MORNING APPEAL.
TIII KSDAY JA.M ARV 31. 1S78
CONGRESSMAN PRICE ON THE SILVER
QUESTION.
We are indebted to the Hon. Thomas
Wren for :i oojiy in pamphlet of a speech
at-iivereti in the House of Representatives
"ii Jair. 1T by Hon. Hiram Trice of Iowa, on
the ipiestion of the remonetization of silver.
We quote as follows from the body of the
gentleman's remarks: "Rut, Mr. Chairman,
there is another mode of warefare which these
p .!d men no resorted to that I am sorry to
1 compelled to notice. Not satisfied with
controlling the press in these money centers,
they have by some means been able to enlist
the services of certain gentlemen of the sacred
calling. This I think they will find has been
unfortunate for their cause,"for these gentle
j'ten of the cloth have exhibited so much bad
temper and swell utter ignorance of the
riuestion, that ,i:i placu of assisting,
they have injured their cause.
A gentleman in Brooklyn, by the name of
I Seedier, with a prefix of reverend to his
name, has taken up the cudgels for the dwell
ers of Wall street, and has exhibited about as
much ignorance upon this (question as can
well be crowded into one sermon, for it must
be remembered that he is a preacher.
from the im!:it, and
in a book, (this book sir, which I
my hand.) and sends it to
heathens to admonish and waiv
we o not astray. l!uf, sir from
character of his talk we are led
that he is just the kind "f kvui t!i:

The reverend gentleman has certainly suc
ceeded in all except the nailing, although, he
t.k for his text the sixth and seventh verses
of the twelth chapter of I Samuel, which, if
any one will look at, 1 think he will conclude
;i ditterent sermon luight be pivne'ued fruit.
Mr. Reeciier informs us r.hai "g'tld is the
standard in Asia, Africa, Europe, and Amer
ica, north, south, east ami wes thus iiK-'ud-ing
the whole known world, wlien the facts
are that 7o!V44,45 of the population of the
world use exclusively and entirely silver as their
standard, and !o7,:tXUX) "se both gold and
silver, and or.lv about 100,000,1)0 ) use a sin
gle gold standard. In this statement I have
not included the United States.
Now, am I not justified in saying that this
reverend gentleman, in making the sweeping
statement above referred to, either wickedly
stated what he knew to be false or else adver
tised himself to the world as a consummate ig
noramus on this question that entitles him to
the contempt or every man who nas ever
iven the subject any thought Then having
settled that, question I suppose to his entire
satisfaction, he proceeds to tell ns what kind
of men these are who wish to remonetise silver.
He describes them, in his own chaste and
classic language, as "bull-headed, without
eyes, endeavoring to undermine the integrity
of the nation;" and says they deserve an in
famy as deep as the lowest dc.hsof hell."
He further says that we are "miscreants,"
and that this attempt t remoneti.e silver "is
a high crime and misdemeanor, and if men in
Congress do not know it? what are they there
for !" Yes sir, what are we here n . ' Why
not vacate our seats, and give place o such
men as this reverend gentlemen, whose
record is so clean, whose reputation so un
blemished, who has never been lief, re the
church and the world in any equivo- .tl posi
tions. He would be the man to 'ix all tin" ..
for he certainly has an expeI - e in a c . -tain
direction that I persumc no man w:'
supports this silver bill can boast of. Rut n,
is a little surprisng, I think, that his rever
ence should consign us to hell, for, if the
papers report him correctly, he has abolished
r at least desulphurised that institution. It
is possible, however, that upon this subject
the wish is father to the thought, produced by
personal considerations." The idea of a "de
sulphurised hell" i3 a good one, and especially
referable to Beether's pesposterous whimsey.
CHINAMEN WHO WANT TO "GO WEST."
Luttrell, the Unwashed, "ras had his stri
dent voice heard, of the House Committee on
Labor and Education. He spoke upon the
Chinese Question. He is said to have out
Kearneyed Kearney. We do not believe it.
Dennis Kearney may be a red-mouthed blath
erskite, a red-handed incendiary, and a red
headed, red-whiskered and red-nosed Aus
tralian agitator, unnaturalized and unclean,
but he is no such "a man as Luttrell. The
Committee seem to have been conscious of
this fact and to have treated him as if it were
better for the sake of a pleasanter atmosphere,
to sit with each man his handkerchief at his
nose, and some active disinfectants sprinkh ".
about. No. Kearney is no Luttrell, he i.. a
vaporing, noisy mobocrat, but he hasn't got
down quite to the bottom.
Mr. Joseph A'. Crawford, of Santa Monica
has been before the House Committee on Pa
cific Railroads to give his testimony against
the Southern Pacific R. R. He and Hunting
ton seem to have had some pretty sharp talk.
The object of his testimony is to show that
the rates of fare and freight on the said rail
road are oppressive, extortionate and ruinous.
Huntington is to reply to-day.
Secretary Sherman gives up the silver light
as practically won. He says it will have the
eventual effect of sinking gold out of sighi
and appreciating greenbacks at the expense of
silver. Maybe he is prejudiced. It is now
thought that the President, will not have the
courage to veto the bill. Rut meannessif ten
times does things that valor would shrink
from doing.
Mint business is lo. iking np. There is a
very decided demand for trade dollars, not
only in San Francisco but in the Eastern
money market. This, which we extract from
esterday sounds encourag-
igi will be then continued at
iii Carson, and all three Mints
suliieient to keep them fully
employed until Congress acts definitely on the
silver bill. The Dhector of the Mint consid
ers it important to retain the present skilled
force of workmen at the mints, in view of the
lending legislation regarding silver coinage."
Complaints have reached the Indian Depart
ment from Utah against contractors who strip
the mountains of valuable timber, oppress the
people and feather their nests at the expense
of the public good. These contractors have
been engaged in supplying the U. P. Railroad
with cordwood, ties, and " shakes " for snow
sheds, etc.

The coinage of "JO cent pieces is to be dis

ch. , lge in these States of the Pacific might in

o of the jurors in Returning Roard An-
it's case at New Orleans are reported to
b : " .utelligent mulattoes with no politics.'
It i .m be said that an "intelligent mulatto"
wi. ) is without any political convictions and
who lives in a State within whose borders his
kinsmen and race have but just emerged from
the very worst condition of slavery is either
an idiot or the pliant tool of his recent mas
ters. In either case he is unfit to sit on a
jury of any kind involving either life, liberty
or property. In this case the "two intelli
gent mulattoes"' are a sop thrown to the blub-
bersome whale of Northern doughfaceism.
Ren Rutler has iust administered a whole

men who took upon themselves the task of

I'.ODIE DISTANCES.
A correspondent of tho Territorial Enter
prise, writing from Eureka, pitches a fire
brand into the Democratic camp by talking
in the following strain:
The ranks of the un terrified by no means
present an unbroken front to the enemy, and
the Democracy of the R;ise Range are torn by
internal dissensions and schisms that prevent
that harmony that should characterize their
councils. Governor Rradley and his third term
aspirations is the firebrand that threatens them
with disorganization and defeat. A clique of
local politicians, known as the Prairie duChien
crowd, of whom Senator Raker is the leading
spirit, backed up by such "Chivs" as Crit.
Thornton, Rroadhorns' former Private Secre
tary, with a following of persimmon-eate -s
from Dixie and cattle-herders from Missouri,
are engineering the old mail's fight, and arro
gantly proclaim their ability to send a delega
tion to the State Convention favorable to his
aspirations. It may lk, possible that they will
succeed; but I opine from the present, outlook
that their chances are none of the best.. The
intelligent portion of the party look upon it as
a cow county fight, so to speak, and believe
that his election would be detrimental to our
one leading industry, and his hostility to the
mine owners a drawback on our future pros
perity. -Raker's chief anxiety is to prove by
the re-election of Rradley that the people in
dorse the course of the anti-compromise fac
tion ami his (Raker's) claim to leadership.
Since his return from his legislative labors at
Carson last Winter this egotistical demagogue
lias actually imagined that he occupied that
proi.il position, and, as 1 mentioned in a for
mer letter, aspired to the oiiiee of Attorney
General. He has, ho.vever, weakened on that
proposition, a quiet intimation from head
quarters relegating turn to a back seat. ami his
present ambition is to return to the State Sen
ate. He cast an eye to the District Judge
ship, but that position required mibic slight
knowledge of law, a fact that turned his oifee
seeking itch into another channel.
Higerman, of Reno, has a number of ar
dent supporters among tiie Democracy, and
will be backed by the element antagonistic to
the Rradley ring. This faction outnumber
their opponent, ami it is my opinion tha they
villi control the light. It is a very pretty con
test as it stands, and promises to make things
very lively next Summer.
LATEST BYTELEG RAPH
A Lynx that is Harp to Catch. Of a
tough customer of a varmint whose depreda
tions rendered his capture a necessity to the
welfare of certain sheep and lambs, the Silver
State of Tuesday says: A monster lynx, rep
resented as being larger than any dbg in town,
was caught in one of Pat Hell's traps up the
river night before last. Yesterday Messrs.
Fisk and Rell went to look at the trap, and,
greatly to their surprise and disgust, saw the
lynx run off with the trap and chain, having
broken a strong wire by which the chain was
fastened to a bush. Rell is now after the
monster and expects to catch him alive, or at
least get a chance to kill him.
Ar.sijtATri.ATEn. The Silver State of Tues
day has the following statement concerning a
young man and his delinquencies: "It is re
ported that Frank Swift, of Rattle Mountain,
agent for the firm of' W'llsey A: Smith, of
Elko, has overdrawn the bank account of the
Rattle Mountain branch of the firm, and
used all available funds of the firm for his
own purposes, and fled the country. Stocks
are supposed to have led him into temptation.
He lost, was ruined, and to escape being ar
rested left for parts unknown. As he took
the safe key with him,, the extent of his de
falcation is yet unknown."

The Silver State of Monday has the follow
ing account of the rather iiuusu il spectacle of
a gang of mutinous Chinamen mutinous, it
seems, from something very like homesick
ness: "About forty Chinamen have been en
gaged for the last two or three months in
grading a yard and laying side tracks for the
railroad company south of the depot. Three
days ago their work was completed and the
Road Master was instructed to send them to
Carlin. Cars were provided to take them up
the roail by Station Agen' Young, but they
refused to go in that direction, and would not
obey orders. The head man of the gag,7,ho
acts as interpreter, offered '. it: Young 8100 if
he would send them west, 'nit he, having no
discretion in the mutter, informed them that
lie could not comply with their wishes. They
xeein firmly determined not to go up the road,
and at !ast accounts positively refused to get
(in the cars. Many of them have been work
nig on the railroad for several years and hav
ing secured a 'home stake' want to return to
China. Though generally docile and submis
sive the Chinese are at times as obstinate as
mules and refuse to be pe.su vie 1."
Py the RoJie Standard we are informed as
follows of the distances from station to sta
tion on the road between Carson and that
point: "The exact distance from Virginia to
Rodio has been a much disputed point by
teamsters and others traveling the road
Through the kindness of H. C. Rlanehard,
who has frequently measured the entire road
with an odometer, which he attaches to the
hub of his buggy-wheel w hen traveling, we
are enabled to give the exact distances, by
the Carson and Aurora road, as follows:
From Virginia City to Carson, l." miles; froi.
Carson to the Twelve-mile House, 1! and 0-10
miles; from the Twelve-mils House to Carter's
Station, 7 and ."-10 miles; from Carter's Sta
tion to the Mountain House, 7 and 3-10 miles:
from the Mountain House to Wellington's,
l'J and 12 miles; fr- ;i Wellington's to Sul
phur Springs, 12 and 1-2 miles; from Sulphur
Springs to the J unction House, 12 miles; fom
the Junction House to Aurora, G and C-10
miles; from Aurora to Rodio, 10 miles; total,
102 and 8-10 miles. (The distances from sta
tion to station as given above can be depended
upon as correct, but the reporter evidently
omitted one stretch of about 20 miles from
Williams' to tha Junction.)" I
W ashington, January lit). Coster who was
nominated pension agent for New York to-day
said to be a friend of Conkling, was not c.m
s'ilted regarding the appointment.
The Cabinet considered New Orleans mat
ters yesterday, and although tho President
said little, it was understood that h would
procure a fair trial for the Returning Hoard.
It was understood also that no interference
with the process of the State courts would be
attempted.
Hillard will undoubtedly be confirmed as
Minister for Brazil, for all the Democrats and
Christiancy and Matthews will vote for him.
It is currently stated that Conkling has
become possessed of the dispatches which
passed between Washington and Co. tubus
the last week in February a year ago, regard
ing the policy which Hayes proposed to pur
sue toward the South and the Cabinet he pro
posed to form, if declared President. If these
dispatches are made public they will be very
interesting reading to some gentlemen whose
names were suggested for Cabinet positions,
especially Judge Davis of North Carolina,
who was at one time virtually agreed upon
as the representative of the South in the
Cabinet, but who was speedily set aside, on
the authority of one of the Washington tele
grams to Columbus.
