the balance is divided among the or

1.-THE Moose mine has attracted 9
good deal II. attention on the Mining
Exchange, and the announcement, in
March, of regular quarterly .divi.
dend Of 2H per cent. naturally leads
the initiated to the conclusion that
this company must be doing we'll and
making money. Nevertheless, we
hear from the seat Of war that the
company's checks have recently been
thrown GU, of bank, and its miners
and other creditors are unpaid; that
it recently borrowed money from the
proprietor of large reduction works
in order to pay ain part" some Of its
employees, who threatened to make a
fuss; and it is naturally concluded
that with such condition of affairs,
the dividend recently declared was
not fairly earned, and that the stock,
if not worthless, is certainly an un-
safe investment.

necessary to add that this stock, un

list, though it might readily be done.

Union claimants, scattered about In
nearly all the Sonihern Htetes.
But the spirit and temper Of the
.Democraiic House Of Representative
on this whole question is best Illus
trated by tho following act. which
passed chat body June II, 1878:
An act providing for the judicial
ascertainment OF elaine against the
United States.
BE 1t enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the
United States OF America In Congress
assembled, That any person who may
have claim agsinst tho q Unfted States
of winch the Court of Claims would
not now have jarisdiction. bat found-
ed upon justice and equity, and not
barred by any statnte of Limitations
provided by any law Of the United
States, setting out the grounds of
claim and the relief desired By him;
aud the Attorney General. Of the
United States shalt appear and plead
thereto as provided In other oases.
sSHcrIoN 2. Any issue pf fact joined
upon such. = bill may be tried by the
Court As now provided for easss of
which it has jurisdictiou.
SEC. 3. The Court shall find the
facts appearing from the testimony
before them in each case, and shall re-
port their findings to Congress, with
their opinion as to the determination
which should be made Of such claim.
.SEc. 4. Congress shall not consid-
er, nor allow, nor authorize the pay
mcnt of any private claim NOT paya-
BILE under existing laws until the same
has been heald aud reported to Con-
gress by said Court of Claims as here
in provided.
SEC. 5. All claims against the
United States provided for by this act
not prosecuted within six years from
the passage Of this act, or Of the time
when the same claimants arc under
legal disability to sue, the action must
be brought within six years, er with
in three years after snch disability
shall cease. ~ al - -a8
The purpose of this act is, as it de-
clares, the judicial ascertainment Of
Claims against the United States, and
II appIies to all claims of every de-
scrlpiion not barred by . statute Of
Limitation, or prohibited by the Con-
stitution. Ii It should become law
by the action of the Senate, it will
virtually take the whole subject of
claims out OF Congress and placa them
in the Courts for inyestigation and
decision. If the Democratic majority
in the House had intended to plunder
the Treasury under the guise Of, war
claims, or any other kind Of claims, NO
measure of this kind would have been
permitted 10 pass that.body. On the
contrary, they would have retained
entire control Of the whole matter for
future operations. se %

LONDON, June 7th.-The follow

The editor and manager Of news
paper at Glauchau has been arrest
ed for the publication of Socialistio
writings. A committee has been
formed in Berlin to purchase the
house at No. Is, Unter den Linden,
and to convert it into place of re-
ligious worship. Numerous man
ufacturers have resolved to dis.
charge all their w0rkmen attend
ing Socialistic meetings. Between
20 and 30 persons have been ar
rested in various towns for express.
ing regret at the failure of Nobel
ing to kill the Emperor. At Bruns-
wick and Earmen men have been
arrested charged with telling be.
forehand of Nobeling's attempt.
At Hamburg the police closed a
Socialistic meeting. At Wilhems-
haven man was arrested charged
with predicting day beforehand
that the Koenig Wilhelm would
sink the Grosser Kurfurst. Such,
says this 1inaes's Berlin correspond
ent, are the incredible statements
now going the rounds of the Ger
man press. Some of the papers
have announced that Nobeling's
condition Is improved and that
there is some prospect of his recov-

WE are pleased to note that the
candidacy of Col. J. J. Ayers is
eliciting the most fayorable COM
ment in the San Francisco press.
His Democratic friends are giving
him warm greeting in San Fran
cisco, and the newspapers are
hearty in recognition of his claims.
The fact that Col. Ayers has edited
an independent journal has in no
whit detracted from his personal
politics, which are those of q JEFF
fersonian Democrat. AS he has
always belonged to the class who
have been able to see merit in an
adversary, Col. Ayers will profit
largely by this fact. We think we
can promise him the vote of the
solid Democracy of Los Angeles
county, and no man who calls him.
self Democrat could command a
larger Republican or Working
mems vote than Col. Ayers. There
is general conviction, irrespective
OF politics, that he is the right
man in the right place. In the con-
dition of politics in which we now
find ourselves in California it is
useless to assume that any candi-
date will command the entire vote
Of all parties. But we think Col.
Ayers will come nearer doing this
than any man on the list of the
San Jose Convention.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-06-08

In view Of the fact that the HER.
AID has been a consistent and un-
compromising advocate for regu.
lar party nominations for the Con-
stitutional Convention, we think
that it requires rare degree of
impudence to assume that we
should place fusion ticket, as
ticket, at the head Of our columns.
Regarding 1t as very probable, from
the culpable negligence of the
Democratic State Central Commit
tee, in not taking energetic meas
ures for a campaign in the State at
large, that the nominees of the San
Jose Convention might be elected
from the Fourth District, we
thought it entirely right that the
Democratic County Central Com.
mittee of Los Angeles county
should have some Democratic rep
resentatives there, to see that some
fitting men were upon ii. We
thought thus with the view of sup
porting suca as commended them
selves to US, in the absence of regu-
lar Democratic nominations. Find
ing the situation as il is, against
our repeated protests, we shall con-
fine our efforts mainly to the advo-
cacy of our own unrivaled Demo-
cratic county ticket; and, from
standpoint of newspaper comfy,
we shall, in addition, throw In an
occasional good word for our edi-
torial confrere, Col. Ayers. In ad-
dition to the Los Angeles county
ticket, we have found one regular
Democratic ticket for delegates at
large in the State of California, and
we have Aoisted that also to the
mast head. Our position is not
only consistent; but, as we believe
in the indestructible vitality of the
Democracy, in its approaching
speedy triumph and in the deep
disgust of the masses Of the De-
mocracy at condition of things
which has left them without re-
course, we think it is eminently
judiciOus as we'll.

Gould & Curry, Hale & Norcross,
Ophir, Mexican, Consolidated Vir-

about as follows: r. P. Wills, store

$500 on the building. The Others
were not insured. The fire was in-
cendiary. The first building was
fired in two places. During the
progress of the fire an unsuccessful
attempt was made to fire the store

sued. Several shots were fired at
him but he escaped. Several

night prior to the fire. Suspicious
