Grant Will Not support Arthur.
SAN Francisco, Dec. 31.-The New York
World says that one of Gen. Grants
friends remarks that it is expected the
General will probably be confined to his
bed for some time, the fall having caused
a lesion Of q muscle in the hip. 1t is
stated that Grant will not support Arthur,
but is very friendly to Logan; particularly
so for the gallant fight Logan made for
him at the Chicago convention.
O'DOnnesrs Funeral.
SAN Francisco, Dec. 3l.-The ceremony
yesterday afternoon representing the fu-
neral of O'Donnell, who was hanged in
London, was poorly attended. There were
not more than $50 in the procession. The
Board of Supervisors, and prominent Irish
organizations of the city declined to asso-
ciate themselves with the movement.
Shall We F0rsake Our God?
SALT LAKE, Dec. 31.-John Taylor, in a
sermon at Kaysville, said: Shall any Leg
islature pass a law prosecuting polygamy ?
I say, no. No such thought ever entered
my head. Shall we forsske our God? No,
never. We want no towards in our ranks.
We will stick by our principles. The
audience greeted the r~emarksiwith a hearty
amen.

A recent dispatch from Pesth to the
New York Herald says: Baron Gall the
other evening, at the aristocratic Pesth
Adels. Casino, lost at poker over q million
forms, which foots up 1920, 900, the Hun
garian form being equivalent to 40 cents
of United States money. To pay he was
obliged to sell his entire property at
about half its real value. Unluckily a
delay of twenty-four hours elapsed before
payment. The punctilious members hence
proposed to expel Baron Gall from the
club, but Premier Tisza, who is an init
mate friend OF Baron Gall, warmly opposed
his expulsion. Finally, by a vote of 81 to
10, he continued a member. All the con-
servatives aud clericals who had played
poker with Baron Gall felt very bitter
against Premier Tisza for his action
in the matter. Since then for ven-
geance all have voted against him.
Public feeling in Hungary is much ex-
cited by what is declar ed to be deciding

that no slate for 1884 is complete which
leaves out Miller's name.

During this year there have been 100
men legally hanged in the United States
and IFS lyncbed. Presumably most OF
the latter deserved hanging-at any rate,
they were given no opportunity to prove
that they didn't. Lynching parties are like
a Knickerbocker's Dutch justice. who re-
fused to hear the evidence on more than
one side of a case, because when he heard
both sides it confused him so.-San

The theory of those who favor lynch

be something to p~alliate it's horrors il

others who foster it, could be made tt

A stNsULAR DIFFERENCE OF
OPINION.

Two Carson papers state, one directly
and the other indirectly, that the State
Teachers Institute at Reno is a failure,
and they lay the blame to MIR. Young,
State superintendent, in that he assured
the teachers Of half fare on the rail-
roads and of hall price for board and
lodging in Reno. We do not know any
thing of the matter, but it looks as
though the Nevada ~pedagogues must be
as hard up as newspaper quilldriver', II
they were SO much handicapped by these
extras during the three days session OF
the institute. As to the railroad fare 1T
was published that all the roads but the
G. p. would give half rates. The Reno
Gazette has been publishing elaborate
reports of the Institute proceedings,
from the reading Of which we should
Judge that the p~edagogues' convention
has been anything but a failure. The
Reno Journal speaks of the affair very
positively thus:
The interest of both teachers and WIS.,
itors become more intense each day IN
the subject Of education and the matters
there presented, and it is a great pity
the teachers were not accorded a full
week for the work. The new ideas the
teachers have gained by this inter
change of views will be impaired by
them to the pupils under their charge,
and thus during the coming year, every
scholar in the State will have derived
some benefit from the State Institute.

PACIFIC COAST AOWCES.

The Council Pos tpOned.

SAN Francisco, Dec. 31.-A Chronicle
New York special says, quoting from a
cable to the Herald: A letter from
an influential dignitary of the Roman
Catholic Church contains matter of great
interest TO Americans. One portion OF
the letter states that the American Bishops
have been very busy here preparing for
the National Council that was to have
taken place shortly after the new year.
The council, however, has been postponed.
AS the Presidential election takes place
next year, it was deemed wise to wait, and
thus avoid the possibility of exciting pub
lie opinion at a most susceptible mo-
ment. 1t is known, however, that the
bishops have agreed upon the following
principal points:
First, that an organization of the SEM
~inasies, according to the principles estab-
lished by the council OF Trent; second,
that parochial schools are to be estsb-
lished. and in doing SO the principles of
the first period of the middle ages are to be
borne in mind; third, that commissions are
to be appointed for the administration of
ecclesiastical property; fourth, that for the
nominations Of c~urates, a system the
same as in France is to be adopted, with
the exception, of course, of the cooperation
of state. which, unfortunately in America.
has no relation with the church. This
method of nomination is a point Of the
utmost importance, for this question
bristles with difficulties of the most thorny
and multifarious nature; fifth, that a
system of legislation is to be decided upon
for religious marriages. Such are the
chief resolutions that have been adopted
by common accord.

A Rich Copper Region.

The entire range on the northern side of
Soda Springs valley, near Luning, Nevada
some twenty miles in length by ten
miles wide-is prolific in copper deposits,
many of which are true-running contact
lodes of unusual magnitude and promise,
though not as yet proven to any consider
able depth. The Bodie Free Press says Of
the ores of these veins, that they are, in
the main, high grade and of easy smelling
quality, being mostly red and black oxides,
carbonates and silicates, with but rarely
admixtures of ~sulphides. There is gener-
ally at, or near the mines, water sufficient
for camp purposes; and the claims are Of
easy access from the railway stations in
the valley through the arroyos which
cleave the range, and afford natural road
ways of easy grades. Water for smelling
operations may be found anywhere near
Luning at a depth of sixty or seventy
feet, or may be brought by pipeline from
the adjacent mountains.

Tunneling a Volcano.

1t is proposed to drive a tunnel into the
crater of Popocatepetl and to build from
the mouth of the tunnel a railway to con-
meet with the ~Inter-oceanio Railway at
at Amecameca. The parties who are in
negotiation for the property with the
owner of the volcano, Gen. Casper
Sanches Ochoa, are said to be a rich
American house. The representative OF
the house visited the volcano with the
French engineer, Mr.. Charles Rosy. A
contract is said to have been made for the
expectation of $1,000 tons of sulphur a
year, at least. 1t is also proposed to estab-
lish a factory of sulphuric acid for use in
Mexico, selling it at So a quintal Of sixty
five degrees strength. These products of
Pcpocatepetl will add largely to the BUSH
ness Of the I~nter-oceanic Railway.

Is An Extensive Credit system a
Detriment 10 a Community?
INommunfcatad

Detriment to q Community?
Communicated
There is no question that the extensive
credit system, as it exists in Eureka, is
one OF the worst that can be inflicted on a
community. In a great many cases it is
actually an inducement, and leads to the
spending and throwing away Of money
that might probably have been applied to
a better purpose. How many men, after
getting their wages for their months
work, and paying for their past months
provisions, think of saving the balance Of
what is left for some future time when
they may be in need Of il? OF course, as
long as a man has work and enjoys good
health he can always pay at the end Of
thirty days; but how would it be if q spell
Of sickness should overtake him, or he
should be thrown out of employment ?
What would he have to fall hack on? To
say nothing of the amount Of money he
can save by paying cash for his goods, he
will, at the end of the month, always have
his full months wages coming to him. II
he should be out of work and want to go to
some other place that might offer him
better inducements he will have the means
to do so, just because his bills are already
paid and his months wages are his own.
If, on the other hand, he spends his
money and buys what he needs during the
month on credit, he will have but a small
sum left on which to leave the camp, if he
should desire to do so. If sickness should
overtake him his relative position in the
two cases would be the same. But the
worst feature Of the credit system is the
part that relates to men who have always
some speculstions on hand. Let it be
mining stocks or some other kinds of
chance games, or games without any
chance at all. A large number of men
never think of paying their bills until
they make a turn, and it happens in many
cases that they do not succeed in making
a turn, consequently their bills remain I'M
paid. And this is the class Of customers
whose bills are a tax upon men who do
pay their bills, by having to pay a larger
amount for their goods by a good many
per cent monthly than if they paid
cash. W..

POLITICAL PERsECUTIONs.

The South Carolina election cases, con
corning which the newspapers and people
of that State have been ~convulsed for
some months, have resulted in a failure
of the Government to convict. They
have practically broken down, in spite of
the fact that able outside lawyers, like
Butterworth, Crowley, Speer and others,
have taken an active part for the Govern
ment, and that the juries were composed
entirely of Greenbackers and Republi-
cans. The Government case turns out to
have been strong only in the previous
talk Of well-paid counsel.

Normal School of California, in a lecture

Reno, dwelt on the evils arising from
children being permitted to absent them.

he said, this amounts to 40 per cent of the

The Will Of Barnum. Ii ShOw
New YORK, Dec. 31.-P. 7. Barnum
seems to consider his life-work accom-
plished, for he has just made his will, in
order that there might be no question as
to his sanity upon which to ground con-
tests after his death. He had eminent
physicians examine him, and secured their
attestation that he was Of sound mind.
The will and its codicils cover more than
700 pages of legal cap, closely written. and
disposes of real estate and personal prop
erty to the value of $4,000, 900 to twenty
seven heirs. The property is in New
York, Brooklyn, Bridgeport, Colorado,
and several other places. Mr.. Barnum
values his interest in the Barnum and Lon
don shows at So, 500, 900. His requests
for charitable purposes are numerous and

the Bridgeport Orphan Asylum, the
Bridgeport Hospital, and other Bridge

provision for certain worthy charities, by
bequeathing to them a stated percentage of
large annual profits accruing from his
share in his shows. To the city of Bridge
port he secures only the water front not
already seized by private corporations,
with a dock upon it, costing $50, 600, for
81 years after his death, during which
time his executors are forbidden to sell or
