TIE WHITE HoUsE-The Presidential man.
sion is lust one mile and half from the capi-
toll. It stands on elevated ground, and forms a
conspicuous object in the landscape, seen from
q distance. It is an old-fashioned, cumbrous-
looking edifce, with a double porch, immense
windows, and has the appearance OF cross be-
tween a demoralized Greek temple and New
England village town house. In length 1t is
no feet by 86 in depth, and is two stories in
height. The entrance hall is 30 feet in length
bv 30 in width, the two parlors which flank ii
80 by 25 feet, while the famous East Room is
so by 40, requiring five hundred yards of car
peting. The height of these rooms is twenty
two feet. A writer, some time since, in desert
bing these apartments happily says, they are as
"home-like as q connected series OF meeting
houses"
The reader who has never penetrated the
mysteries of the presidential mansion may be
astonshed to know that the entire first floor is
nublic property, and that the care of it does not
at all appertan to the household arrangements
of the occupying family. The private portion
of the building is confined to part of the second
story and three rooms in the basement. Ihe
remainder of the second story is occupied by
the Presidents Offices. At the foot OF the en-,
trance hall is the "oval room," which IS tlankeo
by the two square parlors. From the one on
the right the visitor enters the large dining
room: from that on the left, the banqueting OF
east room. In these rooms are held the presl
Dental levees and receptions. They are gor
geously furnished, and the amount of paneling
and glass, and gilt, and mirrors, and ginger
bread work is absolutely painful to behold
There has been little change in their decoration
and arrangement for the last forty years., The
furniture and carpets have been renewed ant
re-renewed, but with sort of religious venera
tion for the taste of the original upholsterers
the general appearance and effect has been re
to;ned Boston Commercial Bulletin.

MORE TESTIMONY FROM THE NoRTH...The
editor of the Providence, R. l., Press, after
tour of several months through the Southern
States, gives the following candid and crafty
ing confederation of the testimony OF Judge
Kelly: "Mr Kelly is right and can afford to
be cursed by party friends: We have seen tor
ourselves; have mixed and conversed with all
shades aud kinds of people South-negroe.ss,
whites, officials, ex-rebels. military and civil,
on-partisans and partisans, Republicans and
White Leagues, and for weeks have examined
into the whole status of the South, civil, pollt-
ica and financial, and our note book and MEM
ory fully corroborate all that MIR. Kelley or
any other Intelligent or fairminded man has
or must say, in truth, of the South and its pres
ent position 1t is time this humbug and folly
of coercing now loyal people ceased. 1t is
time that swndlers and knaves were turned
out of Southern Federal offices, and honest
men put in their places; it is time that. a
reign of Justice was inauguratcd and the reign
of corruption and oppression ceased. If the
leaders of the Republican party are either wise
or shrewd, they will acknowledge their errors
and commence an immediate reform of the
Southern service"

and has since lived in Kentucky.

EARNINGS OF THE U. P.-The gross
earnings of the Union Pacific Railroad
for June are reported al $5,525,S00.
Compared with the corresponding Pc
RODS last year, the figures show an in
crease of $139, 700 on the month, and
$685., 900 on the half year. The operat-
ing expenses of the road for June were
$685. 400, and for the six months $2,3l3,-
500, an increase of $4,000 on the
month, though a decrease of S10S,600
the half year. The net earnings for
June are therefore SIP, 700 more than
for the same month in 1874, while for
the half year there has been an increase
of upwards of 1000, 900.

From the San Francisco Stock En-
change we learn that the following
companies have filed articles Of incor-
poration with the County Clerk OF San
Francisco: The Oregon Consolidated
Silver Mining Company, to work in
the State OF Nevada, with Sl0,000,O00
capital; Observation-Disclosures Chap
man, G.. Fl. Aiken, w. s. Blakeley, j.
A. Herdnall and w. II. Broadhead.
The Eastern Nevada Consolidated Gold
and Silver Mining Company, to mine
in Elko county Nevada, with So, $50, 900
capital; Directors-R. p. Hammond,
+. w. Leonard, w. p. Harrison, l.. X.
Bradley and Nj. E. Elstner. The New
York Mining Company has increased
its capital stock from S6,000,000 to Sl0,-
DOC, 200, divided into one hundred
thousand shares.
Robert Sherwood, a prominent min
ing man, has just returned TO San
Francisco from a thorough inspection
of the Comstock. lie says that he
saw, according to the best of his judg-
ment, ore enough in sight in the bo-
nanza mines to yield the value of five
hundred million $500, 900 ,00U dollars.
He believes that with the milling ia
~cilities which the firm of Flood IL
O'Brien are likely to obtain that these
mines can turn out $5,000,000 per
month.
At a special meeting of the Board of
Directors of the Julia Mining Compa-
ny, held at the office Of the company,
in San Francisco, on the 23d instant, a
dividend of three shares of the capital
stock of the Julia Consolidated Min
ing Company for one share of the Julia
Company was declared. The stock is
ready for delivery.
The Belcher mine has shut down.
The reason assigned is that there was
no mill to crush their ore, and that
there were some slight repairs to be
made. 1t is rumored hat the Bank of
California had something to do with
stopping the work in this mine.
Mrs. Hill, of Churchill, shot by a
Chinainan last week, is rapidly recov-
ering.

STILL ANOTHER GREAT CALAMITY.
1t new rains but it pours. Calam-
tiles seldom occur singly. What have
the people of this coast been guilty of
that they should be put to so terrible a
test? The failure of the Bank of Cali
fornia fell upon whole communities
like an awful cioudburst, but with
characteristic pluck and energy none
of them weakened. Wefear the worst
when the approach of still another
great calamity is announced. Mrs.
Doctor Mary Walker has actually
reached Elko, on her way west. The
Independent thus describes her make
up: "Her dress consisted of a pair of
black velvet trousers and a coat of the
same material, the skirts of which ex-
tended to the knee. A pair Of black
cloth shoes encased not overly hand
some pedal exsremities, and a parse
handkerchief was the only protection
except a thin hirsute covering-to a
head extraordinary in neither size nor
shape"

THE AFFAIRS OF THE BANK OF
CALIFORNIA

Have been placed in the hands of an
Executive Committee, consisting of
William Alvord and Geo. III. How
ard.
d. O. Mills, K -president of the bank,
has not held a ahare of stock for the
last three years.
During the last twelve years the
stockholders have received dividends
to the extent of two hundred and sew
enty-five per cent.
Four days ago Mr.. Ralston was still
hopeful that he would be able to
weather the storm. In order to sus-
tain the bank, Of which he was the ex-
ecutive head, and to carry out his ar
dent desires, he sacrificed all his valu-
able property. Only ten or fifteen days
ago he sold his interest in the Truckee
and Virginia Railroad for 500, 900,
which is estimated to be worth 8 $780,
600. One who knows wherein he
speaks, and who was intimate with
MI. Ralston, informed an Alta reporter
that he left his home on Friday morn
ing homeless and penniless, and said
to his friend: II can not afford to live
in this house any longer; l tan live, if
necessary, on 500 a month";"

!. SENSATIONAL

Eureka escaped most of the sensa-
tional reports growing out Of the great
financial panic in San Francisco. Over
In the western part of the State all sorts
OF rumors were transmitted by tele-
graph. Among others, it was an
nounced that Jim Keene, the broker,
had shot and killed Sharon; that
Brown, the cashier, and Clark, the
paying-teller Of the Bank of California.

Flood & O'Brien had fallen victims to
the Communists; and, finally, that the
Bulletin and OaW offices had been gut
ted by q mob. 1t was also currently
reported that A. J.. Ralston, of the vir-
einia Agency of the Bank Of California,
had, on receipt of the news of his
brothers. death, promptly followed
suit by lodging a ball in his brain.
Other horrors were, perhaps, detailed
with circumstantial particularity, but
those given will suffice to show some.

lace in San Francisco and elsewhere
during the panic which succeeded the
fall Of the great bank.

WILL HURT CARsoN.-It is highly
probable that Carson will be injured as
much by the failure of the Bank of
California as any other place on this
side of the mountains. Nearly every
important enterprise in that vicinity
was dependent on the bank. The rail-
roads, fluming operations and timber
business were industries all developed
by the banks money, and giving to
the Capital a degree Of prosperity it
could never otherwise have attained.

DENNIS, in the Eureka SENTINEL,
tells of some of the events which in
the Winter of 1869 and 1870 transpired
In Eureka. Among the rest, he mem
lions the circumstances touching the
transferring OF two sacks of barley
from = countryman's wagon to an I'M
known place, and claims that it was in
the interests OF justice. He has for
gotten how, during that Winter, he
was wont to extol the virtues Of a
mustang IN bis possession, and call
attention TO tho tact that the brute had
nothing to eat but white sage.-Vir-
giniG Enterprise.
"Honor among thieves" We have
always held to be . righteous proverb,
and for that reason, in our reminis-
cences, carefully avoided the exposure
OF the fact that the then Prosecuting
Attorney and present editor of the
Enterprise was one of the gentlemen
detailed by the officer, to "remove'
the aforesaid sacks of cereal to some
unknown place" or that he executed
his commission so effectively that the
place eve after remained unknown
alike to his blooming pal and the COZ
who authorized the job.

the Isthmus-MOre Trouble on
the Texas Border Revenue
Frauds tm San Francisco.
CHICAGO, Aug. %.
A Washington special says DIR. Lin
derman, Director of the Mint, will be
here about September 18th. There is
much interest in his return, as he has
been gathering most interesting sta
tistics as to our mineral wealth in the
West and carefully eanvassing various
locations for the o Mint. From
present indications it appears this West
ern Mint controversy will take a com
plicated form and its location will not
be secured through the representations
of any one delegation, bti. by a COM
bination between the West and
East. 1t is therefore OF importance to
know the plan at present agitated in
the East, which may serve Western
delegations as a can to the end OF
gaining the new Mint. Elijah Ward,
| member of the Forty-fourth Congress
from New York, is making a great de-
mand on the Mint Bureau for statis-
tics, n order to back up a demand for
a coming Office in connection with the
| New York assay office, rather than be
obliged to send bullion to Philadelphia
to coin. If it is shown that New York
furnished full three-fourths of the ma
terial for all gold coined at the Phila-
delphia Mint, the New Workers claim
that the coming office should be near.
or the base of supplies, to save the cost
Of expressing, which now is about $l0,-
600 a year. If Congress establishes
a coinage office in New York it would
take away the main value of the Phila-
delphia Mint and leave only subsidi-
airy coin to be made there. OF course
Philadelphia will resist, and tho ele-
ments in the fight hope to unite with
the powerful delegations. For instances:
New York, with Chicago for its loca-
ton of the Mint at Chicago. If the
latter works with New York against
Philadelphia, Philadelphia may unite
with st. Louis. A gentleman well in
formed on Mint subjects says no mat
ter what Linderman recommends the
new Mint location will be decided by
q Congressional combination.
There has been an unusual demand
for clean rag money this month, and
over 5 5000, 900 of mutilated notes were

A SAD REMINIsCENCE.-T Thursday
evening, about 9H o'clock, Mr.. Raj
ston assembled all the clerks and at
taches of the Bank Of California, and

SUsPENDED.-The banking house OF
M. p. Freeman, at Elko, was compelled
to close through the failure of the
Bank Of California. Mr.. Freeman an
nounces, however, that the suspension
will be but temporary, as the institu-
ton is perfectly solvent. A few days,
he thinks, will suffice for him to
straighten affairs and form new con-
nections below.
