A Nevada County Lake.

A recent visitor to Independence
Lake, which is in the northern part
Of Meadow Lake township, Nevada
county, writes to the Nevada Transcript {:
The lake is 7,O7S feet above the level of
the sea. 1t is st miles long, and varies
from a mile to about half mile in
width. At its head rises range of
mountains, portion of which are still
capped with snow and present beaa-
tiful sight. Fish are plentiful, being
caught at all seasons of the year, although
in larger quantities during the Spring
than at any other time. Trout are
caught in large numbers in the Winter
when the ice is from two to six inches
thick. A wooden box resembling SEN
try-box, six feet high and four feet
wide, with door, is carried on to the
ice, over hole foot square that has
been cut therein. BY using hook and
line, it is no uncommon thing for a per-
son to pull twenty-five fish through the
hole before breakfast

WILL PROBABLY SUIT HIM SELF

President Arthur has received great
deal of volunteer advice as to how he
should run the Presidential Office. And
this advice has generally come from
men not strong in their admiration of
Mr.. Arthur either as Vice President or
President. 1t has frequently been said
that if the new President would retain
the present Cabinet, the one chosen by
his murdered predecessor, government
al affairs would go OIL smoothly; but if
Cabinet changes were made, if, in the
slang of the day, "the machine got con-
troll" then would Arthur's administra-
ton be failure. In this twaddle there
is objectionable arrogance. The new
President is considered by those who
know him best a very clear-headed
man, successful in business, i'm his pro-
fession and as political leader. We
have nothing to say against the present
Cabinet, which may be the best ever
gathered around President. But if
every member of it was out, either by
resignation or by death, some other
equally good men might be selected
from the statesmen of the country.
There is no paucity of Cabinet material
in the United States. There is neither
in running a government nor in any
other business such a class as "indis-
pensables." That which one man does
well can be done equally as well by
some other man. President Arthur
may have no intention of making any
Cabinet changes, but if he has his is
the perfect right to do so. And in
acting as he may consider best for the
country, best for his own official salts
faction, he ought to have immunity
from factional opposition: and ought to
be exempt from captious criticism. On
this subject General MacVeagh, one of
the present Cabinet, is reported in yes
terday's press dispatches as having
said that che recognized to the fullest
the propriety of President Arthur Sc
lecting, as his confidential advisers,
gentlemen who had heretofore sus-
tanned relations, not only of personal
good will, but also of political sympathy
with him. Indeed, he did not think
any administration could be strong if
there was any ground for suspicion or
distrust among its members"

Cabinet Speculations.

New YORK, Sept. 2S.-A Washing
ton special to the Erening Express says
1t seems to be understood here that
Cabinet changes are impending. Blaine
will leave the Cabinet. He has been
asked to remain, but his friends say
that he needs rest and will retire to
private life. Window is anxious to re-
turn to his home. James, it is believed,
will leave to go into the banking bust
ness. He can now see the error he COM
mitted in accepting the portfolio. Can
didates for the various Offices which
will become vacant are springing up on
all sides. Jones, CT Nevada, Arthur's
bosom friend, will be cared for. There
is a rumor on the street that Levi p.
Morton is to be recalled from France
and offered the Secretaryship Of the
Treasury Colonel George Bliss, of your
city, is named for the Attorney Cen
eralship. Bliss has been engaged for
some time in hunting evidence against
the Star-route ring, and he will be a
valuable man in that position. Lincoln,
it is believed, will remain in the War
Department. In all the talk about Cab
met changes, one hears nothing abouta
new Secretary of State. No name is
mentioned for Blaine's place.

maritime nations agreed upon some time ago.
II took effect respecting their vessels Septem-

These rules were good III their day, but the

various changes and progress made in maritime
affairs have rendered alterations Of them need

At present, we believe, the understanding IS

S0r1H AuEEIc4N DIPLOuACK.

Mr. Blaine completes the history Of the re-
cent action OF the State Department i'll regard
to the contest between Chill and Peru
by giving to the public his letters
to Ministers IIur!but and Fitzpatrick, writ
ten after the contradictory performances
of those gentlemen became known in
Washington. These letters make still
plainer the fact, clearly shown by the letters
of instruction furnished the two Ministers when
they sailed for their respective posts Of duty
last summer, that no conflict in their action
was contemplated ~ possible. and that they
were expected 10 forward II satisfactory settle
mcnt of tho quarrel between the two
republics without hurting the feelings or
alternating the friendship of either Their in
discreet utteranccs and acts were evidently
due 70 their utter lack of fitness for the busi
ness of diplomacy.
Both Ministers receive sharp repTimnnds
The death of General Fitzpatrick was of course
not known at the time the letter to him was
written, but its publication is essential to a
knowledge OF the view taken 10y the State De-
partment of his course. which was partisan TO
excess, and calculated to make the Chilians
think the United States did not know its own
mind or was dishonesty ready 10 blow
hot and cold upon the same question from
its mouthpieces at Lima and Santiago.
General IIurlbut il ccnsurcd for nearly every
tiing he has done since hG set foot in Peru.
He is told that he had no business answering
Pierola because he was accredited 10 Cadrron
and had nothing 10 do with a rival Govern
ment; that he had no right to carry
on diplomatic correspondence with Admiral
Lynch the Chilian commander because
he was Minister 10 Peru and not TO
Chill; that he seriously msrcprcscntcI the
part of his instructions only, and omitting the
portion which contemplated ccsslon of terri
tory as n possible necessary result of the war +;
that hs intimatiOn that he was accredited to
CalderOn because CalderOn would not consent
TO n cession of territory was gross bunder
that his telegram to the American Minister 10
the Argentine Republic suggesting that that
Rcpublic send a Minister to Peru was an mex
cusable error, from the fact that IT had the
appearance of seeking to form combination
hostile to Chill and that his negotiations for
n naval station in Peru were inopportnue and
calculated to increase Chilan distrust.
A longer list of grave mistakes was. we
imagine, never laid at the door of
Minister of less than six months
service In fact, everything General Hurbut
has done in Peru seems to be blunder We
should be tempted to ask why he stays at
Lima if we were not informed by Mr.. Blaine's
letter that his functions are practically sus-
rended and placed in the hands Of the special
Jiplomatic commission now on its way to Peru
| and Chill.
