LATEST TELEGRAMS.

| New York, Jan 16-The Tribuncs Wash
lnton correspondent says; private letter
received from Chicago to-day by prominent
| officer of the Government, says the friends of
Logan, Oglesby and Farwell have had a con-
terence and have, with @the consent of their
principals, agreed TO unite on ex-Presldent
Grant for the United States Senatorship. The
reason given for this action is that it would
bridge over the pending contest, and that the
election of Grant to the Presidency in 1880
would doubtless be attended by the choice of
Legislature which would not be so divided
up into personal factions as the present
body is.
NOTE. This rumor receives no credit what
ever in Chicago official circles. Lin fact those
in position to know, state that there is abso-
utely no foundation for the above statement

PASSED STRIkING OUT THE WORI
d" WHITE. "

Yesterday the House of Assembly passed
by an unanimous vote, the so-called Mighels
Amendment to the Constitution striking out
the word "white" from our State Constitu-
ton. The preamble to this amendatory res
olution provides that the proposed amend
ment shall not be construed as comforting the
rights of citizenship and suffrage upon any
native of the Chinese Eupire. Now, all that
remains for this amendment to become part
of the original law is for the people, at the
next General Election, to give it their assent
Says Section One of Art. XVI of the Con
stitution.
SECTION l. Any amendment or amend
ments to this Constitution may be proposed
in the Senate or Assembly; and if the same
shall be agreed upon by majority of all the
members elected to each of the two House,
such proposed amendment or amendments
shall be entered on their respective journals,
with yeas and nays taken thereon, and re
ierred to the Legislature then next to be
chosen, and shall be published three months
next preceding the time of making such
choice. And if, in the Legislature next
chosen, as aforesaid, such proposed amend
ment or amendments shall be agreed to by a
majority of all the members elected to each
House, then it shall be the duty of the Legs-
ature to submit the proposed amendment or
amendments to the people, in such manner
and at such time as the Legislature shall pre-
scribe; and if the people shall approve and
ratify such amendment or amendments by
majority of the electors qualified to vote for
members of the Legislature voting thereon,
such amendment or amendments shall become
=, part of the Constitution.

HARD ON THE SETTLERS.

The Silrer State of Tuesday tells of an
order which will work hardship to certain set
tiers, as follows:
In 1867 an order was made by commanding
officer of the Military Division of the Pacific,
reserving strip of land FIVE miles loug and
two miles wide from the junction of the east
and west branches of Quin River, near Camp
McDermit, along the west branch of said
river. The settlers in the vicinity knew of
no west branch of Quin River, and made
ranches and built fences to suit their conven-
fence. Now they are ordered by the military
10 move their fences and houses by the first
OF next April, as the laud is reserved by the
Government for hay ranch. Those having
winter grain sowed on the land will be per-
mitted to return and harvest it, What the
Government wants of hay reservation at
military post which is garrisoned exclusively
by infantry, is one Of those conundrums which
red tape and the heads of departments only
can solve.

THE STATE PRINTING.

A movement has been made in the Legisla-
ture to revive the office of State Printer.
The Legislature of 1877 abolished two ex-
pensive and altogether needless offic State
Printer and State Mneralogist. The late finan
cial officers of the State (Schooling and
Hobart), agree in saying that the abolition of
the State Printers Office Is a saving to the
State of not less than SIS, 900 per annum.
The theory of the existing law is that the
State is entitled to the very best terms it can
make for it's public printing Its printing has
cost this State, first and last, upwards of
$500, 900; and there is yet deficiency due
the late incumbent of the State Printer
office, under the law. We will not enter into
a statement of the preposterous charges incl
dent to the State Printers office as it existed
nor enter into an argument concerning the
dangers of reviving that very useless position;
but, instead, counsel the Legislature to let
the present law have two years trial and
if at the end of that time it is not shown that
the State is greatly benefited by making its
own contracts for printing then do something
either in the direction of renewing the abol-
ished office or toward a reconstruction of the
present Act. In the meantime, nothing is
so dangerous as haste. Let the new arrange
ment have fair trial

BEAR K1LLED.-Says the Lyon County
Times of Wednesday:
William Vance, who lives near the New
York House, about mile and half south
of this city, killed big black bear last Mon
day morn The bear was looking at the house
from the crest of hill, about 200 yards
away Mr.. Vance saw him, took down his
Henry rifle, stepped to the door, and shot
him dead. AS there has been quite heavy
fall of snow i'll the mountains the bears will
be compelled to come to the neighborhood of
the foothill towns for victuals. 1t therefore
behooves all residents of exposed localities to
be on their guard against their possible dep
relations.

Useless and Wicked.

The threatened strike of the mill OPP
eratives at Fall River seems a most i'll
advised movement. We give else
where what is believed to be an impair
tial statement of the case. At a large
meeting of operatives Saturday evening
it was vOted-7S8 to 8-to enter upon
the strike, after giving the mill-owners
ten days notice. The number of OPP
eratives is about $4,000, and their pay
amounts to 100000 a week. Their
wages were reduced Is per cent. on
April |, 1873, with the assurance that
whenever business revived the former
pay should be restored. The operatives
claim that the time for the restoration
of the old rates has come, while the
manufacturers say there has been no
such increase of business and advance
of prices of goods as to warrant an in
crease of pay. The question now is,
which side can hold out the longest. 1t
is the old story of the rich mans pocket
against the poor mans stomach. The
result will be a serious interrup ion of
business, loss of profits to the manufac-
turers, distress among the operatives
from loss of work, general business de-
preston in the community, and pauper-
ism and crime in much greater de-
gree.

A Bad Strike.
THE FALL RIVER sPINNERS VOTE TO
STRIKE.

THE FALL RIVER SPINNERS VOTE TO
STRIKE.
FALL RIVER, June I5.-It is now a
settled thing, unless altogether uneX
pected changes take place, that less
than two weeks hence the doors of all
the mills in Fall River will be closed
and the great army of operatives will
be leading a life of idleness which will
lead to poverty and suffering, if not to
Il condition still more deplorable. The
action of the spinners in secret meeting
last night decided this, and there was a
unanimity in their action which be-
speaks determination if not good judg-
ment. The communication of the man
utacturerS refusing to submit the mat
ter to arbitration they looked upon as a
defiant threat, and the reasons that led
to the declination they overlooked al
together. The fact that fellOw-opera-
tives not concerned in their demand for
increased wages would be debarred
from means of earning a livelihood
seemed to have no place in their DELHI
eratiOns. They unquestionably feel
that the manufacturers have been re-
creant to the assurances of increased
pay when better times came, and they
believe they see in the fact that higher
prices are now paid for manufactured
cotton realization of those better
times. Their grievance, therefore, is
that they receive no material benefit
from this suppOsitious prosperity.
The financial strength which the spin
ners claim to possess with which to
meet the vicissitudes of a long continu-
ed strike in questioned. The strikers
have pledged themselves to self-sup-
port for three weeks without calling
upon the union for support, and it is
claimed that the resources of the union
are sufficient to maintain the strikers
for two months. These resources, how
ever, consist largely of promises of aid,
the fulhllment of which will be neces-
sary to their realization. 1t is not like
ly, indeed, that with a majority of the
strikers there exists a confidence of
ability to hold out for so many weeks
it apparently does net exist with the
other operatives affected or with the
tradespeOple of Fall River, and decid-
eddy not with the manufacturers. 1t
would therefore, appear to a man who
Is neither an operative, tradesman or
manufacturer, that the decision to
strike was made by the spinners in calm
retaliation of the refusal of the manu-
facturers to submit to arbitration rather
than In the expectation of lettering
their condition by obtaining the in
crease demanded. They do not appear
TO have acted in heat, but to have
adopted this mistaken course in the as
