pledges Of Congress in return TO specie

ter little different from the views OF
this committee. The President said the
chairman Of a similar committee from
Boston called on him yesterday. aud II he
ever could be in favor of imitation IT
would be from the effects Of such argu-
ments as that gentleman advanced
against it. But that position was unlike
that of this committee. The Boston
men started out with a condemnation OF
what he 1.-THE Presdent) had always be-
lieved TO be right. They opposed the
purchase OF United States bonds with
the surplus from the United States
Treasury, and if he had acted as the
Boston committee wanted him to, be
would have kept such surplus in the
Treasury till there was no greenbacks in
circulation. These bonds were pur-
chased at his own direction. Another
argument was used in the Boston me-
mortal, that the issue of greenbacks was
of doubtful legality and was to he de-
plored, and had to be sustained by a
bare majority of one in the Supreme
Court. In conclusion the President re-
peated that his views on the question
were already known as against imitation,
and as opposed to breaking away from
the redemption of pledges.

CURRENCY MATTERS.


The people in the Eastern States seem
in dead earnest in their opposition TO the
further imitation of an irredeemable cur
rency. They are in the right, and We
are glad TO say that the Senator from Ne.
vada, J. p. Jones, also placed himself
right on the record. Ne say the Senator
from Nevada-we mean that, though our
State is, of course, entitled to two, at
present we have only one Senator, viz:
Senator Jones; the other nominal Sena.
tor being nothing more than Il Senatorial
attorney for the Central Pacific Railroad.
This anomalous condition OF things, we
are happy to say, will ere very great
while, be rrmedied, and a Senator will
be elected that has some important in
terests in this State in common with his
constituents. But to come back to OUT
muttons. We find from our kilograms
published this morning that strong and
influential Populations have been sent
from New York and Boston representing
a considerable portion of the wealth aud
business talents OF both those cities, ask
ing the President to veto the measures
looking to an increase of the volume of
the currency. OF course, they (the
deputations) did not derive any great
amount of satisfaction or information
from their interview with the present
chief magistrate Of the nation. That
was probably too much to expect. This
result was, however, reached that two
influential populations from the two
greatest commercial marts in the
Union have set their faces directly
and firmly against the further issue
of irredeemabe promises TO pay and
asking that measures be taken to pro-
mote an early redemption Of specie pay
mems. This is as it should be. No
great commercial people can, as a COM
munity, afford to ignor its faith with the
public creditor. such proceedings not
only sap pubic but also private credit,
and it does honor TO the men engaged in
carrying on the vast commerce of the
American people, and they have taken
steps to show that the wretched dema-
gogues and professional politicians that
misrepresent them in Congress do not
reflect, e-echu or confirm the real voice
of the people, which is to pay their debts
fully, speedily and honorably. Cursed
as the nation has been with such cur
rency-tinkers as Boutwell,, Richardson,
Morton, and the rest of the Presidents
clique, it is positively refreshing and
cheering that the great heart OF the peo-
pie throbs true as ever to the liquidation
of their obligations as speedily as cir
cumstances will permit. The merchants
of New York and Boston, representing
the larger share OF the aggregate capital
of the country, are getting tired Of this
continued renewal Of accommodation
bills, and desire to place the currency,
the promissory notes of the nation, on u
basis by which they can be redeemed on
presentation at the counters of the
Treasury. May success crown their
efforts

THE sANRORN INVESTIGATION.

This matter is looking blacker, dirtier
and nastier than ever. The prevailing
tone of the witnesses who should be
fully posted in the matter is that, to use
the Missourian' S expression, They don't
know nauthen about nauthen." No,
they did not want to know. The knowl-
edge was dangerous. 1t suited these
fellows to be kept in blissful ignorance so
long as it paid. But now the Secretary
OF the Treasury knows nothing, his
locum tenens nothing, the latter's man
patchwork nothing. They are all as OBJ
iivious as SO many dead jackas5es; if
ever they did know anything (of which
crime their worst enemies never accused
them), they know nothing now. What a
singular, what remarkable, what pc.
culiar fact it is that men are selected for
high positions of trust and honor, and
the greatest accommodation they possess
for their preferment is that they know
nothing about what they do or theil
duties. That is a droll qualification fol
great and important national office, i.
it not? But this is what Mr.. Richardson
the Secretary of the Treasury, and his
subordinates profess. They are evi.

school, Sothern, tn. actor, ought to
take them around the country as star
troupe, for nothing could possibly equal
their dense but comical stupidity.

SAN Francisco, April l7.-As the ferry
boat Alameda was leaving the slip at

Vasquez, the notorious bandit, and his
gang are again heard from, this time near
Los Angeles. He is still committing
depredations. The last exploit of the
chief was to take an Italian trader pris-
oner and oblige him to give a check on

send his son to draw the money. A
Sheriff's posse is in pursuit, with fair
chance of overtaking the desperate.
Later.-It is reported in the city tonight
that the desparado Tiburcio Vasquez and
his gang are captured by the Sheriff OF
Los Angeles.

TAXES AND AssESsMENTs.- time is
close at hand when our citizens will be
called upon to make their annual returns
of the property they possess for taxation.
1t is to be hoped that this year the whole
county will be called upon, and those
from whom money is collected will find
that their payments are duly accounted
for at the public treasury. The County
Commissioners are also reminded that it
is their dnty to see that full returns and
payments are made at the proper time.
A neglect of these essential duties al
ways cause troubles which are easy to
avoid by strict adherence to law as
laid down in the statute books.

SHOOTING IN LONE PINE.-A curious
sort of shooting affair came off at Lone
Pine the other night. Jim Motfitt has a
fine mule, and from the movements of
certain Mexicans he thought there would
be chance for him to lose that mule
unless he kept close watch. Accord
ingly he put him in Columns stable and
made his own bed in the same apart
ment. About midnight Jim was awak-
ened by noise Of some one endeavoring
to enter the door, and believing it to be
some Vesquez man after his mule, blaZed
away with his six-shooter through the
door. 1t SO happened that Utterback,
who has an interest in that stable, and
who had just returned with his team,
was the man making the noise, and at
whom Moffitt fired The ball grazed
Utterback's left arm. He was aston
ished, of course, and ran off to get help
to assist him in securing the bloody
minded robber he had corraled in his
stable. The "bloody robber" in the
meantime was congratulating himself
