STOLEN AEIICLEs.-Sherif Swift hav-
ing missed some shirts left in the engine
house for the use of the firemen, and
suspecting a colored man who slept in q
room adjoining, searched the premises,
and not only found what he was in
search of but many other things that
were undoubtedly stolen. some of but
little value, while there were many
doubtless priced by those who missed
them. There were gold rings, knives,
chains, jewelry, and the like, very
curious and strange collection indeed.
Mr.. Mayo, the name of the colored man
who had collected these things, will
doubtless answer for SO doing in a Court
Of Justice. The collection of articles
can be seen at the Skeriff's office.
SAD BEREAvEMENr.-The Virginia City
Chronicle of last evening says: The
latest victim Of typhoid fever is Mrs.
Kate ellis, wife of Mr.. Stephen E. Gill
lis, of the Enterprise. She died at .
O'Clock this morning, after a short i'll
ness, and the sad news was a terrible
shock to her many friends in this city,
the majority OF whom had not heard of
her illness. Four little children-the
eldest being but seven years-are thus
suddenly bsreft of a mothers love and
care. Mrs. ellis was cousin of Cap
tain John S. Young Of this city
Stock PRIvILEGEs.-The put and
call system of stock speculation seems
to be growing in favor. Samuel Mckee
& Co., brokers and dealers in stock priv
ileges, No. $50 Montgomery street, San
Francisco, are the inaugurators OF this
Wall street custom. and they are doing
an extensive business. See their adver-
tissment in our paper of this morning.
Mr.. ALFRED HELM returned yesterday
morning from visit to the State Uni
versity at Elko. He found the school
there in a prosperous condition. and
business in that county evidently i'm
proving.
E Hon. CHARLES S. VARIAH, late Senator
from Humboldt county but now a resi-
dent of this city. has received from the
President the appointment of United
States District Attorney.

EVEN in this rather uncertain world, all
seasons have their pleasures. For the next
three months, at least, the agile, Industrious
and we dare say, cheerful house-fy (musca
domestica for short) will, early and late, set up
multitudinous example of activity. To be
sure he will insist on taking his morning prom
enade on the bare Uranium of the late sleeper
his curiosity will prompt him to regard baby's
mouth and nostrils as places for exploring ex-
petitions; his social tendencies will lead him
in mu ltitudinous form to picnic at the din,
inner table and bivouac upon the walls. He
will be power in the land; man, the lord of
creation, sometimes six feet in his stockings
will, in anger strike at him a blow which would
fell an OK, and hurl an epthet at him that
would be gem in intense Democratic Jour.
nalism, but the little fellow will buzz of in 6
cheerful manner which will seem to say
"Pooh, don't get ruffled at trifes." Of course
we shall make war upon him, but unless We
keep tidy houses, clean kitchens and sweet
back yards, the cheerful little wretch will be
too much for us with all our traps and seduc-
tive poisons.

Current Notes.

The Boston Transcript in noticing the
threat of the Louisville Couyier-JouynaL tba I
Gen. Sherman will lose his salary by the
Democratic majority of the next House of
Representatives if he makes another speech
such as he delivered in Boston a. the recent
centennial, says that speech may have been
ill-timed, but it simply expressed the feeling
of the North that it intends to be good friends
with the South, provided the latter ''does not
do so again.. If either branch Of Congress
meddle with General Sherman for making
such sensible speeches, they will help him to
regain much of the popularity he has lost by
his ''Memoirs.'
The Lynchburg Virginian desires that
Northern journals should understand that
Gen. Preston's speech before the University
of Virginia does not represent the feeling
Of the sound-thinking people of the South.

THE KEELY MoToR.-The Keely-ites show
an unabated faith in the new motor. The only
trouble, they say now, is that they find 1t diff
cult to get any machinery strong enough to
stand the enorm Gus power, $50 times that Of
steam. They have raised the Devil and cannot
bride him. We see no way out of this except
to have Mr.. Keely invent new metal to match
his new power However, reckless promises
are being made. A train of cars is to be run
from Philadelphia to New York, "within six
months" with the power generated from as
much water as can be held in the palm of a
mans hand. Tremendous things are to be
done with the new motor as substitute for
gunpowder. A rifle that fires four cartridges
at once out of one barrel at a rate of speed that
far outstrips the lightning has already, "they
say" been perfected.

HE don't want it; Mr.. w. r. G.. Estes, we
mean of Somerset county; he don't want to
be member of the Democratic State Com
mittee. He is an independent voter and
delights in that freedom which allows him to
wander from political pasture to political pas
ture wholly regardless of line fences. He will
vote for Gen. Roberts, but he don't relish be-
ing the successor of Mr.. William d. Hayden
the too-much-frst selectman of Madison.
Then Mr.. Estes fell to moraizing in letter
which he has written to "Gov." Pillsbury on
corruption and political looseness; possibly
having in his minds eye, the sad fate of
selectman W. III. D. who can't tell what has
become of $4,000 of Madson's money
and the late Democratic County Treasurer of
Somerset county who can't for the life of him
explain what he did with various thousands
ofthe aforesaid money. Mr.. Estes of Skow-
hogan does a good deal of business con the

WE are surprised that so much of man as
Mr.. Charles Nordhoff, now of the New York
Herald, should think that the utterances of
the Washington Republican are worth his at
tention. A paper which assails such Repub-
licans as Vice President Wilson, Senator
Dawes and Congressman Blaine, Garfield,
Hawley and Roberts of New York, and finds
its party heroes in the Ben Buffers, the Spen-
GERS and the Claytons, is hardly worth the
public notice of man so well known and
justly esteemed as Mr.. Nordhoff. 1t is a
''pap'' journal, all stomach and no conscience.
The jealous defender of Andy johnson in his
time, turning against him when his sun had
set; claiming now to represent President
Grant, change Of. administration would find
the concern one of the earliest converts and
the loudest in its protestations of devotion.
More than anything else, the Republican, the
apologist and participator in the Washington
city ring frauds, has injured President Grant
by its brazen pretentions of speaking for him.

THE American Missionary Association pub
fishes tract with headline "The Nation in
Danger" The danger to which it alludes is
ignorance. The census OF 1870 shows that in
the Southern States 25.5 per cent. of the peo-
pie over 10 years of age cannot read, while
3.S per cent of the same class in the Eastern
and Middle States and 3.4 in the West are in
the same candition. The following table
shows the population and the expenditures
for education in the different sections:

In spite of the depressing effects of the
panic and the consequent falling off in rev.
enues,the close Of the fiscal year indicates that
the national finances are in very healthy
condition. For the year ending June 80,
the receipts of the treasury have been $780,
100000 in round numbers while the expen-
ditures s275,OOO,OOO, leaving balance of
receipts over expenditures of $14,OOO,0 900.
For the previous fiscal year the surplus was
but $2,344,O0O. Besides this handsome in
crease over last year, there is now, after all
disbursements and obligations are provided
for, balance of S55, ,0OO,O0O in the treasury.

The Southern state which spends most for
this purpose is Maryland. She pays out $685.
for each person between 6 and 16. This is
2 cents less than the smallest expenditure at
the North,-that of Maine. These facts
show that the West, with smaller popula-
tion than either of the other two sections,
spends more than either of them for educa-
ton, and has less illiterates than either. But
the Southern outlook is gloomy. If the pros
perity lost for the sake of the Lost Cause is
ever to be regained, labor must be made hon
orable and universal, the land must be sub
divided, and education must be strenuously
urged. These are not easy reforms, but they
are absolutely necessary.

The New Morgan Steamer.

The two iron steamships that have 70,
some time been in the course of construc.
ton on the Delaware fo. Mr.. Charles NOR.
gan, are intended to run between Brasheaf
City and New York, in connection with
MOrgan's Louisiana and Texas railroad and
steamers.
These ships will carry cargo of at least
5000 tons on ten feet Of water, and after
passing through the artificial channel from
Brashear to the Gulf of Mexico. they are
arranged so a. to take water ballast, which
will put them down to thirteen feet, good
safe draft for heavy weather.
Arrangements have been made in New

has been used up to abbut four months ago
by the Merchants Steamship Line, Of which
the steamers Mississippi, General Meade,

We trust this does not mean q permanent
withdrawal Of this old established line, but
It looks very much like it, as its success was
in part dependent upon the Texas freight
by Morgan's road.

Billiards,

Last evening a match game was played
between Henry Miller. Of this city. and
Henry Rhines, of Chicago. The game was
played at the Academy Of Music, and ye-
suited in victory for Mr.. Miller by . score
Of 500 to 304. Rhines won tho lead, and up
to the eighth inning maintained it Mil
ler's play throughout was marked by care
and steadiness. The Chicago player showed
some brilliant play, and ecored a. high az
sixty at a single break. It was perhsp. un.
fortunate for him that the balls were
''froze" At this juncture. a. it led to his Op.
ponent regaining his steady lead. Ninety
innings were played. and the Winners aver

for the southern district Of New York, in
cludes point, not heretofore raised, that
may be of interest to practitioners Of Louis.
lana. George H. Sheldon was voluntary
petitioner in bankruptcy, and his creditors
sought to compel the application of the
thirty per cent clause to a.debt contracted
previous to 1862. On this debt judgment
was rendered in the State court, July 26,
1862. This judgment would not be liable
under the law. March !. 1878. i. was re-
newed in the same court, and it was con-
tended it was therefore not exempt. Judge
Blotchford decided the contrary, and held
the bankrupt discharged from ali liability
on it.

The State Line.

The steamship State of Alabama arrived
on Wednesday evening from Liverpool. 1t
has been come time since we have had the
pleasure OF welcoming one Of this line of
steamers to this port, which has been owing
to the fact that some important changes
have been taking place in the management
on the other side of the Atlantic.
In conversation with Captain Stewart of
the Alabama We learn that matters are all
settled, and that as soon as business will
warrant the ships that have been with
drawn will be replaced and the State line
assume its former activity.

The Rcnitentiary,

At last some steps arc to be taken to
| cause tho State Penitentiary. ct Baton
Rouge, TO be managed with some respect
for the law. Eighteen months ago, when
the REPUBLICAN, published statements from
number Of convicts, several Representa-
tives and Senators became excited about
'he matter, two reports were submitted, the
lessee wrote letter On the subject, q resolu-
tion was passed, and matters vent on juss
The same a. before. The treatment has
perhaps been improved, but convicts are
still hired ont On plantations. roads and
leveee, end still die from exposure, and the
United States courts send their eonvicts to
Arkansas tor protection. The Legislature
OF 1873 passed law, approved March 81,
prohibiting employment of convicts ON any
vo1k outside Of tho penicsntiary. To take
them OUT is made q misdemeanor entailing
punishment OF fine of $1,000 and An i'm
prlsonment OF two years. The lessee per
mitting it to be done, ipso .facto, forfeits the
lease and is liable to penalty Of $4,000.
Yet. since that aot has become Q law con-
victs have been employed on various works;
some have died and some have escaped to
New Orleans. Tho known presence Of these
outlaws in the city caused the Police Board
to appeal to the Governor, who referred the
matter to Attorney General Field, who has
directed the district attorney at Baton
Bouge to proceed at once to enforce the
Law. The only authority under which this
employment has been carried on consists of
contract entered into during military con.
troll, and long since a nullity, and an alleged
permit Of Governor WarnOth. These will
NOS bo sufficient. There should be an end
to the lease and new system established,
and Colope! Field has takea the right
cOurAe.
