The White House.

A. Berwin, of the White House, re-
ceived an additional consignment OF
goods yesterday, among which we no.
ticed some elegant suits of fine mate
rial and handsome make. The num-
Der of fashionably dressed men in
town is accounted for by the fact that
they buy their clothes at the White
House, and their constant demands
make it necessary for Mr.. Berwin to
keep a buyer in the wholesale market
constantly employed in selecting and
shipping to Eureka the latest styles. =

An Astonishing Fact.

A large proportion of the American people
are to-day dying from the effects of dyspepsia
or disordered liver. The result Of these d.
seases upon tho masses of intelligent and val
liable people is most alarming, making life
actually a burden instead of a pleasant exist
to be. There is no good reason for this, il
yen will only throw aside prejudice and SIX ep-
ticism, take the advice of druggists and your
friends, and try one bottle of Green's August
Flower" Your speedy relief is certain.
Millions of bottles of this medicine have been
given away to try its virtues, with satisfac-
tory results in every case. You can buy q
sample bottle for ten cents, to try. Three
doses will relieve the worst case. Positively
sold by all druggists on the Western CONT

Feet burned.

BY the upsetting of a Stag pot on the
Richmond dump Tuesday evening,
one of the wheelers, Andrews by name,
had his feet badly burned, the right
one especially. The boot IA crisped
and the foot literally cooked by the
molten contents running over it before
he could get out of the way. He was
taken to his cabin, and medical aid
promptly rendered. The doctor thinks
he can save the injured extremity, but
it will be months before the man will
be able to work.

n DISGUISED INDIAN AGENT.

We learn from the Idaho papers that
Major Reinhart. who has been Indian
Agent at the Malheur reservation for
several years, is disguised with the
Indian policy of the Government, and
ashamed of the ineficieney of the In
aiaa Bureau. and has rendered his res
gnatior. He was Agent at Malhenr at
he time o4the Indian outbreak at that.
place, and ncs that his wards have left
him and taken TO sealping the settlers
In the vicinity of their late head
quarters, he resigns his position. 1t is
possible that remorse tor the treatment
which the Indians received at his hands
may have induced him to resign. Do
sing the years in which he has been
Agent be has made many reports TO his
Department. in which not one word is
said against the management of the
Indians. In his last report he repre-
scented the Indians at the reservation as
being satisfied with the treatment they
received. and recommended that a
special appropriation be made to ge.
he rowing bands" of Piutes in North
srn Nevada aud Southern Idaho to the
reservation. He stated as fact that
the Indians in the vicinity Of Camp
McDermii and at Winnemueoa were
dissatisfied and iemoraliZed,. while
those at the reservation were contented
and civilized. Subsequent events
prove that the reverse was true, as only
reservation Indians have joined the
Aostiles. and now that there is a prob
ability of en- investigation of sffAixs at
the reservation, the Agent resigns to
escape the consequences.

THE POTTER INvEs rIGATIoN.

The general Committee appointed by
Congress- to investigate election frauds
has adjourned until next Wednesday,
while subcommittee sent to. Louisi-
ana, continues in session. This inves-
tigation. which Congress declared was
not for the purpose of questioning the
validity OF Hayes title to the Presi-
dency, has been denounced as revolu-
tionary by the fanatical press. which,
while processing to be in favor of Re.
publican form of Government, and in
submitting to the will of the majority,
as expressed at the ballot box. furiously
oppose every attempt to expose and
punish the scoundrels. who by altering
returns. subvert the popular will and
declare whom they please elected re-
gardless of the decision of the electors.
The investigation SO far, discloses a
condition OF affairs in two States of the
Union which cannot be tolerated by
free people. A half dozen men and
women, who by their own admissions
are shown to be perjurers who have not
the slightest regard for the sanctity of
an oath, make and unmake Presidents
and Governors at will, and Deny under
cath to day what they stated as facts,
under oath yesterday.
What wonld the people of Nevada
think of the right of suffrage if the
Board of Canvassezs in summing up
the vote of the State at an important
election should throw out the votes of
whole counties to give their legally de-
feated personal and political friends
majorities2 Would they quietly SUBJ
init to the decision of the Board and
continue the farce of voting at SUISSE
quent elections with the full knowledge
that the popular majority could be set
aside by stroke of the pen, and de
feated candidates declared elected2
Would they denounce as revolutionary
an investigation intended to expose the
rascality of the Board, and ask that its
members be rewarded with fat Federal
offices? They certainly woald not.
Yet newspapers are published in the
State and supported by its citizens
which conntenance these unrepubliean
acts andidenounce as revolutionary all
attempts to expose aud punish those
who perpetrated them.

velop moneyed aristocracy Is yet to be seen i;
the millionaires Of the North, grown fatby the
war, appear to hold ON to their money as
tightly as English peers. Neither the panic nor
the hard times can take their money from
them. Nor Is this wealth now limited to one
generaUon but 1t is handed down from father
to son and kept together In one lot as In
the Vanderbilt case, just as the English noble
man keeps the property In the family by the
law OF entail.
