. 1t is the foe of inde-
pendent thought, manliness, and pubic
dnty. We shall therefore take leave Of
the Pennsylvania October election, with
out many regrets. 1t is well that it is
abolished.-[S. +. Bulletin.

The ST.. GEORGE TEMPLE.-We learn
that the Temple at st. George is pro-
crossing finely, the foundation being
about completed. A large force OF men
probably hundred and fifty-are
working vigorously on the structure,
making the vicinity ring from morning
till night with their sturdy blows, and
imparting an air of liveliness and cheer
fullness to the town. When finished the
building will be an imposing one, the
walls being entirely Of rock and put to-
gether in the most substantial and work
manlike manner; neither labor nor e1-
pense will be spared to make it complete
in every respect. We understand that it
is the intention to have the edifice COM
pleted during the Summer Beaver
Enterprise.

THK REsu1r OF TIE PoLrrIcAL YKAn.-

The REsULr OF THE PoLrrIcAL YEAR.
The Lynehburg News says:
Tie result of the political year is. the
Democrats have regained power in Ohio.
in New YORK, in Oregon, and in Wiscon-
sin--a State which has been Republican
since the organization Of that party, and
has firmly established its old time pre-
dominance in historic Virginia and
Maryland. To-day the Democratic party
is constitutional opposition, and is in
a position to vigorously contend for con-
troll of the National Government. This
is more than partisan victory. 1t is a
public gain. With a powerful, vigorous
and vigilant opposition the party in
power must purify itself or perish. Ac-
cor,ling to the use the Democrats make
of their opportunities will be the success
of their party. Simplicity, economy.
AMI honesty in the administration Of
Federal and State affairs are demanded
by the people. Let the Democracy exert
all the influence they possess TO bring to
a close the era of venality. Then will
the country feel that this party of the
people deserves the confidence which has
been reposed in it, and three years hence
give it the control Of national affairs.

AN IMMENSE BORE,

We have received from Professor NJ.
F. Walton, of Hamilton. White Pine
county. the outlines of scheme for bor-
ing hole through White Pine mountain,
from north TO south, somewhere near the
base, Of sufficient capacity for railroad
purposes" The Professor, however,
fails to inform us whether or not he in
tends TO construct a railroad to meet his
tunnel at both ends, and if so, 20 what
points it is designed to run. If be con-
templates having railroad as well as q
tunnel through the mountain and the
railroad is intended to come this way
and connect US with the cute world then
We give the Professor our hand and will
take million or so of his unassessable
stock Subscription list at this office,
where others msy follow our example,.
1t may be as well, however, to state right
here that those who subscribe for stock
are not expected to furnish the means
necessary to bore the hole through the
mountain, but the object of the subscrip-
ton is to enable the Professor to make a
pilgrimage to Washington, where he will
first experiment as borer by boring
Congress for grant and franchise for a
hole, and financial aid in boring it. This
scheme, therefore, contemplates three
bores: First, he will bore the honest toll
ers for means to take him to Washington
second, he will bore Congress to
grant him material aid to carry
out his scheme, and then he will bore
the mountain itself. If the Professor 5
tunnel is intended TO promote railroad
connection between Phoebe and the cUun-
try TO the northward, We would most
respectfully suggest that he include Pat
terson Mountain also. Both of these
mountains being tunneled near their base,
which would not take to exceed twenty
or thirty miles OF tunnel, the remainder
of the work would bs comparatively
easy. 1t wonld not require to exceed
$50, 0O0,0 coo to tunnel both these noun
tains, and our theory is that in these de-
generate days Of Congressional stealing,
the more you ask, and the larger the
sum you propose to steal from the Fed
eral Treasury, the more certain the
chances of success.
The language of the contract with sub
scribers is little obscure, and fails to
state with exactness the object for which
the tunnel is to be bored, or for what
purpose il is to be used when completed;
bu; as it is stipulated that it shall be of
railroad capacity, We think we are justi.
fed in believing that the Professor not
only intends to make hole through the
mountain of railroad capacity" bat
that he also intends to build railroad
to connect with his tunnel at both ends.
If we are correc. in our conjsctures OF
the interests OF our citizens, we would
most respectfully invite them to come
forward and contribute literally to aid
the Professor in his lauiable enterprise

small boy waiting to take your names

CHRONOLOGICAL REMEpIEs.---It is init
mated by writer in one of the medical
journals that, not improbably, the insect
remedies which bore so important part
in the "materia medica" of former times
may again be resorted to-such are the
changes and mutations which character
ize medical practice. 1t is well known
that, in bygone days, they were admins
tered with as much confidence in their
efficacy as is now given to the medical
plants of the garden, or the tinctures Of
the apothecary. They were generally
given in the form of pills. Five gnats
were equal to three grains Of calomel; a
lady-bug was sovereign remedy for collie
and plague; ants were considered TO be
invaluable against measles. and cock
chater for hydrophobia and for the lep-
rosy; and other bugs were used with sim
liar assurance, for various disorders.

INDIAN AGENT INGALLS, The Beaver
Enterprise has the following dispatch
from st. George, dated the 18th:
Settlers from the Muddy say Ingalls,
has secured an appropriation of $50, 900
to buy out claims on the Muddy, for an
Indian reservation. Most of the water
bitches and claims OF any value there
We're made by Mormons before leaving.
What portion of this will they receive?
Commenting on this dispatch, the En-
tsrprise says:
ingalls, has been acting very mysteri-
onsly in the discharge of his duties, but
there is chance for him to redeem him
self. As far as we are able to understand
it. the $50, 900 he is reported as having
got hold OF and much more will be
needed to reimburse the settlers of the
Muddy for the improvements they have
made there. Now, let it be definitely as
certained what amount ingalls, does re-
ceive, and when he makes his disburse-
ments let the people compare notes and
see how the aggregate sum they are paid
and the appropriation correspond. We
don't question ingalls, honesty--oh, no!
not for a minute; but business is bust
ness, and if he gives the people all he re.
ceives from Washington. they can no
longer hold him responsible. Land rob-
berries and swindlss are not only very
old, but correspondingly unpopular.

The law in Michigan regulating the
sale Of kerosene oil condemns as unfit for
use all oil which will fash when heated
to one hundred and fifty degrees Fahren-

that very little Of the oil sold even when
labeled at one hundred and sevsnty.fve
degrees, will stand the legal test.

MARRIAGE IN UTAH.-The message of
Governor Woods to the Utah Legislative
Assembly reveals the singular fact that
no one in the Territory is authorized to
solemnize the marriage ceremony. The
Governor says.
In my message to the Legislative Assem-
bly,, at its session in 1872, ! urged that
body to enact law upon the subject
of marriage; but regret to to say that
nothing was done. There is now no one
in this Territory authorized by law to
unite persons in wedlock. That there
should be is apparent to all. And l
recommend that all ministers of the
Gospel, regularly ordained as such, and
all Judges Of the Courts OF Record, and
all Justices of the Peace, be authorized
by law to pronounce the marriage cere-
mony. The marriage relation lies at the
foundation of all good society; and
doubt not that you will agree with me,
that all rights, incident to that sacred
relation, should be clearly defined and
firmly established by plain and posi-.
tive statute, and l hope that it will be
done az tllS session. W nile 1 90 not
wish to present to you in detail, the
many features that should be contained
il the law, you will permit me to suggest,
that, in my Judgment, marriage Ii
cense should be required of all persons
before they can be united in wedlock.
which license should be issued by the
County Clerk of the county in which the
parties reside, requiring such Clerk to
keep record OF all such licenses issued
by him. l would also require all per-
sons uniting parties in wedlock TO furnish
the County Clerk with certificate OF
such marriage, to be recorded by him in
n book kept for that purpose. Aud il
would be well to make it crime for any
person to unite parties in marriage who
have not first procured a license therefor

COMFORT FOR THE LEFT HANDED. -
Why should it be considered impolte
or awkward to use the left hand 2"
Looking at the question apparently as if
the answer is lone OF those things no
fellow can find out" children are practi-
cally taught that the left hand is the only
thing in creation for which there is no
use. There may be no physiological
reasons why men should have natural
tendency to give most use to the right
hands, or the tendency may be only her.
editary, but even though there are ply
siological reasons for the ordinary use Of
the right hand in holding pen. hammer,
jackplane, or sword, there could be no
sound objection to the use at will Of
either hand at all kinds of work The
advantage of having two hands equally
skilled or trained is similar to that Of
having two strings to ones bow, for at
any time the "other" may be the only
one available. As to awkwardness, the
man might just as well be considered
awkward who can only use one hand
with skill, let it be either the right or the
left hand
