Death Of Young Maa Of Promise. =
Mr.. James v. b. Morrison recently
shot himself in Middleburg. lie was a
son of Col. 1 A. Morrison, Of Estill.
vile, Scott county Va, and had been
for some time studying law under Col.
Randolph Tucker. He was for long
time (since the war; engaged in the
mercantile business in this place, and
was very popular young man. Many
of our citizens will regret his untimely
death. During the war he was for MAJ
ny months the Chief Clerk of the Hos
pital at Emery & Henry College, and
stood very high in the esteem and con-
6dence of the Surgeon in charge. He
was esteemed by all who then knew
him as a young gentleman Of exalted
worth. Wherever we have known him
he has been beloved. May the frail
flowers of earth bloom sweetly and al
ways over that heart which we hope is
happier now than we above the sod.

The Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1865-1870, 1869-01-07

SENATOR MORTON yesterday received
dispatch from Europe stating that the effect
OF his speech in favor of resumption was
already visible in increased confidence in
American securities. This is what might
have been anticipated, Every public utter
ance of our leading men in favor of the hon
est payment Of our debt and return to a
sound system Of finance tends 10 improve
our credit at home and abroad, while, on the
other hand, every utterance looking in the
opposite direction lowers our credit, de-
presses the price of our bonds, and postpones
the conversion Of our debt into one bearing
a reduced rate of interest. Thus it follows
that every man whose words are taken as an
indication Of public sentiment, and whose
views are thought likely TO influence the ma
tional policy, has it in his power greatly to
injure or benefit the nation, according to the
course he adopts, for single speech detri-
rnental to cur credit may virtually cost us
% millions of dollars If our credit was firmly
established reduction oftwice that amount,
and, possibly, even more could be easily
effected. and every man who helps to post
pone that reduction, by direct or indirect
attacks upon our credit, is positive expense
TO tine country. 1t would be a profitable in
vestment to pay all such men liberal salary
% hold their peace tashiagto1 Chronicle

THE SAN Francisco PREss.-The follow
ing brief estimate of the character Of the San
Francisco press IS made By our spicy and
always welcome cO,emporary, the Mor-
ming Chronicle:
Il IS a hu1uiliating fact that we have not at
present single frst-class journal in this
city. The papers that make the especial
boast o: being the &" leading and influential"
dail:es are entirely governed and controlled
by pecLniary and business interests. The
Alta does not dare to publish a paragraph
distasteful to the auctioheers. The Times Is
4 mere private sheet, owned by Alvinza Hav-
ward, who regularly pays out Of his own
pocket the weekly deficit of the impecunious
concern, which he wants to keep on its legs
with view to future contingencies. The
Bulletin, which is, upon the whole. the best
and ablest OF the d" influential dailieS," i,
nevertheless. more or less hampered BY the
relations of its proprIetors with large money
ed interests. We do not believe that the
Bulletin i venal or purchasable. in the vulgar
sense. If Mr.. Gunnybags or Mr.. SpOndulcs
were to so into the Bulletin Office and tender
his check for one thousand or ten thousand
dollars a consideration for the advocacy
by that paper Of any particular moneyed in
tereS', we are charitable enough TO believe
that the check would be refused. Neverthe-
less, both the Bulletin and the Alta are
under the influence Of moneyed institutions.
We have no doubt that both of these papers
would refuse direct bribe, and spurn Pc
cuniary consideration offered as the price of
journalistic advocacy and yet there is no
doubt that they are both under the influence
Of the large moneyed interests Of this city.
