EDrroh NEws-Sir: Ny attention has
been called to a card published in your
issue of the Goth inst, over the sig
nature OF "HUxASIrY." ask as a
right, the favor of your columns for o
short reply, detailing the facts in the
case, which can verify by my affidavit
if necessary, as we'll as the affidarits OF
several respectable citizens of your city.
Word was brought me about 2!
o'clock on Saturday morning last of tho
homicide, and | Immediately proceeded
to the Gold Hill station-house, in COM
pauy with Marshal Cummings and Po-
liceman Hamlin, where in a few minutes
DR.. CASTOR arrived with his case of
surgical instruments. l requested DR..
CASTOR to hold q %post-mortem examina-
ton, which was then and there done,
and On its termination | told Mr.. HAM
lin, undertaken Of your city, to take
charge Of the body and decently pre-
pare it for interment, stating Mt the
same time that | would have to return
home and obtain n little needed sleep,
and that | would como back about IL
or l o'clock, of that day, to hold an in
quest, as required by the duties of my
office. I did return at the timc ap-
pointed, and much to may establishment
found the body of deceased still lying
in the station-house, where the hon.
icide had been committed. at once
asked Mr.. Hamlin why he had not taken
charge of the body as had directed, to
which he returned some indefinite re-
ply, w%heroupon I repeated my orders,
and the boz" was at once removed.
These are simply tho facts in the
matter, notwithstanding the assertions
Of "Humanity"-which | fatty deny
that | gave "orders that the body
should not DO d%isturbed;" and indeed
he coutradicts himself when he says
"the Coroner came to Gold Hill, exam
ined tho pockets of the deceased" etc,
yet a little further on he says she (thc
Coroner) never came near tho body
until almost twelve hours after death"
Under the circumstances I must pro.
uounce "Humanity" grossly mi,in.
formed, or his communication both
false and malicious.
G. GARTRELL, Coroner.

ULYSSES S. GRANr.-It is the record
Of history that, in great public crisis,
tho instinct Of a nation points with un-
erring sagacity to some nan Of the peo-
pie whom they adopt at once, in assur-
ance Of faith, as their chosen champion
and deliverer; and, by a natural law,
this abiding confidence is through its
own soothing power the surest guaranty
ofsuccess. In this dark hour of national
exigency we have need Of a leader whose
integrity is interrupted by political as
sociations and whose patriotism has not
permitted him to descend to the arena
of partisan warfare I; Of a tried leader
Of undaunted courage, who will be
swsyed neither by popular passion nor
sectional prejudice; Of a nan Of eau
tious reticence, who has no inconsisten-
cies to explain, no policies to maintain,
no theories to promulgate of a leader
who comprehends the position and rela-
IlOQ5 Vi MI ooNsiouo Va 0uA NOmuioh
country, and who will bring to the ad-
ministration of public affairs, executive
ability, economical ideas, n clear head
and an honest heart. tits manifestthat
1t is the same Providence which brought
US safely through the storm Of war, that
moves this whole people now with a
singular ruanimity to recognize in a
plain, unpretending citizen him whose
energy, discretion and exalted patriot
ism will restore peace and prosperity to
discordant States and a distracted land. |
The man for the crisis-thc man for the
hour-the man of tho peoples Ulysses
s. Grant. Before his prc-emiucnt fit
ness for the high office to which a CRATE
full nation would elevate him, let per-
sonsl preferences yield. let faction SUBJ

SPECIAL methods Of highway robbery
seem to follow certain laws, and that
without any communication between the
thieves. Fifteen years ago the peculiar
system Of personal attack called CARROT
ing was introduced in England, and
from that country was imported into the
large cities Of the United States. By o
vigorous application of preventative
measures, rs we'll rs the increased Sc
verify of misunderstanding the
revival of flogging-garroting was put
down in England; and the custom died
away everywhere. Now, however, the
practice has revived and simultaneously
with the reports of robberies by violent
assaults, accounts are given in of SIM
liar proceedings in London. In one of
these cases the victim, n tall, powerful
man, though armed with a sword cane,
was attacked suddenly from the rear,
his hat being forced over his eyes, and
was sat upon by q large man, who
grasped bis throat and thrust n hand
kerchicf into his mouth, to keep 'tthe
chicken from squalling."

ARE GREESBAcKs A LEGAL TENDER
A Ease is now before the United States
Supreme Court which will finally de-
eide the question whether the Govern
ment ''~greenbacks' are legal tender for
all payments. Jurists have decided tins
question differently, although the major
ity Of decisions are favorable to the
opinion that the notes are a legal ten
der. The test ease before the Supreme
Court comes from Oregon, whose laws
require the payment of taxes in coin,
It appears that the Sheriff Of one Of the
counties in Oregon paid the amount col
leeted by him for taxes in currency and
claimed such payment as valid under
the legal lender act. The issue in
volved in this question is important, as
it will establish a precedent for oil sim
liar issues.

secretnrr stanron,a Carc.

from the Philadelphia Evening Bullctin.l
WASHINGTON, Jan at is learned that
the report in the case Of Secretary STAN
ton has been completed, and Senator
Howard, who has charge of the matter
on the part Of the Senate, will lay it
before that body on next Monday, pro-
viding an Executive session is held, as
the subject car only come up rs conf
Dental matter in such session, and not
in the open Senate.
Secretary Stanton has made a strong
case, and the report will fully cxoncratc
him from all the grave charges made
against him by the President in his rea-
sons for the Secretary's suspension.
He has not, however, allowed the mat
ter to rest here, but in the forthcoming
report he throws much light upon the
secret action Of the President in many
things which heretofore have been en-
shrouded in deep mystery. In fact, ac-
cording to the statement Of the Senator
who informs your correspondent in re-
gard to this matter, and who is well in
formed in regard 10 the statements con-
tanned in Senator Towards report, Sec
rotary Stanton has made out the
strongest argument, not only in his own
behalf, but against the President, that
can, under the circumstances, DO i'm
agiued. An intimate friend of Mr..
Stanton states that when the report is
read to the Senate there will not be n
single vote against Stanton's reinstHtc-
ment cast by any Republican.
A great many Radical Senators arc
urging privately upon Secretary STAN
ton not to Immediately tender his rcsig-
nation to the President when he has
been reinstated, but to return to the
War Department and relieve General
Grant.
1t is stated by parties who claim to
be we'll informed in regard to General
Grants ideas on the subject, that the
latter will, in case Of the Senate sus-
tanning Mr.. Stanton, Immediately retire
from the War Office, assuming that the
law forbids his pursuing any other
course. This is expected to be done,
| even if the President should order him
to remain. Secretary Stanton, it seems,
has no intention to enter upon tho du-
ties permanently, after he is r%cinstatcd,
as he would be in direct and constant
conflict with the President, but will
merely remain In the War Office a few
days, to show that his action so far is
approved by the country, and to see
what course President johnson will at-
tempt upon his r~c-entering on these
duties,

Srocxs.-The upward tendency which
mining stocks have just now taken is
decidedly cheering to US washoites,
who are not in the least discouraged
with the prospects for a very lively
Spring and Summer trade. 1t is true,
there is not much ore going to the mills
at present, and consequently not much
bullion being shipped, but the develop
ments going on is in exploring the diff
ferent levels Of our mines, to know
where the ore is when needed, and the
overAowing ore dumps at every mine on
the C~omstock, which will be hauled
Just so soon as the roads are open-all
these favorable indications are the pros
pective spirit and life which are now
moving on the stock checker-board, and

going when the frost-king leaves US.

"ULYss."-Tho Generals father came
to town the other day, and stopped with
"Ulyss," as he calls his boy, whom be
found seated at his Preside, smoking, of

THE VICE There is q
good deal of real, good, sound political
philosophy in the following extract from
an article which w find in this morn
ing's Carson appeal, on the Presidential
question. We commend it as a careful
study, and serious fo%rethought, to all
who may read it:
Whoever is elected by the loyal peo-
pie of this Republic to the Presidential
office will be simply the sclected expo
nent of Unionism; aud history having
taught US that Vice Presidents are not
remarkable for their trustworthiness to
succeed anti Democratic Presidents, re-
moved by death, quite as much care
needs to be used in the selection Of q
candidate for that position MS is impora-
tive in the choice of u nominee for tho
Presidency itself. We must avoid tempt
ing tho Booths to get rid of Grant as
Lincoln was disposed Of, by selecting
his possible successor from among such
men rs are distinguished for their we'll
known loyalty to country and principle
such a man as Senator Williams, Of
Oregon, for instance. That clear-headed
publicist has been mentioned in connec-
tioa with the place; and, among other
good reasons, he being n Pacific coast
man, We should like to see him placed
on the ticket with Grant. Hannibal
Hamlin, Ben Wade, Ex-Governor Bout
we'll, of Massachusetts,, John A. Logan,
Speaker Colfax, any of these would fill
the bill exactly. But don't let's hitch
on o nobody or u knave to catch the
fool vote or the "border State" infu-
cnce. In other words, let Grants occu-
paucy Of the White House be made
something besides a temptation to Cop
perhead conspirators and rebel Nssassins
to abbreviate his term Of Office for the
benefit of o second Andrew johnson
and the unreconstructcd rebels. Now
that the people have spared "the poll
ticians" the trouble of selecting the
Union candidate for the Presidency, let
whoever is to choose the Vice President
make the choice with wisdom, foresight
and prudence.

important Decinion.

Says the Washington Star Of 9th:
A couple ofjudicial decisions recently
made in suits between private individ-
uals and express companies, have inter-
est for tho general reader, and will so
far toward inspiring o feeling Of security
in the bosom Of persons who arc obliged
to entrust valuables to those exceedingly
useful and generally reliable and liberal
institutions.
The first case was that of o young
lady named Livingston, who, returning
to New York from n visit to Washing
ton, delivered her baggage, or rather
the check therefor, to one Of tho city
express companies. Her trunk was lost
in their possession, and she sued for the
full value Of its contents-somo ST., 100
in amount. The defendants plead tho
terms of tho check given by them, which
limited their liability for lost baggage
to a value not exceeding 500. The
judge held that a stipulation Of that
character was not binding, and it hay
ing been proved that tho plaintiff moved
in good society hero, and that the cloth
ing, jewelry, etc. ,lost with the trunk
were suitable and proper for q lady in
her position, a Judgment was rendered
for the full amount claimed.
Tho second suit WAS that of q mer-
camille house in Springfield, Mass,
against tho Adams Express Company,
for the value of a box of pistols deliy-
cred to its agent for shipment to Vicks-
burg, and which was lost by the blow
ing up on the Mississippi river of the
steamboat on which it wa being trans
ported. A demand was made for the
payment of the value Of the goods so
lost, but the claim was rejected by the
company, on the ground that the goods
were sent by the ordinary route and
method of transportation, that the
steamer carrying them vas not under
its control, and that the terms of the
receipt given Mt the time the goods were
received BY the company %exonernted it
from dangers arising from river naviga-
ton and steam. The Express Company
gave no other reason for declining the
responsibility of the loss, and n suit for
damages, wat brought by the losers be-
fore the Superior Court in June, on the
ground that the company was n common
The Court at that time so de-
cided, but the defendants appealed to
the Supreme Court of Massachusetts,,
which has now sustained the decision,
and made a declaration in fact that ex-
press companies are common carriers,
and are responsible for tho safety of the
goods which they are paid to transport.
