Correspondence of the Appeal
ELKo, December 2, 1874.
ED. APPEAL: The present session OF
the District Court, at this place, is re-
carded with more interest probably, by
the public at large than any other held
in the county since its organization.
The cases of peculiar interest before the
Court are four; three shooting scrapes,
and one suit against the c. p. Railroad
for damages to the amount of $4,000.
The circumstances of this case involve
some delicate issues at law. Jim Quig-
lev. brick mason of this town, pur-
chased ticket to San Francisco some
time ago from Beam Pi1ley who was
then ticket agent for the company at this
place. Quigley claimed. at the time Of
purchase that no ticket was delivered to
him, and Pixley, it seems, gave him an
other; but, seeing his mistake, demand

pared himself to supply his patrons
and the genera! public with some new,
rare, desirable, choice goods-some-
thing superior to the common stock oil
merchandise offered by himself and
other merchants in his line of trade.
In pursuance of this commendabie
and gratifying custom, Mr.. Rosen-
stock has purchased lot of elegant oil
paintings in handsome frames; an
assortment of beautiful artificial flow
ers so exquisitely wrought at the
hands of a French artist as to put ma
ture herself to the blush; some mag
nificent watches, jewelry, diamonds
and chains; and such a selection OF
furnishing goods, hats, caps, etc, etc,
as never before was seen IN carson.
And more than all this, Mr.. Rosen-
stock lets not his light smudge and
smother under a bushel; but lie makes
known from the house tops, as itwere,
that he is prepared, as aforesaid, to
please the fancy and tempt the patron
age of the public who are looking for
beautiful and useful things for the
HOLIDAYS. We take great pleasure in
directing the attention of the readers
OF the APPEAL to Mr.. Rosenstock' $
column. Read it we'll and then 60
and look at Joe aud his goods. wares
and merchandise.

TIE alarm of fire yesterday forenoon
was caused by smoky fluo in the

LITTLE CHARLEY O'DoHERTT, laid low
with the scarlet fever and attendant
throat distemper, was bravely fighting
for life Yesterday, and the hope was that
he might prove strong enough to pull
through. Rut he was very dangerously
beset by his dreadful nilment. all day;
and when we inquired concerning him
last night, the chances were very slim
indeed, for his recovery. There is many
a wish that he may weather the storm.

A WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT OF tne
World makes the recent issue Of Treasury
circular of instructions, by the Secretary oil
the Treasury, regarding the collection OF
duties under the Revised Statutes of June
, %, 1874 the occasion Of an abusive ana
most unjust attack upon Judge Poland, the
chairman of the House Committee upon the
Revision of the Laws. He charges that
Judee Poland, in offering amendments to
the act in the House, not only suffered him
self to be prompted by Treasury officer to
rnIsrepresent the facts, but that he also will
fully connived at new legislation upon the
tariff, under the pretence of simply
giving explicit Interpretation to existing
laws. We need hardly say to those who
know Judge Poland that there Is not sim
Gle word of truth in these charges and in
situations. He not only ranks as one OF
the ablest lawyers and statesman In Con-
gress, but he Is universally esteemed In the
House as the soul of honor and fairness.
But apart from this, what possible motive
could Judge Poland have in modifying laws
against the interests Of honest merchants
Whist benefit could accrue to him person
ally, or to Treasury employee, from any
legislation of this chsracterf The thing is
absurd. The charges are made to injure
the Judge in his present canvass. We trust
they will fail of their purpose.

POLITICAL NOTES.

1t Is definitely settled that General Butler Will
run for Congress in the Sixth Massachusetts, dIs-
triet.
Mr.. sutro, OF tunnel uotoriety, has formally
announced himself as 9 candidate for the United
States Senate from Nevada.
Il is now claimed by the friends OF General
Burnside that he will be promptly elected United
States Senator by q large majority, as soon
Is the next session Of the Rhode Island LsgiE-
lsturs opens.
The Ottawa (IIl.) Republican says: 1--WE don't
fear Q war Of races, nor DO We think the rights Of
the negro, under the constitutional amendments,
will be openly violated SO long as the Republican
party controls the General Government"
The Kansas Democrat is disguised with the In
dependent movement, and says: Tho true policy
Of the Democrats In Kansas is to call 8 conVen-
tIou and nominate straight Democratic ticket,
standing upon square platform Of white mems
rights"
general Butler" echoes the Brooklyn A, gus,
sis still cause Of chronic alarm to the political
maehInIsts Of the Old Bay Commonwealth. In
their despair they talk Of making him President
OF the United States, in order to prevent him be-
coming Governor Of Massachusetts"
In Q recent letter to . friend Judge Poland
said there never was 50 much foolish nonsense
so-called." He says the law, In substance, pro-
vides that II 9 man commits q crime against the
United States in the District Of Columbia he may
be arrested aay where in the country and sent
there for trial. No Law Of Congress, he says, can
make libel an ofense against the United States
and this particularly "hss no more application to
libel than Il has TO smallpox"
The New York Graphic says General Butler
has found q fosmsn worthy Of his steel. He Il
one General CoggsweIl, who means to beard the
lion In his den by contestIng the Essex district
with him. 1t Is brave thing to do, but one Rich.
ard H. Dana tried the same thing once upon q
time and has not been heard Of since. One of the
Worcester papers tells Us that General Buffers
strength is greatly oVerrated. In fact, he is O
very weak candidate. We family remember read.
ing the same thing before In q Boston paper. But
somehow, notwithstanding his weakness, he man,
ages to roll up heavy msjorltieS in his district,
and the terror OF his name keeps all the little
boys OF Boston quiet as lambs.

Tast is set forth at length In the same old
adjectives and degrees of cOmparisOn-all OF
which will be taken for what 1t is worth.
We had hoped that the subject of transpor-
tation and internal improvements would
have been presented in some strong and
steady light by the two parties; but 1t has
not. All the platforms refer to 1t; all pro-
fess to favor it; but as q rule, the reference
is so vague and shadowy, leaving the peo-
pie in doubt as to whether 1t should be done
by the States or the United States, that 1t
really means nothing. The issue has not
yet been made up. Again, little or nothing
is said about the restoration of our com
merce, which to our mind Is one Of the
most important of questions, and upon
which we should have some policy. In q
word, the general criticism might be made
that the politicians have left unsaid many
things about which the people are thinking
and upon which they will soon demand de-
cisive action; that they have conjured up
more phantoms Of other years and other
issues than is either profitable or wise.

argue that further temporizing with such
miscresnts would be criminal. But "the
blood Of the martyrs is the seed of the
Church" Time will show that the blood
of these negroes, and of the thousands OF
others of whose murder we have heard
nothing, and OF all those who have fallen
victims to the revived influence of the
demon of slavery, has not been shed in
vain. They are simply and truly the sac
rllce offered upon the altar of Equal Rights.
A few more such ''wars" as this and the
civil rights bill will be a foregone conclu-
sion.

4 EREYCHM4N OY GRANT.

A late number Of the Revue dsS DsuF MondsS
contains an article on Charles Sumner, from the
pen of Mr.. Auguste LSugel. The article contains
the following account OF visit by the writer to
Gen. Grants headquarters
Gen. Grant is Q cold and silent man; he had
given me . tent at his headquarters, but during
my short stay saw him only at the dinner, which
was as short as frugal. Hardly q word was ut
tered before him; remember that one day an
the mouth Of q river and said the bar at low tide
was sixteen feet deep: Grant lifted up his head:
Eighteen feet" said he, and nothing more was
said. When was ready to leave, gave notice
the day before, as was the rule; that day, after
dinner, the General, who usually went back to
his tent, did me the honor to ask me to take 3
in January. "You brought me letter from
Sumner" said he TO me; 81 take no part in poll
