The Position OF tl,e Administration
ON the silver Question.
NEW YORK., June l3.

NEW YORK, June l3.
A special from Washington SAYS:
The Administration has undoubtedly
agreed upon a policy of remonetizing
the silver held (?). 1t is not wise for
us to cast silver out entirely and per-
manently; that the theory OF the
double standard is the true one; that
if we remonetiZe silver this alone will
tend to steady its value and price all
the world over, and that it is not i'm
probable that some European nations
will find it prudent and even necessary
to follow u example. 1t is said Ger
many has found greater difficulty than
was anticipated in turning silver out of
use;that the German Government found
that the Empire had more silver and
less gold than was originally believed,
and that serious difficulties are now
before the German Government i'm its
attempt to abolish silver. The remon-
citation of silver according to the
ideas and plans of the Administration
will be only and an extension and
completion of the original substitution
OF silver for fractional currency.

EUREKA DAILY SENTINEL.
THURSDAY, JUNE ii, 1877.
THE AMERICAN FLAG.

It is one hundred years ago to-day
since the magnificent ensign of our
country was adopted by Congress.
The resolution WAS in these words:
'.That the flag of the thirteen United
States he thirteen stripes, alternately
red and white; that the Union be
thirteen stars, white in a blue field,
representing n new constellation"
Simple, but how beautiful! Nothing
approxin,atiny its tasteful elegance
was ever thrown to the breeze by any
nation or people since time began.
We gather from history that several
flags were used by the Yankees prior
TO the adoption of the present national
one. In March, IT'S, a union flag
with a red field was hoisted in New
York, bearing the inscription on
side Of George Rex and the Liberties
of America" and upon the reverse,
mo Fopery." General Israel Putnam
raised on Prospect Hill. July IS, IT'S,
. flag bearing On n side the motto Of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
"Qut TranStutn Sustfnet," on the
other, "An Appeal to Heaven" Some
of the Colonies used in l775 a flag with
q rattlesnake coiled as If about to strike,
and the motto, "Don't tread on me-"
These varions flags were used accord
ing to the tastes OF the patriots
until June, l0I when the
blue union of the stars was added to
the stripes, and the flag established by
law. At first, q stripe was added for
each new State, but the flag became
too large, and Congress reduced the
stripes to the original thirteen, and
now the stars are made to pond
in number with the States. No
who lives under the protection Of the
a and stripes will deny that the
American flag Is the most beau
full that floats upon any land or
sea. Its proportions are perfect when
properly made-one-half as broad ss
it is long. The first stripe at the top is
red, the next white, and these colors
alternate, making the last stripe also
red. The blue field for the stars is
the width aud square Of the first seven
stripes. viz: four red and three white.
The colors are in splendid relief, and
no prouder national emblem was ever
designed by the brain of mortal man.
Long may it a u%ntarnished and
the glory Of a mighty free people! To-
day being the hundredth anniversary
Of its adoption, it ought to be con
spicuously displayed.

SAN FRANCISCO, June Is.
The examination OF Pinney on the
S64 900 certificate, issued in the name
OF Thos. Rodgers & Co., a resumed
in the Police Court this afternoon. The
testimony went to show that the Gov
eminent had never owed Rodgers any,
thing like the sum for which the Ger.
t ticate was made out; that Spaldiug
had signed it in blank and that Rodg.
ers had endorsed it without seeing its
contents. The prosecution rested.
The defense asked "a continuance for a
day or two to obtain some evidence,
which was granted. The defense then
announced its readiness to waive ex.
animation OH all the charges of OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.
except those in which the Bank Of
British Columbia, Clay. street Bank
and the Swiss-American Bank were
concerned. On the seven remaining
charges and the two charges of for.
gerry, examination was also waived.
The Court then rearranged Pinney's
bail. In view of the great number of
cases against him, the Court fixed the
bail as follows: On embezzlement
Case, $1,000; on seven cases OF obtain
ing money under false pretenses,
$1,000 each; on two charges OF forgery,
5000 each, which, with the other cases
previously set, makes his total bail
S55 900. none of which has yet been
furnished.
