Hayes and Secretary Sherman their ep

Our Washington dispatches
contain information that the Sec
retary of the Treasury has de-
termined that the first silver dol
lars to be issued will be used
only in exchange at par for gold
coin or for the purchase of sill
yer bullion at the market price.
He don't feel at liberty to use
them to pay for current ex-
penses until the amount coined
is sufficient to furnish all alike
without discrimination. There
fore they will at present be used
for the purchase of silver bull
lion at the market rates. The
silver certificates will soon be
ready for issue, and arc of the

own nearly as much stock in
the road at present as that pro-
posed to be subscribed by the
counties, they would be entitled
to only thirteen votes against
the 3,475 of the counties, which
would leave them in anything
but pleasant situation.
There are many other points
of interest in this act which we
would like to discuss, but it
seems to US that section 3 covers
sufficient ground to justify the
action of the Directors without
further objections.

Tho Campaign.

By reference to another col
umn it will be seen that Col.
Charles II. Larrabse, the nom-
inee of the Democratic party to
represent the Third Judicial
District in the Constitutional
Convention, will open the cam
paign, making his first speech at
SnohOmish on the 10th inst.
Notwithstanding the fact that
party lines were drawn at the
outset, and candidates placed in
the field to represent the Dem
ocratic, Republican and Temper
ance parties, we are gratitied to
discover that the rank and file
of all seem disposed to lay aside
their prejudices and make com
mon cause in the election of the
tittest men to represent their IN
terests in the Constitutional
Convention. As none Of the
nominating conventions made a
platform for their candidates to
stand upon, 1t is now incumbent
that the several gentlemen nom
mated should take the stump
and define their views upon the
questions which will enter inte
the composition of the funda-
mental law of the coming State.

In the history of this cOuntr

In the history of this country
there has probably been no year
that has equalled the last in the
amount of official peculation and
mercantile fraud which has
shocked the moral sense of the
public and brought unmerited
suffering and ruin on thousands
of innocent heads. A list of the
more prominent instances of no.
torious fraudulent crimlnality
during the twelvemsnth foots up
trifle over $30,OOO,OOO, and of
the dishonest rascals who have
brought such opprobrium on the
age and country and such suffer-
ing On a large number of the
poor, scarcely half a dozen are
behind the prison bars which
should shutin the whole of them.
A public sentiment healthily Sc
we're and a vigorous enforcement
of all legal penalties, are the
most effective means Of putting
an end to such sad display of
knavery.

DR.. Phillips, the Trenton pris-
on physician, tells the investi-
eating committee, in a matter of
fact sort of manner, that he
poured alcohol upon the backs
of convicts and then ignited it,
to ascertain whether they were
shamming. And yet people will
argue that there is no hell for
the future punishment of such
inhuman Wretches.

Six hundred dollars is the for
tune the average Chinaman on
this coast marks out for himself.
He knows nothing but silver
trade dollars. He won't touch
checks, greenbacks or nickels.
The common dollar he will have
nothing to do with. The Cali
fornia coin alone has charms for
him. When his 5000 are earned
he takes his bag on his back and
starts for home, to marry and
live as a nabob. Quite as many
are leaving for home at present
as arrive at San Francisco.

SATURDAY. MARCH 16, 1878
The County Loan.

on Friday evening last, the
conditions of the Act authoriz-
ing certain counties to aid in the
construction of the road by vot-
ing certain sums for that pur-
pose, were freely discussed, and
the conclusion arrived at is that
the aid proposed in the bill
would be useless to the compa
ny, and should therefore be re-
jected. The principal objections
were: 1st, that the counties
which should give such aid
would become simply stock
holders in the company to the
amount appropriated; I'd, that
the aid which might be given by
the counties on the eastern end
of the road must be expended
in constructing the road at that
end, Notwithstanding such con-
struction might prove detrimen-
tai to the best interests of the
company; I'd, that without the
sanction Of Congress it would
be extremely doubtful if capt.
talists would loan their money
on the bonds OF any county thus
voted.
In connection with the fore
going objections there are other
matters of weighty considera-
ton connected with the act.
which 30 doubt Influenced the
action of the Directors, but were
not mentioned in their state
ment. Section 3 of the Act pro-
vides that special election of
the legal voters shall be held in
each of the counties named on
the 9th day Of April, 1873, and
if at such election a majority Of
the legal uoters In such county are
in. favor of subscription, then
the Board Of County Commits
sioners shall appoint an agent to
subscribe to the capital stock of
said company, etc. From this it
will be seen that notwithstand-
ing a majority Of the votes poll
ed might be in favor Of the loan,
yet unless they constituted a
majority Of the legal Votes of
the county, they would have no
force or effect. To illustrate:-
King county has say, 1000 legal
voters; at such election only
900 votes are cast-40O in favor
of the loan and 200 against it.
Now 1t will be seen that al
though a majority of 400 of the
legal voters were in favor of the
loan, yet their votes were nuga-
tory for the reason that the
opinions of the 400 who staid
away from the polls could not
be ascertained. AS this is the
only construction that can be
placed on the most vital section
of this act, the Board Of Direct
ors no doubt considered the con-
tingencies which might keep a
large portion of the electors of
each county from the polls, and
concluded that under the Sec
ton named it would be impossi-
BILE to get an expression of pub
lie sentiment On the question,
either for or against. Sec. 4 of
the act provides that the sever
al counties shall be entitled to
one vote in the Board Of Direct
ors for every hundred dollars
which they subscribe. AS the
amount to be voted is S347 800,
1t would give the counties sub
scribing 3,475 votes. AS now
constituted the Board of Direct
ors consist of thirteen members,
each one, regardless of the
amount Of stock held by them,
being entitled to but one vote;
hence, although these thirteen

How the People are pIundere,

How the People are PIundered
The House Committee on Mil
itary Affairs has adopted a
course in its examination of
army expenditures which is
likely to yield most important
results. Under the direction of
the chairman one army officer
after another has been sum-
moncd before the committee,
and interrogated as to the ex-
act amount Of his pay, which in
cases of officers holding sinecure
positions in Washington and
elsewhere proves to be much
larger than the published state
ments would lead one to expect.
It is shown, for instance, that
Surgeon Baxter, Medical Pur-
veyor, with the rank of Colonel,
receives over $4,000, while his
nominal salary is only $4,000,
and even that is some $500 more
than was paid to Colonels in ac-
tive service during the war. He
receives in the first place s1,O5O
as longevity pay. In addition
ne gets 500 a month for rent of
six rooms, or s1,0S0 year. The
method Of expenditure is an
other illustration of the way in
which the army is made expen-
sive and useless. Baxter lives
in large house whose rent is
500 a month, and he testified
before the committee that while
the Government paid $50 per
month for the rent of six rooms,
he paid $40 a month for the rent
of the rest Of the eight or a
dozen rooms-a plain evasion of
law. He also receives $500 a
year for forage for two horses.
The law requires that these
horses shall be used in the pub
lie service, and when Gen. Ban
ming asked him in the execution
of what orders he had found it
necessary to use these horses for
three years past, Baxter was un-
able to remember, except, as he
flippantly remarked, they were
needed to bring him up before
the committee. 1t appears, then,
that the Government has paid
5000 to feed two horses, whose
only legal and official USE had
been, according to Baxter's tes-
timony, to carry him a mile and
a half, which he could have COW
cred in the horse cars for five
cents.
The most scandalous discles-
ure made was that, with pen
sions thirteen months in arrears,
half of the clerks in the Surgeon
Generals Office are kept at work
on the Surgical and Medical
History of the War. Out Of 12O
clerks 66 are employed on pen
sion claims and 81 on the histo-
ry, and. in answer to questions,
Surgeon General Barnes said
that he considered the compile
ton Of the history Of more im-
portance than the disposal of
pension cases. 1t will be re-
membered that a great outcry
was recently made because tie
House had not provided enough
clerks to examinepension claims.
