MIR. Mackay on Beats.
TSan Francisco Post. |

Mr.. Mackay, the horIy-handed miner, who
is endeavoring to pull through the present
hard winter ON an income of about S15 900 a
day, came up to us behind the scenes at the
Bush street theatre the other evening and
gave US the following little personal reminis
cence, which he assured US with tears in his
eyes, had never been printed:
We had been speaking of mining men, and
Mr.. Mackay said: 'Talking of beats, my boy,
those in this country don't compare in skill or
audacity with the Partisan variety. The first
time L visited that city my coming was men,
toned in the French papers, and also the fact
that my apartments had been engaged at the
Hotel Anglais. (Mr. Mackay speaks French
like guide-book-that is, the same kind,)
When | arrived at the station | was, there
fore, not surprised to have fine looking man
walk up ask my name and request me to be
seated in carriage ready to be driven to
hotel. This same person saw to my baggage,
rode upon the box, and escorted me to the no.
tel register, which L signed, my conductor i'll
the meantime carefully holding blotting pad
at the top of the page. When l turned away
he said:
L trust, Mr.. MacEay, you will find the Ho.
tel GIande to your liking
But [ don't wish to stop there L said much
annoyed. 1T is the Hotel Anglais at which L
am expected.
is it poSsible? said the stranger. "A thous-
and pardons. l was not aware you had pre-
terence. How stupid OF me- and quickly re-
alling the coupe, ne transferred myself and
effects to my proper destination"
"Where upon examination you discovered
your trunk had been riied by his accomplic9,
the driver" we said, in tine hope OF heading
him off, for Mac is terribly long-winded, as we
all know.
Nothing of the kind, smarty," continued
Mackay, VINO was beginning to get irritated by
our persistent yawning The baggage was all
right, but six months after that | received
from the pronrietor of the Hotel Grande, the
most terrific bill for five months board, wines
and extras that you ever saw. You see the
rascal had gone back to the hotel, passed him
sell vlf tor me ana lived thereafter on the fat
of the laud-givng wine parties every night.
Whenever the bill would be sent in he would
put it off on some excuse or other, until suS-
picions were excited, when the landlord sent
the register around to the Nevada Bank Agen-
cy and had my signature identified. That
made matters all right again until the fellow
left, when ne actually had the gall to direct
that the bill be sent to my address over here
for collection. Now, what do you think of
that?i
And the wing against which we were dosing
sliding back just then, we picked ourselves up
again, aud saId, ''Strangest thing ever heaId!''
Thereby working the Comstock for two more
Budweisers.

Extracts from Greenback Labor Chroni-
Gle Editorials and Correspondence.

Among other choice matter the Greenback-
Labor Chronicle of January 30 contains ill its
editorial columns the following:
The September and November election re-
turns from Fusion towns will be sent to Gov.
Smith and his Council and certificates will be
given to Fusion representatives to Congress.
This will bring the legality of the Fusion legis-
lature before Congress, If nothing else does,
and the late opinion of the court will be fully
learn whether mob can't steal the State
House, State papers, break down doors and
burst safes with impunity.
The Supreme Court of Maine has done its
best to fasten revolutionary government on
the people of Maine. The question is, will
the people submit? We shall see.
The die is cast and the doom of the Amer-
can republic sealed unless the people rise up
and strike with determination. The history of
our republic ended with the last Presidential
election. The trying ordeal is already come.
All depends upon the martial spirit i'll the
people and their determination to resist fur
ther Entertainments upon their liberties.
The Constitution makes the Senate and
House of Representatives the judges of their
own membership. The Supreme Court has
uSurped that power and assumed to say that
its dictum must determine who are and who
are not legally elected. Will the people sub
NIT to such assumption of dictatorial power;
1t is only one step further TO the Empire.
The latest Jack-O Lantern-The Supreme
Court of Maine Who's AFRAID? We shall see,
and when we see, spot 'em boys, and never be
fooled b. them again.
The following appear among its correspon-
dence:

THE Democratic Brooklyn Eagle says
''The Republicans of Maine are entitled to
the thanks of the entire Union for the cour-
age with which they have acted in this emer-
gency. 1t is not impossible that had their
adversaries been more bellicose they would
have maintained more peaceful tone; but
the fact remains that they have from the
first maintained the front Of men determined
not to submit to fraud. The Maine Repub-
licans have set all other majorities the
needed example of dealing with usurpers as
householders deal with burglars. 1t is use
less to talk peace when all the conditions
upon which peace is worth having are being
violated. There is no attempt in any State
to count out the majority if the knaves un-
derstand that the count is to be followed by
q shooting contest"

Mr.. FRANK FoGG avoids answering the
questions in relation to the B. ?. L., put to
him by the PRESS. He told reporter OF

the Order. He does not repeat that denial
in his own paper. He has had time to
think, and sees the error OF his hasty and
frightened denial.

TIE Era asks, apropos Of the Montgomery
Guards, because a man is a Democrat, or
of Irish lineage, is he to be regarded as not
to be depended upon to defend the honor,
and support the laws of the State? He was
so regarded by some of the Fusionists until
his prompt response to the call Of the lawful
authorities left 10 room in their minds for
doubt of his patriotism.

PAREELL's 5 manner before an audience is
thus described in the Springfield Republi-
cans Boston correspondence: "Parnell is
cold as an iceberg. He evidently commits
his speeches to memory, and he has no ami
nation, no style; his voice is thin, and his
manner awkward; he does not seem to be
in earnest; he does not warm with his
theme; he seems the politician, not the
pleader; he does not sway his audience; he
cools rather than fires its ardor."

NATIONAL Republican: A Congressional
investigation into the Maine imbroglio is the
latest inconsistency proposed by our Bour-
bon lawmakers. As States-rights men they
all agree that the sovereign States shall do
as they independently please in defiance Of
National carbohydrates they please TO
overthrow the usurpation Of the Democracy.
This plastic regard for a fixed governmental
principle, fixed in their platforms and in the
history of their party, is one Of the most
convenient features of modern Democracy.

College Cheers.
New York, Jan. 10, 1880.
[Acta Columbiana.l


Dartmouth's unearthly cry was born, proba-
bly, i'll the mind OF some undergrad who had
heard that his Alma Mater was originally
chartered "for ye instruction and conversion
of ye Indian youth of His Majesty's Province;
and who thought that something aboriginal
would be appropriate. This is the result:
Hnrrah! Hurrah! Hurrah
Wah-HoO-wahi
The second syllable is prolonged indefinitely
in most appalling hoot, and the final WAH
comes out in a sharp stdccdto that is startling
in the extreme. am inclined to think that
the Dartmouth cry must rank first in the sec
ond class of college cheers, although that of
Rutgers may perhaps dispute this claim.
Whiie. however. Dartmouth endeavors to in
spire terror by its yell, Rutgers prefers to ex-
cite mirth:
'Rahi 'kah! 'Rah!
Bow-wow-wowl
A few hundred Rutgers men with good lungs
certainly produce as comic an effect with their
cheer as can well be imagined. 1t is most
sublime yelp.
Racine has punning cheer, the first part of
it being not only the orthodox prelude to all
other cheers, but also part of its own name.
ItgOes
It is quite original aud sounds well In fact,
it is the only western college cheer that de-
serves consideration.
One of the colleges tnat possess an ''initial-
cheer (if may so describe It) is the College
of the City of New York. 1t is not very re-
markable either for ingenuity or euphony, yet
its inventors deserve considerable credit for

FRIEND FoGG AND BLooD:-The war has
commenced. The traitors to civil liberty, led
on by that arch traitor, Jim Blaine, have in
augurated, under cover of opinions of parti-
Zan court, an usurpation of authority and par
tizan rule, which if submitted to by the legally
constituted Legislature of Maine, involves not
only tue liberties of the people of your State,
hut also the liberties of the whole people OF
our entire country.
The question arises, will Governor Smith
hold on and trust the people? Second, will
the people rally to his support? Both of these
factors, Governor and people, must hold to-
gether, and to thus unite them, your campaign
must begin ut once.
Nothing reaches the people like the living
voice, uttered i'll no uncertain sound. You are
right or else you are wrong. L know you are
right. l know in the language of your Sec
retary of State: That no one can afford to
sleep while insurrection and treason triumph.
Let the issue be clearly defined. The laws
of the State have been violated, the consti-
tuition has been trampled upon, fraud
and violence have been resorted to,
the partisan opinion OF the members
of the court upon an assumed statement of
facts has been proclaimed as judicial decision
and the government of the people is threatened
with destruction. 1t is another leaf in the
history of the warfare of wealth against labor,
and unless sternly resisted and defeated will
seal the doom of a liberty-loving people, until,
ceasing to forbear longer they will be CON-
PEELED to purify and regenerate their free ill.,
stitution by a baptism of blood" Therefore
the State of Maine should be canvassed by
able, honest, and patriotic speakers, who shall
educate the common people into the supreme
Importance of immediate resistance to tyrants
no matter under what guise they may obtrude
themselves.
1t was my portion. to fight for the Union.
While l live | snail fight as best can for lib
erty, justice and humanity. Therefore, my
services are at the disposal of your Governor
and State at the shortest notice. II the con-
test should come to the cartridge box. | will,
upon the call of your Governor, furnish a
thousand men, who will do, dare, suffer and
die, that liberty may be the birthright of our
children.
Yours in behalf of the right,
G. w. MADDOX.

THE BLACK LIST.

Here is the list in black letters of the men
who, by an unhappy accident being ID
important official positions, deliberately
abused their trust, perverted the laws which
it was their sworn duty to execute justly and
impartially according to their spirit and in
tent, who sought by wicked trickery to
thwart the will of the people as expressed at
the polls and who not only brought dis
grace upon themselves but smirched the
fair fame of the State whose officials they
unfortunately were. Their names and places
should be known of all men that they
NAV receive the just punishment of being
regarded as infamous by all good citizens
and that the rising generation may learn by
their example the folly Of being wicked.
To this list is appended the names Of such
other men as have taken offices 10 which
they knew they were not elected, and who
become equally guilty by taking advantage
of the vile conduct OF the original malefac-
