From the Rsvellle, May iG.l
Billy Tierney's bellows was cut
again last night BY sone low.livsd
miscreant. Il will be rscsllscted that
a pair Of bellows attached TO his black.
smith forge was cut q few days ago.
This vas replaced BY = new pair, aud
Tierney took his blankets to the shop
and stood guard. Last night hearing
q noise Ia the locality Of the bellows,
he ran around to where It 10 situated
and saw \ man making fast time up
the hill. Pulling his revolver he fired
on the %retrsating figure, the shot only
serving 10 accelerate the speed OF the
figure. An examination Of the bell
lows this morning revealed three cuts
In the bellows, evidently made with q
sharp knife. This 10 a NEST mysterl-
Gus affair.
Persons who are unable to dlstln-
guish between toad-stools and mush-
rooms should be cautious about pur-
chasing fungi from squsws. A squaw
offered q lot OF what she called mush-
rooms for sale to q lady this morning,
who, knowing the difference, discov.
cred that a number OF them were
toad.stools, which are poisonous.
Those who do not know the difference
had better esehew mushrooms Alto
gether, than to take chances OF ha wing
their lights put out BY means Of
"plzsn."

For District Judge.

Eureka aud White Pine counties,

cial District. The salary 10 $1,000 per
year, payable In an equal ratio by the
two counties. The salary 10 not too
high for n eempstsnt man. IL Ia un-
derstood that Judge Beatty will not DO
q candidate for reelection to the POSI-
ton which no now holds. His asplra.
lions are higher. He wants to be- Su.
premo Judge and We have no objection
to his candldature. There are several
candidates for the aforementioned POSI-.
ton. They are chiefly residents Of
Eureka. On tho Democratic sldo,
Fred. Cole, Judge Bally and A. NJ.
Hlilhouse. The Republicans will pro.
baby nominate w. ii. Davenport, q
lawyer Of acknowledged ability. As
between the rival asplrants on the
Democratic ticket, 1t Is difficult to de-
termlne which will succeed. All arc
good men and either would give entire
satisfaction. We earnestly hope the
best man may wln.- Eureka Sentinel.

Why Stocks Decline.

The Board Of Brokers In this city
have o their business growing OF
less importance week after week for
nearly four months, and stockholders
In mines OF the Comstock lode have In
the meantime witnessed the gradual
decline In the market value Of their
shares without making any effort as
an interested whole to defeat the
scheme introduced by Sutro before the
lawmakers at Washington. In Viz
ginia and Gold Hill mass meetings
have been held, and petitions have
been signed by the miners and resident
stockholders, expressing their dlssatis.
faction with the Negloy amendment
compelling the miners to take cut
patents and define the boundaries TO
their claims, and had them forwarded
to Washington. Why the stockhold.
srs, who are largely represented In
San Francisco, and the brokers, who
acts as agents In selling and purchas-
Ing for them, and whose business Is
already materially affected through
the fear OF operators to invest should
not, before this, have taken some ac-
tive part In expressing their opinion
upon the subject, bearing, rs Ii does,
the business Of dealing In stocks. Is
certainly surprising and dos,n I seem
to be good policy. Perhaps they may
wake up at the eleventh hour, and
perhaps, too, 1t may DO tso late to save
this well established business from 60
lug to ruln.-S. +. Post, May 10.

SENATOR SUMMERS evil RiGnr-
HILL.

The passage OF tho Civil Rights bill,
according to the views Of q New York
T'ribuae correspondent, IL as yet a
little doubtful, aud no prediction In
regard to lt will DO safe until the Re-
publican Senators finish c%aucuslug
upon lt. Many Of the ADLER h;epus-
lican lawyers OF the Senate, rs 10 well
known from their speeches made when
the bill has bcen previously under dis
cuslon, doub, the csnstitutionality Of
some OF the provisions Of the bill
and others are convlaced that the en-
actmsnt OF some other parts OF Ii
would not b. polite just before the
election OF a new Congress. Compul-
sorry mixed schools are opposed eve
by soins Of the most Intelligent and
influential Southern Republicans a,
calculated to break up thu schools al
ready established, and set back the
cause Of education In that section Of
the country whore IL Is most needed.
Some objections. though not so for
able, come also from the same source,
to the provisions Of the bill requiring
hotels, theaters, public conveyances,
etc, to make no distinction In the
treatment Of their patrons. IL ]. pos
sibls that tho Republican Senatorial
caucus. which appreciates the fact that
the Republican party will have an
unusually heavy load to carry Ia the
eomln: Fall. may couclude that IL will
be better policy to postpone tho qne'.
tiou until tho next session, or rather
to lie. It quietly go over without aetisn.
should tho bill be amended to meet
the views OF a part Of the Republican
senators, ii would not satisfy the col
orsd Republicans Of the South, and
should II pass la its pre'ent shape u
might drive from the support OF the
Administration party some OF another
class.

A GOOD AMENDMENT.

An important amendment was mado
to the Legislative, Executive and JUDI
lclsl Appropriation bill, yesterday, BY
the Senate. IL requires the Secretary
Of the Treasury to cause the unsx-
pended balances OF appropriations,
which have remained upon the book,
for two fiscal years, to be covered into
the Treasury at the flrst Of each July
hereafter. A law with the same In.
tent was passed several years ago lin
1867, we believeh but Its provisions
have, under a distorted construction by
Bureau officers been svadsd. That
law was 50 construed Is to require an
appropriation from which nothing had
been drawn for the space OF tive years,
to Be carried to the General Fund. In
other words, two years mu,t have
elapsed from tho time the last warrant
was drawn upon the special appro-
priation To legallzo its transfer to
the General Fund. Bureau officers
who desired to keep coatrol OF certain
appropriations would therefore at In.
tsrvals Of less than two years trump
up some small charges against these
appropriations, have warrants drawn
aud charged against them, and there
by preclude their transfsr as csntsm-
plated by the law. They could thus
prolong the duration Of such a~ppropri-
alton indefinitely, aud In fact trans
form 1t practically from . limited or
special to q permausnt fund. This
amendment seems to have been passed
to remedy this state Of things, aud to
prevent the perpetuatlsn Of practice
which keeps large sums Of money un-
available for years, for 90 sson a. an
appropriation IL made to take effect,
= warrant 10 drawn and credited to
such appropriation, the sam thus
drawn and credited remaining una
valuable for disbursements saw for the
particular purpose for which the ap-
preparation was made. The aggrs-
gate Of these balances reaches many
millions yearly, and I. Is evident that
their transfer to the available assets Of
the Treasury for payment OF general
liabilities Is a practical benefit and
saving to the Government.
