An e~xoeIIen, Appointment.

A Geographic dispatch states that
Col. LID. 1ngersoll, the well known
author and journalist, has been appoint
ed Librarian for the War Department
at Washington. Secretary McCrary
recognizing his merits as a man, a
journalist and an advocate of Republi-
can principles, rendered him the ap-
pointment without solicitation or i'm
portunities on the Colonel's part or that
Of any Of his friends. vCol. Ingersoll is
a native Of Indiana, practiced law in
that State in early life, and afterwards
removed to Iowa, where, for more than
a quarter of a century he was engaged
in the newspaper business. For some
years past he has resided in Washing
ton City during which time he wrote
several books among which were, s.Iowa
and the Rebellion;'' "Stanley and Liv-
ingston," and "The Life and Times
Of Horace Greeley" And, by the way,
this is the only life of the "White
Coated Philosopher" which has ever
been written. Col. Ingersoll's effort
was so complete a success that no other
author has been found who ~conceives
that more can be said or stated in an
ADLER than is embraced in the
biography written by Col. Ingersoll.
The new Librarian is a first cousin
to "Pope Bob'' Ingersoll; Eben q. In
gersoll, the successor 10 Owen Lovejoy
in Congress, as also n relative of the
acknowledgements who have shed
the lustre Of their talents both at the
bar and in the pulpit. We congratu-
late Secretary of War McCrary upon
the excellent Judgment he has exhibited
by making the appointments question.

He also made report on an ordinance
relating to the proposed increase of the
salary of the Chief of the fire depart
ment. He made a verbal report stating
at considerable length, that it was the
unanimous opinion of the community
that the pay of the Chief at the present
time was fully commensurate with the
amount Of work performed by him, and
unless some additional duties were as
signed him, they were opposed to any
increase of wages. He suggested, how
ever, that if, upon investigation, it was
found that the present Chief, Mr.. Wald-
raven, was competent to manage the
Durant steamer, that he be assigned
this additional duty and his pay increas-
ed to the sum set forth in the pro-
posed ordinance. The whole matter
was then referred back to the commit

Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1878-01-26

Sir Stafford reminded the House that he ex-
pected the first night to know the terms of
peace within two days A week had elapsed
and not only were the Government not in pos
session of the terms of peace, but considerable
Russian forces were still advancing, and the
Government think they cannot longer delay
the proposal.
In the House Of Lords, Lord BeacOnstield,
III response to a question by the Duke of Ar
9yle, spoke in the same strain rs Sir Stafford
Nor5hcoate, and distinctly said England would
not be dictated to by any other Power.
An informal Cabinet council was held in
Parliament House tonight Great excite
ment prevails. The report of the resignation
of the Earl of Carnavon is not confirmed.
1t is variosly estimated that the Govern
ment will demand supplementary supplies to
theamount of from 60 900 600 to &c, 900, 600
1t is considered still ~ossible that should
Russias terms prove satisfactory a vote will
not be demanded Many Liberals express the
opinion that the affair is a mere brag to force
Russia's hand, but they will decide whether
to oppose the vote or not when they have the
reasons the Government adduces on Monday.

THE BONANZA COMPROMISE BILL

!nasnluch as there has been a good deal of
illconsidered talk i'll all sorts of ways and
places about the so called Bonanza Comprom-
se Bill of last winter, (Which passed both
houses Of the Legislature and was vetoed by
the Governor), we reproduce the same from
the records in the office of the Secretary of
State. The copy from which this is printed
was taken from the enrolled bill on file i'll the
>ecretarys Office and not from the pri lted
lill which, in one way and another was ;ub-
iected to amendments. We are quite sure
that this bill will be read with interest by
such readers of the MORNING APPEAL as are
interested in the IL ,tors of discussion lately
involved in the controversy over Mr.. Hobart's
proposition TO cOnVorc an extra session of the
Legislature to adjust the finances of the s cate
and reduce the present rate of taxation. By
comparing this bill with the mining tax law
it now stands, the leader vii be enabled to
detect the nature and extent of the "com-
promise proposed by the vetoed bill. In
this connection the editor desires to acknOwl-
edge his obligations t. Secretary Minor for his

TELEGRAPHIC SUMMARY.

congressman Page, Davis and Luttrell have
ton and Labor, to whom is referred the Chi
nese Question Mr.. Page presented the case
in terse, effective speech in which he ingeni
ously likened the efforts to restrict Chinese
immigration as a preventive of cheap labor. to
the protective tariff laws, whose object is to
protect American industry DR.. Loring who
has figured so many years as rather emo
tional politician in Massachusetts, and who is
a member of the said Committee took all ~
ent by surprise by expressing his sympathy
with the movement to exclude people who,
during their nearly thirty years of residence
in this country have never assimilated with
our people or discovered any interest in our
institutions. Davis and Luttrell also made
speeches, and the impression seems to be that
the Committee will report favorably upon the
bill by whose terms it IS thought the Chinese
will be discouraged from further immigration
to our shores.
The House Committee on Military affa'~
have agreed to report bill restoring to IS
rank, Surgeon General Hammond, who was

We do not believe that Britain ill engage in

us that she is strangely tardy n her move
ments. The dead of winter is not the best
time TO attack the Northern Bear Moreover,
Russia will not be without substantial allies
if England does choose to take up arms
against the Gar. The relations between the
German and Russian Empires are of the most
cordial nature and Bismarck will not stand
aloof from a war which is to disturb the
peace of Europe When the conflict between
Russia and Turkey began, it was a general
and very common prediction that the war
would In time become a g. eral one. We
are disposed now, as we have been, I along,
to doubt the coming OF this ;reful calamity.
At all events, we do not ! 'lieve that the
peace Of Western Europe will 0e / coken by
any immediate participation of England in
the Eastern Question.

will be the effect Of Crockers proposition 1t

says they are. Their families ar suffering
says somebody. Now here is a piece Of work

n A WEALTHY MIsER's DEATH-Thc
Cincinnati Enquirer .ot Sunday publish
es a remarkable story of the life OF Jer-
ry Tullis. of Cincinnati, who died Fri.
day night from sickness caused by lack
OF food aud by seit-neglect and exposure,
Tullis was worth s2,O00,0OO or s3,OOO,,
900 in real estate, bonds, etc, most OF
which he had accumulated by extreme
economy and close but strictly honest
dealings. He owned large amount Of
property in Cincinnati, Chicago and 81.
Louis; was the heaviest land owner in
Batter, wealthy county adjoining
Hamilton, and owned about two hun
dred thousand acres of land in Iowa
and Missouri. He was very peculiar in
his habits, buying his clothes only at
secuud hand and living at cheap restsr
rants. He had beer i'll for some time
before his death, but refused to employ
a physician on account or expenses.
He was a man Of fair education, and
had studied law with Mr.. Carey, Of Gin
cinnati, in order to fit himself to attend
TO his business and save attorneys fees.
He was very eccentric aud self denying
in his habits, avoiding society, living in
a wretched, dirty room in an obscure
alley, or in log hut on one of his
numerous farms; dressing wreteheday,
having the appearance OF a third rate
tramp. a He was unmarried aud few
friends or relatives. He remarked
shortly before his death that he cared
little what become of his property.rex-
cept that be hoped those who got it
would enjoy spending it as much as he
did its accumulation. srsfo5 lra
