Prize Fighting.

One FRED BUssEY was brought be-
fore the court in Virginia City to an
swer for having published challenge
to fight. Judge Cox was moved to
mercy and discharged the prisoner on
account of his having been drunk
when he wrote the challenge but as
sured the prisoner that he would give
him the full benefit of the law, if
hereafter he should commit similar
offence. The brutality of such amuse-
ment ought to disgust any one pos
sessing the least spark of humanity.
The law forbids it and should be en-
forced to the fullest extent. We
heard of something of the kind hav-
ing taken place at one of our places of
amusement in this city recently. The
District Attorney has, or can get the
names of the parties, and will no
doubt deal with them. 1t is bad
enough for men to bruise each other
when they cannot settle their Difficult
ties any other way, but the attempt to
make living by this passtime is
more than civilization can endure.

THE Express feels chagrined at tn,

The Express feels chagrined at the
failure of its pet schemes for creating
$500, 900 bonded Indebtedness. The
gentlemen representing usin the Sem
ate and Assembly became alarmed,
and each and every one of them wrote
asking if We were out of our senses.
The people became alarmed at the
pending BondnSas Of jobs. The cruel
and unnecessary havoc being made
upon our streets. The last expendi-
ture by the Taxpayers for street work
had no sooner been done than it
was ordered done over again. A
Council that sat inditferently by and
saw the funds of the city
to the extent of $4,000, swamped and
debauched in bankruptcy, notwith-
standing our appeals to the Council
for six months anterior to the final
loss, to taking some steps to secure the
funds of the city has outlived its use
fulness. In this year of trials and fl
nhncial distress, the Council have
forced our poor citizens inte fearful
outlays, which added to the State,
County and City taxes amounts in
some instances to confiscation. 1t was
high time that the Legislature stepped
in to give US relief and we are glad
that three responsible citizens will take
charge of our streets and give bonds
of $50, 900 each for the faithful dis
charge oftheir duties.

Dom Pedro,


New YORK, April 6th.-A special
from Para, April 4th, says that the
stea mer Helvetius, with the Imperial
party on board, arrived Tuesday after
noon. The town was brilliantly ilu-
minated at night. Dom Pedro held
levees on board, which were attended
by the principal officials and promi-
nent residents of Para. The Helvetius
was to sail Wednesday for New York,
expecting to arrive there on the 18th
inst. The Emperor, on arriving at
New York, will make arrangements
for the Empress to remain in the East
and the Imperial party will then start
overland for San Francisco. Thence
his Majesty will return to take part
in the opening ceremonies of the Phil
adelphia Exposition. He will then
make trip through the coal
and iron regions of Pennsylvania
to Cincinnati,D Louisville and
the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky;
thence the party will return to New
York. The Emperor will then return
to Philadelphia, spend fifteen days in
inspecting the Centennial Exhibition
and then go to New York and enjoy a
sail up the Hudson, visiting Saratoga
and Niagara Falls; then cross to Can
ada going as far as Montreal. The city
of Boston will next be visited, whence
he will sail for Europe on the Goth of
July.
A special from Para dated April 9Th
says the Emperor and Empress and
suite landed and inspected the city.
The party received an enthusiastic re-
ception; procession of the military
escorted the party to the Cathedral
where religious services were held. A
brilliant reception was also given at
the Palace. The Emperor and EN-
press afterwards embarked on the Hell
vetius and at noon she sailed for New
York.

Silver Coin.

A metallic currency has been the cry
of California for years past Having
tided over the financial crisis which
has wrecked and ruined the CONNER
cial interest of so many communities
in the east, we have boasted to the
world that our wonderful success was
the result of hard money and upon the
faith in hard money which was
strengthened by our success, both the
great political parties in the east have
added hard money plank in their
platform. We really thought they
were in earnest and actually desired
hard money until an effort was made
by Congress to redeem the trashy
fractional paper currency of the United
States with silver. But the very in
stant this was Gone there is great
hue and cry from these same people
against silver. In all our CONNER
cial transactions California has used
silver and gold indiscriminately
and Notwithstanding the circula-
ting medium of the nation was such
that nearly all the gold and silver
in circulation was forced to remain
West of the Rocky mountains;we new
er found ourselves burdened with sill
yer. We have used all that we bro
duced. True it was little unhandy
to transport from one city to another
in consequence of which discount
sufficient to pay the expressage was
allowed. But upon ordinary transac-
tions in the city it was received and
paid out at par with gold. The idea
of discounting it four, six and eight
per cent. never once occurred to us un-
til the news came from the East that
there was a great surplus of silver in
in the country. How dull we are. We
had it all here with us, and counted
it, in buying and selling every day,
and never dreamed that we had too
much until those poor fellows who
have not seen ten round dollars in ten
years discovered that there was
plethora of silver in the country, and
that silver must pay eight per cent.
premium. Or in other words, silver
is worth no more than the shinplas-
ter currency of the East. 1t is true
we are producing large amount of
silver on this coast, but we are also
producing proportionately large
amount of gold, and if one depreciates
from this cause the other must depre-
ciate also. And if they both go down
what is to be the future standard of
value? A close investigation of this
subject will satisfy any one that there
is some other cause for this deprecia-
tion of silver. The great cry for hard
money in the East is nothing but a
political ruse. They are not in earn
est. They do not want it. If they did
they would hail with joy this lnitia-
tory step towards specie currency. If
the proposition had been to redeem
the fractional currency with gold
there would have been an objection
raised. The men who control politi-
cal affairs in the East do not want
| hard money. Wall street has con-
trolled Congress for ten years and
Wall street makes millions by the
fiuctuation Of currency, and it is from
Wall street that the depreciating cry
comes.

cific for the above diseases.
You thai re suffering at once cast aside
your prejudice, derived ana justly, from re-

perience, and we assert most emphatically
the efficacy of the above medicines is irrefu-

truth from our lips robs them of their incre-
dulty sufficiently to place themselves, with
kindling hope, under the treatment of DIR.

Brutal Murder.


The San Diego World has the fol-
lowing We believe Chinaman, All
Quak, who shot All Chung, few days
ago, and for whose appre hension re-
ward of one hundred dollars is offered
by the wounded man, has not been
arrested. 1t is little curious how
he got away, or in what direction he
went. He resides in Los Angeles, we
are told. He probably came here on
the Mohongo, but as she left the next
evening after the shooting, it is not
likely he could have got away on her.
The last seen of him, he was making
off in the direction of the North part
of the town. Some think he may have
had small boat at the bay in wait
ing, and thus made his escape.
Strawberries are quoted in San
Fruncisco from sixty cents to one dol
lar per pound. In Los Angeles our
Chinese gardeners bring them to the
door at twenty cents per pound. Los
Angeles is destined to be the finest Sec
tion of California for small fruits.

Effects of the Explosion.

SALT LAKE, March 6th.-Fragments
of bodies found show the horrible ef-
fects of the explosion of the maga-
zines. A woman was cut in two at
a pump, a child's head blown off a
mile away. Four are supposed to be
lost. Two boots and one shoe were
found with fragments of legs adhere
ing to them. Many women are in a
critical condition from terror. Boul-
ders were thrown two miles through
out the city, penetrating from roof to
basement. The damage to property
is over 100000. The supposed cause
of the exposition was the firing of
bullets through the iron doors by
boys. The number Of packages of all
kinds were 1900 North and five tons
of exclusive giant and Hercules pow
der. The distance of the magazines
from the heart of the city was one
mile.

pose of forming another grand rail-
road combination, which was to en-
brace all of the roads North of the
Ohio and East of the Mississippi riv-
ers not now part of the Eastern rail-
road pool. The session was secret and
through some means the proceedings
were kept out of the newspapers. At
the meeting a protocol was drawn up,
containing about the same provisions
as that employed by the Eastern COM
bination. But little other business
was transacted, owing to the light at
tendance, and the meeting was ad-
journed to meet in Cincinnati at an
early day, when it is expected that
nearly, if not all, the Western
lines will have representatives
present. The project is sup
posed to be in the interest
of the Pennsylvania Central. The
pool, consisting of the Burlington,
Quincy, Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific and Chicago and Northwestern
railroads have been fighting the Chi
cago and Alton road on the California
business ever since this line has estab-
lished route to Omaha. In the COM
petition with the above roads the re-
suit of the fight was that through rates
from New York to California have
been unusually low during the last six
months and the pro rata of the COM
bined roads have amounted to little
more than nothing. The agreement
has been received and the Chicago and
Alton is admitted to the pools.
