SIoUx.-We gather from our WASH
ington kilograms that the formidable
military dispositions against the north
western Sioux have made on a portion
of that nation ali impression, which it
is to be hoped, may be extended to the
whole tribe. We are told that a large
number of the Sioux are willing to
abandon the Black Hills country and
accept q reservation in Indian Terri
tory. A resistance on the part Of the
Indians to the demands of immigra-
ton q but result, after the sacrifice
cf many valuable lives and OF much
property, In the determination of the
Indians. The Black Hills country is
required by the whites, and it ia to be
hoped that the suggestion of the au-
thorities will be accepted by all the re-
calcitrant Sioux, and that the latter
will. consent to accept a reservation
south of the Arkansas; and following
the example OF the Cherokees and 9th
or tribes, devote their lives to some
useful purpose.

Hon. d. e. Mckinney, Judge OF the
District Court of the Fifth Judicial Dis
trict, which includes the counties OF
Lander, Nye and Churchill, says Mon
days ReUeiILe, has returned from Still
water, the county seat of Churchill
county, where he went TO hold u term
of court. He opened court, but there
being no business for his adjudication,
adjourned for the term. He says he
did not see q game of poker during his
stay, except among the Indians, and
that at the time he left the County
Clerk, Assessor. Sheriff, Public Ad-
ministratOr, District Attorney, and the
nan constituting the unofficial popu-
lation OF saltwater were playing Pc
dro to decide who should act as county
cook for the ensuing week.
An attempt was made, says the Pr
oche Journal of the 10Th, by some
scoundrei to fire the barn opposite the
Courthouse. At q late hour las; night
a match was applied to some straw ~.
ing In the back yard, and close to the
barn. A Mexican who happened to
pass by aG the time discovered the fire
before it had communicated with the
building, and with the assistance Of u
gentleman from the Courthouse ex-
tinguished the flames. The stable was
occupied by VIM. Culverwell, who
kept bis stage horses in 1t. This in
cendiary business is OF late getting to
he rather m~onotonous, and il the tiend
il caught woe be unto him.
Mondays Silver State says: ''Gov.
Bradley passed here Saturday on his
| way from Elko to the Capital. Ranch
life agrees with the old gentleman, and
his health is greatly improved. He
intends to remain at the Capital until
the middle of June, when he will leave
for Philadelphia, to attend the one
hundredth celebration of the Declare
ton Of Independence"
The Carson Appeal says Of the 81
ezra Nevada Goal Company: "Thjs
mine is situated near Verdi, in Washoe
county, and promises to. be one of the
richest coal fields on the Pacific coast.
The vein has been traced through the
basin for two miles, and shows y breast
Of seven feet OF brown Ignite as we'll
defined as any coal vein anywhere"

The Democracy of New jersey have
instructed their representatives at st.
Louis to vote for Governor Parker as
the candidate for President. The N. Y.
Herald, some weeks since, i%ntilnated
that Governor Parker might prove the
dark horse Of the Democracy. Joel
Parker is a MAJ Of pronounced charac-
ter and Of great local influence. Fl
nancially he may be classed as a hard
money man; opposed to the National
Banks and in favor Of specie resump.
ton at as early . date as practicable.
We have no data at hand to enable us
to give his full political history. II our
recollection serves us right he was
elected Governor Of New Jersey in the
fall of 1862 on the Democratic ticket by
a majority of some 5000 out of a total
vote Of no. 900. and occupied the xecu-
tive chair of his State until January
1865. During the presidential cam
paign OF 1872 he was nominated tor
Vice President by the Labor Reform
ers, OH the ticket with David Dairs for
President. Judge Dairs declined the
nomination, as did also Governor Par
ker. In consequence of the declina-
lions the Labor Reformers transferred
what little positive strength they had
to Charles O'Conor, the candidate of
Blatant Duncan, OF Kentucky. In his
letter Of declination Governor Parker
said:
at am in favor of all legal and just
measures that tend to improve thecon-
dition of the workingmen. 1 have al
ways been amembar OF the Democratic
PARTY. For nearly thirty five years I
have shared its triumphs and defeats,
adhering 70 its fortunes, because | con.
Sidered its success essential to good
government and to the elevation Of the
laboring classes. Having been placed
in important positions as the nominee
OF that party, I ain bound in honor as
we'll as by inclination to stand by its
organization and abide by the decision
OF its National Convention"
Governor Parker is not of sufficient
national reputation to insure a nomi-
nation for President, but as second to
Thurman he might add strength to the
St. Louis ticket. New Jersey, how
ever. has always had hard luck with
Ats Vice. Presidential aspirants.

NEITHER.-The Carson Tribune in
quires whether we would not prefer a
smart rogue for a State officer to an hon
est jackass. We have never been i'm
pressed with the idea of the absolute
necessity of electing either a scoun-
drel or fool to Office; nor do we
share the belief evidently held by the
Tribune man that a person not an idiot
must necessarily be- a rascal.

THE GENTLEMAN FROM MAINE.-We
are advised by an editorial of the
New York Times, telegraphed to us
to-day, that the Illinois Republican
Convention has sent to Cincinnati a
delegation instructed solid for-Bla.ne.
The Times finds from a comparison OF
the returns that the gentleman from
Maine" has a positive strength of 245
votes, and that the claim OF his friends
that he will start in the contest with
800 votes can not be disregarded.
There will be polled at Cincinnati, $50
votes, and 376 votes will secure the
nomination. The whole tenor of the
advices from late Republican gather
ings in the East is to the effect that the
Kentucky statesman, the man
-"Of austere virtues strong to save,
OF honor-proof to place, as gold.
vi manhood never bought or Sold"
Is to be overslaughed by the partisan
leaders of the Republicans, solely
upon the ground of his Southern birth,
in favor of the parliamentarian who
has won temporary reputation as a
trickster. We regret for the sake OF
the country that such an event is prob
able.

NEVADA AT THE CENTENNIAL.-The
San Francisco Stock Report says: An
interesting feature in the Pacific coast
exhibits at the Centennial will be a
regular quartz mill erected by Nevada.
The mill is expected to be in operation
next week, when 1t will be started up
on some forty-eight tons Of rich ore
mainly from the bonanza mines.
Visitors TO Philadelphia will have an
opportunity, to many the only n in
their lives, to see a regular quartz mill
In active operation, and to watch the
precious metals being separated from
their native rock and poured forth
from this coast to enrich the world.
The idea Of the exhibit is q good one
and. reflects much credit on Nevada,
and will be witnessed with as much
general interest as any marvel Of the
Centennial.

THE New SECRETARY OF wAR.-we

THE New SECRETARY OF WAR.-We
intimated, yesterday, that the family
antecedents Of Mcdonald Cameron,
the newly appointed Secretary OF
War, were not favorable to his honesty.
At the same time We implied that his
inherited shrewdness would secure
hin, against detection. Our dispatches,
to day, give us reason to fear that cur
first idea was correct but that our sec.
ond was ill-founded; and that the Son
of his Father has used money to secure
his appointment, and has used it so
loosely that he has been found out.

COOLIEIsM.

We have not seen the terms Of any
of the bills or resolutions introduced
by either Sargent in the Senate, or by
Piper or Page in the House bearing
upon the coolie question. All we know
thereon we have learned from the
scanty dispatches we have received.
We have no complaint to make of any
OF these measures. All are directed to
the same good end-i. e. the restriction
Of Chinese immigration. To-day we
learn from Washington that Senator
Sargent has developed a violent oppo-
sition to Pages resolution calling for
such a revision of the Burlingame
treaty as will enable the United States
to PRESERVE the right to regulate, res
trict or prevent the immigration of
Chinese subjects into the United States,
except for commercial pursuits" Mr..
Sargent fears that the adoption of this
resolution may interfere with the pas
sage of his bill restricting all Chinese
immigration, and limiting the number
of Chinese passengers on any vessel to
ten. We believe that all the members
from the Pacific Coast are acting in
good faith in this matter, and, rs far as
their abilities go, for the hest interests
of their constituents. WI hope that no
wrangling among themselves will pre-
vent such action on the part OF Con-
gress aud the Executive as will relieve
us before next session Of all danger
from this fruitful source of danger.

The Jury Said Mot GuiltV,"

The case wherein the editor of this
paper was charged with libel against
w. II. Potter, proprietor of the Rust
House, that he kept a disreputa-
bic house, etc., was tried in circuit
court Mt this place, on Thursday last,
and resulted in verdict of "Not
Guilty." which was given by the
jury, without leaving their seats.
We have no comment to make on
the result of this trial, further than
this: We hold no personal cnmity
no petty malice against Mr.. Potter,
nor have We at any time. Our mo-
tives have been higher. In per-
forming what we believed to be our
duty as an editor, towards the NOR
al community, Mr.. Potter claims to
have suffered thereby in character
and reputation. This is certainly
unfortunate; but men come to jjudg-
ment some time, by their own folly.
In this case, VIC leave the moral
community to judge.
The case was conducted on the
part of the defense by Burch & judi
kins, of Hcrscy, assisted by John
Edget, of Saginaw and 4. w. Rider,
of Clare. Mr.. Burch in this case,
proved himself an able lawyer, and
sustained well his high reputation
as an attorney. Not one objection
did he make, not one point of law
did he raise but what was fortified
by authority and sustained by the
Court, and the opposite attorneys
were nonplusscd and beaten at ev-
cry point. His manner was court
eous and gcntlemanly, and won the
admiration of the jury, court and
audicnce.-FarweU Register.
