The Belmont Courier f.nnounces as
candidate for the Office OF State Super
intendent Of Public Inst ruction, Rev.
j. ID. Hammond. formerly OF Carson,
but now stationed nj A'lstin. 1t fur
thermore states that the present In
cumbent, Rev. Mr.. Fisher, will not be-
a candidate for reelection. The cler..
gy Of Nevada have thus far monoD-
Oiled this Office, which, although es-
sent'ally non.political. Is n very i'm
portant one, and In our judgment de-
serves and demands the entire time
and service OF the person who Enjoys Its
honor and salary. We are Of opinion
that with this exception Mr.. Ham,
mond is amply qualified, and would
administer the duties Of the Office with
credit to himself aud benefit to our ed
ucationsl interests. But we are more
ovor firm la the belief that n clergy
man who accepts IN Office by tho votes
Of the people should during his In
cumbency, devote himself to It's duties
exclusively. There Is moreover dan
GER OF awakening s~ectarian feeling II
clergymen Of any particular denomin-
alton are elected to Office, and while
holding 1t continue In charge Of q pas
torats. Especially Is this the case In
educational matters, where, absve all,
this feeling should not have ground
for existence.

The Neuley Amendment.

The Negley amendment, modified
so Us to Increase the time for taking
out patents on mining claims from six
to twelve months, passed the House
by n vote Of ll5 to %, and this In spite
OF the circumstances OF the entire Pa
citic coast delegation. Il now remains
for the friends OF all mining industries
on the Pacific slope to use every effort
to Kill this bill In tho Senate, where Ii
IL not believed the same Influences can
be brought to bear rs were upon GER
tain members In the House. Kendall,
Luttrell, Houghton and tho whole del
esatlOn spoke against Its passage, and
by their determined efforts Increased
tho vote from 81, which was the count
n few days ago, to %. Too much cred
1t cannot DO given TO the representa-
tives from that coast, who stood up In
defense OF their constituencies In the
teeth Of tho most gigantic aud over
whelming influence over brought to
bear upon the floor Of the House. Su.
tro stock has gone up In Europe, and
| calculate q good deal Of 1t has .'gone
up" In tho House OF Representatives.

Scurrility

II anybody supposes that tho State
of Oregon Is monepollzlng all the
scurrillty hof Journalism anybody 10
greatly mistaken. Nevada State has
the Oregon style to q considerable ex-
tent and so has California. This sort
OF scurrility consists In Que paper call
Ing another a "liar," "scoundrcl,"
fool" or some other and similar pet
name. Over In Reno, for Instance,
one paper calls the other "Caboose"
and the other calls the one Bladder"
The arcasm Of such names Is very
delicate. so delicate that 1t Is difficult
to see exactly what Is meant. In our
ncighborlng county Of Placer there
are two weekly papers which have
been, for n year or two, indulging In
u similar line Of argument aud style
Of sarcasm. We presume that such
writing Is INDUCED In because 1t Ia
so easy to de, and requires no art or
study to put 1t In shape. Eplthets are
plenty In the language aud almost
anybody car call such to mind. IL Is
quite another matter TO fay an OPP
ponent and to put acid on his raw
without the use Of those words which
are innately and grossly vulgar aud
indecent.-Grdss Valley Union.

From the News, April Ill

by a gentleman just In from Schell'
burn, we learn that thlS quiet burg Il
about to take q favorable start TIL,

the Mcmahon mill, aud will soon be
prepared to crush custom ores from
the mine, Of that vicinity. Every one
Il sanguine that Schell will keep nr
Its lick, because IL has the ore, you
know. An Eastern company will soon
com ence operations In this district,
aud It Is to be hoped that old Schcll
will blossom aud bloom. Molinclli
still keep, his elegant hotel open, and
declares that he will stand by the
place. Under the supervision OF Ben
Corey the boys always find fun, and
more particularly II the e%enteel aud
intellectual game Of "sinch' Is In
vogue.
We are more than pleased 10 record
the starting up OF the mill belonging
TO the Eberhardt IL Aurora Company,
at Eberhsrt, during the week. Not.
w"ithstanding the enormous difficulties
under which the Superintendent has
labored during the recent severe
Winter, he has exertsd himself In
every way to forward the work, and
made every effort to obtain sufficient
ore to run his mill. We anticipate n
long aud successful run from this mill,
aud tho consequent scattering of many
dollars among the boys employed.
The mine Is said to have never looked
better than now, and Is constantly pro.
ducins It's regular quota Of ore.

From the Courier, April III

h"N spa
On Wednesday last a surgical opera
ton was performed on n Frenchman,
n county charge, which merits specia
notice. II Gems the man had boon
ailing some time, much cmaciated,
when finally the whole disorganlzatlon
settled In his thigh. swelling to double
the natural size. On Tuesday last the
femoral vein or main artery Of the
thigh burst open, emitting n gallon or
more Of blood. DIR. S. q. Moore was
Instantly called In, aud by his skill the
artery vas securely tied and the mans
lie saved. Those whs were present
and witnessed the operation, speak In
the highest terms Of the superior skill
shown by the Doctor In the short space
OF time allotted for the work. The
case was q remarkably dangerous one,
and so extremely critical that tho sue
cessful operation by DIR. Moore en,i.
ties him to rank rs master OF his pro-
fesslon. AT last accounts from the
mar he was comfortable with favora-
BILE indications for recovery.
In keeping with everything else just
now, we arc unable to ascertain wheth-
or tho prospects In the lower levels Of
our mines are good or bad. The stock
holders must abide the time when the
trap will be sprung; but when that
time will be. deponent sayeth not.

WE are pleased TO note In tele-
graphic dispatches this morning that a
most sensible change has just been
made In the Senate Committee on
Mines aud Mining. Senator Chandler
OF Michigan, has been excused from
farther service thereon, and Senator
Jones Of this State, appointed in his
place. This change will be satisfac-
tory to the people Of Nevada, and Is
emlnently proper, for 1t will not be
denied that upon all questions likely
to come before that committee, our
Senator Is far better posted than the
M retiring. As Senate bill No. lG Ia
now before that committee, II Is likely
that the Satro amendments will re-
ceiye an airing, and the balance Of the
committee informed as to their dan
gerous tendency.

PREsIpESr GRANT has lately made
somc unfortunate appointments. but 1t
is pleasing to know that his last
selection goes far to make amends
for somc OF those previously desig-
mated. We refer TO tho recent
appointment OF Mr.. Avery Of San
Francisco, as United States Minister
TO China. Rarely, II ever, have we
read such unanimity among the lourn.
ais Of this coast regarding an execu.
tive selection. All our exchanges,
Republican, Democratic and Dolly

Of even a journalistic acquaintance
with Mr.. Avery, but cannot avoid be-
Ing impressed with the conviction that
hi, merit Is OF superior order, and the
unanimous testimony to his honesty Of

journalist given by our exchanges,
give the strongest grounds for be-
lleying that the selection i, emlnently
just and proper.

to-day are urging this Government
into the fatal vortex Of regulating

portlonate number Of Democratic ex-
pansionlsts being slightly In excess oil

Mr.. Sargent says, there are men
enough in the East and West to drive

and ruin. With the sentiments utter

THE GREAT NATIONAL ISSUE.

believe there are men enough In

From, Senator Smgent's Speech on the
Finance bW.
These are brave words, strong utter
anccs. and we have no doubt the Scna-
tor felt what he uttered. Neither
doubt we that the effect foreshadowed
will prove true, should Congress and
the President so far forget the pledges
made by the Republican party aud
their duty both to the nation and Its
creditors rs TO pass a law which will
postpone the speedy return TO
specie payments, so sacrediy
promised to the country by the
last Republican National Con-
vsntion. We believe that II a law
providing for the issue Of s~ii,OOO,OOO
or even a less amount Of ~grsenbacSs
DO passed aud sanctionedb by the Presi-
dent, there will arise two parties, one
of which will adhere to the Republi-
can promise OF speedy specie resump'
ton, aud the other represent that ole-
ment which, without regard to na'
tioual honor or the future OF the Re
public, but for present and faneied
sectional advantage will have Tor Us
policy, more money, no matter WHAT
the ultimate result. This issue must
be met, and that too very speedily.
Unless the apparent minority OF both
the Democratic and Republican par
ties who arc In favor Of hard money
bs reinforced before final action Ia
taken, or the President shall veto the
