To the popular Imagination Long
Branch is crowded, gay community
brimming with Irritation and romance,
and thronged with bathers Of both sexes
animated with the restless life of folly
and fashion. Not so. A more sedate
people cannot be found at any of the
watering-places. Itmight appropriately
be termed the Boston of seaside resorts.
Though crowded, it is not specially gay.
People who go there now seem to go un-
der solemn sense of duty to themselves
and children. Those fire flies Of sprightly
fashion who swept. with sumptuous trail,
the verandas a few seasons ago, have
gone like vision and left not trace
nor other harness behind. Where these
overdressed beauties have gone it would
be difficult to tell, but it is a fact that
Long Branch knows them no more

PRODUCE THE BOOkS.

Ia the days OF the Tammany Ring in
New York constant demands were made,
and were as persistently refused, for the
production of the Comp;roller's books
showing the receipts and expenditures Of
the city. Now there is u great desire on
the part of the people of California for
an inspection OF the accounts OF the Cen
trail Pacific Contract and Finance Com
pany. The latter stoutly aver that they
have nothing 10 conceal. That all their
proceedings were correct, just and law
ful. "Well," says the other side, iii
that is the case, why do you not show
your accounts, and that will put the
matter beyound controversy" No, they
will not do that, but still say the concern
is all right and that there is nothing i'm
proper to be discovered. This dispute
is very similar to the New York affair
Here, as there, several fortunate indi-
yiduals become suddenly and enormous
ly wealthy in connection with public
enterprise, if not a municipal corpora
ton. Here, as there, the people want to
know how the vast sums Of public
moneys that the railroad handled were
applied. But, like the Tweed Ring, the
members of the Railroad Ring obsti-
nately refuse any information. They
dodge all around the question, make oil
sorts of excuses, use all sorts OF argu-
ments, now threaten and then implore
but the one thing needful they will not
do, and that is to throw open the &C.
counts of that mysterious concern, the
Contract aud Finance Company, in
which, by some skillful slight of hand,
millions upon millions were transferred
from the public purse to that of STAN
ford, Crocker, Huntington q Co. That
the thing was done is patent to all; that
they got the money, is certain. There
they are, building residences and adoYn'
ing them with costly works of art, and

tastes which regire an almost fathomless
purse to crafty. They do all this, and
while they are thus enjoying the pro-
ceeds of their ingenuity, surely the pub.
lie have a right to see how the thing was
done. Truely it might not be very salts
factory to inspect the sharp practice
that lined the purses of the Con-
tract Company, bat at least there
would be this benefit arising from it, that
the public might he able to devise some
safeguard for the future. This lattel
consideration is alone of sufficient
weight to cause Congress to insist upor
the disclosure of all the financial trans
actions of the railroad company and it
satellite, the finance ring; but to do thii

tell the tale, whether there is or is no
anything wrong. If, as the compan.

THE NEW PAPER.

We have received the first and second |
numbers OF the new paper, the Virginia !
Independent, and must confess we are |
somewhat disappointed, both in its ap-
pearance and matter. From the well
established reputation Of Mr.. CHM as a
writer and newspaper man, and also the
prospectus Of the Independent, we were
led to anticipate something quite super
Tor in the annals of Nevada journalism;
hut judging from the papers issued so
far, the Independent appears to be a very
ordinary affair indeed. The local de-
partment, which, as it is probably under
the immediate charge Of Mr.. CHM, is
good but the editorial side and the gen.
eral makeup are but weak sisters. In
tome the Independent in name, says it is
Independent in fact; but perusal of its
columns does not bear out the assertion.
1t is evidently published in the interest of
Sutro and his tunnel scheme. We scarce
ly think that savors greatly of independ-
ence. Next, the Independent talks a
good deal of balderdash about robbery,
corruption, etc, in the management Of
the Comstock mines, and says it is going
to protect the stockholders who have
their millions invested in those under
takings. Now we believe, that those
stockholders who own those millions,
are far better able to protect their prop
erty, than the Independent ever can or
will be, and moreover, il they need as
sistance, they will be sure to ask for it,
and probably from some other quarter
than the organ Of q monopoly of far
worse character than those it pretends to
decry. Like gratuitous advice, these
self-elected champions are seldom very
valuable or very acceptable, and as the
shareholders of the Comstock have man.
aged to get along for the past fourteen
years without Sutro, or his tunnel, Of
his newspaper, they will probably moi
recognize him or his paper as the Moses

in which the Independent informs them
they are languishing. Altogether, with
the exception before named of the Local
side, the Independent appears to consis,
mainly of brass and bellows; which, ses
ing the interest it takes in Sutro, is MOI
singular, as they are the marked charac
teristics Of that illustrious chief. We Sc,
the Enterprise says that the Independent
is merely campaign paper. We do mo-
know how that is, but it will certainly
have toquit Sutro and his tunnel scheme
if it desires to attain anything but {
very ephemeral existence. OF course thu
Independent will accept these structures
in the spirit they are offered-that Of
candid friepdship-and it is to be hoped
that when the defects We allude to are
removed, it may enter on useful and
prosperous career.
