The Kautz Court Martial.

OMAHA, ATril 30.-One of the most important courts martial since the close of the war, will be held in the parlors of the Grand Central Hotel, in this city, tomorrow, being the trial of Gen. eral A. V. Kautz, recently commanding the Department of Arizona. The prin- cipal charge against the defendant is that he violated the Army regulation forbidding an officer writing or fur nishing for publication any matter regarding military movements, orders, officers, etc. The trial is attracting considerable attention, especially in military circles, both on account of the high rank of the officers composing the Court and by reason of the peculiar nature of the charges against the de- fendant. IL is the first time in the history of this country in which the question has arisen whether an officer has a right to impugn the motives of his superior, as expressed in official papers.
 OMAHA, May 3.-At the Kautz court martial today the defendant, Gen. eral Kautz, offered special plea that the charges did not constitute a military offense. Court overruled the plea. Kautz then entered plea of not guilty. Taking of testimony begun.

 WASHINGTON, May 3.-The Post says the present arrangement is for Clarkson N. Potter to introduce in the House oD Monday, a resolution of inyestiga- ton into the Presidential election. The resolution will be accompanied by the original documents, comprising the recent statements of McLin and Dennis. It is proposed to have the resolutions SD drawn as to cover the alleged frauds in Louisiana, and, in this connection there will be submitted some sworn affidaviis of persons con- nectcd with the Returning Board, which have been recently prepared, but have been withheld from the pub lie until the whole subject could be brought before the House. Certain Democrats intimate that these docu- ments will create sensation, and not fall flat like the McLin and Dennis statement.
 NEW YORK, May 2.-A Treasury officer mentioned today a report that secret negotiations have been for some time on foot for the enlistment of a crops of five or six thousand Irish soldiers to be sent to Russia for service against England, and it was this de tective's belief, that the Cinbria would take as return passengers, part of this force. Inquiry shows that such en- listment would not be in violation of law while peace continues, as the men would probably ship as laborers for public works.

We understand that s. B. Sepur.
superintendent Of the Succor Mill

friends. and consented to the use
Of his name before the Democratic
Convention of Storey county, as

Throughout Storey. Lyon, Ormsby

ORR MOTIVES.

We do not believe that the world
is growing worse, but we do believe
that It is yearly growing more sus.
p:cious and inclined to question the
motive of every act, word and deed.
If Mr.. Bodkins gives an hundred
dollars toward charitable fund. or
neighbor Hodgins sends a load of
wood to the widow Brown, or gives
. little silver to that unfortunate
wcman's children, Deishboy Jones 10
sure they are not doing it for nothing.
II Daniels, Scorum or Jasper. who
are prominent in politics, attend an
Irish, German or a Scotch picnic.
OF course they are trying 10 catch the
vote Of that nationality. Nothing
can be done disiuterestedly, it is
held, and there are people who are
ready TO question the motive of every
act.
Nor are newspaper men exempt
from this inquisi;orial questioning of
motives. Necessarily assuming a
position OF every subiecs Of public
inierest, and every subject having two
or more sides With its champions and
defenders, they cannot avoid the ami
mostly Of those who differ with them
in opirion; or if, perchance. public
safety demands an exposure irju-
rious to some mans business inter
ests, be and bis friends are ever ready
to question the motive which prompt
ed the exposure.
We desire it to be distinctly under
stood that We publish The LYON
COUNTY TINES as men engage in any
other professional or industrial pur-
suit, to-wii: for the pecunizry reward
we shall reap, the result of our hon-
est toll. But we shall publish nei-
ther a blackmail nor a sell-oul paper.
We shall quietly and dispassionately
examine into every question which
engages public attention or affects
The public veal, assume the cause
Of right and justice as we shall IN
1erstand it, and battle fearlessIy in
their defense regardless of the re.
marks or opinions OF others.
We dp not pretend TO be better

the truth ofthe axiom. :. Every man

BRADLEY AND THE THIRD
TERN.

The Democratic papers of Nevada
are not unit ON the opposition to
third term, as far as State and county
Offices are concerned. While the
Virginia Chronicle and Eureka Sen
tinei oppose the third term business
as abhorrent to the Democratic party.
the Tuscarora Times Review and
Winnemucca Silver State entertain
entirely different views, and they
seem TO have the best Of the argu-
ment. Here is what the Times-R Re-
view Of the 9Th instant says:
/ If Bradley is the only Democrat
who can be elected it strikes US that
The Democracy of this State, instead
Of being opposed, is decidedly in IA
vor Of the third term principle, or
else his record is SO unobjectionable
that the people are willing to make
an exception in bis case, considering
the precedent lesser evil than los
ing the services Of public servant
who has proven himself so faithful
to the interests of these who placed
him in power. II may be eiiheE one
or the other Of these propositions,
but in all probability it is little Of
both. The rank and file
Of the party attach no importance
whatever to the cry which has been
raised against the third term, as APP
piled to any State or county Office.
They regard il as too absurd for the
serious consideration OF sensible men,
and they are right.
The Silver State of the 7th instant
takes still firner stand. These pa
pers, we presume, reflect the prevail
ing opinion in their respective local
tiles, and il is thus evident that
Bradley is the popular candidate in
I" the Great East" II he receives the
Democratic nopination be will prove
a most formidable rival for any op.
ponent. It therefore, behooves the
Republicans to put their strongest
man in the field against him. And
It is hardly necessary to add that that
man must not be tainted with undue
friendship for the Central Pacific
I Railroad Company.

fFron the Enterprise. August ST
The Lyon COUNTY TINES advocates
the construction of branch to the
Sutro tunnel, to start from the point
a; which the Sutro tunnel penetratss
the Caledonia mine. and run thence
10 Spring Valley. Ii points out that
the Sutro tunnel. by the terms ofits
charter. must bend to the west upou
reaching the Caledonia. and take the
line of tine Maryland, Baltimore and
American Flsi niaes. and holds that.
were braneh tunnel opened d.
rectly south, it would ventilate the
Comstock laterally from the Sierra
Nevada to Spring Valley. 1t
claims, too, that branch tunnel of
this KIND, with q down-grade from
Spring Valley equal to the up grade
Of the Sutro tunnel from its eastern
end, would make a new shipping
point from the neigbborhood of the
Mound House, by which al q min
imum cost supplies Of timber might
be furnished the whole length of
the Comstock. II is evident now
that the Sutro tunnel is not going to
ventilate the Comstock unless il is
continued through TO Heasant Valley
and at best it strikes the lead at right
angles. Were the lateral branch
opened, the current of air would flow
in straight line the whole length
of the lead. There is another consid-
Grafton. From the Justice and Sill
yer Hill down, there is a perfect
network of groupings. Were this
proposed work commenced. it would
be prospecting tunnel from the in
ception. Sutro ran across the count
ry; this would be along the great
fissure al lis depth, and might un-
cover many bonanzas. Again, the
water In several of the mines about
Silver City amounts now to almost
an inhibition on working the claims.
With the adN opened, the water
would flow naturally to and through
the Sutro tunnel. and the tunne,
would then be utilized for about all
there is in il, TO wit: drain. The
cost would not be excessive. 1t
would not be half the length of the
Sutro tunnel. and would not cost
one eighth the money that was ex-
pended on that enterprise. 1t would
not be necessary TO buy Congress
man, 10 spend dollar on elections,
or To purchase a pound of useless
machinery. The last two miles of
the Sutro tunnel, driven in the
treacherous clay and in the intense
heat, did not cost as much probably,
as the first half mile. This branch
tunnel is worth the consideration
of the claim owners at the south end.
II is subject which such men as
Messrs. Derby, and Hillyer, and,
Curtis, and Caravan ought to seri-
ously consider. 1t ought to be driv.
en- in for less than the new Yellow
Jacket shaft will cost, and would
not be great burden il divided
among the mining companies along
the route. 1t is worth careful con
sideration.
