BosroN, April 6.-The Springfield
" Republican" says that in settling
the affairs of Patrick Donohue, the
proprietor of the Boston " pilot" Il
Catholic newspaper Of this city, who
recently went into bankruptcy, facts
of most disgraceful character came
to light. 1t seems that for many
wears Donohue has been in the habit
Of receiving funds from persons who
wished to place them in safe hands.
He had the unlimited confidence OF
the public, especially of Irish Catho-
lies, and during the past few years
he has been the recipient of thous-
ands of dollars from this class OF
people. Donohue, as President OF
the Emigrant Savings Bank, sug-
gested to ignorant depositors that he
would invest their money for them,
and pay them seven per cent interest,
and in this way thousands of dollars
were taken. 1t is found that trust
funds confded to his care and money
received on deposit have been put
into his business and lost. The suf-
fering which will follow this breach
of solemn trust cannot fail to be very
great.

THE other day we devoted a para
graph to the possible--even prob
able-chances OF Minister WASH
burne before the Cincinnati Conven-
ton; that stranger things have hap
pened in the history Of American
politics than his nomination for
President on that occasion. Since
then we have come across an inter-
view in an eastern paper with Murat
Halstead, the Independent or Liberal
Republican of the Cincinnati "Com-
mercial.n He said:
met Washburne when in Paris in
1874, and he talked then just as he
did in the letter from him that was
published a few months ago. He
said he had no doubt that in his
twenty years warfare against corrup-
ton in Congress he had made enough
enemies to take care that he should
never be the nominee. He is entirely
sincere in this matter, in regarding
himself as not in the field. AT the
sa me time, l don't suppose he would
refuse very violently if it were offered
him on corn-stalk, or anything Of
the kind. He looks upon his twenty
wears fight against corrupt approprla-
lions as having won him the enmity
of the controlling influence in Presl-
Dental Conventions, and which may
be the controlling influence in the
Convention here. But that very OPP
position may nominate him.
Here follows a sentence or two
that would naturally follow on the
part of such nice critics as Halstead :
The great pity about Washburne
is, as told him at Paris, that after
he had made Grant he didn't stay at
home to take care of him. 1t is just
to add that Washburne didn't seem
to think Grant had lapsed so far as l
thought he had.
With such a wide and useful polit-
zeal experience as Washburne's, the
country could not be intrusted in
safer hands. Neither Grantism or
any other ism would sway him from
what is proper and right.

The Bullion Tax Suit.

District Attorney Lindsay, of
Storey, in the matter of the suit to
compel the bullion producers to
pay their tax, has associated with
himself in the case, as counsel for
the county, Mr.. Dickson. Messrs.
Lewis & Deal and General r. nj.
Clarke, of Carson. The case will
be delayed by the defense as much
as possible, and will, no doubt, ex-
tend through period of two or
three years. The defendants will
carry the matter to the Supreme
Court of the United State, to deter
mine whether or not the statute of
this State, imposing the tax on the
proceeds of the mines is unconstitu-
tional, and void as being in conflict
with the Federal Constitution.
They, the defendants, claim that it
is, and reason in this way: BY a pro-
vision of the Federal Constitution,
all legislation is prohibited which
impairs the obligations Of con
tract. Now, defendants claim that
the Constitution of our State is in
the nature of contract between the
people of the State and each ind
vidual, and that the statute above
referred to is in violation of the
Constitution of our State; therefore
it impairs the obligation of con-
tract, and hence is in violation of
the Federal Constitution and void
for that reason. The Supreme
Court of Nevada has passed upon
the question once. in the case OF
The State vs.. Kruttschnitt, when
the statute imposing the tax was
declared legal and constitutional.

HnntingtOn's Memory.

In the suit of the G. p. II. r. Co.
VS.. A. A. Cohen, to recover for frauds
alleged to have been committed
against Stanford & Co., while de-
PENDANT was acting as their attorney,
plaintiffs made motion for a com
mission to issue to take the testimony
of C. p. Huntington in opposition
thereto. Cohen filed an affidavit
alleging that Huntington is not a
material witness, and that motion
to take his testimony is simply for
the purpose of delay, and that Hunt
ington would be of no account as a
witness anyway, as his memory was
so poor that, Notwithstanding on
September 10, 1875, Huntington
voted 1880 shares Of the stock Of
the Contract and Finance Company,
on proposition to disincorporate
made on the 18th day of January,
1876, when testifying before the
Committee of the House OF Repre-
sentatives at Washington, he could
not even remember the names of the
officers and Directors Of the Contract
and Finance Company, though he
believed he had heard them. The
motion was argued at length and
granted by the Court.

be secured at no distant day.

THE New York "Tribune," in COM
mentiag upon the coming speech of
Senator Jones, makes the following
startling announcement in all serious
ness:
II is his purpose to cover the whole
subject from the earliest history to
the present time, and follow the use
of silver coin through history, and
to show that it should be,a legal ten
der for all amounts. The speech will
require two days to deliver.
This great effort appears to be a
sort Of second sermon ON the Mount
Davidson0, and must 60 into all the
deti ils of Judas Iscariot and the pro-
verbal thirty pieces of silver. There
can be no installing the meaning of
the above statement-to s follow the
use Of silver coin through history"
etc. 1t admits of no other construc
ton than that Jones is going to in
troduce Judas on to the scene. 1t is
hard to say what line of argument
J.P. will use in this business. If he
means hostility to Judas, the latter
will conclude with A. Ward regard
ing jeff Dayis--that it would have
been money in his pocket If he had
never been born. On the other hand,
if the Senator desires to illustrate
how far a little silver coin can be
made to go, and the good 1t can be
made to do But We are becom-
ing bewildered. We never were much
on financial distractions, anyhow.
Let Jones go on with his two days
grist of chin music, and Wen bide
our time somehow.

AT THE. Nashville Convention of
colored people, on Thursday, senti-
ments of hostility to the Republi-
can party were expressed. Nothing,
to our way of thinking, would be
more beneficial to the South than o
breaking up of the Democratic
party of that section of the coun-
try, and nothing would disintregate
it more effectually than for the
blacks to go over to that organiza-
ton en- masse. The whites would
then get to fighting over the spoils
among themselves and the blacks
would stand some show, of justice,
and. Northern and other emigration
would feel free to seek permanent
homes in the more favored cline.
The sooner that dreadful "color
line" is broken, the better for the
country at large, as we'll. But we
do not expect to see any material
change during the pending CAM
paign. There will be no stampedes
to speak of this year nor the next.
The war and its effects involved
problems that will require gene

The Sloan Murder.

The Sloan Murders
CARSON, April About half-past
nine o'clock last night, man named
James H. Sloan was shot and instant
lv killed at "Dutch Nick's" saloon,
Empire City, where he had been en-
ployed. Murphy, formerly guard
at the State Prison, was arrested and
taken to the County Jail. Murphy
and Sloan had quarrel about money
matters, when Murphy struck Sloan,
knocking him over the head. Best
stepped between them. Murphy
struck Sloan again. The blow
stunned him and he staggered, bleed
ing freely. Rallying again he said,
"Johnny, this won't do. If | was
fixed l should meet you any way, but
am not fixed" Murphy replied,
'I1l fix you right away," and made a
motion to draw. Best then stepped
between them and took Murphy
away. Sloan was bleeding profusely,
but seemed to recover IN little
while, and got pistol and stepped
towards the front door. Murphy and
Best were looking in the front win
dow. Sloan stood against the coun-
ter. Just then the door was pushed
open and Best stepped in. Murphy
had his six-shooter. Best was inside,
Murphy outside. From the evidence
it is proved clearly that it was Best
who fired the fatal shot. lie is still
| at large, but closely followed by the
officers. Bad feeling had existed be-
tween Best, Murphy and Sloan for
some time.

San Francisco who refused to accede
to the wishes of the Six Companies.
If they decide that they wish to re-
turn to China, their passage will be
obtained. The Companies now have
the proposition under consideration,
and before many days will report
what they will be willing to do.

SIN speeding to the Pacific, at the
rate Of mile minute, the Jarrett and
Palmer fast train may be expected to
reach San Francisco early this evening.
After leaving Omaha and entering upon
the broad steppes of the plains, the
engine drawing the train has been urged
to its utmost speed. By doing so. q
reserve Of time has been effected, upon
which to fall back when crossing the
Sierras. During that part OF the jour
nsy. the speed must necessarily be great
y reduced and time lost, which that
gained in crossing the plains, will COM
pensate. Unless some unlocked for
untoward accidents occurs, such as
rail breaking, etc., the fast train will
undoubtedly reach il destination this
evening in schedule time. When thus
BY actual practical proof. it has been
thus demonstrated. that the continent
can be crossed from ocean to ocean, in

tunisy to make the trip in much less
than the time which is now usually con.
sumed in making the journey. The
publis will call for increased speed and the
call will have to be needed. Just about
this time the railroad men are com.
mencing to learn that the railroads
were made for the public. not the public
for the railroads. II has taken q long

SUCKER vs.. BLOWER. - Preparations
are being made for setting up at the
mouth Of the Gould & Curry lower tun-
mel large fan which is to suck the foul
air out Of the lower levels instead Of
blowing fresh air into them. The fan is
intended TO vsntilate the lower levels OF
the Best & Belcher and is being put up
by that company. A large pipe will run
from the fan through the tunnel and
down one Of the compartments OF the
Gould & Curry shaft, thence to the 100.
foot level OF the Best & Belcher. When
the apparatus is in full operation and
foul air will be sucked up and vacuum
created that must be filled with pure air
from above. AS the heated air of the
lower levels is naturally inclined to rise,
1t is thought that it will be much easier
to suck 1t up than it would be to force
air into the mines to the depth OF 1,50O
or 5000 feet. The indications are that
our present blowers will be reversed and
that all will be made suckers" At any
rate fair trial will be given this plan OF
ventilation in the new machine about to
be set up.
