MORNING APPEAL.
SUNDAY NOVEMBER 25, 1877
Tab Case op Jitdge EL O. Beattt. We
learn from Mr. O. P. Willis that the nature
of the very serious malady at present afflicting
his father-in-law, Judge O. H. Beatty, is
that of a congestive chill. He went to San
Francisco a few days ago and there caught a
severe cold. He had a chill while in that
city, but managed to get home. Since his
return' to Sacramento he has had another
chill, and now he lies quite insensible, or
delirious, and showing symptoms of great
prostration of the nervous system. No tid
ings being received by telegraph from the
Judge, yesterday, it is taken for granted that
at all events he is no worse. Judge Beatty
is 63 years of age and a man of wonderful
energy and great recuperative powers; but we
fear he has overtaxed his rare capacity for
work. -Indeed, so absorbed has the Judge
been for many months in the Sacramento
smelting works, of which he is chief manager,
that he has forgotten hi3 years and growing
infirmities, and overworked himself most
mercilessly. We hope for the best; for there
is no man on the Pacific Coast the superior of
Judge Beatty in all the better qualities of a
good and useful citizen.
New Brand. A new brand of segars has
been placed upon the market which we know
to be the true racket. We tried one yester
day and it burned to the stub in good shape.
That new article is manufactured by Lewis
Brothers of San Francisco especially and par
ticularly for Carson use. The name thereof,
aa per boxes branded, is "Pant's choice.
He of the Ormsberry who is thus nicknamed.
But he chose them and they are good. He
received a thousand yesterday, which are for
sale at his bar and are choice. Warranted
Havana. A wretched, miserable Hebrew
looked at the stock last night and told us the
brand was a Hebrew one and ought to be
read backwards, that is, " Choice Pants,".
but that is a misnomer. We beg to correct
the far-fetched rendering- and assure our
readers that such an interpretation is far
from Mr. P.'s thoughts. Nothing in refer
ence to his pants is intended. The cigars
are the correct thing.
Ormsby County Taxes. We bethought
ourselves last evening to ask Mr. Treasurer
Fraser how he was getting along with the
tax collecting. We ascertained these facts,
namely : The sum total of taxes due under
the revised assessment roll as it came from
the Board of Equalization, is 638,350. Of
this amount the Assessor collected nearly
eight thousand dollars. This left about eighty
thousand for the Treasurer to gather in. Of
this amount he has collected, in round num
bers verv nearly S7o, UUU. lhis leaves a
present delinquency of something like $5,000.
Not any county in the State does better than
this. Times are not so outrageously hard
when the taxes are so closely - collected as
this indicates.
FISH.
Through the courtesy of a handsome gen
tleman over at the capitol we are enabled to
give our. readers the full report of the Hon
H. G. Parker, the indefatigable Fish Com
missioner. People who are not informed
about the lakes and streams of the State may
think this fishy for a dry community, but the
real fact of the matter is that Hub has done
very efficient service in this department, and
the importation of fish and their propagation
in the few waters that we have is a most im
portant industry and one by every means to
ho PTif!riiraTea. It is not a hobby : it is a
business. The following is
j j
the Report : ,
Carson City, Nevada, Nov. 15, 1877.
To His Excellency, L. R Bradley, Governor
of the State of Nevada :
Sir In accordance with the requirements
of Section Seven of an Act of the Legislature
of the State of Nevada entitled " An Act to
nrnvide for the preservation of tish in the
waters of this State," apDroved March 5,
1877, I have the honor to herewith present
mv report.
In accepting the appointment or i ish uom-
missioner 1 round myseir wnouy inexperi
enced in this business and hence study and
correspondence with fish commissioners in
other states seemed requisite before an intel
ligent expenditure of money on my part
could be made.
After corresponding with Professor Spen
cer X. Uaird, United atate3 maa oonimis
sioner at Washington, D. C. , and with Hon
B. B. Redding of the California Fish Com
mission 1 examined tne various laices ana
streams in the western part of this state and
found them adapted to the growth of good
fish.
When I received the Commission the sea
son was too far advanced to commence a "fish
breeding," but I have made arrangements to
stock a small breeding place this winter ; have
also arranged for the procurement of ova ot
the California salmon and Eastern brook
trout, as well as the spawn of other kinds,
and this I find I can do at a very small out-
lav.
Upon the recommendation or the uainor
nia Fish Commission I have stocked Washoe
lake which was entirely destitute of food fish,
with the fish known in California as the
Schuylkill river cat fish," which I procured
. 1 1 e M ' x
in acramento at tne iouowing expense, to
wit :
R. R. fare from Truckee to Sacramento,
$10 ; horse hire at Sacramento, 3 ; hand
bellows. S2 50 : hose.- 82 : ice. S2 ; team
from Franktown to Washoe Lake, S2 50
paid for catching fish at Sacramento, 40,
Total. S62.
The above is the total amount expended
out of the appropriation to carry out the
spirit of said Act.
1 have the honor to be, very respectfully,
your obedient servant. H. G. Parker,
tush (Jommissioner, state ot Nevada.
Since the receipt of the above we learn
that an invoice of perch has been received
and placed in a stream near the city and that
Commissioner Parker has received a letter
from Hon. Spencer Baird, the U. S. Fish
Commissioner, informing him of the ship
ment of white fish from Lake Michigan. It
is intended to place them in Washoe Lake,
Our Fish interests are looking up.
"DEBASING THE CURRENCY.
Civil Service Reform. Doc Pierce left
yesterday with hi3 household gods and goods
for Candelara where he manipulates the U.
S. mail and sits on a three-legged stool as
the "frightful example" of civil service re
form. He has in his pocket a letter from
Counsellor Wren stating that his recommen
dation is endorsed, and a big official letter
from the Department informing him his com
mission will be forwarded in a few dys and
that he " is expected to support the adminis
tration" Oh shade of Nasby ! The Cande
lara office is worth 12 per annum currency.
Who wouldn't be an office holder under
Hayes ?
Steve Gage, the great American wandering
Jew. arrived in the city by the afternoon
train from Virginia yesterday. He has been
to the Great East; has done that enterprising
burcr Eureka, and reports things lively. All
the farming and agricultural persons generaly
interested on the line of the E. & P. and C.
P. railroads express themselves in favor of
the land issue, advocated in the Morning Ap
peal a short time since. There is no doubt
whatever as to the wisdom of the proposed
course cencerning the matter of Government
lands. Steve left last night by the passenger
train for the bay.
Pkof, Gunning. Through a private letter
from Professor Gunning, who is now at San
Jose, Cal. , where he has gone on the advice
of his physicians, we learn that hs is rapidly
recovering and soon expects to return to Vir
ginia and Carson to complete his course of
lectures, which were cut short by his sudden
illness.
We were informed yesterday by an expert
that there were evidence of a rich strike on
the level of the incline on the Ophir. The
level of the incline is good. That is probably
why so many holders got out yesterday. He
also said something about perpendicular drifts
but it was too late. Ophir is down.
A Rich Sunday Dinner. The attention
of those readers of the Morning Appeal who
like good cookery and an abundance of the
good things it produces are directed to the
advertisement of the bill of fare for to-day's
dinner at the old Frisbie Restaurant.
St. Peter's Church (Episcopal). Services
at 11 o'clock in the morning and at 7:30 in
the evening. Sunday school immediately after
morning service. a. u. r oote, itector.
Bullion Wells, Fargo & Co. received per
southern stage two bars of bullion valued at
1,554 47. Light load of passengers and
limited load of freight.
Services in the Presbyterian Church to-day
at 11 a. M. and 7 P. M. Dr. Thompson will
preach in the evening. Sabbath school at
12:15. All are invited.
Editors Appeal : Under the above cap
tion the last number of Harper's Weekly
launches a philippic against the passage of
any Silver Bill, as paving the way for final
repudiation. Now as the defenders of the
double standard contemplate no debasement
of the coin of the Republic, but the opposite,
a purer and higher standard, we think a
journal of the Weekly's circulation and influ
ence, degrades its dignity by begging the
question. It states that New York, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania, made a stand off on
the question; that Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minne
sota, Oregon, Kansas, West Virginia, Nevada,
Virginia, the Carolinas, Alabama, Misssissippi
and Arkansas voted solidly for the remoneti-
zation of silver, and the double standard, with
a greatly preponderating vote in its favor, in
Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Michigan and Cal
ifornia, and that New England voted solidly
against the bill. There are strong reasons
why we do not wish to impeach the motives of
New England. New England has been held
as the leader of the war policy, and the results
of the war, the debt at present being the
most prominent. She may not wish to stain
the record. But we think that her states
men knew that there was an overwhelming
majority in favor of the bill, and they could
receive the benefit without a possible blame.
It is supposed that Mr. Hayes will veto any
silver bill not in accordance with his peculiar
-w- J . 1 . 1 1 1 , .
views, it he taices that course no does it to
conciliate the Radical reserve, and to prevent
the coalition against his policy which even he
can see is a vital force. Uutside ot the for
ests of Maine New England has long been as
similating to the civilization of Western Eu
rope. Every normal resource has long been
developed, and she can do with the gold
standard better than any other part of the
Union. The great states of the Great Basin,
and the states of this Western commonwealth
have spoken. Are not the thousands of
Americans among them as able to judge of
the requirement as Mr. Hayes or the eleventh
hour advisers who are around him Can he
afford to do this after repudiating the policy
of the party who nominated him from the
social and political stand point? Can he af
ford to stand on the financial text of the tradi
tions of the party against the wishes and ex
pected will of the "people" simply to regain
his lost prestige in the vain endeavor to re
concile the irreconciliable 1 Can he afford to
constitute himself a hypercritical critic, on
one point and ignore the rest ? The currency
will not be debased, its intrinsic value will be
greater than that of any other land, and there
will be no room for Factors and Shylocks to
keep capital from its legitimate field of busi
ness, the development of new industries and
the employment of the people, by speculating
in the rise and fall of silver as merchandising.
Does any man suppose that had Australia,
New Zealand, British Columbia and other
points of the British Possessions been silver
bearing, that she would have demonetized
silver? We think not, and as an American
we submit that 'tis time we, as a nation exer
cised some self assertion commensurate with
our resources and our influence among the
nations of the earth. W. K. Weare.

Showers of Meat, Serpenis and Fish.
As proving the truth of the storie3 told in the
book of Exodus, we are reminded as follows:
Kentucky had a shower of edible meat, or
minced frogs, not long ago; Tennessee pro
duced a fall of live six-inch serpents; and now
Canada has matched them both with a shower
of fish, "fine, firm, and of the pickerel
species," the shower extending about three
quarters of a mile in Harwich township, and
the fish being gathered in pails by those who
cooked and ate them. W ere this the first
week in April, we should suspect that these
Canadian fish to be poissons d' Avril; but the
story i3 told by several eve-witnesses who
ought to be credible. Altogether, ancient
history seems to be repeating itself with
variations. As to the murrain of beasts and
the army of locusts, those Egyptain plagues
are only too well known to us.
Caste in India. The missionaries of the
Basel Society made a report as to caste in In
dia which is not in accord with the accepted
idea. They say that caste prejudice readily
gives way before Clhrisuanizing influences,
and natives of different castes intermarry now
so generally that such a wedding excites but
little comment.
Two negroes convicted of murder at a pre
vious term of the Chatham, Ga. , Court, but
to whom new trials were granted by the Su
preme Uourt, have been treed, tne yellow
fever having killed off all the witnesses for
the State.
