 DEATH OF THE VICE PRESIDENT.
"I AM FREE AT LAST ! !"

The Vice President of the United States of America Is dead. His career on earth ended at his home in the city of Indianapolis, Indiana on Wednesday afternoon, at forty minutes past four o'clock. His death was sudden and wholly un- expected by family and friends. He had complained of slight illness which was supposed to be tempo rary attack of malaria, that might be removed by simple remedies these were applied, but without avail. His last heard expression was "I am free at last" and his spirit took its eternal flight. The cause of death is supposed by Dr. Thompson, his physician, to be pa Falysis of the brain.
 In few days Congress will as semble and the Senators will elect their President, who, by virtue Oi his office, will be Vice President oi the United States.

chastity in women, they, in the same breath, declare that to avoid the pains and penalties of the laws they are violating; laws established for the protection of all the people, they have but to give their crime another name. Let us ask these new philosophers, these artful dod- gers, if the rotten carcasses in the polluted cess pools of irreligion can be purified and sweetened by lying.
 Bro. Milner, of the Orion Era, is too we'll up in the law to swallow any such illegal or illogical coirup- ton as this. No doubt he under stands its drift, and when the time is ripe for his declaration, he will be heard. We have no idea that he gives credence to anything the tyrants of the Mormon temple, or the chief engineer of the Endow- ment House would cram down the throats of their innocent and igno- rant victims. The reporter further says that the apostles" have held meetings in nearly all the Mormon settlements of the county, and that ''the audiences were almost exclu- sively Mormon" It was we'll for them that they had for their hear CTS in the town of Nutrioso, those who feared their masters-if men of spirit, or any human being with a spark of manliness in his heart had heard himself degraded by the "apostolic" bullics. to the level of soulless brutes-compared with the filth that is found about educational institutions in the rural districts, fit only to poison the atmosphere with noisome vaporings, they would have stripped them of their dis guises, and tarred and .feathered them as they should have been treated. When will the poor dupes learn wisdom? When will they learn that it is their privilege to stand erect in support of their own dignity and manhood. When will they resent the gibes and cruel tortures of their brazen and defiant masters.

Chronicle, and hopes to do some thing during his term to bring these wards of the nation into ga posi- tion where they can stand alone. {" The Apache would appear to have already reached this delectable po- sition tor he has whipped ten times his number of regular troops and asks nothing of the Government. Perhaps the President would get new light on the Indian question if he would put away Mrs. Jackson's sentimental letter and take vaca- ton trip out through New Mexico and Arizona. A study of the Apache at close range would at least knock the sentiment out of him.

Tenth was a frontier district when old Peter Stuyvcsant's Manor House was still undisturbed by the progress of improvement, and the roar of his bull could be heard across to the Rutgers farm and mansion, on the East river, near where Jefferson street now runs when the little two-story wooden houses were all painted yellow, and when we were boys together, Will liam, when red-headed Tapper. or old Crane, used to lick us with rat tans, because Daboll's arithmetic was not as easy as coasting down Pitt street hill in winter time on steel runners. No, old chum, if all the good died young, you and l would be rheumatic angels by this time, or be playing hon-scotch on the sidewalks of the pearly city.
 We wish we had space for the in- teresting address of President Nightingale. He throws a flood of light on Chinese slave life. It is certainly worth the broadest eircu- lation over the land. Whatever MT. Hittell writes is we'll done, the facts he sets forward in his address will go a long way in giving honor to whom honor is due, for the dis covery of gold in California. The poem by Henry B. Livingston, en- titled "Golden Memories" we must make room for. Occasionally a '49er comes this way, and we want to cheer his heart by it's recital.

TIE question of the liability ot the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad for Territorial and county taxes will soon be discussed to death. Will liam c. Hazeldine has an exhaus- tive brief in the Journal-Miner, showing that under the law and rulings of the courts, the property of government charted lines of railroads are exempt from taxation. Then we have the report of Attor- ney General Clark Churchill to his excellency, C. Meyer Zulick, Gov crnor of Arizona, full of the same kind. of law and logic, setting forth the inconsistency of exemption of this class of property. The. best brains of the bar will soon wrestle with the question, and we shall do our best to give the public all the details of the contest as fast as they may be developed.

FoR the transactions at the cele- bration of the 35th anniversary of the Society of. California Pioneers, held at Pioneers Hall, San Fran cisco, Sept. 9th, 1885, printed in pamphlet form, We are indebted to Henry B. Livingston, Esq, who, on that occasion was ''poet of the day" In looking over the field of opera tions we observe that the old boys have neither forgotten how to pray, to talk, or to sing, and though most of them are between three score and three score and ten, bless their old hearts, they do It acceptably we'll. While in San Francisco, the other day, we visited the hall of the Pioneers for the first time in fourteen years. Alone we wandered through the halls and galleries, looking at old familiar faces of friends that returned our gaze as if golden memories brought them back to earth again. We saw through the gates ajar into that city, not made with hands, the congenial souls of long years ago. It seemed as if the roll of those who now only dwell with us in spirit, far outnum- bered those who are yet in the flesh. The world moves-the old boys will, to the very last one, soon find their places in history, and the Flu reka State herself will grow old, her records fade away, and only the dim traditions will point to the pioneers who set free the precious metals and minerals from the sands of her rivers, and from the rocks that held them locked within their dark and almost impenetrable chambers. Every one of the char ter, or earlier members of the So- ciety will die, but Wm. F. Swazey that chunk of adamant looks young enough to pioneer the mountains of the moon, and start in co-part- nership with the people that Rich ard Adams Locke brought so vii wildly to the knowledge and ac- uuaintance of us earthworms. If such should come to pass, all we have to say in the matter, is, that if any of those speculative Luna ticks can beat Swazey in a high-fy, they can break us.
 w. R. Wheaton we notice is yet an active member of the Society. We don't accept it as infallible that all the "good die young," not a bit of it. Our acquaintance with this Pioneer commenced on Manhattan Island, when the Twelfth Ward was mostly a wilderness, long before the Sixteenth was set of; when the old

THE solicitor of the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad Company, William c. Hazeldine, Esq has addressed letter to the Board of Supervisors of Apache county, Arizona, under date of November 17th, in relation to the taxation of the property of the Company he represents, claim ing exemption under the laws, and decisions of the courts in many cases cited, of the Atlantic & Pa cific Company from county taxa tion. He further says, first having established our legal right of i'm munity from taxation within your county upon this class of property, 1 shall not hesitate to pay you a much larger sum, to be used as taxes than, in my opinion, you CO1lO 1CCONC1 1AOIII ltO III II1C COuI lS after long years of expensive and vexatious litigation.

OPPORTUNITIES to get Christmas money" Jubal Early and P. Teu- ton Beauregard, combined with NJ. A. Dauphin, of the l.. s. L., have given their maelstrom an extra whiz or whirr to take in the floating fools that come within its perni- cious influence. They prate the names of Adams & Co.,, Wells, Far go & Co.,, and notably mention Ma tional banks that have paid inn mense sums to those who bought a trip ticket on their rickety outfit over the turbulent waters of chance. They are as silent as the grave on the results to the poor fools who carefully watch their list of drawn numbers, only 10 meet disappolnt- ment and realize that they have wasted the little Christmas money they possessed, which might have been used to gladden. the hearts of their wives and little ones at home.
 Why it is that these vilest of gam
 blers are permitted to ply their vo- cation of fraud and robbery, their system of villainy to rob the poor of their natural rights, the benefit
 of their hard earned toil by glossy
 lies, we cannot understand. Now that the "rascals" are mostly turn ed out of office, we hope that na- tional laws will be passed that will hang every scoundrels who attempts those swindling schemes. If men must gamble, let them hunt for q game they can see something in it that is square, and not throw their money in pot hung up for idiots.
