XLVI CONGRESS.
SENATE.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21


Mr.. Cameron, of Pennsylvania,
presented various petitions, and
among others, one frC n the citizens
of West Chester, Penn, for action
to prevent the encroachment of
white settlers upon the Indian Ter
ritory. &c, and to protect the In
dians in the enjoyment of all their
rights.
Mr.. Logan, from the committee on
military affairs, reported, with two
amendments, Senate bill to place
General Grant on the retired list.
He thought there could be no OBJ
jectiops to the bill, and asked it's
Immediate consideration.
Mr.. Edmunds objected, but upon
being appr;sed of the character of
the bill, said the bill was one of such
special and peculiar interest that he
withdrew his objection with pleasure.
Mr.. Logan said the amendments
of the committee consisted in the
addition of provision that the gen.
eral may be required to do active
service, and another that would pre-
vent his inte. ,ering with any officer
of similar /. *.
Mr., Randolph, chairman Of the
committee from which the bill ha6
been reported, said here was not a
full meeting when the bill was acted
upon in the committee this morning.
and the report had been made only
by a majority of those present. He
asked that the bill and amendments
be laid over and printed.
Mr.. Logan said the measure pre-
sented only one question, thai of adj
mitting Gen. Grant to the retired
list, and this was one upon which
Senators did not need much time for
reflection as to how they would vote.
Mr.. Herman called for the printing
of the bill, as there were amend
ments to it. A single objection being
sufficient to lay it over, the subject
was disposed of with the statement
by Mr.. Logan that he would call up
the bill at the next meeting of the
Senate.
Mr.. Logan, from the committee
on military affairs, reported favora
bly, the Senate bill to authorize the
Secretary of War to grant the use Of
certain land at Fortress Monroe,
Va, for the erection of hotel.
The Rollins bill to determine
whether the New Hampshire legis-
lature of 1880 or the one 1882 shall
elect the next United States Senator
occupied the remainder of the morns
ing hour.
| Mr.. Edmunds offered an amend
| ment giving definite construction
to the language of the statute gov
erning the subject and making the
bill applicable.

SEVERE STORM.

New YORK, Jan. 21.-The storm
last night and this morning was
very severe in this city, though no
serious damage is reported to life Or
property. Travel of all kinds was
interrupted, especially ferrys and
connecticg railroads. In Central
park and Madison and Union
squares the weight of ice broke off
heavy branches Of the trees, render
ing it dangerous for pedestrians
to pass beneath them. The
telegraph wires are down in
all parts Of the city, blocking the
street cars and causing, at times, in-
te1ruption to the elevated railway.
The mails coming to this city to-
day were delayed to a great extent
by the storm. The falling of thou
sands of telegraph wires throughout
the city to-day caused great incon-
venience to business men and loss to
various telegraph companies. The
Western Union people say that
to-days storm would cause greater
loss to the company than one of the
same kind which visited the city in
January, 1873. The Gold & Stock
and Metropolitan companies have
also suffered severely. No accidents
of any kind have been reported at
the police headquarters to-day, ow-
ing to the fact that the wires
connecting with nearly all of
the station houses were down.
The fire department wires are
down and it is impossible to get the
alarm of fire from any quarter. Ar
rangements have been made with the
police to run to the nearest engine
house in case of fire and give the
alarm. Most of the streets are
blocked up with broken telegraph
wires. The trains on the elevated
railroads make but slow progress.
having to stop every now and then
to cut the wires which block the
track. The telegraph companies are
making no attempts to repair the
wires, but men are out looking after
them and securing them. A portion
OF the rear wall of a building on
Nassau street, where a number of
wires were fastened, was torn out.
Business at the produce, cotton and
other exchanges was almost sus-
pc aded tosday, owing to the great
storm. The Metropolitan Telephone
Company is greatly damaged, and its
officers state that great inconven-
fence will no doubt be experienced
in business circles from the inter
ruDtiOn of its service.

Piper's Opera House.

The season of opera, opened by
the Melville Company on Wednes-
day, has been phenomenal sue
cess. Tue crowded houses which
have greeted each successive opera
testify the appreciation Virginia
City people have for first class
musical entertainment. The audi
ence on the opening night was the
most brilliant ever seen in Piper's
Opera House, and Les Cloches de
Bonneville" was given in a manner
that approached very nearly to the
ideal of dramatic and musical per-
fiction. Thursday night the COM
pany presented the " Royal Mildly"
which was followed on Friday ev-
ening by Madame Favart." At
the matinee this afternoon Boo

this is the strongest and best opera
that the company appears in, the
people of Lyon county will do
we'll to improve the opportunity
by attending the matinee this af-
ternoon. George Barton will delay

ported nothing sufficiently explicit
in that respect to enable this court
to then act. Since the report Of
that grand jury it has been pub
licly stated thas these sections of
this statute have been violated. If
you should find that this law has
been violated by any of the county
officers Of this county they should
be proceeded against by you for
such violation. If, upon the other
hand, you tiud that this law has
not been violated, you should so re-
port to the court so that none of the
county officers of this county may
rest under any imputation of viola
ting law when they are innocent.
Section 70 Of this statute is as fol-
lows: at shall not be lawful for any
officer of State or member of the Leg
| isature, Alderman, ar member Of the
Common Council of any city in this
State, or for the Trustees of any city,
town, or village, or for any County
| Commissioner of any county, to be-
come a contractor under any contract
or order for supplies, or any other
kind of contract, authorized by or for
the State, or any department thereof,
or the Legislature, or either branch
theIeof, or by or for the Aldermen
or Common Council, Board of Trus-
tees, or Board of County Commits
siOners of which he is member, or

rectly or indirectly, az principal, in
any kind OF contract so authorized
To constitute a violation Of the
provisions of this section by a CoGn-

tractor under contract or order for
supplies authorized by the Board of
! County Commissioners Of which he

1t is the opinion of the court that
if County Commissioner of this
county makes an absolute sale of
property to private individual, and
such private individual should, I'M
der any contract or order for sup
plies authorized by the Board of
County Commissioners Of this coun-
ty, sell such property to this county,
without such County Commissioner
being in any manner interested in
such contract between the private in
d vidual and the county, it would
not constitute violation of section
rs of this statute. In other words, if
County Commissioner sells prop
erty ont and out - private person.
then it makes no difference what
such person may do with it; he may
sell it to the county or to any one,
and such sale, if made to the county
by such private person, would not be
a violation of the provisions of sec
lion 70 of this statute by the County
Commissioner.

Cheap Trout,

AS soon as the Carson and Colo
RADIO Railroad reaches the Walker
Lake Indian Reservation, trout will
be shipped into Dayton free of
charge. 1t appears that, when the
railroad company treated for the
right of way through the reservation,
the Indians agreed to receive, in full
pay, the sum of 800 and the right to
ship, free over the road, forever, any
fish or other produce which they
might wish to bring to market, be-
tween Hawthorne and the Mound
House. If this report be true, Day
ton will soon become the fish market
for the Comstock, and trout will be
selling for FIVE cents pound.

A SOW IN THE FURNACE.
Why the Ludwig Smelling Works
We're Shut DOwn--The Ore Tn.
doubtedly Free Smelling.

uOuDteuIl Free SiheilIHS.
The new smelling furnace at the
Ludwig copper mlne, at Walker
river, was started up the other day,
and worked for three hours, when
- "sown was caused by the breaking
of the water jacket, and the fur
mace bad 10 be allowed to cool in
order to admit of working on it.
These " sows" are very annoying
10 smelters generally, and seldom
fail to occur in new furnaces unless
those IN charge are old hands at
the business. When " SOW" does
occur in a furnace lin Eureka the
furnaces are said TO be frozen"
when in that condition). the fire
must be extinguished, the furnace
allowed to get cold, and men are
compelled to go into it and break
up the molten mass with chisels,
drills and sledge hammers. Some
times even blasting powder must
be used, and in such cases the fur
mace is frequently so shattered as
to be unfit for use. The SOW"
in the Ludwig furnace was prob
ably an easy one to remove, and
the furnace is certainly running
again by this time. When the fire
was let down the furnace had been
running three hours, aud had AL
ready yielded enough copper to
make five bars or ingots averaging
1876 pounds each. This is quite sat
isfactory, so far as il goes, as it
demonstrates that the copper ore of
the Ludwig mine can be smelted
easily.
