More Trouble In A.n.n,ee.

LIVELY TIMES IN GoLp HnL.-Con-
stable Harkin and his deputies have been
having lively times here since Saturday
evening. On Saturday night two men,
with a superabundanco Of tangle-foot on
board, had a little difficulty and wound
up in the calaboose. Another, q Ger
man, was found half-aslecp, half-drunk,
and when taken in expressed himself as
follows: "Mein Gott, vat you means,
Ell? l yust along init you to take
Won trink. und den you locks me up
vot Won kind OF a guntry isdisi" Last
night two men got TO scuiiing in a
friendly manner on Main street, but
soon turned friendship into the reverse,
and pummsled each other in the most
approved style. They also were pro-
vided with free lodgings. Still another
started in with an overload OF sheep
herders' delight, to find some pugna-
cious individual on whom he could try
his hand in quelling. He found one
about . o'clock this morning. He got
hold OF the wrong man, however, and
was the most abused looking specimen
Of the genus homo that has occupied
quarters at the towns expense for a
long time. Justice Wright started in to
dispose OF four cases Of dlsorderly con-
duct and three for violating town ordi-
nances, at three O'Clock this afternoon.

Der OF the Washington Guard Brass
Band. lost the mouth-piccc OF his brass
instrument last Saturday evening in
Gold Hill. and offers q suitable reward
for its recovery. SEQ advertisement

II would be an utter impossibility to
gather the same number Of people to-
gether that attended the Virginia Miners
Union picnic, and not have an accident
occur. Such was found TO be the case
in this instance. Mr.. John Cooley, Of
Virginia, was carrying in his arms his
little daughter; when nearing the swings
his attention was attracted from them TO
some other object and one Of the swings,
while in motion. struck the little one in

PICNIC OF THE VIRGINIA MIN.
ERs' UNION.

As advertised, the Virginia Miners
Union held their annual picnic at tho
Bowers Mansion, in washoe Valley,
last Saturday. Prompt at 7:i5 the vir-
ginia train left the depot, and upon ar
irving at Gold Hill was here joined by
our train. No train has ever passed
over the Virginia and Truckee Railroad
OF thirty-six cars containing as many
happy souls as that OF the miners pic
mic, and the Bowers Mansion and
grounds V furnished as much solid
enjoyment to the same number OF peo-
pie, it being the largest picnic ever held
there, oven eclipsing the Pioneers in
point Of numbers.
The Trip Down.
The downward trip was made with the
assistance OF Ave Of the most powerful
locomotives on the road, and AZ tho
trains passed the different hosting
works along the line the picnicers were
loudly choered by tho unfortunatss ro-
naming at home. Whistles were blown,
hats, handkerchiefs. and even shirts
were waved by enthusiastic well-wishers
On passing the Rock Island, sx-Goyern-
or Blasdel marshaled his men in line,
and three hearty cheers and n tiger were
given and received from the excursion
lists by them.
On the Grounds
The different trains arrived safely of
the Bowers Mansion without accident
or incident to mar the pleasure OF the
trip. and the vast mass OF jubilant hu.
manity made a break for the mansion
and grounds. Many cloths were spread
upon the grass and rocks in the shade.
and happy parties gathered around them
to discuss the various viands thereon
placed. and all went Emery as a mar
rage bell" The Washington Guard
Band took up their position on the mu-
sic stand at the dancing pavilion. and
Prof. Dan Lyons, after lunch, superin-
tended in his usual happy n the
lovers Of the tsrpsicorean art. Thore
was no lack Of music. for virginia's ar
lists, consisting OF the electricity man
and one or two others, "picked the old
banjo" much to thedelight OF listeners.
There was also u Highlander from En-
pire, who stood ON the upper balcony Of
the mansion and piped old familiar airs
for the delectation Of his countrymen,
and called back to their recollection
many other festive scenes OF like char
acter in which they had participated in
the old country. The flying horses
served to please tho little ones i'm
Intensely. Pa and Ma, and brother John
and sister Jane had no peace until the
rising generation under their charge
had had "just n ride, please" In a
remote part Of the ground. several par
ties engaged in the old-fashioned game

limbs were dislocated, and even then a

WESTERN DISPATCHES

National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1874-10-07
THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS.

Tuesday next elections will be held N
Ohio Indians, Iowa and Nebraska for
State officers and members Of Congress.
Pennsylvania, under her new constitution,
drops out of the October list, so that this
year we shall miss the political direction
which the result of the contest IN her Dor
ders gave to the rest Of the Union.
In Ohio there seems to be no doubt that
the Republican party will recover the su-
premacy it lost last year. The State has
been carried by the Republicans since 1852
with the exception of two elections.
In Indiana the situation is considerably
mixed up, and it is almost impossible 10
form an opinion as to the result. In Octo-
Der, 1872, Mr.. Hendricks was elected Gov
ernOr, but in the following November it
gave Gen. Grant q, 900 majority.
The Democrats Of Iowa have made no
nominations, but are supporting what is
called the s1ti-monopoly ticket In 1872
the Republican majority was 10000. There
is no doubt that Iowa will record her YER
dict in favor Of the same party next week.
In Nebraska there are four tickets in the
field, and, as may be naturally supposed,
there is some doubt as to the result
Arkansas will vote upon her new consti-
tuition the same day; but will not vote for
members of Congress until November.
In West Virginia there will be an cleo
ton for members of Congress and a Legis-
lature, which will choose a successor to
MI Foreman.

better accept it than allow the present ten.
porary government to continue. When
Congress adjourns next March we shall
have large number OF new men the fol
lowing December to pass upon our future.
The present body is in measure familiar
with our affairs, and can more intelligently
legislate for us than the new Congress,
many of whose members will then have
seen the city for the first time. All who
value the interests Of the city, and who
feel any pride in its future, should labor to.
the one end next December of securing the
best form that can be secured, of changing
our provisional for q permanent govern
ment. If at the end of year the new
scheme does not work, if its operation shall
prove it to be in-Suited to our wants, we can
move to have it abolished or amended. But
the great need now is to obtain something
that seems, if it is not, permanent.

TIE Dirty BEFORE us

In about seven weeks the short session of
Congress will have begun, and in less than
three months from that date it will have
come to an end. Counting the holiday
recess out, there will not be much more
than nine working weeks in which to per
form the immense amount Of business be-
fore 1.-THE appropriation bills, the financial
and the purely political questions Of the
day, to which, undoubtedly, large share
of attention will necessarily have to be
given. But the most important question,
so far as we as a community are concerned,
is the form of government which our SOW
cTeign rulers at the Capitol will have to de-
wise for us. According to the best infOrma-
lion upon the subject, the joint committee
intrusted with the subject will be ready to
report the first week of the session, so that
if no Instructions are placed in its way
there is a fair chance Of some measure be
ing passed.
Al that we know upon the subject we
have already given 10 our readers, viz
that the committee is in favor of governing
the District by commission, of reducing
the tax to about two per cent, and of pro
Tiding for the assumption of portion of
the expense of the city by the General
Government The details of the plan have
not come into our possession beyond what
we have, stated What we wish to sag
Cest, however, is that all who have the in
tcrests of the city at heart should work to
the end of securing a permanent form of
government, and Of abOlishing the present
temporary arrangement. We do not mean
to reflect upon the present Commission.
They are doing as well probably as could
be expected under the circumstances of
their appointment and of the situation Of
affairs; but fit was as satisfactory as it could
be, it would still. because Of its temporary
character, be Objectionable Our people
desire to know definitely what is 10 be done
and how they are to be governed. As long
as the present instability and incertitude
continue, we needn not expect any very great
change for the better in our affairs. Real
estate will continue dull ard inactive; those
who may contemplate settling among US
will be deferred tberefrOm, and the growth
and progress Of the city will be retarded in
numerous ways Washington cannot now
afford to halt in the line that has been
marked out for her. We believe our re-
sources are ample to carry on a judicious
and economical system of Improvements,
so that we may attract immigration as we
have been attracting it for the last five Or
six years. We must take no steps back
ward.
Irrespective of past differences and dis
sensions. our citizens should unite in UNI
raveling the present tangle and in getting
out of the unfortunate and anomalous posi-
ton in which we are placed. As we said,
the time is very short, and even one man
in Congress, instigated by a faction, win
have it in his power TO postpone for year,
or perhaps longer, all and any extrication
from our difficulties. If we do not get the
exact form of government to suit us now

THE sneak thieves who rifed Gov. KEEL
logg's private apartments during the tenn
pOraTy ascendency of the rebel "Gov. "
Penn have published to the world dis
covery that he had expended $25, 900 in
the purchase of arms. This terrible accu-
sation is somewhat shorn Of its bloody
significance when the fact is known that
the arms were bought for the regularly
organized State militia. But the further
fact should not be forgotten that the White
Leaguers expended over $500, 600 in arm
ing their illegal organizations.
