THE NES-DANGBERG CASE.

The very interesting case entitled as above
will be, most likely, one of the earliest mat
tiers to claim the attention of the Senate. AS
our readers are aware, a commission was ap-
pointed some weeks since to investigate this
case. The result is that the two votes at
Glenbrook out of which DIR. Haines was
counted, Tin fragrant violation of the law,
have been awarded to him. This (righteous)
award puts Mr.. Haiues one vote ahead-in
any event. There is an attempt upon the
part of the Dolly Warden purifiers to de-
Drive Haines of one of his votes at East Fork
Precinct by a very mean bubble. The name
of Dangberg on this ballot had been scratched,
and the name of Haines written, but the
writing of Mr.. Haines' name is done 50 awk-
wardly lin the matter of dotting the j, that
there is an excuse, or pretext, rather, for a
technical objection. But inasmuch as MIR.

and taking the evident meaning of the voter.
counted the ballot for Mr.. Haincs Also, as
we are credibly informed, the man who cast
the disputed ballot is ready to take oath that
he intended to write Mr. Haines name in
place of Dangbergs. This, of course, is a
settler-tho Mr., Haines can be elected with
out that ballot. Altogether this seems very
plain case in Mr. Haines' favor. and we trust
that the Senate will make early decision
in the premses-as we have no doubt they
will Indeed, it is high time that a precedent
in rebuke of fraud at the ballot box should be
made. Some real, practical "reform' is
greatly needed. We have had enough of the
sham and the counterfeit as we shall, all in
good time, show to orr readers.

AUSTIN CORRESPONDENCE.
AUSTIN, January |, 1879.

AUSTIN, January L, 1879
EDITOR APPEAL Will you be good enough
to appoint friend to arrange matters anent
that note of yours in regard to my old friend
Murdoch. Do you suppose Murdoch would
die without giving me notice. Jim is alive
and kicking, and one of the livest dead men
you ever saw [ enclose you scrap from
Forney's Progress which settles the question.
And now for few more of the memories of
other days; When Mr.. Kemble and his talent
ed daughter, Fanny, visited the United States,
they were very particular as to their support
Jim Murdoch, who was a young man and
held third position at the old Chestnut
Street Theater, was selected by Mr.. Kemble
to support Fanny because he was the only
gentleman in the company. Murdoch was at
that time hollow chested, coarse voiced and
altogether most unpromising actor but he
was a student and a gentleman. By hard
course of study, abstemious habits, rare in
those days, jim became the best reader and
the foremost representative of the more re
fined ShakSpearian characters of his day. He
was more, and is more; he is christian, a
patriot of the highest type, and a gentleman;
and as some fellow said, quoting Dan Web
ster's dying words, 60 he amt dead yet. One
more little memory and | am done: E'The
Lady of Lyons was first produced il Phila-
dephia at the cold Drury," on the site of
which stands to-day the office of the EceHjng
Bulletin. The management was then Wood &
haywood Wood was the ugliest man on the
stage, and his wife the ugliest woman, but
both were tirst-class actors-Mrs. w. was an
actress, by the way. Wood always claimed
first parts, and per consequence, played
Claude b1elnOtte. The papers of the morn
ing criticised him so badly that he abandoned
the character and it was assigned to Muir
dock, who at that time, was little better fitted
for it than Wood. Murdoch, by his patient
perseverance, rose gradually to a first rank,
and after having seen all the best actors in
Hamlet-Vandenhotf, Macready, Booth, old
Jim Wallack the handsomest Hamlet ever
on the stage, and thousand lesser Ii Ihts-I
can say with all sincerity, that Murdoch
conception of the character, his refined read
my, anu oubuuclt Dealing III Tie
or Mad Prince, suited me better than them
all. As to the modern representatives
Edwin Booth and few more of that ilk, they
are scarcely worth consideration. The elder
Booth was a splendid Hamlet, but for his I'M

ANOTHER OLD-TIMER GONE.

Crate T. Rousele, a wei known s del t
of the northern plrt of this county, who for
several months has been confined to his bed
in this place, breathed his last at an early
hour this morning. The ravages # that fell
disease, consumption, had wasted his form
until he had become the mere shadow of his
former self, and as he had become fully con-
scious that no mortal agency could possibly
prolong his lease of life beyond few more
weeks at farthest, death came merely as a
relief from further suffering The deceased
was among the pioneers of the coast, having
arrived in California with the early imml
grants, from Louisiana, his native State, and
Immediately engaged i'll mining: since which
time he has followed the varying fortune of
miner and prospector in Northern California,
Idaho, Montana and lastly Nevada. He was
among the first who located at the mining
camp now known as Mountain City, and was
subsequently the di .coverer of gold placers
which established the camp now known as
Island Mountain. Unfortunately for poor
Rouselle, though possessing an ordinary share
of human virtues, his organism was not
evenly balanced, and as usual in such In
stances the weakness by which he was beset
forced themselves into undue prominence, and
were the chief cause of his lack of success in
4ife. But poor Crate, with perl Fps few
friends, had fewer enemies, and now that
ife's fitful fever is over, there are perhaps
not one of that small number who has not
wiped out all remembrance of any lingering
bitterness towards him while living. A
goodly number of the old-time friends and
acquaintance Of the deceased, on foot and in
carriages attended the remains to their last
resting place at 2 o'clock this evening, and
services for the dead we're impressively de-
lvered at the grave by Rev. Mr.. McCulloch.
The deceased has married daughter living
in very comfortable circumstances at Red
Bluff, California.

WHAT THE PARIS GRAND OPERA
HOUSE COST

The new opera house, begun in the reign
of the late Napoleon, belongs to the State,
and was fifteen years in building. Its cost is
$4,000, 900. A manager of the opera is APP
pointed by the government, who receives a
subsidy of 500, 900 annually for the expenses
of maintaining the opera, Besides this, the
manager receives salary of 5000, with
81 500 additional for house rent and 81 900
for his carriage. Moreover, i'll case there are
any profits, the manager receives one-half,
of them. The expense of new scenery, new
music, and so forth is paid by the State. The
cost to the State of mounting the various
operas is, in round numbers, as follows: La
Juive, S3S 600; La Favorite, S33, 900; William
Tell, SIS 900; Hamlet $50, 900, Les Huguen-
otes, S34, 900; Robert LIE Diable, S3S, 900;
LIE Prophetic, $50, 900; L'Africaine, $50, 900;
The benefit to the director during the past
eight years has amounted to the sum of S134-
600, or 81 900 annually. When it is re
membered that many other similar institutions
are patronized and subsidized by the govern
ment, it will be- evident that Paris has some
special advantages in furnishing the finest
operas il the world -Ha1ttord CoUrnnt.

Washington, January 4.-The Government
railroad directors have sent their annua
reports to the Secretary of the Interior
They are of opinion that the Union Pacific
in view of extremely liberal aid it has re-
ceived from the Government, and the bril-
liancy of its success as a commercial enter
prise, should be judged by the most severe
standards known among railroad of the
country. Measured by this standard, they
report deficiencies many and apparent. At
the same time the property is being brought
up with steadiness, though slowly, to fair
degree Of average excellence The failure to
replace with steel rails the worn out iron
rails is sharply criticised, and the directors
say that although the policy now pursued by
the company IN regard to the material con-
ditiun Of the property is careful and sufi
GENTLY safe, it is by no means liberal nor such
as the country has right to expect or the
Government to insist upon.
