splendid and extended view of the

reached the camp at 40 p. N. on
the 18th. having made the trip in

spent IN great comfort by the guests,
who were in the right condition to
enjoy tAeluxuries that General Sher-
iJan and his officers had prepared

tired at an early hour III order to be

ants Hayes, Fowler, Clark, Stevens,
Thomas, and about twenty soldiers.
They rode seventeen miles without
finding any game. and here they
came upon a tine herd of bnffaloes

Grand Duke was anxious for the on

which. after a short chase, resulted
in his bringing down his first buffalo

was continued for some two hours,
Alexis being always prominent in
the chase. The hunt resulted in the
killing of between twenty and thirty

mento Union writes that Governor
Bradley has honored that portion of
the State by his presence during the
last fifteen days, in visiting his many
old friends, and also for the purpose
Of looking after and hunting up his
immense stock of horned cattle that
are scattered over Elko and Lander
counties. He informs us that he
has lost rs head OF beef cattle
ready for market. The Governor
thinks that they have either strayed
away from their old pasture grounds
during the late storm or have been
stolen and driven to South Utah. If
the cattle are not found or recovered,

SUBSIDY AND ANTI-sUBsIDY.

The worthlessness Of Republican
Protestations before an election IS
striEinsly shown in the action of the
California Assembly in voting down
the Senate bill repeating the Five
Per Cent. Act. This statute was
loudly denounced by them before
the election, when the party was
riding the anti-subsidy horse, but
now the horse IS of a different color.
4 Democratic Senate had no trouble
about passing the bill.
There We're many Republicans
who honestly opposed subsidies, and
al laws which authorized the con
tinuance Of the system, who allowed
themselves to be deluded into voting
against Governor Haight, whose adj
ministrati0n was an unquestionable
pledge Of fidelity il opposition to
subsidy. No one can have 4 particle
Of sympathy for these fools. The
Almighty never granted them brains
OF courage enough to bemen. They
were b~orn-slaves, having no business
IN Il Republic, where men are sup
posed to vote sentiments, and decide
principles and policies at the ballot
box. In every town We find crowds
Of men bawIing loudly and long
against the oppression of corpora
.ions, railroads and subsidies.
and when the day Of election
IS at hand, they are on hand
voting for men and measures
they have wasted tie breath of
mouths in cursing. To say that such
men are capable of self-government
is 10 say that 4 Republic IS a stupen-
dous a~bsurIity. We can admire the
man who believes in subsidies, and
who boldly works and votes for
them; but as for the unwhipt hounds
who whine and protest against OPP
prcssions and wrongs until the day
Of election and tLen allow themselves
to be fooled by any demagogue who
wants their votes, or sold out for
= 80, or the promise Of some little
job, every honest man Must feel a
contempt beyond expression. Until
tie people learn to stand by each
other, and to stand by those who
stand up for them, they need expect
10 relief, and deserYenone. Let the
whips crack, and the spur grind.
Serves them right. The more OF it
tie better.

G TENDER CASE.
WASHINGTON, January 15tl

WASHINGTON, january Iotu-
Justice Strong delivered the opin-
ion of the court in the legal tender
case to-day. The opinion is very
elaborate and lengthy. The court
takes the ground that the debts con-
tracted since the passing of the legal
tender act are far the greatest por-
ton of the Indebtedness of the coun-
try that they We're contracted in
view of the passage OF said act, and
that it would be gross injustice TO
decide these debts should be paid in
gold that there is no distinction to
be made between the constitutional
validity ofan act of Congress declar-
ing treasury notes legal tender for
debts contracted after its passage.
and that of IN act making them legal
tender for all debts. those incurred
before as we'll as after the passage ;
that the constitutional grant to Con-
gress of power to coin money cannot
be regarded as containing an implied
prohibition against the issue of legal
tender notes, and If 1t raises any I'M
plicatiOns they are Of its complete
power I'VE the currency: that the
objection that the legal tender act
impairs the obligation Of contracts
cannot be accepted, as there can be
no valid obligation to pay a particU-
lar kind of money. even if both par
ties understand and expect payment
to be made in 4 certain kind OF
money that all the law compels in
payment is whatever the law shall
recognize IS money when the pay
ment is made. The objection that
the unit of money value mustpos~=~s
intrinsic value Is regarded as foreign
to the subject. as the legll tender
acts don't attempt tomake a standard
of value or the assertion that their
emission Is coinage or any regulation
OF value of money. This decision
~overrules so much of the decision in
the case of Hepburn vs.. GrisWO.1, $
Wall, COB, as ruled that the legal
tender acts were uuwarrauted by the
Constitution 50 far as they apply TO
contracts made before their enact
ment. Justice Bradley read a
lengthy opinion concurrin@ in the
conclusion OF Justice Strong.

with which the country IS familiar,

THE BULLONIA.-Since the San
Francisco papers recently published
the prospectus or a%.clrcular OF a
company organized in France for
the sale of shares in a fabulous mine
located somewhere on this Coast,
represented to be worth many mil
lions, called ''Bullonia," there has
been a great demand to know where
the s'BulIonia" IS situated, as the pa
Ser bears upon its face the indica-
tons Of a huge humbug to catch the
francs of the F'renclmen. The San
Francisco Post throws some light on
the mystery in the following;
It seems that Bullonia has q local
habitation and Il name, though no
body ont here ever heard of it he
fore. 1t is said to be up in the
mountains, in Alpine county.
Where, Q. where IS the noble
river" that flows through the favored
realm Of B~ullOnia? One OF the
Bullonia mines was formerly called
the I. y. L. Mr.. Lewis Chalmers
bought it for SO. 600, and this to-
gether with some other Claims, IS
the property which an effort is being
made 10 dispose Of in France for
2.7J0,000 francs. So We learn from
the Courier.
SO this must be one of these ex-
traordinary mines to which the
Alpine Chronicle alluded the other
day. that were about to aStonish the
world. throw the Comstoch in the
shade, and render the annexation Of
Alpine to Nevada preposterous.
We congratulate the Chronicle on
the "Bullonia;"-butno not the French
men that purchase it.
