THE VETO.
What Cassidy, Fair and ROsecrans
said about IL.

AAos SNHShhJ otH "bu ~
said About IL.
The Washington dispatches to the San
Francisco Chronicle show with what dis
gust the Pacific Coast delegation received
the Presidents veto of the Anti Chinese
bill. Senator Fair and Congressman Cas-
sidy are reported as having expressed
themselves in the following terms. Said
Senator Fair:
1.-THE veto will be looked upon as very
hard treatment on the part OF the Presi-
dent, more especially as it was unex-
pected. The pee ole OF h coast had
hoped to be rid Q. the curse Of Chinese
immigration and servile labor, but this
one-man power wipes ii all away, and not
only makes it hard for the people to en-
dure it, but it increases the bitter disap-
pointment. We have endured this thing
90 years, and this bill was looked upon as
the Moses of our relief. The disappoint-
ment is too much for human nature to
endure"
Cassidy said my idea on this veto Is
this The controlling idea Of Mr.. Arthur
is that he shall be his own Presidential
successor, and he makes every move in that
direction. He has concluded that he
would make more by catering to the wealth
and sentiment Of the East than to the
practical question In the West. President
Arthur should not have considered the
question OF expediency. but disposed Of
the principle involved In the bill, which
was not only important on the Pacific
Coast, but over the entire country"
General Rosecrans, who was standing
near, remarked have heard all that
Cassidy has said on the entire question. I
vote aye and indorse what he says. The
people Of the Pacific Coast are getting
tired Of this and won't stand 1t much
longer. / don't know exactly what will be
done. am for 10 years il l can't make it
20, and shall strive all l can to secure it.
1t is pretty tough, but the veto will help
the Democrats"

Gazette reporter at Reno, tho other day.
that while testing some green looking rock
he found no copper, but o base OF nickel

veins Of ore, one almost black by being

only other mines known only work be-
tween 2 and AZ per cent. His mine has
been developed by nature itself, az old,

A correspondent OF the Bodie Free
Press writes about some old-time Nevada
gamblers, whom all those who lived on the
Comstock in early days remember well.
He says: I have just read an article in your
valuable paper, headed "The Arizona
Vendetta" taken from the Daily Exchange.
The last part OF IL is quite in
Virginia City was Billy Brown. He
was killed BY Sam Brown in Put Robson's
saloon-shot across the billiard table. Sam
Brown was afterwards killed by vansickle.
The mar who was shot in Pat Lynch's a.
loon, sitting in q chair. was Jack Williams.
He was shot by Dave McQee with q shot
gun. The latter hred from a back door.
MCGEE afterwards went to Carson on his
way to California and that night Al.
Waterman, Johnny DAILY and Jack Harris
went to throw dice to see who would kill
him. Before throwing and arguing who
should throw first, Al. Waterman picked
up the gun and said: "Boys, I will
60 and fix him." He went down to
the Magnolia Saloon and shot him
through the window. McGee was lying
on q table. Johnny Daily left for Au-
rora, where in q short time he was hanged
by the V~igilantes. AL Waterman was
killed ini Virginia in the Apollol Saloon,
by Goodman, a gambler, with whom he
had a previous difficulty, and Jack Harris
died in Phoebe. Jack Williams was a po-
liceman In Virginia, and was shot for
"standing in" with McGumber in killing
Tom Ruder, and his friends retaliated by
killing MCGEE. These are the facts in the
Naea.

Opinion of the Republican Press
0f Navaha


Almost without exception the Republi-
can journals Of Nevada nave condemned
the action Of President Arthur. The Car
son Index makes an effort to vindicate
him, which has rather the sound Of an
apology. 1t says:
Many OF our people evince an anxiety TO
place President Arthur in the accidental
category Of Presidents, on account Of his
veto Of the Chinese bill. We are inclined
to concede, however, that his veto Of the
measure is no accident. The Pacific Coast
has yet to educate itself ON the Chinese
question, and then to educate the East.
This will be received as news ON the
Coast. The Index would confer a favor
upon our people to intimate to them in
what way they may inform themselves on
the subject.-ED. SENTINEL.
Our voice is still for President Arthur,
although the disappointment of the Pacific
Coast on the present occasion is extreme.
1t is useless, says the Gold Hill News,
for President Arthur to attempt a justif-
cation OF his course in vetoing the Anti
Chinese bill. He has carefully consid-
cred his action; and elects to favor capital
to the extent Of expressing labor, and has
been guilty of q gross abuse Of the veto
power. The pressure brought to bear
upon him by the corporations and senti-
mentalists Of the East has been too great
to resist. He has ignored the appeal Of
nearly every citizen Of the Pacific Coast,
and has seen fit to array his opinion in an
tagonism to those of nearly two-thirds Of
the members of Congress, to crafty the
sordid avarice Of q fraction of the popu-
lation of our country, because they repre-
sent wealth, have no interests in common
with labor, and are not affected by the
evilo Chinese competition. To his eter-
nal disgrace, and to the everlasting shame
of his stalwart advisers, the accidental
President Of these United States has ve-
toed the Anti Chinese bill. Another stall
wart victoryl
Says the Enterprise: Enough of the
substance OF the message is, however, be-
fore us to make us feel the twinge OF Gui-
teau's bullet and to realize that a very
diminutive intellect exercises control over
the destiny Of the Great Republic.
But the Custom-house officer who was 40.
~cidentally precipitated to the surface at
Chicago, and who administers this great
government only because an assassin
cleared the way for him in blood, has
shown US his unftness to cope with a great
question. 4 \ \ Arthur has only revealed
himself to be a contemplate pettifogger in
his treatment of this grave question. He
has utterly failed to grasp the broad. econ
omic and social principles which underlie
the subject"

An Improved Fire Arm.

At present the Springfield rife is the
standard 10 the United States, and al
though many attempts have been made to
improve upon IT by ambitious inventors,
none have yet been successful. We are Of
the impression. says the Ruby Hill News,
that 10 a Eureka man will belong the credit
Of improving this time-honored weapon.
Joe Hausman, the well known gunsmith,
showed to our reporter the other day the
model OF a new rife lock which he has
lust perfected, which, in estimation,
will supersede all others so far invented in
respect to simplicity and rapidity OF ac-
ton. Joe has been working upon this
model for several months past. and has
now applied for q patent upon 1t. The
main feature Of the invention consists in
the rapid election Of the exploded car
fridge. In the Springfield rifle Ave mo-
tions are required to eject the shell and
load, whereas in Hausman's lock but two
motions are ne~cessary-the simple cooking
OF the hammer doing the work. Aside
from this, the lock in construction Is sim
plicity itself, and can, by simply turning a
screw half round, be exposed for clean
ing, The invention Is without doubt an
excellent one, and we advise our gun
sharps TO examine II.
