A BANKRUPT STATE.-A twenty.
year resident of Nevada gives sur.
prlsing and desparing account Of the
present status Of that State. The pro.
digious mining interests, which have
for the last twenty.years constituted
its attraction and wealth, have come
to stand-still. The Comstock lode,
out of which s4OO,0OO,O00 of gold aud
100000 of silver have been OK
tracted, though not exhausted OF the
rich deposits, is now worked with
such difficulty Lnd expense that unless
free coinage law can be PASSED, the
mines will have to be abandoned. The
colossal wealth drawn from the golden
mountain OF silver and gold has been
concentrated in the hands of few
men. The State itself has had little
benefit. With the collapse of the MN:
ing business everything else that hith-
erto prospered the people Of this State
seems TO have como TO q stand.still.
Grazing, which for time occupied a
large part of the inhabitants, has now
come to an end, Colorado inviting that
particular form Of wealth getting Un-
der those depressing conditions the
10000 people inhabiting the fourteen
counties into which the State is divided
are discussing the question of how to
meet the expensive luxury of State
government. The taxes on bullion
and cattle raising have hitherto proved
sufficient, but now that these re.
sources are at an end, the handful of
people find the burden too great to
bear. As it is not in the power of the
Federal Government TO annul the ex.
istence Of State, there is strong talk
of annexing the fourteen counties TO
California, or returning to Territorial
condition. All the wealth of the State
is owned by citizens Of California. Her
Senators have always been residents. of
San Francisco, and the former alterfa-
tiveseems the most likely to be adopted.

Arrears act for IL has paid out in
pensions, from the year 1864 TO the
year 1880, inclusive, over four hundred
and fifty million dollars.
1t may be suggested that the start
ling figures of the cost Of the Arrears
act are only coniectural. But com.
munication from Commissioner Bent.
ley to the Senate gives them in detail,
with all the facts that support them,
and this is the result:
Amount Of arrears to old pen

Annual pensions to 1875 200 new
2si $4,000 90

This amount is chargeable solely to
the Arrears act of March ? 1879. To
it must be added the figm>- of the al
ready vast annual pension roll as 1t
previously existed.
Public Indignation may well be ex.
cited TO learn from the Commissioner
that he believes that one dollar in
every ten paid on fraudulent claims !;
yet Congress, in voting enormous sums,
has thus far not even attempted to fer
ret out the old frauds or to check the
now ones.-NeD York Sun.

The Nominations To-day.
MR.. HOwE's NAME DOES NOT TURN UP-wHAT Is
SAID ABOUT 1T.


SAID ABOUT 1T.
The impatience of the Senators to get away man
ffeSted itself on all sides to-day. The length OF the
session Of course depended upon the Cabinet NOM
nations, and hence the desire of the Senators to
have these nominations before proceeding with
executive business. When Secretary Pruden ap-
peared at the main door there was general ext
preston Of relief it being at concluded thaS
he had the much-deSired nominations. There was
some surprise created by the absence of Mr.. Howes
name from the list. Up to yesterday the friends
OF Mr.: Howe Were confident that he would
be nominated for Attorney General, and that the
uncertainty in regard to Secretary Of the Treas
ury was the only reason for the delay in sending
in his name The absence Of Mr.. HOweS name
from the list of nominations was undoubtedly a
serious disappointment to those who had sup
ported him, and they Immediately lost faith in his
ultimate appointment 1t was reported that the
President had abandoned Mr. Howe and taken up
new man: Another report was that Solicitor
General Phillips will be designated acting Attor-
ney General until next winter, when an appoint
ment will be made. 1t Was also said that the
President had been convinced that Attorney Gen.
eral MacVeagh ought, in justice to the administra-
tion, to remain and conduct the star route prose-
cutions, and that he had determined to make
another effort to persuade Mr.. MacVeagh to
remain.

The Attorney GeneraIshfp.

The delay in the appointment OF Attorney Gen.
eral has not, it appears, grown out OF any inde-
cision as to the selection of man to fill the place,
but out OF circumstances surrounding the ONCE.
Mr. Howe does not desire to accept the appointment
with the star route prosecutions as legacy from
his predecessor. Ordinarily this would not be an
objection, but there are circumstances that might
be peculiarly embarrassing to MIR. Howe. His SON.
fn-law, Col. Enoch Totten. is one OF the counsel
for the defense, and Howe's friends feared that
should he accept the Office and fail to convict these
cases. the failure might give rise to imputations
that his son-tn-law had Influenced him. For this
reason the President was informed
that Mr. Howe would prefer not to
accept the appointment at present. One OF
the most prominent supporters of Mr.. Howe in
formed STAR reporter this afternoon that he was
confident OF the latters appointment eventually;
That che President is deSirOuS Of having the star
route cases conducted through by those who be-
gan them, and will therefore endeavor to persuade
MacVeagh to remain in Office until
these eases are concluded; that II MacVeagh re-
fuses then an al interim appointment will be
made, and Mr.. Howe win take the Office after
awhile.
