The Governmenr. old GUNS,

A vast number Of old Misunderstanding
small arms, which accumulated during
and after the late war, have been sold.
They were purchased by Grand Army
posts, military companies and private in
dividuals all over the United States.
One lot of over 0 1000 Enfield muskets
were sold to an English firm at ST 25
each. The firm has been trying to specu-
late with them ever since. The lot has
been offered to several South American re-
publics, but they yet remain unsold. The
supply of old f1int-lock muskets in posses
sion Of the Government is very limited,
but, strange to say, those primeval pieces
are still in demand. Any number of them
can be sold in Africa, where they are pop
ular on account Of the presence OF
flint there in abundance and the
entire absence OF percussion cap factories.
The number Of old arms On hand in the
Government arsenal will aggregate 100,-
900 of all kinds. They are being
sold at prices ranging from Is cents
to 81 each. The latter priced pieces are
complete, and the former either incom-
plete or badly rusted. Over two-thirds Of
the Grand Army Of the Republic posts in
this country have been supplied from the
collection of Belgian and Austrian mus
kets useo uuIips 'uo Hrst part ol tue WAT
The posts and numerous military compa-
MES have also been equipped with old
waist belts, plates, bayonet ~scabbards and
cap boxes. The above equipment COM
plete, with gun, is sold at ST. 40. When
new, the same guns cost the United States
from S14 to SIS each. Hundreds of cavalry
sabres, when FLASHED in the sunlight" on
many a memorable field. are sold at 81
apiece, the belts and plates costing rs
cents additional. Sporting dealers are
rapidly buying up all the old smoothbore
muskets, for which they pay 81. In many
instances they are sent to England or
France and converted into breechloaders.

sEYMOUK.s VIEWS.

Horatio Seymour was interviewed IN
New York, the other day, and had the
following remarks to make about the
next Presidential nomination. They are
worth quoting for the double reason that
it is Seymour who makes them, and that
they are novel and forcible. He said:
II do hope a man of experience in public
affairs may be selected. Very much is
said about the old ticket, and objections
are made to Mr.. Tilden on account Of his
health. 1t is alleged that he is infrm.
Now, / do not know that Mr.. Tilden
either seeks or would accept the nomina.
tion, but l don't regard the health of a
man so all.important in the performance
of the duties of his Office as the fact that
he is conversant with public affairs, and
familiar with the subjects he is likely to
be called upon to act on. It is a striking
fact that the only two persons whose
lives were destroyed by the pressure of
Presidential duties were two sturdy
soldiers-Taylor and Harrison. A man
conversant with the thirty-fve require
ments of his office could better admins
ter the duties of the Presidential office
from a sick bed than could q healthy
man who went into the position un-
familiar with the subjects upon which he
would have to act. We select our
Presidents from the men of the hour, and
l think that our practice of nominating
men for the Presidency who are merely
men for the hour, and not for the times,
. very hurtful one. 1t forces men into
the Presidential chair because they have
popularity for the moment of election,
and not because they are trained for the
performance of its great duties, and this
leads to great evils. Unframed men
must be directed in their policy by out
side influences, and this lowers the char
acter of our Government"

THE MEANING OFTRE VIRGINIA
ELECTION.

The result of Tuesdays election in
Virginia will give color to the whole Re-
publican programme next year. The
Administration was more than an inter-
ested spectator of the fight. Its hand,
though not always visible, was plainly
in the struggle from beginning to end.
On the issue depended more than the
supremacy of that bold and resolute
chief in Old Dominion politics. 1t
meant a political programme, embracing
in its scope the possible action of the
next National Republican Convention.
1t is we'll understood that had Malone
won again the strength and influence of
Virginia were to be given to the Presi.
dent for his nomination. Mahone's sue
cess, had he won, would have made him
a very important factor in the Republic
can Convention, and a determined effort
would have been made by him to secure
the whole strength Of the south for MIR.
Arthur, which shows Of what excellent
use rebel brigadiers may be to our bloody
shirt friends. Success in Virginia would
have given him the right to aspire to
leadership in the Southern delegations,
and he would have been certain to use
and exercise it for Arthur under favora-
BILE conditions for doing SO.
Had Virginia been carried for the Re-
publicans it would not have mattered
much for Mahone's plans whether New
York went Democratic or Republican.
He would then have been in position to
almost dictate the Presidential nomina-
tion.
Failure in Virginia has crushed this
plan. Malone will hardly now lead a
Virginia delegation to the Republican
delegation, and if he does it will not be
'head and tail up, but the reverse.
Practically the battle in old Virginia
involved a choice among men for the big
prize of the party struggle. With Ma
hone successful every Republican candi-
date for the Presidency would have been
a doubtful quantity. The battle was
waged for the Administration with Brig
adler Malone in the lead as a full. fedged
Republican manager. This explains the
intensity of the strife for victory.
The Virginia election will have impor-
tant political consequences and will in a
considerable measure determine the con-
duct of the Republican campaign of 1884.

SPLENDID ACHIEVEMENT.

This is, perhaps, says the San Fran.
cisco Examiner, as good as we could have
expected under the circumstances. The
balance is in our favor, and the defeat of
Malone and the redemption of Virginia
is a splendid achievement, which will
score honor and gratitude for the Demo-
cratic party. The victory in New Jersey
will swell peans of praise and rejoicing to
a still louder refrain. Every Democratic
State is secure in it's anchorage, and the
inroads made upon the Republicans
strengthen and v~italize the splendid pos.
sibilities of 1884.

Tho M0OISOm Dhs0St0fs
MILWAUKEE, Nov. "a mechanic
named Bohn, who was at work ON the ex-
tension OF the Capitol when it fell, has
privately told the secret of its downfall to
parties in this city, who will produce him
at the Coroner's inquest to locate the
blame for the terrible accident. Bohn says
he saw the defects in the brick pier sup
porting the iron column, third floor, south
east corner, and that the cracks we're
plainly visible the day before the accident;
that Foreman Jones, now dead, screwed
up the iron pillar supporting the roof
girders with jacks, and caused the brick
pier to be rebuilt. On the following morn
ing, however, BONN says, Jones took away
the Jacks early, not wishing that the public
in general should know of the trouble.
Bohn was at work ON the third floor when
the accident occurred, and saw this pillar
give way. Masons say the mortar was
green, and was squeezed out by taking
away the jacks so early, causing the pier
to settle; hence the fall.

A Thrifty Young widower.
BALTIMORE, Nov. S.-Moses, the husband
of the fat woman who died recently, it ap-
pears called several times on the day Of her
death on DR.. Hill, offering his wife's body
for sale, which was finally bought. Moses

action that he was in great poverty and
needed money. The remains will not be

Miss Hill in Mysteries.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9.-Another scene
occurred in Judge Firms Court this MORN
ing. When Miss Aggie Hill presented
herself at midday to claim her alleged con-
tract of marriage with Senator Sharon. it
was found that the safe in which it had
been deposited would not open. Miss Hill
became hysterical, crying out, II knew it
would be SO. am subpenaed to appear
before the Grand Jury at IL o'clock, and
if I do not produce the paper they will
send me to jail" General embarrassment
followed, and the Judge and others present
tried to quiet her, but to no purpose.
Finally a locksmith was sent for, and after
a n hours efforts the lock yielded and the
document was brought forth. Miss Hill,
after being instructed by the Judge to
carefully examine it, replied that it was
her paper. A few moments after Miss
Hill left a police officer arrived with a
subpoena upon the Clerk Of the Court, COM
manding him to appear before the Grand
Jury with the contract; but the Clerk re-
piled that it was a little late, as the lady
had just walked off with it. Photographic
copies OF the contract we're taken yester-
day. The Clerk of the Court, on being
questioned as to why the safe would not
open, stated that to further secure the
safety OF the document he had thrown off
the combination and forgot how to put it
on, not having used the safe for q long
time.
The Mormon Question In the East

THE NEW SECRETARY.

The new Secretary OF the Senate.
Major Arson G. McCook, is of
''the fighting McCook family" an
old Californian, and is presumably
known to several Carson people.
In the early days of California Nc
Cook, then plain ''Ance," was o
druggists clerk with D. Lark in
Nevada City. and afterward held
the same position with D. Drake in
La Porte, Cal. He returned to his
native Stste, Ohio, before the break
ing out of the war, say about 1859,
and was one of the first to take up
arms in support of the Govern
ment. His record was OF the best.
Since the close of the war Major
McCook has resided principally in
New York City, and has two or
three times represented one of the
Districts of that city in the lower
branch Of Congress. He has al
ways borne q 6rst-class reputation
in public and in private life, and
the representatives of the Republi-
can party in the Senate have con-
ferred a high honor upon a deserv-
ing man. The APPEALS choice for
Secretary of the Senate. as all our
readers know, was George G. Cor

Who does not remember how the
stock market flowed and ebbed ten
or more years ago? How some
stock or another was always in q
state of squirt and there was always
q chance to win q fortune. For the
past five or six years everything
has been at stand still and the
blame of this continued stagnation
is laid upon the mines themselves.
whereas the odium really belongs
to the rasca!s who in San Francisco
have made stock dealing synony'
nous with open robbery. The
stock board has always Ind it in its
power to expel from that body
brokers known to be guilty of dis
honest practices. but it lies not in
the memory of man when a single
thief has been expelled. Is it be-
cause no one dares to begin the
wedding out process? There is no
other explanation. The Stock
Board of San Francisco and the
brokers's Offices which cap for the
concern have made stock dealing SO
obnoxious to the public that peo-
ole have learned to let the game
alone. Pine street is now infested
by q school of hungry sharks who
labor night and day to keep the
market down and allow it to move
only on basis of two-bit spurts.
The Newsletter has very sensi-
bic editorial on the subject. 1t
says:
The market, although irregular,
exhibits a much frmer tone, and
tie chances are favorable for bet
ter times in the near future for the
bull element. This, of course,
means disaster in the ranks Of the
cowardly scoundrels who are to
blame for the late decentralization.
They need expect no outside SYM
patty in their downfall. which is
sure and certain. Dealers should
be careful to only patronize leading
houses, leaving the shyster portion
severely alone. Remember these
are men who lately ruined thous-
ands of their clients to put few
dollars in their own pockets. That
these men use their customers
stock-if they ever buy ito break
down values, thus enabling them to
fill their outstanding shorts. Their
bread and butter is made by ruin;
they laugh and wax fat when dol
lars pour in from the savings bank
accounts of widows, helpless
through age, and Irish servant girls
It is not difficult to pick out the
parties to whom we refer. as
the portals of their confidence
dens con the various streets de-
voted to the stock business are
always graced by the presence OF
score or more of living pictures of
misplaced confidence and despair.
Their policy is ruin or starve. Their
business method is based on lying,
fraud and any quantity of unqual-
filed cheek. They have no more
hesitation in spreading false re-
port of a mine to serve their own
ends than they have in stealing q
clients hypothetical stock, or in
selling him out without even a
warning notice. The chance OF
clearing dollar banishes all prin-
ciples of honor and justice. The
ruin and utter annihila,ion Of these
Shiny frauds will be lasting ben
eft to the community. In unison
with thousands, we pray for the
speedy coming of the day of retri-
