CURED in the Beleher hosting works
that cost the life OF one Of the Oldest
and most reliable engineers on the CON-
stock Lode. and also 30 MANNED and in
jursd another man that his recovery is
extremely doubtful. The nature Of the
accident was such as to cause men con-
neeted with mining interests in this Sec
ton to look aghAst and inquire, what
next?" Never. but once before. in the
history Of the Comstock ledge, has such
an accident, az the one described below,
occurred in this section and that in 1864,
we believe. at the old Comet Mill.
The Accident.
Occurred shortly after half-past three
O'Clock this morning. and was caused by
the bursting OF the fy-wheel OF the south
engine. The wheel is divided into eight
scgments, and was broken so that only
one half remained on the shaft, the bal

feeding the north engine. and n portion
demolishing the roof. landed a distance
OF fifty feet or more in rear Of the build
ing. OF course the accident occurred
instantaneously. without u moments
warning. As oon as the steain-pipe
vas cut, the building rapidly illed
with the escaping steam. but the fireman,
comprehsnding the situation. shut oil
the supply from the boilsr. In the
meantims the engineer Of the north en-
CINE, David Stewart. re~gulatingthe throt-

engine, rushed from his post 10 the as

hasty glance around, and found him
lying ON the floor with his head beneath

II was the work Of an instant to release
him. lie wa, picked up, carried into

found that his skull had been crushed by
one ofths segments Of wheel striking him
on the left side OF the head AMI iniiicting

He never spoke, but gasped n few times
and then breathed his last.

JACKSON, MISS, January 19.-Tht
supreme court has decided as follows Il
the case Of Luke Lea, ETC., and John NJ
Chiffon, relator, against james, vii.
liams. The court is OF the opinion that
the act under which the election for the
fourth OF November last was held, il
constitutional, and consequently that
election was, in itself, valid, and James
Williams, treasurer OF Kinds county,
elected at that election, is constitu-
tiOnally elected, and therefore en-
titled to be seated and to hold
the office, and receive and enjoy the
emoluments thereof, for the usual and
constitutional term. THIS Judgment is
coneurred in by the whole court; and
while the judges have differed some
what In their reasons for arriving at
their determination and result, they are
united in the decision. The opinion of
the court viii be reduced to writing, and
read IN open court next Monday morn
ing.
This settles the question, and puts
General Ames in the gubernatorial
chair.

MAYOR LOAGUE has made nOmins'
tiOns for almost all the offices in Iii:
gift, and only two or three of those
offered 10y him to the general coun-
ell have been rejected-among them
that of Droescher for chief of police.
The mayor, in making this nomination,
took the board, and the city for that
matter, by surprise, for it was expected
that so astute a gentleman would not,
under any pretense, be drawn into
opposition to the will OF the community
generally, and refuse to present Chief
Athy for reelection. Those he has so
far nominated are his partisans. There
is not one Of them all who can, in any
sense, be regarded as a propitiatiOn to
the strong minority that voted for Bus
by, and the three thousand that
did not vote at all. There
is something due to these, and
We hope Mr.. League will remember it,
especially since, by the nomination of
Mr. Athy, he will be en- rapport with q
majority Of the council, and we believe
of those who elected him. This is not a
mere question Of the popularity OF Chief
Athy, but a conviction, a profound con-
viction, on the part of nearly all the
citizens Of Memphis that he is, above
zlI other men, the best man for the
place he has so long filled, and so well.
We hope Mr.. League will yield this
much to general public sentiment.

The Contest Virtually Ended-Ill the
State Officers, but Davis,
Giving Up.

GALVESTON, January 19.-An Austin
special to the Ne,0S says matters there
are very quiet. The offices Of governor
and secretary Of state are virtually
turned over to the new officers.
1t is probable that Governor Cooke
will send to the senate to-day the
name of the new encouragement
for ratification. When this is
done, the proper officers-governor, at
torney-general and secretary of state,
will proceed to count the votes for the
other State officers and the constitution
al amendments, which will be COM
pleted Wednesday. Immediately there
after, the comptroller, treasurer and
superintendent Of the land Office will be
installed. The present incumbents have
signitied their willingness to retire when
their Successors are qualified.

nation. Further contraction is imprae-
ticable. Immediate resumption would
cripple, if not ruin, every industry.
The importation of gold must he greater
and expectation less before We can con-
slider the question of coin resumption.
| An increase of currency would not, as
has been affirmed by other senators,
INJURE WESTERN FARlTERs.
The history of the last decade shows
| that the county has never been in such
condition Of continued prosperity, As
during these years of paper m0ney. II
would be better that the day Of specie
payment should be postponed as long as
! it was in E0gland ut the commence
ment OF the present century, than that
this country should experience the dis
| astrOus results incident to a forced con-
traction ofresuD' "Nion. The confidence of
people in one paper currency has never
wavered in the days of the
panic, when gold fell to one1 hundred
and siX6 The senator from Missouri
showed that the amount Of our currency
per capita was fourteen dollars and nifty
cents, and that it was now nineteen
dollars.
THE LOGICAL RESULT
goes even further. In 1850 the amount
Of property per capita was five dollars
and twenty-six cents, which increased
to seven dollars and ninety-one cents ia
1870. The same ratio of increase of
currency would now require twenty-five
dollars per capita, or a total circulation |
of eight hundred and fifty million dol |
lars. The amount of currency during |
that period has been increased but |
tWenty-eight per cent, while the in
crease of property has been fifty-two
per cent. A proper supply Of currency is
now needed. Taking suitable ratio of
property to currency as the standard, this
amount would be about eight hundred /
and fifty millions of dollars. This
amount is needed for active circulation.
1t would not be in excess of the amount |
per capita in Great Britain and France.
The most reliable recent statistics repre-
sent the circulation in France at fifty
dollars per capita, and in Great Britain
at twenty-five dollars per capita, which |
latter is ten per cent more than is here
demanded.
BoUNTIES TO COLORED SOLDIERS.
The chair laid before the senate
communication from the secretary OF
war in response to o resolution in regard
to the appropriation for the col
IeCJlOH anu payment or DOunueS
to colored soldiers and sailors. The let
ter states that the appropriation of
of $50, 900, but so, 900 remains to conduct
business until June 90th. The estimated
expenses per month are at the lowest
limit $50, 900. Therefore, at the end of
April the entire appropriation will have
been expended, and unless some pro-
vision is made all work will
have to stop and the clerks be
discharged. The secretary recon-
mends that the unexpended balance
of the appropriation for the collection
and payment of bounties for the fiscal
year ending June 80. 1878, be rendered
available to carry on business until June
80, 1874. Referred to the committee on
affairs.
The senate went into executive session
and soon after adjourned.

THE agony is over. The supreme
court of Mississippi has decided the late
election valid, all the judges eoucurring,
and Ames viii probably he inaugursted
by the new Legislature to-day. We are
rejoieed ut this result, not because
we would have Ames governor; /;
far FROM it; but because, since
lac was constitutionally elected, there
should be no barrier to his installation;
and because, too, 1t will save the State
from troubles and trials always TO be
avoided when they can be, as in this
case, honorably. We trust Ames will
now address himself TO the welfare Of
the State.
