Our San Francisco dispatches this
morning contain one Of special
extraordinary interest, though we are
not at all surprised thereat, having
been satisfied for some months past
that Stanford 81 Co had been sort OF
snubbing Mr.. Cohen, who feels that
he has about as long a head for bus1-
ness as any of them, and deserving
of more consideration than he has
received. 1t has also been some
months since Cohen's great telegraph
scheme was broached with flourish
of trumpets, and nothing more heard
of it. 1t knocked at the door OF
Congress for grand franchise, and
promising next thing to postal sys-
TEN in favor of the people. We
quite believe, at present, that while at
Washington Cohen enlisted the sym
patty of Tom Scott, and vice versa, in
magnificent scheme for cheap rail
road and telegraph-provided govern
would give them boost in advance.
1t is thus easy to see how Cohen and
the Central Pacific corporation could
become estranged and work in oppo-
site directions. A. A. Cohen was the
proprietor Of the Oakland and Ala
media ferries previous to their con-
solidation with the Central Pacific.
to which those interests are an i'm
mense source of profit. He Is man
of much more than ordinary business
capacity and reasonably sensitive re-
specting the back seat allotted him in
the close corporation of the Central
Pacific.

Honesty and the Army.

The individual collapse OF the
Secretary of Wharf.-The practical head
of the army-is not so much in itself,
did it not afford occasion for special
remark upon the everlasting ques-
ton of turning the Indians entirely
over to the military. This question
has lately been pressed with more
than usual vigor. 1t has enlisted
upon either side almost an equal
share of the speaking and writing
talent of the country, so far as pub
lie officials and journalistic pens are
concerned; but how far the great
public at large may be in favor OF
giving the military any more power
in this country, is quite another
thing. But a fraction of the whole
people, as it were, may be truly said
to be actively interested at alex
cept in the matter of expense. The
whole people are naturally in favor
of paying as little as possible for
transacting the Indian, as well as
every other public business. On the
score of economy, then, what ac-
ceptable testimony have We for be-
lieving for a minute that it is the
proper thing to make SO important a
change7
There is no other branch of our
governmental service that is SO re-
plete with weak and dishonest men
as that Of the United States army.
After the rebellion was crushed, the
reorganization of the regular army
afforded vacuum for hundreds OF
the lazy and INSCRIPTIONS TO rush
into easy places for life, through po-
litical and other influence, and, once
in, these shoulder-strapped scrubs
are petted and tempted in thousand
ways not characteristic of civil life.

Geographic dispatch from Reno APP

1t is reported this morning that
the Central Pacific people have five

mashed in near Cisco. The weather
is clearing up in the mountains, and

shouldn't judge the young man has
any idea of the length of time re-
quired to construct even hundred
yards of snow-shed. 1t would take
about four or five months to rebuild
that length of shed, and two or three
weeks to clear the track before COM

Safety.valves Of Public Virtue.

We believe it was Humboldt who
said that volcanoes are the safety
valves of the earth. The fall of Sec
retary Belknap on the score OF hon
esty calls the remark to mind. we
do not look upon the affair as ma
tional calamity by any means; on the
other hand we rather believe it to
be a national blessing. In the first
place, we desire to see the nation put
to the severest test in every leading
particular, and, perhaps, the sooner
the elimination takes place the bet
ter.
r. But the moral we wish to point, if
any, is the fact that in Beiknaps
criminal extravaganza and exposure,
society at large is afforded so free and
easy occasion for proclaiming its in-
diyidual truth and honesty. II IT
were not for such cases as this, we
might never know how truly good and
yirtuous we all are. Now is the time
for reading and preaching sermons
from the journalistic and reverend
standpoints, and every man and
woman can exclaim solos, or In
chorus-"Lord, how glad l am not
as other folks are"-especially like
Secretary Belknapl 1t is just such
events as the one in question which
enable us to ascertain how many
strictly virtuous and never-to-be-
tempted people there are in the
world.
1t is on such occasions as these,
too, that the opponents of Grants adj
ministration revamp certain hack
neyed accusation-that is, that Bel
KNAPP is simply representative OF the
kind of men Grant has kept around
him from the time he was first inau-
purated. The absurdity of this is
most glaring, and especially so IN the
cases of Babcock and Belknap. If
he has kept these people about HIM
during his administration of the
Presidency, it must not be forgotten
that these men and others like them
were precisely the sort of cattle his
team was composed Of with which he
overrun the SHAREHOLDERS Confede-
racy and trampled it out of existence.
Were the people not highly satisfied
with the resulta
General Sherman also says that, up
to this last action, he considered Bel
knap's career unspottsd. 1t is possi-
BILE that Babcock was more guilty
than Belknap, but it was not proven.
There seems to be no doubt of Bel
knap's "slop over, and that altogether
the President may be more or less
crucifed between two thieves. He
was not the first person of prominence
to be so punished. Belknap's peni-
tence can hardly save him, but the
advantages of his fall, as above emu
merated, ought to satisfy the wants
of a great and universally virtuous
y,oonla

of posts are shining marks and easy
prey for contractors and the like
specializing thieves. If the reserva-
tons and military posts--the terms
are synonymous--were all lnvesti-
gated to the bottom, it is perfectly
safe to say that the bulk OF the
stealing and covering up incl
dent thereto would be charg-
ed up against the commits
stoned soldier of the country, at the
expense of the private and people.
The worst feature of the case is,
that the military delinquent is not
in reach of a civil process. The ar
my is greatly privileged machine
An aristocratic makeup response
BILE only to itself. The American
people are p,uch to blame for this.
The very origin and history OF the
country have been closely linked
with war-well enough, indeed,
when waged in the right; but an
republic as boastful as ours, and
whose battles have been universally
won by the courage and endurance
of its civilian population, the less
power we confer upon the military
per Sc, the more consistent with the
present and future well-being of the
nation. There is no royal road to
honesty. A titled and dazzlingly
dressed person, living on a small sal
ary, and whose whole life is chiefly
one of idleness and temptation, is
not calculated for the embodiment
of honesty, or the inspiration of it
in Others.
1t is customary and fashionable to
find fault with the civil service per-
tanning to the Indians, but with all
its complications, who would not
rather be Delano than Belknap9 The
transfer of the Indians to the war
department might possibly concent-
rate the business, but it would be less
open to investigation; delinquents
would be harder to reach, and be-
sides the change would be totally at
variance with the theory and intent
of our government and institutions.
The discovery of Belknap's short
comings was more matter of acct
dent than original insight or re-
search. In conclusion, we will say
without fear of contradiction from
any quarter, that the whole Black
Hills excitement is the result of
job on the part of the military, and
it must not be forgotten that Bel
KNAPP made tour of that country
last summer IN company with the
officer in command of the depart
ment, and doubtless at the invita-
ton of the Division Commander, be-
tween whom there has been a deep
and shrewdly-laid plan to bring on
an Indian war, whereby favorites in
the way of army contractors are to
feather their nests as well. The rec
ommendation of the erection of two
new posts on the Yellowstone at a
Saving to Government O. of $780,
000," is only one item in the scheme.

Considerable excitement prevails
among the miners and laborers on
account of a mining company in
Spruce Mountain who hired all the
labor and bought all they conld on
credit and then sold out, failing to
settle their bills. They will make it

was postponed three years. Another day was

notified her that circumstances rendered am

above Bangor, he died of apopleXy. His re-
mains were taken to Fort Point, where the fort
was being built. and there buried with military
honors and religious ceremonies. There his
remains nave probably ever since remained.
| He was 63 years of age. In person he was a
man of commanding presence. tall stout and of
| dark complexion. His portrait probably paint

| His oldest son graduated at Harvard in 1143,

General Court the next year. and was the first
Judge of Probate in Cumberland county, which

Francis, was Collector Of Customs at this port
