CANAL STEAMING.-rhe use OF steam on the
Chesapeake and OniJ Canal is destined to in-
crease the transportation facilities of that en-
terprise, and eventually make larger quantity
of Cumberland coal available. The Ludlo"
Patton recently made round trip between
Cumberland and Georgetown, including lock-
age. in four days and nineteen hours, said to
be the fastest time ever made on the canal.
The owuer of the Ludlow Patton claims that
the simple aud ingenious arrange meot Tor sub
merging her propeller has conducted largely to
her SUI ,cess. She has been running the. enlre
season just closing, has consumed tor fuel ~
tors of coal per Trip, and the repairs to her
motive power have thus far cost but 90 cents.

In pursuance oil our promise made
in our opening statements, we also take
pleasure iI informing our readers that
neither the Enterprise nor the Appeal
have ever intimateG to any OF The
proper authorities desire to learn the
truth in tho premises. We can under
stand why MIR. Congressman Wood ~
desires to c0nciliste the rabble; but
confess We do not comprehend Mighel's
motive in lending his paper to such an
nnfaunded and unjust crusade. As
for The Silver State. we can only say
that we think ourselves incapable OF
resorting to the machinery of the law
10 avenge any real or fancied injuries,
or 10 destroy or injnre q business rival !;
hu. are decidedly opposed to the idea
Of making men who complain to the
proper authorities, Of offences against
the law al the land, odious in the eyes
Of the people. A
We lind this at the end cf al article
in the Humboldt Register in reply to
what the APPEAL and other Republi-
can papers had TO say about the Kelly
trial for publishing quack advertise
ment. We did not accuse the Register
with promoting this charge. But Mr..
Julien, who at one time was connected
with the Register, made a public state
ment some weeks since, thro' the col
umns of that paper, that he did assist
Ragsdale in perfectins the papers. We
do not know who brought on this per-
secution of Kelley, nor do we care; we
only know this. that il seems to have
been actuated by mean, unfair, un-
maniv spiri. and not by any special
motive looking to the bettermsnt OF
morals or the suppression ofquackery.
We are not making any custom made
clothing; but if the garments we are
thus constructing fit anybody, Repub-
Iican or Democrat. newspaper man or
other, let him don them and wear
them.

The Carson MINT.-The Elko indie
pendent, after reviewing what the Af-
PEAL and other papers have had TO say
on the mint question, says:
No person in this State can be made
to believe that there is the least founda-
ton for all this commotion, but be that
as it may, what excuse is that for remov-
ing the Mint? II Mint is in demand

portion OF all the metals extracted in this
country. Where the coin is produced in
the raw state. there turn it into the pieces
of money which are desired. and do not
necessitate the owners Of bullion to pay
the heavy expenses of Shipping it to some
distant city, and then compel them to
remunerate some express or banking
house for conveying the coin back to
where it should have been originally
manufactured. By all means the Carson
Branch Mint should be the last one 10

Washington, March 28.-To-day Min.
lister Schenck appeared before the Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs, bringing Hith
him a satchel flied with papers. H1
read the following paper: II desire re-
specttnlly to state TO the committee that
since my arrival in Washington ba~e
read the printed testimony Of James E.
Lyon and Hiram A. johnson, on which
the charges against me appear to he
founded. Ths testimony Of these wit
nesses was tnken in my absence. without
opportunity of cross-examination. This
evidence proposes to show that the sale
of the Emma mine by Park. Baxter i
Stewart to the Emma Mining Company
Of London was fraud. and that to the
consummation of such fraud knowing
~ lent the assistance of my name and
official position. The charges are very
grave ones, and ask for a full investi-
CATION. For that purpose, although net

| left London as soon as learned from
the newspapers what action had been
taken, and came at once to Washington.
/ might rest my vindication upon a very
simple statement in regard to my own
connection with the transaction in ques-
ton, which | propose 10 make. and from
which it will appear that. under a SIN
cere belief in the value Of the mine and
honesty of the sale of it. bought and
paid for the shares hold now. and sus-
tanned large pecuniary loss; bnt, as the
committee have received evidence grow
ing out OF the previous history OF the
mine, and intended to show that it was
of little value, and that the sale of II was
fraudulent; and this evidence has been
such that after their interest had been
sold and paid for (some OF them were
purchased with large sums of money.
that the subsequent failure of the mine
was owing to mismanagementin its work
ing; that the mine to-day, if properly
worked, in all probability is as valuable
as it was claimed or supposed to have
been; finally, that SO far as | know or
believe, the parties in England who were
concerned in the original purchase. have
never claimed that any fraud or impo-
Sition was practiced under them. that
claim having been recently set up Ivy
those who have bought stock since the
alleged failure Of the mine at a nominal
price, it will be apparent to the commit
tee that this proof involves the interro-
cation of a considerable number OF wit
nesses; that the evidence cannot be pre-
scented except through the means univer-
sally employed in Judicial tribunals, and
the examination of witnesses by compe-
tent counsel, acquainted with the case,
subject of course to such further ques-
tons as any member Of the committee
may wish to put; that to conduct the
inquiry by calling upon Witnesses TO
examine themselves. or by such desnl-
tory and imperfect examination as must
be made by the committee. Not to be
informed OF the facts would be extremely
unjust to the party who relies upon tes-
timony, and would tend to obscure the
truth rather than to elicit it.

PREACHING LAST NIoHT.-Rev Nr.
Allen held divine service at Centennial
Hall last evening, upon the text "A
wise mans eyes are in his head. but the
fool walketh in darkness. The dis
course was we'll written, polished pro-
duction. 1t was liberal in spirit and
satisfied nearly all. If we could have
more like it the whole people would be
improved mentally. morally and reli-
giously. The large and elegant hall
was filled comfortably full. and the
closest attention was paid to the speaker
from first to last. The general object OF
the sermon was to encourage investiga-
ton and agi.atation upon all subjects.
Not all truth is contained in the Bible
or any other book. No true religion
need fear investigation. for it is of God
and will not fall. The martyrs of one
age have been the heroes of the next.
Those who were burnt at the stake by
one generation had monuments erected
to them by the next. Bro. Allen an
nounced that he might preach here the
last Sunday in every month. We are
sure our people will welcome him
heartily.-Humboldt Register, March2'.

gave way. and We are informed that no.
thing more will be done until the new
machinery is put on. There are, we be-

less man, both feet having been frozen

has collected considerable money from

He is accompanied by three or four able
bodied loafers who keep half drunk. and
it is supposed that the cripple furnishes
them with whisky money. 1t is believed
that the man with no feet might do better
by dispensing with his drunken retinue,
and from some remarks made by the
supposed captain Of "G0l 3" yesterday.

Question.
In the House on Monday in the dis
cnssiOa OF the endless and inSOlvSble
financial conundrum the following
debate was had ::
Garfield supported the bill, first Is a
matter of economy, and second because
it was q step in the direction of gene
raj resumption Of specie payment. If
the silver clause was struck out of this
bilt it would be necessary to increase
this appropriation for printing frac-
tional currency to s250,0OO. He ex-
pressed his amaZsment at the spirit
which permcated the speech OF the
gentleman FROM New York iHewitt}
in his declaration that the Resumption
bill was = Republican measure, and
that therefore it should not be bols-
tered up by the Democratic majority
in the House. He intimated that
there was in Hewitts opposition 10 the
bill another big bonanza besides silver
ore. and that was the obtaining con-
tract for a New York bank note COM
pany to print fractional currency. He
reminded the House that fractional
currency had to be renewed every ten
months, while silver currency would
not need to be renewed in half CEN
fury.
Page denied that this bill would ben
eft the Pacific coast any more than
any other part of the country, or that
the interests of California and Nevada
were different in that respect from
those of any other part of the country.
Randall, chairman of the Committee
on Appropriations, closed the debate
with a speech in favor Oft bill.
