Mr.. Negley of Pennsylvania having yester-
day asked leave to introduce to the House a
bill looking to some action which will constyain
the Central Pacific, Union Pacific, and kindred
railroads. to pay the interest on the bonds
loaned them by the United States, Mr.. Brooks
of this city, by objection, prevented tho intro
duction of the measure. 1t seems to us just
and proper one, and We do not think an indi-
yidual objection ought to prevent its consider
alton by the House.

The State Department authorizes the contra
diction of the rumOr by which London was
excited and elated yesterday, to the effect that
the United States had withdrawn their claim
for indirect damages. We have never cOnsid-
cred for moment the possibility of any such
action. There are acts which no nation can
perform and retain its self-respect; there are
attitudes which admit of no retreat. 1t is not
within the range of possibilities that the pDes-
ent Administration could withdraw these claims
and remain in Office But, although the Case
is to be maintained as it stands, the indications
increase that the friends of the Administration
desire to load the responsibility for
it upon other shoulders. The Presi-
dents mouth-piece here recently accused
Mr.. Sumner of having in some occult
way bewitched the innocent Department of
State into writing an indefensble document.
Other faithful friends tried to drive Mr.. Ban
croft Davis into the desert with the Alabama
business on his back. And now we have q
member of the Cabinet who says it was q
foolish Case, but Mr.. Seward was responsible
for it. Why not charge Demosthenes at once
of employing his leisure hours in the ghOstly
bedevilment OF the ingenious statesmen of
Washington The Administration is certainly
unfortunate in its champions.

The report Of case, not unlike several which have
recently occurred in this country, to from

he heard of the stories called upon Mrs. S. for re-

brought an action, and the jury gave him El,0oo
damages. Meanwhile, however, the woman and her
husband had absconded. Mr.. Justice Lush, in sum-
ming up, said: "One can hardly conceive anything
more dabolical than utterances of this kind against
sthe character of O clergyman; and when they are
so entirely unfounded, and are so persstently ad-

mark their estimate of such conduct by the amount
of damages"

passages are chiefly remarkable for the light they
throw on certain critical periods Of American his-

Jackson, from which dates the modern demoraiza-
ton of American statesmen and American politics.
Tho elevation Of man, honest in bis way but igno-
rant violent and reckless in an extraordinary Ge~

In reading Of the agricultural strike in Warwick
shire and other counties Of England, we have en-
countered speech made by one Arch. in which, as
usual there is a modicum Of sense and justice, and
not little bad temper and lad taste. For Instance,
Mr.. Arch said: Il would not be gentleman II
were offered the position Of one. Accustomed as
am to work. | feel pleasure In work than In
idling and loafng about. would not give farth'
ing to lounge about on a sofa, uttering Greek sem
tences and slipping wine with delicate ladies', Tor
should not believe was the profitable member to
society which God destined me to be-" II Is
curious to notice this mans idea Of "a gentleman"
The " lounging about on a sofa" we can understand
and the slipping wine with delicate ladies" is moi
incomprehensible; but are We to conclude that
"uttering Greek sentences" is peculiar character
istic of English "gentlemen" when they are in the
company of delicate ladies ~ If the Hellenic
charge be meant as sly hit at Mr.. Gladstones
Homeric studies, it is not bad one; but probably
Mr. Arch knew nothing about them; and he might
have left the sneer unsaid altogether if he had
known how little Greek the average English gen
tleman brings away from the University.

Yesterday, the Hawkins bill, to ascertain by

certificates of naturalization, purportmg to
have been issued by the State Courts In tins
citv, during September and October. 1868.
b,,.uently, however, the bill, which had
been previously passed to third reading
was recalled to life, so far as motion TO
reconsider could do it. The bill is somewhat
cumbrous in its provisions, but, as 1t really
can be made to apply to naturalizations which
have been made since 1866, as well as earlier
cases, it has been earnestly favored by many
honest citizens, who know that the naturaliza-
ton frauds have been crying outrage upon
suffrage.

the case of Gen. James Wood, accused of cor
ruption. We trust there will be no further
postponement Action may, decision is
urgently demanded by every consideration of
justice and expediency. If Gen. Wood is in
nocent, the Senate treats him cruelty in hold
ing him where he is pointed out to every Wis
itor as the man charged by committee OF
that body with corruption. If be is guilty, the
Senate disgraces itself by keeping him in his
seat We have no feeling in the premises.
We should not know the man if we were to
meet him on Broadway. Believing him guilty,
we have spoken and acted accordingly. What
does the Senate believe of him7

Of U. 6. Senators from that State, the result
of which was unanimous report, ratified by
a substantially unanimous vote of each House,
that Messrs. POmeroy and Caldwell were
severally chosen Senators by the grossest cor
ruption. Those gentlemen gave notice, while
the investigation was still pending, that they
should insist on early action by their peers on
these grave charges, so responsibly presented.
The testimony, we understand. is now in the
possession of the Senate. Why is not action
taken thereon7 If Messrs. POmeroy and Cald-
well are innocent, they are grossly wronged
by the delay. If they are guilty, the Senate
does still greater wrong to their constituents

The STATE UNIvERsTTY.-Elko as
well as Reno wants the State Univer-
sity located within sight. 1t will be
seen from the following extract from
the Independent that the people
there are making the correct move
ment to obtain it. A meeting was
to be held at Elko ON Saturday
night to act upon suggestions already
made. The Independent says:
.'In this connection we will state
that Hon. D. II. Haskell, before
leaving town on Tuesday last, au-
thorized us to state to the citizens of
Elko that he will donate four blocks
in town and contribute $500 in coin
towards erecting the University in
this place, or instead of the four
blocks he will give 100 acres of land
near Elko, and the $500 just as may
be desired. All this is his ind1vld-
ual offering. He is ready to put up
the four blocks, or 100 acres and
$500 at any time he may be called
upon or notified by the committee.
Let Elko take hold of this matter in
earnest. Five thousand dollars
ought to be subscribed at the meet
ing tonight, and we will wager that
the Railroad Company will cover it,
and that the balance of the county
will double both sums, andthat Elko
will have the State University"

SCHELL CREEK MINEs.-Parties in
from Ruby Hill report the mines
showing we'll. The Cow x Calf is
worked by Bethards Il Co. on a lease,
which will expire in March. In the
cut, running toward a bluff of ore
and ledge matter, there is a large
body of ore in sight. The frst-class
ore will be shipped here, as soon as
the condition of the roads is favora-
BILE for the passage of freight teams.
The second-class is piled on the
dumps. and will be worked at Ruby.
The Wide West, located by Coburn
& Co., is turning out good ore. The
shaft is down to a depth of 10 feet,
and the ledge developed into a true
fssure vein, with hanging and foot
wall. In all of the prominent
mines the grade of ore improves as
depth is made in the re- White
Pine News.

UTAH POLITICS.

The bill before.the Utah Legisla-
ture calling a convention to organize
a State government provides for the
election by the convention of two
delegates to attend the Republican
convention at Philadelphia to noml-
nate a President. This is a neat
dodge to ingratiate the new State
with the Republican majority IN
Congress, but it is bitterly opposed
by the anti Mormon journals OF Utah.
1t has not been customary for Ter
ritories to be represented IN national
political conventions until recently.
butthe national committee in this case
has authorized Territorial delegates
but this way of electing them is
something new. The State move
ment in Utah is evidently engineered
bv skillful managers VINO are out
malluuvreing the anti State men.
The Review and Tribune are IN
the latter interest, and Mechanically
calling on the people for action in
some shape to defeat the movement;
but there seems to be little concen-
tration among the anti-State men,
and if they are not careful they will
wake up some of these fine mornings
TO find themselves in the hands of
the Philistines.

ton of all questions which have been
decided or buried by the events which

will invite, both by words and by

VANsICKLEv vs.. HAINEs.-TheS Silver
State abiding to this decision, and
the brief of the attorney for the
plaintiff; says:
This brief contains an able and
exhaustive showing on the subject,
and whether it c~onvinees the minds
of the learned Judges that their for
mer ruling was contrary to the recog-
nlzed doctrine of water rights, as
established by Legislative sanction
and the general custom of the State,
and therefore recognized by Act of
Congress, or not, it will not fail to
convince the people that the Court
erred in clinging to the common law
rule of riparian RIGHTS, which grew
up under conditions of society and
property rights, which have no APP
.plication to the conditions existing
in our State, and all over our Pa
cific coast. 1t would have been
much safer for the Court to have
followed the wise decisions of the
Courts of California which were
made in view of a similar condition
of facts to those existing here, and
which have heretofore been regarded
rs authority by the people in the adj
justment of water rights. 1t is the
general impression that the decision
of the Supreme Court, in this cause,
was rendered without due considera-
ton of the subject in all its import
ant bearings, and hence there is a
general belief that, on the motion
for rehearing, it will reverse its for
mer decision.
