WASHINGTON NOTES.

Washington, Jan. 30.-The Repub-
licun says: Friday last VIM. Nichols
was sent to the senate as postmaster for
Norfolk, Va. This denomination of
Nichols was not made an intentional
act of the president, nor was it known
to the postmaster-general or first as
sistant. Tbs presidents attention
being called to it, the postmaster
general and his first assistant found
that a clerk of the department had pre-
pared the nomination without any au-
thority, and handed it in with others
he had been directed to make out. The
president at once directed the with
drawal of the nomination, not because
he had changed his mind, but because
it was not his act, but only that of
either a very sharp or very dull clerk.
An investigation is to be had.
The supreme court adjourned till the
9th of February, for preparation of
opinions in cases urged.

New York, Jan. 30.-The Evening
Express says: 1t is reported upon good
authority that the Union and Central
Pacific railroad companies are agreed
upon all questions except a to Union
Pacific interests in the Utah Central
road and branches. The Union Pacific
owns a three-fourth interest in that
line. The Central Pacific desires to be
admitted to proprietary partnership in
the road. The Oregon Short line is to
be completed this year to the Wood
River mines in Idaho. 1t is reported
that Gould is taking renewed interest
in Union Pacific stock, that he has in
creased his holdings and that an effort
will soon be made to put the Union
Pacific to 1875.

That south American nuddIs.

Washington, Jan. 3o.-Still much
concern is felt by the president and
Secretary of state over the immediate
result Of Trescott's action in South
America. Up to yesterday no replies
were received from him acknowledging
the receipt Of two kilograms, Jan. Sd
and 4th, which were dispatched 10y way
of Europe, and which were dispatched
to show him tho conplets chsnEs Of
policy that had been adopted by the
president. These telegram were sent
as most urgent matter, and every pre-
caution taken to insure their prompt
forwarding and delivery. The days
succeeding the sending of these tels-
grams were days of grave anxiety. At
the end Of the 4th no reply having been
received, the secretary OF state sought
a personal interview with the Gillian
minister here, to impress upon him an
informal talk. The president had no
policy regarding the pending troubles

fees of the United States impartially,
and in a most friendly spirit toward
both nations, and solely for the purpose
of bringing about peace. Both the
president and secretary Of state after
carefully examining the instructions to
Prescott, were impressed with the be.
lief that il they were executed in the
temper in which they were written, we
were on a threshold of war with Chilli.
They further believed only by prompt
and decided action could the trouble be
avoided. The frank conference with
the Gillian minister was for the pur-
pose of adding a greater certainty to
the desired avoidance of the first stages
of trouble. 1t is not yet certain that
the difficulties have not already arisen
as those portions Of Trescott's last dis
patched not fully deciphered, are Of a
character to create much u%neasiness,
and there will be a great relief here
when it becomes officially known that
Prescott has received and begun the
act under his new instructions.

DID THEY READ?
scoviile Insists That the Jury Read
the Newspaper.
An Allegation Which the Jurors In
dignantiy Deny.


Washington, Jan. 30.-In the GRIM
inal court District Attorney Corkhill
applied to the court Friday for the
hearing of arguments on motion for a
new trial in the case of the Uuited
States against c. J. Guiteau, stating he
was willing to morrow should be as
signed. Scoville called the attention
of the court to the fact that one of the
afldayits in support of the motion had
annexed to it a copy of the Euening
Critic. The allegation was that dur
ing the progress of the trial the paper
had been read by or to the jury. 1t
bore IN the margin what purported to
be the signatures Of four jurors. The
jurors deny that they saw any news
paper, or put their names upon any
newspaper during the time they were
impanelled. This raised the issue of
{ lct which was very important to be de.
TRIMMED and was nc a matter that they
could determine on ex parte afldavits.
The jury admitted that during the
time they were impanelled they gave
their autographs to various persons,
and he thought it might be important
that he should have an opportunity
to cross-examine men in that connec-
ton to determine whether the sigma
lures upon the newspaper we're genuine.
The full names of two of the jurors
were on paper.
District Attorney-"And one OF them
spelled wrong"
Scoville-"All these things show the
propriety of something more than ex
parte afidavits in this matter. I ask
that the jurors be produced in court, or
the court appoint a commission to take
dispositions, and that 1 be allowed to
produce such further testimony as l
think proper as to the genuiness of the
handwriting. AS to the argument for
a new trial, he thought he could be
ready by the latter part of next week,
as all questions he cared about taking
up were as to this newspaper, aud in
respect to newly discovered evidence.

arguments.
The district attorney said he did not
intend the jury should be put on trial.
This newspaper was suspicious on its
face, the gentleman who had filed the
affidavit and who had purloined the
paper, had already been bound over for
forgery in the district. He district
attorney would show the court that
this was a clever attempt at forgery.
He would not agree the jury who had
done their duty so faithfully should be
put upon trial and oath of such a
q man as that placed against them.
The court stated he could only ask
the parties making %afidavits, and
would do so.
Scoville said when forgery was al
legged 1t was a serious matter. The
court suggested the jury be present
Friday and the matter went over.

Chicago, Jan. 30.-The Inter Ocean
interviewed all Guiteau's jurors, and
obtained undisputable proof that they
never had a paper while on the jury,
and that none of them wrote their
names, and that only once was a piece
of newspaper found in their rooms, and
then was delivered to the bailiff. That
they were more carefully guarded and
observed than prisoners; that one
name found in the paper spoken of
in the Guiteau affidavit was misspelled;
that the name of another was written
in German, a thing he never did unless
by special request; that name Of one
appeared who had been unable to handle
a pen on account of nervous affection;
that there was no ink in the rooms
whereas, the writing on the papers was
ink, and that J. W. Guiteau called on
all the jurors and got their names in
autograph albums, and asked the lead
log questions wherein to found his
affidavit.

NEVADA R~EPUBLrCANs.

The press Of Nevada does not take
much stock in the expression of senti.
ment made for them at Washington in
the reported interview Of Mr.. Powning
with the Critic. The interviewed, it
seems, represented but few Of his imme.
date party constituency Of whom he,
perhaps, is, as IN ancient hero said of
himself, major pars. Our Republican
contemporary. the San Francisco Stock
Report. makes these com ments:
The statesman-editor. as he is desig-
mated by the Critic, told the reporter
that the Republicans OF Nevada are
satisfied with Arthur and recognize in
him one Of the best Republicans the coun-
try has ever produced. As the Republic
cans OF Nevada, by the largest kind Of a
majority, have during two Presidential
campaigns been in deadly opposition to the
element Of the Republican party to which
Arthur belongs, his statement must be
taken cum gran0 sails. The majority Of
the Republican party in Nevada is com
posed Of Blaine Republicans; Blaine first,
last and all the time. Blaine is sound on
the Chinese and Silver questions, and the
Nevada Republicans will not be apt to
tackle kindly to Arthur, who is lukewarm
on the former and opposed to the mining
interest on the latter. Mr.. Powning's
taffy to Arthur may do very we'll in Wash
ington. but it will not go down in Nevada.

ORR HOME MINT.

The Carson Mint is now having its
periodical turn of work. In a few
months its doors will again close to re-
main 80 for the balance Of the year.
Thus will history repeat itself and the
intermittent character Of the Carson in
stitution be sustained. Why is Nevada
thus treated, and a Mint capable OF turn
ing into coin all the bullion that is at
present produced in the State kept closed
during the greater part Of every year?
asks our stalwart contemporary, the
Reno Journal. Is it that the cost OF
transporting bullion to our Mint acts as a
barrier to it's constant utilization That
cannot be, as nearly all the bullion pro-
duced in Nevada passes the doors OF the
Carson Mint on its way to San Francisco
or to the East. Is it that the cost to the
Government for running our Mint is
greater than in the other Mlnts OF the
country? No; for it is universally con-
coded that the relative cost of mainten-
ance is far less than that of any OF the
other MINIS. Why, then, are we placed
under a ban and the Government robbed
by the payment of express t~ransporta-
ton to other MINIS, when we have one
in our own midst capable of handling all
of Ncvada's bullion yield? Simply be-
cause of the Ubiquitous and powerful
clique headed by Burchard. Director OF
the MINIS, who are enabled to make vast
sums OF money by having the bullion
shipped to San Francisco. where a plant
tool, in charge of that Mint, RENTS the
governmental charges for parting n re-
filming, which should legally as well as
Justly be exacted. superintendent Craw-
ford of the Carson Mint refused to con-
strue the law relating to the reception OF
bullion as the clique desired, so they
found in San Francisco a willing ex-
ponent of the venal Interpretation which
their rapacity called for and hence the
spasmodic career of our home institution.

follows:
