| Tomorrow the second picnic of the season,
for the school children of Storey county, will
be given at the Treadway Ranch. The pic
mic, it is true, will be for the pupils of the
public schools, but this by no means is meant
as a bar to the older ones going in full force.
There will, no doubt, be a large gathering of
both old and young at to -morrow's picnic,
and all will have a jolly time.
By yesterdays Aurora stage came our old
friend, Capt. Steve Moore, Superintendent Of
the Bechtel, at Bode. Capt Moore, who is
one of the best mining superintendent on
this coast, reports the Bodie outlook as full
of promise. He speaks in high terms of praise
of the Bodie itself, regarding it as very
promising mine. Capt Moore visits Virginia
City to-day, frem which place he will go to
California, visiting his old home Grass Valley,
then taking a run down to San Francisco.
He returns to Bodie in short time.

Twelve running horses are now in training

a trotting purse will be offered on the last day
of the term.

THE FOURTH IN CARSON.

There is not doubt that the approaching
Fourth of July celebration in Carson will be
the grandest patriotic demonstration ever
known in the State of Nevada. A committee
of Carson's citizens visited Virginia yesterday
for the purpose of inviting the people of
Storey to join us in the proposed celebration,
and they met with the greatest encourage
ment. On this subject the Virginia Chronicle
of last night says:
1t is proposed to have grand general dem
onstratlon this year in Carson City, and to ex-
tend invitations to the people OF Keno, Genoa,
Silver City, Gold Hill and Virginia City.
Governor Bradley has ordered his staff to take
part i'll the parade there ON that day, and II
the military of this city accept the invitation
the people of Carson offer them free trans
portation as well as paying their expenses
while there. Carson City is central point
for surrounding towns, and Is easy OF access
The races at that time will also otter an addl
tlonal lnducement to many persons to be
present. The proposition thus tar seems to
be favUrably entertained, partly on account
of the hard times and the difficulty OF raising
sufficient money for suitable display here.
An invitation will also be extended to the cit
liens Of Virginia generally general demon
Stration of the kind proposed has never taken
place on any previous Fourth of July.
1t seems to be pretty well settled that the
Pioneers will hold their annual picnic at
Treadway's ranch on the Fourth. So with
a general celebration, grand day of running
races, the Pioneers picnic, and an independ-
ence ball at night, the Fourth promises to be
. big day in Carson.

THE WARM SPRINGS.

-"Bawstin," by your leave-has its
big organ; Tuscarora its ''what is it, Ken
lucky its mammoth cave-San Francisco its
Kearney. Carson has its Warm Springs,
which the same we would wish to remark is
in no way connected with organs, unsexed
what -do-you -callems, mOnstrOus cavernOus
openings, or hoodlum nuisanCes like kearney.
Our Warm Springs, which everybody has
heard of who has heard of Carson, are Won
ders in bathing and medicinal way. A gen
tleman from the East, who recently spent a
few weeks in this places, said to us: "Iour
people don't seem to appreciate the excel
lencies of your Warm Springs. Why, if We
had such springs at home there would be mil
lions in EN- And so thought We. If the
springs were not at our very door, so to speak,
but were away down in some remote corner
Of California or Arizona, we'd patch our
homesteads with a mortgage to raise the
money to go and try their medicinal proper
ties. But the merits of the Carson Warm
Springs are at last beginning to be under
stood, and the present proprietors, Messrs
Butts George, are meeting with sufficient
encouragement to warrant them in making
many substantial improvements. Stone par
tition walls are being put up between the
bathing apartments, long needed improve
ment. While this work is going onthe hours of
bathing will be limited no baths being given
after IL o'clock in the morning. But this will
last only short time, as the stone walls will
be completed in few days. Other important
are in contemplation, all of
which will be fully explained by Doc. Butts,
the boss in charge of the Warm Springs.

GEN. GARF1ELD's "IDEEs.'

Gen. Garfield has sometimes been
thought to possess statesmanship; but it
is surely not the part of statesman to
turn his back on the real wants of his
country, and look only to the dreary past,
The Republican party, of which he is a
leader ought to have future before it
but Gen. Garfield talks as though it had
only past before it; and in fact the
kind of craftsmanship he has developed
in this interview is that which slowly
marches a great party into the minority.
Ten years ago the Republicans appealed
for support precisely on the grounds Mr..
Garfield now puts forward they have
stood there with the noble frmness of a
mule ever since; whenever the country
asked them abouta policy, they only an
swered "the solid South" And in those
ten years they have on this platform lost
the House, lost the Senate, and secured
the Presidency only by the use of the
army, and the perjury of creatures like

Garfield; try it again. He reminds us
of the crazy fellow who bet he could
Jump across the Ohio river. He jumped
once, twice, three times, and went souse
into the mud every time. But "only
wait" he cried, "give me another chance
and I'll do it,"
Gen. Garfield thinks, or says he thinks
"the South will fertilize their impover.
ished country with streams of appropri-
ations from the National Treasury" 1t
is a fact that Southern Republicans are
more eager and united for subsidies and
internal improvements than Southern
Democrats. They would have succeeded
in their demands at the last session if it
bad not been for the opposition Of north
ern Democrats. The Republicans in
creased the appropriations, and notably
those in the river and harbor bill. Is it
craftsmanship so soon after the adjourn
ment to forget all this2-M Y. Herald.

being shot through, and that he had es-
capped by reason Of the darkness. After
leaving the parish seat he had gone to
New Orleans. Some army officers, he
said, had doubted the truth Of the story
about the attack. Anderson also spoke
of having made protest on which the
vote of East Feliciana was thrown out
and of having put in circulation q story
that during the period of registration he
had visited New Orleans and informed
the Republican committee, including
Gov. Kellogg, that his parish was Demo
cratic, the colored vote being largely on
that side, and that he had been advised
by Gov. Kellogg and the Republican
committee either not to return to the
parish at all or to come away and make
such protest as would throw the par
ish out Anderson said be had put this
story in circulation in the hope that the
Democratic committee would make him
an offer of money; when by the offer OF
money he had them good and fast, he
would expose the authors and blow them
sky-high. The witness did not hear AN
derson question the truth of the protest
nor complain that there had been an in
terpolation.
Chairman Potter asked the witness
whether it did not surprise him that An
derson, whom he had known as a news
paper correspondent in Washington,
should so soon have become Supervi-
sor of Elections in louisiana The wit.
ness replied that he had known Ander.
son as correspondent also of a New Or.
leans paper, and did not know but that
he was citizen of Louisiana. Witnesses
recollection was that Anderson told him
The vote of the parish was thrown out on
his protest.
Chairman Potter denied that the COM
mittee have agreed TO make prelimin-
ary report before the fall elections. He
also denies that he has made any state
ment whatever as to the case expected
to be proved or the effect of the action
of the Electoral Commission.
There was an informal meeting of the
committee tonight, John Sherman be-
ing present, for consultation as to the
convenience of his witnesses. General
Harry White of Pennsylvania and Frank
Morey Of Louisiana are also to be sum-
moned at his request.

AT ATLANTIC CITY.

Congressman DaHfOrd's Version Of Converse
tlOn with James E. Anderson.
Atlantic City, July 23.-The Potter
Committee met this afternoon at five
o'clock, Messrs. Potter, Butler, HiscoCk,
and Springer being in attendance, in one
of the parlors of the United States Ho-
tel. There were present ex-senator
Trumbull, Representatives Kelley and
Danford, Messrs. sbellabarger and ]. R.
Sypher, Of counsel, with many guests of
the hotel, of both sexes, and reporters.
Representative Danford was called by
Representative Hiscock, who conducted
the direct examination. He testified
that he was member of the Morrison
committee that visited New Orleans,
and that he there met James e. Ander-
son, whom he had first known as a
Washington correspondent of neWspa-
per in his district. He had q full con-
versation with Anderson about East Fe-
lieiana. 1t was voluntary on the part of
Anderson, who spoke generally Of the
condition of the parish, and of its being
the worst bulldozed parish Of the State.
Anderson said that while travelling from
some point to the parish that on q dark
night he had been fred at, his clothes
