GOOD BYE, HOBART.

The political correspondence of the
Virginia Enterprise, located at Eureka,
who assumes to be we'll posted and Ia
know everything, but in reality knows
nothing, takes very much to heart the
very truthful statement we made short
time ago in regard to Hobart's chances
in the Eastern portion of this State, and
says there is "vast amount of humbug
inseparable from politics, and at times il
is INDUCED in to ludicrous extent. u
This is true. and we have observed
that the correspondent has INDUCED in
this article to great extent in most OF
his political items, such as bringing out
to public notice obscure persons, who
were never heard or thought of be-
fore. for prominent positions, and saying
that their chances were good. In fact,
judging from the general look of things,
it appears to US as though any man who
desiried having his name put in print
for political patronage. with Every
good show Of success" it 8 only pe.
cessary to throw" couple of drinks Of
gin into this correspondent, and it
would be done. After giving Batterman
black-eye, the correspondent then
goes on to tell of the many virtues of
Sly Billy Hobart. and says Hobart is
the best known and, in one sense, the
most popular" Now, there's where the
trouble comes in, for Hobart is so
thoroughly known among the Republic
cans of Eastern Nevada that they will
never again place him in a responsible
position, and he is most popular with
rings. This must be the lone sense"
of Sly Billy's popularity which the cor.
respondent speaks of. Is it not? The
correspondent says "local papers AFRO.
gate to themselves the right to manufac.
ture public opinion and color their re-
ports of the existing sentiments" This
Is false. The local paper Of this section,
which is indie pendent in politics. and
leans neither toward one side or the
other, only arrogates to itself the right
to herald forth the true sentiment of the
people and to expose the false statements
which this correspondent is employed to
write so as to deceive the people at large.
Our item seems to have effectually &C.
oomplished its mission, and it dropped
in the center Of the ring and put them to
flight. and we are very glad to observe
that the Republicans of the Western por-
ton of the State have availed themselves
Of our timely warning and have cast Ho-
bart aside, bringing forth as his substitute
the Hon. R. M. Daggett, o gentleman
of some ability.

Spotted Tail, the veteran Indian Chief,
now q Lieutenant in the army, is very
proud of bis position. The Deadwood
Pioneer says: About six weeks ago he
received from Paymaster Thornburg
$500 for six months service. He had the
trader change his money into one and
two-dollar bills, which made his 5000
represent about bushel of greenbacks.
He gave nearly all his money away to

enough to supply his immediate wants.

Cherry Greek Independent: The man
who was arrested on charge of killing his
wife on the way from Deep Greek to the
railroad, some four or five years ago, and
subsequently liberated, as nothing could
be proven. is reported to have died a
short time ago somewhere in Oregon,
coniessing to have done the deed and
that his victim is buried in the creek
near Egan. We have endeavored, with
considerable avidity, to trace this report
to the fountain head, but the SUM totum
OF the story appears to eminate from the
brain Of his lawyer, who in an odd mo.
moment of intoxication, said something
about the man, which seems to have
been enlarged upon.
Inasmuch as lawyers are very rarely
guilty Of telling the truth, except Sin an
odd moment of intoxication, we are in
clined to believe there is some truth
in the above item, for Mrs. Meers has
never been heard Of from the time OF bel
disappearance. Thus another one OF the
many mysterious murders which have
occurred in Nevada is brought to light.

The SAGEBRUsH TROUBLES We have
obtained from one of the whitemen in
terested in the sagsbrush business, the
following particulars OF the difficulty
with the Cinnamon. mention of which
was made yesterday: The land upon
which the brush is cut belongs to the
Government, none of the choppers hav-
any title to it. The Cinnamon claim all
the ground and will not permit the
whites to cut any brush from it. To
this the whites object as they have as
good right as anybody to cut from
Government land. Accordingly they
have been cutting wherever they pleased,
and on Tuesday the Cinnamon ordered
them to leave the ground, drawing their
pistols as convincing argument. The
whites were unarmed, and retired from
the contest, but came to town and pro-
cured arms with which to maintain their
rights, and will resume chopping on the
disputed ground. There will probably
be trouble; and the chances are that the
whites will be sustained by the COM
munity in general, as it is the opinion OF
nearly all whom we have heard speak of
the affair that the white men ought to
have few more privileges on Govern
ment land than Chinamen.-[T uscarora

We learn from q private letter from
Phoebe that the working force at tho Day
mine has been reduced, sixteen miners
having been discharged last week, leav-
ing but few at the mine. The reports
from the property are very discouraRing
there being little or no ore in sight at
the present time. The general impress
sion seems to be that an assessment will
be levied before many days Eureka
Sentinel.
We would not have taken any notice
of the above item but for fear that it
might mislead persons living in the
Wertern part of this State and in Cali
fornia, thus compelling them to sell
their stock at great loss. The above
item We do not hesitate to pronounce as
being utterly false. whether taken from
private letter or originating in the fer
tile brain of its producer. The Day
mine at the presen: time has more ore
exposed in it than ever heretofore and
its prospects are, by far, brighter. The
company is working all the men they
conveniently can, numbering some sixty
odd. There were some twenty-five men
working on the outside short time ago,
and having completed their job, the COM
pany having no further use for them at
the time, they were discharged. The
general impression here at the present
time is that there will not be an ASSESS
ment levied, for the people here are fully
aware that the mills can be made to turn
out thousands of dollars at moment 8
notice. OF course. if the insiders are
desirious of getting in the stock and
freezing out the outsiders, the chances
are that they will levy an assessment.
The Virginia Chronicle tells the fol-
lowing big icicle story. and if we were
not aware that the Chronicls is never
guilty of perversisy, we would have grave
doubts as to it being a reality.
At the first bob-station of the Cholar-
NoiOiooS-caNuBo OOuuludtlUu Ouhit, Ht
depth of about $50 feet from the surface,
there hangs from the nose of the bob an
icicle weighing fully two tons and half,
which is likely to cause some trouble
when the weather becomes milder, as it
increases in size day by day. 1t is feared
that it will continue to increase to such
an extent as to seriously endanger the
safety of the shaft in case of sudden
thaw. 1t is 30 large already that the
miners dare not break it off as it would
go crushing through the 100 feet of shaft
to the bottom, tearing out the timbers
and earth in its way, and destroying all
the lower half of the shaft The only
hope is that, having formed gradually
by dripprngs from above, it will melt in
the same way, as the weather softens. A
sudden and protracted thaw would give
rise to the most serious fears.
We will tell the Chronicle man a
secret. After an icicle get so large as to
weigh about two tons and half, dia-
mond, of the first water, forms at the
point, and is valued at about two and a
half million dollars. The only thing me-
cessary to secure this precious stone, is
to slide down the iccle to its point and
pluck it.

The progress of rebuilding the
city continues. On the the south
side of Franklin street Messrs.
Ligon& Settle have opened their new
confectionery, Mr.. Joslin his sad
ler's shop, and Cooke has moved
his jewelry and china ware into the
splendid new building now COM
plete. We have already spoken of
the beautiful stock of fancy china
ware displayed by this firm, since
which they have placed in their
window a splendid dinner service
ordered by Mr.. John Pettus, every
piece Of which is a work of art.
On the north side of Franklin a
fine block has been put up Messrs.
Rick, Rexinger, Walthall and
Others, and several other buildings
are under way which will fill up
the gap left by the old Court House.
At the lower extremity of the same
street Mr.. John Elders splendid
new building, which is to include
his own hardware store and two
public halls, has attained its second
floor. We cannot but regret that
the iron columns for the facades of
this building which front on Frank
lin street and Strawberry alley are

take it for granted that they are

We have already described to our
readers the machine invented by
Mr.. Davidson for the manufacture
Of paper bags, and have to add that
it has now been perfected in its de-
tails and its improvements, covered
by three patents, one for the paper
bag itself, which in strength and
neatness is an improvement on all
previous articles OF the class, and
two others for pecuiiarities in the
machinery.
Messrs. Davidson and johnson,
not having capital to start the enter
prise on their own resources, now
propose to organize a joint stock
company for its prosecution. There
is no doubt that paper bags are be-
coming an immense thing as an
article of merchandise, and we think
that this machine has been clearly
made out to be Il contrivance the
economy and efficiency of which is
undOubted. On the head of ecOnO-
my two points are to be noted:
First, there is no hand work what
ever in the sack thus manufactured /;
it is turned out complete from tie
machine. a very large portion of
the expense Of Other~4nachines of
the sort is that~ti1ey leave large
amount of work in the way of past
ing, folding, etc, to be done by
hand, thus necessitating the employ
ment of a large force.
Second, that the steam power de
manded is very small, a ten horse
power engine being sufficient to
work fifteen such machines.
On the head of efficiency the
double seam round the bottom and
the mode of folding, which can only
be appreciated by examining it, in
creases three-fold the ordinary
strength of such structures. Men
having capital to invest will do well
to examine it we believe it to be a
good thing.
Messrs. Davidson q johnson can
always be found at their workshop
on First Cross street, between Frank
lin and Commerce, and will cheer
fully exhibit and explain the ma
chine to all who mean business. Go
and see it.
