The safe was taken to the rear OF the
building, broken open through the
under side, and despoiled of some 5000
10 coin and jewelry aud watches TO the
amount of $1,000 more.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81.
The compromise Of the Texas Pacific
proposition was discussed by the
House Committee ON the Pacific Rail-
road.
The committee was presented the
proposition by Lamar in behalf OF
President Tom. Scott, which is the re-
suit of a negotiation which has been
secretly conducted for several weeks
between him and Huntington. A con-
ference of SCOTS Southern friends was
held last night, continuing until a very
late hour, and considerable difficulty
was experienced in coming to an agree
ment. The Huntington party propose
10 feel indifferent about making any
compromise, and Falsenheld aud sonle
other friends OF Scott express suspi-
cion that the Huntingtons only pro-
pose to delay action on SCOTS bill till
late in the season and thereby deprive
it of all remaining chances of enact
ment. The proposition is in brief to
allow the California Southern Pacific
Company to build seven hundred
miles of road east from San Diego
with the same aid of lands and guar
anteed interest that the Texas-Pacific
Company will receive for the remain.

THE NEWS.

By a strict party vote, the Repub-
lican members voting In the negative,
the Senate Investigating Committee
in Louisiana yesterday refused to adopt
a resolution demanding of the Return
ing Board the original returns as sent
up by the Supervisors of Election.
This looks a little like a desire TO shield
the board and prevent o thorough in
vestigation, though the majority of the
committee say they will favor a similar
demand at the proper time.
Ben. Butler has expressed his views
on the presidential situation. He
thinks that 80 many bubbles and
doubts have been raised by both par
ties that it will be impossible to satisfy
the country no matter what the re-
suit may be. A faint of unfair
ness. he says, will cling to
either Tilden or Hayes. In this ex-
tremity he favors the holding ola sec
oud election in May next, the Presi-
dent of the Senate the meanwhile to
oficiate as President. This is about
as fair a proposition as ons could ex-
poet to emanate from Butler.

Stand.

Bottom Facts.
LOUISIANA.

NEW York, Dec. %.
A Times New Orleans special says:
The House Committee subjected Wells
to the severest cross : questioning.
Wells said, about the vacancy in the
Returning Board, that they had ouce
elected Colonel j. 81. Sandige. Demo-
crat, but he had declined to serve.
Subsequently another Democrat, Ar
oyo, was elected a member and Blso he
resigned, saying he would no serve
il another Democrat was not elected.
The name of Hugh Kennedy was
mentioned to make the fifth member,
but the Board could not agree as to
him and went on with its works. The
anvass made by the board had been
done fairly, openly and according to
law.
The Senate Committee il getting at
facts which ante.date the vote . count
ing, and that show how Republicans
were not allowed to vote. II takes u
heroism not in every mans breast to
walk up before the committee and tell
the truth, believing that the act will
cost him his home and probably life.
Guarantee protection to all rel here,
and enough bottom facts would come
out to make the whole Confederate
Congress blush for the inhumanity of
its Democratic kin.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 81.
In the Senate investigating Corr nit
tee, the question adopting McDonald's
resolution, requiring the Returning
Board to produce the original record
of the vote of the State for Presidential
Electors, was discussed, Senator Nc
Donald stating that he had been ad-
vised that the aggregate vote of the
State would not correspond with the
total vote furnished by the Supervis-
ors, and he wanted to see the exact
condition of the returns as made by
the Supervisors.
Howe said the board has furnished
certified copies OF not only the aggre-
gate vote of the State, but also of those
rejected.
Mcdonald said the copies furnished
did not show the votes rejected by the
Supervisors. "
The Chairman stated that the Re-
tn rning Board had TO complete It's work
for the State officers before the 9Th Of
January, and this might prevent tho

THE BULLION TAX.

The Lyon County Times, alluding to
the bullion tax law, says:
As our memory serves us-and it is
pretty good on that point-the Carson
Appeal was the first paper to sound
the warning. As for work done SUBJ
sequent to the Appedl's initiatory
effort, all the papers in the State out
side of Storey county took active part.
The Times published perhaps two ar
ticles on that subject to any of its con-
temporary's one.
We doubt that last remark. The
SENTINEL had IS much to cay on the
subject as any Journal in the State.
Our position has been, and is yet, that
there should be no interference
with the law by the coming
Legislature. A fairer tax than
that which runs against the net pro-
ceeds of the mines was never devised
or imposed. The paying mines OF
the State are probably worth 500, 900,
600 in coin. They represent five times
that amount on paper, and still they
paid taxes last year on only $l4, 000,-
o1o. All other classes of real and
personal property in the State paid
on an aggregate value of S2S 900 900, a
sum at least approximating the real
value. The policy Of the law in ex-
empting from taxation non.produc-
tive mines Ia certainly eminently
sound, the hazardous nature of the
business Of mining considered, but il
can not he denied that the productive
mines have been literally dealt with,
The present law is a just and wise
one and must not he disturbed.

A COLORADO exchange says it is re-
ported upon good authority that the
Kansas Pacific railroad will be pushed
ON from Denver to Salt Lake as soon
as the frost Is out of the ground in the
spring. 1t is thought by the bond
holders that to obtain a portion of the
through carrying trade to the Pacific
coast is the only way they will eve
get their money out of the road; hence
the new move.

LAST summer the Texas farmers
sprinkled Paris green very freely upon
their young plants, which thus sea-
soned, were preysd upon by the bugs
and grasshoppers, and they in turn
we're devoured by the cartridges.
Later on, the negroes took to feasting
upon the birds, and as a result, they
have been seriously afflicted with
cramps in the stomach, which fire..
quently resulted fatally. This is the
most fiendish and ingeniously con
trived system of bulldosing yet re-
ported.

WATERING THE DEsERr.-Itappears
from recent explorations and surveys
that the work of turning the Atlantic

not so formidable an undertaking as
was first supposed. 1t is only neces-
sary to cut a channel through a bar
