The recognition of Diaz does not seem to
have been productive Of good, either to this
country or to Mexico 1t is a curious cotnci-
dence that the announcement of this recogni
ton should be the signal for a score Of those
chronic revolutions for which Mexico is so
celebrated Rebellions have broken out at
the same time in Durango and Nueva Leon /;
some of the Diaz garrisons in the border
towns are pronouncng in favor of the
banished Lerdo, and Escobedo has inaugu-
rated another expedition into Mexico. On
the other hand, the news of the recognition
seems to have been received by the Mexican
border cattle thieves as emitting them to
free forays into Texas. The result
has been score OF Inroads and the usual
robberies and murders. These were at first
charged to the Lipan Indians, but it Is
now generally admitted that it was the
Greasers themselves who stole the Texas
cattle. The recognition of Diaz would seem,
therefore to have been beneficial to
neither country. Mr.. Evarts is not very
successful diplomatist. Our only two neigh

Tho papers, some days ago, published a
curious story of the arrest in Scotland of a
number Of young boys who had banded them
selves together in n league entitled 1.-The
United Order Of Burglars" They had been
carried away by the wild, weird stories of
highwaymen they had read in the various
boys pictorals and had determined on life
of crime. They went about it in an ex-
tremely practical and busi1css like manner
A regular contract, it was found. had been
drawn up, by which all the members of the
order pledged themselves TO life of bur
glary and highway robbery; books were
-teEz>sidnd in which full accounts or the
operations of the gang were kept, each
member being credited with the money OF
goods stolen by him.
The story told by Major Jones. commander
OF the Texas Rangers, who has just been in.
vestigating the late mail robberies in North
err Texas, il almost as strange as that Of the
Order OF Burglars" Major Jones has dis

REACH THE NUISANCE.


In his charge to the Grand Jury, Judge
Cole especially called their attention to
n~uisances existing in the community.
Though pointing out a few, he did not
note the greatest one, which if not looked
after must breed a pestilence in our midst.
l refer to the big ditch running through
town, which was originally intended to re-
licve the surrounding streets Of surplus
water should we be visited with another
flood. The idea was a good one-but
many people living in the vicinity con-
ceived the brilliant thought that they
could utilize it for other purposes, and
have made ii a grand receptacle in which
to deposit their filth, and, in some in
stances, cesspools are turned into it. A
few days since, one Of our physicians, in a
communication to the SENTINEL, showed
that epidemics must surely result if the
arising from the ditch was not
abatei. He proposed a plan, which was
to construct a box of sufficient capacity to
carry the water which might come down,
and also cover the ditch its entire length.
Judge Cole clearly stated in his charge
that it was within the province of the
Grand Jury to abate nuisances, and as
there are gentlemen who are members of
that body living on the line Of the ditch,
and who we'll know the evils arising from
it, / trust they will devise some means
during their deliberations to remedy, or,
at least. in q measure abate the nuisance.

chase Some for The Richmond.
During the extraordinary meeting Of the
Richmond Company, on the 18th ult., the
Chairman, Mr.. George Hopkins, made the
following statement: Now a few words as
to the mine itself, which continues to up
hold its character and develope from day
to day in the most satisfactory and marvel
lous manner (Chaers.) Although we are
working on what is called a vein or lode,
to my mind these words convey but a very
poor impression of what it is. We have,
as q matter of fact, on the lode no less
than nine large chambers. Two of them,
when we broke into them, I believe were
actually caves, but although they were
empty they still contained around their
sides ore OF very high character and very
high grade. The other chambers have
been formed By the excavation from them
Of the ore, and they are enormous deposits,
as you may well conceive, because since
last September we have taken ont no less
than 81, 900 tons of ore, and there is at the
present time more ore in sight than when
the furnaces were started in September.
(Cheers.) Then we are spending a consid-
cradle amount Of money i'll exploration,
because it is necessary that we should keep
well ahead, and the other day, at the
earnest request Of Mr.. Richard, we author
lied him, in order to expedite the explora-
tons, to purchase air comprcssors and
drills to the extent Of $4,000. He said it
was actually necessary.

RICHMOND CONSOLIDATED.
The Extraordinary Meeting of
june 18th.

The Extraordinary Meeting of
June 18th.
An extraordinary meeting of the Rich
mond shareholders was held in London,
June 18th. The whole question of the re-
port Of the commission came up for con-
sideration. There we're two parties pres
ent striving for the ascendency, one favor
ing the commission and the other the
Board Of Directors, Of which Mr.. Probert
is a member. The action Of the meeting
was not final, but enough was developed to
how the friends of the board as the
stronger party. The following proceed
ings embrace the pith of what TRANSFERRED:
Mr.. Bayliss ultimately proposed a reso-
luton, THAT the report Of the committee
appointed at the meeting held on August
-, 1877, be received and adopted, together
with the recommendations of the commit
tee withdrawing any question of claims
against the directorsl, and that the same
be referred to the board for their guidance.
The board being authorized to deal with
all claims between Mr.. Probert and the
company in such manner as they may
deem advisable. Col. Steuart seconded
he resolution.
III tue course OF some 1uftlef ui5cus-
sion, Mr.. Pope, Q. c., proposed an amend
ment, That the report of the committee
now received be referred to the board, and
that they be requested forthwith to consid-
er the recommendations Of the committee,
and report to a future extraordinary meet
ing as to the desirability Of carrying out
such recommendations"
After a good deal Of discussion pro and
con, Mr.. Pope's amendment was put and
carried by AZ to 81, a result which was re-
ceived with loud cheers.
A pole was then demanded by Messrs. ].
Bayliss, +. G. Steuart, w. Cuthbert, A.
Pulbrook, and S. and h. Bayiiss. Scruti-
mixers having been appointed, it was de
cided that the poll should be open at the
offices of the company ON Monday and
Tuesday next from IL to Q, and that the
meeting should be adjourned for a fort
| night for the declaration of the poll and
business of the extraordinary and ordinary
meetings. The proceeding then terminated,

THE REFINERY.


There is evidently some feeling among
the Richmond shareholders against the re-
fnery at this place. just how the agita-
ton will terminate, we have no means Of
knowing. Eurekans generally, however.
will be glad to learn that it is not likely to
be shut down until Mr.. Probert shall have
been permitted to say q word in its de-
Tense. During the discussion at the late
meeting in London the chairman, Mr..
Hopkins. dealt with the question Of the re-
finery, stating that before adopting the rec
ommendation Of Mr.. Probert in this matter
in 1874, the directors had obtained the
opinion Of Mr.. Clarence King, who quite
approved Of the company erecting its own
refinery, and the opinion OF Mr.. Clarence
King was, he thought, more to be relied on
than the disparaging report Of Prof. Ray
mond The whole question was, whether
the refining could be done cheaper and
better at Eureka than by sending it else
where. There was a strong priMa fdcid
case against the refinery, but the argu-
ments we're not SO conclusively certain
against it that the works should b. shut up
without hearing what Mr.. Probert had to
say with regard to them. At that moment
the refinery was turning out from f13, 900
to f1k,00 worth Of bullion weekly. Be-
fore the refinery was started they sent their
bullion to New York to be separated and
refined, at q cost Of from $40 to $40. The
Eureka Company were paying more than
this company for refining their bullion at
Selby's works, and the Eureka Company
contemplated erecting refinery works in
the neighborhood of their property. The
loss sustained on the refinery during 1875
7G was owing to the pans cracking and
large quantities Of the lead leaking through
and choking the fues; but that state Of
things was all remedied in 1877, and if the
result had been shown for that year the
state Of the case would be different.

THE PICNIC.

A Joyous Day In the Country.
The picnic Of st. James Sunday School
at the italian ranch yesterday was a COM
plete success in every particular. The
party moved early, leaving town at about
6 A. NJ, preceded by the Eureka Brass
Band discoursing e%nlivening airs. There
we're at the grounds something like 200
people, about equally divided between little
folks and adults. All enjoyed themselves
to the fullest extent. There were all sorts
OF innocent games and dancing on the
green. Canvass and evergreen bowers had
been constructed, and these, together with
the Willows along the banks Of the stream,
afforded a pleasant retreat from the ~scorcli-
ing rays of the sur during the heat Of the
day. launching, singing and social chat
were the order OF things in shaded places.
All in all, it was u most enjoyable affair,
not only for the little folks, but for the
adults as well. Parson Crawford is enti-
tied to especial thanks for having inaugu-
rated the picnic. He desires us to return
thanks to the gentlemen who furnished
teams, and to all others who contributed
in any way to the success Of the undertake
ing. The picnicers returned to town
about Z { O'Clock in the evening.

Imyortnut DecixIon.

Judge Cole yesterday rendered an i'm
portant decision, involving as it does the
question Of what property is exempt from
execution. The history Of the case is as
follows: Some time since. Mrs. N. A.
Ashim brought suit in Justices Court
against G.. d. Hunter to recover the sum
OF $165. The papers being in the bands of
the constable, Alex. Mckay, he levied upon
. wagon which Hunter, the defendant, had
purchased, but which had not
been delivered to him. Justice Gro
mer rendered q decision holding that the
property was exempt from execution, from
which decision the constable appeals to the
District Court. Of course in the interest of
the plaintiff. who gave him an indemnify
ing bond. Judge Cole decided that the
property under attachment, though not at
the time in actual possession or use by de-
fendent Hunter. was nevertheless designed
by him to be used in procuring u livelihood
for himself and family, which came within
the meaning Of the statutes as being ex-
empt from execution, and gave judgment
against the officer for costs.

GAS PIPE PISTOLS.


On the Fourth of July the inmates Of
the State Prison at Carson, says the Vir-
ginia Chronicle, attempted to celebrate the
day by getting up an outbreak. On the
night Of the Sd the Captain Of the Guard,
Thomas Mitchell, found a rude continuance
in one Of the cells which served all the
purposes Of a pistol. 1t consisted Of a
piece Of gas-pipe, closed at one end by
being hammered and fllcl for about an
inch with molten lead. just above the
lead packing u touch-hole had been drilled,
and the barrel, which was a foot long, fast
cned to a pine handle with wires. Powder
aud balls were also found. Such a con-
trivancc could be fired at close quarters
with a match and would kill a man. The
pipe was about three-fourths Of an inch in
in diameter. A search was instantly made
in the other cells, and six Of these instru-
inelts were discovered.
