CoRNUcoPIA.- C. Reeves, who is
now engaged in mercantile pursuits in
Cornucopia, arrived in town last Satur.
day. he reports times dull in the mines.
AZ they appear to be all over the coast
ut present. He thinks the new camp
has bright future in store for it aud
that ths mines are good as any in The
country. There is only one mill in the
place. and, considering that ouly
eighteen or twenty tous of ore can be
reduced with the present milling f.ciIi-
ties. the bal!ion product compares fla
vorably with any camp in the State.
MIR. and Mrs. j. NJ. Barrett left yester.
dao for Cornucopii, where they intend
to locate permanently.

THE BILLIARD TOURNAMENT.
More Excitement as IL Progresses.

Last night all the boys promptly re-
paired to the Capital to witness the
champions of the town contend for the
prize cue. Speculation was rife among
them as to the chances of Mr. Ragsdale,
during which time was called aud We
commenced to scratch the following.
The two first to play were Messrs.
DeRitz and Siegel, and. like the farce
before a tragedy. created n great deal of
amusement. AS was expected, the
former won, but both perforated their
scores with the following array of holes:
DeRitz--0 l 30s3 2043so o 6o07

Siegel--1 04 521101 1012oo4

Next in order were Messrs. Ragsdale
and Siegel, and although the cry was
anything TO beat Ragsdale." Mr.. Il.
gained an easy victory. and all hands
walked up to Hubler's bar to irrigate
with some of his best, which in the Ger
man vernacnlar slid down "shust like
lie" Following tells the sad tale to
those who bought pools nit Siegel:

Things began TO grow lively and the
general expectation of the assembly was
that Jack" would finally win the cue.
He Immediately came to the point with
Mr.. H:nkey, and both improved on
their former scores. Mr.. r. claimed
foul on Mr.. H. in the last stage of the
game and by some well executed shots
won, although during the tournament
he has played in an exceedingly ragged
edged manner:

The next game. between the same

exciting one of the evening. The lat
ter gentleman is an excellent player aud
will make Mr.. Wise w-RinSle his brow
to defeat him. AS so much confidence
had been placed in the favorite. his de-

the same nerve he would seldom lose

LANGUAGE OF FINGER RiScs.-In
case of a gentleman wishing TO marry
literally in the market with hi,
heart-he wears plain or chased gold
ring upon the first finger of the left
hand.
When success attends his suit and he
Is actually engaged, the ring passes &c
the second finger.
After marriage it passes to the third
finger.
If, however, the gentleman desires to
tell the fair ones ths, he not only is no,
in market. but that he does not design
to marry a, all, he wears the >ignet upon
his little finger, and all ladies NAV un.
derstand that he is out of their reach.
With the fai. sex the laws of the
ring are:

From the ". y. Herald, Sept. 26fh.
TafrS Defence OF His Circular.

We printed, Yesterday, a despatch
from ourregular correspondent at Wash
ington conveying the complaint of At
torney General Taft that the Herald
has done HIM injustice, and defending
his circular against the criticisms which
have been directed against it. We are
constrained 20 say that Mr. Taft's argu-
mcnts and citations fail to convince Us,
but We are not sorry that he has given
an occasion for pointing out what we
conceive TO be his mistakes of law and
faults Of logic. We are aware that his
position as the chie: law adviser of the
government creates a strong presump-
ton than he is correct and we are in
error. We ask no reader to accept our
assertions, but only TO examine our
proofs.
We Will first show, by evidence so
clear as TO torestall contradiction, that
Attorney General Taft. in preparing his
circular, proceeded with slovenly haste.
which pfecipitated him into gross and
slaTIng Inaccuracies. In the very be-
ginning OF his circular he asserts that
elections at which members of the
House Of Representatives are chosen
include by law elections at which cleo
tors of President and Vice President
are appointed" There is no statute
which gives the least countenance TO
his opinion. and i; is in tiasrant repug-
nance to the constitution. The authors
OF the act giving the federal government
supervision of elections were too sound
and we'll instructed as lawyers TO make
any Illusion TO the appointment of Pres
ideutal electors in the bill which thev
prepared. They were careful TO limi,
II TO ''an election for Representatives
or Delegate 10 the Congress OF the Uni
ted States The reason OF this limi,a-
ton he> in that ecticn OF the constitu-
tion which declares that the electors
shall be appointed BY each State in
such manner as the legislature thereof
may direct" The federal government,
has not the slightest right OF interfer-
ence. Any State tha, chooses NAV ap-
point is Presidential electors hv its
Legislature, and this method was ac-
tnally adopted by several States at an
earlier period and was continued by
one of them down 10 the time of the
civil war. Many States will choose no
members Of Congress next November,

As this in its provisions can be made
available for the punishment of those
who may be guilty Of unlawful discnm-
lnation against citizens of the United
States while exercising the elective
franchise, on account Of their race.
There is no attempt in the sections
under consideration to provide sPej =
cally for such an offence. If the case
Is provided for at all it is because it
comes under the general prohibition
against any wrongful act or. = Twful
obstruction in this particular. V are.
therefore. directly called upon to decide
whether penal statute enacted by Con-
gress with its limited powers, which
provides in general language, broad
enough-to cover wrongful acts without
q well as within the constitutional ju-
sisdictioa. can be limited by Judicial
construction, so as to make It operate
only on that which Congress NAV right
fully prohibit and punish. For this
purpose We must take these sections of
the statute as ihey are. We are not
able to reject part which Is unconsti-
tutional and retain the remainder, il
there be such, from that which is not. ;"
The question then is wheth-
er We can introduce words Of Limitation
into penal statute so as to make il
specific, when, as expressed, it is gen.
eral only." This would TO
some extent substitute the judicial for
the legislative department Of the gov
ernment. Within lis legitimate sphere
Congress is supreme and beyond the
control OF the courts: but il il steps out
side Of its constitutional limitations and
attempts that which is beyond its reach
the courts are authorized TO. and when
called upon in due course of legal pro-
ceeding must, annul its encroachments
upon the. reserved power of the States
and the people. To limit this statute
in the manner now asked for would be
to make new law, not to enforce an
old one" The whole was therefore
declared void by reason Of repugnance
to the constitution. We wish Attorney
General Taft would tell us how it can
be dead for all purposes and vet alive
for controlling federal elections. 1t
Is true that the decision was not pro-
nounced in a case growing out of a fed
eral election, but the reasoning of the
Court is fatal to the annulled act in
every application.

benevoient-looking red headed man had
taken a seat in 4 Monroe avenue saloon
Yesterday, little. withered up old nan
came in and asked him 10 take some.
thing. They both drank. the cigar,
were called for, and the little man sud
denly turned to the other and said:
For thirty long years have follow
ed your trail night and dav, You broke
up my happy family. villain that you
are. but now come on: here and fight me
like a man, -
Il will fight you to the death" was
the determined reply. and both rushed
into the back yard. talking about bowie
knives, unhonored graves. and so forth.
The saloonist ran to the front door,
whistled for policeman, and then hur-
ried to the back door TO protest. He
saw coat-taIl going over the fence,
realized the situation and went in and
solemnly wiped off his bar with his
elbow. while a sad smile lurked around
the corners OF his mouth.

Kiss her and leave her--shy love is clay T.
They smoothed her tresses of dark brown hair
On her forehead Of stone they laid il fair;
Over the ewes which gazed too much,

With a tender touch they closed up well
The sweet, thin lips that had secrets TO tell;
About her brown and beautiful face
They tied her veil and her marriage lace.
And drew on her white feet the white silk shoes
Which were the whitest, no eve could choose
Gone away they said, ''God underestimate
