l
Mr.. E. L. Bill, first clerk in the Audi
tors office, has published u card in the
Wheeling Register, in which he denies
that he ever said there ~as no deficit in
the State Treasury in 1868. The people
Of this town know Mr.. Bill to be scru-
pulously honest gentleman, and themost
OF us would believe exactly what he
might certify in regard 10 the alleged de-
licit Of SSS,00O in 1868.
Now, we want to put this direct ques-
ton to Mr.. Bill: Do the Auditors books
show that there was leak Of SIS, goo in
1868 caused by the misconduct Of the
State Treasurer Of that year, or do the
books show that the State Virginia did
not turn over to West Virginia the full
amount that Rhe should have paid into
our Treasury by S3S,0O0? We will be
governed by Mr.. Bills reply because We
don't believe that he would lie even to be
President.

ABOUT JAILS.

The present grand jury of San Fran
cisco appears to be following closely
In the footsteps of the body which did
Eureka such good service last Decem-
Der. They do not appear inclined to
do the work ne2ligently. Their re-
port on prison management in San
Francisco reveals a state OF affairs
which is disgrace to the civilization
OF the age. In a city of $4,000 inhab-
itants, the metropolis of the Golden
State, the purse into which pours an
nually the millions of Nevada, the
mart Of the Pacific, in which property
ever appreciates, and yet it is taxed be-
yond compare, the state of the prisons
is such as would reflect disgrace upon
the foulest dungeons of an Asiatic
despot. The report shows that the
jails are barely able to accommodate
some three hundred prisoners, and
that into them are thrust between six
and seven hundred Of the unfortunate
and criminal classes. In cells six by
eight feet, and foul beyond descrip-
ton, are not unfrequently crowded ten
prisoners. And, shame to say, the
women are nc better cared for than the
men. OF course many of these un-
happy wretches are already diseased,
and when to these infections from
without are superaded the disorders
of necessity generated by the budding
together OF so many human beings in
haling each others fetid odors, the
suffering and disease must be fright
full. No such terrible tale has been
told since the confinement of one hun.
dred and twenty Englishmen in the
Black Hole Of Calcutta. Reform is
loudly called for. This the people OF
the Golden State will surely have; but
II there be guilt there should be not
only reform but retribution swift and
sure.

A IDEA.

1t cannot be that this earth is mans
only abiding place; it cannot be that
our life is a bubble, cast up by the ocean
of eternity to float for a moment on its
waves, then sink intojpothingness. Ell Q
WIN is it that the glorious aspirations
which leap like angels from the temple
of our hearts are forever wandering
about unsatisfied? Why is it hat the
rainbow and the cloud come over rs
with a beauty that is not on earth, and
then pass off and leave ne to muse
upon their faded loneliness? Why is
it that the stars which hold their festi-
walls around the midnight throne are
set so far above the graspo of our limited
faculties, forever hooking MS with their
unapproachable glory? And finally,
why Is it that the bright forms CT hu
man beauty are presented to III view
but for a moment and then taken from
US. leaving the thousand streams ofour
affections to flow back to Alpine tor
re nts upon our hearts? We are born
for a higher destiny than that of death;
there is a realm where the rainbow
never fades-where the stars will be
spread out before us like the islets that
siumber on the ocean, and where the
beautiful beings that here pass before
US like shadows will stay in our pres
ence forever.

CAPTURED.-P. H. Sumner, the dis
tinguished Oakland forger and black
mailer, has been arrested in Brooklyn.
He is the party who some time since
organized and carried out the conspi-
racy against the good name Of the Rev.
Mr.. Parshall of Oakland. Now he is
caught we do hope he will be hanged.
A man who in these Beecherous days
would go out OF his way to impugn
the chastity of a preacher would paint
the lily, would adorn the rose, would
throw a perfume on the violet; and
MI. Sumner ought to be hanged for
prostituting his talents to g work of
superoregation. He was arrested in
Brooklyn and to that extent has met
with a deserved fate. His pious friends
in Eureka claim that he had reformed
and was merely visiting Brooklyn in
the interests of the much traduced
Beecher, intending to turn against
Bowen, and other enemies of true in
wardness, the weapons he had so well
used against poor Parshall.

From the Belmont Courier,

The South Barcelona Mining Com
pany are feeling jubilant over the
strike made a few days since in their
tunnel. Parties who have visited the
mine, since the strike, represent it as
being the best prospect they have
seen in the district. Louis Fidanza,
who was there shortly alter the foot
wall was cut through, explains his
views of the bonanza in this way:
My God! it Is one big thing; 6 feet
hlgh; o feet wide the tunnel; all min
eral in the face; all mineral on one
side from the foot wall; all mineral
on the top and bottom of the tunnel;
plenty OF water when they cut the foot
wall through. Now then. they run
alongside the foot wall, all mineral
| see, and it shine like one looking
glass" In order to satisfy himself of
the intrinsic value of this silver pal
ace. Lowey welded the pick" in
various places, and brought several
pounds OF ore II town, "A portion of
which he turned over to Nicholl, the
assayer, with Instructions 10 see what
was there, for his satisfaction. The

THE MOVEMENT AGAINST THE
MINIS.

The first fruits Of DR.. Linderman's
recent our Of inspection of the Branch
MINIS are t~elegraphed to us this morn
ing. DR.. Linderman was called before
the Appropriation Committee Of the
House, and strongly urged increased
facilities for the parent mint at Phila-
delphia and the branches at San Fran
cisco and Carson. We infer that in
stead of recommending another branch
at Chicago or st. Louis, as was expected
by each Of those struggling villages,
DR.. Linderman recommended the abo-
liti0n of all the other branches. The
pro missed action of the committee, how.
ever, takes us by surprise, and we are
inclined to believe that the Geographic
summarist has erred. The committee,
1t would appear, not only sees DR..
Linderman, but goes him one better,
and proposes to abolish the Carson
mint. This would be a grevious wrong
to Nevada, and we can hardly reconcile
such a proposal with the fact that the
committee is composed of hard-money
men. Increased facility for the coinage
Of silver is q necessary prerequisite OF
specie resumption. Nevsda will, dur
ing the current year, yield two-thirds
OF the bullion produced in the entire
country, and four-fifths of her yield
will be mined and refined within
twelve miles of Carson. The expense
incurred in coinage in Carson is, we be-
lieve, no greater than in Philadelphia.
In establishing a mint the Government
opens a market for gold and silver,
and at first blush it would appear to us
that every consideration. alike of JUS
tice and expediency, requires that the
market should be established within
easy reach of the producer. The
maker of q nations wealth is entitled
to every assistance from the nation in
his efforts to realize the profits of his
ventures and his tolls. Let our law
givers give our miners a chance. Do
not kill the goose that lays the golden
eggs,
