A CRAZY CHARGE.

DEANE, ot the San Francesca stock board, land NR. JOIN w. MACKAY, of the bonanza firm, is one to which public interest is at tracled bey the local limits of the community in which il is con ductcd, COLL DEANE in disregard of principle of spol ting ethics pro hibiting the unsuccessful gamester from "squealing" over his losses, proceeded last week, ill San Fran cisco, to "h; c hall' where in, t'lo ubi1uit tous DENIS
 KEARNET. t1 the contrary not withstand;n5. COLL DIANE gave tongue to his complaints against the FLOOD, MAcKAY and FAIR trium
 virate. He asserted that there were three bOnanzas in the Com stock. the existence and locality of each of which had been known 10 the bonanza firm for years, and that they had concealed them from public knowledge. MR. MACKAY coolly offers 10 pay DEANE s50O,0o0 if he will prove their existence and supplements it by a further offer to afford DEANE ample oppo, tunity 10 explore aKd run drifts at his own costs to that end. DEANE's response 10 MAcKAY seems thus far to be ihe response of the economical jaw bone rather than the sturdy reply of the pick. IT. us in this distant valley, 80 far removed from the whirl of Pine street and more in

 ock bulls" but yet att ntivs ob- servers of all current events, it ap- pears that Col. DIANE is the rrp- resentativc Of the disappointed op- orators in mining stocks. who look tor the coming boom and sigh be cause it cJme!h not" The chargei is crazy one. The wealth of lhe firm is tie result of pro duc:ive indust. ics, in which they embark ed their energies and tsl
 ents. Their fortunes hay" bcen dug fiom the earth. What inducement, other than a just pride in the suc- cessful outcome of these vast enter prizes, could persuade them to con tirue in wo king harness? Neither of them would need tie means to procure any thing that money could buy, if they were to put their money in four per cent. bonds, and pass their days removed from the cares of business. If the bonInza firm were to withdraw their capital and management from the Com stock, we imagine it's lower levels would soon be remitted to their hot water baths. ard Virginia City speedily become an owl and bat ranch. Nothing could bc gained by conc >aling such treasure, and is development woull add many millions to their purge, and quicken fagging pulses of San Francisco commerce and manufactures, w ould quiet public discontent. wouu put bread into five iholsapd hungry mouths, and hope into twice five thous md heart@, and woald place the members of tho bonanza firm upon the very pinnacle ot pop ularity. IL would be quite as req solablc to accuse STANFORD and CRocKER of conspiring to run their riill 0 ids in non-paying directions and their steamers to decaying ports. IL would be quite as reason alle to assert that LUCKY BALDWIN is importing bulls afflicted with the iinderpest to depreciate the breed of his cattle, or that FARMER GLENN designs 10. SOW the Canada thistle il his grain felI : t, make tls accusation which Coll DEANE ai- vanccs, that the bontnz, firm are con, e:ilius rich body of ore We are fain 10 believe that the charge is as crazy and malicious as a cinched and ugly curb-stene operator could makeit it.
