Az. Chartl.

The Bodie Standard openly advocates
the starting Of a petition. or some other
movement. asking for or looking to the
release OF All. Chartz from the State
Prison at Carson. 1t says:
We are entirely familiar with the case.
aud believe that he is suffering an I'M
just punishment. brought about by a
local prejudice which was produced and
iniiamed by q dastardly biased descrip-
ton Of the killing by u newspaper rival.
and by a hurried trial before a judge
seeking political preierment, and willing,
in order to secure II. to pander to that
local feeling. As We stated before. We
believe Chartz to be the victim OF q most
unfortunate combination Of circumstan-
ces /; and while he was by no means
blameless in the matter OF killing Riekar.
he was not guilty OF the crime OF williui
aud deliberate murder. aud did not de-
serve the extreme penalty inflicted upon
him by Judge Cole. We hope our pro-
fessional brethren oftho ~Sagebrush State
will stir this matter up.

sREESnAcKs AT Pan IN GOLD.

On the 18th instant gold was sold at
par for the first time since the com.
mencemsnt Of the civil war. thus an.
tieipa,ins the time officially set for re-
sumption by two full weeks. And to
whom. says the New YORK Graphic, is
the country most indebted for this ,
PROFESSIONALLY. to John Sherman. the
Secretary Of the Treasury. While
former Secretaries Of the Treasury
talked, INDUCED in theories. and be.
wildered themselves and the country
with conflicting and dubious words.
Sherman acted with decision and with a
clear and we'll defined purpose. Behold
the result The great shock which
was to upset everything in conse-
quenee Of the resumption Of specie pay
men,s, is apparently not to come. The
country is so eager to see what it will DO
like tibet the people have rushed to meet
IL. Thus far. no n seems to have been
hurt-eHcept. perhaps. the operators
who have been buying gold and locking
il up in anticipation Of an advance.
When asked the cause OF the unexpected
fall. Register Msrsereau said "It's
simple enough. 1t costs two per cent.
to carry gold. while currency is worth
two per cent. II is cheaper to sell 1t
even at par than 1t is to keep 1t. That's
the secret. Nobody wants to carry it.
and. in fact. with gold at par the only
party that can afford to carry II is the
Government. II will dow into the Gus.
