The testimony Of this gentleman be-
fore the House Investigating Commit
tie has created a profound sensation in
all parts Of the country. Wilson is an
ex. Solicitor of the Treasury, and for a
long time had been in position to get
at bottom facts in regard to the nail
agement of affairs at the White House.
His evidence touching the trial of the
Presidents private secretary, Babcock,
for completely in the st. Louis whisky
frauds is particularly damaging. He
makes it appear that the President did
all in his power to save his secretary,
throwing all manne of obstacles in
the way of the prosecution. Hender-
son, of consel for the Government, he
says, was dismissed for the sole pur-
pose of facilitating Babcock's escape,
and Secretary Bristow's plans ere
embarrassed and frustrated at every
step. The President, in fact, accord
ing to this witness, made it so ''hot"
for both Bristow and the Solicitor that
they both determined t 0 'step down
and out" just as soon as they could
consistently do SO. The whole testi-
mony of Wilson, occupying nearly
three columns in the large dailies, is
indeed replete with startling disclos-
ures, showing, If true. a degree of
official perfidy In high places not
hitherto dreamed Of, WI imagine, by
the great mass of the American peo-

The increase in the number of small

assistant to enable him to give the re-

THE GOAT ISLAND GRAR.

A friend in the Western part Of the
STATE calls ourattention to the fact that
William A. Wheeler, the Republican
nominee for the Vice Presidency, was
the author of the "grab" which at
tempted to transfer Goat Island to the
Central Pacific Railroad Company. BY
referring to the Congressional Globe for
the years 1871 and 1872, on pages l,OSs
and LAPS it will be Q that Mr.,
Wheeler moi only introduced, but
championed the measure In season and
out of season. We have before taken
occasion to refer to his record in this
matter, but somehow the San Fran
cisco press, which went almost wild in
denouncing the infamous scheme
when introduced by Mr.. Wheeler, il
now remarkably silent on the subject
The Goat Island business, among othel
things, perhaps explains the jealous
support given the Republican Presi
dental ticket by the Sacramento Rec
ord. Union. What have those boastet

We learn from q western exchange
that an interesting suit Is now pending
in the Eighth District Court Of this
State, in which jeremiah Miller, for
merly Of White Pine, Is plaintiff and
the Northern Belle Mining Company
is defendant. Divested Of Its legal
~phraseology the complaint alleges that
the mine was originally located by one
Alscp j. Holmes, in company with
three others, each holding one-fourth
interest. This occurred in October
1885, and at the time that Holmes ac-
quired this interest he was a married
man. subsequently, the property was
decided by the four partners to Ike
Bateman for $4,000, which was to have
been paid within ten months. The
complaint alleges, however, that the
mine was merely held in trust by
Bateman. for the partners, to facilitate
It's sale. Meanwhile one of the part.
ners, Scrip, sold his interest (Which
was held in trust BY Bateman), to
Holmes, who thereby became owner
Of a, half interest in the mine.
subsequently he and Bateman,
with some others, incorporated the
Northern Bells Mill and Mining Com
pany. Plaintiff claims that as the prop
efty was acquired by Holmes while
married, and did not come to him by
gift, descent OF other ways which the
law excerpts, that one-quarter interest,
or Holmes interest should have gone
20 his wife, Priscilla Holmes, who was
divorced from him in November, 1873,
and that as the Incorporation of the
company did not take place till the fol-
lowing year the conveyance was ille-
gal, and Priscilla Holmes is still enti-
tied to her one quarter interest in the
Northern Belle mine, as we'll as her
share OF the profits of its working,
amounting, as stated in the complaint,
TO 100000. The plaintiffs interest in
the suit arises from the fact that he
purchased Mrs. Holmes presumed
interest in the mine in May, 1876. The
case promises to be a very interesting
as. the details are ,unfolded.

over the points of his letter with any
person whom he supposed would COM
municate them to the public press.
There are prominent men with whom
he did talk freely, and some of the es-
sential points are thus becoming
drawn. A draft of the letter in gener-
al outline has been made subject,
however, TO change and modification
in revision. Gov. Hendricks letter Is
ready but will not bo given TO the pub
lie until Tilden is ready with his. Both
letters will take decided grounds on
the questions Of reform, correction of
abuses, reduction of expenditures, and
rigid economy in all branches of pub
lie service. The financial question
will be squarely met by Tilden ana
will condemn the policy of the Repub-
Leans as acting in bad faith toward the
interests of the coutry in fixing a time
for the resumption of specie payments
without providing any means to carry
the provision into effect; and further,
that the policy as has been carried out
is of that make-shift character which
has resulted in injury to the business
of the country and destruction of con-
fidence without securing the result OF
the resumption which a majority of the
people of the country earnestly desire.
Forced resumption will be held to be
impossible, and its accomplishment
only to he brought about by the re-
vival of the industrial and commercial
interests and reduction OF expendi-
lures in every department of the Gov
eminent. The policy of keeping the
expenses of the Government at the fly.
ures of the past ten years, now when
every business man, farmer and
mechanic is compelled to economize

demned as one that is in every way
detrimental to all classes and all inter-
ests.
The silver Dollar Bill.

last Monday encourages its friends in
the belief that the necessary twO-thirds

COW counties for provisions and agri-
cultural supplies, that silver will be
dirt cheap. Everybody seems to be
~squealing about the " hard times"
This is an annual complaint about this
time of the year; and though they say
silver Is too plentiful, they admit, in
the next breath that it is as scarce as
wisdom teeth in stock spectators. All
the gold in the market is being boarded
up in the public banks and private
striped stocking; and there being none
in sight, everybody wants gold. This
is usually the cas - with man or
woman. The silver scare is mainly
gotten up in the interest of 0 ey
changers, the lineal descendants of that
ancient, hard crowd, who converted
the Lords Temple into a brokers' Of
fees. Small traders are anxious to
take charge of this panic. They in

then add on the difference between sill
yer and gold when they find a victim Ia

The SMALLPOX

Chronicle, the other day, attempted to
poke fun at the Democrats for ratify-
ing the nomination of men who had
not yet signifed their acceptance, and
further asked the conundrum, that in
the event Of their acceptance, II our
electors would cast the vote of the
State for them, If it went Democratic,
as they were in honor pledged; or
would they violate that pledge and cast
the vote for the regular candidates?
The point Is not we'll taken. The elect
ors are pledged to cast the vote of the
State for the candidates for whom the
people Of the State vote. II Tilden
does not accept the nomination, and
the State goes Democratic, the electors
will cast the vote for the Democratic
candidate, no matter who he may be.
The electors are merely the agents OF
the people, and must cast the vote &C.
cording to their expressed wishes.
But there will be no trouble about this
matter; Tilden will accept, and he will
carry California, Nevada, and enough
other States to Dust the Republican
party from power and surrender the
administration OF the Government into
