"Mr. Tilden can hardly be expected to

northern part of Montana, prospecting
here and there, and aiming generally
to travel across the country to Montana
They followed up Prickly Pear Canon
from the Missouri river, dug little at
the mouth of all the gulches they
passed. and finally camped at the pres
ent site Of Helena, rather disguised
with their luck. and cursing the country
generally. They had prospected at sew
eral points in the gulch where the town
now stands, and though finding colors
almost everywhere, were not satisfied
with their luck They determined to
go on south to the new Bannack dig
gings, about 150 miles further up to-
wards the head of the Missouri, and
were preparing to start, when one of
the Californians who had taken fancy
to the locality, and thought from gem

rich, concluded to try at one more spot,
and taking his shovel, pick and pan, Sc

Judicial Members Of the High
Commission,

The compromise plan for counting
the Electoral votes dcsignates the As,
Justices of the Supreme Court of the
First, Third, Eighth and Ninth Cir
cults as members of the commission.
These are Justices Clifford, Strong,
Miller and Field, and as they are
thus brought very conspicuously be-
fore the country in connection with
the performance of grave political
duty, the public would like to know
something of their past histories.
Justice Nathan Clifford, the senior
in date OF appointment, and presid-
ing officer OF the commission, was
born in Rumney, New Hampshire.
From 1884 to 1889 he was Attorney
General of Maine, and from 1889 to
1843 was member of Congress from
that State, being elected as Demo
GRAFT. In 1916 he was appointed by
President Polk Attorney General of
the United States, but held the po-,
sition only one year, and in 1858 was
appointed as Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court by Buchanan.
Associate Justice William Strong
was born in Connecticut in 1908. He
was elected to Congress in 1S47, and
served two terms, after which he re-
sumed the practice of his profession.
In 1870 he was appointed Associate
Justice by President Grant.
Associate Justice Samuel f. Miller
was born at Richmond, Kentucky, in
1916. Being an earnest opponent of
slavery he found the atmosphere of
that State uncongenial, and III 1850
moved to Iowa, where he soon be-
came one Of the trusted leaders of
the Republican party. He was never.
a candidate for any office and repeat
eddy declined nominations. He de-
voted himself with such assiduity to
the law that he rose to the front rank
of the profession, and in 1862 he was
appointed to the Supreme Bench by
President Lincoln.
Associate Justice Stephen J. Field
was born in Connecticut in 1916, and
settled down to the study of law in
the office Of his brother, David Dud-
ley Field, of New York. In 1863 no
was appointed an Associate Justice
by President Lincoln. Though a Re-
publican at the time of his appoint
ment, he is known to have affiliated
with the Democracy for some time
past.
The fifth Justice, selected by the
four named above, Is Joseph p. Brad
ley, who was formerly from New
Hampshire, but resided in New Jer-
sey when President Grant, during his
first term, appointed h,m to the Su-
preme Bench. His district includes
several Of the cotton States. He has
always been known as Republican
in politics. He was the author of
the decision rendered some time ago,
declaring certain features of the Force
bill unconstitutional, somewhat from
a States rights point of view.

THE LATE SENATOR NYE.

We all know who Jim Nye "
was, and here is an incident illus
trative of Que of his we'll known de-
fects. Just previous to the resigna
ton of Secretary Chase, in the
summer of 1864, Horace Greeley
being in Washington was asked who
he thought would be good sue
cessor in that important office.
"The best man ! can think of, "
replied Greeley. lis Jim Nye."
Jim Nye? You cannot mean it.
What in the world is there to
recommend him ?"
Just this" answered the jour
nalist, i've known Nye for good
many years. He's always borrow
ing money, and I've never known
him to return a dollar. Now, if he
could be in the Treasury, he'd keep
borrowing in his old way, while
nobody could ever get anything out
of him, and the result would be
that the Treasury would be full all
the time-and the Treasurer would
be- full, too-and things would so
on swimmingly."

THE ELECTORAL COUNT.

In accordance with the provisions
of the Electoral bill, on Thursday the
Senators proceeded to the chamber
of the House of Representatives for
the purpose of counting the Electo-
raj votes. Senators Allison and In
gals had been previously appointed
teliers on the part of the Senate, and
Representatives Cook and Stone on
the part of the House. The President
of the Senate presided, and opened a
strong box from which he took the
certificates from Alabama and hand
ed them to the tellers. Mr.. Allison
read them, the result being that Til
den and Hendricks had received ten
votes. The reading Of the duplicates
was dispensed with. The presiding
officer said: care there any objections
to the certificate from the State of
Alabama9" After pause he said:
1.-THE chair hears none. The vote of
the State of Alabama will be counted
as one. The tellers will announce the
vote so there may be no mistake"
The same form was observed con-
cernil g Arkansas, six votes for Til
den and Hendricks; California, six
for Hayes and Wheeler; Colorado,
three for Hayes and Wheeler; Con-
necticut, six for Tilden and Hen
bricks; Delaware, three for Tilden
and Hendricks. When Florida was
reached, three returns were read; OBJ
jections were made to them, and the
matter was referred to the Electoral
Commission, and the count was sus-
pended until decision is reached as
to that State.
At a subsequent meeting of the
Commission, in reply to an inquiry
by the Pres dent as to who were
counsel, Field named O'Connor.
Black, Trumbull and Merrick, and
Evarts named as the Republican
counsel Stoughton, Stanley Mathews,
Shellenbarger and himself. A de-
cision in the Florida case is expected
Tuesday next.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-The tri-
partite Commission assembled in the
Supreme Court room at noon to-day

Office was administered to Justice
Clifford by Middleton, Clerk of the

Electoral bill is presiding officer OF
the Commission, then administered

AT the afternoon session the Com
mission adopted rules for their gov
eminent, drawn up by Edmonds.
The sessions will be public, but very
few outsiders will be admitted. The
first rule provides for the appoint
ment of secretary and two assist
ants, marshal and two deputies, a
stenograpber and messengers. The
second rule allows the counsel to
talk two hours on disputed sub
jects, and fifteen minutes on interlo-
cutory questions. Rule 8 allows Con-
gressmen who object, under the law,
to certificates to select two of their
number on each side to argue their
objections, the time being limited to
two hours on each side. Rule pro-
vides for hearing applications for
processes for witnesses and papers.
Rule 5 provides that the President of
the Commission shall regulate the
admission of people to the open ses-
sions. Rule 6 provides that the ses-
SONS shall be open except when the

The number of insane persons now
supported at the Woodbridge asylum
by the State of Nevada, is abou,
eighty, and the cost amounts to some
$50, 900, we believe. A committee Of
the Legislature have visited the in
stitution, but We have not yet seer
their report. For the sum mentioned
our insane should receive first-c lass
care and treatment, and the question
arises as to whether 1t would not be
best tor the State to provide an asy'
lum where the unfortunates of this
class could be kept equally we'll, and
perhaps at less aggregate cost, How
ever, it is likely too late now to per

some of the rollicking members Of
the board who were looking around
for mischief espied Luscomb. He
was politely escorted into the centet
of the bull ring where his hat was
smashed down over his eyes, and
after some rather rough kicking and
cutting a broom stick was brought,
on which he was ridden out of the
board room with significant hint
to never come again.
