The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1878-05-15

Man is the creature of interest and
ambition. His nature leads him forth
into the struggle and bnst.ile of the world.
Love is but the establishment of his
early life, or song piped in the intervals
of the acts. He seeks for fame, for for
tune, for spaces in the world of thought,
and dominion over his fellow men. But
a woman's whole life is history of the
affections. The heart is her world it is
there her ambition strives for empire it
is there her avarice seeks for hidden
treasures. She sends forth her sympa-
thies on adventure she embarks her
whole soul in the traffic of affections !;
and if shipwreeked, her case is hopeless
for it is bankruptcy of the heart.
Washington Irving.

THE NEW MAIL ROUTE.

In commenting upon our recent
article entitled "The Shylocks of Es-
meralda," the Aurora Herald says:
The Postmaster at Bellevile surely
cannot have any objection to per-
forming the little extra labor required
in his office if the new route is
equipped. 1t is to the interest of
every citizen of this county that more
mail facilities are had; and If such
matter cuts any figure in the Senat-
orial, or in any other fight, the Her
aid may be- set down on the side of
more and efficient mail routes.
This matter will certainly be thor
oughly canvassed, as the people OF
this county want direct route from
Dayton to Belleville, and SO do the
Esmeraldans. They went to a great
deal of trouble to have it ordered,
and now they have secured it they
do not propose to be done out of il
by postmaster's within. II the
Postmaster at Belleville finds that to
make up an extra mail, once week
is too. great an addition to his other
duties, he must resign. The mer.
chants of Lyon and Storey counties
need all the trade they can get, and
cannot afford to allow any business
which belongs to them to go to Sac
cramento or San FRANCISCO.

AN EDITOR ANGERED.
Dissatisfied With His Printers. He
Threatens Dire infection on
the Public.

The Hon. II. r. Mighels, distracted
at the many typographical errors
that appear in the columns of the
Carson Appeal, threatens dire pun
ishment on the public. He intends
to-but we will allow him to tell it
himself:
Just as soon as il is possible for us
to secure the necessary materials and
enlist the needed force of compost
tors, we are going to commence the
publication of midday paper to
be called The Editors Apology; the
same being amendatory of and sup
phenomenal to the suppressed vol
ume known as The Paralyzed Proof
Reader; or, the Somnolent Seer of the
Sierra. AS limiting at the tone and
purport of the prospectus of this pro-
jected publication, it may be said
that the editor has found it exceed
ingly difficult to eat his pudding and
still have it remain to him, his heirs
and assigns, intact, and as it had not
been devoured, as it were. That is
to say, if the editorial person will
remain away from his printing office
at night and thus deprive himself of
an opportunity to read the proof
sheets wherewith his writings are
exhibited to him in the virgin state
of their incipient typography Gf we
may employ so involved manner of
expression); if, we say, he persists in
pursuing this kind of course, he may
expect to see, as in these days he
does see with his blistered eyesight,
his small bantlings murdered, scalped
and disemboweled. utterly mutilated
and transmutilated, distorted, disfig-
ured and deformed past all recogni-
tion,. and done unto lingering and
horrid death, and no help at hand.
Possibly this is somewhat extrava-
giant in tone; but grief, chagrin, NOR
ti6cation, rage, frenzy-these may
not find expression in the smooth
words OF tranquility; nor yet be
voiced in the set phrases of bland
ness and in the polished, self-con-
trolling language of sauvity and
self-content. Neither are we like
Niobe, childless and crownless in a
= voiceless woe !
1t is to be hoped that the suavc
Mighels will not allow his displeas
Ire to again carry him beyond tn,

guage of sAUyITy and self-coptept.'

-THE White Pine News, in dis
cussing the position assumed by the
Eureka Sentinel, that the bullion tax
should be collected yearly, instead
of quarterly, says that "the Sentinel
presents its views in favor of modi-
fication of the bullion tax in plausi-
BILE manner, but careful analysis OF
the whole question lays bare the
fallacy of its position. The mer-
chant and farmer are not taxed on
the profits of their business, but on
the capital invested. A merchant
may have on hand stock of goods
valued at $780, 900, and not be able to
realize dollar profit on his invest
ment, yet he is assessed and bias to
pay taxes on this property just the
same as if he had disposed of his
goods at profit of so per cent. /;
and if his goods lay on the shelves
unsold till the assessor comes round
the next year they are assessed and
taxed over again. SO with the
farmer, though he may have lost
money in operating his property, he
is taxed all the same as if it yielded
him a handsome income. If there
is any injustice in the mode of taxa
ton in this State it is not against but
in favor Of the mining interests.
Many mining corporations in this
State, whose properties sell in the
markets of the world for fabulous
sums pay little or no taxes for the
support of the State government. II
all the mining corporations in the
State were assessed, once a year, at
the current market rates Of their
properties in San Francisco and Lon.
don, and taxation levied on that basis,
then would the mining interests be
taxed like olher property. No tax i.
] exacted till it produces, while Other
property is taxed whether productive
or otherwise"

Every time mention is made of a
Louisiana man by the dispatches,
the editor of the Bodie Standard
speaks up, and pronounces Judgment
upon him with charming freshness.
Perhaps the people Of Louisiana were
too well acquainted with the Stan

duced him to come west in conse-
quence. He ought to be summoned
by Potter.
Mr.. Henry z. Osborne, the man
aging editor of the Standard, halls
from New Orleans, where he was
special correspondent for the New

Ocean, besides being regularly en-
ployed on the staff of the Daily Re-

physicians having advised him to re-
move to a mountainous region for
the benefit of his health, ex-Gover-

THE HARRIGAN AND HART
COMPANY.

This combination opened at Piper 5
Opera House on Monday night to a
fair, but not so large house as their
really meritorious performance de-
served.
OF the piece, "The Doyle Brothers, -
little can be said, it being of the
class now making their appearance
on the stage, where a number of
scenes are arranged to enable one or
more clever performers to display
their particular line of business. In
this piece Messrs. HarIigan and Hart
appear in no less than six different
characters each, representing sue
cessively, The Irishman and Maid,
The French Danseuse, The English
Swell, The Plantation Darkey, The
Chestnut man, and the Commander of
the Gallant ty-ninth-in each and
all of which these gentlemen proved
that the encomiums so lavishlv be-
slowed upon them by the press of
this coast were we'll deserved. Where
everything is so well done it is hard
to particularize, but We cannot let
the occasion pass without compli-
menting Mr.. Hart for his really
clever makeup of head and face in
female characters, which is equal to
anything we have seen on the stage.
1t is to be regretted that the piece
does not give other members of the
troupe better opportunity as several
members of the combination, even
with the limited means afforded them,
gave evidence of more than average
ability.
One of the features of the play is
the drill of the Gallant Sixty ninth
by party composed of thirteen
boys ranging in years from seven to
fourteen. Twelve of these boys are
FULLY armed and equipped after the
manner of the regiment whose nam
they bear. The thirteenth is COL

one-half that was expected of it when

Ing mAnI SOmplfcateu interests

We extract the following from a
recent issue of the New York Engin.
eering and Mining journal:
At the mouth or the tunnel the
Sutro Company have laid out town,
have secured magnificent water,
power, and expect to realize largely
on that part of their investment, by
the removal of most of the mining
and milling operations on the veins
from Virginia City to Carson. With
reference to the means which have
been provided for prosecuting work,
we note the statement that deed of
trust or mortgage was executed in
1878 by the Sutro Tunnel Company
to ROBERT MCCALMoNr and Isaac
SELIGMAN, both of London, England,
as trustees, to secure the payment of
principal and interest on the bonds
TO be issued to the amount of s., 000,-
900 gold, or 81 100000. The deed or
mortgage conveys to McCALNoNT and
SELIGNAN, in trust, as joint tenants,
and not as tenants in common, all
the right, title, and interest of the
Sutro Tunnel Company in and to the
tunnel, land, and other property of
the company, and all rights, privi-
ieges, and franchises thereunte apper-
tanning, until the principal and inter-
est on the bonds are paid,
The company is allowed twenty
five years or until October LIST, 1902,
in which to redeem the last of the
bonds, and an extension of those first
falling due, was recently granted to
January 1st, 1891.
Also, the following:
By the way, how would some of our
friends among the Comstock superin-
tendents like to peruse again tine testi-
mony they gave on this subject, q
few years ago, before the Committee
on Mines and Mining of the House
of Representatives. Are We dream
ing, or did we not hear, on high prac-
teal authority, that the Sutro Tun-
mel would never be completed; that
it would do DO good if completed !;
that it would not be needed for drain
age, because there was SO little water
in depth; that it would not assist
ventilation that ventilation was good
enough, anyhow that it could never
transport ores, etc, etc.
1t is long road still, and We will
not say an easy one, to the fulfill
ment of all Mr.. SUTRo's hopes.
Whether ores will be taken through
the tunnel to be concentrated and
reduced on the Carson, is ques-
ton involving many complicated
interests, as well as technical diff
culties. Of the latter, one of the
most serious appears to be that if
the tunnel proves greatly useful in
yentiating the deep workings and
reducing their temperature, it may
not be thought advisable to impair
It's efficiency in this respect by chok-
ing it with trains of cars. 1t still
remains to be determined in which
way it can be made most useful, and
how many functions it can success
fully discharge at once,

For District Judge Richard Rising
has no objection to fill the bench an
other term; and C. c. Goodwin. a
gentleman of considerable experience
and sound erudition, is mentioned.
but positively refuses to become a
candidate.

willing to serve as District Attorney.
Mr.. Drake has made much better
District Attorney than was expected
when he was elected.
Archie Mcdonnell and Charles
Williamson are willing to serve their
regular rations to the county's guests
at the county Jail, and perform such
other duties as may be required of
the high Sheriff of this county.
Henry Ro,fe, A. Williams, George
1. Lammon and Joseph Mcdonald
are, each and all OF them, willing to
act as County Clerk.
Charles S. Rawson is willing to be
the next County Recorder, but L. B.
Hastings thinks he would make a
better Recorder than any other man
in the county.
II the Democrats think the Asses
sorship big thing, the Republicans
are evidently perfectly willing to take
charge of it, and four candidates are
already in the field. They are Dan
Lyons, E. L. Buckingham, Anthony
Fox (present incumbent) and Will
liam Skyrme-all very good men.
Skyrme, however, has mining inter-
ests in Bodie, and is not considered
a resident of the Comstock.
B. II. Carrick and E. Eye think
they can take care of the county's
funds, and are willing to try the
Treasurership.
