GENERAL GRANT.

General Ulysses 5. Grant, ex-Presi-
dent of the United. States, will pass
through Winaonpcca some time next
month, on his way East. "0ae who

matter in Communication pTin ted in

der Oh his arrival here. Let the people
act on this, suggestion, aud appoint
committee to give the distinguished
soldier-citzcn an enthusiastic rece pton
upon his arrival in Winnemucca. Ar
rangements can probably be made with
Superintendent Cod,lington, of the
Humboldt Division4of the railroad, to
keep the traipop which General Grant
arrives half an hour at this station, so
that all can have an opportunity OF see-
ing and, perhaps, hearing the man who
materially aided in ending the frati-
eidal war between sections of the
Union, and who was twice elected Pres
ident of the United States by the peo-
pie, without the aid of rascally return
ing boards. or partisan and prejudiced
electoral commissions. Let move be
made in this matter at once, that Hum
boldt-ever noted for it's enthusiastic
reception of distinguished soldiers, or
citizens may not fail on this occasion.

SOUTHERN SENTIMENT,

Two weeks ago sword was pre-
sented to Captain Hager, of the Ala
bama Artillery. The Mobile Register
contains an account of the presentation
and the speech of Captain Hager on ac-
cepting the sword, from which the fol-
lowing is a passage:
"The dreadful struggle of the past is
Bong since ended, and all its. hopes and
sufferings are buried with it, Ii ever
we are called to arms again it will be
under the stars and stripes, which ban
ner we have sworn to protect. In spite
of four years of struggle against that
flag, [ now feel love for it swelling
from my heart, If it had been left to
those who fought on both sides during
the war to settle the terms of peace we
would have never heard. of bloody
chasm or bloody shirt, D"
That appears to be the sentiment of
the ex-Confederate soldiers, whether in
the North or South. Many of them

OF the war waged between man and
beast in India the yearly statistics are
once more published, and it would seem
that during 1878 the slaughter was ter
rible. Nineteen thousand six hundred
and ninety-five people were killed; 40
by elephants, SIG by tigers, 200 by
leapards, So by hears, 56A by wolves.
"a by hyenas, l,lSQ by other wild ami
mails, and 1911 by snakes. Fifty
three thousand cattle, moreover, sue
cumbed in the fight. On the other
side, under stimulus of reward that
amounted to more than fl0, 900, p, sol
wild beasts and l27, 295 snakes have
been killed-a large total in itself, but
small when the losses man and domes-
tic animals have sustained are taken
into consideration

YllE REWARD Fen ARREsTYNG MAIL
ROBBERS.

Some two years ago the Cherry Creek
stage carrying the United States mail
was robbed. A reward of $500 was Of
fered for the arrest of the robbers.
Sheriff Sias, of Eureka, arrested Bell
and Wilson, two Of the robbers, but
Constable Knuckles,. of Cherry Creek,
alleged that he was shadowing them at
the time of, the arrest. Both parties
claimed the,reward and law suit was
the result. The case was appealed to,
the Supreme Court, and that tribunal
has just decided that neither of the Off
GERS is entitled TO the reward The
Court holds thai the robbers were tried
by the United States Courts for an Of
Tense against the United States, thus
relieving the State of Nevada from all
responsibility in the matter.

BABCOCkING AT CARSON.
A serious Change Against the secre.
fary of stale.

The Carson. Valley News has the fol-
lowing, which the Carson City papers
for reasons. best known to. themselves,
haxe not alluded to:
MIR. McFadden, formerly Deputy
Secretary of State, has brought suit
against Secretary Babcock to recover
three hundred and seventy-fye dollars,
a portion of. his salary, which he al,
leges was. withheld by Secretary Bah
cock. The law provides that salary
of three thousand dollars per annum
shall be paid to the Deputy Secretary of
State, aud that the salary may be paid
monthly. McFadden alleges. that,
upon the payment of his salary each
month, he was compelled to return to
Babcock fifty per cent. of it, or one
hundred aud twenty-five, dollars per
month. Ii this matter is as it is rep
resented by McFaddcn, then indeed
are things little crooked in the office
of the Secretary of State, and Score
tary Babcock has committed an. act, to
say the least, unworthy of the position
he holds. The salary of any deputy in
our State Department is Just as sacred as.
is that of his principal, and any head of a
department that would divert one dollar
OF 1T to his own use, or that of any other
person save the deputy himself, under
any circumstances whatever, is desery..
ing of the condemnation of all right
thinking individuals. We hope for the
credit OF Secretary Babcock and the
party placing him in his present position,
that there is some error in this matter
and that the Secretary will be able to
acquit himself OF the charge. From
the present standpoint. however, it ap.
pears that there has been little Bel.
knaping in the Office of the Secretary
Of State"

Nevada (Cal) Transcript
VIM. M. Stewart, ex-senator OF the
State of Nevada, came from San Fran
cisco Sunday and spent portion OF one
dav in town. All our old residents re-
member "Bill." He struck Nevada
CITY FIRST in 1850, having driven an OK
team all the way across the PLAINS to
Get here. He was nothing but boy
then. firing of bullwhaekers lie
soon, he tried mining and maize
failure. He applied to John h. NC
Cornell, lawyer, for the position OF
Office clerk next, and secured 1t be-
cause. as Mac. said, he had more sell
confidence than dozen ordinary young
men rolled together and was bound TO
make high mark in the world.
Having improved his opportunities, IN
1853 or Whereabouts he was admitted TO
the bar after passing credibaole eX-
animation, and became the partner. OF
his. former employer. He was next ap-
pointed Acknowledgement OF the State
to fill an unexpired term of Mr.. Nc
Cornell, and in 1856 marrieda daughter
of Ex-Governor Foote, Of Mississippi,
who was residing here at that time. At
the expiration of his term as Attorney
General he returned to Nevada City,
remained a. short time, then went to
Downieville, Sierra county. The next
heard of him was when he went to the
Comstock at the outbreak OF the
Washoe excitement in 1869. There he
practiced law and dabbled in mining at
the same time. He was elected u. 5.
Senator and built one of the finest resi-
dences, known as "Stewart's Castle,
ever seen or heard of in Washington.
His wife went to London and Paris and
expended tens of thousands Of dollars
in securing the finest adornments that
money could buy for their new palace.
In those days Bill was known as one of
the. money kings of the world. He
went into mining heavier than ever,
when presto, change, his shekels began
to take fight. Everything he touched
in the way Of investment PANIED out
bad, and he got dead broke. He came
back to the Pacific Coast busted" in
pocket but not in pluck and shrewd-
ness. He then became connected with
some mining property which proved
very successful. To-day he is as Iich
as ever, and is adding to his pile every
day. He has big interests in the mines
at Bodie and elsewhere. He says
Nevada City's appearance now throws
that of her former palmy period into
the shade, and that nothing would
satisfy him better than to come back
where he started ragged and bare
footed and spend the remainder of his
days. Ii he can find something here to
keep him busy he may do it. Nevada
county, III his opinion, is excelled by
but one or two mining sections on. the
Coast.

In letter to a friend in the East,
dated San Francisco. September 2Sth,
Grant explicitly says that he approves
all that has been done, towards organ
izing an American company for con-
structing an inter-oceanic canal, and is
ready heartily to cooperate in the
work. 81 approve" he says, "of what
has been done, and if the people of the
United States will take hold of the
Nicaragua route in earnest--the only
practicable route comparatively will
give all the aid in my power. l shall
not start East before the 9th of No

to go east of Chicago before the hell

Indians have no redress against lawless

pfopriations sufficient. Under the posse
comitatus Act the military arm OF the
Government is paralyzed. The whites
seize Indian property and the owner
has only the shadowy hope of recovery
in the Courts As affairs are now, the
Indian has no encouragement to he
thrifty. When his horses and cattle
are big enough, to be of any service
they are driven off in herds by white
desperadoes When his wheat and corn
are almost ready for market, his reser-
walton is changed. Were we to treat
some Of our foreign emigrants in such
manner, it would not take long to turn
them in to prowling vagabonds, living
by robbery and assassination. The Tri-
bune contends that the nation has been
engaged for years in systematic lying,
cheating, thieving and homicide toward
the Indians. 1t says it but voices the
sentiment Of all just and thoughtful
Americans when it places the response
bility upon the ignorance, prejudice and
criminal negligence of the national law
makers.
A serious and painful accident &C.
Cured on the Michigan Central Rail-
road. short distance east of the,Junc
ton, yesterday morning. The Pacific
express train, bound west, which left
Detroit forty minutes late, collided
with switch engine on the main track
at that place, telescoping the baggage
and express cars and piling the remain
ing coaches, eleven in number, on top
of the others. The first coach was.
filled with emigrants most Of whom are
killed or seriously Injured. Many oc-
cupants of the other coaches are also
killed or injured. 1t is supposed that
there are between twenty and thirty
FIVE passengers killed and from twenty
to thirty wounded The majority of
the number are thought to be emigrants
and secondclass passengers.
The silence of Sir Friedrich Roberts
since Monday is believed to imply the
closing in of Ghilfar's in the rear of
his communications He probably re-
newed the fighting on Tuesday, which.
impeded his advance to Cabal. There
has been an interruption of the telegraph
line between Peshawar and Kurrums
This fact points to disturbances having
insulated .Shutargarden. 1t is thought
the position of Sir friedrich Roberts is
rather grave, though there is nothing to
confirm such belief except the absence
of news.

COOPERATIVE STORES.

PRACTICAL RESULT OF THE VISIT or MIR. HoL-
YoAKE TO THIS couNTRY-oRGANizATIoN OF A
Co-OPERATIvE ASSOCIATION.
The visit of Mr. George Jacob Holyoake TO tins
country seems likely to have the effect of stimuat-
ing the establishment of cooperative stores based
substantially on the Rochdale plan. which has
stood the test of thirty years experience in Eng
land, and has proved remarkably successful An
organization called the Union Supply and Mutual
Benefit Cooperative Association has recently
been formed in this city to promote the
formation of branch societies for carrying on such
stores and to act as q central purchasing agency.
The president of this association a. H. Foote. OF
No. 101 Broadway and its board of directors are 4. r.
Fooie +. G. Tuckerman, the Rev. DIR. j. H. Rylance,
A. c. Perry and JAS II. Wbitehorne. The plan of or
ganizaton for the central society aud its branches
has been very carefully worked out and con-
tans some features which, Mr.. Holyoake
sod. after giving 1t thorough examination,
are improvements on the Rochdale pan
be followed: The capital invested In store,
which will be contributed in large part by the
members who sustain il. will first receive diVi-
dend OF per cent per quarter; The surplus then
belongs to the three fac, Ors which nave prOunce9
t-frst, the consumer, who is to receive dividend
in proportion TO the amount OF his purchases
second the laborer who has served both
capital and the consumer, ana thlru,
capitals which requires more than SIMPLE
interest to compensate II for the risks OF business
When the profits are sufficient dividend of l per
cent Will be paid the sales TO members. ON the
wages of employees. and on the capital invested In
this, but II is deemed not equitable. 1t hires
capital at the market price, paying only the interest
stipulated, and EMPLOYS labor on the same principle
All the profits of the stores save the deductions for
educational funds and percentage for accumu-
lating capital, are divided among the members in
proportion to the amount of their purchases.
branch society of the Union Supply and Mutual
Benefit Cooperative Association has already been
organized in Brooklyn for the purpose OF opening
store in Ward Seventeen. The plan of the assoc
ton looks to the establishment of cooperative
store in every ward in New-York and Brooklyn aud
TO the extension of the system throughout the coun-
