the proprietors of Colonel NJ Clure's new

will be sure to succeed. Philadelphia

paper that will not only promise to
keep clear of the rings, but will have
no political axes to grind-no friends to

There was another mysterious fire in

were destroyed before the flames

WHAT NEXT.

THE enemies of Andrew Johnson are
moving heaven and earth to drag him
down to their own level. They have
industriously circulated letters said to
have been written by him, and when
their authenticity is denied they resort
to other means to bring him into disre-
pute. Last week it was charged that
he had paid $40, 900 to elect him to the
Senate, and an investigation OF the
matter was began in the Tennessee
Legislature. Johnson, in reply to this
charge, says there are several reasons
why it cannot be true, among them Is
that since the failure of jay Cooke,
whereby he lost $4,000, (the savings
of a ifetime) he has not had money
enough to pay ordinary election ex-
penses. In Shelby county, the men,
bers from which are said to have been
bought by Johnson. by general consent
a separate ballot-box was placed at each
election precinct, in which were de-
posted the votes of the people indicat-
ing their choice for United States Sem
ator, all the legislative candidates hav-
ing agreed to abide by the result.
johnson received nearly three to one
of the entire vote, and in obedience to
the popular demand. the members OF
the Legislature voted for him although
some of them were personally opposed
to him. This dissipates the charge of
bribery trumped up against him, and
what the next move will be cannot be
foreseen. 1t is very evident, however.
that the radicals, who hate him as the
devil does holy water, will not let him
rest long if falsehoods can disturb him.

THERE is great rejoicing in Portland,
Oregon, caused by the receipt of dis
patch from Washington announcing
that negotiations with English capital
lists for the construction of the Portland,
Dalles and Salt Lake Railroad had re-
suited favorably. The contracts are
partially signed and duplicate has
been sent to England for further sigma
lures. The terms are S2S, 900 per mile
i'll first mortgage bonds, the road to be
built in five years. The dispatch is
from Senator Kelly to the Mayor of
Portland, and is undoubtedly authentic.
This should arouse the friends of the
Winnemucca and Portland Railroad
and incits them to action. The Presi-
dent is expected here from Washington
in few days for the purpose it is said
of making arrangements for survey of
of the route and commencing work on
the road at once.

Ex-UNrTED STATES SENATOR P

Ex-UNrTED STATES SENATOR PoME-
ROY, who attempted to purchase his re-
election to the Senate by legal tender
investment in the Kansas Legislature
two years ago, is again brought into
prominence. Mr.. Pomeroy placed
$1,000 in the hands of State Senator
York, which York sent up to the Presi-
dents desk, with the information that
it had been given him by Pomeroy for
his vote. Pomeroy admitted that he
gave the money to York, but denied
that it was for the purpose of intu-
encing his vote. This money has been
in the hands of the State Treasurer
ever since. Nobody would claim it.
and there it remained until last Friday,
when the Attorney General decided
that the State had no right to the
money, and that it properly belonged
to Pomeroy, to whom it was turned
over, less $4,000 costs incurred in
prosecuting the bribery suits against
him. It is understood that this will
end the whole matter, but the fact Of
the money having been awarded Pom
eroy will satisfy an impartial public
that Subsidy Pomeroy was lin the bust
ness of buying votes to. re-elect him to
the United States. Senate.

The Enterprise wants to know the
name of Western paper that claimed
any praise for the Republican party for
ratifying the Burlingame treaty. Well,
we don't like to mention the name of a
journal that did so, as it might injure
it; but if the editor of the Enterprise is
very anxious to know he can readily
find out by referring to the files of that
journal say in 1869. He will also dis
cover that he was Clerk of the United
States District Court for Nevada, po-
sition which we believe he still occu-
pies, and that that court claimed priyi-
leges for Chinese under that treaty
which have never been accorded to the
subjects Of the most favored white ma
tions in the United States.

The exact nature and beauty of the
Z" vendetta +" was illustrated by two
natives of Sicily in New Orleans, re-
Gently. One of them was in the parlor,
surrounded by his family. when the
door suddenly opened, the other rushed
in, and, placing the muzzle of pistol
close to the breast of the first, ex-
claimed: "I've got you now!" and
fired. The bullet struck a pair of
scissors in the intended victims vest
pocket, and was cut into three pieces,
which were afterward@ found in the
pocket. The would-be assassin was
permitted to depart without molesta-
ton, the assailed man merely observing
to inquiries that it was a vendetta, and
he would settle it himself, and he prob
ably will when he has more pistols
than scissors about him.

The Convention, of Independents
which assembled in Cleveland last Fri
day, adopted the following platform of
principles: A. g
LIST. That the Government should es
tablish q money system compatible
with the genius of the Government
and adapted to its necessities; that all
notes should be withdrawn from circu-
lation and the Government should issue
paper money, which shall be legal
tender for every debt, except that part
of the public debt made payable in
coin; this money to be interchangeable
at the option Of the holder with regis
tered Government bonds.
I'd. That this system will soon make
the United States the depository OF the
precious metals of the world. -
Sd. This win solve the question of
cheap transportation by enabling rail-
roads to relieve themselves OF debt and
lower their rates.
4th. The Government should ever
regard the development of its agricul-
tural and mineral wealth and manufac-
turing interests,
5th. The interests of productive in
dustry would be saved by this system.
9th. The public domain should be
reserved for actual settlers. :.
7th. The Government should equallze
bounties and adjust claims arising from
the late war.
Sth. Ali rights. privileges and immu-
mites recognized by the Government
should be based on the fact OF clfzen-
ship, equal rights before the law being
secured by the Constitution.
9th. Economy in public affairs,
10th. The rivers and harbors should,
when necessary, be improved.
18th. This monetary system would
make common the interests OF all sec
tons of the country.

When dancing was proposed, she an
nounced that round dancing would not
be allowed, but if any of the boys
wanted to hug any of the girls they
must sit on the tete-a-tetes and go ct it
in earnest. Every high-minded young
man in the United States will! honor
that woman for her wise mandate, and
yearn for an invitation to her parties.

WARM SPRING AND GOOD CROPS.
The weather is unusually warm for
March; snow rather light on the noun
tains. but the soil is thoroughly soaked
by the copious rains which fell early In
the Winter, which will make up to
great extent for the deficiency OF snow.
All kinds of stock have done well

spent several days last week in Cor
nucopia and Bull Run mining districts.
Bull Run Valley is beautiful place,
and contains a large area of good farm
ing lands. 1t is well supplied with
water. and there is considerable timber
juniper and firm the
mountains adjacent. There are several
farmers in the valley, and they are
anxious for more to come, as there is
plenty of room. The population of
the valley and mining towns is over
200, and the number will be greatly
increased this summer. They have
school and a postoffice. The mines
doing the most business now are
THE BLUE JACKET AND LEOPARD,
On both of which mills are at work.
The Leopard mill, which is ten
stamp one, is running eighteen out of
the twenty-four hours. and with two
pans is turning out UNDERGROUND
silver brick, worth $4,000, every thirty
six hours run. The mill has ore and
wood enough on hand to run sixty
days, but is short of matchmaking ma
terial. The people are all anxious to
have mail route from Paradise to the
mines, as the route now established
cannot deliver the mails regularly in
consequence of deep snow on the
mountains, while with the exception of
two miles on the Cornucopia Mountain,
there is no snow on the Winnemucca
road, which is in good condition for
teaming.
WORD MORE FROM PARADISE.
There are about thirty Tennesseeans
in Paradise Valley, and great was the
rejoicing among them when they
learned that Andy johnson had been
elected to the United States Senate.
Andy is an honest man, and no act of
his in public life has ever been tainted
with bribery or corruption. What a
blessed thing it would be for the people
if as much could be said with truth Of
his political enemies. SRoS.
