THE NEVADA AND OREGON RAIL-
ROAD.


From the San Francisco Chronicle We
learn that partial negotiations have been
effected between the directors OF the Cen
trail Pacific Railway Company and New
York capitalists, in reference to the pro-
posed railroad between Winnemucca,
Nevada, and Portland, Oregon. The
New Workers have agreed to build the
road from Portland to Winnemucca in
side of three years, provided they are guar
anteed these two conditions: First, that
the Oregon people will subscribe for
81, 500, 900 of tho stock to be paid when
the road is finished; second. that the
Winnemucca road shall procure from the
directors of the Central Pacific suffi-
cient guarantee that they will give the
Oregonians exactly the same rates. both
of fare and ireights. from Ogden over
the Central Pacific road to Winnemucca,
that they do to California. and that nc
discrimination shall exist in favor of Cal.
ifornia and to the detriment of Oregon
aud its interests. The second clause Is
to be in force for twenty years. The
proposition seems to us fair one fol
both sides; the subject has been under
discussion for some time, but the affair
not having assumed tangible shape as
yet, we defer further comment.

A test case has been brought up in the

New York, relating to the constitution
aity OF the new postage law The point
made by the applicant is this. He as
serts that the amendment to the postage
law is intended to increase the revenue,
that the measure originated in the Sem
ate and without constitutional authority
it being the prerogative of the House OF
Representatives to originate all measures
relative to the revenue, AID that conse
quently the postage law as it stands i.
illegal and unconstitutional. The amour
OF the issues involved will no doub

ORANGE AND GREEN.

The orangemen were landing from a ooa'

Cui bono? when man that was born
in Green Erin comes to this country, he'
by that action, CONTESTS his desire 10
better himself. and due amount OF re-
spect for the Republic and Its ins'i'u-
tons, should keep him from cracking
other peoples crowns because two rivai
kings fought on the Boyne over one
hundred and eighty years ago. fa'fiol-
ism is noble feeling, IN exalted seh'i :
ment and an emotion in the heart that
should always be cherished, but there
are foolish ways of showing it. A man
that is lover OF his native country and
DESTROYS for its good. will so act that his
country need never blush for him, and
will SO regard his country's good name
When Irishmen-no matter whether from
Cork or Belfast--realize this a little
more, we believe their natural good sense
and ideas of what is due to others, will
lead them to pay more attention to the
unwritten-yet none the less imperative
law OF their adopted country.

COMSTOCK'S FATE.

We have received the following from a
gentleman who is well known to many
on the Pacific Coast, and entirely con-
versant with the facts of which he briefly
writes
.... PIocnE, July II, 1875.
EDITOR RECORD: The communioa-
tons in reference to the probable fate Of
Henry Comstock, of Washoe fame, are
surprising in view Of the uncertainty ex-
pressed concerning the death of one,
whose name will grace the lists OF i'm
mortality when those of statesmen now
famous will slumber in oblivion.
To be brief in my statement. During
the Summer Of 1870 an expedition, con-
sisting of about one hundred and fifty
men, started from Denver, the object
being the exploration of the Black Hills.
With that expedition went Henry Com
stock, then fresh from prospecting
tour in New Mexico. ....
The expedition proved barren Of re-
suits, and the party disbanded in Mon
tana. A majority of those composing it
returned to Colorado and their haunts
along the line of the U. P. II. r. Others
scattered through Montana, Comstock
remaining in Bozeman. The great pros
pector here gave evidence OF the hypo-
chondria ascribed to him by familiar &C.
qualntances years before; II conditian

A YOUNG man named Torger Thomp-

morning from Milwaukee, where he had

at the nose while passing down Buffalo
street, and it was with the greatest diff

stop tin fact, they did not until he
was SO overcome by the loss of blood
that he became insensible. It was a
narrow escape from death for him, and
it was thought at one time that nothing
would avail to save him. The following
day he had recovered sufficiently to be
removed to his home in the town of
Gibson in this county.

Mr.. Jos. EDWARDS, mate of the scow
Blue Belle, had a narrow escape from
instant death, Monday afternoon. While
engaged in hauling up the center board
of the vessel, large block at the mast
head, weighing twenty-five or thirty
pounds, became detached, and falling,
struck him slanting blow on the head
and shoulder. He was standing at the
time on the top Of deck load of cord
wood, and the force Of the blow hurled
him to the deck below, a distance of
about eight feet, where he was picked
up in an insensible condition and convey
ed to his home. Medical assistance was
summoned, and an examination showed
that, besides some severe bruises, no
material injury was sustained, and Mr..
Edwards will be about again in week.
It WAS close call, for had the block
struck him squarely on the head it would
have crushed it to Jelly.

CHANGE OF FoRM.-As will be readily
observed, The TRIBUNE is issued this
week slightlyreducedi in size and changed
III form. This action on our part has
been brought about by the necessity for
greater economy in its publication, es-
pecially in these times when every one,
III whatever branch of business, is re-
ducing his expenses and 'Egetting along"
with as little outlay as possible. For a
long time THE Tribune has been one of
the largest and most costly papers in the
State aud while we took great pride in
its handsome appearance, the fact never
the less forced itself upon us that the
community in which it was published
was not willing to maintain it on so ex-
tensive a scale, and rather than adopt
the 'Epatent outside" system, we have
concluded, for the present at least, to
reduce its cost, and by greater attention
to its editorial conduct, make UP in a
measure, for its lack of size. Many Of
the most Influential papers in the State
those Of Sheboygan, Racine, James
vile, Eau Claire and La Crosse among
then-are the same size as our paper
now is; and while we greatly regret our
inability to continue it on larger scale,
we hope our readers will see the neces-
sity which compells us to take the step
we have and continue their patronage as
heretofore, with the assurance that, as
soon as the times will admit, il shall be
changed back to its old shape and size.
