AUSTIN, October /.
The Manhattan Company shipped last

VIRGINIA CRY, Sept. 80.
The experts who visited the Sierra Ne
vada to-day, all tell the same story. The
ore in the face of the vein at the foot of the
incline is richer than at the end of the H.
foot drift on the 2100 level. 1t is richer
than any ever found on the Comstock.
In the Ophir the crosscut from the 2100
level has encountered good ore at a point
Is, or at least IL feet, west Of where it was
expected.
Patton, who was arrested to-day for
refusing John Kelly admission to the
Ophir, will be tried at 10 O'Clock tomorrow.
There is much interest felt. Kelly has the
required number of shares. Patton holds
that his order from the Court was dated on
the 10th instead of the 30th. Kelly claims
the whole thing was a piece Of spite work,
in retaliation for his helping to defeat the
Bonanza ticket in the primaries.

Last week there were sales a~ggregating
800 to 400 tons, although we knew that
they had been made, yet we we're unable
to learn particulars. The price at which this
lead sold is still kept private. There have
beer this week $50 ons sold at 3ssc. The
market closed at 3.37h @3.40c. The
steadily increasing stocks and continued
large production are not conducive to the
great advance that some Of the Western
producers said would take place when the
resources of the Leadville district were
truly known. Tho article has certainly
had no enemies for a long time, and strong
bull efforts have been put forward, but all
to no avail. AS we predicted, the price OF
lead appears doomed to keep within close
range Of the export price.
The shipments Of lead from Great
Britain to China for the first eight
months Of 1878 were 1885 tons,
against 10, 149 tons for the like period Of
1877. The shipments to Japan for the
same period were 854 and 1884 tons, re.

HOW GOV. BRADLEY Is TO BE
FOUGHT.


Tho Republican papers Of the State Of
Nevada have outlined the kind Of a CAM
paign they intend to make against Govern
or Bradley for reelection. They will ac-
euse him OF ignorance-being neither a
speaker, writer, or learned in the science
Of government, but simply an old cattle
breeder, whose craftsmanship may be
summed in one word-stubbornness. II
this is the best fight they can make against
old Broadhorns, then, indeed, are they
weak in campaign ammunition, and are
but preparing themselves for inevitable
defeat. Bradley has been twice elected
Governor Of Nevada, and the people Of the
State know his educational and intellectual
range to a dot. They don't gamble on him
as q statesman or an orator, but they stake
their whole pile on his answering hon.
.esty and entire devotion to the welfare
- the State and its people. They have
tried him two terms, and the longer he
serves the better they like him. They are
not on q very keen hunt after talent, but
they do appreciate honesty, and they do
know that the old man reaches the maxi
mum standard. Under Bradley's admins
tration Nevada's treasury has emerged
from bankruptcy to q solyency that is Q
matter Of State pride. Economy and safety
have ruled in the finances, and a faithful
accounting has been made Of the revenues
ct the State. The people have felt a con-
Adenoe through all the time Of his admin
istrat!on thsta man Of power and honesty
was et the helm, and they do not propose
70 let him 90 now that they are able to Sc
cure his services for another term. Hi
o1eotion il certain. it Is . mere question Of
majority. which his political opponents
will only increase by the kind Of warfare
they have entered upon.

Heading A leading editorial article as
above, the Sileer State, not hitherto e.
neciallv jealous in its support Of Mr.. Deal
has the following
w. T., F, Deal, a prominent and popular
i.vver ~ Storey county, was nominated
Tor CONGRESSMAN at the Democratic State
ranvenfion by reclamation. AS Acting
fruItrd States Attorney in the absence OF
will Campbell, his name has been con-
nected with the Indictment and arrest OF
.everal workingmen at U~nionvillc, in this
ronnty in 1869, for alleged violation OF
the Burlingame treaty. The feeling en-
gendered against all the Federal officials
who were instrumental or suspected OF
being instrumental, in procuring these IN
dietments was intense at the time,
and is not dead yet. 1t extended to
every mining camp in the state n
the Miners Union OF Storey county, which
was then endeavoring to prevent the en-
ployment Of Chinese on the Virginia and
Truckee Railroad within the limits OF Gold
Hill and Virginia City, took an active in
terest in the affair, Workingmen generally
throughout the State swore vengeance
against officers of the United States DIS
trict Cont. and since r. NJ. Daggett, then
CLERK OF the Ooutt uuu ~ u ehS
tor;aI Enterprise, and W. E. f. Deal, then,
as stated. acting United States Attorney,
have been brought into prominence as
candidates for office, their connection with
the matter has been generally discussed.
This discussion has resulted in the COM
plete yindication of Mr.. Deal from all
suspicious that he, as the legal adviser of
the United States Court, counseled the
Grand Jury to indict the w~orkingmen,
and proves that he stated in open Court
that in his opinion no crime had been
committed against the United States. He
is the choice OF the Miners Unions, ana
was placed in nomination by men on
nected with these organizations, and will
receive their united support for Congress
man from Nevada. Every workingman in
the State who is opposed to coolieism can
conscientiously support him for the posi-
ton to which he aspires, and feel assured
that with voice and vote he will do all in
his power as a Rep, sentative OF Nevada,
in the Congress of the United States, to
abrogate the treaty which, as ratified by
Republicans, accord to Chinese all the
rights and privileges Of white men who
conn to the United States to seek homes
for themselves and families. For the
opinions Of his opponent, Mr.. Daggett, on
this vital question. we refer to the pages OF
the Territorial Enterprise, Of which for
years he has been editor-in-chief.

DEFINES HIS POSITION.

M. Fred Hart of the Rereile denies
he has any idea Of tumbiing into the arms
Of the Democracy, We thought there
was hope for him, but it seems that he is
determined to damn his political soul on
the radical line. Here is what he says for
himself and the ReUeiHe
Choosing to put its own Interpretation
on some remarks Of this paper, the Eureka
Sentinel assumes that the Repeale intends
to fall into the arms of the Democracy.
First Of all, the ReUeiLe is not a partisan
paper ; but were it 10 choose sides it would
not select the Democratic. The personal
political affiliations of the editor Of the
Reueille are Republican, with the reserved
right to denounce what he deems to be
wrong in that party and jump either the
whole ticket or individual candidates for
cause. We hold the principles Of the Re-
publican party as dear as any man can,
but when we see that party grasped by the
throat and taken possession of by a great
naoneyed and tyrannical power, as it has
been in Nevada, we hold that fealty to it
under such circumstances is abject
slavery.

A DEFICIENCY OF s5~3s,43s.
A. H,s.. WDu.-
An Opium Bonanza.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 1.
This afternoon the Bank Commissioner
| signed their report on the affairs OF the
| French Savings Bank. They say the in
vestigation disclosed discroditable prac-
tees in the management Of the bank.
Loans had been made on insufficient Sc
c~urities the books of the institution did
not always show the real debtor, and there
was evidently great want of diligence on
the part Of the Directors. 1t was only by
examination of all the papers hat the facts
were revealed. The report relates to the
facts set forth concerning Mr.. Mahe's loans.
They found the bank to be a mutual insti-
tuition. There is a reserve fund of $751;
433, and a building fund Of 81, 304, max
ing q total of S265, 1913, which, deducted
from SS04,177, the amount of the de-
fciency, leaves a net loss, or a de-
iciency of 1888, 43S. They wish it
to be understood that the affairs
of the bank may not be even favorable,
and that they were unanimously in favor
OF its going into liquidation. If vigorous
measures had been taken by the bank
officers, these defalcations Of Mr.. Nah @
might have been discovered.
The Custom-house inspectors lighted on a
small opium bonanza yesterday, in a wagon
used to transport the mails from the
steamer City of Peking. There had been
struggled into it a package containing 800
tins of opium, the whole representing
about 1877 pounds. Joseph Hess, the man
in charge Of the package, was arrested for
smugglir G, and required to give bonds to
answer the charge.
