Reputation.

Our daily contemporaries do not seem to
know that az important organization is
being effected in this city, with consider
able leaning towards reputation. This
organization is not by any means confined
to Democrats, but includes numbers of Re.
publicaps. National politics are ruled out
aud only local issues taken up.
As We have heard, the main points in
sisted upon are first, no Licenses second,
no wharfage; third, reduction of the tax
to about one fifth of what it is now fourth,
reputation of all public debts tainted
with bribery, or strong prima facie suspi
cion of bribery, in their origin, as we'll as
all debts illegally incurred.
1t is unnecessary to say that We heartily
concur in the whole of this programme, with
the single reservation that we cannot,
under any circumstances, favor the repudi-
alton of an honest debt. Indeed, we are
assured that the members of the associa-
ton make the same reserv alton themselves
and have no intention of Sinking any obi
cation lawfully and honestly incurred.
The system of licenses s peculiarly OBJ
iectionable. 1t is both unjust and i'm polite
unjust in the inequality with which it
imposes the same tax on one man who does
business of a million per annum and on
another whose humber dealing falls within
the few thousands and impolitic in this
that it foolishly checks the enterprise of
active young men who understand bust
ness but have too small capital to afford
the payment of licenses.
Free wharves are also OF first Importance
to place like New Orleans, of which COM
merce is the whole life, aud which has
numerous rivals. Monopolies have so en-
HANGED the rates of every employ ment
auxiliary to commerce at this point that
expenses has become most oneIous. A few
men profit for the moment by this blood
sucking process, perfectly Indifferent to
the fact that they are destroying tue gen.
eral interests. They are perfectly willing
to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs,
but our solid, industrious and resoute
citizens above referred to, are determined
that they sha'nt pursue that policy any
longer.
AS to taxes, it is perfectly useless to dis
cuss the question our people are not able
to carry the burden placed on their shout
ders by those who ought to be their friends.
Two and half per cent on double assess
ment is an outrage; three quarters of one
per cent, on actual values, is all that ought
to he asked of our people now, by the city
government. Half million of revenue is
ample for the city to have in these times.
AS for interest on public debts, it ought not
to be paid for the present. We do not say
permanently, but while the present terri
BILE distress lasts. We are in the position
of man who goes into Court aud asks q
respite of his creditors. Some of these
days we may be able to pay the honest
portion of our public debt, say about one
tenth of it, bnt certainly our people are
not able to pay either principal OF inter rest
of it at this time.

LITANY OF OUR LADY OF LoURDEs.-Mr. P.
F. Gogarty, Isl Camp street, has published
this litany in circular form. A note on the
first page, signed by Father Rouxel, Director
of the Confraternity here, states that it is
translated from the French by permission of
the ecclesiastical authority" We think that
a mistake has been made in having the Litany
printed in bronEed letters, which renders it
difficult to read.

SHOOTING AFFRAY IN VIRGINIA
CITY.


Sundays Enterprise contains the fol-
lowing particulars of q shooting afiray
in Virginia City:
Last night about II o'clock a shoot
lrg aifrav occurred in this place It the
FL Dorado Saloon, North { street, be-
tween Matt. BEDDING and "A member of
the sporting fraternity known as " Lit
tie Barney in which the latter WAS
shot III three places. and, it is sup
posed, morlally wounded. 1t is said
thai an old grudge OF SOME kind exist
eel between thu" parties. Little Barney
came INTO the saloon, and, as WE are
Informed, said To I;cdding: "Draw
and defend your>clf!" With this
some say tina. Barney fired at Redding,
while others say that Barney never
fired AT all. In The confusion which
followed the atfray it MAS impossible
to get at the exact truth. However,
after very few words the shooting be-
gan. some five or six shots We're fired
III all. BarneN's worst wound is in the
lower part of the body, the ball en:er-
ing Just o the right nip and pass.
ing through the bladder. This is tie
wound which it is thought iii IrDye
fatal. Another shot passed through
the right H. I'll. about half WAY be-
tween the knee and hip joint; anoth, r
cut through the flesh or his
lett Side, ihiilcting a eve but not
dangerous wound, and il was said that
Il shot also struck his right thumb. In
one corner oi the saloon, under tn,

stairway, there were to I've seen in the
wainscoating the holes made nv four
bullets, and near the center Of the cell
ing of the saloon q fifth bullet hole ap-
peared in the plastering. Rcddiny,
who, we believe, is interested in a game
that is running ut the saloon, was ar
rested by officers lIayton and Simp-
son.. Barney VAS taken to the resi-
dencc of DR.. {. 4. Green, where his
wounds were examined. All the bull
lets appear to have passed through the
parts of the body they struck except
one which we understood the attend
ing physician to say WAS the one which
inflicted he wound first mentioned
that thought To be mortal. 1t seemed
to lie the opinion Of the physician that
the wounded man would live three or
four days. AT the time Of our visit to
the residence of the physician. Bar
ncy'S friends we're discussing the pro-
priety of removing him to his lOdy-
ing>. and We low learn that he was
finally taken to his room on Il street,
where he vas visi'ed by Rev. Father
Manogue. who received his confession
and administered the proper religious
consolation. The affair created COn.
siderable excitement in the vicinity of
the place where it occurred. but we
heard of no bad blood between the
friends Of either party. the qdarTcI
being one in regard to which none hut
the parties themselves appeared to he
posted.
Barney died on sunday. as we learn
from q telegram received yesterday.

NEW d LEAD MARKED,

We find in an exchange of recent
date some reference to the condition Of
the New York lead market. Believing
the same TO lie of interest TO Eurekans,
we quote as follows: Western lead
was thrown into the market in consid-
cradle quantities in small lots, which
were sold on arrival at the best prices
they would bring, usually Lilo to = g.
below the figure asked for New York
brands. The New York holders met
the market, and consequently the de-
cline has reached six cents. where it
seems likely to remain for the imme-
diate present.
Our stock on hand is extremely
light. The total can not exceed over
$40 tons, aud is certainly below that
estimate rather than above it. The re-
ceipts Of bullion do not reach fifty tons
II week. The Esxii.i. market is still
declining, 50 that spanish can be laid
down here duty paid at less than 81 c.
gold. There Is, however, no DISPOSE
lion to purchase even at these reduced
figures"

INTERSTATE NERCE,

Pending the discussion of the Me-
Crazy bill for the regulation of inter
State commerce, several opinions OF
the Supreme Court We're cited @ show
that that tribunal recognized the power
of Congress ovc the subject. An
opinion delivered by Mr.. Justice
Strong is directly in point. We quote:
Beyond all question the tran>porta-
ton OF freight, or of the subjects OF
commerce, for the purpose Of exchange
or sale. Is a constituent of commerce
itself. This has been doubted.
and probably the transportation of ar
ticleS of trade II ON one State to anOth-
er was the prominent idea III the minds
of the trainers of the Constitution
when I o Congress IA committed the
power to regulate commerce amor
the several states. " Nor does
it make any difference whether this
Interchange Of commodities i by land
or by water. In either east the bring
ing OF the goods from the seller to the
buyer Is commerce.
II is not necessary to the present
case to 90 at large into the much de-
Dated question whether the power Civ
Ell to Congress by the Constitution to
regulate commerce among the States
Is exclusive. In the earlier decisions
of this Court it was said To have been
50 entirely vested in ConyresS. that no
part OF it can be exercised by IA State.
Ii has indeed often been argued, and
sometimes intimated blythe Court. that
so far as Congress has not legi>lated
on the subject, the States may le.iS-
late respecting Interstate commerce.
However this may be, the rule has
been asserted with great clcarneS>.
that whenever the subjects over which
a power to regulate commerce is as
serted are in their nature national. or
admit of II uniform system or plan
OF regulation, they may justly be said
10 be OF such a nature as to require eX-
elusive legislation by Congress. Sure
ly transportation of passengers or
merchandise through IA State. or from
II State 10 another, is OF this nature.
Yet, if they can, why may they not
add regulations to commerce with for
elgn nations, beyond those made by
Congress. If not inconsistent with
them? For the power owe both for
eigH and inter State commerce is ron
ferreti upon the Federal Legislature by
the same words. And certainly it has
never Yet been decided by this court
that the power Ia regulate Interstate,
a> well as foreign commerce. is not ex-
clusively in Congress. Cases that have
sustained State laws, alleged To be
regulations OF commerce among the
States, have been such as related &c
bridges or dams across wholly
within a State. police, or health laws,
or subjects Of a kindred nature, moi
strictly commercial regulations"
Other cases are referred to a. bearing
upon the great question. but all tend
in the same direction as the above. Ii
is true that some of the decisions
throw out the animation that in the
absence OF Congressional law, the
States may. To some extent, exercise
control oyer the subject, though il is
quite obvious that the Supreme Court
strongly inelines To the view that the
best authority is vested in Congress.

THE

There is a sentiment prevailing in
this community that the recent nego-
tiations With reference to the Narrow
Gauge are apt TO retard the compile
ton of that very important enter
prise. Whether this view of the
case is correct or the reverse We have
40 means OF knowing. All We know
on the subject was embodied i'll a dis
10 the SENTINEL IL day last week.
Those gentlemen volunteered the
statement that they intended To
devote their energies exclusively
TO the building of the road.
and further promised to push the
work with the utmost vigur. How
much of the road is likely TO he COM
pleted this season. no outsider can well
conjecture. We confidently anticipate.
however. that forty miles will be in
successful operation prior 70 the first of
September next. Whether the remain
iu- forty miles will be completed during
the present year is a question that is
very difficult 10 determine with any
degree Of certainty. We sincerely
hope that the whole line may be in
motion before another Winter is upon
us. for disguise the facts as " e may, Eu-
reka must inevitably experience dull
tim \. for three p fni1r months nt each
year until we have rail connection
with the Central Pacific. In the
Winter of ISL we all attributed the
~>tagnation in business to the small
poN which prevailed to such an alarm
ing extent: i'll lS12 the epizootv fur
ni>hed the pretezt: and tor the past
Winter we are without all excu>e or an
apology, save that which is furnished
hv the >evere and protractel storms.
The truth is, however. that nOne of the
reasons assigned reflect the real cause
of the dull times which periodically.
and with great regularity, fall upon
Us. II is all due TO the want of
cheap and reliable transportation
the YEAR round. There is no earthly
reason why our furnaces should net
run quite as successfully i'll Winter as
in summer. providedthe necessary fuel
can be had; and this we cannot have
without the railroad. We know there
are some people in this section who are
opposed 10 the railroad. but the num-
Der is limited. All must admit that
the road would be ofincalculable benz
lit 10 our mining interests, and as that
is the basis of all We are or can hope TO
be. whatever tends TO the develop
nent of the mineral of the
district must, in the very nature of
things, contribute TO the Improvement
of every other branch of trade and IN
dustry. II is true that the charcoal
business might he circunl>cribed
somewhat after a time, but not imme-
dit l.; and even though that branch
Of industry should be cut off en-
tircly, il does not follow, hv
any means, that fewer mel would
be employed in the district. Tie
thousand or fifteen hundred me en-
gagged in burning coal would simply
be transferred to the mines. and a
greater degree OF prosperity than has
ever characterized Eureka would, be-
yond question, follow the change.
With the railroad, Eureka would
be a busy, prosperous town at all
Sc SOL Of the year; without it. the
SUSPENSION of our leading industries
for nearly one-half the time can not
he avoided.
