WORK SUSPENDED AT RUBY HILL.-The
Sentinel snys the Eureka Consolidated
Company has suspended operations IN
the mine, the engineer being the only
person employed about the works. Steam
is kept up for the purpose OF keeping the
mine clear of water. but no one is en-
ployed under ground. The work Of
changing the machinery will commence
in a few days. 1t will require probably
from three to four weeks to put the new
works in running order. during which
time operations must necessarily be sus-
pended below. We are informed that
the Richmond Company has closed down
its mine and discharged all its hands.
The action of this company is doubtless
attributable to the recent action Of the
Miners Union. Seventeen men are en-
ployed at the X X, sinking the shaft.
which is all the mining work being pros
ecuted at Ruby Hill.

parties to the difficulty were Earl Hamil-

the Office of Wells, Fargo q Co., having
occupied a similar position in Virginia
City and also in Hamilton, in the flush
times. The writer has known him favor
ably and intimately for six or seven
years, and can not but hesitate to believe
him the aggressor in this unfortunate
affair.

STIRRING Up A LITTLE DEMoCR .TIC CORRUP-
TToN.-Washington, March 10.-Rumors have
been privately circulated to the effect that evil
dence has been discovered of corruption OH the
part of three Democrats OF national reputa ton
and that proofs will soon be publicly made
known with all their startling particulars. 1t ia
said that the mysterious parties are George H.
Pendleton, Thomas A. Hendricks and Samuel J.
Randall. As to Pendleton, he will appear be-
fore the Committee on Expenditures in the War
Department at his own volition next week to
answer o public statement concerning him in
connection with the payment of money by the
Secretary OF War, claimed to be due to the Bow
Ter estate, of which Pendleton was trustee.
This gentleman has already denied that any i'm
proper influence was used by him to procure a
settlement Of the claims. The witness to be
named by General Boynton will testify on this
subject before the Committee on Expenditures
in the War Department, and Mr.. Pendleton will
be heard in his own behalf. The charge against
Governor Hendricks has also been denied by
himself and his friends, who say he had moth.
ing whatever to do with the Calling gun con-
tracts, as has been charged, while a Senator.
He merely introduced one Of his constituents.
tGen. Love) to Secretary Stanton. aud there
the msttcr ended 80 far as he was concerned.
With regard to Mr.. Raudall. the charge is i'm
proper connection with matters affecting the
Philsdelphia navy yards, but there is nothing
before the Committee on Naval Affairs in the
shape Of a charge or even an intimaticn against
him. He has asked the Committee to thor.
onghly examine the matter. although he and his
friends utterly deny that he has done anything
whatever on which even q suspicion of dishon-
csty can rest.

A RULING TO BE NorED.--Before the
Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia,
a former partner of a dissolved firm was
sued for a debt contracted after the disso.
luton, and the case was given agains,
him. The Court, in charging the jury,
laid it down as a principle of law, that in
cases Of dissolution of c%opartnership there
should be a personal notice Of the fact to
oil parties with whom the firm has had
dealings, and a public notice in the pa
pers. to relieve the partners from mutual
responsibility.

IMPORTANT IF TBUE.-We learn by a
dispatch received from San Francisco
that it was reported on the streets that
arrangements had been made between the
Government and the managers Of the
Con. Virginia and California mines to
lake the product of these mines for o
year aud apply it to the resumption of
specie payment. That there is some
foundation for the report is evident from
the fact Mr.. Flood states that a bargain
Is understood to have been consummated
but that all the details are not yet set
. tied.

We have been permitted to take from
q private letter. received here, some of
the particulars in regard to the sad affair
which occurred at Phoebe on the 9th in
slant, which demonstrates how easily a
small matter may bringabout a great cal
amity, and in this case is doubly sorrow
full, as the party who was fatally stabbed
leaves a family. and was reputed to be
one of Ploche's best citizens.
John n. Rice. who for a number Of
years has held positions of trust with
Wells. Fargo & Co.. and at the time of
the difficulty was acting in the capacity
OF assignee Of Sherwood Bro. & Co., at
Phoebe, had occasion to call at the bust
ness place of Earl Hamilton in regard to
the settlement of a small business matter,
when some obnoxious language was ut
tered by Hamilton to Rice, which called
forth from the latter other unpleasant
expressions. whereupon Hamilton adj
vanced toward Rice with a fireman's
spanner and struck him over the head
with it. Rice then drew a knife and in
aicted a wound near the left nipple, when
the parties were separated. For several
days the wound was not thought to be
dangerous. but on Sunday last resulted
in the death of Mr.. Hamilton.
Rice Immediately surrendered himself
to the officers at Phoebe, but subsequently
came to this place and offered himself as
a prisoner to Sheriff Raum, stating that
he did not wish to evade a trial. but had
reasons for thinking that the excitement
consequent in relation to the sad affair,
that violence might be offered him.
We most sincerely regret the death
of Mr.. Hamilton, who is said to have
been a generous and kind-hearted man,
and also the unfortunate situation in
which this affair has placed John III. Rice,
with whom we have been acquainted a
number of years, and who has always
borne the reputation of being a very
peaceable citizen, and noted for his So
briefly and integrity. Judging from the
different versions of this sad affair, we do
not think it was the intention of Rice to
kill Hamilton.

THE FUNERAL OF EARL HAMILTON
The Phoebe journal of the 18th says the
funeral of Earl Hamilton was the largest
that has taken place in this city for many
years.. 1t WAS probably the largest that
ever took place here. No other circum-
stance could possibly nave shown the es-
TEEN in which the deceased was held by
all classes of citizens. The solemn pro-
cession began to form about three o'clock.
The Phoebe Hose Company took the lead.
with Protection Hose Company No. 2.
and Lightner Hook aud ladder Com
pany following. the Odd Fellows near
the hearse. fnotmen, carriages aud horse
men. The remains were then taken 10
the Episcopal Church. Every seat and
available space in the structure was oc-
cupied before the procession arrived, and
hardly n could gain admission. Dur
ing the impressive services by Rev. Mr..
Kline. many remained on the street in
front of the Church until the services
were concluded. when they again formed
and marched to the cemetery below town.
The procession was the longest and most
impressive ever witnessed in this place.
All the business houses were closed and
many were draped in mourning and it
was twenty minutes in passing u point on
Meadow Valley street on the way to the
cemetery.

CHERRY CREEK Yesterday we had the
pleasure Of meeting Judge Reilly, says
the Phoebe Record of the 18th. who is as
sociated with MIR. John O'Dougherty in
the salt marsh situated in Snake Valley.
The Judge is well informed as to matters
at Cherry Creek and Egan Canyon. At
the latter place the only work in progress
is a tunnel that is being opened by the
Gilligan company. At Cherry Greek the
prospects are quite favorable. One of
the mines, the Star, bids fair to become
bullion producing to no insignificant
amount. We are'glad to hear of these
favorable indications in these and other
outside districts. They tend to prove
what we have all along asserted, that
though Eastern Nevada may now be un-
derrated and neglected, its vast stores of
metallic wealth will ere a great while
command the recognition and working
capital they 81 well deserve.

Anor1T DULL TIMES.

From the Reese River Reveille.l
The Eureka Sentinel Of . recent date draws
. very gloomy picture Of the times in East
ern Nevada, and particularly in Eureka.
in which place it states that it is almost inn
possible to obtain money, and that business Of
every description is prostrated. The mines
have reduced their working forces furnaces are
shut down, and the industries dependent upon
the production Of wood and coal are paralyzed.
If we are not mistaken Eureka has always suf-
fered from a depression of business during GER
tain months in the Winter and Spring but from
the detected mann er in which the Sentinel speaks,
we Judge that the dullness is greater and more
severely felt this year than in previous years.
The Sentinel tributes the trouble in great part
to the suspension of the Bank of California,
which is no doubt the correct surmise but as
the Bank itself and other communities besides
Eureka which were in q measure dependent
upon that institution are recovering from the
suspension, so will Eureka in time recover. 1t
has mines of great extent and value, and the
mining interest is sure to assert itself sooner
or later, and with the opening of Spring-when
the roads shall be in condition for the transpor-
CaClOn VI WOOD anu Tic IOrCte III LIZ ulucs AZ
increased in the ratio usual to that season
Eureka will undoubtedly resume its property.
In the list of towns in Eastern Nevada which
the Sentinel says are grooming under the an
noyances and ~heartburnings which invariably
accompany q long season of depression. not to
say prostration of business" is included Austin.
Now while times in this city are nothing to brag
of, they are no worse than in previous years at
this season. AS in Eureka. the coal and wood
interest Janguish at this season of the year but
the general business of the town is in q healthy
condition and money not unusually tight nor
very hard to obtain. The force Of miners has not
been greatly reduced and the mines are turning
out the usual quantity Of bullion. and the out
look for the future is remarkably encourag-
ing. We have taken the pains to interview sew
eral prominent merchants on this subject, and
they all assert that they experience no difficulty
in collecting their bills, and that they do not
find times in general any duller than is usually
incident to this season of the year.

the rumor that Gen. Schenck was recalled at the
request of the British Government. In the

Glasgow. asked the Government ii it were true
that General Schenck, the American Minister,
has withdrawn at the demand Of Great Britain.
Robert Burke. one of the under secretaries for
Foreign Affairs, replied that there was not the
slightest foundation for the report that the Brit.
ish Government had demanded the recall Of
Schenck. The declaration was greeted with

P~INcHBAcK EXCLUDED FROM THE FLOOR OF THE

account of too many persons being on the floor
the President OF the Senate yesterday morning
gave orders to the door-keeper to strictly enforce
the 47th rule. It SO happened that P~inchback
was one Of the first on whom the new order had
TO be enforced. His case having been disposed
OF the day before. the door-keeper could not
allow him the privilege of the floor, as he was
no longer an applicant for a seat.
