There was little dinner party the
other night, and the fresh ears Of smil-
ing corn looked very tempting. They
were handed round. One young gen.
tleman started vigorously to eat from
the cob. There was a little hesitancy
about touching that corn. The young
gentleman kept on enjoying it immense
ly. This went on for long time, and
finally one young lady took an ear and
began cutting il of.

The young fellow who had been eat

The report of the Grand Jury of
Eureka, Nevada, recently submitted,
calls 1.-THE attention of our worthy
Postmaster to the fact that obscene
pictures are being circulated in Eu-
reka through the mails and coming
from Cincinnati, Ohio, which we
know he will use bis influence to
suppress if he be Legally called upon
to do 3d." The same complaint
comes from other sections. Our
worthy postmaster will, no doutt,
once his attention is called to the
subject, keep his eye upon sus.
picious mail matter such as Is here
complained of and suppress it
promptly should all effort be made to
introduce it here. These ghouls
have been at this infamous work of
debauching the young since last fall
and 1t is to be hoped that some
means may be found to bring them
to merited punishment. Through
the active efforts of postmasters their
sphere of operations can be much cir
cumscribed.

The Hianatnh os sfAto fhot To,

The dispatches state that Jefferson
Davis, himself quite iii, is showing
much anxiety and much feeling in
the physical condition of tie great
leader Of the Union forces In the war
Of the Rebellion. The ex-President
Of the Confederacy was equally
anxious concerning Grant Just q
score of years ago. Yesterday week
ago. April 3, was the anniversary of
the day when Grants army began
the march from Richmond which
ended in the surrender of Lee at Ap-
pomattox six days later. The remi-
niscence has q melancholy interest
now that the hero of that great strug.
gle lies upon his bed, with the angel
Of death hovering over him. It is
not all over with him vet. but when
the stern summons shall come to him
he will be ready. To him has been
vouchsafed his desire If LET us have
peace" Peace, indeed, relgns
throughout the length and BREATH
Of the land and the old dag floats
triumphant In every section. Save
one the men who in mistaken zeal
waged the war that developed the
genius of Grant have all come back
into their personal and political rights,
and msnfully accepted the issues of
the war, and that one, to whom par
don has up to now been denied, is
bowed down by sorrow, disappoint-
ments and disease and Jefferson
Davis will in all probability not long
survive the great soldier, Grant.

A Select Committee of the Colorado
Legislature, in the closing hours of
the session, made its report upon the
alleged corrupt methods employed in
the election of a United States Sen
ator to succeed Senator Hill. The
Committee was very partisan, and
wltha single exception autagonistic
to Mr.. Hill. 1t was appointed for a
whitewashing purpose, and thorough
ly fulfilled its mission. Never in the
history of politics in America was
there an approach to the corruption
that obtains in the Republican party
of Colorado. Elections there have
become mere matter OF commerce.
Votes are mercbautable commodity,
and go to the highest and last bidder.
With a few honorable exceptions
this applies also to the Legislature.
and last January the purchase of
votes in the Senatorial contest was q
disgustingiy disgracefal fact. Yet,
the Committee appointed for the pur-
lose of investigating into and report
ing upon this corruption failed to
find that "any improper methods
had been emp!oyed,' and, in accord
ance with the behests of their mas
ters, brought in areport compliment
ary to that political saint, the Hon.
Henry NJ. Teller, the ex-Iand grab
bing Secretary of the Interior.

Two very serious points are raised
against the validity of the lease:
That it Was entered into without The
consent OF the stockholders and that
a like essential f,rmality with Con-
gress was also neglected. The Central
Pacific is a sub ,idized road, upon
which the Government has lien and
it is held that the cons Mt of Congress
was necessary before the lease could
be legally executed. The transfer
was undoubtedly made against the
interests Of the Union Pacific and
consequently a battle of the giants
may be looked for in the near future.

Adirondack Murray, preacher,

keep Mr.. Murray before the people.

Our festive, but thoughtless, neigh
Dor, in an editorial On the Mantana
Governorship, last evening, had the
following:-
The MINER carefully refreins from
stating its choice tOrGovernor. Per-
baps it IS working secretly in the
interest Ct its business manager, Mr..
Brown. 1t is fair to assume that Mr..
Hau. er would resign his pretensions
to the Territorial throne if he thought
himself in the way Of MIR. brown.
The MINER does not have caadi-

It comes to the ken of the MINER
that a caucus of very small frac-
ton If the Territorial Democratic
Central Committee was held in Butte
on Wednesday last. It is understood
that the entire committee were in
,ited to the feast: but few came,
however. OF those few, several left
as soon as they had learned the
object of the gathering. A reporter
OF the MINER, receiving an intima-
tion that meeting Of the Committee
Was to be held here, made an effort
to obtain the proceedings, but was
put Oft with vague answers. The
star-chamber me eting was held,
attended, however, by only a
few Of the shining lights
representing the Gel trail Committee
of the Democracy of Montana. 1t is
said that the meeting was engineered
in the interest of Sam. Hauser, of

Now, the MINER is not in opposition
to {. Hauser, but it is utterly op-
posei 10 the questionable and un-
Democratic methods employed by
his friends in this instance. These
