ular young townsman, Mr.. r. B.
Curry, has been removed from his
position as the company's agent,
for causes un assigned. A petition
is being almost unanimously signed
by the business portion of our COM
munity for Mr.. Curry's re-instate-
ment. That Mr.. Curry was badly
beaten in the late election, is no
criterion of his popularity. He ran
against the most adroit politician in
the county, and was in consequence
beaten. Officially, Mr.. Curry has
always been prompt and attentive to
his business, and it is poor policy
on the part of any company to so
deal with the most faithful of its
servants. Among the signers of the
remonstrance was O. Jacobs, our
Delegate to Congress. His en-
dorsement of Mr.. Curry reads ss
follows II have known Mr..
Curry for years, know him to be
honest, prompt, and faithful" And
this we fully endorse.

An Incident.

A Washington correspondent of a
San Francisco paper gives a graphic
description of the manner in which the
votes of inexperienced Congressman
are sold by INSCRIPTIONS lobbyists,
without the knowledge Of the
members who are thus made the
innocent instruments of the cor
rupt practice so common Of late
years at our National Capital. The re.
lation reminds us of an incident which
occurred here a little more thar a year
ago, when All agent of the Central
Pacific Railroad Company came here
to effect from our Board of Commits
sioners a reduction Of the taxes as as
sessed by the County Assessor. All
the other. count es in the State on the
line of the road had succumbed to the
pressure and reduced the assessment
to six thousand dollars per mile, Eu-
reka alone holding out for the original
assessment as appearing on the roll.
The company vas very anxious 10 Sc
cure the reduction, more on account of
avoiding the establishment of a prece.
dent than because of the amount of
money involved. If this county had
instituted a suit for collection it
would have involved heavy expenses
and a long delay, and our Commits
sioner very properly concluded that it
would be folly for Eureka to bear the
burden of a suit single-handed
for the benefit of the en-
tire State and so reduced the
assessment to the figures demand
ed by the company. Before, howev-
er, they had announced their decis-
ion, happening to meet the agent,
with whom we were acquainted, he
asked us what kind of men composed
the board. We told him they were
all good men who would do what
they thought was right. why"
said he "-," naming a well
known person here, "told me a little
while ago that he would fix the
thing with them for five hundred
dollars" The agent added hat he
hadn't entertained the proposition Tor
a moment. as his company had never
authorized him to make any such in
vesrment. We informed the gentle.
man hat there was not a member of
the board who could be approached
corruptly, and if a decision was ren.
dered in favor of the Railroad
1OIll pduy WHiCh III was Ebu-
orally Supposed would be the
case, that it would be done con
scienciously and because the Com
m~issioners believed it to be for the best
interests of the county. Such a deci-
sion was rendered aud the agent de.
parted for the Bay we'll satisfied with
the success of his mission, as well as
convinced Of the honesty of the Eure-
ka County Dads. Had he, however,
been disposed to resor to corrupt
practices to effect his ends, and given
this irresponsible, characterless fellow
the money he asked for, the reduction
would have been made all the same; the
&c. f. would have pocketed the $500,
andthe agent would have left here I'M
der the impression that our Board of
commissioners was composed OF the
cheapest and dirtiest set Of scalawags
that ever disgraced an official position.
We merely relate this incident to illus
trate how it is sometimes possible for
the acts OF honest men to be- made
the means of placing money in the
pockets Of dishonest persons.
