Starvation as Penalty for Political
Heresy.
Rron, the AZ. 7. T.mes.

From the ~. Y. Times.
The proposition to refuse Commissioner
Wells his salary, because some OF his views
ON questions of political economy do not suit
the msiority in Congress, shows how very
much below their places men in Office can be.
The proposal came from high protective
tariff man of Pennsylvania-ope who is him
self personally interested in having his busi-
ness protected against competition, and whose
sole cause of quarrel with Mr.. Wells is because
he does not agree with him on this point.
That Mr.. Moorhead should have made such
a proposition does not surprise us any more
than that Mr.. Kelley should have supported
IL: but that the House should have passed it
would have surprised us, If we had not remem-
bered that it was only the reenactment OF a
similar indecency recently practised in the
case of Mr.. Harvey, our Minister in Portugal.
That gentleman, during the early stages oil
tha o1arrel between the President and Con-
Uress. had written private letter to Mr..
Seward, in which he had expressed, in per-
faotly courteous language, his dissent from
the views OF Congress and his approval OF the
Presidents action. For this he had, as mat
ter of oourse. incurred the displeasure OF Con
srass. and as that body had no power to re-
move him from Office the fertile genius OF Mr.
Thad. Stevens proposed to starye him out Of
IL by stopping his salary, ana py amt Oh LOT
c;bla domination he procured the support OF
Conorsss In this delightful scheme. The
House passed tie melton, the Senate concur

THE ELKO aINDEPEN DEN T.
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER az. 1863.

Corr DIsrRIcr.-Several Of our citizens
have been visiting Cope district during the
past ten days, and bring in with them the
most encouraging accounts of the richness
and extent of the mines at Mountain City.
Hill Beachey, Oppenheimer, and Geo. Hurst
(the latter named gentleman is well known on
this coast as heavy mining operator), bring
in specimens of ore that will compare with
any ever taken from the Eberhnrdt. II is only
n question of time when this district will ship
large amounts Of bullion and compete with
White Pine for the championship. The At
Gibson and Drew mill viii probably start up
to-day, and we may look for a handsome ship
ment of bullion from it early next week. Mill
ing facilities are greatly needed, but will be
supplied in due season. New discoveries are
daily being made in the mountains for n cir
cult of sixty miles from Mountain City.

0IsTEHs AND How They CoME.-The trade
in oysters has lately become of consequence,
and now occupies the attention of our people.
They are canned in Omaha. and packed in
ice to avoid freighting the shells They reach
any point on the Pacific fresh and in quite as
good IA condition rs if they We're sent Ill the
shell. At IA point like Elko, they can be re-
packed if necessary and forwarded with safe
~ TO any part of the adjacent country, which
Davidson, of the Cabinet saloon, proposes tn
do. He is now receiving orders from all
quarters and is giving general satisfaction. He
understands the oyster business, and does
not ask any one to purchase of him if he can
not furnish u number one bivalve.

THIEF SINGULARLY CACGur.-A few nights
ago n man stole two pairs of blankets and n
saddle from wagon. The day after the
wagon was moved To another part of the town
and the thief made his appearance at the
same wagon and offered for sale IA portion of
the very same goods that he had purlOincd
from it the night before. The owners of the
stolen property Mt once captured the individ-
ual, and made him hunt up the balance of the
stolen property; upon the return of which lie
was let of, thereby dcprIving Judge Mayhugh
of passing sentence upon him.
