Commenting upon little Slippery
Sam Tilden's letter in which he prom
ises not to help the rebels to plumber
the Treasury thereby making the tacit
admission that that is what the "Solid
South" want to do}, Washington
special to the Chicago Tribune says !:
"Tilden's letter on Southern claims
has excited general and earnest COM
mcnt among Democrats to-day. Sew
eral Southern men say it will not hurt
him; first, because 70 one there VIII
believe it possible for him to live up
to it, even if he were elected and
should attempt. to; and, second, be-
cause all there knew the Republicans
were committed against such pay
mcnts and dare not make them if they
wanted to. The army of claim agents
here simply laugh at the letter as one
which Tilden could not possibly act
up to-"

THE STATE UNIVERSITY.

While We cannot help thinking that
the State University would have been
much more advantageously situated here
than i. is at Elko, we are none the less
in favor of sustaining it and increasing
the scope Of it's reach and work and use
fulpess; and We are glad to see SO good
. report OF it and of its efficient princi-
pal, Mr.. David X, Sessions, as We find
in the Sentinel Of October 25 and which
reads as follows:
While st Elko recently we paid visit
to the State University, which is located
at that place. The University building
is a handsome brick structure. situated
on the outskirts of the town at just q
sufficient distance from its center for
convenience. The grounds are inclosed
but not yet beautified by grass and trees,
but alfalfa clover, trees and shrIbbery
Of various kinds will be planted next
spring. there being ample facilities for
irrigation; and in the course of a few
wears the grounds will form beautiful
park. Attached 70 the University is a
handsome dormitory b1ilding. recently
erected, where pupils are boarded and
lodged at small expense to themselves.
This department Of the institution is
under charge of Mrs. NJ. A. Rood rs
matron. ard who by habit and expert
ence is fully qualified for that position.
The University itself is in charge Of
Professor d. Il. Sessions, than whom
there is not in the State a more compe-
tent instructor nor one more thoroughly
devoted 10 his profession. The branches
laugh. a. present are such as to qualify
pupils for an examination for admission
to the colleges, being a complete and
rigid preparatory course, including the
study OF Latin. the higher mathematics
and chemistry, and French, German and
music, tho three last named being op.
tional. Tuition is free. being at the ex-
pepse of the State. which supports the
institution. This is written for the ben
eft of Eureka boys and girls, with the
hope of inducing parents and guardians
to send their children or wards to an ed
ncational institution located almost at
their own door, where they can receive
the benefits of an education free from
the bad influences of association with
the hoodlum element, which, we regret
to say, is found in all the mountain
towns of Nevada. Prof. Sessions pays
as much attention to the moral as to the
educational training of his pupils, and
the discipline Of the University ls such
that no bad influence can possibly be in
truded on the pupils.

THE BULLION BAR BUSINESS.

In yesterdays dispatches to the En-
terprise We find the following, under date
of San Francisco, October 2G:
This evening f. p. Rains, vel! known
in this city and Nevada, and John F.
Har6ie were locked up on charge of
counterfeiting. Rains and Hardie are
accused Of being concerned with the two
Thompson and Wilson-who were
held 70 answer before the Grand Juis
two or three weeks ago for swindling
broker named G. Bailey out of $4,000
and gold watch. The representations
by Thompson and Wilson at that time
to Mr.. Bailey were that they knew
where q certain lot of bullion--stoien q
long time ago from Wells. Fargo d Go. 8
treasure bux-was buried near Reno,
and to further deceive the gentleman,
Wilson and Thompson exhibited Il bO-
gus bar of bullion. alleged 20 be worth
sc, 800. Captain Lees was satisfied that
there were others implicated in the plot
with Wilson and Thompson, and finally
ascertained that E. z. Rains and John
L. Hardie had something to do with it.
The men were in Nevada at the time and
Captain Lees swore out warrants for
their arrest. and upon these warrants oh
tsined acquisitions from Governor IT.
win upon Governor Bradley of Nevada.
He then sent Detective Robinson 10
Nevada with the reguisi,iol and four
or five days ago the officer returned with
Hardie, and last night the Deputy
Sheriff of Reno, Nevada. brought down
Rains. Captain Lees has found eleven
bogus bullion bars hich those men had
20,
have swindled a number of persons in
Nevada ont Of several thousand dollars.
Each of the prisoners WAS held N the
sum of SIC, 600 bail and the cases set for
Saturday.
II We understand this matter at AL, it
all grows ont Of an alleged or actual
conspiracy whose ramitica,ions are wide
spread and whose participants have sys-
tema.ically robbed the mines and mills
Of this State OF ore and crude amalgam,
and against whose deviltries the mining
and milling companies have been Sc
cretly proceeding for some time past.
From what We hear whispers ed on the
streets as an open secret, We otine that
there will be. before long. some inter
estins developments concerning these
rascally proceedings. The business OF
robbing the mills end swindling the
mining companies has, no doubt, been
reduced to quite systematic procedure
by these rogues; and when their knav-
cries are uncovered the revelations will
make an interesting chapter in the his
tory of crime aud criminals. 1t is not
impossib!e, however. that the popular
street rumors are not justified by the
actual facts.

"Bayonct Rule" is 10 be regarded,
it seems, a. somewhat related TO the
cause which demands its exercise. In
Charleston county, South Carolina,
Judge Magrath and General DE Saus-
sure, two prominent Democrats, called
on Thursday upon Governor Cham
bcrlain and requested the presence Of
United States troops in that county TO
preserve the peace on election day.
Governor Chamberlain and General
Ruger both assured those gentlemen
that the troops should be impartially
detailed and that they are in South
Carolina in the interests of peace and
order and justice, all round. And We:
the legions who bawl Sammy Tilden's
accents of Reform are sorely appre-
hensive lest the votes Of the South
should be doled out to or withheld
from the sovereigns of Dixie at the
point of The bayonet, like cheese upon
a tOasting fork.
