NIGHTLY MIXED.
The Meeting OF the Chinese Asso
e~infinn.

The Meeting of the Chinese Assoc
citation.
The monthly meeting was held at the
intended, the object Of this association
was to devise means whereby Eureka might
be rid Of her Chinese population, and it
was understood that this was the only end
sought to be attained. If last nights
meeting could be classed as an anti-Chi-
nese affair exclusively, the party that
would so designate it possesses powers Of
discrimination which we frankly confess
we do not inherit. 1t was anti-railroad.
anti : Mormon, historical, eulogistical,
American. etc. with an occasional ~allusion
to the Chinese thrown in by way OF sauce
10 the gander. Towards the last, however,
some reference was made to the object for
which the association was formed, aud q
committee was formed to take some steps
looking to the exclusion Of wash-houses
from within the city limits.
The mistake the workingmen have al
WAYS made is that they have COMPOUNDED
their grievances with those of others, and
nave allied themselves with parties who
in reality have no sympathy with their
cause. The revolutionary sentiments ex-
pressed at last nights meeting will find no
echoing response from any considerable
body of people, and only serves to retard
the work that those assembled seek to ac-
complish.
The position taken by one Of the speak
ers that the ballot-box was the best place
TO correct the evil, and that it should be
struck 1t the root, sounded prettily. and
the accompanying burst of eloquence car
ried the audience by storm. The speaker.
however, neglected to state that the pres
epce of the Chinese on this Coast is one of
the results Of the Burlingame treaty ; that
Arson %Burlingame, who negotiated it, was
a Massachusetts Republican, and not a
bloated %bondholder by any means; that it
was ratified by q Republican Congress and
signed by a Republican President, and
| that q bill to restrict that immigration was
vetoed by a Republican President. He
| could then have added that for years he
| had been a consistent and faithful adher-
ent of that party. but having failed in its
duty to the ~workingmen, he felt bound
| hereafter to strike at the root OF the evil,
and vote a straight Democratic ticket
hereafter.
The next meeting will be held on the
second Monday in June. and it is to be
hoped that it will confine itself strictly to
| the cuisines for which it was organized.

Are Consigned.
One Of the first acts Of the present Board
Of County Commissioner was an examine
ton Of the County Hospital, and the SESrr-
SEL's local accompanied them on the occa-
sion. Both Mr.. Turner and Mr.. Campbell
condemned the present building in I'M
qualified terms, and announced their in
tention Of securing a more suitable loca-
tion and building Immediately. That was
In January last, and since that time we
have heard bat little concerning its re-
moval. Now that the subject Of incorpor-
alton, the Courthouse and other matters
are off the hands Of the Board, let them turn
their attention to this most deserving Of
all charitable institut ions. We inspected
the place yesterday, and found it in worse
condition than in January last. Mrs.
Hunter, the matron, has been ill for some
ten days past, which is scarcely a matter Of
surprise, considering the character OF the
house in which she has lived. There are
twenty-three inmates at present within its
walls, and in the upper portion, which is .
half-story, extending the entire length OF
the building, we found fourteen men, in
various stages Of different diseases. hud-
died on the floor. with not sufficient bed
clothing to protect them from the cold.
Two doors and q window are all the means
Of ventilation, and the atmosphere Of the
place was foul and horrible beyond de-
scription. 1t is a disgrace to any civilized
community. and surely Eureka can afford
to be more generous to those whom ad YER
sity and disease has forced within its walls.
1t would be an act Of kindness to the pa
tients were the institution closed entirely,
and they left to the mercy Of . public,
that undoubtedly would provide for them.
were their condition generally known.
Nine persons were in the place on January
first, and since that time seventy-nine adj
ditional ones have been admitted, nine of
whom lave died, and twenty-three still
remain

The accident At the Eureka.

Mention was made in yesterdays SESTI-
MEL of an accident at the Eureka Con-, the
narticulars of which we had been unable
to learn. 1t appears that a miner named
Francis Downing was engaged in thawing
a giant powder cartridge when 1t exploded
and he was struck on the right side OF the
head with a plank. making a fearful gash
from the crown Of his head to the neck
while his body, from head to loot, was
| filed with a large number OF small stones
and pebbles. DR.. Bishop estimated tna'
| he had extracted about one n OF .he
| latter. Medical assistance was rendered
a. soon as possible, and he will probably
| recover.

Removal of Judge Crallebau-h's
Remains.

The remains of Judge Cradlebangh,
who died in Eureka in 1872, were disin-
TERED yesterday, by request Of his brother,
who arrived recently, and will be sent to
his former home in Ohio. The Judge.
it will be remembered, was Territorial
Delegate to Congress from Nevada, and
was also United States District Judge Of
Utah, while Nevada was a portion OF that
Territory. He was the first man who at
tempted any investigation Of the Noun
tain Meadows massacre. aud Mas first on the
ground where it occurred. During the
war he commanded an Eastern regiment,
and during ar engagement lie received a
sabre wound that was ultimately the cause
of his deutti. At the close Of the war, he
removed to Oregon, and was associated
with Judge Bryan, formerly of California,
in the practice of law. Becoming tired Of
Oregon, he returned to Nevada, and ar
rived in Eureka early in 1871, and pros
pected the surrounding country. Al
though holding Federal and other positions
for years, he saved nothing from his sal
airy, and was in reduced circumstances at
the time of his death. His son still re-
sides in Genoa, Douglas county, in this
State.

Il will be remembered that alter
the Louisiana Returning Board stole
Louisiana from 1ilden, and gave II to
Hayes, the members of the Board
were prosecuted crimiually for the
theft. OF all the members Of the
Board one Casauave, only, had proper.
ty, and the lawyers for the defense fell
upon him for some $4,000 for their
services. To be sure, all the other
members of the Board, and their sis
ters and their cousins and their aunts,
had Office under the Administration,
and Casapave had not, but the lawyers
naturally saw something more tangible
in the property Of Casanave than in
salaries paidto men dishonest enough
to steal q State. So they proceeded to
seize upon shat property. and Casa
nave came here to lay the case before
Hayes, Sherman and other benefici.
aries Of the fraud. The legal advisers
of Sherman paid about sne-halt OF
the amount, but have so far failed to
nay the balance. Probably, consider
ing the important campaign going on
in Ohio, Messrs. Hayes and Sherman
will, now that an exposure Of the at.
fair has been made, pay over the bal
ancs to prevent further Developments
threatened by Casanave. What the
latter said when he left here was this:
Il hope to shake the dust Of Wash
ington from my feet within the next
twenty. four hours, and not to return
until this Administration shall have
terminated ito infamous existence"
A delegation visited Mr.. Hayes yes.
terday in regard to some District OF
Columbia matter, and in the language
of the newspaper report OF their pro-
ceedings, left him with a strong i'm.
preston that their mission would
prove successful" This is getting to
be monotonous. I have known dog
en- applicants for one place. all Of whom,
after visiting Mr.. Hayes, had this same
strong impression that their mission
would prove successful. Sometimes

On our return from Austin last week
We came over the new departure IN
the road arcoss the Blanoo. We have
no more personal interest 10 the mat
ter than any other citizen-less than
most others-and speak without per-
soual feeling or prejudice when we
say that the proposed change is one
most detrimental to the public conven'
fence and interest. 1t makes the dis
tauee some two miles further; the
crossing of the Blanco will wash away
at the first high-water and become
impossible; it will take years for the
road to become settled like the old one
and the route can never be as eligible.
"The geates: good to the greatest num-
ber" 10 the true rule in making changes
oilthis sort, as 10 other public matters.
Il seems to US clear that the County
commissioners should either re open
the old road, or compsl the parties in
whose interest the change is proposed,
aud who arc abundantly able, to make
such ample pecuniary compensation
as may secure the shortest and
best route for the change. The rights
and iutere SITS of the great body OF the
people should not be sacrificed to the
wishes Of q few individuals. however
respectable or Influential, without ad-
equate compensation, Such at any
rate is our opinion, for which we make
