Some cowardly sneak. who probably
had some gradge against the Railroad
Company. attempted to wreck a train a
few nights since on the Big Meadows,
west OF Lovelocks. Ties were placed
across the track and firmly imbedded
IN the ground, with the evident inten-
ton of throwing off the'engine and kill
ing. the engineer and fireman. Fortu-
nately it did not accomplish that pur-
pose. aud did-no greater damage than
breaking off the pilot. or "cow catcher
OF the locomotive The men, or rather
the fiends, who thus place distractions
on the railroad track and endanger the
lives OF everybody on the train, ought
to be swung up on the nearest tele.

A large proportion of the American
people are to day dying from the effect
of dyspepsia er~disorder of the liver.
The result of these diseases upon the
masses Of intelligent and valuable peo-
pie is most alarming. making life actu-
ally burden instead of a pleasant ex-
istence of enjoyment and usefulness as
it ought to be. There. is no good rea-
son for this, if you will only throw
aside prejudice and skepitcism, take
the advice of druggists and your
friends. aud try one bottle of Green

results in every case. You can buy a
sample bottle for ten cents to try.
Three doses viii relieve the worst case.

experiment. 1t has been tried for

ought to be repealed by the ensuing
Legislature without fail, and the

one, adopted. We are not far from
the mark when we say that at least
5000 of the voters of Kinds were
not assessed in 1877, and, conse~

THE SILVER BILL
Passes the Senate by More than {
Two thirds Vote

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The Sen
ate held an all,nighC session last
night, and the struggle was not
concluded till about 6 o'clock this
morning, when the Bland Silver
Bill, with the Senate Committees
amendment, and also further amen
ded on motion of Senator Booth,
was passed by vote of As to 81.
The words struck out of the original
bill were as follows:
"Any owner of Silver bullion may
deposit the same at any United
States coinage mint or assay Office,
to be coined into such dollars, for
his benefit, upon the same terms
and conditions as gold bulliOns is
deposited for coinage under existing
laws"
The following was inserted.
"ALd the Secretary of The Treas
ury is authorized AMI directed, out
of any money III the Treasury not
otherwise apprOpria' ed. to purchase,
from time to time, silver bullion at
the market price thereof, not less
than $4,000, 900 per month, nor more
than $4,0OO,O0O per month, and
cause the same to he coined INTO
such dollars. Aud any gain or
seigniorage arising from this coin
age shall he accounted for and paid
into the Treasury. as provided 1n>
der existing laws relating to the
subsidiary coinage; provided, that
The amount of money at any one
lime invested in sucn silver bullion,
exclusive of such resulting coin,
shall not exceed 50, 100000
The amendment offered by Mr..
Booth, and the only other one
adopted, WAS as follows:
"That any holder of coin authors
lied by this act may deposit the
same with the Treasurer, CT any
Assistant Treasury of the United
States, in sums not less than $40,
and issue thereof certificates of not
less than $40 each, corresponding
with the denominations of United
States notes. The coin deposited
for or representing certificates shall
be retained in the Treasury for the
payment of the same on demand

Gov. Hendricks on the Returning

Gov. Hendricks, in a speech at
indianapolis Oh the 2lst inst, said
that zone of the Louisiana crimin>
inaIs has been traced and commit
ted. The President and John Sher
man says he should not have been
been tiled. Why not His guilt
and that OF others is shown by the
verdict, it is Il high crime against
the nation and threatening the
stability of free institutions. What
are the relations between the Presi-
dent and Mr.. Sherman and the
accused, that uIhOrize or permit an
effort on their part to influence
judicial proceedings Ill State court
after d long and terrible contest
1t is settled that the State elected
of u State Legislature must be
free from military influence and
control, SO it must be understood
that the President and his Cabinet
cannot directly or Indirectly inter-
feIe with judicial proceedings under
State authority. State Courts must
be wholly free and independent of
Federal control, except where the
constitution aud laws give to the
Federal judiciary on appellate SUI
pervIsiOn. 1t is to be regretted that
acts developed on the trial are OF
such u character as TO create an
anxiety OIL the part of the president
and any OF his cabinet, but they
cannot avoid the effect upon the
public mind OF AN explanation of
that anxiety, and unseemipg de-
nunciation of State authorities.
Whilst it is true that the title OF
Mr.. Hayes to Office as President
and Mr.. Wheeler to the Office of
Vice President has been settled
under the solemn forms of the law,
and whilst it is our duty i'll my
Judgement to recognize the title,
because it is ritual OF the public
stability and tranquility to do so it
is still none the less true that All
duty demands that fit
ting punishment should be visited
upon the criminals in the south
whose crime that judy
ment was obtained. Because the
is final and conclusive
forms no reason why immunity
should be secured to the Grimm.
through whose perjury it was Oh
tanned. If this is Tue of a simple
property Judgment rendered in a
court of law which is more true of
crime against the Sever
aign of nation. Tile very fact
hat it was successful furnishes the
strongest reason why the cOndign

The Eastern Situation.

we think it less threatening sim
ply because considerable progress
has been made toward bringing the
British and Russian forces into the
same neighborlioOd without any
conflict yet. Turkey modified her
opposition to the passage of the
British feet into a protest, and Rus
STA has offered no opposition so far,
and made no threat of offering
violent resistance even to tue moor
ing of the fleet at the wharves of
Constantinople. THIS adJOurns the
danger of conflict to the conduct
Of the forces of the two powers
while actually confronting each
other at that city. There is no rea
son to doubt that they will receive
strict instructions to avoid cons
tlict; and that the utmost efforts of
other powers will be used to prevent
it. But it is apparent that Great
Britain has committed an act of
hostility towards Turkey by the in>
vasion of her waters and territory,
and that if the latter was in a con
dition TO resent it, there would be
trouble. The kick which England
administers to the dying lion is the
''urkindest cut of all"
The first stage of danger being
thus safely passed, we are justified
in regarding the prospect of peace
as frightening, though the difficul~
ties ahead are yet serious.
