IT IS A SURPRISE to people on both sides Of
the Atlantic that the premium on gold has de.
creased since the passage of the silver bill by
tho senate and that United States bonds have
improved both in the London and New York
markets. The silver bill, us passed by the Sen.
ate Is so much less Objectionable than the orig
inal BLAND bill that II Is greviOus disappoint-
ment to the silver men. The fact that they
are disappointed is what has improved
American bonds. If they were to be utterly
disappointed by the defeat Of the silver bill
the premium on gold would disappear in few
weeks.-BdHimOrs Gazette.
THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN has in
sisted from the first introduction of this
measure in Congress what any mind not
blinded by prejudice could have seen-that
its passage to law would bring gold, silver,
and greenbacks upon n common platform of
valuation, and that resumption would be
made easy and speedily follow. Those who
have dealt in bugaboos to Brighten the peo-
pie have taken the other side. Their the
DRY has exploded already.

Editor National Republican:
One would suppose that this subject Is worn
out or become chronically trite; but 1t is not
so. The heading of an advertisement with
these words would draw and betray many
reader into its pcrusal. Therefore, | expect
to be the first thing read this morning in these
columns, and wish to make my first sugges-
ton on the subject No one can possibly i'm
agine himself more neglected or more uniustIy
treated in this service and by former boards of
examiners than have been; and perhaps
could tell some remarkably arbitrary and con-
nicting rulings to prove that personal friends
and family relatives affected results. But
with charity for the ''old COards" and hopes
for tho new, simply wish to make one sug-
gcstiOn, presumlng that they or 1t (the board)
desire to do the proper thing, and think the
gentlemen are above rcproach. To ascertain
the merits, capacity, efficiency, and fidelity OF
those holding civil service positions and re-
warding them accordingly by promotion
should be the object of this board. II a man
| by experience and practice can do the same
amount of work in two days now that it took
| him two weeks to perform when n novice, it
seems to me that efficiency can best be tested
| by ascertaining first what work he does now
and how long ho has been doing IL compare
| this with what green hand could perform in
the same time, aud, with the suggestion OF a
fair chief of division over him, sufficient can
| be learned in few minutes ~ determine the
matter.
For two months past the clerks, or some OF
them, in the Treasury have been required to
keep daily an account Of tho work performed
By them. Now, in the competitive examina-
tion we are promised what an eminontly
proper thing It would be to have the Chief OF
| Division sent for by the board, with the daily
| labor reports of his clerks, and after u
thorough examination into the character OF
the work, with his explanations they could
not fail to do justice
| Some persons are so constituted that they
would bu brilliant before competitive exam
nation and never show any talent afterward,
while others who, from the timidity Of theil
nerves, would make failure in competition
when they would on other occasions prove
good aud competent clerks. BEN.

ONE Of the recent mile-stones set up to
indicate the march of civilization was the
pitiful show the Congress of Beauty opened
In New York city. 1t has come to- grief
early Day before yesterday when the 100
women who had been on exhibition went
for their stipend it was discovered that the
manager had flown, and their money was
not forthcoming. The Express says: "Thc
whole exhibition has been degrading and
disgraceh,l from its inception, but it is al
most impossible not to feel some sorrow fol-
these unfortunate women whose dire neces-
sty drove them 10 the cxhihition of them
selves There was not much beauty among
the starved, pinchcd faces that hung around
the Office, but there should be some means
Of forcing the manager to pay them the
paltry sum due. 1t was hardly earned"

THEORIES ABOUT THE coMsTOcK.

Mr.. r. D. Linstadt, German mining
engineer Of long experience in the silver
mines of Mexico and Peru. as we'll as
in his native country, says the Virginia
Chronicle, has been making careful
examination of the Comstock mines. AS
. result Of bis Investigations Mr.. Lin
stadt, declares that, strictly speaking,
there is no Comstock lode, but simply q
mineral belt of siiver-bearinR rock, in
almos. any part of which paying deposits
Of ore are liable to be found. He says
this mineral belt lies between the syenite
and country rock ON the west and the
traohyte forming the country rock on the
east, and is q broad channel filled with
q mixture of quartz, CLAY and prophyry.
known as "vein matter" and in places
where there is little clay or quartz as
"vsin porphyry." This whole belt is
mineral bearing and in exploring 1t de-
posts of ore are liable to be encountered.
he says il anything 10 called the Com.
stock il should be this whole belt, as
the whole belt is q channel Of gangue.
In Peru he had seen similar silver belts.
In them some silver can be found almost
anywhere, bat the big deposits must be
patiently explored for, and are "juss
where you find them. like plu ms in
pudding" The views of Mr.. Linstad'
corresponds with those expressed years
ago by Mr.. Philip Deideshemer, one OF
the most accomplished mining experts
Of the Comstock. Mr.. LinstAdt COM
psrss the Comstock gangue to q pudding
and the ore bodies to plums. Mr..
Deideshsimer compares the one to
river and the others to islands scattered
here and there, with nothing OUTLYING
to guide the miner to them.
