EUREKA DAILY SENTINEL.
ID BOTCHED.


The conviction is gaining ground
that the Bland Silver bill was badly
botched in the Senate. In fact, we
very much doubt If it is worth the
paper on which 1t Is written, since
coming from that body. Why Jones
and the other true friends of silver
should have allowed it to be so merci-
lessly butchered seems inexplicable.
The people demanded that silver be
placed on an even plane with gold;
that there should be no discrimination
In favor of one and against the other.
Their hopes in this regard have been
sadly disappointed. RECOMMENDATION,
In the broad contemplated, must
inevitably prove a failure under the
terms of the Senate bill. Coinage is
limited to $4,000, 900 per month contin-
gent at the same time on moneys in the
Treasury mot otherwise appropri-
ated" to purchase an equal mount of
bullion at current market rates. If
there is benefit in this for the silver
producing sections, or relief for the de-
pressed business interests of the Gun
try, we fail to see it. With q Secretary
of the Treasury hostile to the so-called
double standard, there is 40 likelihood
that there will be any material increase
in the volume of silver in the neal flu.
ture. The whole scheme gives prom.
ise of being disastrous blunder, which
the people will early realize in its ter
rible enormity. The friends of remon.
etization in the Senate were sufficiently
strong to have passed the Bland bill
pure and simple, and that they
should have allowed its enemies to
have destroyed its good features with
bungling amendments does not reflect
credit on their legislative experience
and ability. Eloquent set speeches
are we'll enough in their way, but
there is another kind of legislative
ability, that of combating and ward
ing off advantages tending to negative
q given measure, which is of equal or
greater importance. This latter quail
ty, we regret to say, was not displayed
by the silver men in the Senate pend
ing the consideration of the Bland bill.
AS the matter stands now 1t would
to be the proper thing for the

THE DEATH
The Question of Rover's Sanity.
HIS r. X N.
HE PROTESTS HIS INNOCENCE
TO THE LAST.

RENO, New, Feb. 10.
After considerable testimony this
morning, the question of Rover's san
ity was submitted to the jury, who an
nounced, after being cut over an hour,
that they were unable to agree. They
stood seven in favor of sanity, against
five in favor of insanity. Rover be-
ing informed that his last hope was
gone, said he was prepared to die. and
the preparations for his execution were
continued.
Father Petit, and another priest,
were with him from that time con-
tinually.
Rover had strong hopes of his res.
pite up to noon. His last words were,
81 am no afraid. Ii l had one drop
of cowardly blood in me, l would cut
it out"
He did not sleep at all last night, but
ate a hearty breakfast this morning.
| At ten minutes past one O'Clock this
afternoon, leaning heavily on Sheriffs
Lamb and Swift, and preceded by the
two priests, Rover entered the court
yard, being almost carried up the gal
lows steps,
After the reading of the death war
rent, Rover commenced to speak,
though scarcely able to talk at first.
but grew stronger as he proceeded,
being literally supplied with whisky,
and spoke for over an hour. constant
ly reiterating his assertions of inno-
cence of the murder, and of McWor.
thy's guilt. together with piteous ap-
peals to the crowd for assistance.
He professed his belief in the Cath
Ollie religion, and, after being repeatedly
urged by Father Petit to desist from
talking, he finally stepped on the trap,
with the remark, Il hope to meet
many of you in Heaven"
When the Sheriff put the moose on
his neck, Rover was so weak as to re-
quire two men to keep him from falling.
AT ten MINUTES to 3 O'Clock the trap
was sprung, and he fell heavily a dis
lance of seven feet, and hung motion
less. His neck was probably broken
instantly, and he died without a
culver.
Rover was As years old, and was a
native of New York. He came to this
coast in 1850.

THE IRM

1t is the talk among the San Fran
cisco papers that the Bonanza firm has
been dissolved. The SENTINEL had a
dispatch the other day denying the
story from headquarters, but it seems
the matter is not yet set at rest. The
Stock Exchange of the 10th inst. pub
fishes the following;
All signs indicate that the Bonanza
firm has disrupted, and that Messrs.
Mackay and Fair have withdrawn
from the alliance. Indeed it is assert
ed that MIR. Mackay, having bought
Baron Grants palace IN the Thames,
will withdraw himself and a great por-
ton of his wealth to Europe, and make
London his future home. 1t is under
stood that the relations Of all the MEM
bers of the firm are pleasant, but that
Mr.. Mackay simply wants to retire
from active business. Hemay become
the figure head of an immense banking
house in London, founded with bo-
nanza capital, but nothing further.
Another story is to the effect that Mr..
Mackay has been informed that if he
renews his native allegiance, and brings
his immense wealth to England, a bar
onetcy at least-and not improbably,
an Irish earldom-may be placed at
his disposal.

A SOUTHERN exchange says signs
are thickening that Mr.. Jefferson Davis
will be in Congress almost as soon as
his disabilities are removed. Well,
suppose he is? In what particular is
jeff Davis any worse than Stephens,
Hill, Gordon ct al. They were all reb-
els alike, and the men who elevated
Davis to the Presidency of the Confed-

MEN OF BACH BONE.

Of all things, deliver us from mega
tive men; men who have not the
moral courage to utter ar opinion and
stand by it; men who agree to every
thing with everybody and who are
all things to all men. The world is
full of just such people, and they are
usually popular, but in cases of great
emergency they are seldom worth
turning over in the road. An exchange
makes this truthful reference to the
subject in hand: Have you enemies ?
Go straight OH and mind them not.
II they block up your path, walk
around them and do your duty re
CARELESS of their spite. A man who
has no enemies is seldom good forany-
thing; he is made ofthat kind of materi.
al which is so easily worked, that every
one has q hand in it. A sterling char
acter-one who thinks for himself, and
speaks what be tbinks-is always sur
to have enemies. They are as neces
sary to him as fresh air; they keep
him alive and active. A celebrated
character, who was surrounded with
enemies, used to remark: "They are
sparks, which, If you do not blow,
they will 60 out themselves" Let this
be your feeling while e~ndeavoring to
live down the scandal Of those who r
bitter against you. II you stop to dis
pute, you do but as they desire, and
open the way for more abuse. Let the
poor fellows talk; there will be a re-
action il you perform but your duty,
aad hundreds who were once alienated
from you will flock to you and &C
knowledge their error.

More specifically, Mr.. Wells reviews
Sherman's charges against Judge
Whitaker; shows the aniinus which
Re displayed on the trial of Anderson,
and declares hat during the greater
OF that trial he vas in a beastly
state of intoxication. He charges the
Attorney General with having specu-
lated in the collection of taxes; with
being cognizant Of the packing of the
Jury in the Anderson case; with bully
ing and threatening a witness before a
grand Jury, in order to force indict-
ments against the Returning Board,
and with keeping Littletield concealed
in his room, lest he should give the
testimony in which he declared Ander-
son TO be in nocent of all knowledge of
the Vernon Parish returns. The AS
sistant Attorney General is said to have
been indicted for murder in his own
parish. One OF the chief witnesses
against Anderson is stamped as a ha-
bitual liar, another as a thief, and a
third as a fugitive from his nativetown
in Illinois. Altogether, j. Madison
Wells has resumed the offensive in an
exceedingly vigorous and Characters

The Choice i'm 1850.
From the N. Y, Tribune

tuc ~ litbNuf
A Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press telegrsphs that Blaine
is looming rapidly as the Republican
candidate in 1880. He says many Re.
publicaus who opposed the Senator's
nomination at Cincinnati now confess
their mistake and declare their purpose
to work for him in 1880. Old friends
and supporters of Grant declare that the
conditions which at one time seemed to
make third party imperative exist no
longer, and they now feel that the party
is strong enough to elect any OF its dis
tinguished leaders without the aid of
Grants name. Blaine is admitted b all
the prominent managers Of the party, tho
correspondent says, to represent, in an
eminent degree, the aggressive and pro-
gressive element in American politics,
and his selection would mean the perpetu-
alton of the Republican party, since he
possesses the peculiar skill, experience
and ability to exercise the civil authority
of the Government, safely, firmly and
effectively. 1t is also thought that under
Blaine's strong leadership the Ropubli-
can element in the South could be 80 en-
couragod and strengthened as to return
FIVE Southern States to the Republican
column.
