THE Sutro Tunnel Amendment bill has

The Sutro Tunnel Amendment bill has
been taken from the consideration of the
Senate Committee on Mines and Mining
aud referred to the Judiciary Committee,
SO far us regards the legal points. The
ground on which this action was taken
is that two Of the committee were ineli-
gible to pass on the bill. One Senator
(JOnes) had direct interest in the sub
ject matter, and the other (Sargent) had
already expressed an opinion hostile to
Sutro and the proposed amendments.
Apropos of this Sutro affair. the Virginia
Enterprise makes statement which, if
true, ought to cause the expulsion Of sew
eral members of Congress and severe
punishment 10 be administered to them
as well as to Sutro The Enterprise says
it is informed that
Mr.. Sutro owns and controls a certain
number of leading members of the House
of Representatives,; that he has subsi
died other members to vote for any
measures which he may dictate, and that
it is this reason which makes him sc
pompous when he takes his seat in the
gallery behind the Speakers chair and
issues his orders to his paid members.
The conundrum is now in order, who
are they?

THE PRESIDENTS VIEWS ON
FINANCE.

WASHINGTON, April 80.
Allusion having been made to Presi-
dent Grant about compromise of the
finance measure that would be accept
able to both sides, the President replied
that he did not know what force was in
tended to apply to the term compromise,
unless it was an agreement to carry out
the pledges OF the country that might be
considered compromise by those who
originally defeated every proposition Of
fered during the discussion in Congress,
and by so agreeing have reason to believe
such legislation would meet his approval.
1t has been said that he promised in his
last annual message to heartily support
any measure Congress might decide
upon. He did not intend any such con.
structon to be put upon his language,
and if he had not made himself under
stood, more recent message would clear
up anything like ambiguity. One thing
he had endeavored to make plain during
his administration, and that was he was
for carrying out the solemn pledges OF
the government at the earliest day pos
sible, and return to a specie basis; the
establishment of cur currency on gold
and silver basis had been uppermost in
MS NINA whenever ne sent congress MS
annual message. He had not said what
kind Of bill he would approve, but ex-
presses his earnest hope that Congress
would dispose OF the question of the re-
distribution of $25O0O,000 of banking
currency, with S5,00O,O0O of notes be-
longing to broken banks and banks in
liquidation. The South and West ought
to furnish for the present all that was
asked for, and he had been assured since
his veto of the finance bill that New
England banks were anxious to reduce
their circulation, inasmuch as bonds now
held for circulation would be released,
and furnish them with larger currency
capital for loan than they now have;
which securities were worth in legal ten.
ders sixteen or seventeen cents above par
and National banking notes were bound
to be secured under existing laws. He
did not wonder New England banks were
anxious to cancel their notes and gel
their bonds; in fact the suggestion came
to him only last Fall, during the strin.
gency of the money market, and he
thought it worth calling the attention Of
| Congress to it in his last message, and
since then he had heard nothing to change
his opinion on the point.

fired twice without effect. Mountain

ed by a Mr. Newell, who also fired one
shot. One of the last two took effect In
the leg of one OF the robbers, but with

made the capture numbered five in all,
four from Santa Cruz and Mountain

will be dealt out to them, the deed being
