 SACRAMENTO, January 19.-In the Senate to-day, Martin, Chair man of the Committee on Public Morals, introduced a resolution .characteriZiug the attack made by J. W. Wilcox, assemblymen from Mariposa, on Summers, the reporter of the San Francisco Chronicle, in the Senate Chamber as cowardly act and an invasion of the Senate Chamber, and noti. flying the assembly of the fact that the members of that body may take proper action.
 Edgerton moved the considera- tion of the resolution be laid over until tomorrow, as In view of the gravity of the ofense the wording of the resolution was not strong enough. Many Senators objected to any action on the ground that the Senate was not in session when the attack was made. The resolution was finally laid over till tomorrow.

Robbers ArOuRG.

STANWIx, Jannary 11.-On the 18th, inst, a party of seven mount ed men stole and successfully drove off from the Agua Caliente ranch thirty head of horses and mules. At the time of the theft the herders were absent, hunting stray stock. The robbers came from the west, and on leaving took the trail heading north, which leads to the conjecture that they are Indians, and not Mexi- cans, as was first supposed. King s. Woolsey with a party of we'll armed men are in pursuit and thinks he will overtake them at Eagle Tail Tanks. Everything quiet in this vicinity.

Proposed Army Reform by Allow
 ing Men to Rise from the Ranks
 --A Good Suggestion.
 SAN DIEGO, January 20.-The Washington Capital has long article on Army Reform, in the course of which it says: i've want promotion opened from the ranks. It is the pride and strength of the French Army that the common soldier is said to car- ry the baton of 8 Field Marshal in his knapsack. Let the Ameri- can soldiers feel this, and the knapsacks will become badge of honor, instead of being, as it now is, an evidence of degradation. To insure this elevation of the p1ivates, we want the graduates of West Point to serve from 8 to 5 years in the ranks, before becom- ing eligible to office. Our friends need be troubled with no alarm as to the consequences of such 8 radical reform. We have a mul- titude of poor boys throughout the land, ready and anxious to be educated at the expense of the Government and willing to pay for their tuition through such ser vices as the ranks afford. We need to have the army coming into accord with our Republican form of government, and if 1t is not, the army will disappear. It needs but few years more of such legislation as we have had in the past, to wipe out the entire or ganization."

HOW TO SELL MINES.

AS yet comparatively few sales of mines have been made in this Territory. We mean few sales to outsiders. Much rich ore has been taken to San Francisco and to the East and it has attract ed no little attetion. It is not too much to say that public confiid- ence in the mineral resources of the Territory was never greater than at present. Go where you may, the precious ores of Arizona are highly spoken of and the rare richness of many of the specimens is a source of surprise even to ex- perts and miners of large experi- ence.
 But when the agents of capitalists reach the Territory they too often find that while the quality of the ore is all that they could wish for, the question of quantity cannot be answered because of the limited amount of work done to ascertain wh etherjthere is anything like a ledge or permanent deposit. We have heard of instances in which prospectors have rushed to San Francisco to sell mines before really knowing whether they had more than the surface indications of gold orisilver, and our attention has been called to instances when many thousands of dollars have been asked for min es.upou which the shafts were not yet down to the depth ofthlrty feet. Ofcourse, with the preverbiat uncertainty of what is under the ground, no careful capitalist is willing to ven- ture his money until more work has been done and more ore is in sight.
 We know of the agents of seye- ral San Francisco capitalists, who have returned to that city, report ing that the ore in certain. mines in Arizona was wonderfully rich but that inasmnch as the mines were opened for but a few feet, it was impossible to say how it would hold out, and an invest ment could not be advised.
 Our object at this time is purge our prospectors and mine-owners not to put their mines in the mar ket before they are sufficiently de- veloped to satisfy buyers as to their true character and probable permanence. To do otherwise is not only to endanger their sale, but to bring experts and examin- CTS here for nothing, and through their unfavorable reports to injure the reputation of the Territory abroad. It may be said that often the discoverers and owners are too short Of money for 8 thorough development of the mines and must throw them upon the mar ket at once. We reply that an of the amonnt which it would cost 10 go to San Fran cisco (and be under expense there) to the opening of shafts and tun- neIs will, of itself, in many cases, be sufficient to give a good idea of the character and extent of 6 lode, and make it a reputation which will bring purchasers with out the need of hunting them in San Francisco or elsewhere.
 Let this be done and, if the mines are what we believe them to be, there will be DO difficulty in 1 sales at good figures.

confronted with the simple word "Push.''

lied.

A large depos tol finds nothing there,
All save the assynees find nothing there;
Oh, but its hard on the poor creditare;
Depositors left their money there
On the Express oath that all was fair,
But they've all found out the awful liare
Lied only to deceive the poor creditare.
Now when depositors go by there
They read that "Push," then begin to swear
swear at the Express and Ledysrdare,
And bemoan the fate of the poor creditare.
Push, brothers, push, If you care,
Tho it's hardly worth while to go in there,
For Ledyard and Freeman, thrice happy pair
Have handsomely done the poor credltare.

ing Machine, which may be found in
nearly every well regulated household
in the land. In point Of manufacture
and finish it cannot be excelled, and
all of the latest Improvements and at
tachments are incorporated and adapt
ed to it. The mechanism is the most
simple and durable; the easiest regu-
lated and the least liable to get out of
order. Everybody who has tried the
machine speaks enthusiastically in its
favor, and this fact accounts for its
immense popularity and the many
thousand machines which are annu-
ally turned out from the mandatory.

More Great Developments in the Comstock.

A gentleman recently arrived from
Virginia City informs us that the
Ophir, Mexican and some other mines
have "struck" the main body of the

be surprised if at any time within the
next thirty days tine stocks in the
above mines will be selling "away
up" at hundreds of dollars per share.
The Directors of the mines are COB.
bling up all the stock they can pur-
chase at the present market prices,
and are doing their best to keep the
secret from the public until they get a
"good ready" on and then up goes the
market. The miners in the COmstock
are sharp enough to get what stock
they can while prices are down. If
our readers will take the trouble to
examine a map of the Comstock lode
they will see that the Ophir and Mex.
lean adjoin the great bonanza, and
they can then judge for themselves as
to the lay and location of these mines
ere they purchase any other mining
stocks. They can find map of the
Comstock in the Office of any reputa-
ble stock broker.
