POSTAL

The following is a copy Of the con-
current resolutions introduced into the
State Senate, at Carson, on Tuesday
last, by Senator Cassidy of Eureka,
and referred to the Committee on Fed
eral Relations. They should and will
undoubtedly pass both Houses:
WHEREAS, A proper consideration
OF the convenience, not to say riglittul
demands, of the general public Is para
mount to the selfish interests aud qucs-
tionable aims Of corporate m~onopolies;
and
WHEREAS, The dissemination Of In
telligeIce throughout the country Is
not only conducive to Its general pros
perity and consequent increase OF pop
u~lation, but Is also a great necessity,
and should, therefore, be placed within
the reach of all; and believing that
this most desirable end can only be at
tanned by the adoption Of the postal
telegraph system, rs recommended by
Postmaster-Genera Cresswell In his
recent annual report, proving alike to

State, the Pacific coast, and the com-
mercial interests existing between the

the importance Of the recommendation
embodied In the said report. by the
early adoption of a bill establishing a
postal telegraph; wherefore be 1t

THE RHoADEs BONDsMEN.

EDITOR News: The majority report
of the Committee IN State Affairs on
the Rhoades Bond bill is so much to
the point, and so exactly comedies
with my previously expressed ideas on
the subject that ] cannot refrain from
noticing it. It. is really all that al
be said on the affair, and Is In a nut
shell what has taken reams OF paper
to adducc. If the minority Of the
Committee can set forth anything that
can induce the Legislators to take any
other view of the subject than that
expressed by the majority. l should
like to hear 1t. 1t Is as evident pro-
position as that two and two make four
that the State can gain nothing by
pressing the payment Of the amounts
for which a part of the bondsnien are
surety for. Already has the litigation
of the matter cost the State thousands
of dollars, and from all the evidence
that has been adluced, an interminable
litigation must ensue by further press
ing the case. Not more than one.half
of the amount of the defalcation can
possibly be recovered, owing to the
death or insolvency Of the major part
of the bondsmen. There Is point
In the report of the Committee that
needs SOME explanation, and that Is
In reference to the Board Of Exam
liners %neglecting to count the money.
BY the supplemental bill, passed In
February, 1859, the Treasurer was vir-
tually authorized to deposit the State
money In any banking establishment
In the United States that processes to
be under the control of Wells, Fargo
& Co., that institution being as much
an individual OF new York as Of San
Francisco or Carson City, thus depriv-
ing the Board of any possibility Of
ascertaining the amount in the Treas
ury, In the event of the State Treasurer
availing himself Of the door thus
opened to him by the Legislature. What
more easy than for the Treasurer to
borrow money of those with whom he
deposited for the purpose of making
Ills dCCOunLN COEIcCk Ol IhO daJ VI
counting? The testimony had on the
first trial Of the cause proves that such
IL method was resorted to. Then why
cast blame on the Board of Exam
iners? But MS to the bondsmen, l con-
tend that had the proofs adduced at the
trials shown the %defalcatlon to have
been created during the term for which
the sureties were bounden. the money
should have been forced from them with
the Shylock zeal that some of u clti-
ZEN seem to advocate; but such being
not the oase, as has been proved by in
c]ontrovertible testimony, the suretles
ought not, by any rule of business, to
be held. From what l know Of the
members of the Senate, l believe them
to be fair-dealing aud sensible gentle
men, and when they shall have given
the matter deliberate consideration,
and Invested their minds Of any lurking
prejudice. caused by the oit-rcpeated
cry Of "Make them pay" they will
arrive at the conclusion that the better
course to pursue IS to at once and for
ever quash the whole subject matter,
relieve the bondsmen and set the yexed
question at rest. VINDEX.

NEVADA MANUFACTURES.

Although essentially a mining State,
yet Nevada possesses most excellent
facilities for manufacturing ; not only
providing for her W wants In many
things, but ven Of exporting, thus
creating new sources Of revenue. We
do not intend at the present time to 60
into q lengthy dissertation on this sub
ject, but merely to say few words in
favor Of Mr.. Shoafrs bill introduced
before the Legislature at Carson. 1t Is
an Act to encourage the erection Of
wooden and paper mills In the State,
offering a bonus Of $2o,O 900 for the fir't
WOODEN mill. and $4,000 for the first
paper mill, the conditions being that a
specified amount of blankets or OF pa
per should be manufactured. The ma
terial Is not lacking and for water
power, a glance at the Carson, Walker,
Humboldt, and especially the Truckee,
is sufficient. In the manufacture Of
wooden goods and paper. Nevada pos
sesses especial facilities, hence Mr..
Shoafrs bill. Those who are willing
to engage In the enterprise are indi-
vidually poor,an capital is not plenty;
it would, therefore, be excellent policy
on the part Of the State to grant ma
terial aid in the establishment Of such
manufactures, under restrictions, of
course, which should prevent monopo-
lists getting the advantage In the mat
ter. Such aid would not be a gilt, but
a paying investment, yielding bounti-
full returns, and having none Of the OBJ
jectionable features Of aid to large
corporations. Enterprising citizens
who are willing to devote their ener-
gies aud resources to the establishment
Of such manufactures. contribute great
ly to the public good and general well
fare, and are well worthy Of adequate
assistance on the part Of the State.

10 PROTECT MINERS.

Senator Phelan's Act, to Protect
Miners, introduced by him before the
Legislature at Carson, aud referred to
the Committee on Mines and Mining,
was we'll written and we'll intended,
yet not we'll considered and not liable
to prove eventually beneficial to the
very class Of people intended. It pro-
vides that whenever complaint, duly
made under oath, Is presented to a
District Judge, setting forth that the
lives, limbs or health Of the miners
working in or about any mine within
the judicial district arc exposed to ur-
necessary hazard by reason Of INSULT
Client or defective machinery, want Of
proper ventilation, the storing Of pow
der, or erection Of steam engine, or
privy In the mine, or from any other
cause whatever, the District Judge
shall appoint some competent person
as commissioner to examine snch mine.
II this commissioner, upon due examin-
alton as directed, shall find the COM
plant true, or shall find that the lives,
limbs or health Of such miners, from
any other cause, aside from that set
forth In the complaint, are subjected
to unnecessary hazard, he shall sug-
gest In his report the most expeditions
and cheapest mode Of correcting the
evil !; and the District Judge shall, by
written order directed to the owner or
owners or the agent in charge Of such
mine, require the evil complained Of
to be corrected In the manner specified
In said report. In case Of non-compli-
ance on the part Of the mine manage.
ment, with such order, the Judge shall
impose a fiue Of not less than 500 nor
o than $500. II, however, the
Judge shall find that such complaint
Is made through malicious or improper
motives, he shall fine the complainant
not less than $25, nor more than 800.
Duo reflection will, to the mind Of
any practical. sensible miner, suggest
that there are far more feasible and
ready ways Of correcting the evils
mentioned than are provided BY Mr..
Phelan's bill. Generally speaking,
the mines Of the Comstock, to which
the Act Is supposed to moro especially
apply, are fully as we'll ventilated, ar
ranged and provided for, as any SINH
lar mines In the world. As fast and
often as practicable, connections by
WINES and drifts are made with the
different levels at various points and
with n~eighboring mines, thus giving
all available air circulation and fur
nishing means Of escape In case Of sud-
den danger. Where new levels are
being opened and drifts, wines, or
similar operations conducted, the tenn
perature Is naturally hot and oppres-
sivc, and air Is forced Into them from
the surface by expensive artificial
means, and as for the sanitary regula-
tions of any mine, they are best attend
ed to by those who work there. So,
too. with inadequate or detective ma
chlnery, or any other fault in the ar
engagements Of q mine. No man is
obliged to work amid unusual danger
of any kind to either health. life or
limb. In short the evils specified are
the most readily and appropriately
remedied by the miners themselves
either by personal application to the
management or through the combined
power Of their own Unions, and not
by application to the Courts.
