To FARMERS AND TRUCKERS.

In order to give an answer at once to the
numerous enquiries made at our office as to
whether or not we intend to continue the
packing business at Westminster, we beg
leave to say we will, and further, that whilst
not guaranteeing any set prices, we Will do
our best to maintain those we endeavOred to
establish in our first season and III which we
would have been successful had all parties
adhered to the plan we then announced, viz:
Extra Early June Peas at S1.00 per bushel;
Marrowfat Peas 60 cents per bushel; String
Beans IS cts; Tomatoes p cts. and Corn 5! per
dozen, or IS cts per 100 pounds. All these to
be delivered at our Factory in the best condition
and quality, of which we necessarily must be
the Judges; and those not grading prime to be
taken at price under these, to be determined
by us, so as to do justice as nearly as possible
to the careful grower and all parties concern
ed. Fearing repetition of the troubles OF
last year, occasioned in Il great part by pc
culiar condition of the season, impossible to
be foreseen. which caused all the crops, not
withstanding their being planted at different
periods, to mature at the same time, thus caus-
ing almost an impossible barrier to their being
properly gathered by the growers, we have
determined not to give out half the quantity
of seed planted last year. This will enable us
to take care of considerably greater quanti-
ty from parties who may not desire to plant
especial for our Factory, but independently
of any, and take the market value of their
produce when marketable. TO this class we
desire to say we will make no unfair dis
elimination against them in favor of those
who may plant for our especial use, and have
no doubt of our ability to handle their produce
in reasonable quantities and good condition,
affording them as certain a market at fair
figures for their produce as if they lived in the
vicinity of Baltimore or other large cities.
In conclusion we would particularly warn all
against the peas bearing the purple blossom;
these must be pulled out by the roots as they
destroy. the quality of the others.

more jobs were put through at the recent ses-
sion of Congress than ever before. Hereto
fore jobs were passed in special bills or tack
ed on TO various measures, but at the session
which has just closed they arc buried in the

The Virginia Oyster War.

On Tuesday of last week, Gov. Cameron,
of Virginia, with his staff, 80 infantry, of the
Norfolk City Guards, 30 artilerymen of the
Norfolk Light Artillery Blues, and three
guns, embarked on two steamers and headed
for the mouth of the Potomac. where he
caused a stampede early Wednesday morning
among illegal dredgers and captured one, as
stated in last weeks ADVOCATE. After leav-
ing the Potomac the governor sent one
steamer to Norfolk, and part of his military,
and with the other steamer crossed to the
Eastern Shore of Virginia.
Early Thursday morning the Governor,
Gen Groner, and detachment of infantry
made reconnaissance up Nandau creek, and
during their absence five oyster vessels were
sighted off Pongoteague. Chase was given
and all were captured, as follows: Schooners
Mary Wesley, Capt John W. Die; Rough
and Ready, Capt. Thomas B. Ross Noble
Grand Capt j. r. Sparrow Cornelius Van
derbiIt, Capt Egbert Evans; w. S. Rogers,
Capt L. j. Corban. In all thirty men
were captured. All the vessels belonged to
Onancock, Va. and were captured without
firing Il shot, they having hove to upon the
first signal from the cruiser. They were
towed into Pongoteague creek and anchored
off Hoffman's Landing, small settlement
When the presence of the steamer and her
mission became known great excitement pre-
vailed. and large crowd assembled, in which
were many women. All the captains lived in
the vicinity. Nothing of violent character,
however, took place. Capt. Ross, Mate
kelman and two men of the Rough and
Ready escaped after she was anchored. With
the exception of the Mary Wesley, the
captains and crews of the four other vessels
we're turned over to the authorities of Accomac
county.
At daylight Friday morning the Peed left
Hoffman with the Mary Wesley in tow, and
after cruising along the Western Shore from
Smith 5 Island went into Milford Haven, on
the Piankatank river, and turned Capt. Die
boat and crew over to Sheriff Wise, of that
county, in which a charge of illegal dredging
has been made against Capt. Die. Along
the Western Shores hundreds of tongmen
were passed, who cheered the Peed and her
prize as she went by.
The Governor and naval force arrived at
Norfolk last Friday night

present. He said he came from America,
and was President of an organization
which, he said, had existed for some
years. Farrell said picked men formed
the Assassination Committee. They were
ignorant OF each other. Daniel Curley
gave him q revolver, and told him to stop
Fosters carriage opposite Ellis quay, when
Jim Kelly and joe Brady would do the re-
msinder. The plot failed through a mis-
take. Farrell identified Kelly, Brady,
Curley, Maloney, Dryer and Boyle, all OF
whom were present in the prisoners dock,
as having been present on Ellis quay when
the attempt was made to wsylay Foster.
Curley was very much vexed at the failure.
Farrell said Brady, Kelly and Rankin, the
last of whom is now in Limerick, followed
Fosters carriage in a cab on another occa-
sion, and that Mcmahon, who was lately
accidentally shot, was assisting by watch
ing. All the prisoners were remanded for

TWO PREDICTIONS PARTLY
VERIFIED.
TiTginia chF0nleIs.

At the outset of the last election
campaign in Nevada, Hon. George W.
Cassidy warned the people Of the Pacific
Coast that there was danger Of the re-
peal Of the Silver Act, upon the mainte-
nance OF which Nevada's hopes Of future
prosperity largely depend. The article
printed in the editorial columns of the
New York Times a few days ago, and
which appeared in the Chronicles tele-
graphic news on Monday last, proves
that the note OF warning given by our
able Representative was not a false one.
The New York Times is the most infu-
entail Republican newspaper in the
country. It's utterances upon all great
public questions may be relied upon as
accurately foreshadowing the purposes Of
its party. 1t declares that 'the Silver
law is a failure" and the effort Of the
Government to maintain silver as a
money metal it characterizes as "this
obstinate and crazy pursuit Of an impos-
sible end" The people Of Nevada, in
view Of these declarations from a source
so authoritative, may prepare to witness
a speedy effort to repeal the Silver law
as Mr.. Cassidy predicted. The object
and effect of the repeal would of course
be TO squeeze a few dollars more out Of
the earnings Of labor for the benefit OF
capital. The workman who now gets
his months wages in gold, Or in silver
dollars, each Of which will pay for a dol
lars worth OF food, fuel or clothing,
would then be paid in silver dollars
worth perhaps 90 cents, or so cents, or
70 cents. If he should require a 500
piece to deposit in the savings bank or to
pay q debt, he must go to the broker and
pay for it twenty-five or twenty-three OF
thedollars his labor earns. He cannot pay
any debt exceeding IS with silver. for
silver will not be q legal tender for large
amounts. 1t will only be a legal tender
for the poor mans wages, but he must
take that or nothing.
Another prediction Of Mr.. Cassidy
was that a strong effort would be made
by the Republicans to repeal the Chi
nese Exclusion Act. OF the correctness
Of this prediction, also, we have already
had sufficient evidence to prove that the
twill" is there, but fortunately the power
is lacking. The Democratic tidal wave
which swept over the country last No
vembers-carried off with it the Republi.
can majority in Congress. The people Of
Nevada and California were true to that
national party which had proved itself
true to their interests by passing that
anti. Chinese law. No Republican Rep.
resentatiye from Nevada or California
will sit in the next Congress, Therefore
we may rest assured that Senator Logan's
effort to repeal or destroy the effect of
that law will meet with little success,
even though it be backed up by the pow
erful influence of Charles Croker OF the
Central Pacific Railroad, who has just in
formed the people OF the East that in
his opinion the Pacific Coast cannot get

GOV FOX INVESTIGATION.

A lively discussion occurred IN the
Assembly last Friday over a bill, the
object of which was to change the man
agement Of the Orphans Home. We
have not a copy of the bill, but we pre-
sumo it is the same old story that Is
harped upon every time the Legislature
meets. Somebody fails to get appointed
Superintendent of the Home, and then
he and his friends cry out for investlga-
ton. The orphans, they say, are beng
starved or otherwise cruelty treated. All
the criers want is the ingenuity OF a
Dickens to paint a Do-the-boys Hall and
moisten every eye in the House. The
Board Of Directors, they vociterate, are
not the proper persons to have charge OF
orphans. The State Treasurer, the
General and the Schoolmaster-
General nave no warm feelings tor chIl-
dren. They wink at the in~humanities OF
the Superintendent and Matron OF the
Orphans' Home. The Legislature should
select and appoint these parents to the
fatherless and motherless waits. This
all comes as from a volcano-atter the
Board of Directors have met and made
the inevitable mistake Of appointing IN
competens. heartless persons to attend
in the place Of parents to the orphans
In the discussion Of the bill, biennially
resurrected, Mr.. Gray Of White Pine
spoke in favor OF it. The Carson Appeal
reports him as follows
HE held that the air had been thick
with rumors relative to the cruel treat
ment of the children, and there had been
no investigation. The matter had been
hushed up, and there seemed no way OF
ascertaining the facts as the Boards
would do nothing. II the DILL I'D not
pass he would introduce a resolution
calling for a thorough investigation,
The bill was defeated by & vote Of 25
to 10.
Now, we earnestly hope that Mr. Gray
viii carry out his determination; that a
most thorough and searching investlga-
ton OF the Home management for the
last four years will be undertaken and
carried out in every detail. Ii there IS
anything wrong in it, revelation and ex-
posure are demanded in the cause Of
humanity, Il Is necessary, also, for
Justices sake, to yindicate the Matron
and Superintendent Of the Home, whose
reputation is aspersed, who are by i'm
putatjou advertised from the very Legis-
lature as monsters. Certainly 50 until
the ugly rumors taken IN and reiterated
by Mr.. Gray in the House are shown by
proofs TO be untrue. 1t ID sincerely to
be hoped that the gentleman from White
Pine will push his promised investigation
to extremity. Il the rumors that ne
vitalizes on the floor Of the Assembly
are true everybody ought to be made
familiar with the facts that they origi-
. nate in; if they are false Mr.. Gray owes
it to his interested and sympathetic
constituency indirectly, and to Mr.. and
Mrs. Mills directly, to establish their
falsity and enter a retraction of his
hasty words in the journals OF the Legis-
lature.

Mica,

Every now and then there is a mica ex-
citement in Nevada. There is hardly any
part of the State in which d mica mine has
not been found. So far no mica has been
discovered that is of any commercial value,
or that viii pay to produce. The market
value Of mica is great, and at the
present time the demand is such that
it cannot be supplied. A piece of mica -four
inches by four inches, five-eighths of an
inch thick, will weigh one pound and has a
market value Of 81. A piece three by six
inches, one-half inch thick will weigh one
pound and has a market value of 81 GO, and
a like relative value exists except in the
smallest pieces-say one-half by two
inches, which have a relative value
of 80 cents 4 pound, and all the
refuse and trimmings of the mica
are readily sold to parties who
pulverize them for use in nitro-9lycerine
and other dangerous explosives.

A Vile Business.

Taylor's bill prohibiting minors from
entering houses Of prostitution was killed
in the House On Wednesday, after a long
debate. Either the bill was not drawn up
in such a way as to properly express the
authors intention, says the Carson APP
peal, or the House misapprehended the
meaning OF the bill. The bin was intended
to cover cases in Virginia City, where keep
ers of bawdy houses entice Young girls into
their resorts for commercial purposes.
There is a case cited where a procuress in
Virginia City brought six girls from Sacra-
mento to a Virginia house Of i'll repute,
the eldest not being over 16, and the
youngest but 10 years of age. A bill to
properly punish such outrsges should be-
come q law.
