".1NFLuENcE. IN CONGRESS.

In the discussion in the house of repre-.
sentatives upon the passage of a bill appro-
priating $4,000 to purchase a law library for
Dakota, Mr.. Hanna, of Indiana, made this
remark II know how hard it is for a del
"egate from a territory to have any inhu-
" ence in the American congress. He may
" have a voice, but he can have no vote.',
Mr.. Hanna's assertion contains nothing new.
This is a grievance which the people of the
territories have long had to bear, though
they have keenly felt its injustice. Mr..
Hanna has virtually admitted, upon the
floor of the house, that unless a representa-
tive of that body has a vote to give, a vote
to sell, or a vote to trade, his advocacy of
measures is weak and Intellectual. No mat
ter if his measure closely concerns the inter.
ests of his constituents or of the country at
large, if it be based upon the ~strictest jus
tice to all, if it be the embodiment of a ne
cessity to his people, he can have no inau-
ence in moulding it into a law because he
has no vote. 1t is a hu-
initiating confession to spread upon
the records of the national congress, but
Mr.. Hanna has placed it there and there it
will remain. The mission of a legislative
body is to make laws for the bettcrment of
the people, the members relying upon their
individual judgments to direct them in dis
eliminating as to the necessity or justice of
the special measures brought before them.
If it appear to them that a proposed law,
be just in all its requirments and that the
interests of any particular section would be
advanced by its passage, then 1t is their
plain moral and legal duty 10 give their votes
In favor of such propo-
sition without stopping t.:
inquire, has the author and advocate of this
bill a vote to give to us in return for the
votes we are to give to him?" 1t is a mourn
full commentary upon the degsneracy of the
public service that a member of the Amer
lean congress unhesita.ingly announces from
his place upon the floor that unless a brother
member has a vote he possesses no influence
to further the rights and interests of the
thousands of people whom he represents.
Congress has, insensibly perhaps, drlted
into this custom without even considering
that it is the very embodiment of corrup.
ton. tt is an element of success in great
statesmen to be able to 60 about among the
other great statesmen and swap votes until
he has procured sufficient strength to carry
through his little bill. But the insigni6-
cant territorial delegate must take . back
seat while this process goes on. This is
why Mr.. Hanna came to admit that he
knew how hard it was for a delegate from
q territory to have any influence in the
American congress.

Dear Sir:-About ten years ago my health
nearly a year later was attacked by typhoid
fever i'll its worst form: 1t settled in my back,
and took the form of u large deep-seated alb

suffered great pain al INES, and was constantly

passed through Your mandatory, noting the in
gradients. &c by which your remedy is pro-
duced..
BY what l saw and heard l gained some conf

l commenced taking it soon after. but felt
worse from its effects; still l .perSevercd, and
Yet I did not see the results ! desired till I had
taken it faithfully for Il little more than a year
when the difficulty in the back was cured ant

l have in that time gained twenty five pound:

life, and l was never more able to perform laboI

During the past few weeks I had a Scrofulou,

Safe and Sure.

MIR. II. r. STEVENS:
In 1872 your VeKetine was recommended to
me and, yielding to the perSuaSions Of Il friend,
| consented to try it. At the time I was suffer-
ing from general debility and nervous prostra-
tion, superinduced by overwork aud irregular
habits. Its wonderful strengthening and cura-
tive properties seemed to affect my debilitated
system from the first dose; and underitS persist
ent use l rapidly recovered, gaining more than
usual health and good feeling. Since then l have
no! hesitated to give Vegetine my most unqual-
fled Endorsement as being u safe, sure, and pow
erful agent in promoting health and restoring the
wasted system to new life and energy. Vege-
tine is the only medicine 1 use. and rs long rs l
live never expect to find Il better.

PATRICK EGAN'S FOLLY.

Concerning the self-ruin of foolish man
lately convicted of crime in Humboldt
County, the ISilver State of September s says;
Deputy Sheriff Burns left here last evening
with Patrick Egan for the State Prison. A
few months ago owned ranch and several
hundred head of cattle on the Little Hum
boldt, besides twelve or thirteen hundred dOlA
lars in coin. He had tbs reputation of being
peaceable and industrious citizen, and his
neighbors believed that in few years the in
crease of his cattle would make him, if not
rich, at least Independent. Last April, while
on his way home leading pack mule and
carrying rifle, he met John Farrell, a neigh
Dor, at whose house he had lived for some
time last winter, and with whom he parted on
good terms. According to his own statement
he ordered Farrell to halt, and he did not
do 80 instantly, Egan fred at him and shot
him through the head, killing him instantly.
He then came here and delivered himself up
to the authorities He was indicted for
murder, found guilty of manslaughter and
sentenced to State Prison for ten years He
is probably by this time lodged within the
walls of that institution, his money all gone
and his cattle mortgaged for nearly their full
value, and, of course, will be disposed of
unless some friends interpOse and try to save
something from the wreck for the unfortu-
nate man, so that when his term expires, if
he lives that long, he may have some means
with which to start anew in life. Truly the
way of the trangressor is hard.

'BEwILDERINGLY ATTRACTIVE. OF pro-
Jected tavern the Truckee Repu blicon speaks
in tho following terms:
A very wealthy gentleman named Jake Hay
has recently purchased fine piece of property
about mile faom Tahoe City. The property
consists of tract of land peculiarly fitted for
a summer resort. 1t reaches from the lake
shore to the mountain overlooking the lake.
Mr.. Hay has already commenced building,
and improving the land, and identifying the
premises. He proposes to erect an elegant
mansion, suitable for residence and for the
accommodation of tourists. He also proposes
to lay out lawns and walks, to erect bathing
houses and to construct fishing ponds. Noun
tain streamlets will be conducted throughout
the walks 30 as to form cascades, miniature
lakelets, and here and there to supply magnif-
icent fountains. The dense pine forests near
the house, the grand overhsnging mountains,
the pebbly wavewashed shore, and the costly
improvements being made, will render this
bewilderingly attractive resort. We are in
formed that the work will continue during the
winter, and will be completed in time for next
summers business.

THE Austin RereiNe is about to appear in
whole new suit of type. Also the proprietors
have replenished their establishment with an
abundance of new and choice job material,
including presses; and SO, in letting their
light shine in the direction of an expensive
post-diluvian reconstruction, the proprietors
say:
Since the cloudburst which destroyed our
old office, we are obliged to run under an in
creased expense, paying rent, insurance and
other matters, where before We were free from
them, besides having revenue from rental.
The increased expense amounts to the price
of dozen ordinary business advertisements,
which is large item for small paper; so it
will be seen that We need every dollar Of pat
ronage the people of Austin can possibly af-
ford us, in order to keep the RsceiHe up a
daily publication. We don't propose to beg:
but this is business, and the business man in
Austin who fails to support the Rewille is
lacking in proper public spirit.
Any Austinian who fails to lend his aid to

Sazarac Club as a man who has all the dispo-
sition to be liar without the genius to make
him eligible to membership.
