A NOVEL and desperate duel with blud-
geons was INDUCED in by couple of Salt
Lake men. On meeting at the appoint
ed place, the Tribune says, and without
a word, the fight began, each man doing
his best to catch his antagonist at a dis.
advantage, but both being scienced il
the use of their weapons, the well
directed blows of either were parried
which prolonged the encounter unit
both became nearly exhausted, When
they clinched the result of which was,
as we are informed, a perfect 'dog
fight" Any and every means were used
on both sides to injure and disfgure his
antagonist. This continued until human
endurance was exhausted, and a third
party put an end to the combat. We
will endeavor to give fuller description
Of the fight tomorrow.

just below the bridge. About 200 per.
sons, including number CT women and
children, had gathered upon the bridge

without any warning, the bridge gave

selves from the wreck and from each

speedily brought ropes and boats, and
went molly to the rescue Some Of those
who We're near the end Of the bridge
when it fell, were able to get out without
assistance. Up to six O'Clock p. M,
two dead bodies have been taken from
the river. Twenty-Five persons were
rescued alive, but all more or less in

this hour, no other bodies Of the victims
OF the disaster have been recovered at
this point, but several are reported

and doubtless the swift current has borne

The general estimate Of the number lost

THE GREENBAcK QUESTION.


The newspapers of California are dis
cussing the expediency of changing thei
circulating medium from the metallic to
paper basis, the greater majority being il
favor of the change. The chief argument
in favor OF adopting greenbacks as thu
standard of exchange, in lieu of gold and
silver, is that circulation conforming
with the uniform circulation of the nation
would encourage and stimulate competi-
ton, and, therefore, result in increased
business, population and wealth. This
leading argument is illustratively urged
by the Sacramento Record with great
force. 1t says six firms Of San Francisco
make the prices for dry goods for the
Pacific coast; three firms make the prices
for agricultural implements; three firms
make the prices for drugs; and SO on
down through the different lines of trade.
Each line of trade, groceries excepted, is
little close corporation in itself-con-
trolled by less than half dozen leading
houses, who are in no true competition
with one another, but are banded as one
man to fight out OF the field any compe-
titor who may offer to dispute their own
ership. They have established close cor
pontions, and no competitor can enter
the field unless he is able to compete
with their combined capital, and is able
to fight the whole combination for a
share of the field. No such competer
has offered from the East, says the
Record, nor will any such offer, so long
as he must converts 900 currency into
SS5.00O gold as the first step to entering
the field. He believes that within three
or four years his currency will be at par
With gold; meanwhile, it is earning regu-
lar interest; and so long as he believes
this, so long he will not sacrifice part of
his capital for the privilege of making his
struggle for share of the California
bus ness.
We believe the Records reasoning
sonna, and it will apply with double
force here, where, from our variant COM
mercial relations, it works much incon-
venience to maintain the specie basis.
Bills payable in currency in Salt Lake
are payable in gold in San Francisco;
and, our trade relations extending to
both points, much confusion and misun-
Outstanding result in the transaction of
business; while those who make spe-
cialty of dealing in money and securities,
are probably engaged in making the
exchanges conform with the requirement
Of each class Of transactions. The ad-
yantages to all classes, except the money
dealers, of a uniform medium Of ey-
change, none deny; but ours must con-
tinub to be of a mixed character until
California adopts the currency basis. We
hope the movement for the new system
will accomplish its object.

A letter from Montreal states that Bit
terwar, increasing in violence, is waging
between the liberal Catholics and ultra
montanes Of Canada. The former are
under the lead of the Archbishop of Que
bee, and the latter of the Jesuits aud the
Archbishop Of Montreal In the last
election the Quebec party increased their
delegation in Parliament from Is to 90,
and the representatives OF the Montreal
coalition shrank from 30 to 81, losing
control of Parliament. The Jesuit party
sought to subvert the authority of the
Archbishop of Quebec and destroy his
influence, in hopes thereby to regain
power. The Archbishop visited Rome,
and has just returned, bearing a repri.
mand for the Jesuits, which is likely
still further to intensity the conflict, and
may lead to the expulsion of the Jesuits
from Canada.

ADVERTISING AGENCIES.

Newspaper publishers throughout the
continent of America have, from time to
time, been annoyed and suffered heavy
losses through class Of men doing bus
mess under the name of Advertising
Agents" These enterprising( p experts
are in the habit of receiving advertise
ments at price best known to them
selves, and paying, or agreeing to pay
the publisher of a newspaper, thousands
of miles distant, another, and then, to
add Insult to injury, after waste Of
many postage stamps. and much time
consumed in writing them, they send
along a check for half the amount, often
forgetting to remit the balance. In addi-
ton to this trifing inaccuracy in prompt
ness. they charge 25 per cent. commits
sion on the small amount they do for
ward, leaving them much the greater
portion of the principal.
After years of imposition from this
class Of men, we resolved to look around
for one with whom We could inaugurate
an entire new system. We take pleasure
in saying that we have succeeded. Some
time since the RECORD Office intrusted its
San Francisco business with Chas. W.
Crane, No$i26 Montgomery street, with
as to how the business should
be transacted. Mr.. Crane, to his credit
be it said, is big success in the Adver-
Using Agency business, for the simple
reason, that he forwards the full amount
OF each bill the moment the money comes
into his hands, and at a much less rate
of commission than is usually paid to
those in the business. Publishers in Ne
vada having business OF that character in
San Francisco will find it greatly to their
to confer with Mr.. Crane on the
subject. Shuttle off the old stereotyped
leeches, and deal with one who will at.
tend to your business promptly and at
much less cost.

The Humboldt Silver State, of a recent
date, mentions the very fattering copper
prospects, as follows:
George F. Geisse, j. II. Kinkead and
Frank German, visited Bolivia District,
this week, and spent few days examin.
ing the copper mines of that locality.
They are well pleased with the prospects,
and unhesitatlngly pronounce it the mo st
extensive copper region they have ever
seen. Immense masses OF ore, iron and
copper, crop out in different places i'll
the district Several companies are at
work in the district, among others, an
Austin company in which Jude McKen-
ney is largely interested, and all have
good prospects. The Tidal Wave mine,
owned by W. H. Baker & Co., which is
developed to greater extent than any Of
the other mines, is producing ore rich in
quality and large in quantity. A shaft is
sunk on the mine about seventy feet in
depth. The vein of ore has increased in
thickness from two feet at the mouth of
the shaft to seven feet at tho bottom.
About l50 tons Of ore have been extracted
in sinking the shaft, samples of which
have been assayed, aud it is estimated
that the whole pile will yield As per cent.
copper. Black oxide ore was struck in
quantity in the shaft, which yielded 50
per cent. copper. c. S. Kellogg has
commenced building road over the
mountains, TO open direct communica-
ton with the raih DAD at Orena. Mine
owners anxiously await the completion
of this road as it will enable them IN
ship ore direct from the mines, without
being obliged to pack it on animals as
they have been compelled to do at pres
ent. The district is well supplied witt
wood and water, and is, undoubtedly, the
richest copper district in Nevada, if no
on the coast.

SALT LAKE HERALD's OpINIoN.-The
Salt Lake Herald speaks of the verdict in
the Raymond-Hermes case as follows:
The verdict in the Raymond e. Ely rs.
Hermes case was in favor of the latter,
by majority of nine against three,
which, We learn, is legal verdict in civil
causes in Nevada. There were bets made
in Phoebe, on Wednesday evening, of two
to one, that Hermes had seven unaltera-
BILE votes in the jury; and the result
would indicate that those who maintained
that proposition were remarkably we'll
informed; as well-iniormed, indeed, as
gentlemen in this region have been occa-
sionally who have been able to declare
what Judicial decision would be before
it was rendered. OF course, Jurors are
incorruptible, just as judges are immacu-
late; and it would be imagining an utterly
impossible thing to suppose that a num-
Der of the jury in this case had decided
on the manner in which they would vote
independent of the evidence before them.
