THE REDEMPTION OP THE FRAC
TIONAL, CCRBEXCT.
The depreciation ex silver means
that thera is no adequate employ
ment for it in the United States. It
is kept doing duty where it is super
abundant, and withheld from circu
lation where it it wanted. There
is a great deal of loose talk about a
resumption of specie payments bnt
no proposition that we have heard of
of a practical beginning of the op
eration. Let Mr. Spinaer be an
tfcorized to advertise his readiness
to bur id all the fractional shin
plasters now floating about the East
ern States, and to paj out trade dol
lars and smaller silver cqnal in fine
ness therewith, and there will be a
beginning mace that will seem
actual, practical, and business like.
Probably, so soon as everybody was
satisfied that a shinplasier was cs
good as the hard chink the hot de
mand for silver would cease. There
it between $40,000,000 and $30,000,
000 of this fractional currency afloat.
It is likely that the redemption of
one-third of that sum would be all
that wonld be demanded. Anyhow,
the present abundance of silver
coinage indicates the point at which
this redemption experiment might
be made with the least trouble.
One year's production such as has
been comics from the Crown Point
and Belcher daring the two years
past would come pretty near placing
the fractional currency on a par with
silver. The problem of getting
creenbacks up to the standard of
gold wonld be another proposition.
Getting the postal currency out of
the way would, however, be an en
tering wedge which might help
Congress to see the way to a larger
result. The botanical fact still ex
ists that large oaks from little acorns
grow.
Colosel EoBErss,Superintendent
of the Enreka mining and smelting
company has been, we learn by the
Sentinel, presented with a gold
mounted cane with feelings of min
gled pride and pleasure on the part
of the donors ; and received the
same with assurances that the gift
was appreciated and highly prized.
We have always admired this well
worn ceremony. It is as harmless
as it is free from all intrusive origin
ality. The Municipal Authorities of New
York demurred to the proposition of
giving public recognition to the
Evangelical Alliance now sitting in
that city. Their objection is that the
Alliance is a Sectarian affair. The
objection is well taken although,
as we suspect, the objectors wouldn't
have found cause for objection if the
thing- to be celebrated were the
Pope's birthday. -
Joseph Abch is to .be. received
with extra honors in Boston. Lie
will probably be marched over the
burnt district, given a" dead head
ticket to see the great organ and
treated to a feest of wind in Fanneil
Hall. - Then with a codfish ball, a
doughnut, a Greek speech by a Har
Yard Professor and a enp of tea his
inner man will be refreshed.
Oxb Charges Cbamxb wa up be
lore Mr. Justice Van Eagen at
Pioche on Wednesday last, charged
with the crime of arson. The cir
cumstances were decidedly suspi
cious ; bnt there was not enough of
direct testimony to justify his hold
ing so he was set at liberty.

of the following iute resting relation :
Hon. P. Ila!. Clavton, Speaker of the
ThiJ House of tbe Nevada IjCyisUture,
who has been sojourning at Belmont for
some time past, acting as counsel lor tne
di-fcnss in tne Sampson murder dial.
arrived from that place hut evening.
We interviewed him and he kindlv fur
nishes us with some facts in connection
with criminal an.i other matters. In the
case of Sampson, charged with the mur
der of one IklcSIalicu, at Duckwatcr, the
jury on the final ballot stood 2 for man-
laugtiter, I tor murder la tna second
decree, 2 for mnrJcr in the first degree
and 7 for acquital. The case was con
tinued for the term bud tne defendant
admitted to bail in tbe sum of $3,000,
wfcie-n was lurninted wita Messrs.
Grimes, Self, Taliman and Sontliworth
as securities. An application for a
change of venue was made, but was
denied by the Court. Mr. Clavton in
forms us that the evidence developed the
fact that MeMahon had frequently made
threats against the Ufa of defeadant and
only 10 davs before the tragedy had sent
the defendant word that he would kill
him. I'nele Hal expresses his belief in
the entire innocence of his client of the
crime of murder and is confident of
securing his acquittal at the next trial of
the case. In the case of Hall, sentenced
to be hanged on the 17th inst., a writ of
supersedeas has beta granted by the
Supreme Court, and a hearing will be
had before that tribunal during the pre
sent term. Mr. Clavton informs us
that there has been a marked improve
ment in the Belmont mines during the
past few weeks; and he expresses great
conndence in the ultimate prosperity oi
tee district.
The Reno Eaces which begin to
day and are to continue for three
days are subject to such a pro
gramme as is indicated by the Jour
nal as follows :
The fall races over the Iteno race
course commence on Tuesdav next, the
7tb inst., and are to continue three days.
On Tuesday, the first day, there will be
a trotting purse of $1-50, free for all
horses that have never beaten three
minutes, mile heats, best three in five.
and a running race for $200, free for all
saddle horses, singl dash of a mile. Un
Wednesday a running race for $300,
mile heats, three in five, free for all, and
a trotting purse for f 200, free for all
horses that have never beaten 3 :15, mile
beats, three in five, and a running purse
of $50, free for all, single dash of a half
mile. On Thursday, a trotting race for
$300, free for all, mile heats, best three
in five, and a running purse of $50, free
for all, of a single dash of a half-mile.
The trotting races will be conducted un
der the rules and regulations of the Na
tional Association, and the running races
under the rules of the California State
Agricultural Society. Entrance fee, 10
per cent, in all the above races, three or
more to enter, two or more horses to
start. Entries will bo closed the day
.previous to the race at 7 p. M. Several
noted horses are here and it is more
than likely that we will have several ex
citing and closely contested races.
It is probable that several of these
horses willl participate in the com
ing Carson races.

Carlton, the Defaulter.
From 'Af irb.-lo'.
A dim-tor of the bank when questioned
npon this subject, said: "I went to the
bank yesterday and at noon inquired for
Mr. Carlton, when some one said that
he'd stepped out a little while before. At
this time there: was a run on the bank,
and Cariton, whose duty it was to be
present and direct iuatt is, was fre
quent! asked for. One and two o'clock
passed, and still Carlton did not appear.
Later, his continued absence created
some anxiety, and myself and others
began to feel oneasT. He came to the
Trust Company so highly indorsed that
we had net the shadow ol suspicion that
he Lad been recreant to his dutv. In
view of the suite of affairs, it was thought
he was out looking after the bait's in
terest and calling in loans. The day's
business was ended at four o elect, and
still Carlton did not appear, when sus
pieions were entertained of something
wrong. This morning the truth came
out that ho was a defaulter." It was
true. Carlton made away with $350,000
in Government securities and railroad
bonds, which were in a safe recently
built, and had sold them. It seems
that the Secretary had been in the bank
about Jive vtars, and had never been
suspected of wrong-eloing. A visit was
paid tohishonse, at No 52 South Oxford
street, Brookltn. It is a handsome
brown-stone front. Three female ser
vants were found there, and they said
that Mr. Carlton had not been seen since
Friday morning, that Mrs. Carlton died
about three wee ks a -o, and that a cousin
of his was taking charse of the two
children. The efforts that have been
made to find Carlton resulted in tracing
biia to several hotels in town, and finally
to Jersey Citv, where he took the New
Jersey Central train.
A Ductal Mcrdeb. Of the recent
killing in Elko county of the "wild
Irishman"-Henrv MeCann-bv Tho
mas M. Jones, the following, which
is the story as told by Carlyle Lowe,
a man in the employ of the Joneses,
describes a very vengeful, passionate
cruel murder. Here is Lowe's story;
Jones, his father, brother and
Lowe were engaged in corraling
some horses that were trespassing on
the former's place, when McCann
walked hurriedly up the road, jumped
over the fence, passed bv Jones, and
when some ten feet from him picked
np a rope which was on one of the
horses, thus preventing the animal
from entering the corral. At this
juncture Thos. Jones fired the first
shot, hitting McCann io the back.
At the report of the pistol the horse
became frightenedand starteel to run,
he wounded man still holding the
rope in his hands, but after going
some 15 feet he fell to the ground,
striking on his bunds and knees.
Jones then went up to him and shot
him three times more, twice in the
back and once in the head, McCann
expiring almost instantly. Some
of the neighbors came np anil took
charge of the body. An examination
of the corpse showed that one ball
had passed through the top of his
head, entering at the back; another
had entered near the left shoulder blade
and came out just below the right nip
ple ; while the fourth ball had entered
the back pari of the right thigh pasg
through the fleshy part. The deceased
had no weapons on his person.
BnoLtm Enxcto. It is evident
from the following story that Mr. Dodge
is not made of the staff which may be
fooled with, with impunity :
Bed Bluff, October 4. Yesterday
boat 4 o'clock r. x. on Pains's Creek,
twelve miles from this place, a shooting
affray occurred in which two brothers
were killed by a Mr Dodge. It seems
that the victims, John and Lee Alberty
went' to Dodge's house, and John Al
berty went to the kitchen door in the
rear of the house with a pistol in his
hand. Mrs. Dodge saw him and ad
dressing him said : " Don't shoot, Mr.
Alberty." 8h then ran off screaming.
Dodge then ran to the kitchen door
when John Alberty fired at him. Dodge
then took np a double-barrelled gun and
fired a shot at John Alkerty from the
rifle barrell, the ball entering at the
lower edge of the scapula on the left
side, passing through the chest and
making its exit from the right breast
Pet ween the second and third ribs, caus
ing instant death. L.ee Alberty was
then some thirty ards from his brother,
and fired at Dodge without effect.
Dodge then turned and discharged the
other barrel of the gun, which was
charged with buckshot, two of the shot
taking effect in Alberty's right arm, one
entering his right breast between the
third and fourth ribs, and the othe-r en
tering the right side. The elilSculty was
about the laud on which the atlray took
placa. Dodge is in charge of the Sheriff.
