The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1877-01-05
IN FAVOR OF SILVER.

The New York Chamber of Com
merce has adopted resolutions urging
that silver coin be made legal tender
throughout the United States. AS the
Chamber of Commerce is composed of
the leading merchants of New York
City, this is strong endorsement of
the bill now before Congress to make
silver coin legal tender to the amount
of fifty dollars. Heretofore, the oppo-
sition to the measure has been mainly
from eastern congressman and journals,
like the New York Times, made appar-
emily in the interest of the bondhoders.
1t is not likely that the opposition will
be continued longer in the face of the
resolutions of the Chamber of Com
merce. Though the bondholders have
been all powerful and secured first, the
passage of bill to make the bonds,
which were originally payable in green
backs, payable in coin and then the
passage of another bill demonetizing
silver, thus making the bonds payable
IN gold, yet the general business de-
preston now prevailing in all parts of
the country may overmatch them,
and compel the powers that be to re-
store the silver dollar to its old stand
ard and make it legal tender for the
payment of the principal and interest
of the public debt. The United States
is now the great silver producing nation
of the world. and az the majority Of
the bondholders reside in Europe, the
payment of the interest on bonds in
silver will take at least $50, O0O,O 900 OF
that coin, or as much as the mines pro
duce. out of the country annually
This will give an impetus to mining in
Nevada and induce eastern capitalists
to assist in developing its extensive
mineral resources.

THE SCALP LAW.

Governor Bradley in his message
recommends the repeal of the scalp
law, on the grounds of its expense and
the increase of rabbits. consequent on
the destruction of coyotes In accord
ance with this recommendation, bill
to repeal the law has been introduced
by Assemblyman HammaDd, of this
county. AS there are no valid reasons
for opposing the bill, and the members
from the counties outside of Storey.
Lyon and Ormsby are said to be unani-
mously in favor of it, it is probable
that the act authorizing bounties for
the scalps of noxious animals, will be
mmediately repealed.

Severe on Grover.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 4.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.
The feature of the Senate proceed
ings to- day was an able and strong
speech by Wright. of Iowa, on the
Presidential middle and in favor of
his electoral bill He declared that
the power of the Senate in regard to
counting the electoral votes was minis
terial and not judicial, except where
gross frauds appear upon the face of
electoral certificates, as in the case of
Oregon. He said the Senate should
coDdemn the course Of Grover and Cro-
min in the severest terms and see that
the Will of the people of that State
shall not be set aside in such an out
rageous manner. He was very severe
on Grover, who occupied seat in the
Senate chamber during the speech.

AGAINST THE CONVENTION.

resolution passed, at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature, submitting the
question of calling a Constitutional
Convention to vote of the people at
the general election of 1876. AS the
Republicans in this county voted in
favor of the Convention, or at least had
"For Constitutional Convention-Yes"
printed on their tickets, it was sup
posed that that party favored it
throughout the State, and that it car
ried. Yesterday, this illusion was dis
PEELED by message to the Legislature
giving the result of the vote as fol-
lows: Yes, 4,69l; No, S032. This
shows that the people defeated the ex-
pensive luxury and saved the State at
least $4,000.

INDIAN TEES rIMONY.

There is an act on the statute books
OF Nevada making it a misdemeanor
punishable by fine or imprisonment or
both, TO sell or give intoxicating liquor
to Indians. The law is a dead letter
from the fact that other evidence than
that of the Indians is required to con-
Wet those who violate it. Scarcely n
week passes that Indians are not seen
boisterously drunk in this vicinity, vet
the authorities are powerless to sup
press the evil, for the reason that the
evidence of the sober Indians is not
admitted in the courts. The Indians
say they purchase the whisky of Chi.
nese who, by adulteration and exorbi
tant Prices. make the business protita-
bic.
To remedy this evil, the Governor
recommends that the statute be 40
modified as TO allow Indian testimony

Commodore Vanderbilt Dead.

Commodore Vanderbilt Dead.
New YORK, Jan. 4.
Commodore Vanderbilt died at 10: so
this morning. He remained conscious
to the last moments of his life, and
died almost without q struggle. Ever
since Tuesday it has been apparent
that he could last only few days.
At this morning his condition became
rapidly worse. All his family had
been sent for during the night. and
when he died they were at his bedside
William Ell. Vanderbilt arrived soon
after midnight, and remained to the
end. All his daughters and his wife
were present. The news OF his death
spread rapidly. and very many friends
called atthe house this morning and
sympathised with the mourners. Cor
nelius Vanderbilt Jr. arrived Just be-
fore his father died. The funeral will
take place next Sunday at 1890 A. NJ.
News of his death had little effect on
the market, it having been so long ex-
pected. Commodore Vanderbilt was
the owner of securities having a pres.
ent market value of about $50, 600. 900.
and of this total fully $55, 900, 900 con.
sisted of stock of the New York Cen.
trail and Hudson River Railroads.

The Chamber of Commerce to- day

The Bel nett-May Scandal.
The city was considerably excited
last night over the Bennett scandal.
aud the reason of the assault is not
absolutely known. The Times has sew
eral columns about the matter from
which the following are extracts !;
Frederick May had provided himself
with a eow.hide, and lay in wait for
Bennett in front of the Union Climb.
On the latter's appearance be was "a.
saulted, beaten aud thrown down.
The accounts are somewhat conflicting
on the point as to whether Bennett
offered resistance or not. The fracas
itself was witnessed by several mem.
bers Of the Union Club and other gen.
tlemen who were in the neighborhood
and were attracted ~ the Occurrence
to the scene of action. The tidipps of
the affair spread rapidly. and before
evening formed a prominent and almost
the sole topic of conversation at many
clubs and hotels. May is brother of
the lady to whom Bennett was to have
been married to-day.

dy for this growing evil There is I'M
doubtedly strong prejudice in the
minds of many well-meaning persons
against permitting Indians to testify in
courts, but it should be remembered
that their evidence can always be taken
with allowance. Those acquainted
with the Piute character will readily con-
cede that he is entitled to much more
credence than the Chinsman, and as
the latter is allowed to testify, the for
mer should he.
