TUESDAY DEC. 23, 1879» We transfer to the column* of tbe Herald from the Silver State, published at Wlunemucoa (Nev.l, the remarkable utterances of Sena tor Sharon to a reporter of that Journal. Since the savage speech of that minister of war of Louis XVI., who, when told tbat tbe peo ple were starving, replied, " let them eat grass," we have beard of nothing so brutal from the lips of a public man. This " capper" for a strong government and for the dominance of mere money, is at no pains to beat about the bush. Sprung himself from the humblest ranks of tbe people, in tbe inso lence of a plethoric bank account, he presumes to employ language whioh Bismarck, " the Prince of blood and iron," would not dare to use. It is safe to say that a public man who, twenty years ago, had expressed himself as Sharon does, would find the United States too hot a country to live in. Flown with wine, perhaps, and taken off his guard, we have in these curt and ferocious outgivings of a man who has had merely the knack of making money a glimpse of the as pirations of a class of influential Republicans who bave long been restive at the restraints of a Repub lic The very presence of tbis man Sharon in the Senate of the United States has been a standing scandal. Really a citizen of San Francisco, he has procured himself to be elect ad Senator from Nevada by tbe criminal use of money, and be has the hardihood to boast of his abili ty to repeat tbe infamy. During the five years of bis occupancy of one of the Senatorial chairs of Ne vada, he has hardly put in an ap pearance at Washington. When his party friends, as ibey had a right to do, at a great political crisis, telegraphed for him to go on and give them the benefit of his vote, he is popularly credited witb replying by telegraph that they might go to h—ll. Exuding tbe vulgarity which is so often con spionous in the " newly rich," he presumes to look down upon the honest masses who earn their live lihood in the sweat of their brows. It will be an interesting study to watch bow tbe Nevada Republi oans meet this scoffer at the wor thy poor, this defender of grape ■nd oannlster for the masses, who presumes to speak flippantly of the pretensions to public station of bet ter and abler Republicans than himself. Should William Bharon be re-elected to the position which he has so signally disgraced, espec ially after such an Infamous declar ation of his real sentiments, Ne vada will sink low indeed. His out givings are sufficiently significant, considering the fact that Sharon is one of the inner circle of rich men who surround Grant and dictate all his movements, to attract the at tention and indignation of tbe whole people of the United States. Rarely indeed have we seen a handsomer publication, from a ty pographical etandpoiut, than the Semi-Tropic California and South ern California Horticulturist. Every detail of its mako-up Is high ly artistic and fully up to the standard of the best work in Eu rope or the East. It is devoted to a useful purpose and is in the hands of very energetio meu, who can be of great service to this section ..nd who desire, as we believe, to do all the good in their power. Having oonceded the strong points of this new publication, which we heartily desire to see succeed, we trust we may be indulged iv a line or two of the gentlestcrltlcisnj. It is desira ble not only that Los Angeles should be known abroad as tbe home of tbe vine and the orange, of the pomegranate and the olive, but likewise as a region where a certain regard Is paid to the rules whioh govern the King's English. The editors of the Semi-Tropic Cal ifornia may "set" down to dinner, but the ordinary run of Angeleflos "•It" down to tbat important meal. The Messrs. Carter and Bice should study op the distinction, with a difference, which exists between the words "immigrant" and "emi grant." We desire to welcome im migrants, but heaven forefend that we should ever have to chronicle a Urge emigrant element as a feature of our dally experiences. Weoall the attention of tbe publishers to the necessity of a rigid attention to the literary features ot their maga zine, because a monthly publica tion ought to be characterized by a nicety and exactness which are not looked lor In daily papers and other periodicals which are thrown off more hurriedly. A little atten tion to these thiugs will make us proud of our only magazine and cause us to hall its extended circu lation with pleasure. The Silver King is the finest mine yet developed in Arizona. It Is but in tbe infancy of its career, and many very sagacious miners expect to see it ranked as one of the phenomenal mining properties of tbe coast. Judged by standards other than such as are embodied iv heavy assessment rolls and no counterbalancing dividends it would be a losing venture to swap off the King for two or throe miles of the pretentious Comstock lode. From a letter to the Daily Mock Report, which we publish else where, it will be seen that the King 1« prepared to make an aiton isuing exhibit during the coming year. Col. James M. Barney, the principal owner of the mine, has been subjected to a great deal of adverse orltlcistu because he has not favored the "hogging" system nf developing a mine. Instead, be has gone on and done solid, con scientious work, which will prob ably result at uo distant day iv a resumption of dividends on a per manent plan. The King has dem onstrated itself to be a true fissure vein of immense richness and ex tent. It is now opened to a depth which will admit of a coustant working of tlie heavy milling facil ities with which it will soon be supplied. In addition to the ten stamp mill which has been in use hitherto, the surveys are being made for a thirty-stamp mill. By the improved method of milling wbicli has been Introduced the tail ings alone will yield hundreds of thousands of dollars. Take the mine for all iv all, we know of no more promising property on the Pacific Coast tbau the King. Were its career lo end now, even, there is scarcely a mine ou the Slope that can boast a more brilliant record. It came just in the nick of time to inspirit prospectors and to dispel the gloom which the failure in working the Vulture and Tiger lodes hud oast over mining In Ar izona. Gen. Stoneman yesterday re ceived his commission as oue of tbe Board of Indian Commissioners and forwarded his acceptance to Washington. After an examina tion of the law ho finds that he can accept the Federal appointment, as no salary is attached to it. The law creating the Board provides that its members shall be sought for amongst the able aud philan thropic citizens of the United States. The Comtnisrou will in volve a couple of trips to Washing ton during the year, and ouly the aotual expenses of the Commis sioners, oertified under oath, are defrayed by the government. Gen. Stoneman announces it to be his purpose to advocate the purchase of supplies for tbe Indians of the Pacific Coast on this Coast, instead of, as at present, In Philadelphia. It begins to look very much as if the English disaster of 1811 in Af ghanistan is about to have its coun terpart. Of the whole British army which penetrated to Cabul at that time but one man returned to tell the tale of the slaugh ter. Cutoff from Immediate aid, with his communications broken, in the midst of tbe severities of Winter at high mountain altitudes, the situation of the British army of occupation is Indeed a precarious oue. The fact that Cabul itself has been wrested from ils bands con tains a world of melancholy signif icance. The Bepublicad Board of Super visors of San Francisco are begin ning well. They have the thing all to themselves aud already the an cient and fish-like smell of certain rank old jobs begins to pervade tbe atmosphere of theGoldeuGate. Ru mors are also becoming rife of cer tain little jobs which the new Re publican Legislature has on the tapis, such as the extensiou of the terms of office of Republican coun ty officials to three years, etc., etc. That party, or we are much mis taken, will emit a savory odor by the elections next Fall. Tub Christmas numbers of the Ban Francisco weeklies, notably of the News-Letter and the Illus trated Wasp, are very ambitious and creditable efforts. The steady Improvement of tlie lust publica tion has excited general attention. Its Christmas carol, "The Bell of the Cross." from a mechanical standpoint is a triumph of the typo graphic art. It is good to see tbe blessed and genial day so pleasant ly anticipated. LAST NIGHT'S NEWS. PACIFIC COAST. KTOCK RUPOiIT HJAN KKANCWOO STOCK ANli BX- OnANGB HOARD. uoKHmo session.

Washington, December 22d.— Representative Belford, of Color ado, predicts tbat the House will yet consent to tbe removal nf the Utes from Colorado to the Uintah Reservation, across the border iv Utah Territory. He also says that there will be a lively debate . when the question Comes up again after the holiday recess, to which he Intends to contribute by payirg bis respects to Conger's reoeui< speech in the light of tlie history of Michigan. He has liuuttd up offi cial records exhibiting tbe course pursued towards tbe Indiana c f Conger's own State, as follows: Iv 1856 a treaty was made with the Ottawas and Chippewas, of Mich igan, numbering about 6,000, by which several reservations were set apart for them ou tbe islands of Lake Michigan, aud iv seven coun ties of that Wtate, upou which they wero allowed to locate eighty aores per capita; but in 1872 the greedy Micuiganders induoed Cou gresg to violate the treaties and open up tbe reservations lo pre emption and homestead settlers. The Pottawattomies of Huron, lo- oated iv Conger's Congressional District, were settled among matsh es and sand knolls, and were iv a starving condition, although they used ta dominutetbe councils of all the ludlaus of the Northwest. Bel ford also says he has found reports ou file in tbe Interior Department which show that the godly people of Michigau not only wanted to get rid of the noble red man, but also sold bad whisky to them. All this, and more of the same character, be will ask Conger to explain before indulging in further reprobation of tbe people of Colorado, as unjusti fiably solicitous for the removal of the Utes to a good location else where. Humors are current tbat a com promise is likely to be affected be tween tbe bard and soft money wings of tbo Democracy iv Con gress by agreeing to adopt a resolu tion providing substantially tbat from aud after the expiration of National Bank charters in 1883, the ouly legal tender currency of the country shall be gold and silver coin, and that tho government alone shall issue the paper money required for purposes of commerce In the form of treasury notes uot legal tender, except by special con tract, but receivable for its dueß aud redeemable in coin; it being also provided that oue-third of the amount of such outstanding notes bo kept In the treasury In coin. Careful Inquiry fails to discover any fonudation for this widely cir culated report, except tbe confer ences of a comparative!}' lew Dem ocratic Senators, and there seems to be very little probability or any such agreement iv the party at large, although some such rssolu* tlou will undoubtedly be brought rorward for discussion after the re assembling or Congress, aud it may bave the effect of forciug tbe fight upou the National Bank question, which tbe majority of both parties bave heretofore apparently wished to avoid. Colonel Deabua, late Collector of Customs etc., ln Alaska, publishes aletter tiiat several members of tbe Senate Finance Committee, uame- ly, Senators Bayard, Voorhees, Al lison, Morrill, Keruau, Ferry and Beck, bave uniteJ in a request to Secretary Sherman tbat a position iv the Government, commensurate with his capacities, be giveu bim, in political recognition of the wrongs which he says have beeu done him, aud of which, he adds, he has personally made frequent, though uncuccassfut, complaint.

Alter that he took from her pocket the keys and ransacked the house. A quan tity of wearing apparel and $230 iv cafali were the pluuder obtained. Uov.tStaiiruril'ii Iluraea Coiuluic. Omaha, Dec. 22J.— Two car-loads of thoroughbred horses, recently purchased for Leland Btauford, of Ban Francisco, at a cost of about $45,000, left this city to-day, after a day's rest here, for San Franclsoo, ou the regular express train. They will be rested a day or two at Og deu. The horses were bought for Governor Stanford by his private agent, li. H. Covey, of .Lexington Ky., and Nashville, 1\ un.
