THE LATE INDIAN uSPLEAsAHT-
NESS.

40 al F-. VI.
The San Francisco Chronicle, abiding
to the hanging Of the Indian who shot
Toland in tho. mountains bordering on
Spring Valley, which gave rise to the
report that the tribes had commenced
war upon the whites, characterizes it rs
n brutal and dnstnrdly act," and de-
nounce the press Of Nevada for it's in
dorsment Of the same. 1t says, "noth-
ing has been asccrtnined which proved
the Indian to be in the wrong, while
there was much to support the theory
That the white man was the Rggressor.
Either the Chronicle has overlooked
the facts made public in relation to this
matter, or is bent Oh ignoring them for
the purpose Of Misrepresentation. The
testimony Of the only living white wit
ness to the killing Of Toland, is to the
effect that tho act was entirely unpro-
voked, which assurance, backed by the
willing admission OIL the part Of IL large
number OF the members of his own
tribe, that tho murderer had been os-
trncised by them on account of his bad
disposition, is, We think, pretty good
evidence that he was ''in the wrong"
When it is further considered that men,
bers of his own tribe assisted cordially
in his capture and voluntarily gave him
up to the whites, with n knowledge Of
inc penalty attached 10 the crime OF
which he wa guilty, the evidence is
still moro conclusive. 1t is well known
in this country that the Indians are
generally well disposed towards the
whites and they are treated accordingly;
but it is no less u fact that, MS nmon
whites, there is Occasionally one that
needs killing in order to preserve the
lives Of those worth saving, md thereis
every reason 10 believe that the death
of the Indian referred to is fully iusti-
fed on these grounds.

THE FINANCIAL PLASISs.

The declarations Of principle By the
two political parties Of the country
upon The financial question, which
seems to be held paramonntto all other
political considerations just now, have
become 80 ~ine1ttienbly mixed in the va
rious States, that upon that issue, the
unassuminS citizen and the professional
politician are alike. ut sea-.
The conflicting action Of the leading
men OF tho same party in different
States, has rendered the selection of any
particular plank upon which to base
a hope Of salvation, extremely difficult.
Tho Ohio democracy, in advocating. in.
tlation, are undoubtedly violating IL fun
dnmental principle of the party, and
owing to, what We conceive to be the
f"llaeions hope Of supplying permanent
relief from present embarrassment, are
about to commit the fatal error Of sac
riticinS principle to n supposed interest.
The republicans in the seyenl States
are as badly demoralized upon the fl
n"nci"l issue, and in consequence poll
ticians aud place-hunters nre torn with
doubt us to which horn Of the dilemma
they had better seize. It is generally
admitted by all parties upon this coast
that coin is tho safest currency, and
having none other to speak OF, ar'e
unanimously opposed to tho increase of
volume Of paper money; but we're it
otherwise; were wo now suffering from
a want of money with which TO conduct
u ordinary business transactions, with
no hope Of m increase except through
M action of the general government,
our views might possibly undergo u,
very radical change. .....r. ..-...

IN n recent decision by the Supreme
Court Of this State, occurs tho follow
ing language: .l... ..ar ...s-.,..l
1.-The statute conteinplates that in all
cases where II person has been arrested
charged with crime, md brought before
n magistrate, TINT nm examination shall
take place. The practice Of allowing
such persons TO waive mn examination
i%sirregulur, and should be discontinued"
The case under consideration by the
Court was that Of n couple of China
men, held upon the charge Of breaking
Jail, who asked their discharge upon the
grounds that they had no examination
upon the charge alleged in the commit
mcnt, md ut tho time Of the alleged Of
fence Of prison-broaking they were not
lawfully confined in tho county jail.
When petitioners were brought be-
fore the Justice OF the Peace, they were
allowed to waive M examination and
the justice issued tho commitment with
out the introduction OF testimony.
The court held that 'this action, nj
though erroneous, does not furnish any
ground for their discharge upon hGJcGs
corpus.

Of this city, have expressed to III II very

This firm has an established character
among business men; their contracts
being always faithfully performed up to
the very spirit and letter OF their engage

sibility Of the parties, accompanied their
