ED NEws:-The famous sewing machine
 case of Funk vs Gallivan has just been decid. ed in the Supreme Court in favor of Gallivan.
 The readers of the NEWS will remember that ! this case was tried before justice Edward s.
 Roberts in December, 1879. The contro-
 versy grew out O. lottery, set up by Beni.
 Comstock, to dispose of a sewing machine.
 No. fl drew the machine. Peter Funk and John Gallyan each claim to hold that number,
 but Gallivan presented his ticket first, and
 the machine was delivered to him. Funk then obtained bill of sale from Comstock,
 of the machine, and immediately brought a
 suit against Gallivan. A. T. Roraback of Canaan appeared for Funk, and Frank E.
 Cleaveland then ot Winsted, but now of Hartford, for Gallivan. The justice, after due consideration, decided the case in favor of Gallivan. Funk then appealed the case to the District Court, and it was tried before jury, who, under the charge of the court, were left no alternative but to decide in favor of Funk, which they accordingly did Gallivan's attorney however, differed with the judge, F. ,. Fyler, on the points of law in- volved in the case, and upon his advice the record was taken to the Supreme Court, where it was tried last May, Roraback and Gov. Andrews appearing for Funk, and Frank E. Cleaveland for Galiivan, which court has just decided that judge Fyler's charge to the jury Vas erro neous, and therefore advises a new trial. This sustains the decision of justice Roberts 2,

Stanley Matthews has been confirmed by
the Senate, as Associate Justice of the Su-
preme Court, by one majority He was
elected by the Democrats. In the judiciary
committee of the Senate, there was but one
person who voted for confirmation, Senator
lamar, of Miss. Messrs. Logan, Ingalls,,
Mcmillan and Davis, of ILL.,, opposed the
confirmation. The other members of the
committee, Conkling and Garland, were alb
sent. Notwithstanding the action of this
Judiciary committee by the aid of almost the
united vote of the Southern Senators, he was
confirmed, in opposition TO large majority
of the Republican party This is the most
unfortunate nomination the administration
has made. 1t was hoped that President
Garfield would profit by some of the follies
ana mistakes of Hayes, but the Ohio idea
seems to pervade the action of every Ohio
president. President Garfield ought not to
have nominated Mr.. Matthews after he had
been virtually showed out by the party, when
nominated by Hayes. Let the president and
the Democratic party be responsible for
forcing this shameless political tinle-server
upon the Supreme bench.

The resignation of Senators Cnnkling and
Platt was the most puerile act of their lives.
Simply because Mr.. Conkling could not have
his own way, he seeks to disrupt and destroy
the party. 1t is the rule or ruin" policy
youtly wished 10y every one who desires har-
mony and peace in the Republican ranks,
will be rather to destroy the power of the ar
rogant Conkling. He has become too large
TO be of any further service to the party. and
Senator fiatt is too small to ever attain any
great degree of eminenoe He is very small
tail that wags when Conlling winks. The
President is satisfied with the position which
he has taken and that the country is with
him. Their designations were evidently
made with the expectation that the legisla-
ture would Immediately re-elect them, and
thus he yindicated by the party in the State
of New York for the war they had waged
upon the administration. There are those,
however. who believe that their chances for
reelection are none of the best, and the news
of the acceptance of their resignation and
their defeat in the New York Legislature
would be received with qualification through
out the country

WHAT CONSTITUTES A MINE?
Not u Recorded Claim or Prospect
Hole.

Even many well-informed people-peo-
pie who invest money literally in mineral
property, or that which is its representa-
tive, have a very faint conception as to
what constitutes a mine. A recorded
claim is not a mine nor a mere prospect
hole, a deep shaft, a long tunnel, N in
cline, a drift, or even a mineralized vein, a
mine. 1t takes more than any one or all
OF these combined, at times, to form that
which may be dignifed with the name Of
''mine." In reality a mine is a vast store
house of primitive wealth i~mpregnated
amid the ponderous rocks. of successive
ages. 1t is placed there and ingeniously
distributed by the mighty hand of gener-
Gus nature, which has chemically disinte-
grated, gathered, garnered and blended the
various particles by means of vast forces
to us unknown and unmeasured. This
great depository cannot be unlocked with
out the deft keys of subtle science and
well-directed labor. To secure these indis-
pensable auxiliaries involves liberal ex-
p~enditures Of money, which, when proper
ly applied, almost invariably bring a rich
return in the way Of compensation for in
vestment. In this connection it may be
truly remarked that a good mine is a piece
of property that has tangible value, and is
not likely to be disposed of gratuitously.
Mineralized lodes and shafts, such as coun-
try rock can yield, can always be pur-
chased in quantities to suit, and at prices
which look low but good mines that pay
to develop must, in the very nature OF
things, remain scarce, and when found the
public will be obliged to pay for them
price which may look large, but which in
the end will prove much less in proportion
to returns secured. In a few words, the
whole matter may be summed up that what
is apparently a good mine has virtually q
standard value, as much as any article Of
merchandise placed upon the market.

THOSE Low GRADE ORES.
What n Virginia Man Thinks of
the Proposition to Break Up the
Union.

What n Virginia Man Thinks of
n Proposition to Break Up the
Union.
A Virginia City correspondent writing
to the Carson Appeal, says
In a recent issue Of your paper you state
that an attempt is to be made to burst the
Comstock Labor Unions. / can tell all
parties who are scheming for such a thing
that their work will be in vain. The
workingmen Of this community are united,
and il any attacks are made upon their
organizations, they will stand shoulder to
shoulder and foot to foot, ready to do their
duty in any emergency.
The attempt to crush the Mechanics
Union settled that question. The Unions
cannot be destroyed. This is because they
are right. They are only standing for their
Just dues as men and citizens. The privi-
lege Of self-protection is God-given.
/ would like to say something about the
low grade ore talk. There is nothing in it.
Every mar Of sense knows that the amount
OF low grade ore that can be reached on
the Comstock ia too small to be considered
for a moment. The twas deposits" that
some Of the strikers pirate about do not
exist. The man who says they do Ii either
a liar or a fool. This is strong language,
but I know what l am talking about.
After all, the amount or quantity of ore
in q Comstock mine has little to do with
| the direct profit Of working it. Every man
| with common business knowledge knows
| that the Bonanza firm has made more
money from stock transactions than from
| reducing the ore Of the Big Bonanza. 1t
must be remembered that these men never
cared to hold any large amount OF the
| stock of these dividend-paying mines so
long as they were allowed to control the
| business. If they had been compelled to
| rely upon the dividends which these mines
paid, they would to this day have remained
comparatively poor.
The famous ore bodies were never worked
| for the advantage of the stockholders.
They were used as deeoy ducks to bring
the silly people under the range Of the
monopoly guns. -.
II these things be true, and no candid
man can deny them, let US have q rest on
| this talk about reducing the wages of men
| who work and who have created whatever
prosperity the country has enjoyed.
