to mandate from Salt Lake City, De-
tectives Meagher and John Coffee yes
terday arrested in this city young man
named Glenn. B. Lee, who is suspected
OF being concerned in the recent robbery
OF Wells, Fargo IL Co.'S express car,

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 24 - Attorney
General Hamilton has written an elabor-
ate opinion as to the grounds on which
voters may kbe challenged at the polls.
He was consulted by Governor Irwin in
consequence Of the publication of Hol-
lands black list. The letter is addressed
to Inspectors and Judges of Elections for
their guidance. The gist of it is con-
tanned in the following extract: You are
not permitted to entertain a challenge to
voter on any ground whatever, except
for one or all of the following causes
(See Political Code, Section 1230) first
that he is not the person whose name
appears on the Register; second that he
has not been resident of the State for
Blk months preceding the election; third,
that he has not resided within the pre-
cinct for thirty days next preceding the
election; fourth, that he has before voted
that day; fifth, that he has been convict
ed OF felony and not pardoned. When
therefore, any voters name is found in
the Great Register or Ward Register,
| IA 10 be Il
lenga taken on one OF other of the
grounds above stated, you must place the
ballot, without being examined, in the
ballot-box. Alleged falsity, irregularity
or lnsuificlency of any entry on the Great
or Ward Registers, is no ground for a
challenge. These particulars can alone
be questioned by direct proceedings in
the proper District Court to cancel the
entry. In the case of citizens of foreign
birth, the fact that the time and place of
their naturalization is not stated on the
Great or Ward Register, is no proof or
| presumption that they are not citizens of
the United State. This is specially true
in cases where it appears from the Reg
ster that such persons have been trans
ferred from other Counties" The names

Blondlng. S. M. Wilson, Joseph Naph-
toly, John L. Doyle, John G. Burch, j.
B. Lamar and ]. T. Boyd are appended
to the letter as concurring in the views
expressed therein.
Governor Irwin, who is now in the
city, states that he will call no session
OF the Legislature, as requested by the
Democratic State Central Committee,
believing it, under the Attorney Gener-
ais decision, to be entirely unnecessary.

MINERS WAdEs.-In all parts Of the
world labor in mines command higher
rate of wages than labor above ground,
and for many obvious redsons. The
work is harder, though the hours may
be shorter, owing to the great heat in
the lower levels, ana there is always
certain attendant element of danger.
which requires remuneration. the in
situation that the mines cannot be
worked at fair profit On account of the
high prevalent price OF labor is suscepti-
BILE of contradiction by statistics. A
similar effort, but pushed further, was
made in England some time ago to keep
down the rising wages of miners in the
coal mines, but it was Intellectual. The
miners knew their value and stood out,
and the other party had to come to terms.
At present there is really no difference
between the wages earned by the En-
glish miner and those earned by his con-
frere on the Comstock. In addition to
this. taking in another question of politi-
cal economy, these high rates of wages
are directly profitable to the country
where theys are received. for the money
IS spent and distributed among the popu-
lation. On the whole it will be gener-
ally conceded that miners earn every
dollar they get, and few outside OF those
directly interested in the payment would
wish to see the amount reduced. f.

DEAR SIR:-It may be some satisfac-
ton to you to be informed of the result
of the trial of the Peruvian Syrup in my
family. My daughter was brought low
by typoid fever last Spring, and after the
fever lett her she continued very weak,
and the simplest food distressed her.
For months she remained in tho same
debilitated condition; but from the first
of September last, when she commenced
taking the Syrup, the digestive functions
improved, and she steadily gained
strength and vivacity; and now, after
taking two bottles. she il restored to o
good state of health; indeed, she appears
more really healthy than she has for
several years past. am of opinion that
the "Protoxide of Iron" contained in
the Peruvian Syrup, was adapted to her
case, and effected what no other known
medicine could have effected.
Yours truly, S. COBB.

Dsath OF Chas. Z. DeLonc.

y pflvata telegram received in this
place Yesterday, announces the death of
Chas- Z. DaLong at Virginia City yester-
day morning. The prominence Of the
deceased renders proper more than a
passing notice. Chas DeLong was a
native of Illinois. He went to California
on sailing vessel that arrived At San
Francisco in the Spring of 80; he was
| then in his 18th year. We first hear
from him near Sacramento, where he was
employed in an humble occupation. He
drIited around the different mining
camps for two or three years, working
at whatever he could get to do, and 10
1858 was at Camptonville. From there
be went to Parke's Bar, where he studied
law. In 1854 he went to Marysyille.
Iuha county; aud was elected from that
county to the California Legislature in
1886, taking his seat in January, 1857,
He was reelected in 1858, and at the
close of his term was elected to the State
Senate. taking his seat in 1860 In the
Fall of 1862 he went to Virginia City,
Nevada, practising law there with
marked success. In 1865 he was q can
didate for the Z. S. Senate, JAS. Nye
beating him in the Legislature by one
vote. In 1867 he was again candidate
and was again beaten by Nye by one
vote. he continued to practice law in
Virginia City till the Spring of 1870,
when be was appointed U. S. Minister to
Japan. Here he displayed great
ability. and won for himself
national reputation. He raised
the position to the dignity of first
class embassy and in tho Oneida affair
and the discussion between the British
minister and himshlf displayed great
deal of diplomatic talent. He also Undue
ed the japanese officials to make ex-
tensive purchases of machinery etc, in
this country, thus opening the way for
large and increasing trade and was
also the means of causing a number of
japanese youths to come to this country
to be educated. In his official capacity
he did great amount practical good
for his country. He was man of
great intellectual ability and was below
ed and respected by all Had be lived
it was believed by many he would have
been the choice of the State Legislature
for the next U. S. Senator, but Fate has
decided otherwise. A few weeks ago he
was taken sick with q severe attack of
typhoid feaver, from which he never
rallied. The State exchanges from time
to time contained brief illusions to his
illness, and it was the opinion of many
his indisposition would be temporary.
The news Of his death will be n source of
regret to every one. Cut of in his 44th
year, with every prospect of long lease
OF honorable and useful life he will be
long remembered on the Coast on which
he spent his life and which shares in his
idivdual fame and memory.

ELLIS NOT COMING. From a private
letter received in this place yesterday
we learn that Col. Ellis, the Democratic
nomenee for Congress, will not speak
Mt Phoebe during the present campaign,
The letter was in answer to telegram
from this place inquiring would he
speak here this week, and in it he saws
that owing to previous engagements it
will be impossible. So that neither
Congressional candidate will appear in

THE political poetry received at this
Office so far is not quite up to the
Autumn style It is ell-meanipg but
insufficient. An effuson received last

cation can't harmonic such n line of de.
parture. We are willing to accede to the
rules Of poetic license, but must draw
the line somewhere you know.

An incident occurred on recent trip,
says a correspondent, over the Union nPaciiic
Railroad that may be of interest to our
readers. We were rolling along between
Salt Lake and Omaha, when | made my
way into the smoking car to enjoy cigar
I noticed a group gathered in the centre Of
the car, and crowding my way up, saw two
men gambling.
One was o well dressed man, but bearing
the general appearance of blackleg; the
other was vcritable miner, just as he came
from the mountains, with long, grizzlcd
beard rough, coarse, and dirty clothes, but
with lots of gold The play was for quite
large stakes, and heard whispers that the
gambler was about to fleece the miner, and
much sympathy was manifested for him.
The game-draw-p -poker-stil went on,
with hardly word spoken by the players ;
till finally, when large sum on the board,
the gambler being called to show his hand,
threw down three aces and two queens, and
reached for the money the miner stretched
over aud held his hand, and laid down two
aces, showing, of course, five aces in the
pack. lie then reached back, and drew a
large navy revolver, cooked it, placed the
muzzle directly between the eyes of the
gambler still holding his hand.
Not word was spoken, but each looked
steadily into the eyes of the other Soon
the hand began quietly to move from the
money the form of the gambler to draw
back, and still the revolver followed. He
stepped into the aisle, and here the scene
became so uninteresting to me and several
others that we dropped under the seats.
The gambler slowly backed toward the
door, with the revolver following until the
door was reached, and he passed out.
The miner coolly let down the hammer
of his revolver, replaced it in his pocket,
swept the money from the board into hi:
pouch, quietly lighted his pipe, and settled
back into his seat as ifnothing had happen.
ed. The strangest part of the whole busi-
ness was that not Il word was spoken from
the time the gambler laid his three aces on
the board until the time he passed out the
car door. | took seat near the miner
afterwards, and chatted with him about his
experience in the mountains, and he seemed
pleasant and intelligent We did not refer
to his little episode with the blackleg. ...
have never witnessed such thrilling
scene, or one in which such extreme GOODNESS
was manifested as that by the miner. ..

In a court not more than five thousand
miles from the city Of Gotham, legal gem
tleman had gone through the various stages
of bar pleading, and had coaXed, and
threatened, and bulicd witnesses to his
hearts's content, when it chanced that a very
stupid fellow, z hostler, was called npon the
stand, He was, in fact, simplicity persona
fed. The counsel, it should be promised,
had made great fuss about the previous
witnesses speaking SO low that he could not
hear them.
"Now, sir" said the learned counsel, 81
hope we shall have no difficulty in making
you speak up"
He himself spoke rudcly loud.
81 hope not, sir" shouted out the witness
in such believing tones that it fairly shook
the building
"IIow dare you speak in that way, sir ?"
demanded the counsel.
Cant speak no LOUDER he shouted,
louder than before, Il, il 10 atone for speak
ing too low.
Have you been drinking this morning" ?"
asked the lawyer, who had now entirely lost
his temper at the roars of laughter which
burst from a crowded audience.
"Ies, sir" said the witness frankly.
"And what have you been drinking, sir?
Look at the jury-don't look at me, sir, in
that way"
"Cofee, sir"
"Did you have anything in your coffee,
sir?"
"Yes, sir"
u thought So" said the counsel, with a
glance at the jury, "Well sir" continued
the learned counsel, "you say you had
something in your coffee. State to the jury,
if you please, what that something was"
sugar, sir"
There was another. burst of laughter
throughout the court room.
"This man is no fool, your honor" ad-
dressing the court, "but he is something
worse. Now, witness, you must come to the
point, Had you anything else in your coffee
besides sugar ?'
"Yes, sir"
"Ies-you had, Well, We are likely to
get at the truth, after all his turning and
twisting to the contrary, Notwithstanding.
Well, sir, what else was ii you had in your
coffee ?"
"a spoons sir" shouted the witness. "Do

That was the last witness, and the last OF
him ON the stand. Here the trial was ad-
