Conkling tripped up Hayee on his New
York appointments on 12 A report of
the executive session says Ihe senate
was in executive session to-day nearly
six hours, adjourning only at eight
o'clock this evening. The entire session
was devoted to the New York custom
house nominations, two of which, name
ly those of Theo. Roosevelt, to I* collec
tor In place of Arthur, to be remove,!
and L. Bradford Priuce.as naval officer,
vice Cornell, to be removed, were report
ed from the committee on commerce un
favorably. The third name, that of F.
A. Merritt. to be surveyor of customs i
place of Sharp, whose commission has
expired, was reported with a favorable
recommendation. No opposition w*
manifested to the latter, but the contest
in regard to the proposed removals wa
exiivmoly animated and took a very
w ide range, covering a discussion of the
rights, powers and duties of Mr. llayes
in regard to removals from office and
the subject of civil eervice policy in gen
eral.
Mr Conkling opened and clewed the
debate. Mr. Teller and others apoke
against their confirmation, and Messrs.
Bayarflt Kernan, Gordon, Hoar and
Matthews spoke in favor thereof. The
c >nfi rotations were acted upon separate
ly by yeas and nays, but resulted the
s.iuie. Messrs. Eaton, IVnuis, White
and Maxcy, democrats, voted with the
republican majority against, and Messrs
Rtirnaide, Christiancy, Conover. I>awes.
lluar aud Matthews, republicans, sided
with the great body of democrats in fav
or of the confirmations. The yeas were
25 and the nays 32. Merritt wis con
firmed without a division.
The Washington Capital states that
the wife of a New York banker appear
ed the other evening at a party repre
senting Capital. The drees waa covered
on the skirt, so as to make it appear one
piece, with one-hundred and five hun
dred-dollar hills. The waist and sleeyes
were fI.OUO bonds sewed in. and her fin
gers and ears blazed with diamonds. The
tiara wassaid to have been worth s(>,
OKI, and the total value of the notes and
diamonds on her person was S2tIO.OOU.
Two pages carried her train, and watch
ed lest the jewels and greenbacks should
fall to the floor.
What an insulting mockery in times
like these when country is filled with
thousands out of employ, poorly clad
wives, and hnngrv babes. The impu
dence of capital and the revelry of
wealth are all too apparent already
making it needless to show itself with
stalking insult. "The wife of a New
York banker' may see the dav when in
stead of being covered with greenbacks
and bonds and diamonds for a show, she
may fall to a character in the oppoaite
direction representing real poverty and
clad in misery and gnawed by hunger

In 1863 Judge Gamble, of Williams-
Iport. took out a policy of insurance for
■£lo,ooo with the Charter Oak life insur
ance company on the "with profits" plan
Hrhich fixed tbe annnal premium at
less thirty per cent, annually and
ls~-ss#xty per cent, triennially. In 1873
the company demanded |630, the entire
amount of the premiums, which the
judge paid under protest and all subse
quent payments were made under simi
lar conditions. Up to this time |7,407,-
28 have been paid the company. Judge
Gamble prays that the contract or policy
shall be rescinded; that tbe company
sball repay the auma paid, with interest;
that the company shall be restrained by
an injunction from claiming or collect
ing any sums of money under such con
tract, or from declaring it void. He re
cites that be believes thecompany bank
rupt ; that it has not kept its agreement
and does not intend to do so. Judge
Ma ver, who is trving the case, has grant
ed a preliminary injunction and fixed on
Saturday, December 29, for hearing the
arguments.

The feeling against Chinamen in Cali
fornia is still bitter, and the Celestial*
are becoming alarmed- On 13 a tele
gram was received by President Hayes
from the San Francisco "Six Companies,'
representing that a gang of roughs at
tacked a party of one hundred and tifty
Chinaman, who had just reached the city
from Sacramento, robbing and cruelly
beating them, and seriously injuring
more than fifty of the number. There
was no interposition by the police for
their protection, and no arrests were
made. The Companies also call the at
tention of the President to the intima
tion ot the Governor of California in his
address to the Legislature that the mob
may become too strong for control. They
represent the helplessness of their peo
ple without diplomatic protection, and
remind the President of the obligations
of the United States Government for their
security under the provisions of the
treaty. The President said he would
give the matter his immediate atten
tion. ,

RAILROADiSECRETS.
A statement from one who ought to
know, revealing a crookedness in the
financial management of the Heading
Kail road company, has created quite n
sensation and juat as much surprise. The
Heading was always considered sound
anji least of all suspected of having any
hidden things that would cause con
sternation if brought to light. A former
President of that company ha* within a
few days made a startling disclosure,
which i* thus briefly summed up in one
of our dailies:
The President of the Reading Kail
road from IStU to ISti-.i, Mr. Charles K.
Smith of Philadelphia, has published a
report of an investigation by him into
the atlairs of that company made in ISTit,
which makes a remarkable exhibit, aud
onethat will nut Mr.Goweti on the de
fense. The Reading Railroad ami the
Coal and Iron company—-one and the
same thing—has slink, bonds and a
thiating debt of 1118,000,000. The pro
tits of the two companies in the live
vears since IS7I. Mr.Smith shows to b*
$2,847,880. while the dividends declared
by the Railroad company in that time
aggregate $18,040,264, leaving a detci
I between net earnings and dividend of
$13,682,588, of which two and a quarter
million* IS dieooual on bonds sold, |re-
Mimsbly to realise the therewithal to
pay the dividend*. Mr.Situili also an
tagonise* Mr. Gowen'a hobby thai it >a
the best policy for the Cont|>any to work
its own collieriae, by showing that in
the five vear* indicated the loss ou col
lieries worked bv the company was $2,
020,683, while the gain on these leased—
that ia the amount of royalty received—
WAS $1,731,191.
Mr. Smith aava the report of the Com
mittee embodving these facta was not
allowed to be entered on the minutes ol
the Company by Mr. Gowen and Mr.
Boris, lie then sent a copy of it to the
London stock and bondholders, with
demand that Mr. Gowen be dismissed
and the company stop miningcosl. Both
demands being refused, he makes publli
the report, which is creating something
of a sensation iu Eastern financial cir
-ie*. Watering stock and sacrificing
nillions in discounts on bonds sold to
raise money to pay dividends on the
stock, may be accepted as the dinisx of
modern railroading.

The Thirteen life insurance compa
nies in New York which have collapsed
sincethat sort ofthing beran are still in
the hands of receivers. There is not the
least probability that any of the bakers
doien will ever get a fresh start. Each
proved so utterly rotten when daylight
was let into it, that it could never again
get business, even though the insurance
department gave permission to go ahead.
The whole thirteen companies are man
aged, or manipulated, by respectable
men —men of good social atanding—who
attend fashionable churches and think it
would be a good thing to take the ballots
away from the working classes. Not
having the figures at hand just now, we
cannot say exactly how many millions
these respectable," religious suffrage re
striction gentlemen have stolen, or per
mitted to he stolen, from the confiding
policy-holders, who were credulous
enough to trust them. But the gross
amount is no trifle. The liabilities of
the Continental foot up $5,500.000, and
the receiver thinks that if the policy
holders live long euough they may ulti
mately get thirtv-five cents on the dol
lar. the liabilities of the Security
amount to something overs4,ooo,hooand
it is doubtful if over twenty centa on
the dollar will ever be paid. It would
not be much out of the way to put down
the aggregate stealings, or misappropria
tions, or whatever they may be called, at
$15,000,000. A large part of this sum
was unquestionably squandered in loose
management, but aootber large part waa
certainly spent by the officers in extrav
agant living.
Popes must be just like other folks—
for they get sick too like other*. Here
is an account of the Pope's condition on
13 as telegraphed from Rome:
An improvement in the Pope's appe
tite is for the moment the most notable
point in his condition. Near midnight
on Monday he had a paroxysm of con
vulsive coughing which continued for
two hours, and seemed to imply grave
derangement of the cheat and to threaten
serious disturbances, hut it passed otl
without any apparent aggravation of his
great debility. Another attempt was
uiade to remove his Holiness from bis
oed to his arm chair, in consequence ol
the increasing gravity of the bed sores,
that have been induced by the r ecu ni
ne nt position. It was hoped that this
charge would prevent extension of the
-ources of inconvenience and danger,
nut the attempt baa again failed.
M VACUAHON TALKS OF RESIGN
7AG.
Paris, December 13.—Marshal Mac.Ma
tion has arrived at an understanding
with tbe Left. Last night a deputation
of the members of the Right waited upon
.'iim to say that it was utterly impossible
tolorm a Ministry from their ranks, and
that all further attempts in that direc
tion would be useless. Members of the
delegation, while expressing the strong
est wish to support the Marshal, were
most emphatic in their expressions ol
the necessity of coming to terms with
moderate Republicans, and ending the
crisis. The Marshal was deeply moved,
and after some conversation with the
deputation, among whom were some of
his staunchest friends, for whose opin
ion he has great respect, said there was
no other course left open to him but to
resign. His friends were appalled at the
prospect, and besought him not to take
this iitep. On condition of his retaining
the Presidency, they authorised him to
do whatever he pleased, in order to ter
minate the crises. The Marshal still
hesitated, and reiterated bis unwilling
oesa to retain office under the circum
-tances; hut the delegation urged their
views with great force,and pointed out
the danger to Conservative interests of
pluuging the country into an uncertaiu
future, by resigning at the present time.
Finally the Marshal yielded and promis
ed to summon a Ministry from the mod
crate Left. Marshal MacMahon, with
his usual promptitude, at once put his
resolution into effect by courauuicsting
with M. Kufsure, giving him s carte
blanche to form a ministry. It is thought
in well informed circles that M. Dufaure
will undertake tbe task, and that the
long and trying crises which has afflicted
France for mouths is at last practically
ended. Recent indications leave little
room to doubt that the Conservative coa
lition which brought about this trouble
is fast disintegrating. The Bonapartist*
are assuming a bolder tone, and Legiti
mists, as well as OrleanisU, are beginning
at last to realize tbe fact that the Bona*
partists alone are likely to profit by a
prolongation of tbe crisis.
DI'FAI'BE AMD MACMAIION AT WOBK.
Paris, December 13, 2 p. m.—President
MacMahon has yielded and the political
crisis is regarded as ended. Conciliation
is dominant. MacMahon and M. Dufaure
are negotiating, and the formation of an
acceptible ministry is now believed
possible.

[From the Virginia City F.ntcrprise.]
In the Caraon Tribuns of list evening
we find this little item :
Judge F. K. Bvchtel arrived on the
stage thisaflernoon from Bodie. He is
en route to the scene of his boyhood
days in Pennsylvania. The Judge has
resided in Sodie since His implicit
faith in the mines has been finally re
warded, and be returns to bis Eastern
home a wealthy man.
On Friday last a man named Carrol
ton, here in Virginia City, fifty years of
age, blew his brains out. A day or two
previous be remarked to a friend that he
had a daughter, eighteeu years of age to
educate whom he had sent money East;
that his daughter had recently married
a gentleman there; that they were com
ing here to see him, and that he would
rather die than have his daughter come
here and find him poor. He was dis
charged a few days since from one of the
nrnes; he had drank heavily for two or
three days, and on Friday liorrowed a
pistol from a friend and, bidding him
good-by, turned around and blew bia
brains out. The cases of Bechtel and of
the suicide make between them a pret
ty good history of this country. In the
Consolidated Virginia office yesterday
we saw half a million dollars worth of
silver bricks, and outside sat a beggcr.
Both were types of Nevada—the latter
the more common type.

A Vienna correspondent seyt that tha

The fact that Kdliem arid Mehamed Pash

"l'bta way i* an old way—altuott a* old

"And then thi* way i* an unchanged
way. Tbe *ame hope* end feeling actual*
men in it now a* when Adam and Kv<

retribution. Hut it came right away,
when tbe avenging angel drove them
from tbe garden. And now man walk in
tbi* way acareletiy a* if there were no

practically acquitted themselves ot any
blame in the mailer. Adam rolled tbe
blame upon Eve; Eve on the serpent.
N- thing teem* more astounding than tbi*

After that can como tho only true reforma

it it worth the effort. And the difficulties
will surely be overcome. There will be

will be Jesua walking with you. And

of glory, wbich you cannot reach except
by the narrow way. Beyond that there

that tbey are in the minority, by remem
bering that tbe majority are on the broad
