lr was said in the preachers meet
ing the other day that clerks use the
early hours to get drunk. That may
happen, it is true, but the privilege
Of this very secular diversion is not
at all restricted to any hour of the
tWenty-four, and speaking hJgien-
ical'y, it is better to get drunk early
than late. A procrastinated drunk
IL also much worse morally than one
promptly contracted and concluded
But If the merchants can stand 5ch
conduct on the part of their en-
ployoes, the preachers can. Besides,
they have committed themselves, en-
high moral grounds, to no interference
with secular matters. They should
carry the resolution out to its far
thest extent, for whatever is sc1iptur-
ally RICH: cannot in the end be logi-
caily wrong. Else it might be good for
them in the interest of temperance to
secure night work for the hundreds Of
young men outside of the statesmen.

End of the su.ro Tunnel Contest.

End of the Sutro Tunnel Contest.
San Francisco, March 15.-The long
contest between the Sutro tunnel COM
pany and the mining companies of the
Comstock lode was finally concluded
this afternoon, when all parties inter
ested gave their adhesion to the art j.
cles of the compromise, which were at
once placed in the hands of the printer
and will be ratified as soon as received
from him. Until then the articles will
not be made public, but it is under
stood they involve mutual concessions.
This settlement will bring the tunnel
into immediate use in the work of
ventilating and draining the mines,
with the practical effect of creating
what may be considered a new surface
nearly eighteen hundred feet below
the groupings of the mines. The tun-
mel will also permit of the use of water
power being used in the mines in
pumping from the lower levels. Before
the full benefit of the tunnel can be
felt considerable work remains to be
done in completing sub-drains, running
lateral drifts, making connections, etc.
This completion will greatly reduce
the cost of working the mines. A
heavy force will be soon put to work
on the sub-drain, and the lateral drifts
will be shortly started.

Judge Rives, in his charge to the grand
jury on the subject of mixed juries and
indictments Of county judges for fail
ure to provide, and it was the duty of
the jury to enforce uniform obedience
and exact universal respect for the
law, said: If this shall be faithfully
and fearlessly done throughout my
whole district it will arrest future re-
sorts of the federal courts for a denial
in this respect of "the equal protection
of the laws " and leave state courts in
full and free exercise of their appropri-
ate jurisdiction. But if this be not
done you will be fomenting further
disorders and conflicts.

Very truly yours,
The Extra Session.

Washington, March 1S.-The pres
ent feeling of the leaders of both par
ties is decidedly in favor of short ses-
sion. The democrats, however, talk as
though they held the helm, and that
the president intends to back down on
the question of not giving his approval
to the repeal of the election laws il in
corporated in the appropriation bill.
The republicans are firm and say there
will be no compromise on this point.
1t is, therefore, probable the session
will be protracted, Notwithstanding the
wishes of the leaders of both parties.

The cameron-oliver Nastiness.

Washington, March 18. In the
Cameron suit to-day, Mrs. Oliver testi-
fed that in the winter Mr.. Cameron
sent for her to come to his parlors at
the Congressional hotel. When she en-
tered. he locked the door and kept her
in the room all night. Cameron said
she was to marry him, and she yielded
to his solicitations. Upon cross-exam-
ination witness said she had lived with
Thos. Marshall Oliver as his wife, and
had two children by him, though he
had wife living. He subsequently
procured divorce from his wife, and
the judge told him it divorced her also.
After the divorce Oliver left, and she
never saw him again. For several
years she was looked upon as divers
wife. The marriage was not lawful be-
cause he had a wife living, when he
married witness, who was young at the
time, and did not know anything about
the former marriage. She had written
to Oliver at several places lately, but
didn't know he was living. At this point
Mr.. Oliver entered the court room, aud
witness said: .That is Mr.. Oliver;
he has changed somewhat, but that is
him. For five years, witness said.
she held herself out as divers wife in
Louisville. He there left her and
went to Lexington, Kentucky, where
he married some one else. The follow
ing letter was then shown to her. and
she admitted the handwriting as hers.
