The energetic action and fOrcible argu-
ments of our Senators, and the tone Of the
reply Of the Commissioner of the Land
Office, leave US no room to doubt that the
threatened prosecutions will be counter
manded, and that those engaged in cutting
timber may continue their business with
out fear Of moleststion. So vital blow
at the mining interest can never be seri-
ously contemplated after the facts are
properly represented 10 the Government.

WASHINGTON, D. G., March q, lS62.
HoS. J. NJ. EpMuNDs, Commissioner Gen.
eral Land Othce-SIR: We are lnt rmed
that the Land Office at Carson City, in the
State of Nevada, is enforcing the law against
cutting timber upon the public lands in that
State. The timber must be used for mining
pun oses, or mining must stop. Inc great
business of the State is mining, and the tim
Der is used to supply the wants OF strictly
mining community, No provision has been
made for the sale Of the land upon which the
timber is situated. The land Is mineral land,
and reserved. For sixteen years, upon the
Pacific Coast, the timber, as well as the
mines, has been free in the mineral districts.
No attempt has been made TO treat the miners
and those engaged in supplying them With
timber, as tresPassers.
The matter Of making some disposition oil
the timber lands in the minera! country OF
the west was partially considered BY the
Committee on Public Lands in the Senate,
and a system will undoubtedly be perfected
at the next session Of Congress. II is bad
time to commence prosecutions at this sea-
son of the year, when the whole prosperity
Of State is to be destroyed. We most ear
nestly ask that the matter may remain IN It's
present position, and that no prosecutions be
ordered until the next Congress shall have
had an opportunity 10 act IN the premises
Il will not be the policy of Congress TO de-
stroy our mining interests, or TO stop mining;
or, which is the same thing, to cut of the
supply of timber. Congress will never treat
the discoveries Of mines as trespasSers. The
action Of Congress in recognizing the miners
possession. in the 9th section Of the Nevada
Judiciary Bill. shows that their rights will be
respected, but this will avail nothing unless
they can also have timber for working the
mines.
Hoping that you will not be disposed to
proceed with harsh measures until some ac-
ton can be had BY Congress, we remain,
Yours, very respectfully,
WH. NJ. STEWART,
las W NYE.

What of the Result Il?

The election In Maine foots up very largely
increased majority for the Republicans upon
the popular vote not copperhesd Is elected
TO the Senate, and only Ave more than dozen
a begsarly minority-to the House. This IS the
upe1ci,ed verdict Of the people. uninhuenced
BY any popular or partisan hsrangues. or Ham
ing appeals from the party press, II we might
except the "effort" Of Mrs. Chick Of the Saeo
Democrat, on the week before the election. The
Union men declared their principles openly and
above-board; they met the issue growing out
Of DEMONSTRATION in no doubtful. hating
way, and the State has thus emphatically en-
dorsed those principles.
Apd now comes up the query, what OF the
minority. and whSt is there left to themr They
attempted to beguile the people into forget
falness Of the record OF the Democratic" par
~, and sought for salvation before repentance
by specious pretences and "glittering general
tiles" II that minority Is satisfied with the re.
suit, certainly we are. They ought to be salts
fed by this time that the honest voters OF this
State viH no. commit their interests to men
tainted BY sympathy with traitors, and that
they riH not turn their backs upon those men
who have proved faithful when that trait OF
character amounted to something, nor upon
those principles which were the handspring Of
their action, the sheet anchor Of their hope.
Notwithstanding the sharp rebuke admins
tered, and the singing lesson taught the pseudo
Democracy Of Maine, their party press keep
right on in their course Of opposition to the
determined will Of the people, and they still
essay to restore to power the men imbued with
treason. Such course exhibits pluck. but a
wonderful degree Of stolidity. Why argue for
dogs life when the dog is dead; why not ac-
cept the fact secured by letters patent from n
people who have sacrificed. suffered, and finally
triumphed, that having succeeded in this war,
and holding the rebel States in our military &C.

fully discharged; and in case he should de-
cline serving another term, our Legislators
could not commit more graceful deserving

faithfully. For the position We have heard
suggested the name of Brig. Gen. Cillcy oil
Thomaston. From what we know Of the
General, the suggestion seems to us to be
n worthy one. Weknew him some years ago
as classmate in our 6t for college, in which
school he ranked high as an able man. He
was graduated at Bowdoin in 1857, we think,
