vada. You are possibly aware that
the agency of that bank in San Fran
cisco first closed its doors. That caused
a run on the parent bank and its agen-
cies, and they were compelled to close
their doors. The bank has now been
in liquidation since October 9Th, 1869, or
say six years; it has paid so per cent.
of it's indebtedness, and there is more
on hand; as l understand, from 10 to
Is per cent. more. The cost of settle
ment was necessarily great. Taking
into consideration its bad and doubtful
debts, the expense of six years settle.
ment, the dividends already paid and
the prospect of it paying dollar for dol
lar: under all this, it does seem TO me
that that bank was solvent at the time
it was compelled to close its doors.
Should the Bank of California go into
liquidation to-day, could it do as well?
l believe that the Bank of California
closed the doors of the First National
Bank of Nevada. / also believe that
the managers Of the coming Bank
of Nevada had much to do with the
closing of the doors of the Bank of
California. Who will close the door of
the Bank of Nevada? Yours,

THE ..REvEILLE'' ON THE IN.
DIAN SCARE.

While the ReUeille is correct in at
tributing much of the excitement to
the sensational dispatches forwarded
.bv the Commissioners of Lincoln
county, it perhaps goes too far in as.
Stunning that feathers and Toland had
been guilty OF bad faith with the In
dams. No evidence has SO far been
adduced showing any such state o
facts, and as feathers Is the only lily
ing witness of the killing of Toland
his version Of the affair must be &C.
copied as correct. The real motive O
the Indian who fired the fatal shot will!
perhaps be known:
The County Commissioners of Lin
coin county have telegaphed to Gov
ernor Bradley, laying the blame OF or.
iginating the Indian excitement on
Cleavland and Murphy, and comment
ing on those gentlemen and their mo-
t.yes in very severe terms. Now there
are two sides to every question, and
while Messrs. Cleavland and Murphy
were in all probability the o~riginators
Of the scare,Jssa d1hot believe that in
creating it they were a9tuated by any
sinister motives. ut must be taken
into consideration that these gentle
men reside in an isolated locality, and
when feathers sought their protection
and reported the killing of his partner,
they had every reason to expect an at
tack from the Indians, whom they
knew to be warlike and blOodthirsty
when aroused. They asked for assist
ance from Cherry Creek, but we do
not believe they had any idea of rails
ing such a widespread excitement as
followed. For this, the Commissioners
of Lincoln county are really to blame,
for it was their dispatches to the Gov
ernor that set the thing in motion, and
their last dispatch to the Governor
looks as though they were seeking to
get out of q ridiculous dilemma by
thrusting the blame on the shoulders
of others.
Some of the California papers are in
clined to look upon the affair as a job
put up to serve mercenary ends, which
Is very wide OF the mark. Cleavland
is not that kind of a man, and Murphy
is also well known as a wealthy and
respectable citizen, who would scorn
to resort to such a dodge to make a lit
tie money. The fact of the matter is
that there was trouble, and that it was
by a breach of faith with In
dams by Toland and feathers, and
would have been less than
human to have refused such prOtec-
ton as he could afford to feathers,
who came terror-stricken to his house
and reported himself pursued by In
dians. 1t is a pity that feathers did
not share the fate of his companion,
for he deserved it, and to him and To-
land can be traced directly the cause of
the whole trouble.

The following letter from San Fran

recognize the chirography as that OF an

stock Looking up-The Brokers
Defer Their Trip to Virginia
City-Revenue Frauds.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. Is.


SAN Francisco, Sept. Is.
Stocks are stiff on the street this
morning. There were transactions
made in California at 59A; Ophir wenl
to 50; Best and Relcher sold at Az, and
| Mexican, 10. Brokers generally pre-.
dict a good market on the opening OF
the boards and are in the best of spir-
its.
The brokers' excursion to Virginia
City is indefinitely postponed on ac-
count of the favorable showing of the
market and the opportunity afforded
for private operations.
Revenue officials were around yes
terday examining wholesale liquor
dealers books for evidences of frauds
on the Revenue Department. The in
vestigation developed n number OF
cases in which a package of spirits
gagged and reported as containing 10
and 20 gallons each, have been throw n
upon the market containing from 20o
to 300 gallons. Most of these packages
we're from the Pacific DistiIlery, whose
officers, it will be remembered, made
an affidavit that their books up to the
list of July last had been destroyed.
The progress of the Investigation thus
far indicates that these frauds have
been practiced on a very large scale,
duplicating not only dealers and distill-
ers but also a number of revenue off,
GERS in this city and on this coast. A
tremendous fiuitering is now appa-
rent among those concerned in these
irregularities. 1t is probable the eX-
element will be greatly augmented as
further facts are brought to light. The
investigation will be vigorously
pushed; no stone left unturned to I'M
earth the guilty parties and bring them
back as promptly as the difficult work
of getting in their hands clues to the
ramiiication of the frauds will admit.
1t is but Just to state in this connec-
ton that in many cases it will probab-
ably be found that dealers in who's
hands those india rubber packages
have been found are gniltless of inten.
tional fraud, having purchased the
packages in good faith and without

The one thing needful to make Car
son City a thriving business place is a
slice O fquartz ledge som, thing like the
Comstock. High hopes have been
raised at various times by the an.
nouncement of mineral discoveries,
but one after another they have turned
out to be 'dead BEATS" like the North
Carson. The best looking enterprise
that has yet turned up in that quarter,
says the Virginia Chronicle, was
brought to our notice this morning,
when we were shown a sample of
rock from a ledge recently discovered
about three and a half miles west of
Carson. The sample exhibited shows
the presence of a great deal of copper,
and assays prove it to be rich in gold
and silver. Assays by Balch, Vie
gand and other assayers, give an aver
age of $40 per ton in gold and silver.
The ledge is called the Houston, and
has besn worked for three or four
months. The rock from which these
assays were made caIne from the bot
tom OF the shaft, or incline, about
eighty feet from the surface. At this
point the ledge is twelve feet thick.
Last evening, says the Truckee Re
publican of Saturday, a man named
Benjamin Ellison was the victim OF a
terrible accident, which has resulted
in the loss of one foot and perhaps of
the other, if not his life. He was en-
gagged with his partner in hauling logs
to Mr.. Ellen's saw mill. While re-
turning to the mill, about 7 O'Clock, in

"EMoTIoNAL APHAsIA."-Professo

GUESSING ABOUT OHIO.

II anybody nowadays wants to know
how Ohio is going in October he may
literally "pay his money and take his
choice" The Democratic newspapers
have at least once a week letters prom
,sing the triumphant election OF Allen
and Carey. The Republican journals
on the other hand are at similar inter-
walls favored with correspondence pre- :
dieting the election of Hayes. 1t is a
little early yet for sensible and prudent
prophets to come in. The election
takes place on October 18th, more than
q month from now. The ma in work
Of the canvas remains to be done.
There are q great many Ohio voters
who have not yet made up their minds,
and between now and election day sew
eral things may happen to change the
minds of those who are now determ-
ined. One can't ''sometimes most gen.
orally tell" how elections are going,
and It is barely possible that the re-
suit in Ohio will not be known until
after the ballots are canvassed.

EXPLAINING THE DEFEAT.--Itis really
amusing to note the many reasons as
signed by the Dolly Warden organs for
the signal defeat of their party at the
recent election in California. The
Placer Herald lays the whole blame at
the doors Of the Bulletin, Call and
Chronicle. Abiding to the two former
1t says: "In our judgment the INDIE
pendent party would have been strong
er from the start without the aid of
these two papers-papers charged with
themselves committing all the evils of
which the Independents complained.
For the party to carry these two papers
was bad; but when the Chronicle, that
u~nprincipled weathercock, espoused
the cause Of the Independents, we
feared, what we now know, that the
people would lose confidence to such a
degree IS to render success hopeless"
