Many men who pride them

At :ho town meeting On Tues

For roads, 100000 support of

the town, 100000; for wells,
$4,000; total s5,90o.Oo This

The Call thinks it is something of a
feproacher to the American Congress-
that one of Its sitting mem hers should
be convicted Of a felony, and that body
no doubt feels 1t with due s~ensibility.
The case is worse from the fact that
the culprit Is = colored man, whose
crime will, although 1t should not.
prejudice his race. AS politics are now
constituted in the South, the colored
man will stand . poor show to partic
ipate in Congressional or other high
public honors for years to come. Mr..
Smails. the subject of this article. and
. man Of ability far above the average
freedman, will be held up to discourage
any attempt Of the colored man in that
direction. SmaIls a not attribute his
downfall to caste prejudice. for a ma
jority Of the jury that convicted him

quarters that he will be entitled to

A EDITOR.

Mr.. Harris, editor OF the Coso Min
ing Ners, came pretty near shuffiing
of his mortal coil last week. BY mis-
take. he took an overdose Of medicine.
and but for the timely arrival of a ply
.ician. who pumped him out, he would
now be Ia his cold. cold grave. He re-
lstes the incident in the following
cheerful manner:
Last Sunday evening, feeling quite
unwell from neuralgia and nervous
prostration. we retired TO bed earlier
than usual for a good nights rest.
Sleep. however, was out of the ques
ton, and we called uyon our better
half tn give US a dose of getsemium-s
remedy we had been using tor neural.
gia for the past foul years. We took
our usual doSe Of twenty drops, but it
did not have the desired effect. and we
rolled and tumbled around until about
two or three o'clock MONDAY morning.
We were determined to have some
sleep in some way, and so got cut in
the cold % help ourself to another
dose. In our aud panied
condition, we did not stop long to
hunt around for spoons, but
poured It directly from the bottle
into a wine glass, guessing at twenty
drops more. As IL afterwards proved
we became satisfied we were a libsral
guesser. Mrs. III. soon discovered that
a physicians presence was demanded,
and at once sent for DIR. +. p. Howard.
who promptly responded al 5 O'Clock
in the morning. On arriving he
naturally inquired what the matter
was. and we said "gelsemium." Well,
we'll not tell all that he said To us.
bur they we're words that will never
be forgotten. The Doctor is not a man
10 waste language, but expresses a
great deal in y few words. No time
was TO be lost, for, unless the proper
medical course vas pursued, our goose
would be cooked within the next
twenty minutes. To make a long
story short, the Doctor pursued that
purse exactly.
His treatment was such upon us
that the blis>ful scenes tx perienced by
all good Christians. when about TO 60

turns" aud which we, in M mind.
or soul. or Whatever it may be- called,
were ex experiencing, was soon changed
from the pure. bright and cooling
water OF that ''rolling river" dividing
the terre st-ial from the celestial bourne.
and we were forcibly reminded by the
pains to our earthly frame, produced
by mustard p~lssters. hot bottles of
water. and internal lotions hotter than
any whisky we had ever drank, that
our attention must be diverted from
those happy scenes to those of this
world, more particularly tn those in

that it was a burning shame" etc. He

OEHArUR Is AND THE AID
mlNISTRATION.

News comes from Washington tina,
Senator Jones. OF Nevada. has declared
war upon the Administration. In the
Republican Senatorial caucusthe other
day. be Is reported to have denounced
the White House and everybody con
uected with IL in unmeasured terms
Among other things he declared that
Southern Democratic bummers, wear
Ing slouched hats, and carrying their
~ under their arms to save both
hands for tree lunches, were admitted
to the Presidential presence. while Re-
publican Senators were kept waiting
in the ante room. Whether our own
Senator had been thus snubbed, bedid
not state. but from the directness of his
charge we infer that he had personally
experienced something akin to the
slight Of which be complained. He
must at least have been very angry at
some member, or 1T all Of the mem bers.
ofthe Executive household. Weexpect-
cd Senator Jones to take precisely this
stand, and so intimated some months
since. He Is a great personal friend
and admirer OF Senator Conkling, and
we felt sure from the start that he vas
in close sympathy with the latter in
his onslaught upon the Administra-
ton. Conkling was Jones' first choice
for the Presidency I'm the Cincinnati
Convention, and be has since pulled
with his favorite on all important
issues. In order to beat Blaine for the
nomination, Conkling's forces vent
over to Hayes, thus, virtually, with
the aid of the seven to eight Commits
sion subsequently, elevatiug him to
his present exalted position at the
head of the nation. 1t was in the
power of Conkling's friends TO have
bestowed the nomination on the Maine
statesman. But the rallying cry was
"anything to beat Blaine" and SO the
honor fell to Mr.. Hayes, a man not
especially prominent for the
position. Since succeeding to
the Presidency Mr.. Hayes has
been chiefly conspicuous for ,ignor-
ing the Conkling faction, withou,
whose assistance he would never have
reached the Presidential chair. Black
ingraiitude is the worst of all sins, po-
litical or otherwis and no fair mind
ed man who keeps in view the history
Of the past year, can much blame
these followers Of the great New
York Senator for kicking out OF the
traces. If Senator Jones states the
case fairly he has not only ignored
them politically, but allows no oppor-
tunity to pass to treat them with ex
treme discourtesy in his social and
official intercourse with them. The
SLOUGH hat gentry have the untram-
meled use of the Executive ear, while
Conkling Senators are made to occupy
back seats. It is a serious affair, we
must admit, but still we car not Ok
actly understand how it affects the
right or wrong Of the Presidents
Southern policy.
