NEVADA AT THE CENTENNIAL. We
meekly and without comment repro
duce the following from the local side of
yesterdays Enterprise
C. C Stevenson, President of the Ne
vada Board Of Centennial Commission
era, left last r u. for Philadelphia. He
expects to be absent about thirty days,
and goes to 'ae measures to secure
such an ALL ut of room as Nevada is
likely to require, He says from what
he can find out our State is likely to be
cut of with less space than has in many
instances been allotted to private par
ties. The managers OF the business in
Philadelphia are already beginning to
say they don't see how We are going to
have room for our quartz mill unless we
put up o building on purpose for it
somewhere on the grounds. and for our
other products they seem to think that
all We want is a showcase in some cor
ner. Mr.. Stevenson says it is the inten-
ton to set up at the exhibition battery
of five stamps. with q pan and settler.

section of i've stamps is to b run about

in actual use on the Comstock range.

Washington, Jan. 9.-Gen. Sheridan
telegraphs tn Secretary Belknap late
last evening, advising him OF the send
ing Of n report Of the occurrences at
the organization OF the Legislature on
January 4th, and says he did not
assume command until nine O'Clock
that night, but fully endorses and is
willing to be held responsible for the
acts OF the military as conservators OF
the public peace ON that day. He
says that during the few days he was
in the city, prior to the 4th inst, the
general topic of conversation WIS the
scenes of bloodshcd that were liable to
occur on that day, and that lie re-
peatedly heard threats to assassinate
the Governor, and regrets expressed
that he was not killed ON the I4th OF
last September; also threats of assas-
sination of the Republican members

Washington, January 1O.-Thc sub
committee of the House special com

have been investigating matters in
Louisiana, returned here last night.
Its members, Foster, Phelps and Potter,
are retieent pending the presentation
of their views to the full committee,
and the maturing and making of its
report to the House, but enough is
known to authorize the statement
that there is no conflict of opinion
among the subcommittee as to the
principal points in controversy. The
action Of the returning board in throw
ing out the returns of certain parishes
in which conservatives were elected,
and in giving certificates to some Re
publicans who We're not elected, will
be condemned as an illegal ard un-
warrantable exercise of authority.
the testimony taken does not sustain
the charges of violence and intimida-
tion towards the negro voters, but
rather tends to establish the fact that
large number of negroes voted the
Democratic ticket from a conviction
that in so doing they advanced their
own interest and the interests of the
State. II is = mere matter of conjec-
ture what course OF policy the COM
mittee viii recommend, but the prob
abilities are that they will bring action
for new election.
1t is reported in well informed circles,
and it was stated tonight that Secre-
tary Fish rendered his resignation.
The Secretary, however, denies .he
truth Of the report, stating positively
that he had not resigned, though rs to
what would take place he did not
know. There seems to be every fndi-

A Story OF DesiitutiOn.

GIRLS ENTIcFD INTO THE PEACH ORCHARDS,
POORLY PAID AND IN sTRAIeHTKHED cIRoUM-
STANCES.
The Baltimore Sun prints some rather strange
sounding statements in relation to alleged harsh
treatment and destituton of girls
employed in the peach orchards
at Round Top, on Chester river. Its information
is obtained from a party of dozen girls who
went down to Round Top from Philadelphia in
response to an advertisement which appeared in
the papers, saying they could make from 81. so
to so per day. Accordingly about forty girls
were engaged and on Thursday they were sent
on steamer to Baltimore, where they were
transferred on Friday morning to another
,r, vessel and taken to Round Top.
from Philadelphia on Thursday night they were
obliged to sleep on deck, and suffered greatly
from the cold. Upon arriving at Round Top the
girls found, upon inquiry made OF other girls,
(about seven hundred Of whom they state are i'll
that neighborhood,) that thev could only make
fifteen to twenty cents per day, and that they
had to sleep on the floor, with hay for a bed and
that the food given them WAS not fit to eat.
They found the girls there crying and desiring
to return home but could not do so on account
of a want of funds. One girl down there stated
that she had written two or three letters home,
but that they had been torn up by some one in
authority on the ground, and she went to the
engineer OF the vessel on which the girls who
returned Saturday went down, and implored
him to take letter to Baltimore and mail it for
her, About thirty of the girls who went down
Friday renamed and eleven returned to Balt-
more, with the hope of getting back to Philadel-
phia.
The girls from whom the Sun obtained its in
formation were of party who had left Round
Top and were endeavorng to get back to Pha-
delphia. They had tasted, they said, for two
days, and the Mayor not only fed them but sent
them ON to their homes.

The Baltimore Failures.


THtIE EFFECT uroS THE BUsISEss COMMUNITY
BALTIMORE, Aug. 80.
The committee appointed to make an exani
nation of tho books OF the Calvert Co. began
that work on Saturday and discovered that $780,
COO or 100000 moro Of the paper of the Calvert
Company had been used by Stirling, Ahrens
d Co. than heretofore reported, max
Ing the total amount used by them
about II, 1000 900. This amount, however,
has boon provided for In some way by the
suspended firm, and will not be lost. An i'm
preston prevails that the suspension of the
Calvert Co. will not be allowed to be perma-
nent, inasmuch as the only remaining firm Of
refners will be unable to supply the Western
demand and to permit such course would
divert much trade to New York. 1t is stated
that of the unsecured paper Of the
two firms the Baltimore banks hold
5l,,900 600 and 100000 by private capital
lists. Merchants, as rule hold but little Of it,
they having got rid of it, which accounts for 80
much Of it being in the banks. The opinion
seems to be unanimous that as the paper Of the
firms is distributed among wealthy capitalists
and eolid banking institutions no fear need
be entertained of anything serious happening

Late in the day on Saturday, word was tele-
graphed from Elkton to the P. W. & B. authori-
ties at Philadelphia that a man supposed to be
the one who had fallen from the New York and
Washington express, on Friday night, had wan-
dered to that town. It seems that by the fall
no limbs were broken, and no bruises were no.

statement he was evidently rendered uncon-
scous. In this condition he wandered about
the country, begging for food, and being mis-
taken for n tramp was once denied. Finally lie

Remarkable Discovery.

A CAVE OPENED IN IowA-HUMAS BONES WITH
TRACES OF ANCIENT CIVILIZATION FOUND IN IT.
DAVENPORT, IA, Aug. 80.
A remarkable discovery was made on an island
in the Mississippi, eight miles below this place,
on Friday, by some fishermen. 1t was sub
terranesn cave hewn out OF the solid rock. which
was covered by a rock, aud which was reached
by stone steps. The floor OF this cavity, which
had undoubtedly been made thousands of years
ago, was thickly strewn with ashes, the charred
remains OF bodies and substance which they
took to be dead leaves first wet and then pressed
together resembling in color and solidity a cake
of oatmeal. Among the dry ashes they picked
up three tusks, about the size OF u boar's tooth
and little lower the boat hook came in contact
with hard substance which proved to be
skull az brown as polished walnut, perfect in
every respect and of extraordinary size.
On further examination, an almost complete
skeleton was discovered but the most singular
part came to light in the hardened and almost
petrified leather strips, bronze buckles and
wooden leg which continued the
extremity of that limb. it having been re-
moved half way between the hip and knee.
This is very interesting discovery proving that
a knowledge of bronze was among the learning
of aboriginal Americans, and that mechanical
surgery in those days equals at least that of
these days in the adoption of timber extremeties

Ex-president Johnson,s Estate.

The Knoxville (renn.) Chronicle learns from
those cOnversant with ex- President Jobnson's
private AFFAIRS that it is not known as yot that
he made will previous to his death, or rather
that any such document is now in existence.
i ii believed he wrote more than one, but ii
does not appear that any one Of them is in
loss from the failure OF Jay Cooke, and it is
possible that this change IN his estate made it
necessary that he should change any will he
had made previous to that time, aud ii ID proba-
TO the uncertainty as to what his actual losses
would be. Those who have the custody of his
property and papers know nothing OF the exls-
,ence OF an insurance policy on Mr.. Johnsons
me- and they do not believe that he had any
hnch policy. Mr. Johnson's estate is not large,
but sufficient to keep his surviving family above
