REPRESENTATIVE JoYcE on Friday spoke
against 4 reciprocity commercial treaty with
Canada, considering it inimical to American
manufacturing, agricultural and laboring in
teresis, and as, practically, the establishment
of free trade. He cited the repeal of the
treaty of 1854. and the reiterated sentiments
expressed in convention by the people of
Vermont and other New England States
against it as evidence that the country did
not want such Z treaty, and questioned the
right of the President TO conclude COM
mcrcial treaty with any power as in contra
vention Of the Prcrogalves of the House,
whose ri.h, 10 control the tariff cannot be
infringed. lie did not conclude his speech,

QUEEN VICTORIA opened Parliament with
al optimistic speech, prepared, of course, by
her Prime Minister and made her own
by adoption. The campaign of General
Roberts, whose execution In cold blood OF
prisoners of war has excited the ire of con-
siderable portion of the English people, she
commended as having shed additional lus-
ter on British arms: the victory over Ceie-
wayo and the forcihle annexation of the
Transvaal were characterized as an emanci-
patton of that country from depredations.
The Irish troubles were gently touched, and
the sanction Of Parliament is requested for
advances already made beyond the provisions
of existing law, hut no hint was afforded
of any adequate remedy for the causes
which have brought starvation on what ought
TO he one of the richest agricultural countries
of Europe. The present Parliament expires
next Fall by its own limiiation; and Lord
with characteristic shrewdness.
avoids precipitating any issue until he can
discover or invent one upon which he can
appeal TO the country with assurance OF po-
litical success.

The way the current Is setting politically

of the primary elections in the Second As

to the New York Times says the district was

coming State convention. To capture these,
there was the custom house and the immediate
friends of Congressman Van Noorhis. But
the Grant men, which means all outside OF a
limited official clique. being the rank and file
of the party. came 20 the front. Out of 16
wards, the Grant men triumphantly carried
Is. The an,i-Grant people pulled all the
strings they could. They promised Federal
places, and even went so far as TO circulate a
bogus despatch from Albany, promising
places on the canals. 1t was no use. The
Grant men swept everything. Their oppo-
nents. who had been so sure of the district,
were equally astonshed and discounted.
When the district convention met last night
to elect the delegates to Utica, the anti
Grant people were simply nowhere. The
delegates Edward A. Frost, Martin w.
Cooke. Lyman NJ Otis, Charles A. Brady,
and William G. Martens-are stanch Grant
men, one and all.

WHATEVER else Congress may do, there is
one thing certain it will not do; it will not
pass any measure affecting the Presidential
election The question of any contingency,
like that of the election of 1876, will be left
to the decision of the majority in the two
Houses The Democrats say that the Re-
pubicans. when in power, refused 10 enact
such law they now propose TO continue
this policy. regret 10 add that there is a
very strong conviction in many minds that
this is of Sc: purpose TO carry every question
before Democratic majority. There is a
widespread belief that unless the Republican
majorities are so large as to be decisive, the
Presidential election will he Garcelonlzed
into Democratic victory. The Democratic
party has cried fraud so stoutly as partly to
believe it and it is now proposed TO rectlfy
that fraud by another equally important

ROlfe'S Growth.

Grif. Griffith, who took in Bodie in his
recent trip, says it contains about 5000
inhabitants, who support 156 drinking
places, several newspapers and many at
torneys-at-law, without a single church.
Prior to January, 1876, but eighteen claims
were recorded in the district. From that
date until January, 1878, 206 were made,
and the bullion yield amounted to S797 ,022.
During the year 1878, 50, 100, 400 were ex-
tracted, and $50 claims were recorded. In
1879, 374 additional locations have been
made, and the yield is 50, ASS, asa, making
in all 95S recorded locations-very few Of
which have begun to yield-and the gross
bullion yield since 1872, Sc. 3S5, 1856. There
are already erected, exclusive Of the whims
(horse power), "a steam hosting works.
There are erected and in process Of cree
ton. seven quartz mills, containing 1875
stamps. Although several applications
have been made, yet the Standard, Syndi-
cate and Spalding are the only mines cov-
cred by United States patents. The depth
attained $500 feet and permanency of the
ore channels fully warrant the assertion
that the bullion yield will be nearly
doubled In 1880. The future Of the camp
is certainly full Of promise.

HI PUBLIC L


Subjects.
R~EPUTABLE vs.. D-IsREPUTABLE MINES.
From the Bodie Standard.
The Eastern people want facts; the fnan-
ciers want truth. But they will not look
for them in the papers that are compelled
to make insinuations baseless and unsup-
ported by even the frsilest evidence. The
brave and the trustworthy state facts with
out q thought as to the consequences. In
situations are the weapons OF the base and
cowardly.
sHARoN's CANDIDACY.
From the sutro Independent.
Why Mr.. Sharon should seek a ~re-elec-
ton at the hands Of the people of Nevada
is beyond our comprehension. As q
United States Senator he is a failure. In
Washington he is not regarded as a Sena-
tor 30 much as a Pacific Coast millionaire
simply, we suppose because he has shown
no qualifications whatever for the position
he holds.
WHY TILDEN SHOULD BE NOMINATED.
From the Silver State.
1t is not because Tilden is a Democrat
that he ought to be again elected, but to
prove to the world that the American
people love fair play, and are opposed to

lana, Maine or any other State.
APooR RULE, ETC.
From the Virginia Chronicle.
"It's a poor rule that won't work both
ways" saith the proverb. The rules Of
the Supreme Court of Maine are manifestly
Of that kind.
PERTINENT QUESTION.
From the Louisville Journal.
Is the Mr.. Hayes who in 1866 advocated
a measure in Congress to tax United States
bonds one-sixth of their face value, or one
sixth Of the annual interest, the Ruther-
ford B. Hayes who was a member OF Con-
gress in 1866 and is now the occupant Of
Mr.. Tilden's seat in the White House?
The present Prime Minister, Mr. John
Sherman. denounced the measure 1t that
time as a ''breach Of public faith" aad "a
fraud upon our public creditors" II the
Hayes who offered that measure is the
Rutherford B. Hayes who now occupies
Mr.. Tilden's seat in the White House, it
certainly appears that John Sherman vas
the first man to discover that he was q
fraud.

Says the Truckee Republican: The friends
Of All. Chartz are applying for his pardon.
Chartz was convicted OF the murder OF
Conductor Ed. Kicker. and has served out
q portion OF his Rntence. Truckee has
always been arrsyed against Chartz, owing
to the fact that Kicker was for many years
a resident Of this town. OF late, however,
much sympathy is expressed for the con-
demned man. 1t is beginning to be under
stood that Chartz was not nearly so much
at fault, save in the actual commission Of
the deed, as was one Of his friends. 1t is
further understood that many extenuating
circumstance surrounded the crime, which
were not adduced at the trial. The pre-
vioush history of Chartz, his honorable life,
his generous disposition, his nervous tenn
permanent, and the frame Of mind in which
he was at the time of the shooting, all
tend to enlist public sympathy. This SYM
patny is intensified by the sorrow and suf-
fering Of his faithful vile, the mournful
death Of his child. and the agony of mind
which has been endured by the unhappy
prisoner. An exemplary citizen before the
tragic occurrence, his subsequent condnct
warrants the belief that if ~pardoned he
would be an upright and useful man dur
ing the remainder Of his life. All things
considered, Truckee is inclined to join in
the petition for his pardon.

a Description of the Cells to b
Built.

A Description of the Cells TO be
The plan submitted by Mr.. Costerisan
to the Board Of County Commissioner and
by them adopted, provides for the build
ing Of six wrought iron cells in the center
Of the Jail room. The size Of each will be
9 feet 6 inches by feet 9 inches, and
height 7 feet 6 inches. Each cell will be
large enough to hold four prisoners. pro-
vided with four hammocks, secured to
either side by means Of strong straps.
There will be a prisoners corridor on each
side Of the cells, 6 feet wide and 20 feet
long, and the same height OF the cells.
Each corridor will be provided with a
patent water-closet and folding wash
stands. There will be a jailer's corridor
the entire length of the jail room, six feet
in width. The locks will be operated by
means Of levers. All the cell-rooms will
be provided with extra Jail locks, making
them doubly secure. On the front, next
TO the ~jailer's corridor, on the top Of the
cells and doors, will be latticework, made
Of two-inch wide bars, half an inch thick,
we'll riveted at their functions. The bot
tom, sides and front Of the cells will be
boiler plate, o~ne-quarter inch thick, we'll
riveted together. The floor Of the Jail
room will be concrete, and there will also
be a large cesspool outside Of the jail-room
for the reception Of soil and and drainage
from the Jail, which will prove conducive
to the health Of the inmates, and will rem
der the Jail more habitable than at present.
