THE PYRAMID LAKE INDIANS UN-
EASY.

The Reno Journal of Friday has the fol-
lowing statement of certain Indian matters:
We have interviewed several in regard to
the report that I. S. Marshal Ash had or
dered twenty-five cavalry men to drive the
fishermen and whisky sellers from the Indian
reservation at Pyramid Lake. The troops
had not arrived as at first announced, but
were expected yesterday morning at 6 o'clock.
The real cause of the presence OF the troops
seems to be the custom of selling whisky to
the Indians and other lawlessness pri cticCd
by white men. The Indians are very rest
less, and do not like the way affairs are be-
ng carried on. Yesterday morning Nachez,
Captain Jack and another Piute Chief went
West. They refused to be interviewed, and
would give no satisfaction as to their destl-
nation, but knowing ones think they are 60
ing to have a 90 big talk with General Nc
Dowoll, iii re gard to the Pyramid matter,
and also 70 inform him that the Bannocks
and Snakes making elaborate preparations
to 60 on the war path in the Spring. Nachez
has received authentic informal ion that such
is the intention, and being friendly to the
whites, he doubtless is taking this trip to III
form Mcdowell, who has carefully cultivated
friendly relations with Nachez. This chief
has been dissatisfied with Indian affairs for
some time, but has managed to prevent any
general outbreak among his own tribe, though
it is known that Piutes did join the Bannocks
in their outbreak last year, and old Chief
Wnuemuccs is accused of having been a
friend to the warlike ones. The Pyramid al
fair is entirely local, but the general war con-
Germs us all. Unless very decided steps are
taken a general uprising of the Indians may
be expected, and many valuable lives and
much property be lost. Gen. Mcdowell
should use every precau.ion to prevent the
and punish with severity all who do |
take the war path-not forgetting the thiev-
ing agents who by their oppression incite
nearly all of the Indian wars.

SENATORIAL NOMINEES.

The Republicans of the country are to be
congratulated upon the result of the Senate
rial caucuses in Connecticut and Illinois.
Says the telegraph:
Chicago, January IA Joarnal Washing
ton special says: The defeat of General
Hawley in the Republican Senatorial caucus
at Hartford, Connecticut, last night, and the
nomination of o. II. Platt as successor of
Senator Barnum, occasions great surprise here
among Hawley's friends, who have been very
confident that he would pull through. 1t h
been no secret that the Administration was
DESTROYS of Hawley's nomination, although
taking no active part in the contest nor at
tempting to influence the members of the
Legislature. Platt, the nominee, is said by
Connecticut Representatives to be very able
man and one who will stand up boldly for
Republican principles
Madison, Wis. January 1.-THE Republ
can caucus this afternoon took fourteen bal
lots, resulting in no material change from
those of last night. Tonight twenty-one
ballots were taken, after which the caucus
adjourned till Monday evening. The last
ballot (the forty -eighth) stood: Keyes 80,
Carpenter q, Howe %, Sawyer 2, Washburn
1, and c. G. Williams l.
Milwaukee, Wis, January 1.-THE Demo
cratic caucus has nominated Chief Justice
Ryan for the United Sites Senate. The Re
publican caucus has not yet nominated.
Springfield, ILL.,, January 1.-THE Senate
rial contest, which eliminated in caucus to-
night, has been the most exciting and per-
sonal Hon. c. B. Farwell of Chicago has
made direct issue upon the Republicanism
of General Logan, charging that he committed
the party sin of electing Democrat (Senator
D.vis) to the United States Senate two years
ago, when, had he remained steadfast to the
Republican choice, the Republicans would
have elected their man. Logan's canvass has
been vigilant and unceasing. He has used
every art to conciliate his enemies and fasten
his friends. His assistants have been shrewd
and far-seeing politicians He had, however,
an opponent in the shape of Senator Oglesby,
whose expiring term will be filled by the man
to be elected, and had by his conduct two
years ago estranged some others. The result
of the caucus tonight proved that Logan $
work had told and that his popularity is very
decided in spite of the efforts to defeat him.
All the Republicans attend the caucus. The
The anti-Logan faction concentrated on
Oglesby and the vote stood Logan 80, Oglesby
26. Logan was therefore declared the caucus
nominee. 1t will require 1O3 votes to elect.

TERRIBLE FIRE IN NEWeYORK.

New York, January ia fire broke out
yesterday morning at No. so Worth street
and spread rapidly. When first seen it was
on the third floor, and before the fremen could
get fairly to work it spread to 58 Worth
street, and in a short time the buildings right
through to Thomas street we're in a blaze.
The fire, it is said, will cause the suspension
of six or eight small insurance companies.
The block in which the fire occurred was re-
garded as valuable in goods stored there as
any single block in the city. A curious incl
dent of the fire was that its discovery was
caused by the squeaking of terrified rats. The
loss is va-iously estimated at from 81, OOO, 900
to So, 100000.
New York, January 1872 P. H.-Twelve
engines were all the morning throwing
streams of water on the ruins of the fire.

RENENGEFJL DISCRIMINATION
Says yesterdays Reno Jo,rnnI:

Says yesterday Reno Jomtnal:
Washoe County compels the Central Pacific
railroad to pay fair taxation, and nothing
more, upon its property within the county
For this henons crime the railroad does every
thing in its power to retard the town. A
merchant from Utah has given us few figures
which the public will do well to ponder over.
This merchant is able to ship produce from
Utah to California at Il cents per pound,
while to ship the same article to Reno he is
required to pay 8. cents. These figures need
no comment. Certainly they can afford to
lay freight down much cheaper in Reno than
than they Can after carrying it over the heavy
grades of the Sierras. Congress and our
State Legislature should look INTO this thing
and compel common honesty or take the
property from them.

A FROZEN F1sHERY-The recent cold

The Republican thus explains it: The trout

survive more than two or three days. On
Tuesday night the temperature was "a degrees
