Economical Candidates for London.

While considering this subject how
would it do to appoint ex-senator
McCreery, Of Kentucky, or Senator
Davis, of Illinois The former on
a salary of $4,000 year saved over
$4,000, and during six years. in the
Senate laid by $4,000. 1t is related
of him that he sat up all night once
upon time playing poker at ten
cent limit. In the morning some
friend asked him how he came out.
"Came out" said he, "why l lost
fifty cents quicker than hell could
scorch feather" Senator Davis,
although a thrice millionaire, Is a
little close in his personal expenses.
During the sitting of the Senate it is
his habit to 60 to Aunt Mary, the pie
woman in the corridor, for his lunch.
Laying his hand on plate of cakes
or apples, he asks: How much are
these 2" 1.-TWO cents" "And these p
laying his hand on another plate.
"Three cents" 80, Mary, you're
too high, too high" Then he will
buy piece OF pie and a glass of
milk, and standing at the counter Che
weighs $50 pounds) he eats his lunch
with tranquility. Another man l
happen to think of at this moment
would make good minister and
lay up money beside-Hayes :

THE FAvORITES.

The Elko Post is of the opinion
that Messrs. Tritle and Woodburn are
the most popular of the possible
candidates for the next United States
Senatorship. In a recent article on
the subject it had the following;
It is yet too early to enter into an
elaborate discussion of the merits
and qualifications of the several pos
sible candidates; but we are conf
IDENTIFY assured, by good authority,
that the question OF the Senatorship
is being quietly agitated by promi-
nent members of the party who feel
deeply interested in its success. 1t
seems to US that at present Messrs.
Tritle and WOODBURY. are the favor
ties, although no reason is assigned
why either of the other gentlemen
named should not stand we'll with the
Republicans of the State. In the
lower house of Congress, during his
first and only term, Mr.. Woodburn
proved his friendship for Nevada
and showed marked ability as legis-
lator. He thereby became very popu-
lar with the masses, who would have
been glad of an opportunity to re-
turn him to Congress. Mr.. Tritle is
q thorough going Republican, an able
man and of proven honesty and in
tegrity. Eight years ago he was de-
feated for the highest Office in the
State, by the senseless, unfounded.
and well-circulated report of his con-
nection with the so-called Back
Ring" which was diligently used by
the opposition as bugabao to
brighten Republicans into voting
against their own ticket. We thought
then, and still think, that Nevada
was great loser in thus defeating a
man of such unioubted honesty and
ability.

GEORGE DAILY AGAIN in
TROUBLE,

George DAILY has again become in
volved in q difficulty with a Work
ingmen's Union. This time it is the
Bodie Miners Union which is the
other party interested in the affair,
and, after some trouble oyer min
ing property claimed by Daily (dur.
ing which John Golf was killed and
others wero wounded) the Union
adopted resolution to hang Daily.
As the latter had been arrested and
taken to Bridgeport, the crowd pro-
ceeded to that place to carry out
their resolution, only to ascertain,
on their arrival there, that he had
escaped to Nevada.
This - the fourth time that this
man Daley has been In conflict with
trade organizations. His first esca-
psde in this line was in San Fran
cisco, several years ago, when he,
with others, succeeded in so break
ing up the Typographical Union
that il has been unable, to this day,
to recover the ground then lost.
His next was IN Virginia City, Ne
vada, about five years ago, when all
the comp0sitors in the newsrOom of
the Enterprise office were compelled
to yield their situation to the "rats,"
or non.U Union men: and bis third
was at Bodie, a few months ago,
with the Mechanics Union. In
these affairs no blood was shed, nor
was any disposition to resort to vio-
lence manifested, and Mr.. Daily,
very properly relying upon the pro-
lection of the legal authorities, es-
capped unframed. This time, how
ever, bloody work has been done,
and George Daily stands accused of
murder. Inasmuch as men who
care for the good opinion Of their
fellow beings are not apt to associate
with alleged murderers, Mr.. Daley's
future success in life must be very
slight, and it IS not likely that he
will be heard of as frequently as
heretofore.

POLITICAL NOTES.

A TIMES correspondent writes from
Washington, under date of the 18th
instant:
There are no "new developments :"
in the Sprague matter here, and the
excitement is dying out. Exaggerated
rumors regarding Senator Conkling's
manner of living here received great
currency through the Democratic and
independent" press, just after the
Rhode Island trouble, and came to
this city to surprise and disgust those
who bad for years known that in fact
the Senator leads quiet and re.
spectacle life here, takes little part
in society affairs, and devotes his
time almost entirely to his official
duties, to very few important law
cases, and to study. The bitterness
with which he is now attacked would
seem to indicate that the Democracy
fear a Conkling "boom " for the
Presidency.

-THE attempted assassination
of DR.. Kalloch by Charles dc Young,
in San Francisco last Saturday, was
. most cowardly affair. DR.. Kali
loch had, it is true, grossly violated
all sentiment of right by publicly
attacking the good name of the fe.
male relatives of the de Youngs, and
for that offense deserved to be Sc
verely dealt with, but it did not JUS
tify the de Youngs in entrapping
the offender into an ambush, and
giving him no chance for his life.
De Young was arrested, but as it is
likely that Kallooh will survive, he
will doubtless escape punishment.

THE most nonsensical thing a
committee ever did is what the Wal
lace Committee has done and is do.
ing. Under Senator Teller that Com
mittee did actually inquire into real
abuses, and took much testimony
showing that a portion of the people
of the United States, living in the
South, were habitually deprived of
their legal rights. That was peril
nent to the original authority and
purpose of the Committee. But SEN
ator Wallace, made Chairman when
the Democrats got possession of the
Senate, has turned the Committee
into an inquest into the Consti-
tutions and laws Of certain States.
The real question is as to the obedi-
ence to laws and the protection of
citizens under those laws. Senator
Wallace may convince the world that
the Northern States have Constitu-
tons and laws in the highest degree
oppressive to private rights, though
no sane man thinks he can, yet he
will not have touched the real ques-
ton at issue.

is meagre, although the Democrats
now concede that Ewing is beaten
and are endeavoring to convince
themselves that the result of that
election will indicate nothing of its
action next year. The opinion is
gaining ground that Fosters majority
will largely exceed 10000. There is
dissatisfaction and distrust in the
Democratic ranks, while the Repub-

praised and unnoticed, while the
commanding General, remaining I'M
scratched by ball or bullets, permits
himself to be made an elephant" to
crafty the ambition Of designing men
who never smelled powder in those
trying conflicts, it is, in our opinion,
shame and reproach, and deep
and damaing insult to every soldiers
memory that rivers of blood cannot
atone for, and what a pity-nay,
what shame it is, that Grant per
mits this public glamour to so blind
his eyes as not to see what he is do
ing. But, as we have said, there is
method as well as motive in this mad
ness. The first motive is purely
mercenary; not so much in Grant as
in the prime movers and "getters up"
of this travelling menagerie, and they
consist Of owners of railroads and
other thoroughfares, hotel keepers,
whiskey and beer vendors, ETC., etc
These all make money by it and that
is all they care about Grant and his
so-called ovations. So each tickle
the other. Grant brings whiskey
buyers, passengers and guests, and
these all come to see the elephant"
The next leading motive on the part
of another class of these "getters up,
is to get up Grant boom, or Juror, in
favor of his nomination for the Pres
idency in June next--it is a part of
the grooming and training of Grant
for that contest-but in this he is
watched severely by the bulldogs of
his own party kennel. This motive
will come to grief before the Repub-
lican convention takes place. There
is too much shoddy in these demon
strations to wear SO long. The ami
mails ears will protrude long ere that.
After these tricksters get done with
Grant ii will be found that the peo-
pie will say, we have had enough of
Grant and he Of us, and will bid him
God speed to hospitable horne in
Galena, by the side of brother Orvil
The intelligent and thinking people
of this country, of all parties, feel and
know that another term of Grant
will sound the death knell of the Re
public and the birth of shoddy
Empire, where Nepotism, corruption,
and greed will rule, and they are not
yet ready to submit to that, Nellie,
as we are told, married into
the English nobility, kin to King
George III, and we opine that moth
ing would so fully satiate the father 8
ambition, as to be the last President
and FIRST Emperor of "Columbia's
happy land" and we suppose he has
been hobnobbing to select his model.
But we have confidence in the peo-
pie. Long live the Republic as
our fathers made it.

A FURIOUS FEMALE.
Murderous Assault of a West
Virginia w ON an ON the AlIeg-
ed Paramolar OTHER H us ba nd.

Pr. PLEASANT, w. VA, Dec. 10
Our town was thrown into a fever of
excitement last night by the attempt
of Mrs. ALI. Sinclair to take the life
of woman Of easy virtue named
Sarah Alexander, a grass widow.
Your reporter visited the scene of
the encounter this morning and elicit
ed the following facts:
Alf Sinclair, the husband of the
wroDged woman, keeps meat shop
on one of the principal streets of the
town. He has, it is charged, been
having clandestine meetings with
Mrs. Alexander, and made range
ments with her to meet him in his
shop at seven O'Clock last night.
She came at the appointed time, and
Mrs. Sinclair had been watching
their maneuvers and saw her 90 into
the shop. She waited for her to come
out, but staying longer than was
deemed prudent for a woman, she,
Mrs. Sinclair, went into the shop.
where she found her husband and
the woman in the back room Of the
shop under very suspicious clrcum-
stances for virtuous people.
She grew furious and grabbed a
large butcher-knife and struck des-
perately at the woman some two or
three times, declaring that she would
kill her now that she had finally
caught her. She cut the woman
severely on the back and other parts
of the body. and was only prevented
from killing her outright by the in
reference of her husband and other
parties. No arrests.
