STEWARDS ELEcr1oNEER1NG DODGE.

On Monday last Senator Stewart in
troduced a buncombe resolution di-
recting the Secretary of the Interior
''to inform the Senate under what
laws individuals and corporations are
allowed TO hold large bodies of the
public lands and close them to settle
ment." The Sacramento Union SAYS
1.-The information demanded of the In
terror Department will be easily given.
1t will show among other things that,
under the laws of 1S62-'6i, there were
. 5000, 600 acres granted to the Union
and Central Pacific; that under the
law of 1866, there We're 10000, 600 acres
granted to the Northern Pacific and
certain branches; that under the sup
Elemental law Of 1870, this grant was
raised IL, 200, 000-making in all 81
DOC, 200 acres; that under the latest
land grant law the southern Pacific
with its Marshall and New Orleans
branch got $1,000, 900 acres; that the
Union Pacific branch got about 4,000,-
600 acres; the Kansas Pacific about
10000, 900; a local railway in Oregon
l zoe, 900; and the Western Pacific not
less than 800. 1000" This makes 4 total
of los, 500,0 900 acres, all given by whole
sale to great, overshadowing corpora
tons, without a single condition upon
tho rrEn of tho TrffrS- and y-a- 81 " tbs
Union, when amendments were pro
posed to the Northern Pacific and
Southern Pacific grants-covering an
area of l01 900 square miles, twice the
area OF the State of Illinois and nearly
three times that of Ohio-tO compel
the cOrporatOrS to sell their grants to
actual settlers i'll 100 acre tracts at the
maximum of 81 80, of s., and s. per
acre, men like Stewart in the Senate
promptly voted them down." The
Union adds, and the people will con-
cur, that Stewart is, as much as any
other Senator, to blame for this waste
of the public domain on such mOnOp-
olies. Stewart plays the Devil and
the Monk" to perfection, but his dem
agoguism will no longer deceive the
people of Nevada, for they fully con-
Gu in the opinion Of the Union that
no Senator or Representative who has
by vote or voice sustained these
1hieving land grants ought to be trust
ed again by the people.

AFTER THE x. K.

On Wednesday last the anti- XII
kluX or Military Government bill
passed the Radical House by lis to 81.
Section two enacts that if any persons
shall combine together to commit the
legal crime of either murder, man
slaughter. mayhem, robbery, assault
and battery, perjury, subornation of
perjury, criminal obstruction of legal
process, or resistance of officers in dis
charge of official duty, arson or lar
ceny, the principals and accessories
shall be liable to 4 penalty of not eN-
ceeding $4,000, and to imprisonment
for so many years. The enforcement
of this Act Will be q terrible blow to
the ku-klux of Virginia City in this
State; and as section three authorizes
the President to use the military and
delivering the accused parties IL the
hands of the United States Marshal, it
will be a sad sight to see George L.
L.amon. whom the II. X. of Storey
have warned not to open his mouth
against their Operations" with the
whole Committee (headed by the edi-
tor of the Enterprise) securely chained
in the guard house under his charge.
Section four declares that 'Such COM
binations of individuals, when they
are able to defy the State authorities
las the X. X. did when they took a
prisoner from the Sheriff by force Of
arms1, shall be deemed rebellion
against the United States" Imagine
the editor of the Enterprise heading a
rebellion! For his written treason,
already uttered in defense of the Ne
vada rebellion, he ought TO be sent to
Fort Churchill and made to pack sand
all Summer. How chickens come
home TO roost! When the editor OF
the Enterprise shall have ''felt the
halter draw we should like to know
his .'opinion ofthe law" to enforceth
provisions of the Fourteenth Amend
ment.

OPHIR, April 3, 1871.
The town is lively again with new
corners, men looking afler mines, after
the ''tiger," after specs-prospects.
Sales of mines are being made. The
Olive Branch mine, a new discovery
above the mouth of Dry Canyon, sold
for $4,000. Cheaper than Trumbo's
auction goods; no price at all for it.

The Baron has secured The services OF

put on men to work his mine, when
new claimants, under the name of

drove them OFF. Bit Of war on hand.
About twentN-fiv men with muSketS.

the Ophir Hill, and the forces of the

LAKE BIGLER.-Hon. G. w. Kendall
is so active in behalf of the interests
Of his constituents that a local subject
is scarcely broached in this State till
he brings it to the attention of Con-
gress. And vet he looks to the inter
csts of the people OF other States whom
he indirectly represents, as we'll, as
will be particularly noticeable by the
tenor OF the following resolution intro
duced by him in Congress on We'd
uesday last:
Kendall of Nevada offered a reSo!u-
ton insIrucling the Committee of the
Judiciary, when applied to, to inquire
what legislation was necessary to pre-
vent damage TO the public lands OF the
United States by Il diversion of the
waters of Lake Bigler by acorporation
organized under the lawSof California.
The preamble to the resolution sets
forth that a corporation is now making
SURVEYS for the avowed purpose OF di-
verIing and drawing oil the waters OF
the Lake SO as TO supply the city OF Il
Francisco and intermediate places
with water for domestic and Irrlgatlng
purposes at prices to be fixed by the
corporation: that the United states
have not parted with their title to the
Lake or lands adjoining the same. and
that such diversion VIII render value
less and practically preventive sale or
occupation ola large area Ofthe public
lands which could be irrigated and
rendered available by the natural flow
of the waters from the Lake.

South CAHOLINA.-YhIs X. l.. cursed
State, according to Radical accounts,
is bleeding at every pore. The poor
carpet-baggers are being murdered
and driven and starved out. The I'M
fortunate and sOrely prosecuted negro
militia are not allowed TO murder
more than eight or ten property hold
ing native whites a-week. and the
rebels are playing thunder generally.

Disguised a Republican negro in Con
gress, who is thus reported in the
House proceedings of Wednesday last:
DeLarge (colored OF South Carolina,
said he represented Il District in which
there had been no outrageS since re
construction. He was free to admit
that both parties We're responsible for
the present disturbed condition OF al
fairs in South Carolina. He was
thoroughly convinced that some legis-
lation was necessary, nut this would
not be sufficient unless his Republican
friends removed political disabilities,
for they could not expect those now
resting under them to exert them
selves to preserve the public peace
when they have nothing to hope for
in the future.

Club, held at the City Hall On Saturday
evening, ii. c. Street, editor OF the
Daily State Register, published ct the
capital of Nevada, now on a visit to
this city, was elected an honorary
member of the Club. Mr.. Street re-
turned his thanks in 4 neat speech.
Long personal acquaintance with ii.
C.. Street enables us to say that he Is
one of Gods best men, a gentleman
all the time-a thorough Democrat,
and an able editor.
The above we clip from the Stock
tom San joaquin Republican of last
Monday. 1t is a neat but deserved
compliment to our ''old man. Mr..
Street sailed for Portland, Oregon, by
the steamer Idaho. on Wednesday
last, and will probably be absent
some fifteen days.

SUTRO TUNNEL.-IIeretofo we have
noticed kendalI's successful move to
have the House take up and pass Sen
ate resolution for the appointment of
a commission to examine into the
feasibility of the Sutro Tunnel project.
Asking the indulgence of the House,
Mr.. kendell made his move first thing
on the 30th March. McGrew of West
Virginia objected. but at the request
of MAYNARD of Tennessee withdrew.
After the bill was read, there being no
objection offered it was taken from
the Speakers table, read three times,
and passed. To settle the matter ut
once, Kendall moved to reconsider the
vote by which the bill passed, and then
moved that the motion to reconsider
be laid on the table, which latter mo-
ton prevailed. Following is the bill
as passed by both Houses:
BE it enacted. &c. That the PreSi-
dent OF the United States is hereby
authorized and requested to appoint a

Unanswcrable Arguments.

Established facts are silent arguments
which neither pen nor tongue can shake ana
it is upon established fact that the reputa-
ton OF Hostcttcrs's Stomach Bittors, as q
heaith-preserving elixir, and wholesome
and powerful remedy, is based. When Wit
nesses come forward in crowds, year after
year. and reiterate tho same statments IN
relation to the beneficial effects of q medl-
cine upon themselves, disbelief in its sefhcecy
is literally impossible. The credentials OF
this unequalled tonic and Alternative, extend
ing over a period ofnearly twenty years, in
clude individuals of every class, and resi-.
dents ofevery cline, and refer to the most
prevalent among the complaints which
afflict and harrass the human family. Either
multitude Of people, strangers to each other,
