Ute parson gailg Appeal CARSON CITY s TkwMlsf - Juurjr Sa, 1874. WHAT SENATOR STEWART IS 1MIC. It has become quite too much the fashion either to ignore onr only sandy haired Senator or to mention hint with sneers and at the further end of the fin ger of scorn. It is needless to say that e do not share in this feeling toward Mr. Stewart; but it is a pretty poor in Testrrent to stand as his friend and vin dicator. As to his being a candidate for reelection, we suppose that that is out of the qrestion. In the first place he is too well aware of his own unpopu larity, (b.orght about, as we beiieve, by a persistent, not to say malignant, course of misrepresentation apd abrse, some what iuviied by his prolonged absence from the State), .in-! in the second place, we i,uess, he is too poor in purse to feel like beiu a candidate. 'Without ku : iDg anything about Lis affairs, and writ ing in ignorance of the result of Lis con nection with mining operations in I'tub, we Tery njnch doubt the flippant stories j of his having amassed ar.y great sum of money from the Emma mine, or to have done anything improper in connection therewith. In short, we believe Stewart to have been a very earnest, iudustilons and efficient representative of Nevada's interests; and we Lave the lest of rea sons for estimating him to be one of the most influential, as he is one of the ablest raenilxrs of the Senate. It is much easier to join iu the general cry of detraction, against Hr. Stewart th.ui to say this much in his favor; but fair pl y isaj-wel; and fair play exacts candor and just estimates. A dispatch from Washington dated Jan. 2G reports the Senator hard at work fcr his constitu ency, as he is herewith reported, namely : A bill was introduced in the Senate this afternoon, by Stewart, t" provide for the incorporation and regulation of railroad companies iu the I'uited States, being the general incorporation bill that j THE SALARY REPEAL BILL. The following is the exact text of the Act repealing the increase of salaries of members of Congress and other officers : "Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in Congress assem bled. That so much of the Act of March 30, 1873, entitled an Act making appro priations for the legislative, executive and judicial expense of the Government for the year ending June 20, lsT4, as provided for an increase in the compen sation of public officers and employes, whether members of Congress or dele gates or others, except the President of the United States and Justices of the Supreme Court, be hereby repealed, and the salaries, compensations and allow ances of all said persons, except as afore said, shall be as fixed by the laws in foice at the time of the passage of said Act; provided, that mileage shall not be al lowed for the first session of the Forty- third Congress, and that all money ap propriated as compensation to members of the r orty-second ongress in excess of mileage und all allowances fixed by law at the commencement of saiJ Col gress and which snail not have been drawn by members of said Congress, or which, having been drawn, have been returned iu any form to the United States, are hereby covered into the treasury of the United States and ate declared to be moneys of the United States absolutely the same as if they had never been appropriated ns aforesaid." The bill was approved by the President last Tuesday. THE SILVER BFLLIO.X QUESTION. C O.VGIIKSSlrtM U.

The suspicion having been set alioi.t that Judge Lander of Contra Costa coun ty came to his death by foul play at the Lands of a Mrs. Chase upon whose porch she found his body, a shrewd writer in the San Francisco '? com ments as follows: We believe, with the Professor at the Breakfast Table, that the end and aim of our institutions are jnst this: that we may think what we like and say what w e think. V.'e have done so and will con tinue to do so in these articles. If we believed that the mysterious and sudden death of Judge Lauder, f Contra Costa county, was owing to his own neglect of duty on the Bench, in failing to decide causes, we should say so. e would not foruet that except iu the rarest of caes the dead are exempt from criticism Dut we woum still liol.l up tuts case as an example and warning to other judges. There niav be no ground for it. but we see that suspicion attributes Judge Lan der's death to the npeucy of a woman whose whole worldly possessions a e in volved in a suit which has been pending before him and his predecessor for four rears, but which seems no nearer a de cision than when the s.?it was first insti tuted. When the veil shall be lifted from this mrstery, if it shall appear that Judge has been stiicken down by the vengeance of a suitor whose patience was exhausted, the Bench will have an admonition none the less impressive be cause it required mu-der to convey it. And if the pending investigation shall, as we hope it will, show that ihedecea ;ed Judge came to his death from natural causes, still the terrible suspicion now aflort e naot fail to have a beneficial e' fect upon a lazy judiciary. Airs. Chese may rot hare taken Judge Lander's life, but there are scores of women in the land, maddened by the law's delay, wl o may, in some ungoverrablemoodwreak awful vengeance on the eru ined authors of their calamity." If they yiold to the terrible temptation, the law will not hold them guiltless, bat many wi'l rise np to proclaim that Charlotte Corday had no greater cans to imbrue her hands in blood. Washington.

The silver bullion question of the Pacific coast now agitates the minds of the Cal ifornia and Nevada Senators and Rep resentatives in Washington. On tne Pacific side of our country silver coin is a drug in the market, while on this side, the Mint at Ph 1 1 e phia cannot sup ly the demand. Ihis mouth the demand for subsidiary coins exceed the supply about $330,000. Iu San Francisco silver coins must bp shipped mostly East for a maeket, and the holder of bullion is fo -ced to sell at a greatly depreciated value. Your i o -respondent is informed by l J Lindenuan, Director of the Mint, that the San Francisco and Carson Mints might easily have coined HALF A MILLION IoLLAI:s Of silver coin more during tin- last month than were coined if then bad be, n a de maud for the increase. Onr Pacifi? in terests suffer a great Joss on account of the depreciation of silvi r. Senators Sargent aud Stewart have been investigating the matter, and wiil urge the Stcrttarv of the treasury to take some action to btuetit ti.e ino rt : of their constituents. How they pro pose to have it done is l.-iitrlv stated as follows: " j tHK LAW. Tile 2stji section of the coinage Act j provides that for two t us a!'t r the pas sage ot tin- Act li. i.rnaty 1.. is.::.) '"silver coins shall be paid out at the Mint in Philadelphia and tli- A-say of fice New York, for silver bullion jmr otiased for coinage, under such leuia tions as mav bo prescribed bv the Secre tary of the Trtasisry."

Mo. tori saitl the Committee on elec tions weie considering the subject, and would report as soon as the resolution was referred to tbe Committee oa Elections. Edmunds gave notice that he would on Thu"-sdav ask the Senate to t ike up tbe Bankrupt lhll The bill to authorize tbe organization of national banks without escalation was then taken up jjorton orleiett as an additional sec tion to his bill uc.thoiizino national banks that have reduced their capita! stock to withdraw a pioportion of their bonds upen reducing their own circulat ing notes and depositing a leal propor tion of lawful money in lien thereof. Thunnan opposed the bill, and did not think Congress had the power to charter banks in th's way without lim itation. llava-d offered an amendment to strike out that part of the bill which au thorizes the o -ionization of banks With out circulation upon depositing with the Treasurer of the United States $10,000 in registered bonds, so that the bill wojld only authorize national banks to withdraw their bonds in excess of $10,000, and national banks to withdraw their bonds on deposit as security for their circulating notes in the amount of $100,000 npon returning to the Comp troller of the Currency lawful money, to be deposited in the Treasury of the L mted btates for tha redemption of an amount of circulating notes of such banks. IICMAN ltFMAINS Fi this from the SShiisla Co il: Last Saturday, while A. Whit.-bread was out on a prospecting expedition, be uns of a man, m the uitcn wnicn was ouce used to convey water to the Fender claims at the head of ' Bnnjiue G'.i'cii." The discovery was repoited to the Coroner, who next day proceeded to the nlare designated, ili.puulii l,ci a jury, and held all iinpiest over the remains. The rlesh of the body had all been eaten away by hogs e-ctitt the feet aud ankles, which we:e encased in heavy boots. A bullet hole iu the skull, just above the left temple, and a revolver found near by wiih one empty chamber, indicated suicide. The evi dence adduced on the inquest showed that the deceased was named Jesus Lo pez, that he was a native of Chiie, and had been missing since the bth of last November. It was also shown that he had been sick and discoursed fur some time previous to his disappearance, and the jury, from all the circumstances known, concluded that the man hud committed suicide, and rendered a ver dict accordingly. Cachise. A letter from J. JenVds, agent of the Cachise reservation, was re ceived by tbe Commissioner of Indian Affairs Tuesday. He says: "The Indians are qniet and in good health. In regard to reminding Cachise of his promise to General Howard not to raid into Sonora, I would state that it is unnecessary, as he has not left his reservation since he made peace, and he has nsed every means to prevent parties from going."
