GRANTS FOLLY.

General Grant has been talking in a very
foolish and indecent way to reporter
about the Conkling matter. OF course he
thinks Conkling is altogether in the right,
and he may have the proud consciousness.
in this, of knowing that he holds diamet-
rically opposite opinion to that of three
fourths of the American people But when
he proceeds to intimate that President
Garfield ''insulted" Mr.. Conkling, he
either shows himself to be grossly Ignorant
of the facts. or coarsely determined him.
self to insult President Garfield. We have
never entertained the least respect for
General Grants political views. He made a
very bad President, and he was getting
worse all the time His judgment on mat
ter of this kind is simply what might be
expected from an average 6 machine poll
tician destitute of any higher knowledge
than that of the caucus and the ward. club.
And if he would have acted differently
from President Garfield under similar cir
cumstances, it is merely because under
similar circumstances he would have been
found supporting the machine, in utter
indifference to the requirements of the
country or the tendency of public opinion.
General Grants eulogy upon Conkling, and
his attack upon the Administration, will
neither help his friend nor himself. His
attitude in fact serves only to emphasize
the necessity of stamping out all that
remains of "Grantism. and of supporting
the President against the final assaults OF
that dangerous and demoralizing element.

IDAHO.
Mu1der I'm the First Degree.

BOISE CITY, June 13th.-The case of
Henry Mcdonald, for the murder of George
Myers, has been on trial at Silver City the
past week, and was given to the Jury this
afternoon. The jury were out tifty-tive
minutes, when they returned into Court with
verdict of murder in the first degree. 1t
was one of the most heartless murders ever
committed on this coast. Myers was
freighter en- the overland road for many
years, owned a team of ten mules and two
horses and three freight wagons, and had $500
in money on his person when Nc Donald mur.
dered him on the 2Sth of last September, be-
tween Pilgrim Springs and Salmon Falls,
packed the body about half mile and
burned it, and took the team and went to
freighting with it, claiming that he had
bought the team. He told that Myers had
gone to Oregon, but before the trial came eff
he learned that Myers body had been found,
and then on the trial offered his own evil
dence, and stated that Myers was kicked by
one OF the mules in trying to get into the
front of the wagon, and the wagon run over
and killed him, and that two men came up
Just at that time and made him leave the
body with them, and that be should not say
ANYTHING abou. Myers death, or they would
charge him with the murder of Myers. This

BRADLEY on TEE STAND.

They have been putting Mr.. Bradley on
the witness stand, and have made him tell
several things which are calculated to di-
minish the general belief in his trust.
worthiness. According to his own account
Of himself he appears to have been par
ticularly loose fish in the past, and his
business career seems to have been marked
by episodes of kind which do not occur
in the lives of strictly honest and upright
men. Mr.. Bradley in fact does not give
one at all favorable impression Of his
veracity and probity. and after learning
even this little about his antecedents there
is no difficulty in conceiving that he may
have lied when he said that Senator Ses-
sions bribed him, Certainly il Sessions
knew anything of the mans previous his
tory it is improbable to the last degree
that he should have reposed the slightest
confidence in him. 1t looks now as If Mr..
Bradley would break down.

TIE WINNING OF tbs GRAND pRlx

The winning of the Derby by an Amer
lean horse has been quickly followed by a
similar success on the French turf, ]. r.
Keene's horse Foxhall having won the
Paris Grand Prix very handsomely, and
doubtless TO the astonishment OF the
Frenchmen, who, however, are more ac-
customed than their neighbors across the
channel to be beaten by foreigners in
racing. That the two principal sporting
events In England and France should be
won by American horses in the same year
is indeed remarkable, and it is certain to
give rise to discussion of the American
methods of stock. raising and training.
There is no reason at the present tlme
why horse-training should not be carried

eAMBETTA's REVERSE.

The rejection of the Scrutm lie liste bill
by the French Senate was by no means IN
expected, but tie Gambett;sts seem to
have relied unduly upon a vague notion
that the Senate would shrink from taking
the responsibility of this step. They for
got that the President was fighting
virtually for the existence of his Office,
and that he was certain to employ all his
influence with Senator'S against the scheme
of the great tribune. Gambetta notorious,y
intended to destroy all opposing factions
with the scrtia de Gste, and there can be
little doubt that he would have succeeded
in this. In that event he would have been
the real head of the Government, and
there would have been no more room for
Mr.. Grevy than there was for Napoleon
the First in the constitution of Sieyes.
The question of the scr3ttia de iste will
now have to be determined by the con-
stituencies, and it is impossible to predict
what they will do. The popularity of
Gambetta may quite possibly carry his plan
through in spiteof the President and the SEN
ate, but he viii not be able to control the
machinery of the next election, and there
fore whatever its results may be they will
at least be genuine expressions of the
popular will. 1t does not however appear
very certain that Gambetta is so confident
of the popular verdict. He seems to re.
alize that he has sustained a very serious
reverse, and while his enemies pretend to
believe that it marks the elimination of
his career, and that henceforth he must
descend, his hopes for the future are not,
90 far as can be gathered, particularly san
guine. Bat Gambetta possesses a large
reserve'of energy, and he will soon make
it apparent that he has not given up the
game. The Senate has unquestionably
acted within its prerogative, but never
theless has it produced an awkward rela-
tion between itself and the Assembly. OF
this Gambetta is certain to take advan-
tage, and through it he may be able to
work successfully upon public opinion,
especially in the remoter districts.

Night before last young man residing

whitewashed from head to foot. 1t ap.
pears that few days ago young lady in
the city received through the mail note
from the man that was whitewashed, ask
ing her to meet him at a late hour Of the
night on the railroad track. The lady had
the good sense to show the note to her
brother. in. law, who at once conceived the
idea of teaching the forward young man
lesson. He Immediately sent a note in
reply stating that the assignation was
agreeable. at the hour appointed the
ardent young man strolled up the track
and was than delighted at preceiving
female figure walking down the track to
meet him. Now the I. f. was not the
lady he expected but young boy

as thoroughly informed as those of Eng
land, and since the best English breeds of
horses are almost as accessible here as in
England, the conditions may be said to be
as even and similar as possible. OF course
the fact that two American horses have
won two great races argues nothing for
the general capacity of other American
horses, any more than the result of q prize
fight between an American and an English
man argles anything for the respective
physical prowess of the two nations. 1t is
none the less gratifying, however, that the
American horses have carried away the
honors at Epson and Longchamps, and it
will doubtless give fresh stimulus to
breeding and racing in all three of the
countries interested.

THs LOSS OF THE DoTrERsL.

O'Donovan Rosa is represented as talk
ing in mysterious and suggestive way
about the loss Of the British war vessel
Dotterel. He intimates, i'll fact, that the
explosion which destroyed her was the
work of Irish conspirators of some kind.
OF course it is both easy and safe to make
intimations of this kind in such case, for
nobody knows CT ever can know how the
disaster happened. But we do not believe
that Rossa's statement is anything but
bosh. We suspect him of desiring to claim
for some of his countrymen villainy
which they have not been guilty of. The
destruction of the Dotterel purposely
would have been so stupid, brutal and
purposeless crime that even the craziest
Nihilist would shrink from such a butch
cry. 1t would have been nothing less than
the unmeaning slaughter of two hundred
innocent men, and we are not prepared to
believe that there are any Irishmen capa-
bic of so horrible deed The presump-
tion is that the explosion of the Dotterel
was purely accidental, and we do not be-
lieve that O'Donovan Rosa knows any
more about the matter than we do.

The people of this section are all deeply

day evening in this city, and the prominent
quartz and hydraulic miners of this county,
and of Sierra, Placer and Yuha counties,
have signifed their intention Of being pres

as to the best plan to be adopted regarding
the present situation.
