Thursday morning, William Carr, iani-
tor Of the First National bank building,
upon entering the rooms, in the ordinary
discharge Of his duty, noticed that the

vault was cracked, and suspecting mis-
chief, hastencd to inform the officers Of the
bank. II Wa soon discovered that the

DEFERRED TELEGRAMS.

WASHINGTON, June 20--In the House,
sas Affairs, presented a report OF the tes-
timony already taken. The report was
ordered printed and resolution to con-
tinue the powers of the committee adopt
ed by vote of 139 to IA. 1t was the
universal opinion of the members of the
committee, both Democratic and Re-
publican. that the continuance was nee.
essary in order to arrive at the facts and
obtain satisfactory evidence. 1t was
stated that during the debate that the
case involved considerable more expense
than that of South Carolina.
Dawes presented the report OF the Con-
ference on the Currency bill and pro-
ceeded to explain the same. He regret
ted the report did not contain, as did the
first report, a provision for specie re-
sumption or for any retirement under
any circumstances OF any portion of the
currency. He regretted exceedingly that
it had been found impossible to bring
the Houses together on such an agree
ment; but the matter, which seemed to
be by some not only demanded by pub.
lie faith, but also seemed easy OF accom-
plishment, had been found impossible to
regulate through the two Houses or in
two Conference Committees, The com.
mittee, however, could not hesitate; to
feel that the fixing of the maximum is.
sue OF greenbacks was something gained,
had therefore fixed the maximum at

II on some tramway. The second feature
OF the bill, equally important, was that
there should be no further increase of
National Bank currency; therefore the
country would know, as far as this Con.
gress is concerned, that the whole
amount of the National Bank currency
was capable of being ascertained.

The APOSTLE CANNON. Washing
ton correspondent of leading Chicago
paper, the Tribune, thus refers to this
Congressional Delegate from Utah:
He is of the homespun order. His
gray trousers, vest and hair indicate the
thrifty agriculturist of middle years, and
his voice has an eyhorting twang OF the
circuit rider. The first sweep would
brush him in as country deacon. As
he talks, however, the sentences take on
a legal flavor, and you would say that he
was an acute bucolc attorney. Further
along in his dress, he develops q knack
at repartee, such as insures success to
the rural politician, and You are sure
that he is no stranger to the stump
Ere be finishes, rhetorical trim invests
his words. which, with his photographic
presentation of his opinions, proves him
to have had editorial training. And, in
deed, be is all of these. His round, red
face has glistened behind a pillow. His
grizzled beard has wagged in court. His
great, heavy figure has adorned many a
Utah rostium. His thick fingers have
grasped an able editorial quill Cannon,
in spite OF his four wives, has found time
to cultivate the professions, make for
tune, and school himself into clear and
interesting debater.
He had the shrewdness to ignore po
lygamy in his address, devoting himself
to the injustice Of special legislation
He asks only that the same sort of law
might be enacted for one Territory a.
for another. When the polygamus bug
aboo was held up to him, he laughed
down, or gave it a good-humored word
A carpet-bagging shrimp from Missis
sippi, one Mckee, snapped two or thre
irrelevant questions at Cannon; but tn
Mormon magnate doubled him up wit
great ease It was not time for haires
terriers to step into the fight.

Ii short, for our representatives we
must have men whose interests demand
the careful watching Of all schemes likely
to be detrimental to the welfare Of the
Pacific slope. And what applies to us
in California, applies with ten times as
much force to our neighbors in Nevada.
1t is not very likely that any man would
attempt to strike at all the material in
terests in the State because they are so
varied, but with our nei2hbors it is diff
ferent, their principal source OF wealth
being mining and its associate industries.
That man could attempt to injure them
through this channel We have lately had
good evidences and they, therefore, In
choosing their Senator must be very
careful to get one that will do his utmost
to protect them in this direction. FIJI
ling the bill most completely, stands for
ward prominently WIN. Sharon. Not
very celebrated as an orator or politician,
yet having great reputation as work
er, Mr.. Sharon is at once bound by all
the ordinary interests, the influence of
which is felt by politicians, and by also
no inconsiderable personal interest 10
these very industries, which he would
find it his business to protect. Every
one knows that the chief work in Con-
gress, or, indeed, in any legislative body,
is not done by the brilliant orators or de-
bators, but by the quiet committee men.
1t is lust snch places as these that Mr..
Sharon's influence would be most strong
" felt. Then, again, it is quite possible
that if Mr.. Sharon does arrive IN Wash
ington, we may find the same pleasant
disappointment awaiting us that we had
in the case OF Mr.. Jones, and they in the
Senate Chamber meet another cool, eau
tious and eloquent debater, ready to give
them ideas on fnace and the laws oil
trade.
We find the above very sensible re-
marks in the San Francisco Stock Re.
port, OF the 18th inst. Some months
ago we announced our conviction that
Sharon was more likely to faithfully rep.
resent Nevada than any of his competi,
tors, because he was deeply interested in
the branch of business which is the sole
support of the State. The present SEES
sion of Congress has afforded US repeated
instances of the danger to which the
single interest of Nevada is exposed by
the knavery of designing spectators,
aided by Congressional rosuery or stu
pidity. We want our representatives al
Washington TO be men thoroughly alive
to the consequences of negligence, and
ready at all times to expose the schemes
that seek to trammel, perhaps destroy,
the only profitable industry of any mag
nitude possessed by this State. This
being the case, who are likely to be unre-
hitting in their vigilance and bold and
determined in their opposition to the
enemies of the mining interest than the
man who is in the same boat, who has
great ventures embarked in the yer.
business the existence of which is so es
sentlal to the State, and which is con
stantly being made the object OF the ma
chinations OF the greedy lobbyist AM
thick.headed, blcolic Legislator? Thi
is exactly the position of Sharon, ant
that is the reason why We support him

The Supreme Court Of Utah has rem
dered decision in the matter of the
power Of the city authorities to arrest
and punish United States soldiers for the
violation of municipal ordinances. Fol-
lowing is the substance of the decision:
That the soldiers OF the national army
can be demanded by and delivered to
the civil authorities TO be tried and pun
ished only when charged with offense in
time Of peace, such rs is punishable un-
der the known laws of the land. That a
city ordinance is not known law OF the
land; but when soldier, off duty, vio-
lates an ordinance forbidding drunken
ness and disorderly conduct, in the alb
sence of his post guard he may be arrest
ed by the civil authorities, but not pun
ished by them. That in case of such an
arrest, it is the duty of the civil authori-
ties to deliver over such soldier to the
military. at the demand of the latter, for
punishment. That if the civil authori-
ties refuse to deliver the offender on such
demand, or proceed to try and punish
him, the military authorities may take
him by force. That instead Of resorting
to force, should the military authorities
present a petition to Federal Court or
Judge of the Territory, the prisoner will
be discharged on habeas corpus.

THE CURRENCY BILL.

The Congressional mountain has
labored for many weeks and has at last
brought forth its offspring on the cur
rency question, which proves to be OF
the smallest possible dimensions. As
described by Davis when he offered the
report of the Conference Committee, the
bill merely fixes the total amount Of the
issue of greenbacks at $685., 900, 900, does
away with the revenue that Richardson
was 80 fond of tinkering with and
makes reduction of the National Bank
circulation. The actual alterations OF
the former laws on the subject are not
very important, either in their nature or
probable effects, but this much has been
gained: declaration against the further
issue of irredeemable currency, and also
the opinion of the great mass OF the peo-
pie has been Enthusiastically pronounced
in favor of protecting the credit and
honor of the nation by speedy return
to convertible circulation. Thus some
thing has been gained, and even a steI
made in the right direction, though bu
a small one. For this and for the
prevention OF further imitation the coun'
try is undoubtedly indebted to the firm
ness of President Grant. He has don
many foolish, unwise and perverse acts
but he certainly wiped out long, lon
list of errors when he manfully stoo
up and indicated the honor of the couI
try against the attacks that herd OF II
corrupt politicians who have controlle
Congress directed against it. For Thu
good deed Grant must always /
praised and thanked. Now that til
laws of trade and ever increasing resoul
ces OF the country are allowed to hay
fair play for time, it may be expecte
that the premium on gold will dminis
until the gap between the national mote
and the precious metal will be but SINAI
1t may also be confidently hoped that
an ordinary degree of sense and honest
controls the operations of the Unit
States Treasury, that the difference W
ultimately be so little, that the tran'
tion to specie payments may be effect
successfully and without any disturban
OF commerce.

were worked a number OF years ago ane
abandoned on account OF the Indians be-
coming troublesome. Two lodges wer,
surveyed-one the Mapzanillo, and thu
other the northeastern extension OF thu
Ophir mine. In 1865 the men working
these claims under the ownership OF tai
Marlborough Gold and Silver Mining
Company were driven of by the Indians
and the superintendent killed. Som'
S34 900 has been expended by the com
pany on the mines. and forty-two tons o
ore were left on the dumps when aban
doned. The miners were so closel.
pressed that they could not make thei
way out of the country by way OF Lo
Angeles, but fed to Visalia. The I'll Pas
mining regions lie south of Cerro Gord'
and on the proposed line of the Los An
geies and Independence Railroad. Will

ed by the company of which be is
