The national banks which were in
such hot haste to surrender portion of
their circulation as soon as the Funding
bill passed Congress, are now anxious to
take the back-track, and to have their ap-
plication for the retirement of their cir
culation cancelled. The timely veto Of
President Hayes, which the bankers did
not expect, wholly changed the aspect of
affairs; hence this action to resume their
former status. Bankers, like other peo-
pie, should never cry until they are hurt.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH Is, 1881,

THE. staiwart ranks in the United
States Senate, which have recently been
depleted by death and Cabinet appoint
ments. will receive a welcome and valua-
BILE accession by the sensible decision OF
the Wisconsin Legislature to return the
Hon. Angus Cameron to the seat that he
has occupied with so much credit for the
last years. The contest has been very
determined one, but, like all of the Sen
atoriaI struggles this winter, has ended
tremendously, and to the good OF the
State and the country. While Mr.. Cam
eron is not a man of many words, his IN
fluence in the Senate has been large, and
as a member of the Committee on Prlvl-
leges and Elections he received the man
tie that fell from the shoulders OF Ollver
P. Morton, and did the country great
service by the mastery way in which he
managed the Republican interests in the
memorable contests which resulted i'll the
seating of Senators kellogg and Butler.
Mr.. Cameron is working man, and SIX
wears of Senatorial life were never buster
than those he has spent in Washington.
He has won the respect of his political
opponents and the warmest regards of his
associates, and his return to the Senate,
after the absence of only few days, will
meet with genuine pleasure and cordial
Generalization. Ocean.

rur Ell. Monntain Pilot mn


The Elk Mountain Pilot, pub
lished at Irwin, Gunnison coun-
ty, Colorado, in a write-up of
the mineral resources of that
district has this to say: General
Sayles lode, in silver basin, has
a shaft sunk II feet deep on a
well defined crevice, with a pay
streak IL inches wide which
runs away up in the hundreds.
1t is reported that its mineral
has given a mill run of 500
ounces per ton. THIS claim is
owned by a Texas company.
1t is well timbered, has a good
shaft house and miners quarters,
and work is being pushed vigor-
ously under the supervision of
]. w. Sayles, who is wintering
on the property. Tenderfoot
is an exteHtion of the General
Sayles. 1t is a three foot vein,
upon which a shaft has bern
sunk II feet. 1t carries galcna
and pyrites of iron, with brittle
silver, and at a depth Of 8 feet
assayed 40 ounces per ton.
Work on this claim is being
pushed. 1t is the property of
DR.. Read and Chas. Stevens.
Alabama, shows same mineral
as the Tenderfoot and has the
same amount of work and is
owned by the same parties.

) RETURNED WITH MANY THANKS.
1t is related by the Chicago
Tribune that a young man in
Boston fell violently in love with
Chicago girl who visited that
city, and endeavored to take
her to Bunker Hill monument,
Joe Cooks lectures, the semi
annual meeting of the Massa-
chusetts State Association for
the Diffusion OF knowledge Con-
corning Pre-Adamite Man, and
other edifying but Inexpensive
resorts, to express the affection
he was too hashful to declare.
After the young lady had re-
tuned to her native hearth, on
Elizabeth street, she received a
letter from the Boston person,
and answered it as follows I:
Dear Henry-You ask if l re-
turn your love. Yes, Henry, I
have nc use for it, and return it
with many thanks

One-Ideaed People.

When persons become imbu-
ed with an idea 1t Is almost USE
less TO waste time in arguing
with them. Texas, and every
other state in the union, has a
number of people who are i'm
bued with the idea that legisla-
ton is the panacea for all the
evils that beset mankind. To
this end they have succesded
in getting Sunday law on the
statutes that permits, by special
exception, the running of rail-
road trains on Sunday and
closes barber-shops and bath
houses. The Sunday law por-
ton of the community would
strain at a gnat and swallow a
camel. We want a Sunday law
that will protect the churches
and prevent people from being
disturbed at public worship.
The people will observe Sum
day of their own accord, but
legislation will fail to accom-
plish it. The members of the
present legislature can have
ocular demonstration of the eff
ficiency Of the Sunday law at the
capital. If the Galveston News
had not made the assertion that
legislators, especially Texas leg
islators do not drink, we would
suggest that the bibulogs portion
of our legislature wet their whis-
ties at the Austin saloons as
regularly on Sunday as on other
days, perhaps more regularly,
having more time to drink.
Perhaps all this is very wrong,
but still it is a fact, and the fact
that legislation is powerless to
keep legislators from drinking
on Sunday and violating the
Sunday law. We also think
that the Galveston News was
speaking in an ironical or Pick
wickian sense when it said that
Legislators were all teetotalers.
Mora! suasion will accomplish
much that legislation is ut
tc-lr, powerless to do. The
moral education Of The people is
the staFting point. All do not
think alike and it is perhaps.
owing to this fact that we ha

ELECTIONS.

has been universal complaint
of the slowness with which cleo
ton returns came in after an
election. In some precincts in
this county it takes the election
officers twenty-four and some
times thirty hours to count the
votes after the polls are closed,
| and the election officers are
only allowed 81 each for their
labor. Knowing the amount Of
work to be done and the time
required to do it every man who
can manufacture a sccond-class
excuse tiles to avoid the duty.
After general election every
body wants to know the result
as speedily as possible, yet in
many counties it takes full
week and sometimes longer be-
fore the people know who they
have elected for county officers.
When an election has been
closely contested this is very
annoying. Hon. L. S. Ross, of
McLennan county, has intro
duced a bill to provide for
counting of ballots as they are
cast, The bill is to amend the
present election law and pro-
vides that before the opening
ofthe polls the presiding officer
or manager of election shall
designate two clerks as receiving
clerks and the remaining two as
counting clerks; there is to be
also two receiving judges and
two counting judges. The re-
ceiving clerks and judges re-
ceive the ballots and deposit
them in the ballot box in the
usual manner. Two ballot box
es are provided and one hour
after the polls have been open
ed the first ballot box is turned
over to the counting judges and
clerks who at once proceed to
count the ballots received; while
the count is being made ballots
are being received and deposit
edin the second ballot box. As
soon as the first installment of
ballots are counted, box num-
Der one being emptied is sub
stituted for box number two
and the count of ballots in it is
continued; by this means the
count begins an hour after the
opening Of the polls and contin-
uiug during the day, there are
but few ballots left to be coun-
ted after the polls close. BY
this means the result of the vote
is known an hour or two after
the voting is over and the cleo
ton officers are relieved Of the
very disagreeable duty of sit
ting up all night to count votes
by candle-light. The number
of officers of election is dou-
bled, but they have only about
half as much work as under the
present system and are to be
paid only one dollar for an cleo
ton instead of two as at present.
The bill is a good one and
should by all means become
law.
