HUMAN REMAINS FoCxD.-We clip
this from the Shasta Cur..ter Of January
u:
Last Saturday. while 4. Whitehead
was ont on Il prospecting expedition, he
discovered the remains Of man, III the
ditch which was once used to convey
water to the Pender claims at the head
Of "Buiijine GulcL." The discovery
was reported to the Coroner, who next
day proceeded TO the place DESIGNATED.
Unparalleled jury, and held an inquest
over the remains. The flesh of the body
had al been eaten away by hogs except
the feet and ankles, which were encascd
IL heavy boots. A bullet hole IN the
skull, just above the let: temple, and a
revolver found near by with one empty
chamber. indicated suicide. The evil
dence addueed on the inquest showed
that the deceased was named Jesus Lo-
peg, that he was Il native of Chile, ard
had been missing since the 9th OF last
November. 1t was also shown that he
had been sick and discouraged for some
time previous TO his disappearance, and
the jury. from all the circumstances
known, concluded that the man had
committed suicide, and rendered Yer
diet accordingly.

WHAT SENATOR STEWART 1
DOING.

1t has become quite too much the
fashion either to ignore our only sandy
haired Senator or to mention him with
sneers and at the further end of the fin
ger of scorn. 1t is needless to say that
We do not share in this feeling toward
Mr.. Stewart; but it is a pretty poor ID
vestrent to stand as his friend and vim
Dictator As to his being candidate
for reelection, we suppose that that Is
out OF the question. In the first place
he is too well aware of his own unpopu-
larity, (b-orght about, as We believe, by
persistent, not to say malignant, course
of Misrepresentation ard abuse, some
what invited by his prolonged absence
from the State), ansi in the second place,
We guess, he is too poor in purse to feel
like being a candidate. Without know
ing anything about his affairs, AID writ
ing in ignorance Of the result of his con-
nection with mining operations in Utah,
We very much doubt the fippant stories
Of his having amassed any great sum OF
money from the Emma mine. or To have
done anything improper i'll connection
Herewith. In short, We believe Stewart
to have been very earnest, industrious
and efficient representative of Nevada :
interests; and we have the best OF rea-
fnr ct,
most influential, rs he is one of the
abiest members of the Senate. L. is
much easier to join in the general cry of
detraction against Mr.. Stewart than to
say this much in his favor; but fair play
is T. jewel; and fair play ezacts candor
and Just estimates. A dispatch from
Washington dated Jan. % reports the
Senator hard at work for his constitu-
ency, as he is herewith reported. namely: !
A bill was introduced in the Senate !
this afternoon. by Stewart, to provide !
for the incorporation and regulation Of !
railroad companies in the United States |
being the general incorporation bill that /
was reported IN May 1872. from the SEP |

quently amended and reported by the /

THE SILVER BULLION QUESTION.
From the Sacramento Record. !

From the Sacramento Record
Washington, January Is, 1S74.-The
silver bullion question of the Pacific
coast now ag;tates the minds of the Cal
ifornia and Nevada Senators and Req
resentatives in Washington. On the
Pacific side of our country silver coin is
drug in the market, while on this side,
the Mint at Phi /. e. hia cannot supply
| the demand. This month the demand
for subsidiary coins exceed the supply
about $3.50, 900. In San Francisco silver
coins must be shipped mostly East foi Il
market and the holder of bullion is TO
ced to sell at greatly deprecated value.
Your o respondent is Informed by d
Linderman, Director of the Mint. that
the San Francisco and Carson Miuts
might easily have coined
HALF MILLION DOLLARS
OF silver coin more during the last month
than We're coined if there had been a de-
mand for the Increase. Oar Pacific III
tereStS suffer great loss on account of
the depreciation OF silver.
Senators Sargent aud Stewart have
been investigating the matter. aud Will
urge the Secretary Of the Treasury to
take some action TO benefit the interests
of their constituents. How they pro
pose to have It done Is L:is fly stated as
follows:
THE LAW.
The 2Sth section OF the coinage act
provides that for two ye.r, after the pas
sage of the Act tFtlrualy Il. 1873.
'silver coins shall he paid out ut the
Mint in Philadelphia and the Assay Of
fee New York, for silver billion pur-
CHASED for coinage. under such Iegula-
tons as may be prescribed by the Secre-
tarv of In, TrtasGry
Under the above authority silver bal
lion has been purchased and Paid in sub
sidia,y coin Il; the Philadelphia MIN, at
lis cents per standard ounce, payable in
Silver coin. to which price il has been re-
duced from 1921 cents. The rate fixed
by the Department for San Francisco is
ll6 cents.
But it Is believed and is urged upon
the Department that Secretary Richard
son has power under tie above quoted
provision of the law t.
PURCHASE SILVER BULLION
Whenever he pltases. and pay fo- it in
silver coin at the Philadelphia Mint or
New York Assay-oficc. Il is therefore j
suggested that the Director OF the Mint I.
10 order the purchase of sill
vtt ballion for coinage into subsidiary
coins at the SGl2 Francisco and Carson /
MINIS. and to issue certificates therefor I
payable il such coin at PHILADELPHIA o.
New York, as desired Ay the lopositor.
THE PLAN
Would enable the holders Of bullion To-
sell their silver ut ll6 cents. without

Philadelphia, Jan. 26th-A special
Washington dispatch says it is rumored
that arrangements have been made for a
duel between Jefferson Davis and ex-

The duel is probably based on the COZ

SHORT WEIGHTS IN GRAIN SHIPPED EAST.

TO the Editor Of The Chicago 1rioune:
Sir: 4 largo amount OF grain (corn and oats)
is sold to Eastern shippers BY receivers here,
delivered on Michigan Central cars at Joliet,
where the Company have an elevator, track
scales, etc. The advantage the commission
man. or rather his consgnor, derives in having
grain sold there is, that the freight from points
west on the Chicago, Book Island !; Pacific Rail-
road and its connections to Joliet is less than to
Chicago and the same ia the case on the Chi
ca9o Alton Railroad south; while the grain,
as raIe, brings Chicago prices there, and often
tride more. yet costs less FREQ on board cars
than if bought in elevator here, after paying
storage trimming and switching charges.
The grain received at Joliet ls transferred to
Michigan Central cars, either through their
elevator or from car to car, and i supposed to
be weighed by Michigan Central Railroad Com
pany employees, bill OF lading being issued on
their weights. When weighed on track, tho
Agent Inserts the stipulation, '.Track-scale-
weights given for bulk-grain not guaranteed to
tppsts ha psoaer o5 s words messa
arc inserted. On arrival OF shipments at their
de4tination, there il often considerable shortage
from railroad weights, for which the shippers
receive claims from their conEignees; and, no
MISTER how well supported they may be BY
woghezs' certificates or ntddaTits. the General
Freight Agent ignores them entirely, and falls
back on tic stipulation in the bill of lading; and
there the matter usually drops, as tho claimant
has u recourse except d suit at law which, with
a corporation, IL ye;y expensive business.
Tie Company sc3m to believe that "Might
makes right ~: but this way Of doing business
is very unsatisfactory. not only to shippers, who
suffer loss Of business in consequence, but to
their customers East, who teek other markets,
where they can receive fair treatment. It is
well known to all shippers that railroad compn-
MES always pay claims for shortage on package
freight, and there is no reason why they should
make bulk-grain an exception; especially where
weighed into their own cars by their own en-
ployes. It seems that II tho Railroad Commis-
sioners would ascertain what tue few evils are
that shippers suffer unjustly at the hands Of the
railroad companies, and correct them, leaving
competition to regulate rates. Of freight, it would
be better for all interested, and there would be
little lust c.use for complaint. D.

Of Jersoyyille. His mott formidable opponent
will probably be the Hon. William II. Richard

elected to the United States Senate to fill the

served four years. He was man OF ability and
influential IN state politics when the Democracy
Was in clover. At present he is editing the

better known as slim" Robinson. He is nat
ural politician and has been in politics since
he could vote. He has been in Congress several
times, but the sceptre has departed from him.
He took the money, and in that district, as in
