A Crooked Transaction,

Seth Williams Post of the Grand Army of the
Republic OF this city, with view of getting up
course of lectures, has had correspondence with
the "Redpah Lyceum Bureau" of Boston, and
the course Of the Bureau has been far from square
or honorable, as viewed from down-east stand
point. Wishing to engage lecturers who stood
foremost on the platform, in the public estimation,
they opened a correspondence with the Iedpath
Bureau, asking f they could secure Mr.. Beecher.
The reply came, dated Oct. eth, saying, eve can
probably place Mr.. Beecher with you in Novem-
Der or December" The terms and other partcu-
lars were stated. Before the offer could be accept
ed, on the 9th Of October, Mr.. Getche who did
the correspondence for the Post, received the fol-
lowing letter; "Since writing you on the Eth inst,
We have concluded an engagement with another
party in your town for Mr.. Beecher. Our offer
to you must therefore be Withdrawn"
The Post justly claims that Mr.. Redpath had no
right to close an engagement with another party,
after correspondence had been opened with
them, aud especially without giving time for the
proposal Of the Bureau to be accepted by the Post
for had Mr.. Gechel on the receipt Of the letter
dated the 9TH, Immediately sent an answer accept
ing the terms, he not receiving the letter until
the morning of the Sth, the engagement would
have been closed with parties outside the city.

How IT WoRKs.-The law requiring
all saloons to be closed on election day
works well in Virginia City. The wbis-
key bottles are decorously covered with
:owels, and when a thirsty party or poll
tician enters the bar-keeper shakes his
head and walks gravely away. The
thirsty politician then takes a mean ad-
vantage Of his temporary absence, and
slips behind the bar, lifts up towel or
two, helps himself to water, etc., and
Sips out. When the bar-keeper returns
lie is surprised to find some silver coin
lying on the counter, which was notthere

WANTED, AN OFFICIAL PAPER.--The
necessity of having some paper published
at the State Capital designated to pub
fish the laws of the State, at least those
of a general character, becomes more
and more apparent after each session of
the Legislature. There is not a session
passes but important changes are made
in existing laws, of which the Courts
and public know nothing in manner to
make them directory. Nor are their
provisions known until the statutes are
distributed, which does not happen for
several months after the august body
has adjourned. An official paper in
which the laws could be published by
authority, would do away with the great
inconvenience now felt. 1t seems as if
there was a great deal of unnecessary de-
lay in printing and circulating the Stat
utes, especially the amendments to the
Codes, some of which went into imme-
diate effect.

than the generality of that class Of NOR
tails. Our CLEAN comes about once in
one or two weeks-it is when the Pacific
Newspaper Publishing Company sends
us a copy Of their specimen Patent Out
side" and Supplement. With what de
think some friend has sent us something
regarding himself or some mutual nc
quantance or perhaps it is some occur
renee to which he wishes to direct our
particular attention. The look Of eXpec-
tation fades from our face as we see the
well-known print which betollens a pat
ent outside. We breathe more freely,
there is then no bad news communicated
to us in this manner, and in few mo-
ments we begin to feel supremely happy
in the thought that Mr.. Carlos White is
sufficiently recovered from his spell of
lunaey to remember us. Then We sit
down to see what is going to be inflicted
on us for the next month. This story
of "a Fortunate Mistake" we had in the

will be given to the people in about forty
different forms. Next week we will got
it in the San Juan Times, week after in

us in season Of what we are to receive

THE CRESCENT AND THE CROSS.

The Record Union fears the Turkish
situation is such as prelules a war Of re-
ligioa in which the Crescent and the
Cross will again contend for the worlds
dominion as in the days Of the Crusades.
Whether Mahometan fanatcism can be
worked up to such pitch that they Will
throw themselves against the combined
powers Of Christendom we are not pre-
pared to say. But to those who have
studied the rise and progress Of Moslem
ism, it would seem as if the prestige Of
Islam had departed.
Centuries ago, when the Western
World was just beginning as it were to
emerge from tho gloom Of the Dark
Ages, and all Of civilization was in
the Orient, the power of Moslem faith
was at its zenith. With the cry Of "The
Koran or the sword' its devotees had
carried its banner over Asia, Africa and
parts Of Europe. Then Chrstendom
united to turn back the tide, and the
fanatcism Of the world met and contend
ed for the mastery upon the plains Of
PA ostine. The advantages all lay upon
the side of the Moslems. They were the
equals Of their Christian foes in courage,
in the knowledge Of the art Of war, were
inspired with the same dogree Of
religious fury, and were already in pos
session Of the battle ground. And al
though in the Holy War the full power
Of Western Europe was put forth to re-
deem the Holy Sepulchre from the Ma
hometan hordes, yet it was unavailing.
The temporary kingdom which was estab-
lshed Mt Jerusalem would have needed
the armies Of Europe for its defence.
The power Of the Saracens was united
that of their Christian foes divided by
the petty jealousies existing among the
different nationalities of which it was
composed. There could be but one re-
suit from this and when that followed the
crescent moved westward until it had
crossed the Bosphorus and established
its present European domain.
The Muhometans of to-day are not the
ones Of eight centuries ago. With the
define of the religious wars came also
decline Of military spirit. Perhaps the
power of the dervishes and muezzins
may rekindle the flames of fnnatcism
enough to make all Of that faith unite in
another attempt to carry the Koran into
Christian lands, but we doubt it. The
Mahomctln powers have yielded many
Of the privileges left them by the terms Of
their truce with European nations. The
United States, though in its infancy MS
a nation curbed the pride OF Tripoli and
Tunis, and her example was speedily
followed by other powers. The statesmen
Of MOsIem countries are well aware that
to provoke a contest now in which the
Christian world would be united against
them, would be to invite the dismem ber-
ment Of all their governments. No doubt
such n contest would be n bloody one, as
are all of those into which the spirit Of
Of bigotry and lanaticsm enter. But we
would not a2prchend but the final out
come Of such a contest would be beneh-
cal to the interest Of modern civilization.
