A California Stock Board in New
York.

We learn from private correspondent
that the attempt to establish California
Stock Board in New York, came near be-
ing perverted from its legitimate purpose,
by an effort on the part of few individ-
uals connected with the movement to con-
vert the same into a stock jobbing concern,
for the purpose of palming off upon the
New York public a lot Of California
"wild- cat" which was found to 60 heavy
in that market. .... ..........
1t appears that large party Of inAuen-
tial gentlemen. in that city. who had come
to the conclusion that substantial, bona
fds stock board, conducted with the homes,
motive of representing California, Nevada
and Colorado mining stocks as they should
be represented, and excluding wildcat "
and all stock gambling operations, would
be greatly advantageous to both buyer
and seller, came together for the purpose
| of taking action in the matter. At the
second meeting it became evident to the
more substantial portion of. those present
that there was party strong in numbers,
who were determined to make the organi-
cation medium for introducing to the
New York public all manner of mining
trash, and to serve as an engine for bull
ing and bearing" their favorite stocks.
Those who desired to operate in legiti-
mate manner promptly withdrew from the
meeting as soon as this phase was made
manifest, and at latest dates were taking
measures to establish a Board, which
should carry out the designs of the origl-
nal projectors of the enterprise. Proml-
nent among those engaged in this last
movement we notice the name OF our
former fellow citizen, John w. Warren,
e Frank Wardell" of the Mining ana
| Scientific Press, and well known to the
business community of San Francisco. II
our information on this point is correct, il
is highly creditable to the gentlemen en-
gagged in this last movement that they
have taken such stand, which, we trust,
will contribute to fair and honest repre-
sentaton of California mining stocks in
New York. The necessity of properly
managed Board to represent our mining
interest there is quite apparent to all who
are posted to any considerable extent in
the manner in which these valuable inter-
ests are damaged by the worthless +" wild
cat stocks which are being palmed off in
that city as genuine and legitimate. The
name proposed for the new Board is the
California, Nevada and Colorado Board
of Brokers. IS. F. Mining Press.

The MINING INTEREST," Congre ssman
Cole has introduced bill for the creation
of a "Bureau of Mines" Its provisions,
II seems to us, are not of sufficient scope.
They seem only to encourage scientific
prospectors. and even that inadequately.
What we would much rather see Congress
do is the creation of new Department of
the Federal Government, to be called, say,
"The Department of Mines, with chief
Secretary, who should be Cabinet Off
Ger, and ike the Secretary of the
Navy or of the Treasury, have the mines
under his special SUPERVISION. 1t will
not be two years until fifth of the
whole area of the Union will be inhabited
by population whose main and only in
terest will be in the mines, and it is as well
the interest of these miners that there
should be common code of wise and far
seeing laws for the holding and working
OF the mines, for the protection of labor
and capital, as it is of the Government.
A Bureau of Mines might do as an enter
lag wedge, but it ought to have something
else to do besides the mere encouragement
of scientific prospectins.-StOckton hide

annually, by the imperial decree, called

business is entirely in the hands of the
Government-no brokers allowed. The
term of enlistment is seven years, but may
be reduced by good conduct; and at the
expiration of that time, the soldier joins
"the army of the reserve" if after the
vicissitudes of dangerous service he is
still alive. In this manner a force of

Treatment Of the Indians.

The Montana Post appears to thorough
" understand the Indian question, and
like all sensible frontier men. suggests the
proper treatment. An Indian can be
trusted only when thoroughly conquered,
or under the turf. The Post says, in
speaking of the interruption to travel:
Capital will be excluded; emigration
checked; provisions must rush up to
famine prices, and a country rich enough
to pay the national debt in specie, will be
deserted, if Government refuses 70 act
with that promptitude, energy and merci-
less severity which alone are used in In
dian warfare. Indians give no quarter.
save to enSlave, TO torture, OF TO violate,
and should have none. We would re-
commend that a handsome trophy be
raised 10 the Third Colorado; promotion
accorded to Col. Chivington, and that all
the diSposable force of the Republic should
be hurled like an avalanche upon these
base marauders. Mercy is virtue IN
comprehensive to a savage; fear he un-
derstands. Give him bitter cause to fear,
and let him rest. He will give no trouble
afterwards. Furnishing arms or ammuni-
ton to the aborigines should be punished
with death, and the sale of spirits should
be visited with incarceration for life. Let
the tribes be notified that any Indian ap-
preaching a camp is liable to be fred upon
az sight. Send a small howitzer along
with every great train, and having first
paid all our debts due to the Indians. in
full and with interest, these precautions
may serve TO secure US peace. Treaties
are not merely ridiculous, they are suici-
DIAL. The only comfortable certainty con-
nected with the conduct of an Indian who
has tasted blood is his fall when shot OF
Ssbered.

THE singular epithets of bears" and
"hulls" were first applied to spectators
on the London Exchange about 1884.
When two parties contract, the one to de-
liver and the other to take stocks on a fu-
ture day at a specified price, 1t is the inter-
est of the delivering party, in the interve-
ming period, to depress stocks, and of the
receiving party to raise them. The former
is styled "abear." in allusion to the habit
of that animal to pull down things with
his paws, and the latter "bull," from
the custom of that beast to throw an OBJ
ject up with its horns.

An Epoch in Military History-A
New Hero.

New Hero.
The New York Tribune says the carry
ing of such a work as Fort Fisher by
storm is an epoch in military history:
As the monitor Merrimac fight was to
naval warfare, as the preaching of Pulaski
BY light guns at eighteen hundred yards
was to casemated forts on land, so may
the storming of Fort Fisher be to the
newly Wanted earthwork defenses. The
ever oscillating superiority of attack and
defense, which for three years has been
supposed to be with the latter, rests to-
day with the former. Heroism is better
than dirt. TIE masonry of Vauban de-
fled the weak artillery of the first half OF
the century, and when that system fell the
earthworks of Todtleben again restored
the odds to defensive warfare, but the
genius and the resolute will of one COM
mander, aided by the unequaled valor of
his troops, have neutralized and over
powered the best engineering science of
the day, and at this moment no fortihca-
ton is secure against assault.
Alfred II. Terry, Brevet Major-General
United States Volunteers, is the hero OF
this new success. Educated a lawyer.
never within fifty miles of West Point a
child of the people and soldier in this
war from the beginning for conscience
sake-he 1t is who has won in single
day q national fame and professional
military renown not inferior to the proud
est. General Terry was one of the few
MEN who before the war saw the necessity
of preparation for it, who helped to put
his State (ConnecticuD in preparation for
it, and who devoted his own energies to its
approaching demands. He was among
the first in the field, has served steadily
and with ever increasing distinction since,
and now at bound reaches the highest
place among the soldiers of the Republic.

the Aha OF last FRIDAY:
"There are few unreasoning individuals
who still cling blindly to the exploded idea
that the standard Of values can be liked by
legislative enactment, independent OF, and IN
defiance of the immutable law Of supply and
demand, and fondly imagine that all which
is necessary to make every man in California
rich is simply to exchange our gold currency
for deprecated paper one, thus giving two
dollars Of nominal value to every dollar Of
real value, forgetting that gold is the real
standard of commercial value throughout the
world, and must ever remain such. We have
so often demonstrated the absurdity of such
ideas, and shown the ruinous results which
must inevitably follow the change Of specie
currency into an inconyertible paper cur
rency-our readers will remember that it, is
not a sound national paper currency redeem
able in gold, or its equivalent, on presenta-
ton, such az We are bound TO have throughout
the Union in the course of few years, which
we oppose-that we do not propose to enter

This crop can be grown hundred years In sue
