keep his hands from freezing, seized him by

kicking and beating him, and threatening to
break every bone in his body if he dared to

WE understand that Judge Hoar, the new
Attorney General of the United States, has
a brother in this city who is known as Will
liam Horr. He was formerly known as a
ship-bread and cracker baker. This varia-

little story Some years ago the solid men
of Worcester, Massachusetts,, decided to
build first-class hotel. In order to encour-
age a liberal subscription to the stock, they
determined that the hotel should be named
after the subscriber who should take the
most stock. When the entire amount was
taken it was ascertained that the name of
Judge Hoar, the present Attorney General,
stood at the head of the list. From some
cause never announced to the public, how
ever, the trustees broke faith with him and

Coon EFFECT OF lT.-The Carson Appeal

Two very good results have already ac-
crued here in consequence of the passage of

there is but one game of faro dealt in the

is closed on Sunday. 1t strikes us that the
moral tendency of the Act in question is il
Illustrated right here. Nobody, not even the
most inyeterate gambler, will pretend to de-
ny that gambling is a vice; but where is
there city of any considerable size that it
is not carried on as business, notwithstand-
ing the existence of the most stringent pro-
hibitory'law 1t is very easy to declare a
thing crime, but it is another thing to get
it treated as such: and when a vice cannot
be suppressed it is simply the blindness of
bigotry not to try and compromise with it,
and thereby control it as far as possible. 1t

ting law the State will realize a revenue OF
not less than fifty thousand dollars per

E. LEVIN & Co.-In little item of ours
on the 9th of March, in alluding to E. levin
& Co. in connection with certain matters
relating to the Mammoth Quartz Co., we in
nocently and unfortunately awakened the ire
of that very respectable firm of money
changers, and caused temporary diversion
of their mammoth intellects from the
pleasing avocation of calculating two per
cent. interest. In order to vindicate their
reputation, which they accuse us of assail-
ing, they have resorted to the publication of
a proclamation in the Sacramento Union. in
the course of which they give the public an
astounding amount of very valuable miscel-
laneous information. The secret of their
wrath toward us is explained by the simple
fact that in our article we gave the creditors
of the Mammoth Co. hint as to how they
might recover their just dues. AS Levin 4
Co. own about one-fourth of the stock, Of
course they would be called upon to dis
gorge some of their wealth if payment was
enforced. This touched them on their most
tender spot, and hence their senstlveness on
the subject of agitating Mammoth matters
| As to the insinuation that we probably pub
lished the offending article on account Of
scarcity Of items, we have only to say that il
we were to give detailed ventilation of the
management of the Mammoth Co., and the
connection of E. Levin & Co. Herewith,
together with history of their operations for
the past fifteen years, there would be no lack

The letter and report published by us last week. from two distinguished military off cers, prove, exclusively, to our mind, that the suspicion recently held by some people m tbis Territory, that the PimaS and Marico- pas were concerned in the recent attack upon and capture of the mail near Willow Springs, in this county, wa. unfounded. The docu- ments alluded to settle all doubts regarding Pima and Marcopa faith. These Indians may steal hum white men whenever easy op- portunity offers, but we have never yet be- lieved they would kill white man, for the mere sake of killing him: neither do we be- lieve they would shed white blood, in order to get possession of horse, a mule, or an OK. Their account of the manner in which they got possession of portion of the cap tured mail, is straight as an arrow, and high ly honorable to them. No fears need be en- tertained that the Pimas and Mancopas will ever unite with the Apaches against us. The bitterness and hostility between them and the Apaches is far greater than that which we cherish for the Apaches, although we have sufficient cause to hate the cowardly coyottes known as Apaches.
