The Sutro Independent hears reports
from various States that men offered
their votes on election day to the high
est bidder. This news must have
come privately to the Independent, a.
no one else has heard about it.-Lyon
County Times.
Nevertheless that same thing was
done openly and shamelessly in the
streets of Eureka on election day, and
what is worse, there is no law in the
State by which the miserable scoun.
drels can be punished. The statues
make it a felony to offer to purchase a
vote, but make no provision for the
prosecution of persons Offering to sell.
We hope for the credit of our State
that the next Legislature will remedy
the omission, which was doubtless an
oversight upon the part OF tho i'egis-
turs which passed the law.

DEMOCRATS predict that Hayes in
auguration will be the sigral for trouble
all over the country. This sounds like
a threat.-CdrSon Tribune.
There is not in the country a Demo-
crat, deserving that mama, who desires
any trouble in the event of the election
of MIR. Hayes. 1t is the general wish
among the best members of both par
ties that the candidate elected in ac-
cordance with the constitution and
laws of the country should take his
place peacefully at the head of the
Government, and in such a case the
efforts of the malcontents of either o.
the political parties would amount to
nothing as against the powerful array
Of public sentiment which would COM
bine itself for the preservation Of peace
and the enforcement of the laws. Such
assertions as that above quoted from
the Tribune are either extremely silly
or are based upon the presumption
that the Inauguration of Mr.. Hayes is
. foregore conclusion, whether he is
elected or not. III the latter contin-
gency the prediction alluded to is more
of the character of a warning than a
threat.

ate, have received a decisive letter
from the Secretary of State at Sacra.
mento. The points of the letter, those
which decide the bet are these. They
may possess some interest to the pub
lie, now hat tie question of a mans
holding two offices at once has received
some prominence: The journal of the
Senate, at its Eleventh session, in 1860,
shows that on the 18th of January o.
that year Mr.. Latham was elected q
United states Senator in due form in
Joint session. On the 18th of the same
month the Senate received Mr.. Lath-
ANS resignation as Governor, dated
the llth, to take effect Oh the l4th. On
the 18Th he as Governor sent a message
to the Senate approving of certain bills,
etc. On the l4th Mr.. Latham's resig-
nation was accepted, and Mr.. Downey
was inaugurated as Governor.
This morning about 5 O'Clock, says
the Gold Hill Ncms of the Goth. n seri.
Gus cutting affray occurred in the In
ternational saloon, G. steet, Virginia.
Two men, named FORESTER and Cum
n,ings, who had been drinking all
night and who were both drunk, fell
to quarreling. Blows were exchanged,
and in the scuffle which followed For
roster drew "A knife and stabbed Cam
mings on the inside of the right thigh,
barely missing the fpmoral artery. He
also gaShed the man on the right cheek
bone. Outsiders interfeied and For
roster made his escape. Although
the wound in his thigh was deep and
two inches long and bleeding %protu>ely,
Cummings was too drunk to realize
his condition and went wandering
about from one saloon to another,
drinking, for nearly a hour. Cum
ming's condition is rather serious.
The report has reached the Elke In
dependent indirectly, that another rich
strike has been made at Tusrarora.
Justice Meacham, n of the owners
of the renowned Hornet mine, is said
to have fouLd the richest kind of gold
d~iggings, near what is known as the
'!Chinese garden" about half Il mile
west OF Tuscarora. According to our
informant, the gold is free, and is dug
apparently III of the p%orphyry bed
rock. The Chinese have been engaged
in surface mining in the vicinity for
several years past, and there is proba-
bly, one or more rich gold leads onie
where not far off; possibly Meacham
has been lucky enough to discover one
of them.
There are, says the Gold Hill NewS,
a great many unemployed men in Nir-
ginia Just now. Hundreds of strong
and willing fellows, ready to do any
honest work are unable to get it. AS
the winter comes Oh much suffering is
sure to follow. On Saturday night
officer Daniels found tour young mel
trying TO sleep on a freight car and
took them to the City Jail. They were
almost frozen and ~ravenously hungry.
When the doors were opened to them
yesterday morning they asked to be
permitted to stay until to-day as they
could not expect to find work on Sun
day. This is but case out of many.

WHY LINCoLN's TOMB WAS OUT
RAGED.-The Chicago Times claims
that the recent outrage on Lincoln's
tomb vas prompted by Ben. Boyd,
the notorious counterfeiter. who was
captured by Elmer Washburne some
time ago, and IA gang OF counteIfeiters,
such as seldom obtain a foothold in
the State, broken up. Boyd, through
the agency OF his friends and his own
wealth, has for some time past been
trying to liberate himself from prison.
The shrewd scheme was to carry off
the remains of Mr.. Lincoln, secrete
them and keep them until President
Grant should be compelled to give
Boyd his freedom, conditioned on the
restoration of the remains to their tor
mer resting place.

STILL HANGS FIRE.

The result Of the presidential cleo.
ton has rot yet been officially pro-
claimed. The Returning Boards in
Louisiana and Florida still hang fire
and no mortal man on this side of the
continent a predict what either will
do. It Is not denied by the Republic
cans themselves that Mr.. Tilden car
ried the former by 4 majority of more
than 5000. 1t is almost equally GER
tain that Florida has also given a Dem
ocratic majority. Our dispatches this
morning throw but little additional
light on the situation. There is an in
timation that the Democrats OF Wash.
ington City have resolved on a grand
demonstration on the Goth inst. This
would seem TO indicate that they are
in possession Of information which in.
sures the success of Mr.. Tilden be
yond every reasonable doubt. We no.
tice also that our coast exchanges
which arrived yesterday all con-
tain the same dispatch we published
the other day from South Carolina,
giving small majorities to two of the
Democratic Electors. 1t may be due
to this condition of affairs that the
Washington Democracy are preparing
to celebrate. Certain it is that nothing
official is yet known regarding the re.
suit in either Of the other doubtful
States. The Supreme Court Of Flor
ida, whose authority was invoked for
the purpose, has directed the Return
ing Board Of that State to proceed with
the count without further delay. This
action will give us the official vote of
that Commonwealth very soon, prob
ably to .day. In the meantime the
Louisiana Board is Flooding along
slowly with the undisruted districts OF
that State. Both white and colored
witnesses In great numbers from the
parishes where it has been alleged that
intimidation was resorted to, are col
lecting in New Orleans for the pur-
pose of proving that the election was
in all respects as free and as fair as any
everh held in that or any other State of
the Union. If the situation Is cor.
rectly reported, it would appear to be a
foregone conclusion that the Demo
Gratis will make out such a case as
will preclude every possibility of a
reduction OF their majority in that
State. And SO, taking a calm and dis
passionate view OF the entire field, we
are more than ever convinced that Mr..
Tilden is to be the President from and
after the 4th of March next.

A GOOD MAN GONE.

Hon J. X. Skater breathed his last in
this town at II O'Clock A. NJ. yesterday.
He was "A pioneer of the coast, having
inmigratcd hither II years ago. He
was a lawyer OF prominence and abil-
ity and at an early day in California he
was called upon by his fellow-citizens
to assume the duties and responsible
ties of important official station. He
was continued in positions of great
public trust for more than half of his
years on this coast and always sustained
an unsullied reputation for personal
and official integrity. No word Of re-
proach was ever uttered against this
most upright and incorrupuble public
servant. AS Judge of the District
Court of San Joaquin county for more
than a decade, and as the Delegate in
Congress from Idaho Territory for two
years, he enjoyed alike in either ca
pacity the fullest confidence of his
fellow-men. He was, in short, what
has been termed the noblest work OF
the Almighty, an honest man.
A man of much literary ability and
fine legal attainments, he was yet uE-
ostentatious and stronly averse to dis
play Of any character whatever. AS "a
devoted friend, kind husband and at.
fectionate father, he gave constant evi
dence Of the possession of all the
higher and nobler traits OF tho human
heart. Although his residence
in our midst had been of COM
parative short duration, he had
succeeded in drawing around him
a large circle of warm friends, and his
death will be mourned by the entire
community. We know that in cases
like this words are powerless 10 Is
suage grief, yet we must take occasion
to extend to the stricken ones the as
surance that they have the sympathy
and coincidence of all who knew him,
who is now no more, in their sad
affliction aud bereavement.
