in missionary work discussed In the afternoon by
Bishop Elliott, of Western Texas. He explained
that while he trates within radius OF thirty
six miles from his Cathedral his schools and other
institutions he sends his preachers and lay readers
out to the country villages aud towns adjacent on
Sundays. He also occupies half o dozen principal

X. l.. also engaged In the discussion DIR. Hickey de-
voted his remarks to presentation of the claims OF
the mining. manufacturing and agricultural classes
upon the Church. The reverend doctor laid down
two great principles as underlying this
discussion--namcly. the right OF every
to liberty and the acquisition OF property.
Abiding to what he called the scntmentalism that
prevails about tho Indians the Doctor remarked that
man to live in state Of nature, because that
state is not natural to man. Labor and acquisition
OF property lies at the foundation OF all moral
growth and the Indian like ali other citizens. must
go to work and acquire property tor himself. The
government has right to make treaties and give
vast tracts of this country to fishing and hunting
when the millions OF Europe and Asia arc coming
hitner to seek lands and work. The government
recognizes comm unism in lite treaties with the In
dams. and this the Doctor strongly condemned. Ho
dwelt ON the emancipation OF labor In the fifteenth
century as preparing the way Tor the Reformation
in Europe; tho emancipation Of labor here would he
thought, prepare the way for tho evangelizaton OF
the world.
The closing session last evening was devoted to a

To THE EDrTon THE HEnALD:-
was pleased to your remarks upon the

hope you will agitate the subject until you wake up

who are seasck or suffering from nausea caanot
eat tho heavy cuts and joints floating in grease.
and OF all these mistakes enhance tho

it would seem that II would be TO the interest
the companies to cater to the taste of their patrons
and make the voyage not only pleasant but profit

the other lines crossing the Atlantic Ocean, and

only would they have less walters to pay,
but could cconomize upon their immense sdus

LAZY SUPERINTEEDENTS.

The press of the state, except such papers
as depend on mining advertisements for a
substance, are agitsting the question Of
compelling mining Superintendents to attend
to their duties in a manner which will in
some degree Commensurate with their pay
Of course there are many mining Superin-
tendents in Nevada whv are men of ability,
activity and experience, and a heavy percent
age are humbugs of the first water Let the
work of separating the sheep from the goats
go ON. The following is from the Mammoth
City Times:
The Virginia Chronicle and Carson APPEAL
have both taken up the cudgel in favor of
making the Comstock mining superintendent
attend to their business. The APPEAL, cites
the case of ID. Ii. jackson, of the North Bo-
nanza and Flowery mines, both OF which
being Inercilessly assessed to carry on opera
tons Jackson it seems has just returned
from a four months visit to the East, and
finds that in his absence all the work done in
the mines was done in the wrong direction
that is, drifts that should have been run to
the east were run to the west and rice cersa.
This is nice state of affairs, but as the AP-
PEAL asks, what was Jackson doing away from
his post for four months, and who was the
blunderer he left in his place? Reqna. WHOM
the Virginia CHRONICLE bounced for neglect of
duty is by no means alone in his inef6ciency.
Not long ago Hank Smith of the Belcher
spent several months in Colorado, his salary
running along the while. Frank Osbistnn did
the same thing before ne resigned from Gould
e. Curry. Old San, Curtis draws fat salary
regularly from the Justice assessment money,
and We venture to say has not been near the
mine for a month. Half Of his time is spent
in San Francisco. The average Comstock SUI
perintendent is humbug, and the paying of
them heavy salaries out of money wruDg from
poor people in the shape of assessments, is an
abuse that ought to be looked into.

IT now appears that Henry Ward Beecher
was most foully wronged by the telegraph,
and that the story of his blasphemy was man
ufactured entirely out of whole cloth. The
remarks which living enemies put forth as
his, it appears by the New York Stars report
of his exact language, were uttered by him as
the arguments which the Romans would have
used against Christ; and, having stated
them, the modern minister then turned to
demoish them. Beecher doubtless knew at
the time that some paper would take advan
tage of the opportunity to garDle his remarks,
and then when the report had been spread
all over the world the same amount Of con-
tradicting would have to follow, all of which
is big advertisement for Beecher and the
Plymouth Church.

George M Pinney came to this coast poor
young man, and is now adjndged bankrupt,
with liabilities rated at 81 ,OO0, 900. He has
been tried for embezzeinent and forgery, got

succeed in owing half a million or so is looked
upon as a smart fellow. He is alluded to as

OVERWINDING ACCIDENTS.

EDIroR ENTERPRISE: In your edition Of
December 3, is an editorial entitled " Daft

been on watch, that the fact has been demon
| strated that such results are beyond the pre-
