The Senate, on Friday, before adjourning
rejected the nomination of Hon. W. E. Chan
dler to be Solicitor General-every Democrat
voting against him. The reason for this was
purely political, the Southern Senators re-
garding Mr.. Chandler as too much of a par
tizan for the important discharge of the duties
which devolve upon the Solicitor General,
especially in election times. We think it quite
likely they took counsel of their prejudices
rather than Of their reason, and that Mr.. Chan
dler, had he been confirmed, would have i'm
partially and efficiently met the responsible
ties of the position. The Attorney General
was opposed to the appointment, as he was to
its confirmation. This induced Senator Cameron
of Pa, to vote against 1.-THE only Republican
vote,-and Mr.. Mitchell not to vote at ALL

There are more national bank notes now III
circulation than ever before in the history OF
the system. This follows the demands of bu-
siness and demonstrates the excellence of the
national banking system. The circulation may
be expanded as business increases, and con-
tracted as business may require, so that there
need not be superabundance of paper circu-
lation to initiate values or wildly stimulate
speculation The banks will regulate their is
sues by the safest rule for the people and
themselves, and thus prevent any disturbance
in the volume of currency, such as would be
the case were the country dependent upon
greenbacks, and the necessities of denagogues
and partlzans inlegislating upon the subject
of the currency-having reference more to
party needs than business wants.

The revised New Testament has been put
on sale and millions of them in this coun
try and England passed into the households
OF the people. The Chicago papers last
Sabbath, published the new edition in full.
The ministers of various congregations in
the cities made it the theme OF their dis
course, most of them condemning many of
the changes which have been made 1t will
be long time before the old church men,
bers and Bible rea ders, who have become
familiar with the old edition will surrender
it or admit of the necessity Of a change in
the language of the lines and verses which
have been modified. 1T presumed, how
ever that the distinguished scholars, Amer
lean and European, who were assigned the
work of making the revision. knew what
they were doing, and that after ten years
of laborious application, the result of their
studies and labors will be accepted by many
without question.

President Garfield did the handsome
thing, when he returned to the Senate the
New York nominations he had Withdrawn
until the final disposition of the case OF
Judge Robertson. All were friends of Sen,
ator Conkling and all were returned except
two, against whom charges affecting their
character had been preferred after their
nominations were first made. This shows
that there was no personal feeling of ami
mostly to Senator Conkling or his friends
which induced the withdrawal. 1t was only
to put all on an equal footing. and for the
Senate to take action on them in confirm
ing or rejecting.

will stand or fall together, as their cause is the

The news from Albany is not favorable to

for resigning as good, and have no idea

respected, they will be taken at their word.
The attack of the Bourbon press of Vir
ginia upon Gen. Malone because he voted for
the confirmation of the nomination OF Hon.
W. E. Chandler for Solicitor General ,betraysa
bitterness that can find countenance with no
fair minded men. Mr.. Chandler is an able
and an honest man. 1t is true, he is an ag-
gressive politician in politics, but that does not
justify the conclusion that he would not do
even handed justice where the duties OF any
position he might hold required it. Gen. Ma
hone could have just as consistently voted
for Mr. Chandler's confirmation as Judge
Robertson's, which was supported by most
every Democratic Senator. This kind of zeal
overleaps itself, and instead of having the eff
feet to injure Gen. Malone will help him.
There has never been known in Virginia or
elsewhere such radical radicalism, as is shown
by the Bourbon press Of Virginia when dis
cussing politics Chambers radicalsm is
nothing to compare with it.

Keeping His RECENT.

The Sacramento Bee says that a ludicrous
and unusual exhibition Of true Hibernian
carefulness in business transactions was
brought to the surface by an attorney in
this city recently. The attorney received
a letter from a fellow-professional of San
Francisco, asking his aid in the collection
of a small amount due a Bay City gentle
man from a mechanic residing here. The
amount had been loaned five or six years
ago in the East to enable the mechanic to
reach this State. When waited on at his
place of employment, a day or SO ago in re-
gard to the matter, the brawny son of the
hammer and rivet was astounded to find
himself still charged with that amount.
He declared the man who had favored him
to be one Of his best friends, and for whom
he had the most exalted feelings of esteem
and gratitude; that he had borrowed the
amount, but had also refunded it by postal
order from this city many months since,
and that he held the receipt for il at home.
Being requested to produce the receipt for
the satisfaction of all concerned. he did so
at an appointed time. Depict, if possible,
the vacant, blank stare and astonished ex-
preston of that countenance when the
hardy man of muscle was told he had been
carefully keeping the postal order itself as
his receipt for the money he had paid to
the Postoffice, instead of forwarding it to
his creditor and benefactor! To say that
he was knocked breathless does not ex-
press the condition of the situation. He
had been keeping that postal order in his
trunk for just one year and four months
He could only request the attorney to re-
spect his feeling Of the ridiculous by say.
ing nothing about it, as it was the first
money of that kind he had ever handled,
and to assure his friend that he would take
the first opportunity to call on him and ex
plain the entire matter.

Gave Himself

John T. Baker gave himself away yes
terday on the British flag that foated from
the Courthouse the other morning. When
taken down the flag was deposited in the
sheriff's office. Yesterday John appeared
and claimed II as his own, thus virtually
pleading guilty to the charge OF having
thrown 1t to the breeze. 1t is thought
that he had assistance, and on close inspec-
ton Of the manner In which the bunting
was tackled to the pole, II was concluded
that q shoemaker had q hand In the bust
ness. The circumstantial evidence is
therefore strong against Colonel Caravan.
II II should turn out that the Colonel has
taken up the standard OF Her Majesty. he
will probably be rewarded for his loyalty
with . wheelbarrow job on the new rail-
road o. soon as Michael Donahue Foley
gets back from the Bay.

Another Albion Defeat.

The game of ball on Sunday drew a good
attendance, the day being one of the pleas
ATTEST OF the season. The contest, though
not a very brilliant one, was nevertheless
quite interesting, and but for the tedious
waits after the foul tips, which invariably
sent the sphere spinning a hundred yards
off, it would have been made exciting.
The Albions led up to the fifth inning,
when some hard hitting on the part Of the
Richmonds and bad fielding by the Albions,
reversed the game in favor of the British
company's minions. The v~ictors, how
ever, missed Hardigsn, who played such a
splendid game at third the previous Sun
day. Lambert, who occupied his place,
was badly off, and almost left the bag to
take care Of itself. Both Rowan and Rox-
burg played CALAMITY, and caught their
respective pitchers without finching
throughout the long contest. Appended is
a complete score of the game, which, We
hope, we will be enabled to present regu-
larly hereafter. 1t will give a record
to the players, and they will be more apt
to avoid carelessness when their errors are
held ND to public view

Grading Commenced On the Eureka

d COLORADO River Railroad Hester.
day.
There is 40 longer any doubt regarding
the construction Of the Eureka & Colorado
River Railroad. Ground was broken yes
terday up the canyon about three miles
south OF Eureka. Two gangs of men
we're set to work, one under the direction
Of Frank Baker and the other under
Johnny McNaughton. Frank says he is
building the Prairie Du Chem division Of
the road. The crews were rather small at
the beginning 10 the morning. The bosses
started with four men each. A little later
other men began to fall in, and before
night the total number had grown to 25.
p. N. Hansen has the contract for furnish
ing the men aud boarding them. He gets
So So i per day per man. He pays 81 so
per day wages, which leaves him 3d. cents
per man for their board. He had expected
to furnish rs men yesterday, but some of
the charcoal men managed to obstruct his
Italian labor, which left him short OF that
number. He is, however, getting matters
Strengthened out, and will have a much
stronger force to-day, and expects 10 in
crease the number to 200 by Saturday night.
Mr.. Hansen has tents along the line, and
is providing the men with good board.
At the main tent now established he has
two Chinese cooks and two Italians to wait
on the table. The grading was started
on the east side OF the canyon. not far
from the toll house. The graders are
working this way.
1t ia proper in this connection to state
that the road is being built, as the SENTI-
MEL is informed, by the Denver d Rio
Grande Company. The point Of connec-
ton with the latter road has not yet trans
pired. though it is supposed that they will
meet over in Utah in the vicinity of Iron
Mountain. The Eureka parties who in
| corporated the Eureka q Colorado River
Railroad Company disposed of their fran
| chise and contracts ome weeks since, re-
ceiving the sum of 5000 Particulars
| OF the sale and other matters connected
Herewith will appear in these columns at
an early day.
The rumor that jay Gould is furnishing
the capital for the building OF the Eureka
& Colorado River Railroad is not
| credited in railroad circles. Indeed, 1t Is
said that Gould has determined to build a
road Of his own direct from Stockton, Utah'
to Eureka. At least the SENTINEL is cred
| itably informed that Gould is disappointed
| because he did not secure the franchise of
| the Eureka 4 Colorado River Railroad for
use in his great Pacific Coast system .
| Should his disappointment carry him to
the extent of constructing a second road
from the eastward to Eureka we will be 30
much better off. But three railroads ter
minating at Eureka is q little more h
we can reasonably expect. We are lucky
to get two.
