Indians attacked the wagon train of A.
ii. Reel, loaded with Government
stores for that post, and killed and
scalped the wagon-master, Geo. ThrOs-
tie, who vas riding ahead, and wound
ed a teamster. They also killed four
horses, ten cattle, and burned three
wagons with their contents, consisting
of flour and bacon. 1t IS thought the
Indians will be very troublesome on
this road the rest of the season."
Last Friday forty-four head Of horses
were run off by them from Horseshoe
and Cottonwood creeks.
Contemplated Movements Of the
Army.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.
The contemplated movements of the
army upon the border are kept with
great secresy. Gen. Sherman is very
much occupied at present and fully
admits to his intimates that the Indian
problem grows in difficulties daily.
He Is now ordering every available
soldier that can be spared from the
Southwest to the frontiers. The forces
at all the Indian agencies are TO be
doubled for the purpose OF disarming
all the Indians upon the reservations
to prevent them from going on the wal
path.
Washington Items.
New YORK, Aug. 3.
A Tribune Washington special says
the Silver bill has been managed by
Mr.. Bland with conspicuous inability
from the start.
Now that the investigation in regard
to the Black Friday scandal has been
begun, the Democrats will be likely to
go to the bottom of it, and it is whis-
pered about political circles that other
scandals in which the President and
his intimate friends are concered are
likely to be brought to light.
suicide OF nm Artist.
NEW York, Aug. 8.
Mr.. Jewett, formerly an artist on
Hd,per's Weekly, WAS found dead in
his hotel or Washington street, Jersey
City. He had a bullet hole in his head
and by his side lay q revolver with ore
chamber discharged. An investiRa-
ton by Coroner Cannon showed that
Jewett committed suicide. After the
funeral it was learned that Jewett, be-
fore his death, bcqueathed his entire
estate, amounting to nearly $780, DOC, to
Alfred Cox, proprietor of the hotel,
and had cut off his wife without a dol |
lar, and disinherited his three children.
There was then some suspicion at jew
ett's death by foul play, and the Chief
of Police set on foot an investigation.
Last evening Cox heard of the police
inquiries and asked that the matter he
ventilated. He declares
he knows nothing OF the contents
Of the will.

BELKNAP.- When the Senate de.
clared that they had jurisdiction, the
vote bound every member of the body.
Every man who sat in the court took a
solemn oath to try the case on the evil
dence, and every nan who believes
Belknap guilty on the evidence, and
votes not guilty, breaks that oath and
perjures himself. Let the men who
do this be marked by the people. The
NeWs will take good care to keep their
names before the citizens OF Nevada.
The foregoing is from the Gold Hill
Necs. Senator Jones, the nearest
neighbor Of that journal, voted "not
guilty." We shall see to what extent
the Ne,Os keeps his name " before the
citizens of Nevada"

THE GREAT SCANDAL.-The various
committees In the Moulton-B eecher
scandal case held a joint preliminary
meeting in New York on the 23d ult.,
to entertain the various questions con-
nected with the affair. 1t is under
stood that they are to investigate or
not, just as they see fit. The Herald
it is thought no decision will be
arrived at, and that an adjournment
will be agreed upon until such time as
the questions involved between Moul-
ton and Beecher have been decided by
the courts. The reader, we think, will
entirely agree with that paper, which
further says: "While we recognize
the right Of all to seek redress in the
courts for real or even imaginary
grievances we still regret that there is
no secret tribunal where the very dirty
linen of modern society car be washed
out of the sight of all who admire the
good and pure"

A Iffbune'S Washington special,

THE ACT.

The Gold Hill News has q fiimsy re-
ply to our article of last week on the
Resumption act, so called, which the
Cincinnati Convention ingloriously re-
fused to stand by. The News says we
did not quote that part of the section
which provides for the redemption OF
legal tenders on and after January l,
1879. We did what amounted to the
same thing. We asserted, and still as
sert, that the act makes no provis-
ion for placing the country in a condt-
ton to resume at that date or at any
time thereafter. We also showed most
conclusively that under the terms OF
the law initiation was made to precede
contraction, by virtue of the enlarged
powers and privileges conferred upon
those pet institutions of the Repub-
lican party, the National Banks. These
were the points we made, and we dare
the News, or any other Administra-
ton journal, to a full and fair discus
sion of them. Has the NetUs the hon.
esty to meet the issue thus joined
squarely and franklys We shall see.

THE SILVER QUESTION.


We have given iu a previous article, in ar-
swcr to one Of list of intcrrogatorics SUBJ
mitted by tho United States Monetary Com
mission, onr roasons for believing thnt Eorld-
wido disaster would follow tho entire nban-
don1nent Of silver as unlimited lcgal-tender
in all tho countries Of Europe aud America.
Another point 1nootod by tho Monetary Com
mission in Its circular III tho following:
II the United States phould establish the double
standard, 10 you think 1t wuud have tho effect
Of confirming Frauce, ltnly, Belgium and tho
other nations Of tho Latin Union, Austr1a, Rusaa,
Iloland, 1lox[co, Asta, nnl South America, In
their present policy OF employing silver ~ IN un-
limited legal-tcndcr3
BY the establishment Of the double stand
ard s1neant, Of course, the here-establishmento Of
tho Bi1ver dollar in our monetary system
from which it was displaced by tho act Of
Feb. 12, 1879. Our currency, after tho ro-
sumption Of specie-paymonts, would then
resemble tl.at OF Franoo. Gold aud silver
would circulate side by aide, coined at tllcir
relative value Of 16l to l. Either might bo
tho standard. In France, tho silvor d.frano
piece is tho standard, bnt tho two metals
circulate together. In this country tho
silver dollar was tho standard, but gold al-
ways circulated freely. Thoro can DO no
doubt rs to the proper answer to tho quos-
ton quoted above. Tho establishment Of the
double standard by tho United statca would
no doubt permanently confirm tho Latin
Union and tho othor States named In the ,.so
Of silver. 1twould at least offset aud roctify
tho disturbing Influence Of tho establishment
