was found murdered in field near the

nan called Drew, had been in company
with both Bisgrove and Cornish, up to
very near the time of the murder. Both
were arrested.

guilty But no sooner had they been re-

After three years experience in con
Quoting the financial affairs of the State on
legal tender basis, the Legislature of Ne
vada * about, in accordance with the adj
vice Of Governor BasdeIi. TO re-establish
State finances upon d coin basis. To this
end, Senator Linn, Of Humboldt. has intro
dnced bill which provides that from and
after the first day of January A. D. 1859,
all salaries, fees, imports aud duties. of
whatsoever description. whether state.
county, township or municipal. shall BE
paid III United States gold or silver coin :
and providing that all taxes which may
hereafter be levied, whether state. county,
township or municipal, shall be levied as
sesscd and collected III United STAGES gold
and silver coin
Ii will be remembered that on the Pa
citic Slope the substitution of paper for
coin was long resisted. Debtors were
kept by the pressure Of public sentiment
from paying their debts in currency. But
the pressure fnal gave way and green
backs became, in fact, as well as in law.
legal tender among our Occidental citi-
zens IL would seem, how ever from the
above that the paper syst N was never
fully adopted, but was tolerated for a
season only.
The return of specie pawn nt through
out the country may be brought about b.
similar action. Congress cannot solve
the problem BY legislation. Neither can
State Legislatures In both cases all
that legislation can do is TO recognize and
ratify what the operation Of commercial
forces has already accomplished This
we apprehend, is all that the Nevada
Legislature did. When the laws of trade
admit of a return to specie throughout
the country, as they already do in Ne
vada. then, but not before, may Congress
safely decree return to a gold basis
