THE IMPROVEMENT IN SILVER.

There was a marked Improvement
in the price Of silver In London yes
terday. The ruling rate was 50H pence
per ounce. This brings it up to ll0H,
according 10 the American standard,
which is about as good as 1t was six
weeks ago. The continued improve
ment in the silver markets of the
world is about as gratifying a piece OF
information as any resident of Ne
vada would desire to hear. Locally,
we are now almost as we'll off IS we
we're any time last year. Our
bullion, taken right through, car
ries oue-third, strong, in gold.
The gold has not, of course, de-
olined, while lead has greatly advanced.
This reduces our loss to the discount
on the silver contained in the bullion,
which il, a. we have stated, less than
two.thirds of the value of the same.
We haven't gone to the pains OF fgur-
ing it all o1t, but at al off.hand esti-
mate We should say that the apprecia.
ton in lead will moro than cover the
loss occasioned by the decline in silver
within the last year. The outlook is
indeed much improved, aud 1t 10 with
no small degree Of satisfaction that we
call attention to our Frightening pros.
poets.

THE FIRE At ST. ,JOHN.

The large fire at st. Johns, Province of Quebec,
Sunday, has been alluded to in columns.
Upon the streets were whole families fleeing for
their lives, while the maddening flames rushed
on. The streets were full of women and children
scantily dressed running like maniacs for places
of safe shelter. The p.tiful cries Of these people
filled the air, and the scene was distressing to be-
hold. In the arms Of strong men We're scanty
bundles of clothing, with which they had been
able to rush forth from their burning homes.
Mothers, daughters and sons were striving to save
their effects as well as the lives Of the children,
which were in great danger. Seven hotels. nine
churches, the Custom House, Post office, United
States Consulate, two banks, docks, vessels in the
river, portion of bridge the Rchelicu
river, the St. Johns wooden mills (emp Dying sixty
hands), stone china wareroom. and 23J stores and
houses, comprising the entire business portion of
the town, was in flames ut one time. Upon tue
vacant fields could be seen groups of heart broken
and homeless people keeping strict watch over
what little they had been able to save The loss
of life was at first supposed large, but it bias been
ascertaned that only three are missing and two
known to be severely burned that they will
probably die. One is a raving maniac. \ French

Gov Hayes acceptance, in brief, Of the nomi-
nation
Sir:-I have only to say in response to your in
formation that | accept the nomination Perhaps
at the present time it would be improper for me
to say more than that, although, even now,
should be glad to give some expression to the pro-
found gratitude feel for the confidence reposed
in Inc by yourselves and those for whom you act.
At future time | shall take occasion to present
my acceptance in writing, with my views upon the
platform.
Sunset Cox says Of Hayes: "IIe is tirs.-rate
fellow. Ben Hill says II dread Hayes nominl-
ton more than that Of anybody else
In his defeat Mr. Blaine has won his greatest
victory yet. While tie party everywhere will ac-
cept the nomination Of Hayes without regret or
reluctance, it will everywhere be conceded that
James G. Blaine never stood before so high in the
estimation of the American people as he stands
this morning. The plucky fight he has made for
six weeks past is unparalleled in our political an
nails. TIE unfatering fidelity Of his friends in the
convention is proof Of the hold be has upon the
hearts CT his countrymcn.-Utjea Herald.
The Richmond State (Dem.) says the two-thirds
rule engages the attention of democrats. Its re-
peal or abrogation is demanded by many, and
among them by some who claim that it would de-
feat the will of the maJority-would defeat Iilden'
say. AS for ourselves we believe the rule is good
as it ever was, and if Tildon, any one else, has
q clear majority to begin with he can get the two
thirds as we'll.
Gen. Sherman is reported as saying: IL know
Gov. Hayes, and there never was purer or better
man in public or private hfe lie is q man who
can be trusted at all times, and know the same
can be said Of Mr.. Wheeler"
The Detroit Free Press (Dem) expresses the
general feeling towards Mr.. Blaine when it says
of him, "He has many admirable qualities, and
belongs to class Of energetic men, whom the
country cannot afford to lose"
Gov. Hayes is likely to prove mud proof can
didate. During the last campaign in Ohio the
State was thoroughly searched by democrats to
find charges against him. After many weeks Of
fruitless effort the task was abandoned, for not
thing could be found which reflected upon his
character in the least.
The chairman of the city committee has tele.
graphed Mr.. Blaine, who is chairman of the State
committee, that the republicans of Portland accept
his telegram to Gov. Hayes the FIRST general
order of the campaign"
The New York Herald says: "There is always
a calm before storm. The republican ticket may
yet excite bonfire enthusiasm"
Henry Ward Beecher, strong Blaine man,
comes out squarely for Hayes and Wheeler.
The Washington Chronicle says: etiquette
would have debarred Mr.. Blaine from speaking for
himself had he received the nomination. Now he
is Free and the republican nominee will have the
benefit of his superb cloquence. If he cannot be
President he can do more than any other man to
elect Hayes

The Presidential Outlook.

Already the newspapers are out with
their predictions concerning the Presiden-
tial outlook. The Tribune is confident
that in the coming Presidential election
the two great parties will be more even
" matched than they have been in any
National contest since the close Of the
war. With the exception of South Car
DINA, the vote of the entire South is con-
fidently counted on by the democratic par
ty for its candidates. This vote with
that of the tolerably sure democratic
States, and of New York. lacks only one
of being enough to elect President.
The contest will be decided by the votes
of the doubtful States. Colorado, Indiana,
New Jersey, and New York. The follow
ing table is based on the votes in each
State at the Fall elections of 1874, cor
rected in some instances by the returns OF
later contests. Illinois in 1874 gave
united Opposition majority of over $4,000,
but this included large German vote.

ing, represents in its fullest extent the IN
telligence, the patriotism, and the con-
science of the country, is indeed an honor.
The so-caled tidal wave OF 1874. which
swept the democratic party into power III
the lower house of Congress, has resulted
in demonstrating to the American people
the utter untitness of that party for every
one of the duties required of it, For the
past seven months the democratic maJori-
iy in the House OF Representatives has
been on trial before the nation, and the
nation is ready to render verdict. Inc
democratic party has been false to Its
promises, false to its duties, and false to
the opportunities for reform which were
presented to it. II is TO the republican
party that we are to-day indebted for the
privilege of celebrating the one-hundredth
anniversary of our independence, and 1t
is to the SEINE noble party that we intend
to consign the government in the future.
Do not doubt, gentlemen, that in the com
ing canvass we shall achieve splendid
triumph. With that honorable soldier and
patriotic citizen Gov. Hayes, at our head,
and the entire republican party OF all
seades and opinions supporting him. we
have but to do our duty AS honest voters
and good clizens and victory is ours.
Again, gentlemen, thank you for this
manifestation of your approval OF the
conventions work.

The Richmond Enquirer asserts tina.
1.-The rage of sectional bitterness in the
North is more intense now than 1t has been
at any time since the war" This is pref
ty rough on the Northern people, who
have been seriously contemplating the ex-
purgation from the dictionary Of such
words as rebel. traitor. ETC., simply to
avoid shocking the sensibilities OF South
erners. This is the thanks sentimental
people this side OF Masons and Dixon s
line get for throwing picture out of the
Centennial Exposition. because it had a
gentle reminder Of battle field where
the Unionists were victorious. Certainly
these are singular instances OF rage OF
sectional bitterness" If there is any
thing calculated to make Northelners feel
bitter IL is the constant whining of the
South, which does not cease no matter
how industriously Unionists stretch their
hands across the bloody chasm.
