PACIFIC COAST DISPATCHES
FROM CALIFORNIA.

The Bank C~aIifornta-A Man Shot
by AN officer.
SAN Francisco, Sept. Is.
There is nothing new in relation to
the affairs of the Bank OF California ex-
cept the statement made by a member
of the syndicate that Michael Reese
has become a subscriber to the Guar
antee Fund, but to what amount is not
stated. As regards the time of reopen.
ing, it is stated by a member OF the
hoard of directors that previous to re-
sumption q meeting of the stockhold-
ers will be called and a statement of
the condition of the bank presented to
them, As ten days notice Is required
for the meeting of the stockholders, 1t
would seem, unless resumption pre-
cedes the report Of the directors, that
the bank could hardly reopen before
the LIST of October. Arrangements are
said to he progressing satisfactorily,
and possibly the bank may begin pay
ing to small depositors before making
any statement.
Some four months ago a warrant was
issue1 for the arrest OF Pat. Coffey,
charged with wholesale carting away
of old iron from the Pacific Foundry,
on First street. This morning, about
IL O'Clock, officers Waite and Ryan ar
rested Cotfey ON Main street, and took
him to III. j. Booths foundry, On First
street, for identification. While Waite
and Coffey were standing on the side
walk waiting for Ryan, who had en-
tered the foundry, Coffey endeavored
to escape by running. Waite, after
calling to him several times to stop,
fired a shot from his revolver, intend
ing, as he says, to frighten Coffey.
The ball struck the fugitive in the
back, penetrating the right lung. Cof-
fey was taken at once in q wagon to
the City Prison Hospital, and died on
reaching there. Coffey was a boiler.
maker by trade, and a man OF family,
aged about 80 years.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. Is.
The special committee Of the big
board OF brokers has issued the follow
ing:

SAN Francisco, Sept. 10, 1875.
SIR: You are hereby directed, by the
special committee OF the board ap-
pointed this day, TO take up all stocks
coming to you before IL O'Clock Mon
day, Sept. 20, 1875. A failure to CON-
ply with the same will necessitate your

quent. A.. III. LIssAK, JR., Chm"
The effect of this action will he to
place brokers in a position for regular
resumption at any moment. Nearly
all the business has been settled up
and outstanding matters are compara-
lively few. Whether this will lead to
a resumption of official sales before
tn Q opening of the banks Is doubtful.

WI have in our possession, says the
Gold Hill NeWs, q counterfeit Ameri-
a trade dollar, dated 1874, the first
we have yet seen or heard of, but this
having been in circulation is pretty
good evidence that others also are in
circulation, therefore it in best for
everybody to be on their guard, and
closely inspect the silver coins they
NAV receive. This counterfeit is very
well executed, but the metal Is darker
and whites easier than silver, evil
IDENTIFY being composed largely of lead.
1t has some little wing to it. but is
easiest detected by its lack of weight,
dark color, and peculiar smoothness
when rubbed between the thumb and
finger. This bogus coin is all the more
dangerous here where nobody is on the
lookout for such things.
WE were shown to-day, says the
Elko Independent of the 18th, some
splendid looking ore from a new dis
covery on Lone Mountain, made by
S~tanhope and White. at a point about
six miles west from Miller's station, on
the Cornucopia road. A series of
claims were located by the parties,
and are named respectively, Lone
Mountain Chief, Constitution, Centen-
NAL and Mammoth. The ore Is of the
smelling kind, and looks remarkably
well. We are informed that assays
from the Mountain Chief ran up To
$500. We have Q e samples of ore
from different localities Of the same
mountain, but none which resen,bled
this. The lodges are reported large
and we'll defined, and the lucky dis
coyerers are satisfied that they have So
cured a very valuable property.
The PIsToL.-A couple of pistol
shots were fired, between 9 and 7
o'clock last evening, saws the Gold Hill
NeWs of the 10th, at the residence OF
VIM. Biefeldt, corner of Il and Wash
ington streets, Virginia. Reports
about the cause of the shooting are
conflicting, one being that he attempt
ed to kill his wife, and another that II
was his own life he sought TO take.
About the only thing certain is that a
couple Of shots were fired in the house
at the time stated.

We give below an extract from the
Grass Valley Onion in relation to the
origin OF the recent Indian excitement
in Eastern Nevada. The Union is one
OF the fairest and most impartial jour-
mails ON the Pacific Coast. Its opinions
are therefore of value. Following is
what it says:
Usually there il . suspicion that
these sudden Indian scares have q
'.job" In them. for the benefit Of con-
tractors, who would supply transpor-
tation, grain and beef tor the troops;
but In this instance there does not
seem to have been any such incentive,
but simply . s'scare," and q very OK.
pensive one 1t will prove to be to the
taxpayers of the State OF Nevada and
to the General Government. 1t will
also prove Q temporary loss to the Lo
family, comprising the ragged bands
OF Goshoots, Shoshones, Tem-Piutes
and Utes, who were busily engaged
when this war didn't break out, in
gathering their annual crop of pine
nuts tor their Winter store.

SUICIDE AT CoRNUCoPIA.-The Elko
Independent of the 10th says: A man
named w. Parish, who has been en-

about the work upon the new mill at
Deep Creek, committed suicide Mon
day by cutting his throat with an old
case knife. When found the head was
nearly severed from the body. The
reason which lead to the commission
Of the horrible act is unknown. All
that we have obtained in relation to

The REDsKINs.-Indian affairs are
far better managed In the Dominion of
Canada than in this country. Accord
ing to the last report Of the Commits
sioners In charge of the matter across
the frontier, the savage tribes have
been converted into thrifty villagers
BY . process which combines common
with . keen knowledge Of human
nature. The most fertile source Of all
our Indian wars Is the cheating and
knavery Of white traders and Govern
ment agents. The Canadian authori-
ties, by dealing honestly with the
aborigines, earn their confidence and
esteem, and achieve the work Of civil
cation without the slightest trouble.

The Austin Statesman remarks upon
the over-work of newspaper writer's,
that "no writer, however able. can
furnish two columns of good original
matter daily and do justice to himself.
The finest talent of the land, support
ed by the best physique. can not long
endure the tasks imposed by many
publishers. 1t is the hardest labor on
earth to think, especially when the
vital forces are depressed. Work OF
the hod -carrier or stevedore is recrea-
ton compared with it," And this is
why we rejoice that our junior has re-
turned from the wars.

Lieutenant Governor Adams, ex-oficio
Adjutant General Of the State, of all

State Militia during the recent Indian
troubles. The idea is to get these
claims into tangible shape SO that
neither the parties who furnished sup
plies VI any kind nor the State will be
wronged in the final settlement Of the
accounts. The Governor, as Com
mander In Chief Of the military, is
anxious that some official recognition
Of these claims be taken while the
whole matter is fresh in the minds Of
all, and thus remove the possibility Of
anything savoring Of fraud being per-
petrated against the State. 1t is there
fore in pursuance of the request of his
Excellency that Adjutant General Ad-
is here to investigate all claims
while evidence Of their validity is
easily obtainable. There Is no money
in the State Treasury now applicable

when they have been audited by Ad-
jutant General Adams, there is no
doubt that the Legislature, at its next
session, will appropriate a sufficient
sum to all Of them. Inasmuch
as about all of the horses pressed
into the service have been returned to

Alabama is framing a new State con-

unanimous vote, adopted the follow
ing:
The people of this State accept as a
final and established fact, that from the
Federal Union there can be no seces-
sion of any Slate.
That is sensible, and directly to the
point. The issue of the val definitely
determined for all time that the para
mount allegiance Of every citizen is

ter had these anti-secession declarations
figured in all the State constitutions
prior to the war; and better still had
the Federal constitution itself con-
tanned a clear and concise provision in
hibiting the right of a State to with
draw from the compact, for it must be
admitted that the doctrine was an open
question until finally and I'M phatically
by the arbitrament of the
