No one need go outside the col

of the past five years to convict
Thurman of grosscr inconsistencies
than ever Ben Butler was guilty of;
and AS u trimmer and straddIer the
record shows he can give Hendricks
generous odds, then beat him out of
sight at his own speciality. The par

verdict that he is suffering from the
White House itch; and the summer
saults and hand.springs he turned in
his late Ohio speech, are explicable
on no other theory than loss of men

an ailment that has shipwrecked the

bic that the Democracy will pay any
price demanded to secure an alliance
with the factions outside of the two
old parties, including Greenbackers
proper, the socialists and the COM

set himself to the task of suuaring
his views that they may clash with
none of those popular with possible
allies. 1t is estimated that Secreta-
~ Sherman Will make one or more
speeches during the campaign in
Ohio in reply to Thurman. But his
experience in politics long ago con

OBJECTS TO TAXES.
Olympia "Transcript."l

Olympia "Transcript."l
One Of the best features of the new
constitution. and which the people
will appreciate to its fullest extent,
is that of taxing the property of cor
poratians and associations, of what
ever name, the same as other prop.
erty. This will particularly effect
such corporations as the North Pa
ci6c Railroad, will force them to pay
their legitimate taxes, and not, as
now, give them the opportunity to
avoid the payment of the just dues
for the support of the state and its
government. Followers of this de-
fant railroad company denounce
these clauses of the constitution as
communistic, simply because its
provisions propose to put the wealth
of its company on the same footing
as individual property. If it is trea.
son, let them make the most of it.
The people of the territory are in
favor of all such clauses, that rich
corporations shall pay taxes equal
with the poorer classes.
There is another point, however,
which it is possible the Northern Pa.
ciic are considering, and which they
dare not openly broach. Should
they get an extension of time, on
which all their efforts are now con-
centrated, and the territory comes in
as state before the roads are built
and the lands earned, will they not
lose one half of their grant on the
balance, by reason Of its becoming a
state? 1t is believed that they will
do so, as the law giving them the
subsidy only gives them one half the
amount in state. Ali friends of
the new state will desire that one
half, or about three millions Of acres
may revert to the government, on
which settlers may not be obliged to
pay double price-one for the land,
and the other for building the road.
1t is not reasonable then that this
company should oppose the coming
in Of the state of Washington? And
for the same reason should not every
settler in the territory vote for the
adoption of the constitution

stood to hc It's editor although i
seems to be equally as widely sup
posed that the paper is simply an
other organ for the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company, having for its ob
jcct the advancing Of the interest,
of its owners and hackers; that the
company, becoming disgusted with
the weak aid afforded it by its pre-
sumed organ already established al
that point, determined upon starting
another. If this be true, its pro-
prietors would find their interests
more cfectually advanced by boldly
announcing their names at once as
the head and front, foundation and
backing, of the institution, because
it would thus be relieved of the
odium and disadvantage of being
looked upon as a secret or under
handed agent. On the other hand,
if Mr.. Picket has started a paper
upon legitimate, business fonnda
ton, if he has begun work in good
faith, believing that he sees at the
point of location an opening for an
honorably conducted journal, how
much more in keeping with his SEN
timents and justice to the public to
insert his name as publisher, editor,
or proprietor, or all combined, of the
publication, and frankly avow his
purpose. Assuming him to be act,
ing in good faith toward the public,
to pursue the course in which he has
started looks by far too much like n
cunning dodge to evade responsible e.
ity in case OF a libel suit; or at best
it cannot be said to be iE harmony
with the candor and frankness that
should be manifested by public
print of any kind toward its readers.
Mr.. Pickett is a man Of mature cx.
perience and ability in journalism,

and also to allowing the Legitimate

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, d. G., Aug. II, 1878,
Political circles just now seem
most agitated over the matter of the
can paign assessments levied against
the White House occupant, whether
or no he has paid them or intends to,
if he has not already responded. He
may regard it as impertinent and as
nobody's business save that of the
parties directly concerned; but great
interest is manifest in the matter all
the same. Whether he pays or re.
fuses to pay he seems destined to
run the gauntlet of CALLING FIRE, for
in either event the somewhat contra
dictory and inconsistent views he is
reported to have expressed at differ.
ent times as to the duty of Federal
officials, appear susceptible of being
used to intensity his distress, which.
ever horn of dilemma he elects. The
matter seems calculated to give him
trouble in another way. Some of the
incumbents Of the fattest places, not
content with quiet refusal to con,
tribute, take occasion to lecture the
Republican National Committee fol
their assurance in asking contribu
tions under a reform Civil Service
and the tone Of their response is not
infrequently insolent and offensive

WEDDED.-Of the marriage of one of our
former citizens and highly respected gen.
tleman, the Enterprise of yesterday says
1.-The marriage, yesterday, of Dean B. Ly-
man to Miss Annie S. Dunlap was one of the
Pleasantest weddings ever witnessed in Vir-
ginia. 1t took place at the residence of
George A. King-Mr. Lyman's brother law
about P. NJ. in the presence of some sixty
ladies and gentlemen. Mr.. Lyman is Super
intendent of the Pacific Mills, and one of the
best men in the world. His bride is univer-
sally esteemed as most accomplished and
estimable lady, a real womanly woman. The
elegant mansion was darkened and the gas
turned on, and the profusion of flowers was
so great that the house was like garden with
a roof over it. J. M. Taylor, as first grooms-
man, with Miss BatterInan, daughter of Gen
eral Batterman, as first bridesmaid, and
Squire Mooney, as second groomsman, with
Miss Wescoatt, neice of Hon. j. F. Lewis,
as second bridesmaid, stood by Mr., Lyman
and Miss Dunlap through the difficulty.
Bishop Whitaker performed the marriage
ceremony. After the congratulations mag
nihcent supper was served, and the happy
pair, amid warm wishes for happy future
from multitude of friends, took the evening
train for California. For the benefit of our
lady readers we add that the bride wore
princess dress en- trai, of plain white satin,
with tunic of white satin and gros grain in
raised stripes, the whole deliberately trimmed
With illusion and orange flowers; the train
scalloped and bound with heavy white silk
cord with plating of white lace set under
meath; hair dressed high in puffs a la refine;
vail of plain white illusion falling to the bot
tom of train. The bridesmaids were in prin-
cess dresses of white silk en- train, draped
with white lace. Neither bride nor groom
wore either jewels or other ornaments except
flowers"
PEEsoNAL.--Mr. G. N. Keeny, Superintend-
ent of the Star mine at Cherry Creek, White.
Pine County, arrived here yesterday morning.
He and Mr.. Robarts, from the same locality,
went to San Francisco in company last even

EMPIRE ITEMS.

They say the Carson River never was so
low as now-never within the memory of the
Oldest and whitest inhabitant. This is due
to several causes. The extraordinarily hot
summer, melting the SHOWS of the mountains
of course has diminished the supply, and the
Carson Valley ranchmen consume the bulk of
the flow in their irrigating bitches. What
seeps by Empire would hardly run long tom.
Still the river-drivers are hard at it taking
out the wood Jones says that the jam, or
stern end of the drive, is at or near Charley
Schultzs. The taking out of the wood is
necessarily slow, the river being on such a
very short allowance of water There is no
thing that we are authorized to allude to in
familiar terms concerning the Port, beyond
the fact that Jones, as we have intimated, was
not there yesterday, being here, instead, also

There is no excuse for intruding upon man
and staring at him as if he were wild beast,
as a too numerous party of curious and i'm
polite folk did intrude and stare at Mr. Beecher
yesterday. He chose to remain in the car
and be quiet. These boorish fellows forced
themselves into the car and gawked at him
in the most clowish manner imaginable. We
are ashamed of such display is Carson.
The remains of the late Frank E. Young
who was drowned in the Carson last June

two brothers of the deceased who were pres
ent were members of the Masonic brotherhood.
A detachment of the G. A R. were present;
and the Master of the Lodge invited the de-
livery of any remarks that might be offered.
The remains were followed to the grave by
quite numerous attendance of NlasOns and

A SPEEDY WEDDING.

The Chronicle of last evening contains &
very fuH account of the domestic troubles o.
the Strouse family, husband and wife, and the
iRfdelity of the latter, the divorce of the
twain, and the divorced wife's marriage to he1
seducer, Prof James, Col. Fairs private teach
er. The divorce was taken on Wednesday.
Yesterday the wedding took place between
Mr.. james and the ruined woman. The
Chronicle relates the sad story as follows
"On the night of the 28th of July last Mr..
Strouse absented himself purposely from the
the house, on the pretext of going to San
Francisco His wife Immediately took buggy
and went down to Bowers Mansion. James
came to the Mansion from Lake Bigler. The
two were together in room there nearly all
the next day, and here the detective got all
the evidence he wanted of the wifes in6del-
ity. The next night she returned to her home.
She found private detective, Ben Lackey, in
charge of the house, and her husband in the
parlor. As she gained the threshold she saw
that something was wrong, and her step falt
cred. She took seat by her husbands side.
Lille, have | not been a good husband
to you p he said.
"You have, she replied.
Z" have proof of your adultery with j. c.
James
The woman fell at his knees imploringly.
There is the door cross it for the last
time"
The woman staggered across the threshold
and tainted. The injured husband brought
her in, revived her, and again said: eco. l
don't want to be hard, but you must go.
The crushed woman walked out of the door
hardly able to stand, and then recovering her
nerve began to hurl flower pots through the
windows. As pot after pot fell at the hus-
band $ feet he never moved a muscle, but with
Trojan nerve contemplated the scene calmly,
and ordered carriage to take the SHINING
woman away. She took rooms soon after at
the Molinelli House, and there remained until
yesterday.
At o'clock in the afternoon mutual friend
of the dissolving family was sent to tell her of
the decision in the divorce proceedings. "Do |
| get Bessiel" she asked NO" was the re
ply. The woman fell fainting to the floor She |
had signed an agreement to leave the city as
soonas she had obtained the s., 900 allowance,
and accordingly, as stated above, started for
Reno to marry her seducer. Near the Five
Mile House the axle of the carriage broke, and
there was delay of several hours on the road.
Word was sent back to Mooney, the owner of
the carriage, for another team, during which
time the party sat huddled near sheep shed
in the driving rain. They built fire and sat
discussing recent social events, and making
the best they could of the situation. At IL
O'Clock the other team arrived and the party
proceeded to Rene.
