IN THE CRIMINAL COURT, yesterday,
the proceedings in the case of the United
States VS.. Dorsey ct al. were, perhaps, the
most extraordinary that have ever been
known in American jurisprudence.
Ten days ago the prosecution asked for
a delay ON account of the absence of John
w. Dorsey, and, although the defendants
present announced themselves ready to go
to trial, the Court granted postponement
until yesterday, when Mr.. Merrick, unat-
tended by any of his associate counsel,
came into court and made an ostentatious
display of having return of not found
made by the Marshal ON the bench-war-
rant issued for John w. Dorsey, evidently
preliminary to ag ain asking continuance
on account Of his absence but at that
moment Mr. John w. Dorsey appeared and
entered his plea of not guilty.
Then Mr.. Merrick stated to the Court
that the Government was ready for trial
but was proceeding before the Grand Jury
to procure an indictment against Rerdell,
as to whom the pending indictment had
been quashed. He stated that the Gov
enment's witnesses were here, and that
the Government did not ask for con-
rinuance; but he submitted to tho Court
whether it would not order a continuance
until the result of the proceeding before
the Grand Jury against Rerdell could be
known.
The counsel for the defense insisted upon
trial, but Judge Wylie took it upon him
self over the objection of the defense, aud
when the Government did not have the
effrontery TO ask it, to postpone the trial un.
til Thursday of next week.
This performance filled everybody with
amazement. Mr.. Cooley, one of the most
eminent of the law writers Of this day,
says:
"When person charged with crime is
willing to proceed at once to trial, no delay
on the part Of the prosecution is reasonable
except only that which is necessary for tho
proper preparation, and to secure the at.
tendance of witnesses"
In this case the prosecution announced
readiness TO 60 to trial-told the Court that
its witnesses were present-the defense de-
manded trial, and yet the Court post.
poned the case as above stated, and for no
reason other than that an indictment is be-
ing sought against Rerdell. Comment upon
this is unnecessary. 1t is amazing that
such administration of the law should occur
ia the Capital Of this country, and is ex-
cecdingly suggestive of the question
whether another department. of the Gov
orninent should not begin to inquire
whether legislation or some other action ID
moi necessary to secure a reasonably decent
adnfinistration Of the law In this District.

THE story in circulation on Newspaper
Row that Nordhoff's fee from the whisky
ring was s., 600 contingent on the success
of the bill, is probably untrue. Nordhof'
does not do business that way. His fee is
much more likely to have been $4,000 cash
than $1,000 contingent. Nordhof never
takes a contingency except on sure thing.

ANYONE casually reading the report of
Lieutenant f. V. Greene on street lighting
would suppose that the lamps of New York
cost nearly as much as those of Washington.
Perhaps it was the intention to convey that
idea, but whether so or not, it is not true.
Our lamps are lit a total of 1920 hours
during the year, at a cost Of $25 each that
is, i and 14.100 cents per hour. The lamps
in New York are lit total of 1000 hours,
at a cost of $20.55 each, which is total of
one.half a cent per hour.
But that is not all the difference. Our
lamps burn gas of sixteen candle power.
candle-power gas, so that if the same
quality of gas was used the cost of the New
York lamp would be reduced more than
one-third and the rate per hour would be
only three-tenths Of a cent per hour-that
is, one.third what ours cost.
A Washington street-lamp burning one
hundred hours costs $1.14. A New York
lamp burning the same time costs SO cents,
but furnishes gas more than one-third bet
ter than ours, the difference being as 16 to
%. If the New York lamps gas was only
equal to ours the cost would be only 80
cents.
The difference in cost to private consum.
ers is about the same. Coal costs more in
New York than it does in Washington.
Here is proof positive to the Senate Com
mittee on Appropriations, now having the
District bill in charge, that the price of gas
can be reduced one-half, and good profit
left to the monopoly, for the New York gas
companies are not furnishing light for the
fun of the thing,

THE RUMoR that John Carsons fee in

got through or not. Johns property is in
our part of town and we naturally like to
see improvements going on. But if Johns
fee is contingent, as The rumor goes, we
despair. The bill may be considered busted.
Beck himself admits that privately. Poor

BULLIoNvILLE, Feb. 10, 1882.

BULLIoNvILLE, Feb. 10, 1882.
Mr.. RECORD: Some months ago i APP
piled to you for advice in regard to my
matrimonial troubles. 1t is true you ad-
vised me then what to do, but l thought
at the time that your plan of blood
atoning the old man and marrying the
old woman, ETC., was little too ventur-
some procedure for an inexperienced
hand like myself to undertake. If had
served an apprenticeship under Bill Hick-
man, Port Rockwell or Apostle Snow, !
might not hesitate in ayailing myself of
your valuable suggestion. But the fact
is was raised in a Christian community
and consequently am law-abiding man,
who wishes to do unto others as | wish
to be done by, and therefore incapable of
the shedding of innocent blood, But
apart from those conscientious scruples, |
think am gifted with manly attractions
enough to meet the requirements of any
manageable inclined young lady who
may stand in need of a good home, true
heart and loving and sympathetic help
mate through life's thorny pathway. |
am good tradesman and can always
command the highest wages paid for
skilled labor, beside l have considerable
property in different parts of the State,
some of which in the near future will net
me handsome income. 1t is very true
am little advanced in years, being AZ
the 25th of this month, but that instead
of being a drawback ought to enhance
my chances with any sensible woman
with manageable daughter or two.
The fact of the matter is, am solid
enough with the young girls of the Stake
and-between you and me-could have
my choice of any one of them in the
morning, if the old folks were willing,
but they are not, and will not even allow
me to call on the girls, much less take
them to any place of amusement. Hoping
that you will take pity on stranger and
kindly suggest some practicable way
whereby can gain the confidence of the
old folks without blood-atoning them.
| l remain, unfortunately,

MINING LEGISLATION.

Congressman Cassidy has introduced
bill to establish bureau of mines and
mining, the text of which is as follows:
That bureau to be known as the
Bureau of Mines and Mining, be estab-
lshed in the Department of the Interior,
and connected with the Geological Survey
heretofore provided for by law. The
purpose and object Of said Bureau shall

nation respecting the mines and mining
operations of the United States, and to
report such statistics and information
annually, through the Secretary of the
Interior, to Congress, for use and dis
semination. There shall be at the head
of said Bureau one chief, who shall be

BRISTOL 5. NJ. COMPANY. The yield |
of the mill for the past month was $751;
600. Owing 10 the lack of drying facili-
ties the mill was only kept running from

week, in order to make necessary repairs.
The company held an election of officers
at Minneapolis, Minnesota, OH Wednes-
day. and Notwithstanding that Supt. Roe
has been waiting in town since Monday
to learn the result, no dispatch has been
received up to date.
MINING DECISION. The United States
Supreme Court at the October term of
1881 decided that relocation of a min.
ing claim made prior to the time when
forfeiture occurs-by reason of failure to
make the required annual expenditures
is invalid, and does not become valid
by the original claimants failure to sub.
sequently do the annual work within the
period required"

THANKS. Bullionville Social Clul

BULLIONvILLE AND PANAcA DOTS

We learn that the people of Panaca are
dissatisfied with their school teacher,
from the fact that the children cannot
readily understand his English lingo.
Notwithstanding the vast number of
tons of tailings that have been taken from
the pit of the Raymond & Ely, person
will scarcely notice the little dent that it
has caused.
The weather at Bullionville during the
past week has been all that could be de-
sired, old Sol shedding his rays with all
the vigor and warmth that characterizes
his appearance in far-southern climes.
The Bullionville Smelling Company
not long since discovered several hundred
tons of tailings that assay from thirty to
forty per cent. in lead. The action of
the elements have been slowly concen-
trating them during the past eight years.
We missed from our dance of Wednes.
day evening last at Social Hall some of
the young and blooming maidens of the
village; but, considering the small at
tendance of thealadies, the dance was a
success, and nothing occurred to mar the
pleasures of the evening.
A st. Valentines Ball will be given
at Social Hall, Panaca, on Tuesday even
ing, the l4th instant, by the young men
of Bullionville. We understand that it
is going to be an invitation dance, and
from the many preparations that are be-
ing made, and the interest taken by the
young bloods, we presume it will be very
grand.
There is very little difference between
love at sixteen and seventy. The fact
was impressed on our mind few days
ago by seeing an assortment of pie and
cake that was received by an old.time
Bullionite from his seventy. year.old
sweetheart down the valley.
While basking in the warm sun of the
past week at Bullionville we were forci.
bly, reminded of days spent in such way
beneath the adobe walls of tropical Mex.
leo, where, far removed from the hurry
and hustle of the enterprising Yanks,
we were wont to give our undivided at
tention to the all-absorbing game of
"coon can" with the bewitchingly co.
quetish black-eyed senorettes of that
country.
The coming st. Valentines Ball to be
given at Social Hall by the Bullionites is
the main topic of conversation here in
this locality, and if we are to judge by
the many preparations that are being
made of an artistic nature in the shape
of fancy ball dresses, etc.-by the young
ladies of Panaca, we predict for the lovers
of the beautiful gorgeous sight.
