CALMING THE TROUBLED WATHRS

On Wednesday afternoon Mr.. Sharon
of the Bank of California addressed the
yellow Jacket miners upon the existing
troubles between the Miners League
aud the Railroad Company The gis'
Of his remarks as reported in the Enter
prise of yesterday is to the effect that
the common interests OF the miners and
railroad people could be best subserved
BY the peaceful pursuit of their under
takings; and in thus stating his cause
Mr. Sharon spoke with much force and
elearness, making it appear, BY some
very direct and sensible remarks, that
the railroad was the most promising
insurance of future labor on the Con-
stock and that whatever tended to the
stoppsge of the grading must. BY con-
sequence, diminish the requirements OF
the mines. These we'll delivered state
men,s were favorably received ; and on
the night before last Mr.. Sharon and
the tao Unions-of Virginia and Gold
Hill-came to a written agreement by
way of successful compromise. Thus
is the gun of angry controversy spiked
until the ssbiliows Of fAnaticism shall
again beat against the iron ribbed rocks
of deep s-ated adverse conviction. "
We may be happy yet.

THE MAN ON HoRsEBACK.-lt would
seem from what the letter writer's say,
says the Richmond Wing that there is
something like panic in Washington at
what is termed 'the regular onward tread
of the new Administration towards a
military despotism." "The most able
and distinguished patriots now assembled
at Washington, and the higher officials
of the country" are represented to be in
great alarm. The ground for all this
CONSERVATION is that President Grant sur
rounds himself with a military staff, and
Gen. Sherman has issued an order which
"startles thinking men," bringing within
his direct military control the head OF
every Buroau attached to the War De-
partment, and reducing the Secretary Of
War to a cypher. No doubt all this lie
very alarming; and the thinking men
being startled is very disquieting. But
