SENATOR SARGENT.

The Grass Valley (CaI) Union, Demo
cratic paper of the strictest school Of Dem
ocracy, pays Senator Sargent tho following
well deserved compliment:
The Record Union pays handsome tribute
TO Senator Sargent, upon his retirement from
the important position occupied by him in
the councils of the nation Aside from his
partizlnship, which has been of pronounced
character, and with which We are not in &C
cord, we also can JOIN in recognition of the
valuable services of the Senator. He has la
bored ably and faithfully for the interests of
California at all times, and can show for his
services the accomplishment of more for our
home Interests than any representative from
the State who preceded him. To him, almost
exclusively is due the credit of framing and
carrying through the mining legislation
which opened the way for securing mining
titles, which has resulted in giving wonder
full impetus to the business OF mining and in
a great measure has checked harrassing and
costly litigation as to mining property. This
was done in the face of many difficulties, as
Eastern representatives generally were pos
sessed of the idea that the gold and silver
bearing lodes and placers vera sources of
wealth that should go far toward wiping out
the National debt, by affording princely
revenue directly to the Government, and it
took much time and argument to convince
them of the correctness of the theory that
these lands should be sold at a nominal price.
If DIR. Sargent had accomplished nothing
more than this he would have been entitled
to the special thanks of the mining people of
the Pacific Coast, who represent the most
valued moneyd and industrial interest of the
present and future of this vast region.

TAKING JOHN CHINAMAN'S SIDE.

Rev William Speer, was for a long time
missionary among the Chinese of Sacramento.
He it is who is alluded to in the following:
New York, March 6-The Tribune wei.
comes communication from Rev. William
Speer of Washington, Pennsylvania, as the
contribution OF a man who has lived III close
contact with California Chinese, familiar with
their language and customs, who has attended
meetings OF the Six Companies, having access
to their regulations in the original tongue.
Speer says: Zone principal indictment against
the Chinese is that most Of those III the Unit
ed States are imported for the Six Companies
for which they compelled to work like
poems or slaves. 1t is not true. The charge
is founded upon the msconception of the
| nature Of certain organizations to which there
may be made objections as n permanent
feature of Chinese life here. But they are i'll
no sense associations of capital. They import
no one either voluntarily OF invOluntariy;
they in no way direct labor in mines or in any
other common employment of their people;
they exercise no control over the occupations
or residence of men connected with them
| The Six Companies are really mutual benefit
| assOciations-great clubs of people from neigh
boring districts of their native provinces
formed for the sake of economy i'll living and
care OF baggage, ana 10 some extent lof the
purpose of protection and aid, the arbitration
of disputes and facility in the collection of
debts. The members of the companies are
constituted such by enrolling their names and
paying certain fees They elect yearly a
Superintendent or President, two or three
clerks assistants and few servants, and
these persons have no authority or power save
what is given to them by the regulations
adopted by vote of the members and which
the members modify or repeal as they please
The Chinese immigrate to the Pacific Coast
very much as Europeans or Americans go
there There is not one man of them prob,
ably, who could be ranked as slave or peon
among the whole number in this country.

LATEST FROM SAN FRANCISCO.

San Francisco, March 1O.-On the night of
July a. 1877, during the hoodlum riots, a
wash house on Devisadero street, occupied
a Chinaman named Wong Cow, was attacked
by gang and burned. They approached
while the inmates of the building were asleep,
and, having secured the door to prevent exit,
set the house on fire. The inmates broke
out, were fred upon by the incendiaries, and
one of the Cinnamon was either wounded and
driven back to the house or was not able to
get out; and persisted in the flames. No ar
rests were made at the time, owing to the diff
iculty in procuring evidence, but the case
was placed in the hands of detectives, who
have been working it up, and yesterday ar
rested George w Miller, John G, B1inkel,
VIM. Kleveshall. 2. Cronan, and J. Barry.

SUICIDE AT CARLTN.
'ays the Elko Independent of Friday :

Says the Elko Independent of Friday;
dispatch from Carln last night announced
that man had just been shot at Carlin and
required surgical treatment. DR.. Meigs took
the train for the west which departed shortly
after the dispatch came to hand, and went to
his relief Only short time after dispatch
from Carlin announced the death of the
party, and Coroner Isaac Yates took the 10
o'clock train to hold an inquest upon the
body Frank Robinson is the name of the
deceased, and he has been in the employ of
the Fast Freight Company as driver until
lately 1t is stated that he had been drinking
to great excess during the past two weeks,
and the fatal wound is thought to have been
self inflicted. We learn since that the verdict
of the Coroners jury was in accord with the
above. Deceased was native of Middleton,
Conn, where sister now resides, and at the
time he committed the fatal act he was thirty
five years of age. Owing to the fact that the
fatal bullet entered the head well back COM
ing out nearly in front, suspicious of foul
play we're reported abroad, but an invesriga-
ton of the matter proved them to be entirely
groundless. 1t was also ascertained that the
deceased had once or twice before threatened
his own life

ARRESTING A DUMMY.

The Eureka Leader of Saturday tells the
following story of misplaced straw and wasted
official ZEAL
= A few evenings ago the boys played good
joke on one of the Constables. They set to,
fixed up dummy" that was faithful rep
resentation of ShoshOne buck, and placed it
between two buildings down by the City
Brewery. A messenger was dispatched for
an officer, requesting the latter to come down
and arrest drunken Indian. Arriving at
the above mentioned place, sure enough in
the dark alley stood or rather leaned drunk
en- buck. Come out of there you red devil,
demanded the officer No response. In
louder key 81 say come here, you Internal
red imp. Still there was no stir on the part
of the Indian, and the officer got mad. ''By
Cd I'll make you hear, said the peace
keeper, and in he went. Selling firm hold
on the coat collar, the officer braced his feet
and made jerk that would have pulled over
the North Pole. Down they went on the
ground, the dummy on top, and up rose about
ten thousand boys, probably not SO many who
relt the air with screams of laughter, and
one bold fellow yelled, ''Did you catch him2'
The officer sprang to his feet, and madden
maxwell, it was good thing that the boys
kept out of reach, or would now, instead
of writing this, be engaged on obituary no.

P. S.-The boys say that Fred G. knows

A CowARDLY ACr.-The Grantsville Sun
relates the following
About week ago white man named Tom
Hubbard living near the summit of the
Ellsworth range of mountains, shot an Indian
and his squaw. The particulars are as fol-
lows; The man Hubbard had missed articles
from his cabin al different times and concluded
to wreck his vengeance on the first Indians he
found prowling about. Coming and discov-
ering the buck and squaw he took his gun,
which was loaded with buckshot, and fired on
them, hitting them in the lower part of the
body. The bucks legs were riddled with
buckshot, and our informant stated that he
was in bad way for recovery The Indians
around Mammoth are considerably worked
up, and should the buck die will make it
lively for Hubbard. We hope the proper au-
thorities will look into this case. The In
dams hereabouts are generally well behaved,
and should be protected from the caprices of
such men.
