NEvADA's RICH SENATORS
Two Republican senRtors-rh Rich.
est Men On the Continent

The two Republican Senators from the
State of Nevada, promise soon to be the
richest men in the world. \ correspond
cnt OF the st. Louis Republican has III
teryiewcd one OF thcm-Joncs-and tell,
the following story:
Perhaps no better idea of the magni-
tude of Jones operations could be given
than is conveyed by a portion of his con-
vcrsation. He has lately been giving con-
siderable attention to the development of
the Panamint mining district i'm South
crn California. lie said that the. mines
that he and his friends are Interested i'm i'm
that section will yield | 900 tons of ore u
day, which would average 500 per ton.
BY special contract they can deliver this
ore mt Swansea for reduction for $40 per
ton. This would leave u net profit of cay
$4,000, 900 year, to say nothing of the
ComstOck lode. Jones can not possibly be
over fifty. Ii he lives TO be rs old as
Commodore Vanderbilt, what a modern
Crpsus he will be! Your readers must
understand that this is his own calm esti-
mate, and that he don't propose to put Il
dollar of stock based ON these Panamint
mines on the market.
Senator Jones poverty in early life de
barred him from the advantages of an
early education. lie is, however, re-
markedly well-rcad man. In his hours of
leisure up in Trinity County-in the in
Permission OF the pick and pan--he read
eagerly and pcrsevcringly, and to-day
few of the pretentiously scholastic men
who sit i'm the United States Senate could
exceed him in the appositeness or extent
OF his historical illusions.
OF the newly elected Scuator-Sharon,
the Republican says:
The Californian is puzzled in dctcrmin-
ing rs to whom he shall hail as the final
cial dictator of the Pacific coast. Sharon,
the rival and yet friend of Jones. is a man
of prodigious wealth, whose precise
bounds it were uuwisc to attempt to pre-
scribe. He has controlled absolutely the
Belchcr mine. owning a large majority of
the stock, and when it is remembered,
that since 1865, upward of $4,000, 900
have been taken from that mine, some
idea may be formed of Mr.. Sharon's opu-
lcnCc. At the present time the gross pro
ceeds of the Belchcr frequently amount to
a 1900, 900 a month. Mr.. Sharon has
the reputation of being the most sagacious
man in California financial matters, and
there is tense, subtle intelligence in his
face which confirms the general rumor.

Louisiana and the New York Press

The frantic raving Of the New York
Journals over the Louisiana affair,
without accurate information of the
fac 3 OF the case their vying with each
other in Tanting aud tearing passion
to tatters, aud their abandoned and
desperate strife for mere excitement,
brings 10 mind the frenzy of the same
press over the seizure of the pirate
steamer Virginius by the Spanish
authorities. In like manner they all
struck at that time without knowledge
and without desiring to know. In
like manner they strove to out-HerOd
each other i'm incendiary eXaggera-
ton to rouse the passions OF the popu~
lace, and drive the Administration in
TO instant acts of war.
In like manner the stock signers
of calls for sensational public meetings
called meeting 10 work up popular
passion against Spain and To force the
President headlong into war. And
some public men, who had before been
distinguished for the possession of cool
heads and methOdical reasoning pow
ere, fooled away their characters at
that meeting, under the delusion that
they were mounting u popular tidal
wave, Just as some will do at the
meeting in New York to-day, To pro
test in behalf OF immunity 10 armed
rebellion and the sacred rights OF those
who overthrow law.-Cin. G0sCtte,

The malicious partisanship Of the Bour-
bon Democracy, save in its sympathy
with Secession during the War of the Re
bellion, has never been more clearly man
ifested than in its bowling denunciations
OF the Administration. The whole Bour-
bon pack, headed by the ''Foghorn" Gov
ernor of Ohio, old PetticOat Allen, the
most venomOus hound in the pack being
the newspaper founded by Horace Gree
ley and owned by Jay Gould, is in full
cry, and the universal character OF this
denunciation is simply infamous abuse
and malicious Justification Of facts. The
auimus OF the Bourbon newspapers, and
the Bourbon politicians and bummers at
tending upon State Legislatures in quest
of spoil, is so apparent that it is not
worthy of serious argument. They pre-
sent no facts, and argue no results. The
talk of impeachment of the President,
who has given ne orders at all in the
premises, is simply the talk Of swashbuck-
hers and partisan inccndiaries. However
violent man may be as partisan, he
should at least keep within the limits of
ordinary consistency and probabilities,
and not make blatant, demagogical eX-
hibition OF himself, as the Bourbons are
now doing. Let us tell the whole pack
that, instead OF making votes by their in
flammatory lies, they will disgust multi
tubes of fair-minded Democrats.

The great merit of Vinegar Bitters has made them the leading medicine of the day, and respectable druggists every where write: "They are the best and most popular preparation in the market" " They have stood the test of public opinion and won confidence. They sell rapidly because they cure. If you are sick you want reliable medicine. Vine gar Bitters commend themselves to the ailing and afflicted, as they are deficient in one thing alone, viz.: the stimulant that unduly excites the brain, and creates a amorbid thirst for spirits There is no phase of indigestion, biliousness, nerv- ous disease, or physical debility, in which they will not effect cure. In. valids who arc wasting away from a want of proper action in the liver, stomach and bowels, will find them Q constitutional specific, and fountain of vitality and vigor as refreshing and exhilarating as a cool, gushing spring of water to the parched and fainting traveller in the desert.

 Street Speculation.

The banking houss of. Alex. Frothingham X Co.,, 12 Wall street, who deal in stock privi- leges, have paid this enormous sum to their customers during this short space of time. Some persons have paid as high as $6,OO0 from only $100 originally invested, and many have made $1, 900 and over from only $50,
 They paid in a single day over 40,00O, for which only s3,000 were received. or $37,0OO net profit to various people. They employ continuously from twelve to fifteen competent bookkeepers and assistants. With this strong force they are often compelled to remain at their work till midnight. This energetic firm well deserves the credit of being the leading house in their branch of business, and it is most wonderful to acknowledge that they have established this business in the short space of five years. They have customers who reside in nearly every State of the Union, also the Dominion of Canada-even from the Island of Cuba they receive ordors from persons who are continually dealing ill stocks. Their business has become so extensive that two experienced correspondents are employed to attend to their advertising accounts. Their cards may be read in every first-class newspaper published in the United States. To this they attribute & portion of their success. We advise those de- string to place their business with firm pos sessing the very highest record for upright ness, and who conduct their business upon honest principles, to deal with this house.
 They also issue d weekly report of the con- dition of affairs in Wall street. which they are glad to mail free, for one year, to any one who desires and contemplates speculating. Send for it.-N !. EUening Maa. F..
