vague rumors here of possible changes in
the Cabinet, but the names mentioned do
not include those of Evarts, Schurz or

which has been brought upon him from
certain quarters to dismiss his Secretary of

and that if this continues he is not unlike.

TIE WAY TO Do IT.-The Bland Sill
yer Bill passed the United States Senate
on the 3lst prorinlo, without dissenting
voice, and the way it was done is ascribed
to the ingenuity of our ex-Sheriff John
z. Jones. who stood God father for the
measure in the Senate. Recognizing the
great amount of valuable time which
would be wasted by editors and clergy
men in counting million or so in silver
dollars, when making collections or dis
bursements, larger coin was decided
upon. The silver men had number of
specimen silver $40 pieces struck-suita-
bic alike for pin-money and dinner. plates.
These we're distributed among the anti
silver Senators, who were earnestly re-
quested to test the fneness OF the metal
by biting. While the innocent "anti )"
was thus engaged, silver inhationist
would gently rap the outer edge of the
mammoth coin, driving it into his mouth
and thereby effectualy depriving sfic
"anti =" of the Free Speech guaranteed
by the Constitution. When the entire
opposition to the Bill Rad thus been Sc
cured, the measure was called up out of
its regular order. The silver men voted
"Aye !" enthusiastically, but not sound
was heard when the mays" were called.
The proceedings throughout were charac-
terized by the utmost good humor on the
part OF the silver men, the grave and rev.
erend Senators wearing a smile that was
child-like and bland" Even some of
the opposition had their mouths stretched
from ear TO ear.
The mail has arrived since the above
was written. and while we are slightly in
error regarding the particulars Of the
case, the main facts are correct. The SEN
ate simply passed the Billion the file.

BEEcHER's LAsT.-A New York dis
patch Of January 2lst, says that Beech
er preached somewhat remarkable
sermon yesterday, which will attract
much attention and probably call forth
as lively discussion as his discourse on

with his usual eloquence, the inefficiency
of education to save the race, and took
the ground that some influence is neces-
sary to bring into the world beings supe-
rior intellectually and physically to those
who irhabit it, and who will be disposed
to good instead Of evil. Beecher, in al
luding to our present unhappy condition
shed tears and his congregation was of
course visibly and deeply affected. What
is the influence which Beecller thinks is
necessary to save us a.? This question he
did not answer, and unit! he has answer

4 CALIFORNIA DUEL.-At Bodie, Mo-
no county, on Tuesday afternoon, Jack
BrsSlen and q man named Blair, who
have for some time been in partnership
in their business of mining and prospect
ing, met in the bar-room of Pollock S
boarding house and commenced an angry
dispute concerning the terms ofa certain
location they had recently made. They
were both under the influence of liquor,
Braslan more so than Blair. After quar-
reling some time Braslan exclaimed that
he was Chief" which claim Blair dis
puted, saying that he was willing TO fight
him at any distance-from handker-
chief length to forty PAGES. This chal-
lcnge Braslan-whose pistol and belt were
lying on the aoor a shor, distance from
him-accepted, asking for time TO "heel
himself' which he proceeded to do by
buckling on his belt. The two men went
out into the street, appearing more pleas
Antly disposed towards one another than
they had been at any other time during
the day. Placing themselves less than
eight feet apart, at signal from one,
they both fred effectively, Blair being
struck in the shoulder and Baslan on the
aide. After the first shot they both fred
rapidly, until their revolyers, each a six
shooter, had been entirely emptied. After
til, smoke OF the twelve rapidly fired shots
cleared away both men appeared. riddled
with shot, blood from their wounds Grim
soning the snow at every step they took.
Neither seemed TO have been satisfied with
the result, each starting for fresh pistol.
Brasan returned 10 the har-room and
Blair started around the corr or of the
house, where he secured another pistol
from an acquaintance, with which he re-
surned to the bar-room and shot Braslaa
in the abdomen, inflicting wound of
which Braslan died in about fifteen min
ntes. After firing the last shot Blair fell
a the floor from the great loss of blood
He was moved TO the cabin Of friend
where, upon examination, be was found

SAMUEL BowLEs, editor of the Spring
field Republican whose reputation was
deservedly national died on the 18th inst. /,
aged SO years. For "a years he welded
the pen editorial with unusual skill and
unsurpassed honesty, making for himself
and his paper a name among the foremost
writers and publications of the day. Ex-
cessve brain labor was the cause of his
death, and when we remember the high
tension at which this must have been
kept for so many years, it seems marvel
Gus that the faculties were retained to the
last.

MoRToN's Views. AT the time of his
death Senator Morton had partially com.
peted minority report on the Chinese
question. he standing alone as the minor
ity of the Senate Commission to investi-
gate the matter. This so called postum
NOUS report was published on the day set
apart in the Senate for eulogies on the
dead Senator. An associate press tele-
gram from Washington, Jan. 10th, says
of it.: "1he publication of Morton's
views on the Chinese question gives rise
81 considerable speculation in Pacific coast
circles as TO their probable effect on the
pending movement to restrict Mongolian
immigration. The time for their presen-
tstion to the Senate was artfully selected,
90 as 10 give them the adventtious adyan-
tsge of utterances from tho grave OF
great man, whose greatness was being
magnifed, and whose mental obliquities
we're passed over on the day of his COM
m.morstive funeral euloges. The occa.
zion was also improved by the distribu-
e'o'i NhiS"Bhoue thc Sh pitui VI SOples VI luo
memorial of the Six Chinese Companies.
The Pacific coast delegation are, however,
very hopeful OF being able to show that
the Indiana Senator took very resticted
and imperfect views of tie most impor-
tsnt element ofthe problem. They observe
that the paper left by him, although very
full in its disquisition concerning natural
God given rights, the genius OF American
institutions and the usefulness of Chinese
cheap labor in former periods of Caiifor-
MAS development, is, nevertheless, very
meager in its reply to the argument that
the period when Chinese labor was gen.
orally advantageous or indispensable has
passed away. 1t is believed that the eff
iect Of Morton's plea for the continued
f'eo adm E ion of Mongolians will be
weakened by the logical deduction which
10 himself makes and insists upon, that
The Chinaman must be given the right to
,ote ard armed with The ballot ms well as
al. other -'ghts of American citizenship"

SAN Francisco has finally become
thoroughly alarmed at the incendiary
utterances and repeated threats of Kear-
ney, Wellock, Knight and others. A
special act was passed by the Legislature
and received the Governors approval,
making their crime " felony" whereas
il has heretofore been only a INSIDE
meanor." This appears to be entirely
unnecessary, for if the San Francisco au
thorities had enforced the law as it stood
the trouble would probably have been at
an end ere now.

prevented by treaty stipulations rather
