last week from the Monsauk mine at

per ton proves that he ought to be, and
that he has good mine.

CRAzY.-Last Saturday warrant was
issued upon complaint of Edward Chen
oweth for the arrest of supposed luna
TIC who had visited his ranch on the
Humboldt river early in the morning
OF that day, and frightened his
family by his actions and threats.
Deputy Sheriff Hayes started to Win
nemucca Mountain in pursuit of him,
as when last seen the lunatic was going
at rapid pace in that direction, and
returned late at night, his search hav-
ing proved unsuccessful. Meantime
the mailman arrived at the Winnemucca
Hotel, where he was arrested by Deputy
Sheriff Melarkey and officer Huber,
and his arms securely fastened to pre-
vent him from injuring himself or
others. He was taken to the County
Jail, where he paced his cell during the
entire night, swearing, shouting, and
praying by turns, using at times the
most profane and vulgar language. 1t
has been ascertained that he has
worked in Paradise Valley for different
persons in the capacity of sheepherder,
and that he came to that. place from
Idaho. 1t is believed that he has
walked 300 miles in the last four or FIVE
days, as he has been seen in places a
good many miles apart at different
times in that period. His name is
Zephaniah Stentes, his age about so
years, and he issupposed to be native
of Ohio. He says that he has been in
the Stockton Asylum, and was dis
charged from there two years ago. He
talks incoherently, and abuses the
Sheriff and everybody else who goes
near him in no very choice terms. He
has been pronounced insane by Drs.
Bogman and Hutchins, and of course
will be sent to the Insane Asylum.

The Democratic journals Of the
country with their Independent al
lies, are in a great funk over the Sen
ate finance bill. They see untold
evils in it, and are nearly all denOunc-
ing il most vigorously. The fact of
this united hostility to the bill by
Democrats of all shades Of opinion
on the question Of imitation. contrac-
ton, and return to specie basis, woul
be most remarkable, Il it did not
clearly indicate the fear that possess
es their souls, that the passage oftbis
bill by the House brings, with it re-
stored union and harmony to the Re
publican ranks, and deprives them Of
their hoped for chance Of passing a
measure next winter, on which they
can go to the country in the next
Presidential canvass, and claim the
credit Of restoring its financial pros.
peiity. 1t is not claimed that this is
the best bid that can be devised, but
its passage would do much towards
restoring public confidence and if Re.
publican members cannot be inAu.
enced by any higher motives, the
Tact that its success as a political
measure is feared by the entire Dem
ocracy, should induce them to sup
port it. Like their opponents, let
them look to the coming President al
campaign, and remember that after
the fourth of March their opportunity
is lost.

ALBANY n. Y, January 1.-The
Inauguration of Governor Tilden took
place to-day in the presence Of a large
coGcourse of citizens. The Governor
elect was escorted to the Capitol BY
military, and about noon Governor
Dix entered the Assembly Chamber
escorting Mr.. Tilden, followed BIZ the
l~atter's staff. Governor Dix address
ed a few appropriate remarks to Mr..
Tilden, to which the latter replied in
a feeling manner.
Mr.. Willers. Secretary of State,
thea administered the oath Of Office to
Governor Tilden. The same oath
was also administered to Lieutenant
Governor Dorsbeimer. In admins
tering the oath to the Governor the
Secretary of State asked him which
oath be would take. and he respond
ed: "rhe new" Ex-Governor Dix
then escorted Governor Tilden to the
Executive Chamber, the band play

ence dispersed.
At . O'Clock the Tenth Regiment
escorted General Dix to the Hudson
River Depot, the procession being
lanked IN either side by citizens
who entered the depot and surround
ed the car assigned to the General
Three cheers were given for General
Dix, who appeared on the platform Of

else, that at present is paralyzing ev-
cry active business interest. The
capitalists, the banks, the manur4eto-
ries, all true business men know
precisely on what ground they 10Y
stand, it is the future possibilities
that eli them with anxiety, produces
timidity, and continues the depressed
and d~eplorable condition of the coun-
try. Give US a certain policy so far
as the volume of currency aud the
resumption Of specie payments is
concerned, and we look for restored
confidence, a gradual restoration of
business, and a general Frightening
up Of monetary affairs. The self sat

be knows it all" is always an i'm
mense nuisance, aud is just now a
curse. Stubborn in his own cOnceit,
what matters it to him ifthe country
suffers, so only that his hobby is well
rode, or his theory leads to discussion
and attracts attention. We hope,
but not confidently we confess, that
the House will display the same
amount Of good sense as did the Sen
ate. sink its personal views and lido
syncracies, and give the country a
measure Of finance without further
unnecessary delay.

Who are ,hs cerrup.len....r

One or two differences may be
made from the assumed fact that the
Pacific Mail Company spent s275,00C
in buying Democratic members Of
the Fo%rty-second Congress. and $50,
600 in buying Republican members.
First, it seems to be established that
the average Democratic vote can be
bought cheaper than the average Re-
publican vote; and the proof of this
deduction is that the greater part of
Twins corruption fund went to tee
Democratic side Of the Housc,
through Mr.. j. G. Shoemaker. OF
course, it was Twins policy to buy
up all the cheap members. Most of
these, the recent developments show,
were Democrats. A second infer
ence is that the Forty-fourth Con-
gress, to which q Democratic MAORI
ty has been elected, will be distit-
guished above all its predecessors for
corruption, unless the people aud The
press, by u~neeasjng watchfulness,pr pre-
vent the adoption Of new subsidy
schemes. We have no evidence
whatever that the Democratic mem
bers elect are one whit better, either
as regards intelligence or probity,
than the Democrats Of the Forty-sec-
ond and Forty-third Congresses. 1t
will be the duty of all good citizens
TO watch the course of the new Con-
gress with eternal viligance +; for that
is now the price of pure government.
1t will also be the duty Of the Repub-
lican party to nominate for Office in
1876 men who are not only spotless
in reputation, but who are like Ce-
wife, above suspicion. To be
suspected of dishonor should be here
after o bar to the elevation of any
at the hands of the Republican
party. Only by the rigid pursuance
Of this policy will there be a chance
to redeem the country from the con-
troll of corrupt and ignorant parti-
Although the chance will net
be offered until 1876, the time to be-
gin preparation is now; and there
should be ne relaxation of effort to-
the result until it is declared

The Pittsburgh Commercial very
pertinently says:
The Democratic State officers Of
Virginia ccrnted in a Democratic
candidate ic: Congress by excluding
the vote Ct a Republican county on
account Of informality. The Demo.
cratic STAT officers of Wisconsin did
the same thing by excluding the votes
Of two Republican townships, for in.
Formally. And thus having carried
two Of their men into Congress, the
Democrats now want to go to war
because the Returni Eg Board OF
Louisiana has followed the Demo
cratic example Circumstances alter
cases. 1t was all right, SO long as it
worked in favor of the Democrats
but when it works against them, it is
all wrong.
