Whatever may be the final result Of
the attempt to count disputed electoral
votes by a commission, the judgement
of every thoughtful man must commend
the moderation and patriotism shown by
the Democrats They were faced by the
army, rapidly masslng at Washington
under Grants threat that if Ferry s
right to count and declare the electoral
vote were resisted he would march troops
into the house of representatives and put
the members into Fortress Monroe. Not
through fear OF personal consequences,
but 10 the conviction that such a course
would breed civil war, did the Democrats
assent to the creation of judicial tribu-

supreme bench, only one of whom was

were in terms invested with all the DOW

BUTTS AGAIN.

What we have said on the general subject
of Butts is merely Introductory. We don't
want the Doctor to consider it personal, at all
We are about to open up on the merits of the
case; warm up to it, so to speak, in the
course of few days. We are not putting
Butts for the Office of Street Inspector. We
like Butts where he is, and approve of what
he is doing. We only want him in the above
named position, conditionally; that is if any
bodv goes in. We think the ordinance fool
ishness, and the Office unnecessary. We need
a Street Inspector about as much as we do
another dome on the Capitol, and the crea-
ton of the office at a salary of S12O per month
is an unwarrantable burden on the taxpayers.
We don't 60 cent on this new thing. 1t looks
like hole made for an old gopher. But 1t
has been made, and if any one is to fill 1t let
it be Butts Better still, let the ordinance
be repealed, keep Butts as he is, and save the
CITY the above amount. We understand that
there is petition in circulation, the object OF
which is to plead with the Trustees and hum
bly, pray, they may not throw the funds away,
and urge them if there is chance, to cut
down on that ordinance, and so to cover up the |
ruts, by letting things be run by Butts. We
haven't seen the petition yet, but In common
with all interested taxpayers we will take
pleasure in decorating it with our mark with
out a moments hesitation.

WET EATING.-A traveller, left at a small
road, sauntered up the street in search OF
something to satisfy the cravings of the inner
man. 1t was after midnight and most of the
places were closed Finally he saw window
with the welcome notice Eating Saloon. -
He entered; there was a bar and two chairs.
He looked uncertain, but inquired of the
drowsy looking attendant if he was in an
eating saloon as the mystic characters upon
the pane announced. 'Yaas," was the reply
"Vot you thinks you goin to haf?" "Weu,"
said he, still looking incredulously around,
''Ill take a steak. The bar keeper gave him
one searching and contemptuous look, as
though he had struck a monstrosity, and in
whitening tones, accompanied by violent

fast as he could, and caught her. Then there

AN MIGRATE. Silver State of Nov. -
tells the following story of an ungrateful
scamp: Some time since the Jamison brothers
in Pleasant Valley, found a man named John
Black here penniless and in rags. They en-
gagged him to herd sheep, purchased clothes
for him and took him to their ranch. Last
week he repaid this kindness by stealing from
his employers camp $40 shot gun, horse,
saddle and bride worth 500 and a shepherd
dog for which they had refused s75. He has
left for parts unknown, but most probably
for the southern part of the State or Arizona.

of John G. Fox's new brick store is laid III
good shape, and is substantial and well made.
Even Benton may press the full length of his
easy fourteens without the least danger OF
displacing plank. Fox has built it on a
level with Harris's stone pavement, which is
eminently correct and plumb. This, how
ever, makes long step down on to the pave
ment in front of James & Borges' tonsorial
establishment. The walk from there up to
Brooks ought to be raised. The rest of the
sidewalk on Carson street is regular, and it is
very inconvenient, if not dangerous, to pedes-
TRANS to have to step down to the lower level
and step up again, at this point. The expense
would be light and the improvement is much
needed. Let us have as good and safe and
creditable sidewalk on the west as we have
on the east side of the street.

New York, Nov. ia Times editorial
says: The House resolution calling for a
statement of the amount of gold in the
Treasury available for resumption pur-
poses has elected a very satisfactory
reply from Secretary Sherman. The response
made to a similar resolution sixteen
months ago showed that the total amount of
gold coin then held in excess of all liabilities
was S17 1878, 6O2. The response to be made
to-day will show a coin balance for the re-
demption of legal tender notes amounting to
about 100000, 900. This gives an average
monthly accumulation since July, 1876, of
So, 500, $50 or a total gain of $40, SOC, 900.
Considering that $50, 100000 is at present the
coin reserve of the Bank of England, and that
some So ZOO, OOO, 900 of banking liabilities in
Great Britain rests on this slender foundation,
it seems obvious if Congress would keep its
hands off finances there is nothing to prevent
the Treasury, during the thirteen months sep
arating it from the date of resumption, from
making ample preparations to meet all de-
mands likely to be made upon it for gold coin
