REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE.
To the Honorable Board of Mayor and Alder
men of the City of jackson:


To the Honorable Board of Mayor and Alder
men of the City of Jackson
GENFLENEN-Yourc committee to whom was
referred the matters relating to the Pubic
Schools beg leave to report
That there will be available about two
thousand dollars $1,000 00) money and likely
three hundred dollars $500 000) NAV be col
lecte1, TO pay teachers. This will carry on
the schools about five (5) months countin Q
only neces 5ary number of teachers and sal
aries as regulated by law.
The North Ward school has 81 scholars, and
four a. teachers. This number is in excess:
only three (3) most could be allowed The
monthly attendance is more than the number
allowed for two but little short of three
The Trustees have resolved upon having a
male principal for this school, but the gentle
man elected did not accept and the vacancy
has not yet been filled. We learn that many
of the patrons of this school desired a male
principal and that the Trustees will supply
in measure, account for the limited atten-
dance thus far.
The West Ward school has seventy-one (71)
scholars and only two teachers. This is
largely over the number allowed for one prin-
cipal and one assistant. Three teachers
should be allowed at least. Sixty-fve (65)
scholars is the number allowed for three
teachers. This school is poorly provided with
desks and seats. There are more desks at the
North Ward school luse than are needed and
we suggest that some be moved to the West
Ward school, and that one more teacher be
elected for that school.
West Ward, colored, has an average atten-
dance of one hundred and thIrty-hve (135)
will have about one hurdred and fifty (l50)
scholars, and has four teachers and one prin-
cipal. This school can easily get along with
this number of teachers.
Your committee respectfully recommend the
adoption of the suggestions herein made to the
Hon. Board School Trustees, with these
changes and the election of the teacher neces-
sary for the West Ward and the male principal
for the North Ward, we see no reason why the
city schools should not be properly aad eff
ciently conducted.

THE AMENDED WILLIAMS BILL.

We notice by list published in Sunday 6
Enterprise of bills which have received the
Governors signature that the bill amenda-
tory of the Williams bill, striking out the
words "per mill" has been signed by his
Excellency. AS we intimated in our issue of
Friday, this amendatory bill might well have
been vetoed. If the ''per mile" provision
had any effect that effect would have been to
cause q reduction in freight charges in favor
of the people. Certainly it would have IA
vored Carson. Virginia City, protected by
the Geiger Grade, commands her freights at
a maximum of So per ton. This is at the
rate of Is cents per mile. We of Carson
pay at the rate of 20 cents per mile or $6 per
ton. If the ''per mile provision had not
been expunged upon motion of the railway
people, we of Carson could have compelled
the delivery of freights at 81 so per ton-or
forced the "local" railroad company to put
up their rates to Virginia at the risk of COM
petition by the Geiger Grade. The fact of
the matter is that this amendatory bill was
forced through the Legislature with indecent
haste, and upon the baldest of false preten-
ses. 1t is a pity that the Governor had not
seen fit to teach these INSCRIPTIONS and
greedy monopolists lesson by putting upon
this knavish device of theirs the prompt and
emphatic sign of his disapproval

TUEsDAY
TIE CARSON MINT.

We take it for granted that Congressman
Daggett wrote the following editorial which ap-
peared in the Enterprise of Sunday: "a few days
since instructions were received from the Sec
rotary of the Treasury which virtually close
the Carson Mint. The Superintendent has
been ordered to cease the purchase of silver
and coming it after the stock on hand shall
have been exhausted, and to conGne the work
of the Mint TO gold coinage, assaylng and the
refining of bullion He has also been instruct
cd to reduce the laboring force of the institu-
ton to meet the requirements of the new
order of things. The Carson Mint has some
Of the largest and finest coming machinery in
the United States, and the reports of 1867
show that coming is executed at a cheaper
rate per piece in Carson than in San Francisco.
The Mint is located almost beside the Com
stock, from which gold and silver bars to the
value of from twenty to thirty millions OF
Of dollars are taken annually. All of one half
OF this amount is disbursed among the miners,
mechanics, lumbermen, etc, OF Nevada, and
if the coin cannot be furnished ut the Mint,
it must be brought here from New York or
San Francisco Mr. Sherman would compel
us, with Mint ut our doors where coming
can be done as cheaply as in San Francisco, to
meet the expense of shipping our bullion out
of the State, with the added outlay of express
ing one-haf of it back again in coin. This is
unjust aud Indecent, and the conclusion is ir
resstible that Mr.. Sherman is actuated in the
matter either through disposition to pro-
mote the interest of gang of harpies in the
East, or by a personal bitterness toward
people through whose representatives silver
was rcmonet;sed in tho teeth Of the Treasury
Department, The people Of Carson may be
assured that the matter will be looked iuto.'

LATEST EASTERN NEWS.

New York, March I0-One burglar was
shot and killed and another captured last
night by John P. Richards, who. surprised
them while they we're ransacking the parlor
in his house. Richards up stairs and
heard noise below in the parlor. He got a
revolver and went cautiously down, by the
light of the moon. He saw two men i'll the
room, who heard him coming and ran-one
to the right and the other to the left. He
fired three shots after the latter without ap-
parent effect. Failing to get out of back
window, the latter turned on Richards, who
shot him through the heart aud he fell dead
in the middle of the room. The other man
was then covered with the revolver and sur
rendered. The police were attracted by the
shooting, and as they came to the house
Richards, after telling the story surren-
dered himself The dead burglar was
recognized as Timothy Casey, a hard
ened young criminal hardly yet man,
who has given the police in the up
per part of the city a good deal of
trouble. James Dargon, the captured
burglar, is known to the police as an old
offender In the station house he said to
Richards that if he Oargon) only had re-
voiver Richards would not be at the station
house with him. Richards is Captain of the
Seventh Regiment Rifle Team. Later in the
night the Coroner discharged Richards from
custody.

koff telegraphs that the foreign physicians, at

guarantee that it may not reappear, especially
at Wetlianka, they recommend continuance

SENATOR WHEELER.

We had e call yesterday from Senator
Wheeler of Virginia City, The Senator con
siders himself aggrieved by the action of his
constituents on Saturday night i'll National
Guard Hall. They coupled his name with
certain faithless and shameless Assemblymen.
He feels that injustice done him by plac
ing him i'll such category. He has, he
claims, striveu to represent and secure the
best interests of the people, He was in favor
of the Lewis Bill and regrets its summary
squslching by the railroad corporations, Also
he was opposed to the infamous Haines Bill
"a device of dishonest hands, intended to
deceive the Legislature and repeal the vii
Hams Bill, the bill providing a penalty FOR de
iinquent reports and the Cassidy Bill fixing d
fine for noncompliance with the railroad Acts
now in forcs. Senator Wheeler did not vote
and act always as We should have liked to see
him with reference to the railroad question;
but it is very much in a mans favor when he
80 far values the good opinion of his constitu-
ents as to WISH to DO regarded with favor in

INDIANS ALARMED.

THE Reue;JJe of Saturday has the following:
The Indians living here became very much
alarmed and excited last night over rumor
that detachment of Uncle Sans soldiers
were ell route from Battle Mountain to this
city to kill all the Austin Indians. The ru-
NOR became current among them that one or
more Indians had Just arrived from the rail
road, who brought the information, but be-
ing unable to trace the report to anything
like a reliable source, one of the Indians, who
speaks and understands the English language
quite well, called at our residence III the eve
ming, knowing our facilities for news, to in.
terview us on the subject He said the ru-
NOR Of the United States soldiers coming here
to destroy the Austin Indians had been dis
cussed and much fear existed, and being ig-
norant of any reason for being slaughtered,
they were at a loss to conceive what was to
be done in the premises-stand their ground
or make Immediate esCape-as they were I'M
prepared for battle. Seeing that the excite
ment among them was intense, we told the
messenger that there were no grounds for
alarm, the rumor being false. He manifested
great relief and qualification, thanking us
kindly for the information, and at once
started off to report and quiet the many
bucks and squaws who had gathered in large
number consulting on plans for action.
II seems that ever since the BannOck war
last Summer the Piutes have been consider
ably uneasy on account OF refusing to assist
the Bannocks, having on several occasions
received messages from the latter of their
anger brought about by their refusal to assist,
seemingly fearing the hostile tribe might pos
sibly take notion to cross over into their
hunting grounds and playfuly take possession
of few Piute scalps, Bat, the rumor of
United States troops coming to annihilate
them, was sumner beyond their comprehen
sion
