A BOOTLESS TASK. 4 A profitless Inquiry is being made by ths House of Bepreseatativfa into tbe nombtrand nature of the official acta performed by the President at places other than lbs national capital. Then it no doubt wbalerer that PreuiJent OraiH let a very bad example when ha absented bimielf at ba did for lengthened periods from Washington. It allowed very distinctly tbat the incumbent of the Presidential Cbair regarded bis great office, not as a sacred trust, bat merely as a means of gratifying Lis personal wishes for emolument and distinction. one ibai may ba conceded it U now too near the oloaa of bis term to t ritter away tba time of the National Legisla ture to making iaquitha S to what tba President did at Long Branch, St. Louis or other places. lie did Just what be pleased for the time being. In reply to strictures and censures it was contended by his followers that it was right and bis pririlege to gratify bis own notions. Having dona so and enjoyed himself, to lbs top ot hla bent it is useless to again rake op the matter. It is probably a good thing for the country in one point of view, for tba recklessness evinced by the otter disregard of publio opinion has -done much toward exorcising the speoter of tba "third ttrm." If the President bad shown high-souled dignity in patting asido mere mercenary benefits for himself and the long array of his kith and kin; if he had consulted with scrupulous care and respected the tradi tions of bis illnitrioos offloe; if be had shown an earnest and constant de sire , to enforce the laws impartially and not convert them to the furtherance ot merely partisan or personal purposes, General Grant would nt this moment have stood before the country as a oandi. date, whom the Republican party moat have nominated and the people would probably have re-elected. - From such a disaster, for disaster it would have been to have broken the saored tradition of which the foundation was laid by the immortal Washington; from suoh a dis aster the country was saved by the fla grant errors committed by the President. Those errors, it is more than likely, were most of them eonoooted at the favorite cottage by the tea. In the luxurious re treat, thoughtfully provided by the jovial Murphy, nnder less sedato and decorous influences than are aupposod to prevail at Cabinet meetings at Washington, it is very possible tbat tba Banta Domingo sob erne, the appointment of a whole souled fallow-like Bhepherd, or ths alights to ba .thrown at impractioables like Sumner or Scburi or Greeley were discussed and determined. These sym posiums thus enjoyed at a distance from the aeat of Government were, after all, beneficial to the country, and caused iu. prudent officials to fall into mistakes which demonstrated either their inca pacity or unfaithfulness. Tberelore, nil things considered, Congress does not do well to bestow time on trifles which, though in themselves reprehensible, their effects have ceased to exercise any influ ence on national affairs. In a fewyears, if Murphy lives so long, tbat astute wire puller will be deliberating with himself as to whether after all the presentation of the cottage by the sea was a good in vestment. Another thing Congress wants to know about, is the employment of newspapers in the raauufaoture of publio opiuion or rather in the attempt to do so during the lata trials of the whisky ring. Congress or rather the lower branch of it, has be come one huge note of interrogation. Its curiosity concerning the doings of officials seems to be "never ending still beginning." Congressional inquiries are different affairs than those instituted by the lust few Congresses. Whitewash appears to have ceased to boast a mer chantable and marketable value. From Mexico comes the usual accounts of pronunciamentos, foroed loans, de fection of troops, flight of ths sup porters of one faction and elevation of the other. We really tbiuk that the Mexicans would save themselves a great deal of trouble and loss of life and pro perly if tbey would quietly become portion of the Great Republie. 1 here now seems to be no doubt but that an act for retiring the fractional currency by the issue ol silver coin will pass the Lower House of Congress. v not us fate maybe in the Senate is difficult to conjecture, As a step to honest resumption, all supporters of a aound and iutnuatcally valuable circulating medium most welcome the measure. Spruce Mountain District seems to be the aeat of trouble. From the telegra pbio reports it wonld appear that a number of meu have been employed by a mining company which baa not the wherewithal to pay its employes. Con sequently there are number of injured and justly angry men. We are glad to note that the telegrams ay that while a considerable mortality among horned stock has taken place in North-eastern aud Central Nevada, that the severe Winter has not been nearly so destructive as at one timo it was sup posed to have been. - 'I. a a r On Presidential matters the Reno Journal observes: We do not say tbat none other than these two men Bristow and Hayes can be elected to the above offices. There may be many others, but we express the belief that they are the strongest. The telegraph informs ns tbat unless change of ministry takes place in the Dominion, the construction of the Can adian Psoiflo railroad .wilt be indefinitely jwatpontd. i A few days since the X. Y. Herald an itouneedtbat ajaurneyman tanner liv ing at Brooklyn had demonstrated by praclioal proof tbat the flesh of dog was excellent and nourishing food. The Winuemmuoca folks must have imme diately adopted the diet, for the Eureka Sentinel says: "Canning dogs is the manner in which the average Winne- mnceain amuses himself duriag the hard times." The Eureka Sentinel is responsible for ths following: Get a McOnary girl thoroughly mad and the fruits ot a careful religious training are not eonspidious in the fury with which sbe unships ber bus tle and wrecks it over the bead of her adversary. If i. V. does not loso the few sing ling remnants of hair on his cranium, then are we uiKUken in the constitution of the average McUcaryite of the feminine persuasion. - The Chinese chapel, wbiob was de stroyed by the bin Cre in Virginia, is to be rebuilt, Mrs. M. A. Grosvenor of New York City having donated money for tbat purpose. Silver City Importer. Mrs. Grosvenor had better devote the money to deporting the Chinese to their own land. Attempting to Christianize thei ; soatN like undertaking to make a afifc pwree'imlof a sow's ear. The Reno Journal advises the As sessors of the several oouuties in which the Central Paclflu Railroad is located to assess the line at a proper figure, aay 19,000 per mile. Good advice and abould be acted onou. In the celebrated Grant Parish cases, appealed from the District and Circuit Courts of Louisiana, the judgment of the latter dismissing the cases has beon affirmed by the Supreme Court ot the United Statu. From the recent decisions rendered by the Supreme Court of the United States, It wonld appear that what is known as the enforcement aothas or will be de clared unconstitutional. Elko county beats the Slate in an nouncements of candidates for county offices. They evidently think it is the early bird catches the worm or gobbles the olUoe. Alps Mill Bullion. Yestorday at Wells, Fargo & Co's express office we observed six bars of bullion from the Alps Mill valued at $8,000. . NEVADA NEWS. It Is proposed to build a wagon road from Dayton to Colnmbns, whioh will be from thirty to fifty miles shorter than tne present route. The Carson Tribune of the 27th says: Some splendid speoimens of crystalized nlpbur were brought in from Steamboat Springs. They are beautiful to look at, aud will make fine cabinet ornaments. Contrary to general belief, aaya the Gold Hill News of the 27th ultimo, there is no anticipation of trouble between the people of the Woodvilie and Justice mines. It is true they have not settled the matter ot their indebtedness, and both eompanies keen a watoh over their machinery and property, but there is ot present uo prospeot of a collision. The Reno Journal of the 29th ultimo states: We have been told that a man by the name of Jaokson bes secured State title to tbat portion of section 3G, on which elands the English mill. Nosing arouud he found they bad never acquired uuy uno, bo ne niaae appuoation and re port says got away with it. If be can Hold it be has made a good buy. In tbe Elko Independout of March 29th we find the following card: A grateful recipient of a peouniary favor at tbe band of our esteemed Governor desires to express through these columns ins appreciation or the unostentatious kindness done him. Innate modesty on tne pari oi tne Dcneuciary prompts liiui to simply tender his thanks, himself re maiuing iu congenial seclusion. Tbe Silver City Reporter of the 28th ult. says: Our reporter happened down atDuytou yesterday just as tbe avant guard of the Bret wood-drive in the Car son arrived at the laudine. The rtresent drive ooutains 15,000 oords pitched into me water near uenoA. x ne Second drive will be one of 30,000 cords from Poison Valley, bead-war-ters of the Carson, and win ue sent down in tbe June rise. From the Reno Journal of Maroh 29th we learn that N, A. Merrill and Fred Gall were yesterday pronounced insane. aud ordered them to bs taken to tbe In sane Asylum at Woodbridge. Merrill's nalluoinatinn consists in imagining him sell in confinement, aud he is too dan gerous to be at large in that he has a suicidal desire and a disposition to injure others. Gail has a desire toward , Incen diarism. The Methodist Episcopal Church So ciety will this week, says the Virginia Chroauole oi tbe 29tb of March, com menoe the erection of a church building uu me uorm-easi corner ot Taylor and Union afreets, and will have it finished by the first of July next. It will be oalled tbe Centennial Methodist Episco pal Church. Tbe dimensions of the auditorium will be 40xtj0 feet, and it will seal 40U people. Tbe cost, exclusive of gas nxtures, will be $13,000. On tba 23d of March B. O. Stowell went to a house in Treasure City, where his wife was liviug, and with an axe smashed in tbe door, and then rudely committed an assault upon his wife, and grasping her arms, in which she held her infant only four months old, in such a manner and w ith such foroe aa to cause tbe infant to full to the floor from the arms of its mother. Ths brute then bade her leave the bouse, and with the assistance of some one wearing the hu man form, foroed the delicate little mother out of the bouse in tbe deep snow and cutting winds of Treaaura Hill to find shelter nuder auotber roof. It further appeared in evidence that owing to tbe cruel treatment on the part of de fendant to bis wife, tbey had mutually separated aome two weeks before this brutal outrage, and the defendant at that time modestly sold the bed-room furni ture to his wife for ita full coin value, and charged her fifty cents for taking it to her new home. The wife is Quite young and delioate, is well ednoated and rennea. The Silver State has the following: The suit Instituted by two oilizens of Sacramento against tbe Board of State Prison Commissioners for the recovery of the prison buildings, aud the land on whioh tbey are situated came up for bear ing in tbe United States Circuit Court at Carson this week. Gen. R. M. Clark and Attorney General Kitrdl, counsel for tbe State, demurred to tbe coxplaiol Tbe demurrer was overruled by tbe Court and tns ease continued until mxt liny, to which time tbe Court adjourned. The plaintiffs claim noasession of the UnJ on wbkh tbe prison is situated by virtue of tbe United States patent. This land wes purchased by tbe State of A. Cnriy. who. we believe, received $90,000 fur ibe pre mises. The question ol Carry's litl was discussed by tbe Legislature which ordered the purchase. Its validity was doubted, but a strong moneyed argument, after the manner of Credit Mobilier, was used in favor of tbe bill, which became a law, only two members, one of whom was W. U. Clegett, who represented Humboldt eoanty at Ibe liiae, voting against it. Since then soverat attempts have been made to indace tbe Legis lature to purcbaso it of the other claimants, none of which were suonsfal and now tbe case is before the United States Circuit Court, for adjudication.
