COMMISSIONER DRCMMOND
AGAINST SCTKO,

The Senate Committee on Mines and
Mining referred the Mineral Land
Patent Bill. together with the Sutro
amendments. to the Commissioner OF
the General Land Office; and. accord
ing TO a late dispatch. Commissioner
brummond has prepared a report in
which he says both the amendments
proposed in behalf of Sutro are iniudi-
cious and unwi>e: that the Holman
amendment Is not needed. because the
bin, AS ii passed the Senate, does not
affect Mr.. Sutro'S interests at all: and
the Negley amendment would be un-
just 10 the miners, and would intiict
a total change on the policy of the
laws governing mineral lands. 1t is
the policy of the law that miners
should not be compelled to apply for
patents until they need them TO pro-
tect their rights. As far as Sutro is
concerned, there is no necessity for
this amendment to protect him in his
rights. He is now secure, whether the
miners take out patents or not. being
protected by existing laws. The bill
will not come up for consideration in
committee until the 20th ofthis month.

The Governers' War-More Fighting
LITTLE Rock, May 9-Aboat one
hour after the firing this morning, iu
which one of Brooks colored troops
was killed, at the intersection Of Main
and Workman streets, about twenty
shots were fired in the southern part OF
the city. Three Of Brooks colored
men we're out recruiting when they en-
couutered q party Of Bakeries and
Q fight ensued. About twenty shots
were fred, but no one was hurt.
The Brooksites were captured and
brought to the guard house. Captain
Welch's company, who escaped from
the steamer Hattie yesterday, arrived
safely 10 the Baxter camp to-day, amid
the widest cheering during the day
The Federal troops have not only for
ti6ed Markham street in front OF the
City Hall, but Elm street in the rear,
with dry good boxes and have thrown
up temporary earthVorks still In the
rear of that, on the bank OF the river.
The Bax ser side this evening fixed up
a barricade extending from Elm street
to the river, footing on Main street.
Since 10 o'clock this morning the Bsx-
ter forces have permitted no one to pass
n or out OF their lines without pass.
Guards have been placed on several
squares around the Anthony House
even as far down as Rock street. The

GOLD closed Saturday at ll2s.
From our reports this morning the
probabilities are that the weather to-
day will be fair. with high temperature
and southeas to southwest winds.

TUESDAY,, August 18th, is the day fixed
upon BY the schedule, as reported BY the
Committee, for the popular vote on rat
flying or rejecting the amended Constl-
tuition OF Ohio. II ratified, the next
election in that State, as in Penpsylva-
mia, will be held on Tuesday after the
frs: Monday in November. The CoD-
stitutional Convention in this State
changed the day OF the State election
from the Fourth Thursday in October
10 the Second Tuesday in the same
month, mainly for the purpose of hsv'
ing it correspond with that of our neigh
boring States OF Pennsylvania and
Ohio and thus avoid the danger Of
colonization" from those States.
Since West Virginia's &C
ton in this regard, Pennsyl-
vsuia has already changed and Ohio is
likely to change the day OF election
ss indicated above, TO the day fixed by
law for the Presidential election which
occurs once in four years on the Tues
dsy after the first Monday in Novem-
Der. The reasons for this alteration
are both economic and political. 1t
will save, once IN four years, the ex-
pense OF a general election, and
it will prevent the moral inhu.
ence OF a State election in
Pennsylvania or Ohio, few weeks be-
fore the Presldentisl election, from a.
fecting the result OF the Presidential
vote in other States.
AZ the reasons which formerly ex-
listed for designating the second Tues
day OF October as the day OF the State
election in West Virginia. and by the
recent action OF our neighbors we are
again exposed to the evils we desired to
avoid, it would be well for the next
Legislature 10 take the necessary steps
for amending the Constitution in this
respect and making our election day
again correspond with that OF our
ueigh5ors.

equalizipg the distribution among the
States upon the basis OF the act OF
1865. Under that act the New Eug-
land States were entitled to less than
$40, 100000 but received $llOOoO.OOO,
and tho Eastern States had an excess
of nearly $l2,O00,000. The most OF
the friends of the bill desired free
banking, that is, the restriction taken
off ss to the amount or locality OF the
|circulation OF National banks, so that
the people should be left free In every
part ofthe United States to establish
National banks wherever and when>
ever their local wants aud necessities
demanded them. The purpose OF this
letter is not to enter into any defense oil
the second section OF this bill but to
relieve misspprehensiou that appears
70 prevail 10 regard to the first. Wheth-
er the volume Of the currency is sutfi-
cient for the business OF the country is
question OF TACT about which
men msy honestly differ. Dur
ing the four years preceding
the panic there had been an actual
contraction OF the currency, and
much larger comparative contraction
resulting from the growth OF the popu-
lation and business. A majority OF Con-
gress were OF the opinion that to pro-
duce a restoration OF confidence, a
speedy revival OF business and a return
to the prosperity which was 80 sudden
ly destroyed by the panic, some sddl-
ton ehould be made to the volume OF
currency. That the bill which
has failed to become a law, would
have produced some contraction, is un.
doubtly true, but it would have been
almost entirely in the stock market OF
New York 1t is a well understood
fact that the reserves OF the western
and southern banks kept in New York
hsve been loaned by the New York
banks, almost exclusively upon call, TO
dealers in stocks, and have thus contri-
buted to stimulate unwholesome specu-
latiou, and have been OF very little BEN
eft to the mercantile aud man
utscturing u community. The evil
resulting from this fact was
strikipgIy illustrated during the
panic. There had been an actual con-
traction OF the currency. and much
larger comparative contraction result
ing from the growth OF population and
business. A majority of Congress were
OF the opinion that to produce restor-
alton of confidence, speedy revival Of
business, and a return to the prosperity
which was go suddenly destroyed by
the panic, some addition should be
made TO the volume OF the currency.
That the bill which has failed to be-
come law would have produced some
contraction is undoubtedly true, but it
would have been almost entirely in the
stock market in New YORK. 1t is q
we'll understood fact that the reserves
OF the Western and Southern banks
kept in New York, have been ioancd
bv the New York banks almost exclu =
sively upon call to dealers In stocks,
and have thus contributed to stimulate
10 whoIesome speculation, and have
been of very little benefit to the mer-
camille aud manufacturing community.

ArkAnsas Affairs.

MEMPHIS, May 9.-At 9;05 the Little
Rock wires went down aud it is now
impossible to communicate either direct
or by st. Louis or New Orleans. At
lsst accounts fighting was going on.
The supposition is that the lines have
been cut or the telegraph Office seized.

yesterday above Little Rock, was tor-
merly supervising inspector OF steam
boats at this port.
