about % feet below the window-sill.
She gave the alarm. which attracted the
attention OF officers Sullivan. Michaels
and Cox. who reached the coal yard In
time to see u man attempt to open the

FoR some time IL has been quite an
object to discover some way 70 "ags"
whisky; that is. to secure the svapor'
alton Of the fusil oil in the natural
whisky. 90 that the best grade OF liquor
could be obtained. Under ordinary ar
rangsments whisky requires an ago OF
i've years to lose all its fusil oil char
aeter. Ii has been discovered that the
shipment Of whisky by sea accomplishes
in q brief period tho required svapor-
alton. The constant motion impaired
to liquor by the rolling Of the vessel has
always had the effect Of Fastening the
evaporation Of fusil oil. 90 that q brisf
voyage enhances the market value OF
whisky to = remarkable degree. A pro-
cess has been patented for securing this
motion to the whisky while lying in
warehouses. A churn Is introduced into
barrels with their bungs out, while the
machinery is propelled by steam. AMI,
mates the churn. and causes . continued
stirring Of the whisky. So says a late
telegram from Washington.

VIRGINIA CITY.

Yesterday We strolled for . couple OF
hours through the dssOlsis streets Of

again. Virginia City. It was . bssuti-
full day, the threatened storm Of the
previous day having happily spent itself
upon the Sierra. II "a very different
from the Sundays Of old. and IL seemed.
while we watched. As though the wheels
Of the world had rolled back for fifteen
years. and the work Of that first Winter
o; 1859 was being commenced again.
There Was not q church bell ringing in
the city; but one church tower was
visible. and that was blaeksned. empty
and desolats. like tho wreck around II.
In the part where the business center
formerly Was, there vas . Babel Of
sounds; Of eartmsn hauling away debris.
OF masons crying for mortar. Of car
penten' saws and hammers. Of the
schos which attends tho laying Of the
foundations Of u city. Further on.
out where the lesser business houses
and residences wero. there was almost
total silence, and the ruins seemed ~
might those Of y city that had been de-
serted long ago and had been erumb-
ling 10 ruins for ages. There will. II

is. the calamity might have been

have stopped the IRE at tho start. and q

public obligations is correct "a concession
made only for the sake Of argument),
and even from that point Of view it
exhibits their policy as detestable, for even
! gambling debts are paid by men Of honor,
and they would be ostracised from the
society of gentlemen if they repudiated
them. AT the very worst the inhationists can
not consider the promises Of the government
as more destitute Of obligation than
gambling debts and it is infamous to
repudiate even these. But outside of in
fiation circles the public engagements are
not put on any such level. In the estima-
ton Of the sound part of the community they
are pledges Of the public faith which must
be sacredly kept. The Ohio inhationists
have brought odium on their party by MAX
ing it chargeable with willingness to dis
honor the government.
This disreputable canvass and disastrous
election have blighted the tairest hopes ofthe
democratic party. With its worst elements
led by demagogue like Governor Allen,
with Governor Tilden running the party in
this State to promote his ambitious personal
aspirations, and the prospect of bitter
quarrel and bandying of recriminations be-
tween their followers, the immediate pros
poets OF the party are not brilliant The
democratic defeat in Ohio carries, as its in
evitable consequence, democratic defeat in
Pennsylvania, and a diminution of the dem
ocratic majority in New York by the new hope
and courage that will be infused into the
republicans. There is but one way to re-
trieve these misfortunes. There is no saliva
ton for the democratic party but by making
administrative reform the paramount issue,
and reuniting the party in siren
uous opposition to the abuses which
have prevailed in President Grants admin
istration. 1t was absurd to raise any other
banner than one inscribed with reform but
we trust it is not too late for the
democracy to be consolidated on that
basis. The initiation issue has united the
republicans on the currency question and
widened the breach between the democrats
The only hope of the party lies in the action
Of the House Of Representatives when Con-
gress assemblies. If the House devotes itself
to Investigations and exposures, if it succeeds
in dragging great mass of hidden corrup-
ton to light and covering the administration
with disgrace, the democrats may yet fight
their way to power as the champions Of
reform. There is no hope for the party on
any other issue.
