ANOTHER LESSON. | Under the above and like excep tions, that political chamelion, the “Press,” has lately given the world a medley of strange statements. lien fore the election it lauded .\lr. Caton} as the “Peoria-2's man,” in opposition t to corporate power; it now claims a portion of the credit in defeatingl him as the candidate of monopoliesl .~ and rings. it is free to say, “nowl that the election is otter,” that itl knew all the time he would he do: i‘eatetl, &e. Now, it' it law-w all thisl and was that. fearless and honest ex-i poncnt ol' l.)emocratic principles! which it pretended to to, why did it; publish his name at the head of its} editorial columns as its choice forthel Helegatesbip '3 There. is but onc‘ conclusion, viz: that it assumed at hypocritical position in the matter.l Its nominal editor attended the [lain-1 ocratic 'l‘t-rritorial t'onrcntion and; there gave his word, we are inlormed, that he “would not do anything aoatxs't' Mr. Ilaller, if the latter Werel nominated for Prosecuting,r Attor-f hey.” it subsequently opposed hinr in its usual style. ()ne of itsspoltt-s-l men approached Mr. lialler, during: the canvass, with a t'ttot'ost't'lox that} it would support him for twenty live: dollars (we can t'ttovn what we say) and since election it claims that he, wasthe party making the [.it'uposl-l tion. It also claims that the Alto L‘s. lost the Prosecuting Attorney in this', district when it knows full well that! all we did ‘was merely to see thati llaller got justice, by showing up the cowardly and treacherous action of the "Press” towards him. “"0 endorsed Mr. Ballard as the regular Republican nominee, although we were honest enough to publish our information regarding his alleged purchase of the “Press” influence. If he or that paper, either one, can satisfactorily clear up the matter, we will he most highly gratified to pal» lish the I'ews. What we did for Mr. llallcr was done in the face of a strong probability of his defeat, and was merely because we could not hear to see him so shamefully used. The “Press” also says in substance that Mr. Caton was the choice of the Federal oiiicials in Olympia and Port Townsend, and that Mr. ”roots was and is their enemy. This too in thel face of the fact that the ollicials herej stood squarely by Mr. Brents, andl that at Olympia Gov. Ferry madel one of the ahlcst speeches of the‘ mnnpaign in his faVor.

SAN li'nAxt-tst-o, Nov. 18.———The hreak in stocks this morning is at trihuted to the manipulation of Ne vada Block. There ia nothing in the news from the Sierra Nevada cross cut to warrant such a. smash. Many press and private dispatches received from Virginia. are all to the same general tenor that the mine is looking well. Ore in the cross cut on the 2.100 foot. level hardly aver agesas good as expected; but on the 2,200 foot level, far exceeds an ticipations in every respect. ()ne dispatch states that the cross out had penetrated the ore body, and had gonna!) first into liarrcn rock and again into ore, which is explained by saying that the first ore struck was a. rich place in the cup rock which was mistaken for the true ore body.
