states that many old settlers aver
that ut the time of the settlement
of Austin there were no swallows,

asks "are swallows like mice, an adj

the Reveille that neither swallows
nor mice are adjuncts Of civiliza'i m.
A few years ago the writer. while on

lows in the Goose Creek Valley,
away from the Indications of civil
lied people, than IN any settled part
of the country he has ever visited.
They built in the overhanging bluffs
which skirt the narrow valley, and
were almost as numerous as musqui-
toes along the creek. AS for mice,

TREASURY officials state that $751;
100000 Of one and two dollar notes
are outstanding. This is one-seventh
of the entire greenback circulation.
Owing TO the scarcity Of this change
it is believed some people are hoard
ing them, thinking that with the sus-
pension of the issue and that in pro-
cess of resumption of specie payments
they will become more valuable than
other denominations. This idea Is
erroneous, as these notes are still
being furnished the assistant treas
urers. The total amount Of silver
issued since April 90. 1876, is $751;
1884, 400 of fractional currency; now
outstanding, $2O,O75,SO1; s. 100000

Office of Coroner. Two medical ex-
aminers are to perform the duties
heretofore attended to by the forty
three Coroners of Boston, and the
medical examiner has no power to

action, he will report to the District

WAR IN CALIFORNIA.

WAR to the knife and the knife
to the hilt," is raging in Califor-
MIA, all growing out of the Pin
ney revelations published in the
San Francisco Chronicle. Billy Carr,
Senator Sargent and Congressman
Page are going for Pinney and the
Chronicle at the expense of the peo-
pie of California, and they don't pro-
pose to let the good people off light
ly. The war against Pinney is
confined to San Francisco and he is
arrested every day on a new charge
of raising vouchers, embezzlement,
ETC., and it Is given out that they in
tend to prefer eighty different charges.
But the field of operations against
the Chronicle embraces the whole
State. The Chronicle is to be treat
ed to two or three indictments for
libel in each county, if Sargent and
Page can procure them. Two have
been found by special grand jury
at Placerville and the grand jury at
Stockton is being energeticaliy bull
dosed.
This manner of prosecuting the
Chronicle will bring to its aid the
popular sympathy, and to Sargent
and Page the popular hatred and
anathema. If these gentlemen have
been libeled, the Chronicle should be
punished and indicated, but all this
could be done in the courts of San
Francisco. We think Sargent has
made q mistake that will be fatal to
his Senatorial aspirations, even should
the Chronicle fail to prove its accu'
sations against him.

SENATOR JONES ON SILVER.

Our readers remember thdt tho
statement was recently telegraphed
TO this coast that Senator Jones had
experienced great change of opin-
ion on financial questions; that he
had become convert to the doctrine
of interconvertible bonds and unlim-
tied issue of greenbacks, and all the
other idiosyncracies Of the Greenback
party. We did not believe word OF
it, and 90 concluded to await inform
alton from personal or reliable
source. We could not believe that
Nevada's Senator had gone back upon
the hard money policy he has SO long
and so ably advocated, and thus
abandoned the interests of his con-
stituents. The San Francico Post,
speaking authoritatively for Senator
Jones, publishes the following edito-
rial contradiction of the sensational
dispatch referred to:
"When John P. Jones deserts his
faith in the value and propriety of sill
yer as a standard for money, or ceases
his earnest advocacy thereof, then all
confidence in public men will be at
an end. There is not to-day an officer
of this Government, in its entire
length ard breadth, that has sacri-
feed time, money or personal con-
venience as has been done by Senator
Jones since he accepted from Con-
gress the craftsmanship of the Silver
Commission. He would have been
worth many hundreds of thousands
of dollars more than now, had be
consulted his private business inter-
ests, and left the investigation of this
subject to others. Instead of so do
ing he has remained at his post of
official duty, sought every available
fact in the money centers of tine
world to elucidate the abstruse sub
ject, collected the varied opinions of
all experts and scholars, and has
built up in concise form from these
inquiries a mass of information and
enlightened experience that will be
not only as lamp to guide the &C.
ton of our Legislators, but for all
time will exist as monument to the
zeal, fidelity to principle and correct
judgment of this worthy representa-
tive of the people. No other name
will go into the history of finance so
Justly entitled to bear company with
Hamilton and Webster as that of the
senior Senator from Nevada. 1t is
simply child's talk to speak of any
backing down in the case of such a
man. His convictions are part of
his temperament. They have grown
with his growth, and ripened with
his experience, and Mount Davidson
rests no more firmly upon its base
than does John P. Jones upon the
faith that specie resumption can never
be secured in this country upon a
gold standard alone, and that silver
is entitled to its equal place in the
money of the market"
