PURE "CUSSEDNESs."

About . week ago an item ap-
peared in the TIMES which stated, in
effect, that Harry Fontecilla, (who
had just come in from Bodice had no
coDfacnes In the future Of that
camp. The opinion was expressed
BY Mr.. Fontecills in conversation
with the foreman and composition
of the TINES, and in the following
words:
Mr.. Fontecilla.-Silver is dull
now; but it will 'liven up soon.
Wait till B0die plays out.
us Booie going to play QUIT"
Eyes; they havn't found ledge
Of any size there yet"
A couple of days afterward the
Virginia Chronicle published an
article headed s.Justioe to the Boz
die Mines" in which the following
sentence occurred:
Mr.. Fontecilla informs the Chron-
icle that he never authorized the
statement published in the TIMES,
and does not claim to know any
thing about the lodges of Bodie.
Last Saturday Mr.. Fontecilla
called at the TIMES Office to make
an explanation. He said that the
publication OF the "correction" in
the Chronicle, was not at his re-
quest. Last Thursday +. l.. Col.
non, . reporter for that paper,
stopped him on @ street, and, az
ter . general conversation about
Bodie, referred to the TINES item,
whereupon he (Fontecilla) in
formed Colnon that he did not
claim to be an expert, and that
his opinion of mines was Of no
value. Mr.. Colnon thereupon rushed
of, and procured the insertion of
the "correction.
The item which originally appeared
in the TINES was inserted because of
tho local interest attaching to it. Mr..
Fontecilla finished his apprentice
ship in this Office, and his parents
still reside in this city. He is a
steady worker, and first-class
printer. The Chronicles "correc-
tion," it seems, is due solely to the
innate meanness Of Mr.. Colnon, who
succeeded this scribe as mining re-
porter for the Chronicle few months
after he (this scribe) purchased the
TIMES, We would therefore, respect
fully but firmly, suggest to Mr.. Col
non that he spare less of his valuable
time to the TINES, and that he de-
vote more to the collection and prepa-
ration of important news items OF
general interest about the Comstock
mines. The Chronicle has been sadly
behind its local contemporaries, in
this respect, for some time past, and
unless there is an improvement soon,
it will lose what reputation it ever
had as a mining authority.

AN energetic effort is being
made by some parties in New York
to reach and cut down the enormous
salaries paid officials in that city.
The Legislature has passed one or
two bills to meet the question, in
which are some new features. The
amount of money to be raised by
tax is limited after this year, and all
heads of departments are required
to regulate their expenditures SO tina,
they shall not exceed the amount
fixed by the board Of apportionment
This board fixes the amount to he

head Of each department to decide
by what means the amount shall be
made to cover their expenses,

There is, as stated, great quantities Of ex-
ceedingly rich mari IN this vicinity. DIR.
Arlington at one time thought he had about
perfected an arrangement with the railroad
companies for cheap transportation over the
roads leading out from this place, and did
propose to deliver large quantities, ground
up and put in bags. at s. per ton, and 50
certain was he Of e~tfecting the arrangement
that he raised from the pits fifteen hundred
to two thousand tons and had ordered, if We
mistake not. mills and other machinery for
crushing and grinding it into a powder.
In all due Difference to the opinion Of
Professor Kerr, we have no doubt but a
large and profitable business may be done IN
getting out, bageing up and distributing 10
planters over the State mari in this manipu
lated form. DIR. LeDoux, the State Chem

hotel, school. public and private building
warehouse, depot. ETC., had its 1utterine
streamers; and in many Instances small flag
were displayed from every window and
piazza. Every street had hundreds of large
banners stretched across IL; horse cars were
covered with them. and the walls of all pub
lie Assembly rooms were festooned with
| them. The faver raged alike in cities. towns.
and country. Every barn had its streamer,
and often each rate-post had a miniature
fac. II was simply wonderful where SO
much parti-colored stuf could be procured.
Rut these vagaries were not confined to
flags. All manner Of badges, pins, scarfs,
and insignia were worn. Grave old men APP
peared with glaring red, white, and blue
neck-tles, and many women wore dresses OF
the same hue.
Nor was this display of cheap patriotism
in all cases optional The principal cities
were dominated to mob rule. No man dare
raise a voice in opposition to the prevailing
madness: nor so much as c~rlticiSe the meth
DDS of the Administration. Every man of
Southern birth was in danger Of his life, no
matter how long he had resided at the
North. Every pronounced Democrat was
suspected, watched. and In thousands Of
cases assaulted. No Democrat OF prominence
dare omit the flag from his dwelling, his
DuSlueSS mousse, or ScalCly IIOul Ills pig Stye.
Two days after Lincoln's proclamation, a
mob in New York, defying the police, forced
the Journal of Commerce, the Express, the
DaybOOk, and the NelCs, to throw flags out of
the front windows on pain of instant des-
tructiOn.
A letter from that city dated April 10th
says, mo Democrat is safe, free speech is
not allowed, the press is gagged, one print
ing establishment has been entirely sacked,
others are threatened with blowing up with
gunpowder and even the Herald has covered
before the mob which reigns supreme"
The .Statcs,' a Democratic journal at
Washington, said-"every movement is
hedged in by soldiery, every utterance is
checked by fear Of the mob. The shadows
of military ~despotism on one side. and mob
law on the other, embrace the National
Capital" The paper was next day broken
Up. In Philadelphia, a paper called the
Nonitor was sacked, and its editor forced to
fly for his life. In the same city, Gen. Pat
terson. one of the wealthiest citizens, whose
refusal to hang out a flag was a matter of
personal, rather than political, feeling had
barely time to fly out of a back passage as
the mob burst in the front door, and utterly
ruined his furniture.
In the small town Of Media, where | was
at school, a druggist whose antl-corclon SEN
timents had made him a marked man, was
visited by a mob Of war-howlers, who after
smashing his handsome windows and case
bottles, forced him to kneel In the middle of
the street and swear that he was willing to
take up arms against the South.

Mr.. G. W. Tayleure, the well-known
manager, has recently opened dramatic
agency in New York. More than one refer
ence has been made in these columns to
the high principle, energetic character and
enthusiastic zeal with which this gentle
man has for many years pursued the dra-
matte avocation. His choice of new duties
is certainly OF interest and can not fail to be
of benefit to the dramatic profession.
Mime. Nilsson had a rapturous reception
on her first appearance at Her Maiesty's
Theater few days ago. She had not sung
in London for two years, and the public
was delighted 10 hear her again. She chose
Faust" to effect her temperance in, and
| it is said by the English papers that she
was never more charming as Marguerite"
| than on this occasion. Campanini was the
Faust" and Foil the "Mephistopheles."
A story concerning the late Mrs. How ard
Paul is related by the Dramatic News. Once
| in London, when there was large take,
Sims Reeves, who was the hero of the hour,
sent word that he was indisposed. The
manager knew this meant the return OF the
money, Mrs Howard Paul was one of the
| singers and at moments notice she went
on for Mr.. Reeves, and initiated his voice
and manner so correctly that no one knew
the difference.
Mr.. Charles Backus the negro minstrel,
said to q reporter of the Rochester Union:

De Wolf, the great longdistance rider,
has hit upon very novel plan for max

ingham, who has been creating such a
furore at the Theatre Comique for the
past two weeks by her "Mazeppa" per.
formances, is very experienced eques-
trienne, and prides herself on her riding
abilities, he sent her challenge. He
proposes, for stake hereafter to be
agreed upon, to ride fifty miles, changing
horses each mile, in shorter time than
it will take her to ride thirty miles, she
to change horses at whatever intervals
she chooses. Miss Buckingham is full OF
pluck, and on the reception of the chal'
ienge she promptly signitied Der accept
ance. The curious contest will probably
take place at the fair grounds at an early
