suits for stock.

In the District Court yesterday the
case OF Mary Mccarthy w. tho Nevada
Bank Of San Francisco was on trial. The
suit was brought to recover SG3s. for
the sale OF ten shares Of Union Consoli.
dated aud forty shares Of Caledonia
stock by the defendants without, as is
alleged. giving due notice to the plaintiff.
The defendants claimed that at the time
the stock was purchased the plaintiff
signed a special contract authorizing the
defendants to sell without notice when.
ever the stock went so low as TO threaten
to leave tho margin uncovered. The
plaintiffs attorney held that notwith.
standing the special contract II was the
defendants place to give notice OF o
contemplated sale. Tue jury gave a
verdict for the full amount claimed. A
stay Of proceedings for twenty days was
granted. The case will be appealed to
the Supreme Court.

The Chine.e Qu...len.

WASHINGTON. Dec. G.-Representative
Horace Davis. as u result Of continued
reflection and further inquiry concerning
the feeling Of Congressman on the sub.
jcct. has arrived at the conclusion that
il would be wise policy for the Pacific
Coast delegation to procure at the hands
OF the House Committee on Education
and Labor q nominal modification OF tho
bill concerning Chinese immigration
which they have agreed to offer TO the
House for action when reached In the
regular call OF committees. The bill as
II now stands proscribes penalties OF fine,
imprisonment, forfeiture. etc., against
the bringing or landing Of more than
fifteen Mongolians by any vessel. and
Davis thinks the same object Of dis.
couraging and practically preventing an
influx OF Chinese can be effected without
those penal provisions, which. In his
opinion, arc likely to prejudice many
Eastern members against the entire
movement. His plan Ia TO substitute
for them n heavy capitation tax OF say
$50 OF 500 for every Chinaman carried
or landed in excess OF fifteen on any one
vessel, and provide that the money thus
collected shall DO devoted. nominally at
least, for the benefit Of the Chinese In
returning sick or INDECENT Mongolians
to China and In building marine
hospitals and barge houses. etc., for the
reception Of such passengers when
landed. Provisions OF this sort would
quit tho scruples Of many Eastern men
who might refuse to vote for any meas
ure which in plain terms proposed to
mako u misdemeanor OF actions on the
part OF ship owners and others which are
allowed by treaty stipulations. Legisla.
ton OF this quasi. benevolent character.
though forbidden TO States, Is clearly
within the Jurisdiction Of Congress, and
the bill thus framed would, In Davis
opinion. have vastly better chances OF
enactment than the n now pending.
which would practically accomplish
nothing moro.

A Ci,ir.a'. Complaint.


II. J. Hamilton. a resident Of Lower
Gold Hill. called at the News Office to.
day and asked to have a statement
printed with regard to tho trouble incur
red in opening a road through his prop
erty. which is located on the east
side OF Main street, just below the
Gold Hill Foundry. Mr.. Hamilton
says he has been grossly wronged in the
matter. His statement in brief is rs
follows: The Trustees Of Gold Hill
started to open a road through my prop
erty forcibly without giving me notice.
l stopped them by legal means. They
appointed u referee and notified me to
appoint another. They named George
Emmett, . personal enemy Of mine. and
I selected Mr.. MeCurdy. OF the Cali.
iornia mill. Mr.. Emmett valued my
property at $500. Mr.. MeCurjy valued
Il at $1,000. They couldn't agree and
did not appoint n third referee. The
town authorities then went on with the
road forcibly. When it was opened
found that two Of the Town Trustees.
Mercer aud Stevenson were opposed TO
paying me anything for the road. When
| found they wouldn't give me anything
for the road l fenced it up. Marshal
McCleery came down yesterday after
noon aud because / wouldn't take the
fence down he abused me and struck mo
and tried TO drag me TO Jail of my own
property. Aiterward he brought q con.
stable down and tore down the fence
himself.
Mr.. Hamilton's left eye shows signs
Of bad usage. indicating that 1t has In
in the recent past come in forcible con
tact with some hard substance. In
fact. he has u bad case Of black eye.
The e.se will doubtless go to the courts
for settlement. The NEWS is DESTROYS
Of giving both sides Of the question.
