The New MINES. - Captain Bledsoe,
Wells, Fargo Il Co.'S Messenger between
here and Silver City, arrived in town
yesterday. He says the greatest excite
ment prevails in Silver City over the re-
cent mining discoveries near that place.
The new mines are situated near Wagon
town, seven miles from Silver, on the
Winnemucca road. One of the mines is
exceedingly rich, about six inches of the
quartz in the middle of the ledge being
literally streaked with gold. This quartz
will average five dollars to the pound,
and is richer than anything ever before
discovered in Idaho. Several other
lodges have been found in the district,
some of which are twelve feet wide. The
whole neighborhood of these mines is
alive with prospectors. and it is sup
posed that new mining camp will
spring up there this Summer that will
rival Silver City in size and population.

HORRIBLE.

The papers in the western part OF
the State are all at once deeply con-
cerned about the moral training of the
rising generation, and with one ac-
cord they take high grounds against
the frightful example of the prize
ring. The day following the Will
liams- Chatham prize fight, the Enter
prise, Chronicle and Carson Tribune
each came out with long articles ami
madverting severely against the brutali-
ties of the ring. Now, we submit that
this is a more sublime exhibition of
cheek than has been witnessed in any
country for the last decade. For
weeks these same journals had been
telling their readers all about the
coming mill; in what excellent con-
dition both bruisers were, and o make
sure that the public should not fail
of witnessing the barbarous scene, de-
SCI ibed with remarkable particularly
the exact locality selected for the
battle-ground. After advertising the
disgusting spectacle gratis for months,
they suddenly turn round and
put up their hands in holy hor-
ror, that such a d~isgraceful affair
should have TRANSFERRED within the vir-
tuous precincts of Storey county. 1t
is entirely too bad; and we assure these
heightened moral instructors Of our
~livilest sympathy in their dire dis
tress. OF course, they could not help
it, and should be entirely blameless.
They were too much crowded with
details of the great Beecher scandal
to call upon the proper authorities in
advance of the battle to enforce the
law. Certainly, we say, they had
neither the time nor the space to do
this, and hence they are in no sense
responsible for the immortal proceed
ings of last Tuesday. 1t was a horri-
BILE affair, and those western prints
have a perfect right to give vent to
their virtuous indignation. Let us

4 CIVIL RIGHTS TEST CASE.

The constitutionality OF the Civil
Rights act Is likely to be brought I o
the test very shortly, at which all good
citizens, whether they approve of the
measure or not, must rejoice, for so
long a. there is serious doubt as to
whether Congress had authority to
pass any such law, any attempt at its
enforcement will be sure t o he consid-
cred as so many grievances by those
subjected to its penalties, and any ben
Gifts that the law may be capable of
working will be obviated. The treas
urer of Booths Theater a few days ago
refused to sell a ticket to colored man,
and was consequently arrested for viO-
lation of the law. Having been brought
before the United States Commissioner,
he waived an examination and gave
bonds to await the action of the Grand
Jury. 1t is understood that the inten
ton is to make this a test case, and it is
much to be hoped, for many reasons,
that no impeachment will be thrown in
tho way of a speedy trial, and of an
appeal to the Supreme Court. The
constitutionality of the Civil Rights
bill was disputed by some Of the ablest
lawyers in Congress, and as it was no.
toriously pushed through the House
and Senate rather al a political meas
= 49, n ~ oft IF ir,cfioa RI tho oDl-
ored people, it can never command
that respect from all classes Of we'll
meaning citizens that so important a
piece Of legislation should. 1t is diff
cult to understand what right Con-
gress has, under the Constitution, to
undertake the management Of the
hotels and the theaters; and the obvi-
GUS query Is, If Congress has author
ity to enact such a law as this, where
does the power stop?' Railroads and
transportation lines which have char
tered privileges granted them on con-
sideration Of their affording accommo-
dation to the whole public, are on a
vastly different footing from such
purely private enterprises as hotels
and theaters, and there is n certain
FEASIBILITY in the assumption of Con-
gress that it has some authority over
them. But the bill, so far as it affects
other than public corporations, is a
mere piece of meddlesomeness, ha,-
ing for its single object the catching Of
the colored votes, and unless it is based
upon q sure constitutional foundation
It can not be overthrown too soon. We
are gratified, therefore, that a test cas-
Is to be made up, and made up in a
Northern rather than a Southern city,
for 1t Is important that as little chance
as possible should be afforded blather-
skite politicians to make capital out of
it. or course the question of the PR :
priety of excluding colored people
from the hotels and theaters is not in
volyed in this controversy. What all
law-respecting people want to know is
simply whether Congress has not ex-
ceeded its power in the matter; and il
the Supreme Court decides that it has,
the probabilities are that this will he

THE o MARKET.

Comstock shares have been shading
of for some days. In this history re-
peats itself. For years stocks on the
famous lead have declined regularly
during the Summer months. They
will go still lower this season than
present quotations. This is not the
proper time to load up with Western
Nevada stocks; no general rise in that
quarter need be locked tor before Oc-
tober or November; at least it Is not to
be expected, If we accept the history of
the past as q criterion. The California
wheat crop must be cared for before
much can be done in the leading
stocks. 1t takes vast sums of money
to meet the requirements OF the agri-
culturists, and it is now their time to
employ the active capital of the coast.
We haven't money enough west of the
Rocky mountains to speculate in min
ing stocks and devote proper attention
TO the agricultural interests at the same
time. This is a well settled fact, and
the sooner people who are prone to
dabble in stocks realize IL the better it
will be for them. There may he some
favorable opportunities presented to
invest in the comparatively small
stocks of Eastern Nevada and Idaho,
within the next few months, but it is
no safe to NEEDLE with the bonanzas
OF the west. This Is simply u no
ton sbont the matter, founded on close
observation Of the vagaries OF the
stock market during a period Ct sew
eral years.
