SILVER AT THE EAST.

Following are some extracts compiled by
THE Advance which is stout and vigor-
Gus advocate of the RECOMMENDATION of and a
larger issue of the currency.
The Weekly Times and Gazette Of Parkers-
burgh, W. Va, level headed, spirited Green
back Journal says:
John Sherman has been converted rom the
doctrine he preached ten years ago, that the
$50 bonds should be paid in lawful money,
and gone over to the gold bullionists, who say
that silver and greenbacks will do very well
for farmers and mechanics, but bondl lolders
will have nothing but gold 5ir Sherman
has been assumed to say thai the 4 per cent
bonds, made payable in coin, Ca only be re-
deemed i'll gold. He give us t:e encourag-
ing assurance that the country is fast APP
preaching hard pan, and the 500 er we reach
it the better. To hasten this Clio 1us consum-
nation, he tugs away at the screw of contrac-
ton, denounces the restoration of silver as re-
pudlatiOn, and while every month shows many
millions of loss by failures, AID adds thous-
ands to the great army o. ban4rupts and beg
gars, he smiles serenely upon the wreck, and
tells the bondholders of New York and Lon
don to fear nothing, for they hall have even
more than their pound OF iesE.
e The N. Y. Workingman's Journal says
Greenb&cks and Labor the Watchwords.
When the workingmen get a c ear idea of this
matter, they will rally around the Greenback
banner, and will vote for no man for any Of
flee that is not a Greenback man as well us
workingman. Greenbacks and Labor are the
watchwords Let these 60 hand and
protect each other, and there are good times
ahead for all the workingmen. The working
men all over the country should organize
Greenback and Labor clubs, support the Jour
nal, and work to secure the success of the
united Workingmen's and Greenback party.
Then we shall have honest money.
The Milton Beacon says:
If the wishes of the nIne hundred and nine
ty-nine out of every Thousand were consulted
some relief would be given to the universal
stagnation prevailing i'll every business
throughout the land. But no. we do not ex
pect it. The petition of the millions of labor
ers are passed by i'll silence, while a single

who have dared to raise their voices against
the wholesale robberies that have been perpe

Travellers who persist in carrying silver rather

highwaymcn that they do it at their peril for
he will withdraw his attentions altogether,
place them the blacklist and patronize a
better class of people. The wild ass of the
desert is told that if he doesn't travel faster
the Eastern rider vows that he'll get off and
90 afoot. The prison convict who objects TO
the labor of the treadmill is threatened with
liberty and the dubious prospect of having to

solemn spectacle this of Eastern capital chew
ing red pepper to spit in the eyes OF Western

''New York is a Gold State Silver and
Greenback hereses find no favor here" says
the New York World and right along comes
news Of the charter election i'll the town OF
Oswego. The Republicans and Democrats
supported one ticket against the Greenback
Labor Reformers and just managed to pull
trough on the general ticket. But in four out
of five wards the Greenback candidates for
trustees were elected by majorities ranging
from 3 to 38G. The new party also elected
the Supervisor, the Assessor and the Presl-

OF the injury of an old citizen by rather
serious accident, the Herald says:
Last week a gentleman named Swauger, of
Antelope Valley, while driving on the road
between this place and Allermays, ran over
stick of cord wood, and the horses III step
ping over it, turned it on end, and the end of
the stick striking the axle of the wagon over

the ground and breaking his leg. An Indian
who had also been riding in the wagon, but
who escaped without injury, ran Immediately
for assistance and succeeded III getting Irish
Johnny, who conveyed Mr. Swauger to a
place where his wounds could be properly
attended.

ARREST OF MAIL ROBBERS
BY the White Pine News Of Saturday we
are informed as follows:

BY the White Pine News Of Saturday we
are informed as follows:
On the evening Of the 23d Of last Noyem-
Der, as Woodruff & Ennor's stage, on the
route from Wells to Cherry Greek, was ap
preaching the latter town, it was stopped by
four masked men, and the passengers robbed
of $50. The mail bags were then cut open
and the registered packages carried off At that
time four men were arrested by the officers,
Doc. Bell and Nose Watkins being two of the
number; but on examination before Justice
Clayton, the evidence way insufficient to hold
them, and they were discharged. But Uncle
Sam was not satisfied with this proceeding,
and detectives were sent out to Query Greek
to work up the case and procure the necessary
evidence to bring the guilty parties to justice
We learn that one of these detectives entered
Cherry Greek on foot, his breaches patched
with gunny sacks, and his appearance gener-
ally indicating ''hard case He frequent
ed the saloons, danced at the hurdy-houses,
and made the acquaintance OF the rough ele-
ment of Cherrys newly acquired population,
and as he seemed to have coin plenty and to
dispense it freely, he became great favOrite
among the habitues of Cherry Greek S Clover
levels" But, suddenly a few mornings ago,
without word of farewell to his boon COM
panions, he lit out, to where, no one knew
But his sudden disappearance seems. to have
led certain parties to think that they had not
been entertaining can angel unawares, and
they too thought it best to take walk, IN
different directions. But the net was SO skill
fully set that no escspe was possible. Last
Wednesday morning George Wilson was
arrested here he stepped off the Cherry
Creek stage, and about the same time Doc
Bell was arrested in Eureka, and the ''Kid"
and another party were arrested at Wells for
the robbery of the mails above mentioned. 1t
is pretty certain that testimony enough has
been procured against the parties arrested to
secure a conviction, for Uucle Sans detec-
tives never do things by halves.

BoDIEwARDs.- matters and things be-
tween here and Bodie, and at that place and
Aurora, we are informed as follows by the
Aurora Herald of Saturday:
General 0. II. LAGRANGE, who returned
from Benton Thursday night, informs US that
he, in company with others, undertook to
make the trip from Benton to Lake District
OH snowshoes, but after proceeding some ten
or twelve miles concluded to postpone the
venture until the going becomes little better.
The snow is very deep and consists of layer
of -four snow, then layer of frozen, and
again layer of CONCEALED slush or ice. This
makes heavy travelling on snowshoes, and the
party did well not to attempt to press far
into the mountains. 1t is probable however,
that they would have kept on much farther
had not one of their number, Mr. Borland,
fallen and dislocated his shoulder, after which
accident it was decided to return.

SINGING BIRDS The Eureka Republican
has the following:
DR.. Terry, on his recent return from Paris,
brought with him some very interesting spec
linens of singing birds, consisting of cardinals
French canaries, and goldfnches. There is
something exceedingly foreign about these
little warblers and consequently very inter-
esting. They bear about the same relation
to the common singing pets of this country as
the gay Partisan does to the average Ameri-
can. The cardinals are especially gay and
Frenchy, and are great pets. When asked if
they are hungry, they reply very promptly,
''Oui," and with a pure accent. Hood says
''even the little children in France speak
French, and had he written of the present
day, might have added that the birds there
sing French too, There are some marked
variations in the songs of these little beau
ties from those of the birds reared in this
country.

GOV. PENNINGTON AT WASHINGTON,

| uONs tENNlNOl Al
The Washington Union of the Sth inst.
says:
Gov. John L. Pennington, of Dakota, is
at the National. The governor is urged for
the reappointment by the citizens Of that
territory, who have tested his qualities as All
executive during the past four years, and
are satisfied that his return is demanded
under any fair construction of civil service
reform. He is also backed by numerous
congressman from the west and south, az
we'll as by q record Of forty years consistent
devotion to the Union in North Carolina
previous to and including the war.
From the National Republican of the
same date we take the following:
Governor John L. Pennington, of Dako-
ia, is here looking after his re-appointment,
his term of Office having expired on the Isl
instant. The governor is strongly recon-
mended by citizens of the territory gener.
orally and senators and representatives
from the n%eighboripg states of Nebraska,
Iowa and Minnesota, as we'll as from Wis.
consin and the southern states. His record
been unexceptlenal and so salts.
factory to his constituents that they
demand his return in the interest
of civil service-reform. Besides this the
governor has claims upon the republican
party as a consistent southern %unionist,
based upon the fact that for forty years,
during and previous to the war, he lived in
North Carolina, during which time he
gained considerable prominence as the
leading union editor of the state. After the
war he served six years in the Alabama
state senate; was on the electoral ticket in
1872, and::received more votes than any other
candidate. His popularity in his new home
in the far west is due to his wide political
experience, as we'll as his sterling integrity
and acknowledged executive ability.
