it successful; but the genlemen's
dressing room-which must have
been underline direction of the ladies
whose mastery inactivity had con-
signed them to the shades, with the
spectators-was a scene OF woeful
confusion. Fancy poor, tired men,
who had danced attendance upon
horses part of the day, to transfer
their delicate attentions to the ladies
during the evening, waiting in line
one hour for their hats, and perhaps
not even then obtaining them. Fancy
the inward cursing and swearing,
and then fancy downright row and
slapping of faces by men as high in
the military service as generals, and
there YOU have it. Don't tell it in

no blood-letting it was somewhat
amusing.
A ball of different kind took
place Saturday night--a carnival ball
for the benefit of the Italian Benevo-
lent Association. There was no row
there, though the masqueraders were
not all, at least, from the upper
grades of society. The fact is, a
masquerade ball in San Francisco,
where the masks are allowed to be
retained all the evening, cannot be
anything but of doubtful quality.

OUR SAN FRANCISCO LETTER.
SAN Francisco, March 1.

DAN L RANttS'O,
DEAR TrMEs.-The event of the
season, the Centennial Ball, took
place as advertised on the 22nd. 1t
had been hard day upon the Amer
lean population, as an attempt at
four-days' holiday, commencing on
the Saturday previous, proved too
much for them. They broke down
on Monday, generally speaking, and
went to business, but did manage
from IL A. M. on Tuesday to make
play-day. The races took pater IA
milias for the best part OF the time
out of the city; that helped a little,
for though respectable people don't
do much betting, it is still something
to see the world assembled to enjoy
the intellectual feast Of horse racing.
1t was all aristocratic, and so people
went, came home, and went to the
ball to dance a little and swear a
good deal. The hall was handsomely
decorated, star spangled banners
being used profusely, with other dec
orations of tinsel, gas.jet notices,
and sparkling fountains, all together
showing a taste that ladies are apt to
display to better advantage than
their male competitors are wont to
| do when affairs are left to their man.
agement. The ladies' dresses were
mostly magnificent, as the richest
toilets to be obtained were displayed
very freely. Numbers who would
not deign to attend "a public ball in
general were allowed to be gazed at,
and as one of the attractions of the
bill advertised had been the names
of ladies whose wealth precludes the
necessity of taking advantage Of any
amusement tout of our set" of
course the public were duly graft
fed. Not altogether so, for some
whose names appeared on the bills
did not feel altogether disposed to
crafty the public any other way than
by sitting among the spectators,
thereby advertising: eve have lent

liable to contaminate it by mixed as
sociation.' The common herd is

of such things, and ourselves and

BELKNAP'S DISGRACE.

The whole country was electrified
by the Eastern dispatches conveying
the tidings of Secretary Bslknap's
overwhelming and irretrievable dis
grace. This man who has been the
trusted adviser and bosom friend OF
the President, who has long held an
honorable position in the Cabinet,
has proved himself unworthy of the
recognition of honest men. He has
forgotten the dignity of his position,
used his high office as the means
of enriching himself, brought dis
grace upon the nation, and betrayed
his friends and his countrymen. 1t
is surprising that a man VINO
possessed talents to raise himself to
such a position as he occupied
in the councils of the nation
should lend himself willingly and
eagerly to such low, miserable, petty
stealing as he is guilty OF. The
House, without any unnecessary de-
bate, impeached HIM. 1t now remains
to be seen what the Senate will do;
but the question arises whether they
can legally try him, as the President
accepted his resignation before his
The question, how
ever, will be brought before the Su-
preme Court. The law provides that
all officers of the Government, who
directly or indirectly take any
money, property or other valuable
consideration from any person for
procuring any contract, office or place
from the G overnment, shall be de-
clared guilty of misdemeanor and
shall be imprisoned not more than
two wears and fined not more than
$4,000. This law may apply to just
such cases as Belknap's. But if the
Supreme Court should decide that he
ceas ID to be a civil officer from
the hour his resignation is accepted,
then the question arises, can Con-
gress legally impeach a citizen for
crimes or misdemeanors committed
during his term of office. There APP
pears to be nc constitutional pro-
vision to cover such case. If such
is the case, then all honest men,
whether Republicans or Democrats,
must regret the action of the Presi-
dent 10 accepting his resignation,
knowing the charges made against
him. without first consulting with
his cabinet. Let us hope this case
will be thoroughly Investigated and
the guilty suffer the full punish

"GOOd Morning."

This IS our nrst appearance as u
daily, but henceforth we shall
every morning Except Sunday be
on hand without fail to lmpart to
our numerous patrons and friends
the latest kilograms, the latest news,
and the most reliable information
from all sources that will contribute
to their information and benefit.
By this arrangement we hope 20
supply the increasing demand for
an intelligent, reliable Monday
morning paper. To secure this,
neither expense or trouble will be
spared. wr
The course we propose to pursue
is easily defined, for, excepting
such changes as are absolutely nee
essary, it will be the same as that
of the Tri- Weekly, whose success
and increasing prosperity assured
us met the approval'of all intelli-
gent readers. Without being strict
ly party organ. We shall, in the
approaching campaign, support the
principles as set forth in the Repub-
lican platform, believing them to
be the true principles of a republi-
can form of government, and cal
cnlated more than any other to the
advancement and progress of the
country.
Being situated in the midst of a
mining country, We shall give
weekly summary. not only of every
mine in the Devils Gate District,
but of those of prominence in ad-
joining counties. These reports
will be prepared from personal in
spection by competent and expe-
rienced mining reporter, while our
correspondents in California and
the territories will truthfully record
every important discovery of merit.
Believing that the usefulness of
the press is greatly impaired, if not
entirely destroyed. by the PERM
cious habit of personalities, we
shall avoid everything pertaining
to such. In the words of an emf
nent journalist, it shall be our con-
slant aim "to entertain and inter-
est the public while giving in
struction; to impress none but cor
rect and elevated moral principles
upon the popular mind; to fight
against vice so as to do good and
not mischief; to resist all forms of
public robbery, and to exercise a
wholesome terror over open villains
and sneaking hypocrites; to deal
out justice to all men and all
parties; to encourage the good as
ardently and as pertinaciously as
we endeavor to repress the evil"
This will be our endeavor, and if
an honest, candid, intelligent and
reliable paper can be successful, we
feel assured beyond doubt of ours,
for we will remain unawed by in
fluence, and unbribed by gain"

Coon APPoINTMENT.-We learn
through Washington dispatches of
yesterday that Capt. F. c. Lord, Of
Virginia City, has received the APP
pointment of Internal Revenue Col
lector for the district of Nevada,
vice Geo. A. King, resigned. Capt.
Lord has for long time acted in the
capacity of chief clerk of that office.
The appointment is worthy one, as
he understands the duties and re-
quirements probably as well as, if
not better than, any one else who
could have been selected. The Cap
tain has been long favorably known
in this country, his genial manners
endearing him to all.

Eastern Telegraphic Shayings.

Caleb p. Marsh has given some
damaging testimony before the Com
mittee on Expenditures regarding
Secretary of War, Belknap. Belknap
offered his resignation, which was
accepted by the President. Marsh
claims to have paid Belknap $4,000
tor the appointment of post trader at
Fort Sill, Indian Territory. Resolu-
lions of impeachment against him
were adopted by the House, the evil
dence of malfeasance in Office being
so positive that the step was abso-
lutely necessary.
LATER.
Great excitement prevails in Wash
ington regarding Belknap's disgrace.
1t is reported that upon handing his
resignation to the President he said
he wished he had killed himself when
he found that Marsh was going to
tell the whole truth. The President
replied, 81 wish to God you had done
it,"
The report that Belknap had COM
mitted suicide is unfounded, although
he suffers great mental excitement
He says he is alone responsible, and
considers his duty to his wife greater
than his own honor.
The New York "Times' and
"Herald" of Thursday denom-
mate the exposure as a national dis
grace. The latter paper argues he
cannot be impeachod, as he is nc
longer a civil officer.

California talks of reserving ten
per cent. of the earnings of pris-
oners in the penitentiary to be set
aside for the use of the prisoners,
to give them start in the world
when discharged. A most com
mendable plan in conception, and
we hope practice will prove its sue
cess. State prisons are too gen
orally institutions for educating
persons in crime instead of reform
ing them, and anything that looks
like reform in state prison manage
ment is worthy of trial.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

From our New York dispatches
we learn that of the So, 900 laborers
represented by the Trades Unions
of that city, some 81, 500 are idle.
This is bad showing for the largest
commercial city in the United
States, on our centennial year. AL
though the building trades have
suffered the most, yet every branch
of industry has decreased in pro-
portion. 1t is said the "mechan-
ical industries have not recovered
from the financial depression caused
by the panic of 1878. 1t seems the
number Of hands are. steadily in
creasing, and wages also steadily
decreasing" We have heard bitter
com plants of hard times here, but
with the flooding of our mines, the
heavy storms, the burning of Vir-
GINA, our laborers are revellng IN
luxury compared with those of the
east. Nevada may be rough and
rugged, but within her bosom she
has a generous and mighty heart of
silver, which supplies every artery
and vein of commerce and labor
with such rich blood that poverty
and want are almost unknown. Ills
said mother earth never withholds
her gifts from those who till her
soil to those who have the courage
and energy to seek deeper, we
know she yields her richest treas
ures.

THE FEMALE HOODLUM.

SAYS the San Francisco Chronicle
IAN investigation shows the budding
womanhood fSan Francisco to be in a
very demoraliZed condition and Il cry
ing disgrace to the society which pei
mits such Il state of affairs to exist.
Worst of all, the evil has invaded a
class of society not usually productive of
the genus hoodlum, and in a manner
that will not admit of its speedy sup
preston. In fact, the curse of hood
lumisn has seemingly ~leavened the
whole rising generation, and both
male and female now assert their right
to breathe an atmosphere of absolute
independence, and snap their fingers at
the parental authority of any degree or
description whatever. In the cases of
girls of all classes and conditions. the
result is a most deplorable and damag-
ing one. 1t has been remarked by
strangers to our city that the behavior
of girls in their teens on our streets is
very brazen and unaccountabie They
can be seen late at night trooping about
in their short dresses, and smiling and
Sinking in the most maudlin way at
the w~ell-dressed, ~long-coated, cigarette
stained statues who disgrace the street
corners and themselves for the purpose
of catching the glance of these same
little girls. The characteristics of the
female hoodlums are Il quick walk. the
hair pulled down over the forehead,
and cut off square like the shock of a
Washoe Indian squaw. and Il coinplexi,
ty of attire that is far beyond their age
and capacity to carry. 1t Is no great
trouble to pick them out, and the only
thing that will bewilder the curious OBJ
server is the number to be met with. To
