T,,e rsavt.Comtus Il, broguio,

Referring to the suit Of Senator Comins
against Mr.. Hoyt, the Reno Gazette
says that a controversy such as is now be-
ing carried on has the effect of making
trials a partizan fight between rival fac
tons, rather than an equal administration
Of justice. II Mr.. Hoyt has told the truth
about Mr.. Comins, let him prove it, and
then let Mr.. Comins suffer the contempt
and scorn Of every honest man. Mr..
Comis has made the issue squarely in the
Courts, let him meet it and prove his in
necence of the charges made against his
integrity. The investigation should be
full. fair and complete. Let justice be
done though the heavens fall, but there
should sbe no wrangling in the temple Of
Justice. Mr.. Comins' position on the rail
road question has no bearing on the sub
ject. Did be allow corrupt motives to in
fiuence his vote2 That ia the point in
issue. Personal and political issues have
no bearing on the case whatever.

LEAGUE.
A Pacific Coast Convention Pro-
posed.

A Pacific Coast Convention Pro-
posed.
At the last meeting OF the anti Chinese
League held in Virginia, q letter was read
from Captain Rock, in which the writer
complained that he had seen little or moth
ing in the papers about the Virginia League
or Its meetings. The Eureka organization
was strong and popular. but the politicians
generally held aloof. The main point Of
the letter was as follows
What do you think of calling a Pacific Coast
Convention, to meet say next June, in Sacra-
mento, Cal. ? And what do you think Of start
ject. not only in opposition to the Chinese, but
70 protect and uphold labor and to aid our peo-
pie In sill industrial pursuits?
We are working in all peaceful ways to rid
ourselves Of the Chinese here, and to supply
white persons. both men and women, to take
their places.
We suggest to you a committee to ask owners
Of property in Virginia City not to rent houses
to the Chinese.
After the reading Of the letter one Of
the members arose and said he was in favor
Of holding o convention, but not OF start
ing a paper. His pure mind revolted from
newspaper men generally, and he didn't
believe in any of them.
James Dockery said he was opposed to
the newspaper proposition, but he believed
a convention would be a good thing. The
Convention, however, should be held in
Carson, for this State, because it is nearer
to all the Leagues and the representation
would be fuller and possibly more faithful
to their trusts.
Without taking definite action the meet
ing adjourned.

Lecture.

Quite a large audience gathered at the
Courthouse last night, to listen to the
lecture By Mr.. tfor Mrs. Pollard, a major
ity. no doubt, being drawn there from
curiosity. The lecture consisted princi-
pally of a recital Of the personal experience
Of the lecturer ; was delivered in q free,
easy and graceful manner and contained
a good many points calculated to amuse
the audience and keep it in a good humor.
The s~trictest attention was observed
throughout and the general expression was
one Of approval. There was nothing said
to offend the most fastidious, and as he Tor
she) will repeat the lecture tomorrow
night, the ladies need not remain away,
from any delicate motives. Tonight Sam
uel-Maud goes to Ruby Hill, and the deni-
zens Of that burg will have an opportunity
of guessing as to the sex Of the lecturer.

How Contractors Manage 70 Evade
It's Provisions.
The lien law Of Nevada. approved March
2, 1875, which was passed for the especial
purpose Of protecting mechanics and others
against dishonest and tricky builders. con-
tractors or owners Of property, although
stringent in its provisions, contains at
least one loop-hole by which its enforce
ment may be evaded, as has been proven
in Eureka since the fire. The first section
of the law provides that in order to obtain
. lien work must be performed or material
furnised OF SIS, and therefore the man
who performs labor or furnishes material
to the amount Of $24.99 has no claim. We
are told that . certain builder in Eureka,
who had contracted to put up a building at
q ri~diculously low figure, managed to save
himself from loss by employing carpenters
and other mechanics until their labor
amounted to $50 or oycr. aud then sup
piled their places with others. who in turn
were discharged, and all swirdled out Of
their hard-earned wages. This is a sharp
as well as q shabby trick, and one which II
would appear to us could not be practiced
with impunity in q community like this.

Removal OF she Rescue Hose IKOus'

~
The Commissioners yesterday let a con-
tract for the removal Of the Rescue hose
house from its present site to the rear Of
the Jail, the building to front on Bateman
street. This arrangement is but tempo
rary, as it is the intention of the Commits
sioners to provide a suitable house on the
south side OF the new Courthouse as soon
as possible. There will be ample space
along the south side of the Courthouse
and more comfortable quarters can be
provided there than elsewhere. The Res
cues will then stand fronting on Main
street, which will be even more convenient
than the present site. The building as it
now stands is wholly in the street. The
Commissioners have determined to remove
all Instructions from the streets and side
walks, and hence the action in the case OF
the Rescues. The hose house was origin
ally located with a knowledge that it was
on the street, and a general understanding
that it should be removed when required
bv the authorities. The Commissioners
will provide a better place than that now
in use. The house itself is, OF course, the
private property Of the company. which
the boys can dispose Of to the best advan-
tage when they get into their new brick
quarters.
