LAND!


With the same feeling of relief that in
spires the mariner at the close of tenn
pestuous voyage, we hail the approaching
end of the political navigation which for
more than three months has threatened
the national vessel with wreck. Pursuing
the nautical figure, we see the land and
are in soundings, yet it is important to
put the pilots in charge, and let them take
the noble vessel to her moorings. The
count of the Oregon vote gives Mr.. Hayes
one hundred and seventy-eight votes, and
with the vote of South Carolina, which
has been conceded by the Democratic
committee, will make him President of
the United States.
There is but the further danger that
the desperate Democracy may flibuster
and adjourn away the time until the COM
mission and the Congress which created
it shall have passed away. Mr.. Field, an
eminent criminal lawyer, sent to Congress
for the peculiar talent which had de-
Tended the centennial thief Tweed, has
prepared bills contemplating that dis
graceful anarchy SO common in Mexico.
Mr.. Field unconsciously proposes to en-
ploy the very terms used to describe the
dictatorship of Santa Anna. Mr.. Field
proposes a President ad interimL There
is also obvious endeavor on the part OF
the reckless element to break up the
country. This is shown in the caucus
vote to lose day by adjournment over
till Monday.
There was, however, an indication that
nineteen Northern and Western Demo-
Gratis do not approve this faithless policy,
so that we may still hope this conserva-
tive adherence to the decision Of the
Democratic tribunal will be strong enough
to insure peaceful count of the remain
ing nine States
There are other resources upon which
the Republicans can rely for success. The
rulings of Speaker Randall are under
stood to be adverse to revolutionary de-
bate. The Senate may, in view of pos
sible Democra tic treachery, proceed to
count the electoral vote through the
President of the Senate. Let the at
tempted obstruction result as it may, the
nation will have had an occasion to see
who are the politicians that would again
ieopardize the Union for the sake of party.
This violation of political pledges COM
menced with the repeal Of the Missouri
compact; it continued in the reputation
of the Wheeler compromise, and it would
eliminate in the dishonor of enacting the
Electoral Commission and then breaking
up its session by refusing to abide by its
decision.
Our readers will see the position and
prospects which present themselves al
this moment. The Republicans of Louis
lana can but maintain the caution with
which they have avoided any act to COM
plicate the national status at Washing.

every practicable way by the govern
ment, the banks and the people. Con-
gress, if it had not been incompetent
or Indifferent, could have, as congress
did after the war of 1872, done much
to facilitate resumption. A return TO
specie payments can be made easy or
hard-easy by inspiring confidence and
union, or hard by exciting distrust and
denunciation. Resumption is ma
tional question, and should be so con-
Quoted as re-unite all sections, all
classes and all parties. Paper money
is as Indispensable as gold or silver.
Indeed, we are far more largely in
debted to rags as it is now the fash
ion to characterize bank notes, for our
national property, than to silver or
gold. In it's most deprecated condi-
ton paper money subsisted our fore
fathers during the Revolutionary war.
Paper money carried our country
through the war with England in 1872.
Paper money preserved our govern
ment and union. Without paper
money from ITO to 1876 we should
have made a poor show at the Phila-
delphia Centennial. With metallic
currency our progress would have been
very tardy. The forests would not
have disappeared, nor would villages
and cities have grown up with unpre-
cedented rapidity. All our interests,
all our industries and all our institu
tons have been cherished, sustained
and protected by the use OF paper
money. With nothing but hard mon
ey' from the landing Of the pilgrims,
we should have had nothing but hard
times. Paper, as the representative
of silver and gold, was enabled to
work out enlightened and muniticlent
enterprises and objects. comforting
wealth and happiness upon our people
and imparting strenth to our govern
ment! While, therefore, paper is
convertible at all times and places into
1 coin, bank notes are just as valuable
as the precious metals. The great
purpose and object of resumption Is
not so much to bring gold into circula
ton as to restore to the bank notes
f their convertible character. Gold i

Wednesday morning at about three
o'clock an alarm Of fire was again
heard in Silver City, and the citizens
hurried to another unequal contest
with the destroying element. The
handsome residence recently occupied
by Col. Robinson, Superintendent of
the South End mine, was in flames
and the lack of water supply and fire
apparatus Of any kind made its entire
destruction certain. All our people
could do was to save small portion
of the furniture and then devote their
efforts to saving adjacent property.
The residence of J. A. Waddell was
only twenty or thirty feet away and
across narrow street stood Miners
Union Hall. If the fire had com.
municated to either the destruction
of considerable portion of the town
would have been quite inevitable, but
fortunately these we're saved from
ignition by being kept wet. Our
citizens deserve credit for the brave
work doue.
The fire is generally believed to
have been incendisry. the premises
being unoccupied. Mrs. Pascoe, who
was making arrangements to move
into the house, was there as late a.
nine O'Clock in the evening fixing
some carpets, etc, but she is very
positive the candle was totally ex-
tinguished, she having wet her fingers
and put out the wick.
The loss on house and furniture Is
between two and three thousand dol
lars. Mr.. Waddell also sustained
some damage by the hurried removal
of the furniture and fixtures from his
house. Mr.. Chaplin was insured 10
the Home Mutual Insurance Com
pany of San Francisco, 81 500 on the
building and $500 on the furniture.
Assemblyman Wright had hand
quite badly hurt while removing a
sash to get into room to save the
furniture. h did not observe the
wound till after he had passed the
things out.

Business at the Lake.

The Carson Tribune says: Moody
& Baily, Of the Grand Central Hotel,
have purchased steam yacht, twen-
ty five feet long, to be used expressly
tor the benefit of the boarders at that
beautiful hotel. Campbell, OF the
Hot Springs, has made g -, prepare
tions for the spring campaign. and
will keep regular line of comnuni-
cation between Carson, the Springs
and Tfuckee. Moody will put his
splendid stages on the route on or be-
fore May 1st, aud Cardwell will also
start his stage about that time. The
roads cannot be blocked up again,
and so il is an assured fact that the
season at the beautiful lake will open
out earlier by two months than for
the past six years. The chances are
that tourists will flock to the lake
this summer in preference to seeking
other places for recreation and health.
Doc Benton is on hand, aud expects
to be so; he has exhibited great en-
ergy In the business and deserves the
support of the travelling public.

Expenditures ON Claims.

We copy the following very i'm.
portant mining intelligence from the
San Francisco Scientific Press, and
advise every one interested in mining
to give the article a careful perusal !:
keep up your annual expendi-
lures on your mining claim, as
required by law, and you will have
no trouble. This is our advice to
half dozen inquirers about con-
struction Of the United States mining
law tn get over this difficulty. The
trouble is that the law is capable Of
several constructions as it stands, and
Of course those interested make the
most favorable construction for them
selves. Some miners have even made
up their minds not to do the work
required, but simply to be on hand
when the year is up, and relocate and
continue to do so. Even if this could
be done, however, it would probably
not conform to the LOCAL regulations,
80 that the claim might be jumped
any day; and therefore miners pur-
suing these tactics stand very good
chance of losing their property.
The conditions to be complied
with are simply these: On each 10.
cation prior to May 10, 1872, ten dol.
lars worth OF work must be perform.
ed or Improvements made on each
one hundred feet each year after the
LIST of January, 1875. On each claim
located after May 10, 1879, not less
than one hundred dollars worth OF
work must be performed or improve
ments made each year, beginning
January 1, 1875, and thereafter until
a patent has been issued therefor"
1t must be borne in mind, however,
that the Commissioner of the Land
Office has decided that the year shall
commence from the date of the loca-
ton Of the claim. This is not gen.
orally understood, but it is fact.
The expenditures must, moreover,
be kept up continually until patent
is issued. Failure to make the ex-
penditures or do the full amount Of
work, renders the ground vacant. It
will not d. for the owners simply to
go there on the beginning Of the
year and be in possession. If no one
has taken the ground they must for
mally relocate, record and comply
with the local regulations concerning
boundaries, etc, all over again, just
as it it was q new claim. If this Is
not done the title will be faulty anil
one may be liable at any moment to
lose his ground. A case in point has
recently proven this.

THE COMBINATION SHAFr.-The
Chollar. Norcross-Savage joint shaft
is below the 1200-toot level and pro-
crossing at an average rate of about
two and half feet per day. 1t is
being sunk by a joint company in
which the Chollar owns 1,400, the
Hale & Norcross 400, and the Savage
800 shares. 1t is located $500 feet
east of the Chollar groupings, and
will strike the ComstOck lode at a
depth of between 5000 and 1000
feet. About fifty men are employed
at the works, and an average of three
cords of wood per day are consumed.
