PRACTICAL RESULTS OF SILVER
RECONCILIATION.

The commercial editor Of the San Frar-
cisco Bulletin is q recognized authority on
finance on this coast. He was not a zeal-
Gus advocate Of the remonetization of sill
yer. Reviewing the financial work of
Congress, he thus discourses on the prac-
teal results Of tho Silver bill;
A bill for the reconciliation Of the dol
lar was introduced October 16, 1877, and a
dozen bills Of the same general nature i'm
mediately followed. These were discussed
from day to day, until the 10th Of Feb
ruary, 1878, when q vote vas had. The
President vetoed the bill adopted, and
Congress set aside the veto on the 2Sth Of
February. The measure finally approved
was not the measure originally proposed
and urged. What the silver men wanted
was a dual standard, which can only be
had through free coinage. The country
still adheres to the gold standard. One
section OF the above Silver bill provides
for an International Monetary Commission,
and this will soon be had, when the ar
rangemcnts may be made for the adoption
Of q dual standard, not only by the United
States, but also by European nations.
Thus far the Silver law has not worked to
the satisfaction of any one. The bullion
producers have apparently reaped no ben
eft from it, fine silver being now Sd per
ounce lower than it was when the bill be-
came q law. Debtors have reaped no ben
eft, because the dollars are held practie-
ally at par in gold. The Government has
not been benefited, for 1t has simply ex-
changed a portable metal for a bulky
metal. The only persons so far benefited
are those interested in the construction Of
the three large vaults made necessary by
the storage of silver dollars, and those who
have furnished the silver certificates.

LONDON, June 26.
Three Indian troops ships nave been or
dered to Malta, to take back the Indian
contingent.
A Berlin dispatch states that, according
to the present arrangement, the Congress,
provided Turkey does not raise difficulties,
It will have settled the main points by the
middle Of July. The settlement Of the de-
tails will then be left to a conference Of
plenipotentiaries, and Congress will meet
again in September to ratify their acts.
A dispatch from Berlin reports that in
Mondays sitting Of the Congress it was de-
cided that the Russians should withdraw
from Roumelia in six months, and Bulgaria
in nine months. Alter their withdrawal,

We collate the subjoined items of inter-
est from the Independent Of the 22d:
At the Star mine, the new drift on the
AGO level is driven As feet from the shaft,
towards the ledge, and passed through a
streak of ore which only showed q seam on
the 800 level. The bonanza will be reached
on or before the Fourth Of July. Plenty
OF ore is being raised from the $50 level,
and of a better character than earlier in
the month. Besides the ore they are TAX
ing from the Wine, or underhand slopes,
on this level, they are following a vein,
designated as the north drift, the ore from
which assays very high.
The agent of Mr.. Dorsey, q resident Of
Elko county, made a raid into this section
a few days ago, and captured a couple Of
horses that had strayed away from home
more han a year ago, and falling into
other hands. One was at the Occidental
Livery Stable-the owners paying Dorsey
800 and keeping the horse; the other was
in the possession Of Frank Downward, who,
upon pleading poverty, was given the sum
Of $50, Dorsey's agent taking the animal.
Messrs. Cameron and Bebee, two OF the
parties who disposed o. a property on
Muncy Creek, some three months ago, to a
firm in Chicago, for the purpose of organ
izing a company to work the mine, were in
town a few days ago, and returned with
lumber and other supplies for more extern
sive Developments, in accordance with the
directions Of the company that has bsen
organized, and has advanced the sum Of
$50, 900 to work the mite.
Geo. Van Enron is at present in Hamil-
ton to answer why a permanent Injunction,
at the i~nstigation Of I. j, Andrews, should
not be permanently issued to prevent the
new firm Of Mickle Il Co. from removing
ore from the Lookout mine at Ruby Hill.

The Assault on the Indians a Sac
cess-Sone 80 Sayayes Killed
The In.:ian Force Estimated NJ
zoe.

SILVER Cry, June 20.
The assault made by BERNARD upon the
Indians at Curry Creek, turns out to be a
success. 1t was a surprise to the savages,
about 40 Of whom were killed. The SOL
diers were very cool in the charge. The
Indian force present was estimated at 700,
but probably it was not so large as this.
The Indians ave retreated from their
stronghold in Stein mountains. General
Howard, with the forces ct his personal
command, are making Is miles a day, and
will effect a junction With Bernard to-
night. 1t is estimated that the whole force
of savage warriors numbers 1000. One
hundred and three camp fires were count
ed. The Indians will DO puraned and
there is every prospect Of a protracted
campaign, as the Stein mountain country
is well adapted for defensive operations.

Mr.. PROBERT'S POSITION.
HIS ADVANTAGES OVER THE LONDON
DIRECTORY.
HE CAN HOLD THE FORT IF HE
FEELS LIKE TT.
An English Opinion of the Situn-
ton.


1t is not so certain that the Commission
will succeed in deposing Mr.. Probert from
the management of the Richmond Com
pany. As an officer of the Nevada corpo-
ration, he enjoys legal advantages. which,
did he feel SO disposed, might be used in
q way to give the London Directory a great
deal Of trouble. OF course, we do not for
q moment suppose that Mr.. Probert would
avail himself Of unfair means to retain pos
session Of the property, but we allude to
possibilities it being a settled fact that he
is in position, legally speaking, to seriously
annoy the Company, in the event that he
should feel himself unjustly driven to the
wall. Commenting on this phase of the
situation, the London Mining Journal has
the following
From the report Of the Committee on
Investigation, appointed at the gen.
eral meeting in August last, it may be
predicted that unless the shareholders be
fairly unanimous in supporting the direc-
tors, the concern will become involved in
litigation, to which all that has yet been
passed through by the various Anglo
American mining companies will be as
nothing. The whole question OF principal
and agent, which is recognized by every
English lawyer to be one Of the most diff
cult with which the courts have tc deal,
will be raised in its most complicated form,
since the laws and customs Of both England
and America will be involved, and
Mr.. Probert occupies an exception
ally peculiar position. In the American
Courts the only company having q locus

The Leading Business House of
Perry County.

la the year 1869 F. A. Dittoe took full
control of the little grocery on South Co.
lumbus street, which place his brother had
been doing business for number of years
previous to his death. The building was
one story brick and the dimensions of
the room were about 18X20 and the coun =.
ters occupied about one third of the space.
In this room he continued to do business
until 1872 when he found his business in
creasing to such an extent that he was
cnmpelled to build, and he then erected
the business house he now occupies. He
has built up a trade that is far ahead
of all other similar establishments in the
county, and has proved himself, compe
tent business man. He is recognized il
commercial circles as one Of the leading bu
siness men Of the county, and one Of thos,
keen observers wholis laying solid foun
dation. which every successful business maj
has to stand spon. Although quite younI
he has proved himselfa O master .of his call

Thirty years ago, 184S, a Somerset boy,
Henry Lentz, son of John Lentz, formerly
of this place. now of Cardington, had q
boyish yearning to go out and see the world
He started, and on Wednesday last for the
first time since he left, like the sleep. Of
Rip Van Wrinkle he was on our streets
again to greet few of the old faces he had
left, see the old town and walk the old fa-
miliar streets.
Time has dealt gently with Henry for
traces of his then boyish features can be
readily seen in the now middle aged man.
In conversation with him we found he
had not forgotten the wallopings he got
from "Old Thorn" and the immense fun he
had with Billy Jones and host of other
| funny and eccentric characters in which
our village abounded in those times.
Henry's thirty years absence has beer
spent in the Mississippi and tributaries
in steamers in the capacity of steward
For the last six years he has been on the
| Commonwealth. During the rebellion hi
boat was in the employ of the Goernmen
as transport and he Witnessed many o.
the thrilling and historic seems that Occur
red on those rivers during that time. Mr.
Lentz's stay was but twenty-four hours
but he promises to come soon again ant
see more of old Somerset.
