Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1877-02-03

The counting of the electoral vote
will continue under the rule that no
person besides those who have now
the privilege of the floor OF the
House of Representatives shall be
admitted to that portion of the Cap
ital set apart for the use of the House
and its officers, except upon tickets
issued by the President of the Senate
and Speaker of the House, and tickets
issued under this resolution are dis
tributed under the direction OF the
Committee on Rules of the House.
A labor strike of considerable i'm
portance is now in progress IN New
York. On Thursday six hundred
beavers of grain preceded by a band
of music marched to the docks at
Brooklyn for the purpose OF driving
off the men who were at work. The
police interfered and the crowd was
dispersed. The trouble is occasioned
by reduction of wages.
One of the keepers of the Auburn
prison while working squad Of con-
victs was attacked yesterday by one
of them and Immediately killed. The
convict was insane.
There is complaint made in
Washington relative to the way j"
which the members of the Louisiana
Board are treated. It is said that
Thompson allows every privilege to
Democrats in their visits to the
rooms of the Board. but Republicans
are denied any favor whatever. The
matter will be inquired into.
The investigation of the Louisiana
election still continues. A delegation
of clerks from New Orleans are en-
route to Washington, and their testi-
mony will be used for the rebuttal OF
that of Littlefeld. The testimony
relative to the brides offered to
Wells is believed by some and con-
tradicted by others. The New York
Times says that if Maddox was really
authorized by Hewitt or any other
Democratic authority to offer Wells
and his colleagues one million
dollars to count the vote OF the
State for Tilden, these gentlemen
must be admitted to have displayed
truly Spartan virtue in rejecting such
an offer, and that they did reject it,
if it was ever made, is proved 10y the
results of the canvass. It is difficult
to see what the Democrats are to gain
by making such revelation OF baffied
and rather shallow rascality.
The Electoral Commission are
actively engaged in determining the
points relative to the Florida returns,
and an acceptable conclusion IS ex-
expected. Justice Bradley will act
in the right in the case, although the
Democrats seem to question his
honesty. They were in favor OF the
Commission under the supposition
that Davis would be the fifth Justice,
but since their plans miscarried in
this respect they are not sanguine as
to the result.
The European war cloud seems to
be no darker than before. 1t is re-
ported that the present tactics OF
Russia are to keep up the present
agitation, which is neither peace nor
war. The Russians are not so strong
in money and ammunition as they
would wish, they have no desire to
90 to war with Turkey at once, but
they wish an indefinite prolongation
of the affair. They will concentrate
their troops on the borders, and this
will cause such distress in Turkey,
that the people will demand peace at
any price. Then if not, the Turks
will be compelled to advance, and
the Russians will have the advantage
of fighting in their own country.
