like manner be applied to the pur-
chase orpayment Of the public debt,
as the Secretary of the Treasury
shall from time to time direct.
Third-The residue to be paid into
the Treasury.
If these things do not require in
vestigation by the Committee on
Finance, do not see what use the
Senate has for the committee,
whether it aids or obstructs resuInp-
ton.
One word on another subject. No
man in Congress or out of ii has
struggled harder than ] have for
many years to obtain the passage
of law authorizing the receipt of
legal tender notes for customs
dues, the finance Committee has
bill for that purpose, introduced
by me, before it now, and ought to
report it at once, so that we can
pass it. The House has already
passed a similar one. Notwith-
standing my anxiety to see that bill
become a law, | would not allow
the Secretary of the Treasury to re-
ceiVe these notes for customs dues,
as he is doing now, in defiance of
law. He has argued with great
| ability in his report to show why
/ these notes should now be received
| for customs dues. / agree with him:
/ but they should be received in ac-
cordance with law and not in plain
violation of it. His object is to re-
ceiVe them when it suits him and
! refuse when it does not so as to
MAKE HIM AUToCRAT.
My purpose is to establish his
duties, powers and rights by law,
which all men can examine and
understand, and not leave the bust
ness of the country subject to the
whim or caprice of the Secretary.
The chancellor's conscience shall
not be measured by the chancellOr's
foot if ] can help it. The servant
is not above his master, and the
Secretary must understand that
Congress makes laws and that he is
| bound to obey them. | think
could show that this sale of $50, 000,-
600 of Al per cent. bonds to the
syndicate in April last and
the payment of S250, O00commission
I
the enormous loans made to pet
banks, were not in accordance with
law nor in the interest of the peo-
pie, who have shown a willingness
10 take at per cent. all the bonds
the Government has for sale and tC
spend the interest at home and thus
restore an honest balance to trade
in our favor. But | am not seeking
to arraign the Secretary. | only
} desire to urge upon the Finance
Committee of the Senate to adopt OF
at least Recommend such measures
as will compel him to carry out il
good faith the provisions of existing
laws relative to silver coin and cur
rency and the uses to which they
must be applied, and to let hin
know that he is our agent, bound
! by law so long as they are on the
statute books to do as the laws oil
rect whether he likes them or not
: That done, there will be no pre-
tense of excuse for the further i'll
crease Of the interest bearing bond
, ed debt of the country nor for tht
imposition of new burdens of taxa
ton on the country. Seventeen
! hundred millions of 6 per cent
bonds can in two years be reduced
to four per cents without the inter
} vention of syndicates, and taxation
: to pay interest Oh them reduced
$14, 600, 600 annually.

A GROWL ABOUT THE NEW
THEATRE.

EUREKA, November 8, 1879.
EDITOR SENTINEL; Now that Eureka is
provided with a fine place of amusement
a theatre building, second to none in the
State-it behooves the management to see
that ii is properly conducted. am sorry
to see that in one particular a great lack of
judgment is manifest, that in the matter
OF reserved seats. Considerable complaint
has been made, and well-founded too, that
as soon as a box sheet is opened, for a good
company, the choice seats are marked off,
for favorites, and one happening in two
hours after the diagram is open,
must take second choice. | would suggest
that for the popularity Of Eureka's new
hall, that Messrs. Molinelli q Smith ex-
hibit less favoritism in the matter Of seats,
and let those coming first, have first
choice, thus emitting them to deserved re-
spect. REGULAR T~HEATEReoER.
We publish the above under the rule to
give everybody a hearing in these columns.
The article was accompanied by a respon-
sible name. We know nothing of the mat

A PROPOSED NEW MINING LAW.


~
We find in our Colorado exchanges, the
text Of a bill which Judge Bedford. the
Representative Of that State, in the House
Of Representatives, has prepared and pro-
poses to submit to Congress at the coming
session. 1t will not materially affect New
ada, even though it should become a law in
its present shape, well defined lodges being
exempt from its provisions. Following is
the bill
"Be it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States Of Amer
lea in Congress assembled
"Tha hereafter any person desfrious of pros
pecting and exploring the public domain OF the
United states, for the discovery of deposits Of
gold and silver bearing ore, which do not out
crop or appear ON the surface. may locate a
mining claim 500 feet in length nd GOO feet
in width, which location shall be made by
marking the boundaries of the same on the sur.
face Of the ground by at least six substantial
stakes, one at each corner OF the claim and one
at the center Of each side line.
After the making of said location, the party
making the same shall have ninety days within
which to expose and define the mineral deposit,
which may be done either by the sinking of q
discovery shaft, or by an open cut, cross-cut or
tunnel. II within said period of ninety days,
he shall fail to expose said mineral deposit. his
location shall be void, and the claim so located
shall be open to relocation in the same manner
as If no location of the same had ever been
made.
N person discovering a mineral deposit IN
der this Act shall have the right to follow 1t be-
You'd the point where it is intersected by the
exterior lines of the claim nor shall any person
under this Act be allowed to locate a second
claim in the same mining district, until he has
perfected his title to the first located claim by
an exposure of the mineral deposit therein. in
the manner above set forth and by recording
the same as required by law.
Provided, this Act shall not apply to mining
claims on veins or lodes of quartz found be-
tween well-deined walls Of rock in place"

The Entertainment Given by the
Public School.

Public school.
The exhibition Of the scholars Of our
public school, was given in the Hall last
evening, and barring one or two triiing
incidents. passed off pleasantly and sue
cessfully. The children for several DAYS
past have talked Of nothing else, and as a
consequence pupils and parents alike be-
came deeply interested. The audience was
larger and more appreciative than could
have reasonably been expected, and all of
the participants received a liberal encour-
agement. The programme embraced SO
many acts and names that it would be i'm
possible, at the late hour at which we
write, to mention personally all who took
part, or who are especially worthy of COM
mendation.
Unquestionably one of the best things Of
the evening was the opening chorus, .My
Country IT'S of Thee" by the entire school.
when the curtain rose it disclosed all the
scholars on the stage, ranged with regard
to size, the toddlers forming the first rank.
No stage ever presented a sweeter sight,
and many a mothers eye in our vicinity
was dimmed with happy tears.
The tableau Of 'sBabes in the Woods,
brought down the house. When the cur
tain was rung up it showed Bill Mont
gomery reclining affectionately IN the arms
of Jack Perry. The effect was instanta-
neous, and the sleepiest urchins in the hall
were recalled to their senses, by the storm
of applause that followed.
The reading Of the school paper was also
well received, on account of its local hits.
Taking into consideration the number of
scholars that had to be handled, and other
natural drawbacks, it must be conceded
that the exhibition was more successful
than could have been anticipated, and Mr..
Scanland, and the teachers who assist him,
are to be congratulated upon the success
that has attended their efforts.
