STOCKS.

The stock quotations are daily
becoming more and more interest
ing to those who deal in Comstock,
and the upward tendency of stocks
all along the line is acting upon
the market like magic. This rise
has been confidently expected, and
now that it has commenced, we are
of those who believe that it is a
permanent one. Gold has weaken
ed in Wall street, money is much
easier in San Francisco, and the
signs Of the times are in favor of q
lively deal in nearly all of the
principal mines. Quotations may
fuctuate occasionally, as they did
yesterday, but we do not appre-
bend that there is to be very
great falling off in present prices
for some time to come. The pro-
duct of the dividend-paying mines
is daily increasing, the recent de-
velopments are more encouraging
than ever, and with money where
it is, it is not in the nature of
things that we shall very soon see
a low market. This is our own
private opinion publicly expressed,
and we give it for what it is worth.

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES 4!
SAN FRANCISCO CAL, Aug. 4.

GAN ItA4NSiotO Soisf huEs IL
A few days ago IN the lnvestlga-
ton by the Central Pacific authorities
of the defalcations of Woodruff, alias
Miller, they computed the amount
at about 81, 900, 900. The company
succeeded in repairing their losses
on account of the increased value of
Woodruff7s investments, which kept
pace with his high living. He has
not been delivered to the authori-
ties of the law, and it is believed he
went to China on the last steamer.
Officers of the company to-day adj
mitted that he had been released on
parole not to quit this jurisdiction
till he received the permission of
the railroad authorities. The BuIle.
tin this morning SAYS, editorially,
that his offenses are of no ordinary
character. Bigamy, embezzlement
and forgery have been charged
against him. If facts should turn
out that this man is now beyond the
reach of the California penal laws,
this State will hold the Directors of
the Contract and Finance Board of
the Central Pacific Railroad COM
pany responsible for this outrage
upon justice.
PRESCOTT, A. T., Aug. 4.
At the General Crook mine there

THE JEALOUS LARKIN

The FLY SEASON Now is the
glorious fly full fledged and in
complete possession of all the
powers allotted him by nature.
Oh, the fly, the beautiful fly,
He ........ on the wall and he comes on
the sly,
To bother our table and tickle our nose
But where he does come from there's nobody
knows.
He ever is present in sunshine or gloom,
And the d--n little scoundrel "a all over
the room;
We try to evade him by window and screen,
But still those same fly -. for ever are
seen.
1t is of no use a.trying, he will -; in the
pie,
And everything else, however hard you may
try
To cover it up or protect it with cover.
You will find when you eat tits fly 80 all
over.
There's some that will. scold, and there's
some that will cry
At the trouble that's caused by that id
little fly.
But I'm clean out of patience-I've no
patience ut all,
And distractedly gaze at those fly -: on
the wall.
1 wish II were winter and the flies were all
gone,
alone
At home in the snow 'twere much better to
be-
Than the flies on the wall and those fly ';.-;.
to see.
Forgive me, dear reader, for really am mad,
But those fly -. in the Summer! aren I they
too bad

the Comstock. Quite an excitement
occurred at the time of its being

THE BADGER.-This is the name
of a late relocation, about six
miles below Sutro, in this county.
The re-locators are Messrs. Fitz-
gerald, John Clark, Morrison, and
G. Goodwin. We have seen speci-
mems from the ledge, at present a
three foot vein, which will mill $50
or $40 per ton. 1t carries both
gold and silver, and will be easily
reduced. The present improve
ments consist of shaft 80 feet in
depth and a tunnel $40 feet in
length, in sixty feet from the
surface. The lead promises to
soon become one of good reputa-
ton, and work will be prosecuted
Systematically and vigorously.

1t appears that Eureka is not the
only place where this work is being

Cinnamon, that have a systematic
way of making money there that
ought to be looked after. A great
many gold coins have lately been
observed to have the milling filed
off TO such an extent that the value
is noticaebly lessened. There is a
heavy penalty provided by law for
each offense, and it is hoped that
some one will proceed to work up a
case of the matter. The matter is
an important one and deserves at

THE TRIAL The trial before
Justice Gould, arising ont OF the
rumpus on Monday, has occupied
the Court, District Attorney, and
quite q number of our citizens
since Tuesday morning. As yet
but one case has been disposed of,
the second being now before the
jury for decision. The charge
against each of the four prisoners
is that of disturbing the peace
the prosecution being conducted
by District Attorney George w.
Keith, and the defense by Mr. W.
H. Stephens, of Virginia, Both
sides have been conducted with
ability, and we can il oil eaudor
say that Mr. Keith has brought
everything to bear 10 bring con
viction. The case against Oates
was not sustained by the evidence
sufficiently conclusive 10 the jury,
and they failed to agree. They
We're therefore discharged and the
case dismissed on motion of the
District Attorney. We understand
the jury stood six for acquit-
tai and three for conviction.
Roder was put on trial yesterday at
10 O'Clock. Under the literal reading
OF the statute the testimony was very
conclusive that he had violated the
provision against disturbing the
peace, though it was proven that he
only did so by challenging to fight
This case was given to the jury at
about BOP. NJ, and they had brought
in no verdict at ii O'Clock last night.
Judge Gould declares his intention to
keep the jury out until they render a
verdict, and as their foreman has sent
nword that there is no possibility of
an agreement, the case may last in
definitely. Although the four prison.
cas- were engaged in the same fracas,
each one demanded separate trial
before a jury, an undoubted right
possessed by them. AS Roder's case
contains the best points for the prose-
cution, it is likely that should the
jury return verdict of "not guilty."
the other two will be discharged. A
great many witnesses have been call
ed, and the costs to the county will
probably foot up about $500. SO
much for our system of criminal pros
ecution, and the unprotected rights of
taxable property holders. We shall
have something to say on this subject
