/ RErURSED.-Hou. Charles S. Hayden
has returned to his home from his duties
as representative Of Lander in the State
Assembly. Mr.. Hayden's course has been
very satisfactory TO his constituents. he
having shown an intelligence Of a very
superior order, and an independence OF
character highly commendable.- Reese
Rirer ReceiRe.
This Hayden is the individual who COM
menced his legislative career by grossly
insulting his associates, comparing those
who disagreed with him-constituting q
large majority Of the A,sembly-,o thieves,
and declaring their constitutional " in
telligence to be less than that enjoyed by
average Piutes. He showed himself a
charla;an, and was utterly INSCRIPTIONS
in making statements as to what was and
what was not the " law in other States.
A motion to expel him from the Assembly.
which was actually made, would have
been passed. (would have prevailed II
urged.) was only not brought to a vote
out Of consideration to his colleagues.
Hayden claimed to be Of Boston birth ;
but his speech and manners were said to
be like those Of a tickle, of leave man from
the penal colonies of Great Britain. How
it is possible for the RsreiHe to make such
a notice as we have quoted OF this Hay
den, we canno, comprehend. Surely the
Editor does not know what "intelligence"
and independence " the fellow exhibited;
if he does, the compliment is a studied in
suit from the RsreiGe to the large majority,
we might say the entire body, Of the last
Assembly. One thing we feel confident
Of in this connection : If the people of
Austin and Lander county could be fur
nished a full report Of one Of Hayden's
characteristic diatribes against his asso-
cia,es in the legislature, their modification
and disgust at the conduct Of ono of their
representatives in the State Legislature
would be well nigh insuferable.

GREENBACKS.

From and after the Let Of next month,
greenbacks go for State payments, except
in the case Of State Printers bills, which
are paid in coin until the Is, Of June.
And. as is well understood. hcncefor,h
taxes are to be levied and collected on a
gTeenback basis. The people will be Gu
rious to observe the source from which
the required paper money supply will be
derived and some are anxious under the
belief that not a sufficient quantity will be
on hard by the time the payday sharp
ems up on the disl-plate. We have only
one National Bank; and that has only
S26o,oOo capital. We have 10 assurance
Of q National Bank establishment in Sto-
.ey county /; so far as present indications
20, there is no likelihood Of our common
currency being soo changed from gold and
silver TO legal tenders. So the anomoly is
presented Of q State doing business entirely
(even to payment Of Judges s~alaries) on a
greenback grade, while the folks" are
dealing on q plane 90 TO 80 per cent.
higher in standard value Of exchange. It
would seem unlikely that such a condi-
ton Of affairs could long continue; and
rs we cannot go back Of Beatty and Bros
nan for two or three years, at best, the
conclusion is naturally adopted that paper
money will be the currency Of Nevada in
1858. At that date, however, a dollar in
paper will call for par value in coin.
Then: whatn be the odds:
The grand source from which we may
expect our imported supply Of greenbacks,
in all-suficient quantities, will be the
Central Pacific Railroad Company whose
workmen will, no doubt, so o as the
Nevada line is reached, be paid in paper
money, at gold marke, rates. We do not
imagine that New York capitalists are
about to send in any large lots Of legal
tenders. Payments for mines, purchased
in the East, are now generally made to
agents in New York or Boston, and the
drafts are made out for Nevadans OF q
gold demand.
If there is one thing on which all the
Union papers Of the Eastern States seem
TO have come to an entire and emphatic
agreement, it is this: that Congressional
legislation and Cabinet conduct must be
so directed as to bring the paper currency
of the Nation. the Federal Bank paper,
within the $500, 900, 900 allowed for Ma
tional Bank apporsionment. And this, it
is earnestly hoped and reasonably eS-
pec,ed. will be the accomplishment Of the
next three years. And at the ratio OF re-
duction to such an end, greenbacks must
come up TO pa. in less than half the limit
Of time designated for the full purpose of
retirement down to bank capital.

A GIGANTIC RAILROAD ScHHNE.-On Sat
urday last, a bill was introduced into the Leg,
ialature to grant the Newport and Folsom
Railroad Company the right to erect a bridge
across the Sacramento at Rio Vista. We
understand that a company, with ample CAPT.
tai, will, If the bill above mentioned Is passed
make Newport a center for railroads as fol-
lows: From Newport to Rio Vista, TO Wal
nut Grove. to Hicks Bridge, TO Tnylor,i
Ranch, to Folsom, where it will connect with
the roads to Marysville and Placervills
Then from Newport to Fairfield, to Lakeport,
to Ukiah, to Eureka in Humboldt county, to
Orleans Bar in klamath, to Jacksonville,
Eugene, Salem, Oregon City and Portland in
Oregon. Then from Newport to Fairfield, tc
Woodland, to Coiusa, to Marysvillc, to Te'
hama and to Shasta. Then from Newport to
Walnut Grove, to Sacramento. Then from
Newport to Rio Vista, TO Walnut Grove, to
Mokelumne City, to Antioch, to Martinez, to
San Pablo and to Oakland. This gigantic
scheme is, perhaps, practicable. Congress
has passed a bill giving extensive tracts oil
land to a railroad line between Eureka, in
Humboldt, to Newport. The Legislative bill
under notice was introduced Immediately
upon the announcement OF the grant BY Con-
gress to the Eureka and Newport line, and

GOVERNOR BRoss addressed the Boston
Board Of Trade, three weeks ago yester-
day:
He spoke at length Of the journey made
overland by Mr.. Colfax, himself and two
other gentlemen, last Summer, on the
route Of the proposed Pacific Railroad.
The passes were easy. When they got
half way up the Valley Of Platte they were
beyond the reach Of the dew, and they
could sleep anywhere and everywhere.
Between New York and the Pacific there
was not a single mountain barrier! Ma.
lure had herself laid out the route. In
constructing this line he did not think
there was as much expense to be met a,
there wss in making the Pennsylvania OF
Erie Railroad. They travelled substan.
TALLY in the line Of the railway, and found
water and coal at convenient distances,
and plenty Of timber in the Platte Valley,
in the Rocky Mountains, at Salt Lake, and
elsewhere.
P. S. This is the frat time the abov.
sentences have been printed, this side the
Rocky Mountains!

The President ind the Csletsd r1eu.

It is evident that the conference Of the
colored delegates with the President, was
unpleasant and unfortunate. Douglass
put on airs and assumed a dictatorial tone,
in imitation of his white model, Wendell
Phillips, and the President had besides
been prejudiced against him by some OF
his recent public speeches attacking the
administration. It is quite possible, also,
that the President may sympathizc with
some Congressman in considering the es-
Establishment of a permanent colored lobby
at Washington, to advise and direct Con-
gress and the executive in their duties, as
somewhat offensive. At any rate it is
evident that the mood OF the President was
not as courteous as usual, and that the
colored gentlemen tried the game of bluff
without success. Our concern, however,
is mainly with the opinions uttered by the
President, which were of q character, TO
bring down upon him a new storm of de-
nunciation from such men as Thad Stevens.
Having listened to Douglass and Down
ing, the President told them, in substance,
that he thought he had given evidence that
he was a friend Of humanity generally. and
of the colored race specially. and he
thought he understood what policy tended
to their amelioration and elevation. On
this point the President said: =
IL have owned slaves and bought slaves,
but I never sold one. I might say, how
ever, that, practically, so far as my con-
nection with slaves has gone, I have been
their slave instead of their being mine.
Some have even followed me here, while
others are occupying and enjoying, my
property with my consent. For the COL
ored race my means, my time, my all has
been periled; and now, at this late day,
after giving evidence that is tangible
that is practical-I am free to say to you
that I do not like to be a~rraigned by some
who can get up handsomely rounded Pc
RODS, and deal In rhetoric, and talk about
abstract ideas Of liberty, who never periled
life, liberty or property. This kind OF
theoretical, hollow, impractical friendship
amounts to very little"
The President then stated bis objections
to giving the suffrage to colored men, with
out the consent of the whites, as sure to
provoke q war Of races, and so bring great
suffering, il not utter determination, upon
the weaker race.
