That Horse stealing Case.

A week or two ago a man named
Gldey, who has resided in Paradise
valley for several years, and had the
reputation of being an honest man, was
found by Deputy Sheriff Morse asleep
in the willows below Spring City with
u horse, which did not belong to him,
tied close by him. The officer arrested
him on charge of horse stealing, and
brought him here for trial. He was
taken before Justice Osborn and, he
having pleaded guilty to the charge,
admitting that he took the horse while
under the influence of liquor, was
fined Si5. Some fault has been found
by Paradise people with the action OF
the Justice, for the reason that they
supposed the offense felony, punish
able by imprisonment in the State
Prison. They think that Gildey ought
to have been held to answer before the
Grand Jury; but the evidence at the
trial showed that the horse was not
worth $50, therefore the ofense was
petit larceny, and the Justice bad full
jurisdiction in the case. Had the evil
dence showed that the horse was worth
over $50, and that the offense was
grand larceny, it would have been the
duty of the Justice to hold Gildey to
await the action of the Grand jury,
and undoubtedly he would have per-
formed that duty; but, as it was, he
had full jurisdiction in the case, and
acted accordingly,

william II. Chandler ON the Presf-
Dental Question.

William 4. Chandler, who has the
reputation of being one of the shrewd-
est and sharpest lawyers and politicians
in New England, not excepting Ben
Butler, has been interviewed at Eureka.
The Sentinel says he belongs to that
class of men who improve upon ac-i
quaintance. Concerning the next Pres
idential election and the candidates, he
is reported as saying:
1t is, of course, too early to definite
ly foreten what may occur, or what
new issues may arise before the as
sembling of the Conventions OF the two
parties, or the opening OF the Pfesi-
dental campaign, and it is still more
difficult to say who will be the nominee
of the Republicans. In my estimation,
the fight will be between Blaine, Sher-
man and Grant, with the chances de-
cidedly in favor of the former. Grant
will never 60 into the Convention I'M
less positive of securing the nomination,
and going through with a rush. He
will never take the chances of de-
feat, nor could lie afford to. Sherman
is undoubtedly strong in some quarters,
and the success of his resumption
scheme has helped. him, but in square
fight between him and Blaine the latter
would walk off with the prize. Nor IS
it likely there will be clark horse. "
The Republican party have had enough
of that. The man who receives the
next nomination will be Of pronounced
Republican ideas, and will advocate
and carry out Republican principles.
In order to secure the election OF the
Republican candidate one of two things
is necessary. Either we must carry
New York or one of the Southern
States. Admitting, for the sake of
argument, that the South casts it's 1873
votes soIidIy for the Democratic nomi-
nee, it would only require the 35 votes
of New York and the Is of Indiana to
elect him, with three to spare, 80 it
would be necessary for the Republicans
to secure four votes from the South.
A strong fight will be made for North
Carolina, Florida, Louisiana, and per-
haps one or two other States. with every
prospect OF carrying them, and have
little doubt but that we shalt carry
New York. no difference who the Demo-
Gratis may nominate.
Tilden is unquestionably the strong
est man the Democrats could place at
the head of the ticket. He would carry
as many Southern States as any mas
they could nominate, and would make
better fight in New York than any
other man. 1t is more than possible
that he may receive the nomination.
He is a man of tireless energy. fertile
resources, unlimited means, and if he
goes into the fight with his old-time
vipor will win the nomination.
The election will undoubtedly be a
a close one, and it is not improbable
that a single vote may decide it. as in
1876.

LOCAL INTELLIGEN CE.
AvReno Man Arrested fer watch
Stealing.

Sheriff Miller, received a dispatch
from Reno this morning to arrest one
James Fleming, alias "The Emigrant, "
who is accused OF stealing watch at
that place. Deputy Sheriff Pryor found
his man in bed, and when he got his
clothes on he rushed out doors, and
being fleet of foot, turned the corner
near Hofrnans store and ran like a
quarter horse toward the race track.
The officer called on him to stop, which
he refused to do, and shot sent
as q messenger after him had noeffect,
except to accelerate his speed. He ran
about mile through back streets
and alleys closely pursued by the officers
and large crowd of people, some
on foot and others in wagons, and at
last, finding escape impossible, sur
rendered Internationally to Deputy
Sheriff Davidson, and was taken to Jail

THE SALMON RIVER COUNTRY.
what Colonel Bernard, the Indian
Fighter, says OF ID.


Colonel r. F.. Bernard. who~earned
much praise as an Indian fighter in the
Bannock war year ago, is now hunts
ing the Sheep-eaters in the Salmon river
country. Under date of July 10th he
writes to the Boise Statesman as fol-
lows +:
"This country is made of streams
and mountains. All, except the streams,
are set on edge, causing traveller to go
over two sides of it instead of one. We
have seen many good looking quartz
leads, many of them have free gold in
them. 1t seems to be perfect harem
for prospectors. We have gone over
much country that no white man ever
saw before. Parties coming into this
country should be well armed to keep
away the bear, elk, moose, deer, noun.
tain sheep and goats. They might pos
sibly have use for their arms to keep
away the Sheep-eaters.
The Colonel will leave the Middle
Pork Immediately and go by way OF
Bear valley, striking over from the
head of the valley, to the east fork OF
the South Fork of Salmon, down the
east fork and over to the South Fork
The Indians are som ewhere on that side,
but it is not known that Captain Cally
with his mounted infantry has been
able to locate them. There is no way
OF communicating between the two COM
mands. On an air line it is not much
over so miles frora the Middle Fork to
the South Fork, but the country is so
wild and rough no one can pass directly
over with an animal, and you have to
90 at least l5O miles around south or
north to get over 1t is altogether pro-
bable that the Indians are on foot and
will hide and fly from place to place and
occasionally strike some prospecting
party or lonely settler, with a good
chance for evading the troops all sum-
mer. 1t is the widest country on this
coast and as good hiding places as the
Medoc lava beds, with the advantage OF
plenty of game and fish to live on.

The Contingent in Maine.
THE vILLANY PROBABLY CoNsUMMATE

THE vILLANY PROBABLY CONSUMMATED.
Dispatches from Augusta, Me-, assert
that count has been made by the gov
ernOr and council of the election re-
turns, which will result in delivering
certificates Tuesday to enough demo-
Gratis to give that party majority of
both branches of the Legislature. There
is great feeling among the republicans
over this condition of affairs. A Boston
Advertiser dispatch from Augusta says
1.-THE republican majority in both
branches of the Legislature has been
have been counted down from 80 to So,
and the democrats counted up from 81
to 70. 1t is claimed that this was done
on technicalities and informalities in
the returns. The, Senate under the count
will have a democratic majority of 8,
there being under the count 20 demo-
cratic senators and ii republican sena-
tors. The governor and council count
out three senators from Cumberland
county, one each from York, Lincoln
Washington, and two from AndrOscOg-
gin. The democrats will have a majori-
ty large enough in the House to give IL
quorum, if none of the republicans
should appear and take their seats.
They have thrown out republican repre-
sentatives from Portland, Bath, Sacco,
Rock land and Lewiston and other towns
enough to make vacancies in IA repIe
sentative districts"
The Republicans special Washington
correspondent says: 1.-The news that
the Maine democrats had carried out
their conspiracy to steal the state from
the republicans has been pretty tho
roughly discounted, but still makes
quite stir. The Maine delegation are
not fully agreed as to the republican
policy. Senator Hamlin says the peo
pie of Maine will not consent to the in
auguration of government thus foist-
ed upon them, and Representative Reed
has expressed the opinion that the re-
publicans wouldn't submit to it; but
Mr.. Frye says he doesn't see what they
can do about it, and that is the general
opinion among outsiders"

Our Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. ID.
Senator Window has very appropri-
ately been placed upon the sub-eom-
mittee on railroads to have charge OF
the bill extending the time for the
completion of the Northern Pacific
formed on the railroad subject in gen
eral, and on this road in particular.
have had very interesting talk with
the Senator. He INDUCES the hope
that it will be completed in few years.
1t will be built with its own resources,
and will pay its way almost as fast as
it lays its rails. The company, he says,
has decided to put its rich lands in the
market for cash to actual settlers, at
the government rates, $3.50 per acre,
and if they do this, no doubt the rush
of emigration that way next year will
exceed anything ever known in the
way of an amount of population.
Mr. Shelley of Alabama has presented
resolutions of inquiry as to what caus-
ed the present negro exodus, whereup-
on newspaper writer aptly remarks,
"The man who is used more, perhaps,
to bulldOzing than any other member
of the House, cOOlly demands an in
vestigatiOn of the causes of the exodus,
and says the negroes are induced to
leave their homes by false representa-
TONS The chief of the false repre-
sensations which led to the exodus now
expected from Mr.. Shelley's own dis
trict is that which Mr.. Shelley himself
embodies," and it may be added that
all the inquiries and agitation the Dem
ocrats can get up will result in helping
along the exodus.
Annoyed at the nearness of the
Christmas holidays, and their own tar
diness in getting to work, the Demo-
cratic appropriation committee perfect
ed two unimportant bills and had them
passed the other day. This was sim
ply to supplement their work of fore
ing through a resolution to take a re-
cess from the 10Th of this month to
January 9th.
The response to Senator Blaine's an
nouncement against returning the
greenbacks at present is favorable, al
most unanimous, in the Republican
ranks here.
The Democratic method of economic
ing on paper and being extravagant af-
forwards is liable to be shown up short
ly. They pretended to cut down the
cost of long mail routes, but after the
contracts were made, wherever they
can find democratic friend to favor,
they vote to increase the service, but
do not forget to increase the pay many
fold more. 1t has been discovered that
certain routes have been thus doctOred
by slippery legislators to the tune of
about one hundred thousand dollars.
Democratic ecOnomizers are queer
specimens. HOWARD.

Fearful Railroad Accident.
THREE MEN KILLED,

A terrible accident occurred SATURDAY.
evening on the Addison railroad, nell
Lar1 abee's Point, causing the death OF
the engineer of the train, Oren p. Stin-
son, fireman, Ed. Markham and d. f.
5. Lyman, bridge tender at Larrabee's.
The train, conductor Samuel Whitney
in charge, left Rutland in the afternoon
for TiconderOga, N. Y, as usual.
About 100 rods from the east end of the
lake bridge at Larrabee's Point is a
short curve, and the shock caused by
the locomotive striking the curve, it is
supposed, carried completely away
about 90 feet of the track. 1t is claim
ed 10y roadmaster Homer that the loco
motive climbed the track, causing the
accident. The locomotive (the Rock
lngham) rolled down Il clay embank-
ment about so feet high, turning over
three times. The tender was separated
from the engine and lodged bottom
side up with the trucks broken off.
The train was mixed freight and pas
senger. Two or three freight cars fol-
lowed the locomotive down the en-
bankment, but were not much dam
aged, while one freight and the passep-
ger car remained on the track, none of
the occupants of the latter being in
jured. A wrecking train went to the
scene that night and recovered the
bodies of the dead. The body of Stin-
son was found in the ruins of his cab,
badly mangled, the head being crushed
flat. Lyman's body was found with
StinsOn's. Markham's body lay half
way up the bank, considerably crushed
and scalded, the locomotive having
gone over him in its first revolution.
StinsOn and fireman Markham
lived at Leicester Junction, the latter
with his parents. Lyman leaves a
family in Rutland. He had charge of
the draw-bridge across the lake, and
had been to Rutland for supplies. At
ter riding in the passenger car to Or
well, the last station before the acct
dent, he there got GU the locomotive to
be at his post when the train reached
the draw bridge. A second train went
from Rutland Sunday, and repaired
and cleared the track ready for the
passage of trains on Monday. Mark
ham was about 20 years old, and had
been fireman only two weeks. Lyman
