Mr.. JAY GOULD will never forgive
Senator THURMAN for securing the pas
sage of an act 10 make the Pacific rail-
roads pay up their Indebtedness to the
Government. AS soon as he heard Of
THURNAN's defeat last week Mr.. GOULD
went up and waved his hat from the tall
tower of his newspaper building and
gave three cheers for himself. He also
directed that his newspaper should give
THURMAN few kicks, just to make sure
that he is really dead. Having inn
pressed the tall tower editor with the
Importance Of this thing, and having
seen it enthusiastically started, Mr..
GOULD apparently had his attention
taken up with something else and has
forgotten to tell his newspaper when
10 stop. AS it doesn't feel authorized TO
stop without orders from its owner, it is,
as usual, making a mess OF the business.
Meantime, the THURMAN act is declared
constitutional by the Supreme Court,
and the Government can now proceed
to collect some Of the millions OF dollars
due it from the Pacific roads.-PhiIddel-
phid Times.

1T is estimated that 10000 more inn
migrants will arrive in this country
during the last two months of the year.
This will make a grand total for 1879 of
almost $4,000 foreign settlers. The
Commissioners of Immigration think
that upon an average these people have
each brought with them so in money
and an equal value in personal effects.
This would make an aggregate capital of

NEVER was a man with such a Presi-
Dental itch as SHERMAN. He is making
himself quite amiable, a rare trait in a
SHERMAN, in his eagerness to secure
friends. Special agents swarm in the
South in his interest Letters and pic
lures in his interest are sent off in gov
eminent envelopes contrary to law; and
a Southern Republican cannot set his
foot in Washington without subjecting
himself to SHERNAN's attentions. He
invites long haired patriots to his house

THE DIsGRACED SECRETARIES.

THE DISGRACED SECREFARIES.
The above is the healing of an edito-
rial article in the Springfield Republican,
which is Republican in politics as well
as in name, in which it makes the fol-
lowing pungent comments on the
EvARrs- SHERMAN display at Cooper In
stitute, New York:
Secretary Evarts spoke for the New
York Republicans last night at Cooper
Institute, and Secretary Sherman speaks
next Monday evening at the same place
and for the same purpose. The Repub-
hcan candidate for Governor, A. b. Cor
nell, was removed from office, as naval
officer Of the port OF New York, by Sec
rotary Sherman for his defiance 10 the
Presidents order in continuing 10 run
politics while holding federal office. Mr..
Cornell was Ousted only after a pro-
lOnged struggle. He is now nominated
for Governor on the strength of the in
fluence in local politics illegitimately ac-
Quired by the prostitution of his federal
office 10 political purposes. 1t is, there
fore, nomination which Repub-
hcans who believe in civil SER
vice reform cannot support. Mr..
Evarts and Mr.. Sherman know this,
but they consent to leave their con-
sciences at Washington and to repair to
Cooper institute in succession 10 be ex-
hibited as cabinet ministers OF the adj
ministration, trucking TO q party pur-
pose. They stand before the audience
as mere simulacre Of the men they once
were, and in a pusillanimOus attitude.
They were under no obligation TO assist
in Mr.. CornelPs canvass or in the Re
publican canvass in New York. The
Republican party of that State has done
nothing for the administration, but has
opposed it at every step. We think it
would have been decidedly more digni-
fed, as well as more in eonsonance with
the principles of the administration, if
from Mr.. Hayes down it had treated the
New York canvass With the indifference
which should characterize the attitude
of the national administration toward
the effort of any local faction to triumph
by insult 10 itself.

BETHANY, October 23d,
Editors of the News.


This morning Bethany had another
conhagration, the work OF an incendiary
About a quarter to 8 o'clock the College
building was discovered in flames, and
the upper wing was entirely destroyed,
including the library, furniture and fix
lures of the three literary societies. Car
bon oil had 0een used in the centre and
main part of the building, but from some
providential and unseen circumstance
failed to do its deadly work. Every
body, men, women and even children,
worked heroically to subdue the flames
and keep the fire under control. The
loss suppose will amount to $50, 900,
and there is heavy insurance on the
building. A jug of carbon oil was found
in the centre of the building, where it
had been set on fire, which establishes
the belief beyond any possible doubt
that it was set on fire. At the hour OF
writing, no steps have been taken or
inquiry made as to who was the author
of the fire. and suppose if any steps
were taken the motives by which they
were governed would be similar to that
otiicious Smelling Committee, as there is
surely no cause Tor any alarm for these
trihing fires that occur occasionally in
this community, at least not enough for
any person to have that sense OF inse-
curity that was talked so much about a
short time ago.

The fire is conceded to have been the
work of an incendiary. Deliberate pre-

only prevented by timely discovery.

THE PARADISE MINEs

The mines Of Paradise, in Humboldt
county, are among the most promising in
the State. The "Silver State" comment
ing editorially on the outlook Of the situa-
ton in that direction, says:
The mines were discovered about a year
Ego, and they have produced all the money
that has been expended in developing them,
aud much more besides. The Paradise
C~ompany's mines, which embrace what
we're originally known as the Mountain
Bride and Rough d Ready locations, have
produced from ores shipped to Salt Lake
and Rye Patch at least $500. 900, and
miners say that not one-half that amount
has been expended in developing ores, Of
which there are now nearly 1000 tons on
the dumps. The same is rue Of the Big
Prize, Bullion and other locations. The
camp Is not indebted to San Francisco or
other capitalists sor the Developments
made, in fact, the value Of the bullion pro-
duced by the ores worked far exceeds the
total amount expended so far in the camp.
There Is not in the State, outside the Com
stock, a mining camp that paid all expenses
from the beginning and made such a show
ing without capital, except what the mines
have produced, as Mount Rose District.
Nearly all the mines are yet in the hands
Of the original owners, and a more inviting
Held for investment cannot be found on
the Coast.

Joe Wasson's Account OF Bodie
Aiae.
BoDrg, June IL.
The standard" this evening contains a
detailed description Of the recent strike in
the Bodie mine. written By Joseph WATSON.
In eight months last year this mine
yielded a million and a quarter dollars
from the old bonanza, one hundred and
ten feet in length and two hundred and
forty in height above the 306-foot level.
The present development is on the 433-foot
level, and has already uncovered 200 feet
In length by 800 vertically. The ledge is
OF an average thickness of two feet, the
filling being a mixture of metallic gold
and horn and native silver and silver in
sulphurets, a feature new to the district.
One foot Of the ledge resembles decom-
posed granite, and is quite heavy in loose
gold. Two seams are traceable~ throughout
the ledge wherever cut averaging ten
inches IN width. of a shaly character, filled
with coarse grains and nuggets of gold. the
latter OF from so cents to 80 in value.
Horn silver is a prominent feature
OF the vein. The whole so
remarkably rich that to state its
value appears like exaggerations, but it
amounts to thousands of dollars per ton.
Competent mining men have estimated
that a single carload of ore, of 1,4O0
pounds, would pay a dollar dividend ON
the capital stock of the Company. or $780,
coo, and that a million dollars could be
taken out in a month. The management
VIII refrain from gouging the mine and
will mix the rich with ores Of a lower
grade, in order to prolong the production
while prospecting the lower levels, conin-
ing dividends to sl0O, 900 per month. At
present writing, the richest point in the
nine is in the bottom of the winze, 473
feet from the surface, and the deepest point
IN the mine. The Bodie mill has COM
menced crushing ore. There are about
100 tons of ore at the mill. The ore-house
AZ the mine is full, and alongside the hoist
ing works there is a big pile of it fenced
IN. The strike, which is conceded TO be
a OF the richest in the history of quartz
mining, has created a great excitement in
inns section, and heavier machinery is be-
ing placed ON many of the mines.
