United States Senator James G.. Fair ar
rived here yesterday from Virginia City
on his way to Washington, accompanied
by E. J. Coleman, United States Bank
Commissioner Many old acquaintance
met him at the depot. and were cordially
received by him. The Senator 10 . plain,
every-day.kind-o f-s-msn, wholly devoid Of
airs, and an untiring worker. He says ne
shall use every means ia his power to have
operations resumed ct the Carson Mint,
aud that he will endesvor to convince the
Postofice Department that the mail service
in the State should be incr eased for
the accommodation Of the people. He re-
pested what he asserted here last Spring
on his return from Washington, that there
is no danger Of silver coinage being sue-
pended. He expects to return to this
Coast in about three months, or sooner II
Congress sdjourns. and in the meantime
will do all he can at the national capital
for the interests Of the State. Urgent bus.
mess kept him in San Francisco. but had
there been . move against the silver inter-
est in Congress he should have fastened to
the capital regardless of consequences to his
personal affairs. 1t is the first time since
his election to the Senate that he has been
absent from Congress.

Gross Injustice.

A poet Of Colorado addresses Senator
Beck in the Courier-Journal as q "Proud
Knight with silver plumes." This does
the Senator q gross injustice. He is q
powerful, practical, common.sense man,
with no tinsel about him; all his pride is
in his country and his own honest devo-
ton to the public veal. Nothing is fur
Their from his style than to wear silver or
any other kind OF plumes.

II LAND OFFICE.
Ex.Minister Washburne Defends
Commissioners sparks.

Ex.Minfster Washburne Defenus
Commissioners sparks.
The Hon. E. B. Washburne, Ex-Ministef
to France, has written TO the editor OF q
Chicago paper warmly indorsing the ad-
ministration of the Land Office at Wash
ington by Commissioner Sparks, which he
says " is the subject Of many violent at
tacks by certain newspapers. as well as by
the st~ipendisries Of the land grant rail
roads," He says he sees nothing in MIR.
Sparks conduct to justify such attacks,
and he believes his decisions are substanti.
ally just and in accordance with law.
Persons effected should, he thinks, appeal
to Mr.. Lamer, he is confident they will
also be fairly treated, instead Of attacking
the Commissioner In newspapers. 1.-The
General Land Office" says Mr.. Wash
sburne, :" for the last Is years has according
to my Judgment, been the most corrupt
Department that ever existed In any
Government on the face Of the earth.
For years and years the land jobbers and
the lsnd-grabbers seemed 10 have had full
sway there, and it is quite time they were
rooted out. And / am glad that an Illionis
man like Mr.. Sparks has had the courage
to attack these s~tupenduous abuse, and to
attempt to recover for the benfit Of the
people at large some portion Of the pub
lie lands which have been obtained from
the sGoverment by the railroad companies.
Some say that a pressure has been made
upon the President and upon the Score
tary Of the Interior, Mr.. Lamar. and 1t
will be necessary for him TO be removed.
1t is impossible that such can be the case;
that an honest, faithful and incompatible
public officer should be bounded out Of
his place by the men whose action he has
exposed, and who Is making such laudable
efforts, as / think he Is, to get back for
the Government hundredslof millions Of
acres which have been literally filched
from II by the land-grabbing railroads."

Having q Good Time.

The manner In which James d. Fish.
the convicted ex-President OF the New
York Marine Bank, is paraded back and
forth between Auburn Prison and his for
mer home is scandslous in the extreme. He
was taken to New York TO testify as q
witness In the Ferdinand Ward trial,
and was treated more like q distinguished
visitor than o felon undergoing de-
served punishment for a heinous crime. He
was clothed in fashionable garb and kept in
luxurious quarters at q stylish hotel, at the
expense Of the taxpayers Of the city. How
many honest, deserving men walk the
streets OF New York to whom such
treatment and fare seem princely liv.
ing in comparison with their own hard lot
Fish is again in the metropolis as the guest
of its authorities, having beenusummoned
as . witness in q case pending In the
courts. Hell consigned to his old quarters,
consisting of a suite Of three rooms. where
he passes his time very comfortably and
luxuriously. Sunday he wished to take
q sleigh ride in Central Park, and only
the insuficiency OF the snow prevented his
entertainers from complying with his re-
quest at public cost. He dimes, with friends
and attendants, in the luxurious privacy Of
his hotel rooms. and s~cquaintsnces call and
help him to pass the hours pleasantly. Il
Is stated he ia to remain in New York
under these enjoyable circumstances for
two weeks,
