must have to get to his oratorical stamping

handful of silver from the pile of his lucky
opponent Then he bolted out of the back

that the money WAS his own and was in the

as at the Spaulding cOurt-martial and the sub

THE ACQUITTAL OF WILLIAM B
CARR

In yesterdays dispatches from San Fran
cisco We find mention OF the acqnttal of Mr.
William 3. Carr from the charges preferred
against him by the hackers and accornplicea
Of the rogue Pinrey Abiding to this trial
the San Francisco TtnneS of Tuesday evening
says:
The trial of William g. Carr, charged with
Conspiracy 70 detraud the nited states by
means OF fraudulent navy pay certificates, be.
gan n the United States Circuit Court this
morning. The prosecution was represented
by United States District Attorney Teare and
his assistant, 4. Van Duzer, while Mr. Carr
form i the center OF a legal circle composed
OF William NJ Stewart, ". ". Foote and
Judge Lake. George Nj. Pinney was also in
court accompanied by Mes8rs. Mcclure and
Barbour, the two taking no part, yet man
lfestlng keen interest i'll the proceedings.
From the outset an ac4uttal OF the defendant
was foreshadOwed The jury was carclessly
accepted, not question being asked by either
side of any Juror and no challenges being
made. Mr. Teare made the opening state
ment, which was SO mild rs to alrnost give
ground for a motion to dismiss He reviewed
the navy pay certificate complication and the
trouble which sprang from it, mentioning the
defendants name only once, when he hoped
to connect Mr.. Carr with the matter, but was
not sure that he could, as he did not know
what the witnesses would testify to. He then
called ex- Navy Pay Inspector Spanlding, but
changed his mind and called T. w Burr.
President Of the Clay Street Bank, as the first
witness. He testified: Received this certif-
lcatc, to c. +. Higgins u Co, dated April
-, 1873, for S13, $40 %, as security for a
note of SO, 900 from George NJ Pinney.

OF the proceedings.
Thus ends as wicked and malignant pro
ceduro as ever was hatched by cabal OF utter
and uuhesitating rugues. The attack upon
Sargent and Page by Pinney and the Chronicle
was of part with this fight against Carr. In
some measure it was 4 ttle-ish affair. Pin-
ury aud his associates rled the waters in
which themselves were swimming in order TO
obscure their own viiencss They tried to
bltckm;u Carr, and failing IN that, to intim-
Idate him. They resounied their charges
against him as with the trUmpet-tone5 of
triumph. 1t is probable now that they, like
cravens and indicators that they are, are
sueing for terms. Time at last sets ali things

The Silver State not only takes a deep III
terest in the Indian situation but Is more than

following:

old hunting grounds and Iningling with those
Of their respective tribes who remained peace
able. The Snakes and Piutes who left the
Malheur Agency are again in that vicinity,
and the Bannocks are supposed to be going
east into Idaho. General Howard was re
ported yesterday on the road between Baker
City and Boise, and it was thought at head
quarters that the Indians were going east.
1t is probable that instead of remaining to-
gether until they are compelled to surrender,
they will scatter in different directions and re-
main i'll the mountains until they have oppor-
tunity to return to their tribes without dan
ger from the troops.
