TIE STATE AND THE PRESS.

body, ignoring the sdemand which
went up from every quarter Of
the State for a Constitutional
Convention, devised and passed
a multitude Of ill-digested amend
ments to the constitution, and
then appropriated the insignificant
sum Of five thousand dollars to
pay forty-nine newspapers to print
and bring them before the people.
At the low rate allowed by the
law TO the papers for printing
public advertisements it would
require nearly seventeen thousand
dollars to compensate these jour
nails. Hence there u.s., as our
IClinton contemporary shows, a
deficit between the appropriation
and the compensation legally and
Justly due the country papers OF
nearly twelve thousand dollars.
The gross injustice Of this must
be evident to every right think
ing citizen of Louisiana. In no
State in the Union are there such
a multitude of useless officials,
and in no State Of the Union a e
all officials, both the useless and
the necessary, SO extravagantly
paid. Yet when the Legislature
came to deal with the press and
the officials, il refused to call a
convention to lop off the useless
Offices and cut down the salaries
of the Others, aud then devoted
all its energies and abilities to
celebrating a system under which
: the most work could be. squeezed

amount of money.

SALTWATER FANDANCO.
War Between the Piutes and she's homes
Almost Inc sifahle.

Prince Naches, heir apparent to the
Piute throne, returned yesterday from
the great Indian fandango at Saltwater,
Churchill county. He says that 450
Piutes from different parts of the State
attended the dance. The Austin Putes
complained that they were being out
rageously treated by the Shoshones, who
outnumbered them as three to one at
that place. The Shoshones attribute
all the misdeeds OF the Indians to the
Piutes, and To-to-aw, the Shoshone
chief ordered the Piutes, whom they
look upon as intruders on their domain,
to leave Austin and vicinity. A coun-
ell OF the prominent men of the Plute
tribe decided, if this order was not
countermanded at once, to muster their
forces and march to Austin to punish
To- to-aw. Before the settlement of
Nevada by the whites the Western

gagements by the Piutes, who were then,
as now, the most numerous and power
full. of the two tribes. The victors held
the vanquished in subsection and wonld
not permit them to own gun or a
horse. II the Piutes found Shoshone
with gun of any kind they disarmed
him, and no Shoshone west of the Goose
Creek mountains was permitted to have
a horse. Since the whites came here
these restrictions have been modified,
but Naches declares that they will be
again enforced unless the Austin Sho-
shones behave themselves.

where Is the Property or the C0nquest
tiiII and Mining Company?

The New York Mining Record says:
The Conquest Mill and Mining Company
have recently been organized in that
city with the following well known
businessmen as officers: Sheridan Shook,
President; Hon. A. j. Dittenhoefer,
Vice President; Wm.A. Darling, Treas
urer and James B. Morey, Secretary.
The Company's property is located
in Humboldt county, Nevada, and has
been successfully worked since 1872.
With the present limited milling ia
cilities Ia five-stamp MILL the property
shows daily surplus above all expenses.
1t is the purpose of the Company to i'm
mediately increase the milling capacity
and place the property upon the list of
dividend paying mines; from the extern
sive developments made, this course
seems an ordinary business necessity.
The management propose to conduct
the affairs OF the company upon iegll-
mate business principles, and to be con-
sentative in every particular. The Of
flee OF the Company is at ll5 Broadway,
Room "a.
The Record ought to have been more
explicit and stated what the CompaDy's
property consists of. We know of NO
mine in this county that corresponds
with the description given, in any re-
spect, except what is known here as
the Black Hawk mine, six or seven
miles south of Unionville, on which a
five-stamp mill was erected year or
two ago.

Supposed 80 be DeraDgcd.

A man named George Hauser, wit
ness against Schalata, the alleged
counterfeiter, has been at work for
some time at Kesler's Brewery. Last
evening, without provocation or saying
a word, he struck George Berger, who
has charge Of the brewery, blow with
aclub, while the latter was at work in
the beer cellar. Berger. whose back
was turned to Hauser at the time he
was struck, thinks the blow was aimed
at his head. He turned Hauser, who
he thinks is partially deranged, over to
the Sheriff, who locked him up for safe
keeping.

LOCAL INTELLICEN CE.
THE AUSTRALIAN EXHIBITION.
Commissioners ON Their Way TO the
Great show.

Among the passengers on last eve
ning's train were DIR. G.. &. Cox, Of
Washington, United States Commits
sioner, and Sir Henry Garnet, British
Commissioner to the great Inter
national Exhibition, which is to be
held in Australia in October, which, in
that country, where the seasons are the
reverse Ct ours, is Spring time. DR..
Cox is what Justice of the Peace, who
held court on the Humboldt in early
DAYS, called an "absquandarary debtor. !"
He owed everybody who would trust
him at Washington, and, when he was
packing his traps to leave that city for
the other side of the globe, his baggage
AMI his person were attached by his un-
feeling creditors. As the steamer sails
from San Francisco for Australian ports
in a few days, he effected some sort of
a compromise with his creditors, and
was permitted to leave the District of
Columbia. 1t is whispered that Hayes
has made up his mind to revoke the
Doctors commission, and, that when
he arrives at San Francisco, he will be
notified that his valuable services have
been dispensed with This rumor is
probably unfounded, and he may be
allowed to depart as the Representative
of the United States to the World s
Fair at the Antipodes.

No Demonstration Made Yesterday.

NO REORGANIZATION 1auc hesscFuay'
The Mechanics Unions of Storey,
Lyon and Ornsby counties issued an
order that no mechanic or engineer.
who was not member of the Union,
would be permitted to ply his vocation
in these counties on or after the first
day OF August. Tom Clarke, an engi-
neer on the V. & T. Railroad, refused
to join the Union, and it was expected
that trouble would grow out of his re-
fusal Yesterday. He made his usual
trip from Reno to Virginia City, how
ever, and the Union made no demon
stration whatever United States Mar
shall Ash, Governor Kinkead and some
thirty special officials, all armed, got
on the train at Carson, and when it ar
rived at Virginia City 1000 people
were on the, platform. A committee
appointed by the Union to notify
Clarke, were arrested upon two
charges: conspiracy to interfere with
trade and commerce and an attempt to
compel citizen to act against his will.
They were admitted to bail in the sum
of $1,000 each. Mr.. Yerington has
notified all engineers in the employ of
the V. 4 T. r. Il. to withdraw from
the Mechanics Union. The Ormsby
members have refused to do so.

Ore from the Ohio Mine.

V. J. Hopkins's teams are on the way
here loaded with ore from the Ohio
mine in Rebel Creek District for ship
ment to Salt Lake. The Ohio ledge,
which is situated near Snaps Station
on the Idaho road, was discovered last
spring. 1t has been developed to some
extent by a shaft, and is said to be
large, rich and well defined. Samples
OF the ore have assayed from $500 to
$1,000 in silver per ton; but it is
scarcely possible that all the ore is as
rich as these samples.
