THEN AND Now-The Enterprise asks why
the APPEAL was an ardent supporter of Sharon
in 1874 At that time the APPEAL believed
that Sharon would be faithful to the trust i'm
posed upon him by the people. He has dur
ing his term held the people of Nevada and
their wishes in utter contempt and refused to
do them any service whatever. The APPEAL
now opposes Sharon because of his faithlessness
to the State. Mr.. Sharon was sent to Wash
iRgton simply as a servant of the people. If
the editor of the Enterprise were to hire a
cook in his family and at the end Of the month
discover that she spent her time reading
novels and going to picnics and dances, while
things generally went to the deuce about the
house, would he not consider it rather cool On
her part to ask to be retained for another
month"; Would he under these circumstan-
ces engage her services again!

corded Sharon ON the occasion of his first pub
lie appearance at Virginia City On Monday
evening has proved decided dampener upon
his Senatorial prospects. Personally he made
bad showing, proved himself unable to make
the commonest kind of a speech and thor
oughly disappointed his warmest admirers.
With all the blare of a hired band and cla-
quers in the crowd, the public was not de-
ceived, and the affair was more a pitiable
showing of his weakness and unpopularity
than anything else.

The Stock Exchange reads the Bodie Free
Press an excellent sermon on its bad habit of
slobbering Unfortunately over mines which
patrsnlze it. Such course may temporarily
benefit the paper from financial standpoint,
but it Injuries it in the long run; besides work
published. The Free Press has fallen into a
groove of toadyism which threatens to make
its influence nil as a mining newspaper.

TIE Carson APPEAL declares that if Sharon
is elected he will be ousted by the Democratic
Senate on the ground of non residence 1t
believes that the seat will be given to the
candidate receiving the next highest vote in
the Legislature, and predicts that Hon. A. NJ.
Hillhouse, of Eureka, will be that man.
-Eareka Sentinel.
We predicted nothing of the kind We
simply stated that a project of that kind was
being worke lup, part of which is bound to fail.
The Democrats will be able to unseat Sharon
but cannot legally name his successor. The
moment Sharon is declared ineligible by the
United States Senate, there will be vacancy
cred to fill, and it is not at all probable that
he will appoint Hilhouse.

THIEvING BROKERS.

Judge Hunt of San Francisco has rendered
. decision in the case of Jane Short " Robert
Greisinger. The plaintiff brought suit to re.
cover the value Of certain mining stocks de-
pssited with Greisinger ~ collateral, and
which he disposed of for bis own benefit, to
make himself secure. The Judge, after hear
ing the testimony, gave the plaintiff verdic'
for % 1886. In giving his decision Judge
Hunt commented upon the manner in which
the defendant conducted his business, and
said that the evidence showed that he did
it in a most reckless aud certainly illegal
manner. In reviewing the Case the Court
said: Certificates Of stock which plant. #
had leither purchased &c deposited with de
PENDANT a. collateral security We're appropri-
ated by him to his own use or the use of his
business whenever occasion required, and III
some instances, in cases where the defend
ant sold stock to deliver, or, technically speak
ing, had made short sales, he seems to have
had no hesitation, when the time arrived for
filing such sales, in appropriating the defend
ants stock for that purpose, thereby saving
himself, in the event of an appreciation Of
the stocks, from a larger loss In other ill.,
stances, where the plaintiff had ordered pur-
chases to be made, the defendant had trans
ferred stock owned by himself. Indeed, the
defendants books show that he regularly kept
therein an account termed Adventure Ac-
count, wherein were detailed the various
| transactions had by defendant on his own &C.
count with the plaintiff. The books show that
the plaintiff was invariably charged with the
highest price, and in case Of sale was credited
with the lowest which the stock effected real
lied on that day. In some instances it ap-
pears that when purchases were really made
by him on plaintiffs behalf, if the stock at
any subsequent session Of that days Board
appreciated in value, the higher value was
always charged to the plaintiff, and if a sale
was made and the stock deprecated, the low
est sum realized was credited t. her." Mrs.
Short has had about the same experience with
her broker as thousands of other spectators
have had. Stock buyers are ground to pow
der in the brokers hands and are left so COM
pletely poverty stricken as not to have enough
money left to begin law suit for their rights.
Commission and interest will in few months
almost eat UP stock account under the pres
ent system and when the customers have been
bed to the last dollar by the cormorants he is
sold ruthlessly. There are cases recorded Of
brokers who have purchased notes against
their customers at a big discount and then
sold their stocks to realize en- the notes. 1t is
hard to conceive how even stock broker
this.

The Legislators who are to represent Storey

The Democrats are going to make hard fight,
and unless good men are put up on the Re
publican side, there may be some trouble in
getting them elected. As general thing when
a Senatorial election is to take place in Ne
vada, the ma jority of the Legislators are
chosen simply for the purpose of voting for
the man who wants to be Senator. When
that is done the purpose for which they were
elected has been served, and during the re-
mainder of the session they are only sticks
impeding rather than assisting desirable legis-
lation.

fore republican gains. The constitutional
amendment giving the appointment OF
judges of courts to the governor Is
carried by large majority. There are
l67 towns in the state, and 1t is believed
the gains in the towns to hear from will
be in the above proportion. The result
is regarded by republicans as in every
way favorable 10 the prospects of republic
can successes IN November. The best OF
spirit prevails among republicans
throughout the state. The registry law
is much more favorable to the honest
vote than in 1876. Business men and
manufacturers are satisfied with the
present prosperity. Working men fear
the result of democratic trickery, with
the tariff, sill of which adds strength to
republicans.

believing that could deliver them from

is another partial reason. l believe 1
could have induced, from my knowledge

would have given US control Of much de-
sirable commerce, for instance, in Mex
leo, instead Of dealing with people who
are only slave labor, and receive little or

Denver, Col, -RepubLicdn's Lead
vile: A fire started at 5 O'Clock yester-
day morning in the shaft house of the ED
Vulcan shaft of the Chryselite Mine,
caused by a sick miner dropping g candle.
The building was consumed and burning
debris fell into the shaft setting it sire.
The Vulcan connects with the ChrysO-
lite, Little Chief, Annie, Climax and
Little Pittsburg Mines, by levels at =
depth Of 40 feet, all OF which were filed
with csrbonic acid gas and smoke, driving
the men from their work Of constructing
bulkheads. Six hundred feet away
twelve men were overcome with smoke,
and barely escaped with their lives.
After great trouble bulkheads were built,
preventing the fire from spreading and
the flames are now confined to radius OF
few feet from the Vulcan shaft, and
completely under control. All shafts are
Dramatically closed to exclude draughts,
snd will remain so for four days. Work
will be suspended in Sll mines fol week
and perhaps longer. Nobody was ser
iously hurt. Damage, about $4,000,
caused by a delay Of work. All levels
and drifts are full Of gas.

CALIFORNIA.
How She Was Kept OHt of the
Rebellion.

New York, 5.-A member Of the legis-
lature Of California in lo6l writes 10 the
Tribune sh wing how California was
saved to the Union that year. He ssys
California was saved from an attempt at
secession ~ the foresight and prompt
and prudent actioa of President Ii coin.
Shortly after his Inauguration be com
missioned General E. V. Sumner, and
ordered him to repair to California, and
relieve General A. S. Johnston, then in
command of the Pacific department,
Sumner went aboard the steamer in New
York in cognito, and his departure WAS
not known publicly until he reached his
destination. Reaching the Golden Gate
at midnight, he commanded the captsin
of the steamer to come to anchor 10 the
harbor until daylight, while toe general
took a small boat and went ashore,
calling upon Johnston st his lodgings, al
the Oriental Hotel, he advised the Ia,ter
that he had been appointed his successor.
Johnston replied that if he would call
upon him at headquarters in the morn
over to him. Sumner producing his
the authority uader which / am
department Of the Pacific, and l
insist upon being placed in possession
here and pow.n The transfer was then
made, and the news sent By telegraph all
over the state on the following morning.
and never was set of men 50 chopfallen
as was the Eecessionists, both IN and out
of the legislature. Lincoln, Gen. Scott
and republican congress were bitterly
denounced for the gross outrage upon
the above general. Upon repairing to
the barracks, Gen. Sumner found thous-
auds of arms and sccoutrements stored
there, of which no loyal man in the state
had any knowledge. The presumption
was that they were the quota which had
been sent to California in the grand dis
tribution Of Buchanan's cabinet, prepsr-
story to the organization OF the rebel
lion, aud that Gen. Johnston had been
placed In command, with instructions to
aid in carrying the state into rebellion.
This secret was undoubtedly in the
possession Of democratic members Of the
Legislature. Gen. Sumner at once re-
shipped the surplus arms and ammuni-
ton TO Washington, where they were
so much needed in the early days of the
war, and Gen. Johnston went to south
ern California. where Hancock has been
to have been stationed, organ
lied a company of secession sympa-
thisers, stole an equipment of arms
from the state, marched across
continent, Joined the Confederate army
and was killed ststhe,bst of Shiloh.
That is how California was saved to the
Union, and in the affair Gen. Hancock
took no part, nor was he known there
then as a man of any prominence, if
known at all.

escape to the woods, about five miles dis

accounts, he was surrounded by soldiers
to prevent his escape. His capture is ex.
pected every moment, and it is believed
that when caught he will be shot.
