A MALICIOUS RUNoR.-For the pur-
pose, probably. Of effeeting the stock 4
market uRfavorably. rumors have been /
adrolily put IN circulation ia san Fran /
cisco, TO the effect that W. {. Ralston 4
and the Bank OF California have both I
met with great loses in stock transac- 4
lions during the past thirty DAYS. The /
rumor has not yet reached this city. but /
We are informed that il is somewhat cur 1
rent in San Francisco. We have Dosi- /
tive information by telegraph from the /
Bay last evening that the report Is thor |
oughly malicious and without founda ,
ton. No losses have been sustained /
either by Mr.. Ralston or the Bank of 4
California. Both continue to WELD their |
millions with the freedom Of unlimited /
means and perfect solvency. We refer |
to this rumor, not that it is of especial |
concern either to Mr.. Fals,on or the |
Bank, but because of the effect which, |
uncontradicted. it might possibly have |
on the mining stock market In time |
of general stock depression such as now /
exists, rumors of the character referred |
to can be made to subServe bearing |
purposes. Hence, in justice to all. we
repeat the assurance that there is not a |
shadow of truth in the report Virg.

The GAMBLING LAw.-The matter of
the mandamus case of Wesley George
VS.. Sheriff Swift, of Ormsby county.
came up in the Supreme Court last
Wednesday, This case involves the val
idity of the gambling law of the last SEES
sion. The facts. as set forth in the ar
gument, were that Mr. George refused
to pay the license demanded under the
law of 1875, and claimed his license I'M
der the act of 1873, the which the Sheriff
refused to issue, hence the litigation.
The case was argued by X. NJ. Clarke on
the part of Mr.. George. and William Pat
terson for the county. That the act of
1875 is dead letter is patent to all ac-
quainted with the circumstances of the
case. and no doubt the Court will so rule.
The bill was incorrectly enrolled, and in
that condition was signed by the Gov
ernor. We are confident that the error
is fatal one and that either the old law
is in full force and effect or that there is
no law whatever relating to gambling in
the State Eureka Sentinel, %.
