The following paragraph is from

at was reported on the streets this
morning that an arrangement had
been effected between the Govern
ment aud the managers of the Con-
solidated Virginia and California
mines to take the product of these
mines for year and apply it to the
resumption Of specie payments. Mr..
Flood states that the bargain is un-
derstood to have been consummated.
but all the details have not yet been
settled" Whether this is a mere rumor
or rather curbstone rehash of the
Centennial bonanza story, perhaps
remains to be seen; but the presence

ing between the Government and the
Kings of the Comstock. It would be
a glorious thing for Nevada should
the great stream of silver be turned
TO such definite account. instead of
being scattered over the world as a
disturbing rather than a beneicient
element. If Nevada-"the rotten
borough should succeed in settling
the financial problem, the prestige
gained over the politicians assembled
at Washington would be something

They are all the time sending tele-
grams from Arizona, of the tenor of
the following from Prescott; "They
have struck "a body of nearly pure
silver in the bottom of the main
shaft of the Peck mine. The party
who brought this intelligence says
the ore of the new development
showed by fire assay $4,000 per
ton" But somehow they don't APP
pear to get any mine of consequence
into regularly paying shape. There
is not mill fairly at work and ship
ping bullion in the whole Territory
hence, perhaps, the necessity of find
ing pure silver-rendering reduction
works superfuous. Arizona has
dragged along at a singularly slow
degree, and yet it is undoubtedly
very rich in the precious and other
metals, and when the Southern Pa
cific Railroad of California reaches
the Colorado river, the Territory
must take new departure.

Legislative stumbling Blocks.

The telegraph reports an adjourned
meeting of the Democratic caucus at
Washington, after failing to agree
on a programme respecting the
financial question, The report,
however, conveys the impression
that the Democracy is largely in IA
vor of honest money, but that the
rebellious element Of the party is not
easily controlled. In this respect,
the Republicans are in better shape,
the Hayes-Allen campaign in Ohio
having been considered as decisive
on that issue.
But the truly disagreeable thing
about this important business is the
fact that party strife. and regulations
should in any way interfere with the
hard money men in all parties acting
together in favor of sound financial
measures. Here are Republican and
Democratic Senators and Congress
men, in hearty accord on needed
legislation-financial relief for which
the whole country is suffering-kept
asunder as wide as the poles, through
the demands of party alone. 1t is
almost enough to disgust one with
everything pertai lining to party poll
tics, but as the world and affairs are
so constituted, there is no use but to
worry and wait. When the Repub-
licans were in majority in the
House, they driveled along from
year to year, on this all-important
subject, and now that the Democrats
have got the power there, the influ-
ence of party is more than ever felt.
In short, the whole business of the
present session so far has been de-
voted to the manufacture OF politi-
cal capital for the coming campaign,
and the remainder of it is sure to
be; it fact, the situation on that
score will be aggravated to the last
day in the afternoon. Especially is
the disposition of the financial ques-
ton to be made purely party mat
ter. Altogether, it is humiliating
spectacle to all concerned. But
such is party rule. 1t has been so
chiefly in the past, and the future
gives no promise of an improvement
in governmental machinery. Per-
haps after the politicians are quite
tired out with experiment and ban
ter, they will harmonize on a finan-
cial programme Of permanent util-
ity.

One of the most interesting sum-
maries of mining intelligence to be
found in any of the papers is that of
the Sutro Independent. +" Every
paragraph is arranged with such care
that there can be no installing the
exact amount of difficulty experienced
in each mine On the score of water.
This has no relation to the tunn ell in
terest, although it has become some
what of a bore.

"Herald," says: 1.-THE 'Herald's' sus-

we have heretofore advanced, that to
each city of not less than $4,000 pop
ulation, only one daily journal can
have reasonable hope of remunerative
existence. One daily to every 10000
of population is about the newspaper
supporting capacity OF the largest and
most prosperous cities. Its surviving
rival had an older existence and more

The subject of the election of del
egates to the national conventions,
rc~iwes the whole business of pol
itics, and already the various aspi-
rants or would-be ones are feeling
around, and little knots of war
horses are occasionally seen about
Virginia, for instance, as If states
wore already in order. This Ameri-
can country is a great institution
politically speaking, it is one unin-
terrupted scramble for office.

swept through Illinois, Wisconsin

of the wires being down.

LATEST DISPATCHES.
Special to the Daily Lyon County

Suits Against the Pacific Mail
Company.


SAN Francisco, March IA suit
has been commenced against the Pa
citic Mail Steamship Company by
Henry Hart, of Harris & Hart, stock
brokers, London. Attachment would
have been splaced on all the.steam-
ers of the company, but services were
deferred until tomorrow on receipt
of a telegram from Jay Gould asking
DELAY. Hart was special agent OF the
Pacific Mail Company in Japan and
China for about two years, returning
from there in April last. While he
was there, new postal treaty was
made between Japan and the United
States, abandoning all postal agencies
and all postage collections in Japan,
and the carrying of mails in inland
waters to the Japanese Government.
Hart was then authorized by the
company to sell the inland mail line
of steamers, which consisted OF
the Golden Age, Costa RIGA,
Nevada and Oregon-the New York
had already been sold by him for
about one million dollars, for which
he was to receive fitting commits
sion. He effected sale through
other parties for $790,000. On these
claims, he asserts he has never re-
ceived one farthing, and sues the
company for about $125,000 Hart
proposes to libel the China and
Australian steamers which are adver
tised to sail this month, unless the
company is able to obtain bonds to
secure payment of the claims.
Shipwreck and Loss Of Life.
CORVALLIS, Ogn., March 12.-The
mail carrier from Newport reports
the wreck of steamer about four
miles from Cape Fairweather. She
came ashore bottom up, loaded with
cedar lumber. One body washed
ashore, which is all of the crew
heard from. All are supposed to have
persisted. The name of the vessel
was unknown.
Effects or the storm.
CAsTRovILLE, March II. - The
storm of last week was the heaviest
ever experienced in this valley.
The tunnel between jacksonville and
Gilroy caved in on the 10th inst. &,
and cnt off all communication with
San Juan. On the same evening
the water washed away the road be-
tween Salinas and Gonzales, conse-
quently no trains or mails for this
part of the country since the 10th
inst. 1t has not rained any for two
DAYS, but still two-thirds of the
Salinas Valley is under water.
There was heavy fall of snow on
the hills and mountains, the melt
ing of which keeps the slonghs and
rivers full and overlooking. M st
of the roads are impossible; trade
of all kinds almost at a standstlll.
