NO HOPE FOR BEN. WADE

NEW CLEANS, Feb. 10.
Louis Monplaiser and James Prince,
coIored jurors IN the Anderson trial,
state to responsible parties that their
verdict ofguilty with a recommendation
to the mercy of the Court was given
under tile impression that this was
tantamount to an acquittal, and they
were so informed by other Jurors.
Both are extremely young men,
neither over % years, and 1t Is clalmed
that Prince is disqualified as a juror,
having been born in 1858. Anderson
has a dispatch signed by John Sher-
man, Stanley Matthews, Garfield, Hale
and Ditty, earnestly protesting his IN
nocence of any fraud, and de%nouncing
his trial and conviction as an exhibit
ton OF bitter sectional feeling and par
tisanship. Ii.

Mrs. Chisholm left here a few days

she will appear as n witness against

Secretary Sherman Thinks the
Conviction of Anderson a
Great Outrage
Banking and Currency.

WASHINGTON. Feb. IL.

WASHINGTON, Feb. II.
Secretary Sherman, being asked If it
was true that he, Matthews, Garfield,
Hale and White. had sem a dispatch
to Anderson, said hat it was true, and,
as that fact had been made public, he
would furnish a copy of the dispatch,
and they meant all they said. Sher.
man then stated hat he regarded the
arrest, trial and conviction of Ander-
son as a great outrage, under color ard
forms of the laws. Anderson was not
indicted. The Grand Jury had refused
to indict him. The proceedings against
him is called an information, and il
expressly prohibited in cases OF felony
by the Constitution of the United
States and of most of the States, but it
is provided for by the law of Louisi-
ana. The information was signed and
filed by a man who was an officer of
the White League, and identified with
all the numerous crimes of that or
ganization. The Judge who tried the
case is a public defaulter for over $780,
600. When Anderson was arrested he
was Acting Collector for the port of
New Orleans, and the arrest was made
while he was i'll the discharge of his
duty at the Custom House, which
stands, as Mr.. Sherman thinks, on
ground under the sole jurisdiction Of
the United States, by cession from
Louisiana. He was hurried to prison,
required to give excessive bail. and.
failing to do so, was kept in custody,
denied all postponement, forced to
trial, convicted. and is now held tor
sentence without the benefit of bail; a
jury was picked to convict; the panel
had been carefully selected, almost ex-
clusively of one political party and one
race. Their examination, as called,
showed the deepest and strongest
prejudice against the defendant, and,
in any tribunal. he (Sherman) knew
that nearly every one would have
been rejected on his oath; aud yet,
though challenged, they we're sworn
in. With such a jury, l am prepared
to believe the story telegraphed this
morning, that two colored jurors were
tricked into agreeing to this verdict by

WORKING U THEIR TAXES.-A
Virginia man has obtained a patent for
an invention which he fondly hopes
will prove a formidable rival to the
Moife!t bell-punch for use in the sa-
looms. His plan, as set forth in the
Virginia papers, is that the State Aud
itor shall have prepared a book OF
coupons, to he sold to all har-rooms
and liquor dealers generally. When
the dealer sells a drink the consumer
receives "A coupon, which entities him
to receive from the State, in payment
OF his taxes, one cent. If two drinks
are to he paid for, he receives "a coupon
printed on any paper, good for two
cents. If five drinks, a blue paper,
good for five cents. This seems TO be
an admirable arrangement for the pro-
motion of drinking. 1t would un-
doubleday be the patriots duty to
drink all he can, and, like a little Sun
day School boy, get a blue ticket at
least at every setting. Not only does
the State enjoy an income from the tax
on drinks, but a man who drinks has a
reasonable chance of paying off his
taxes with the orange and blue cou
pons. OF course the biggest tax-pay-
ers will have to do the most drinking
to balance their accounts with the State,
and the saloons will he perpelually
crowded with men working out their
taxes.-Lyon County Times.

THE METROPOLIS "ACClDENr.'


By degrees, as we anticipated, the
truth is coming out about this terrible
disaster, and as the Information accu-
mulates the impression will deepen on
the public mind that one hundred
precious lives have been sacrificed to
a cruel and fatal economy on the part
of those who chartered the ship; to
the neglect of proper warnings of the
storms coming, and to the gross in
efficiency of the life-saving (?) crews
on the Currituck beach. The state.
ments made by some of the surviving
crew and passengers clearly point to
the unseaworthiness of the ship. One
of her officers states that she left port
with a prospect of fine weather, but
that the storm struck her before she
was ten hours at sea. Many of the
witnesses speak of the utter stupidity
and inefilciency of the ~life-saving
crews, who seemed to be entirely un-
equal to the emergency. The station
was not supplied with the proper
means Of throwing a line to the wreck,
and it is clear the crew were too COW
ardly to man the surf boat, which one
of the officers of the Metropolis claims
could have been used with effect to
rescue the drowning men from the
wreck. On every hand there is moth
ing but the evidence Of a monstrous
crime against humanity.

OUTSIDE CAMPS.

There seems to be an impression
that there is a drawing away from
Comstock shares and a disposition to
search for outside mines. Whether
this be true or not, We do not know,
but certainly the outside districts of
the State were never so full OF promise
before. From almost every camp there
is jubilant news. The Richmond and
Eureka Consolidated mines, the To-
nanza of Eureka, are next in agn
tude to our own, while a project has
Just been commenced to tunnel Pros
pect mountain. in the same district,
the crest of which is full OF rich veins.
The flow of bullion from that camp
is steady and strong, and all accounts
oncur in the prediction that it will in
crease rather than diminish for years
to come. Phoebe, which has had a
black eye for years, is GINNING again
into ranks as a bullion producing dis
trict. The Alps and Day mines are
full OF promise, while the indications
point to profits again. within a few
months, III the old Raymond d Ely.
In forsaken Schell Creek "A great mine
has been uncovered within a month.
In Cherry Creek the pertnanency OF
the country is being guaranteed by
large weekly shipments Of balloon.
Ward is n of the richest districts in
the State. In White Pine a deep tun-
mel is searching for golden secrets in
the depths of Treasure Hill. Tybo is
yielding better than ever. In Austin
the steady flow of bullion is something
marvellous III mining. Surely, II men
with money desire to invest III mines,
they certainly havea wide field to Select
from. Generally, when one district is
yielding, others are going into a de-
cline; but every camp II the Sia
seems to be lust now on It's good be
havior, and making an outlook so
favorable that it is hard To decide which

THE DEVIL OF THE DADDIEs.

Many pulpits and some newspapers
have lately handled as a topic of daily
interest to the people that unpleas-
ant possibility OF an eternal existence
commonly known as hell. They
have not added any substantial facts
in the nature of latter particulars to
what was known before in common
repute; but they have performed a
good service in exhibiting the state of
opinion and faith on this important
feature in all religious systems. "And
they that have done good shall 90
into life everlasting, and they that
have done evil into everlasting fire."
So says the Athanasiau creed, and so
have said substantially all creeds ever
formulated by people who believe in
another life; and a theological struc-
ture that did not promise heaven TO
the good, and to the other sort threaten
hell or its equivalent. would be less
than half made up. 1t is like a sys-
tenn of criminal law without any of
the paraphernalia of pains and penal
ties. But various ages have had very
different conceptions of what was
proper in the nature of pains and
penalties to be inflicted in this life
for violations of human law, and they
have differed at least equally in their
conceptions of the future fate of the
v~iolators Of divine law. 1t is the in
structive part of the recent utterances
on this subject that they show the
opinion and faith of this generation
to be very unlike those of the past
snd the Immediately previous gen.
erations. People are not at all
disposed to believe in the devil
of the daddies, nor in the estab-
Iishment of which he was the recog-
nized head. Within a very few years
the robust faith of the public in hell
fire, aggravated with birthstone, was
such that doubt on the subject was
exceedingly rare; yet now it seems
as hard to find a man who will dis
tinctly declare his faith in all that as it
was formerly to find n who would
openly declare his doubts. People
even who are ready to accept the gen.
eral conception, will revolt at the
birthstone, or some other material
feature. Here, as everywhere, they
insist upon "modern improvements"
This is of value as indicating the
change in opinion, and exhibits the
danger of dogmas in religion. As
written constitutions, which are ex-
pressions of the political agreements
and needs of one age, must inevitably
be amended under the influence of po-
litical changes in another age or perish
altogether, so an ecclesiastical machin-
cry must pass out of the regions of
popular faith if its existence depends
upon definitions and dogmas that are
stationary in the presence of an in
creasing popular intelligence. All this
is of course only in the region of what
people believe about hell, and does not
touch what may be the fact. People
cannot believe in hell as the theologi-
ans have defined it, but that does not
prove its non-existence, for the theolo-
gians may have described it inaccur-
ately.
