Infamous Enterprises.

The Phiiadeiphia Times is authority
for the statement that thieves, sharpers
and human yultures Of every kind and
degree are thronging there in advance

the most infamous enterprises brought
to light is mn agency for the purpose Of
enticing respectable young woman from
the country To dens Of iniauity in that
city. Circulars are being scattered
through neighboring towns and cities.
addressed to girls whose names have
been somehow obtained, promising
them pleasant situations about the ex.

vising them TO leave their homes secret.
", least their parents should object.
The originators Of this scheme Sign
themselves Hayes, Arlington & Brother,
and have been using the postoffice in
furtberance Of, their wicked designs.
Another kindred enterprise is the open.
ing OF bogus employment agencies in
certain parts of tho city to entrap
respectable women into the clutches or
harpies. The municipal authorities
should use every exertion to bring the
authors OF these and similar enterprises
to speedy punishment.

The prospectus of Dan De Quille's
new book, "The Big Bonanza" ar.
rived last night, and there is enough
of it to f0reshadow what tho coming
book will be. 1t is a volume of over
600 pages, profuseiy illustrated, and
will be read with interest by all the
residents OF Nevada, and will also fur.
nish many an hour of pleasant reading
to persons not familiar with the Com
stock, by reason OF the piquant anec
dOtes and the fund of reliable iuforma-
ton which it contains in regard To the
mines. Dan is a Comstocker of six
teen years residence, and the develop.
ments and workings OF the mines have
gone on under his eye day by day.
When he writes about the lode he
knows what he Is talking about. Some
excellent portraits are given of promi-
nent men. The work is handsomely
bound.
An order has been issued from the
headquarters of the Department of the
Pacific to the commanders at camps

veterans. How soon these troops will
receive marching orders will, of course,
depend on circumstances. If Crook Is
worsted in his attack on Sitting Bull
and his savages, then it is probable
they will move at once from the posts
in this State.
The bullion product Of the California
mine during the month of July was
$1,000, 400, the largest monthly yield
yet obtained from the mine. The bull
lion yield for August will doubtless
exceed that for July. Since crushing
was fairly started, in the early part OF
last April, the monthly yield has been
AZ follows: May 7th, Sl,609, 500; June
7th, STATS, 600; July 4th, $l,402, 900;
August 9Th, S2.062, 400. Three divi-
bends of 81, 30. 900 have already been

HENDRICKS AND THE RESUMP.
TON BILL.

The New York Times, the most un-
scrnpulous Republican organ in the
United States, prints the following let
ter, %purporting to be from the pen OF
Mr.. Hendricks:
INDIANAPOLIS, July "a, 1876.
MY DEAR SRA repeal of the re-
sumption clause in almost any form
will elect the State ticket and carry the
! indianapolis district. If to obtain a re-
port from the committee it be neces.
sary to give the assurance that it shall
pass without amendment, that assur-
ance should be given, unless the con-
dition or qualification OF. the repeal be
really objectionable. The form of re-.
peal is rot now very important, for the
people understand the difficulty of OBJ
taihing an unconditional surrender. 1t
is not Objectionable to retain a per cent.
o. gold in the Treasury. Cannot you
q I'd others who are in favor Of repeal
uiile in giving the committee the as
s france of passing a bill as reported, if
rat be necessary to carry a report?
The repeal is the important PROPOSE.
ton; the form is not so important.
Truly, T. A. HENDRICKS.
Now, we don't know whether or not
Mr.. Hendricks wrote that letter; If he
did it was an unfortunate step for him
to have taken; not so much for the i'm
portance OF the thing as for the manner
in which it will be viewed by the hard
money States. The Republicans we're
shrewd enough at Cincinnati to dodge
the resumption bill entirely, merely
resolving in favor of "a resumption OF
specie payments at the earliest prac-
ticsble moment" notwithstanding they
were committed by a solemn Congress
sional enactment to resume at a speci-
fled date, to wit: January l, 1879. The
democrats took similar grounds at st.
Lonis, pledging their party to resume
at the earliest period practicable, and
this should have been an end of the
whole matter for the purposes of this
campaign. Both parties occupied pre-
cisely the same position before the
country, and the resumption issue
having thus been excluded from the
campaign should have been allowed to
rest in tranquil repose. Admitting
that the act of the last Congress is a
sham and a dead letter, no practical
good car possibly result from its repeal
at this time. The Republicans having
sho wn themselves ashamed to father
it at Cincinnati, the Democrats ought
to be more discreet than to touch il
now.

THEY CAN'T SEE IT.-Ethan Allen,

Kent, member of the committee for

Aliens course and announced his

Massachusetts,, takes the same course,

THE CHANCES. Discussing the prob
abilities of the campaign, the New
York Herald says: "We think a ma
jority Of the people would like to elect
Mr.. Tilden and try what a change
would do for the country. There is q
longing for change-to be free from
military Presidents, to see all the
rings broken, to have a general clear
ing up of the old mansion. In this
desire many Republicans share. They
would like the Republicans to 60 out
of power now for a time in order that
they might return with renewed
strength four years hence.
