Mining TitIcs.

The Colorado Mining Journals opposed
to Congress meddling with mining titles,
and is opposed also to State Govern
ment. Itnotices the announcement that
Conness had. shortly before the adjourn
ment of Congress, introduced bill pro-
viding for the sale of gold. silver and
quicksilver mines to occupants, and says:
"Just as we said, yesterday. The miner
has only these ofiicious fellows in Congress to
fear, In connection with his mining titles.
Who has proposed to disturb existing regula-
tons, with which all are satisfied, but the
Nsaos, the Register and their prompters, the
State men, Senator CONFESS, Delegate Ben
net, etc., etcs No one. The miners are
coutented with mining titles as they are, and
il is TO the interest Of every one Of them that
they be not interfered with. Make Colorado
State, and as her mines are her only real
source Of wealth, we shall directly have an
effort on the part OF these men to have them
sold, that they may be taxed. Every one
must see the bad effect OF this agitation with
! regard TO mining titles at present 1t will
! create a sense OF insecurity, which, super
| added to manifold other difficulties Of no or
binary magnitude, will turn the attention of
capitalists in other directions, and discour-
age the explorer and ,prospector. The men
| who wish to institute chaos In the mines are
working for State organizations, and so sure
az they accomplish the one, they will the
! other"

THE ANNEXATION" SCHEME.

A few persons in this county, who, sick
at heart az the wretched condition of the
affairs of the Territory, arewilling to grasp
at any measure which seems to offer pos
sibility of relief. are talking about annexa-
ton of this Territory to the State of Cali
fornia. They seem to have given no
thought to the modas operandi of such an
act. They do not seem to be aware that
for the consummation of such proceed
ing the consent of three parties would be
neeessary-the United States and Califor-
MIA, as wei as the people of this Territory.
Without arguing at all the policy of such
movement, it is only necessary to look at
its improbability to discourage all discus
sion of the question. How it is looked
upon in California may be gathered in
measure from the following article from
the Sacramento Union of yesterday:
"Over in Washoe times are hard, and the
sage brushers are gloomy. We learn that
the people are even contemplating Territorial
suicide; they want to see Washoe annexed
to California. The supposed object Of this
movement is to get rid OF an obnoxious Ja-
dietary. Assuming that the vie stains put
upon the ermine are not imaginary, and that
judicial reform is badly needed, the movers
in the annexation scheme are going long
way round to reach point to which there is
short road. To carry out this project the
washoe people would be compelled to pro-
cure the concurrence of Congress and the
State of California. Even if Congress should
assent next Winter, we should object to call
ing an extra session of the Legislature Of this
State to consider the proposition. But there
is no reason to suppose that Congress would
fayos the project. There is no president for
it-no satisfactory exhibition Of reasons fol-
/ it. But Congress could and would, no doubt,
/ abolish the Court, If the charges against j,
were substantiated, and sanction other
changes that might be considered desirable
By the residents Of the Territory. Meantime,
the gloomy idea Of suicide ought to be dis
missed altogether. II Washoe be as rich in
mineral resources as her people say she is,
/ there must come resurrection IN stocks, and
1 even wildcat may be again galvanized into
6tful activity. Prosperity will return as CAPT.
talists regain confidence in the mines, and
then Nevada will grow into a healthy State

TIE CONGRESSIONAL NoMTgA-
TIoN-A SwINDLE ON THE
PEOPLE.

The farce performed yesterday at Car
son in the nomination of a Congressional
Delegate was most unmiigated thimble-
rigging swindle upon the people; it es-
cites the indignation of the whole commu-
nifty, and unless we are wofully mistaken
it viii meet with such MASKING out
at the polls next month that Mr.. Fitch
won't know that he has been in the can
yass. Against Mr.. Fitch, personally, we
say nothing. 1t is drawing it very mild,
however. to say that that gentleman is not
the choice of the people of Nevada Terri
tory for the position for which he has been
nominated. That Convention was no rep
resentation of the people, and so far as
Storey county was concerned, the people
never sent any delegation to Carson at all:
A back-ofiee trick. unknown to political
usage, was Matched up by few schemers,
in Virginia. which efectually gagged the
popular voice. and the petty clique had
the thing all their own way. 1t has been
the custom. always and everywhere, where
political conventions are known, for
County Conventions to elect delegates to
State Conventions. The three-eard-monte
sharps who took charge of and controlled
the Central Committee and its call, by an
ingenious wording of that call, provided
for the election of delegates to the Terri
torial Convention. directly by the people.
Such an unheard Of and undreamed of
proceeding completely caught the people
mapping. To be sure, it was stated IN the
call, but so craftily was it "rung in" and
so totally unsupported that it was COM
pletely overlooked. In this town, it was
late in the day before the trick was dis
covered-too late for concert of action and
for remedy. Only one ticket was IN the
field for delegates to the Territorial Con-
vention, and of these only eight were voted
among the seven hundred voters at the
primary election. This ticket was, of course,
the cut and dried Fitch ticket, concocted in
secret and cautiously kept back, and quiz
city sprung upon the people at too late
an hour for defeat. The people of this
Territory have stood great deal of nom
sense, great deal of trickery, and great
deal of wrong, but this last operation
cuts entirely too fat. 1t is not to be sup
posed that with such candidate and
one thus nominated, held up as the can
didate of the Union party of the Territory,
he will be allowed to walk over the course
without competitor. Not bit of it.
There will be opposition, beyond all sha-
dow of doubt, and when the day of cleo
ton arrives, let the people, by an over
whelming vote, seal their condemnation
of this contemplate and rascally fraud,
and send to Congress some substantial
citizen who will not only represent their
interests faithfully, but viii in his own
person and character represent the re-
spectability of his constituency.

MOB Law.

The recent hanging affair at Dayton
, has. as matter of course, caused some
little excitement, and more than little
of the discussion upon the merits and de-
merits of that method of procedure which
generally follows transactions of the kind.
It would be difficult to maintain any very
powerful argument in favor Of mob law
as theory or code to govern a civilized
people: but we. who have in our time
seen good deal of that sort of thing, have
noticed that wherever and whenever there
has been an execution Of the kind, the
act has been either directly and openly
defended or quietly winked at by the
great majority of the local population.
We are not speaking of things as they
should be but of things as they are;
merely specializing upon fact and not
discussing theory. We have further, in
our somewhat extended experience, noted
another fact; and that is that ''mob-law"
is resorted to with frequency that bears
exactly an inverse proportion with the
confidence reposed in the regularly consti-
tuted courts. In those old countries, where
the law IS properly administered, and
where punishment follows crime with the
certainty that the thunder succeeds the
lightning, such circumstance as the
hanging of criminal by the mob is un-
known. In newer countries, where the
administration of the law is lax, and
where one passes, at every street corner,
an individual who "has killed his man"
and has been cleared BY the farce Of
trial, or as is too often the case, has never
been tried at all, there we find smob-law"
occasionally resorted TO, and when re-
sorted to. justified by the silent acquies-
ceace Of the community. In the abstract,
the principle is and must be condemned
by every thinking man; but in each special
instance. it happens, somehow or other,
that there are circumstances which justify
it in the minds of those same thinking
men. That this ought not be SO, we can
argue as well as anybody; that it Is so.
we know TO dead moral certainty. The
people see the fact and they know the root
of the evil. The fault is with the courts.
Try and obtain better courts. We have
spoken.

THE Nsws.-The report that the Army Of
the Potomac was about to return to the Poto-
mac to recuperate and re-organize, proves to
be superb humbug. 1t originated from the
fact that 10000 troops have been ordered
back, not to re-organize but to drive Early
out Of the Shenandoah Valley, and interrupt
rebel raids into Maryland and PENNSYLVANIA.
Because Grant has not taken Petersburg or
Richmond is certainly no evidence that this
campaign is failure, or that his army needs
reorganization. His army is strong enough,
after Withdrawing 10000 troops for his pur-
pose, Ifnot, it can be steadily reinforced by
volunteers. 1t would be downright slaughter
to put the one hundred day men against the
veterans from Lees army. The telegraph
occasionally brings US some very silly news,
but this last is the most sublime essence OF
inconsistency appeal

EVILS ESPECIAL LEGIsLATIoS.-Among
the errors of legislation committed by the
last Congress, is the excessive taxation
placed upon stock sales, and similar specu-
lations, almost exclusively INDUCED in by
Wall street fnanciers. The immediate eff
feet Of this legislation is being experienced
by the people in manner that brings the
matter directly home to all who eat, drink,
and wear the products Of the soil, or the re-
suits of human labor. Instead of continuing
to initiate the price Of stocks by competitive
buying and selling, the Wall street gamblers
have turned their attention TO meat and Hour,
dry goods and other commodities, OF which
they purchase large quantities, and hold
them at prices far above the real value. The
consequence is, that every man, woman and
child, who must eat or perish, is compelled
to pay tribute TO these spectators. Within
the past two weeks, the City Banks have dis
counted large amount Of notes, known In
those institutions as Produce paper" The
proceeds are invested in corn, oats, wheat,
-four, sugar, coffee, beef, pork, wool, &C., or
are used for making advances on similar ar
ticles until few individuals control the en-
tire market and regulate the prices TO suit
their consciences, without regard to the ne
cessities OF. the people who consume these
commodities. II is true that the laws OF
trade must eventually regulate this enormous
speculation, and as a consequence the prices
Of these goods fall or rise in accordance with
the legitimate demand. Poor people cannot
wait for that good time to come. Their me-
cessities are Immediate and pressing, hence
they pay four prices now for an article, that
in month or more, when the gamblers drop
it, may be obtained at lower rates. Then, it
will be for the interest of the fnanciers to
press down the market, until they>can again
absorb the supply. and once more increase
the prices. II will thus be seen that the
! special legislation Of Congress is inficting an
injury upon legitimate trade Of all kinds, with
out obtaining the end sought for, when hea-
Wy taxation was laid upon sales Of stocks
and other securities. True craftsmanship
would not have interfered with the gamblers.
They would have been permitted TO enrich or
beggar themselves according to their oppor-
tunities, while the Government, pursuing
the even tenor Of its way, would have been
content to raise a revenue from more .legiti-
mate sources than the precarious one deriv-
ed from a tax upon the transactions of I'M
scrupulous gamblers.-N. Y. S,,i.

TIE PETITION.

The list of names signed to the petition
calling upon Judges North, Turner and
Locke 10 resign, numbers nearly four
thousand, and occupies now six double
columns Of the Enterprise. The Uaioa
is wrathy about it. 1t says "not one in
ten of the prominent business men have
signed it." How true that assertion is,
let any one look at the list and see for
himself. 1t is pretty cheeky assertion
to make in the teeth of that very class of
men whose signatures are there staring
the Judges and the Unioa in the face, and
who, of course, are supposed to read that
paper, Very cheeky.
The Union further says:
Judging from the names as published
one would conclude that most Of them were
obtained by having the procession Of work
ingmen, which paradsd our streets a few days
ago, stop al some street corner aud sign 1t
IN body"
Although that class of citizens did not
"stop at some street corner and sign it in
a body" yet a large proportion Of them
have signed it individually. In Gods
name does that detracr from the force of
the petition: Have that body of work
ing men no rights, no sense to know their
rights, and no privilege of demanding
those rights: Are their views and senti-
ments less entitled to respect than those

preston of the popular Indignation; it is
