SUGGESTIONS.

A Paradise Valley correspondent of
the SILVER STATE suggests that 10 con.
sideration of the services rendered the
State by Senator j. p. Jones on the
silver question, that he be endorsed for
reelection by the Democrats, and that
their nominees for Legislative Offices
be instructed to vote for him. As many
Democrats, who appreciate the untiring
efforts of Senator Jones to release the
people from the thraldom of the gold
brokers and money lenders of the East,
would have no objection to his re-
election provided they were afforded an
opportunity to elect citizen Of Nevada
who would represent the interests of
the State in the Senate. instead of
Sharon. in the event of their having a
majority in the next Legislature; yet,
under existing circumstances, would
not consent to this arrangement, why
cannot compromise be Effected which
would insure the re election of Senator
Jones and give the people chance to
elect representative to ill the vacant
seat of William Sharon? This is the
era of reconciliation. The sectional
and partisan animosities engendered by
slavery and the rebellion have been
buried with the "bloody shirt. " Party
lines are not very clearly defined. and
it is rather difficult to distinguish the
boundaries which separate Democrats
and Republicans. After the 4th of
March next the United States Senate
will be Democratic by decisive ma
jority, and Nevada would lose nothing,
but might gain much, by having one of
its Senators member of the dominant
party. But however this may be,
neither the interests of the State or of
party are advanced by permitting Viii
liam Sharon to play -:dog in the
manger" until the end OF his term.
We suggest, therefore. that both Re-
publican and Democratic conventions
endorse Senator Jones for re election,
and demand the resignation of Senator
Sharon, This will ensure the election
of one Republican and give both
parties fair show to elect the other,
ss Sharon could scarcely refuse to COM
ply with the unanimous request OF the
people of Nevada, and continue to be
nominally the representative OF State
III which he does not reside, and whose
interests he does not pretend to repre-
seat,

Prospects OF a Long Session of Com

CHICAGO, March 6.
The Tribune's Washington special
says: Congress is hopelessly behind
with its work, and the prospect of the
longest session within reasonable men,
DRY is beyond question. The Appro-
priatlon Committee of the House has
never been 80 negligent and slow. The
seventy seventh rule of the House re-
quires that all appropriation bills shall
be reported to the House by the COM
mittee within thirty days from the as
sembling of Congress, and yet three
times thirty days have passed and only
two bills of the thirteen have thus fsr
been reported. One of these-the
Military Academy bills now before
