TUE COUNTY DEBT-We have aseertained
from the Board of Supervisors that the debt of
the county, outstanding in scrip, including that
issued, and to be issued in rebuilding the Court
House. is about $4,000. In addition to this,
the bonds of the county, issued under an act of
the Legislature approved April 25th 1885, for
building the Court House, amount to $3O,OOO
AS the payment of these bonds at maturity,
however, is specially provided for, and sepa-
rate fund created by a tax on the real and per-
sonal property within the county, it is not pro-
per to include them as a part of the county
debt to be met from the ordinary sources of rev.
enue.
The whole available revenue of the county to
meet this Indebtedness of $34, 900 and to defray
the current expenses of the county government,
for the present year amounts to over $4,000,
and will unquestionably be increased for the
next year. This amount of income will of itself,
with an economical administration of our coun-
ty affairs, very soon enable the Board of Super
vlsors to redeem the amount of Indebtedness,
now incurred. If our scrip is now selling in
the market at the low figure named by the
Journal, it cannot be for want of confidence in
the ability of the county to meet its liabilities
in due time, but rather on account of the great
strngency in the money market at this time.-
To those who have means there is no better op-
portunity for speculation than that affor ded by
the scrip of our county.

The New York Herald and George Law

George Law was at one time seriously talked
of as candidate for the Presidency. A year
ago he was the pet of the New York Herald for
that position. He owed all his popularity, or
rather notoriety, TO that paper, and in fact was
manufactured into great man to order, The
Herald in its issue of Octobel oath thus lets him
down from the dizzy height it had raised him
The DANGERS OF TOWERING AMBITION
Some of our cotemporaries, including "a few
magnanimous politicians, are mourning oyer
the sudden fall OF George Law from his late
dizzy political height down to the bottom of the
deep sea of political obscurity! They think
that we should not have thus cruelty, at a sin
gle blow, demolished the god of our ldolatry.-
We think differently. George Law was pub
lie man of our manufacture. To get him up
in the political world, he cost us six months OF
hard work, an awful expenditure of brains, and
many thousand dollars in paper and printing
wasted upon him. When we visited Europe last
year we left him great man-strong on his
legs, upright in his position-lis brow touching
the sky and his shadow covering the land !;
when we returned, we found him down in the
dirt, surrounded by clique of hungry suckers
who had persuaded him to set up business on
his own account, and to kick from under him
the solid platform which, at vast expense of
time, labor and money, we had built for him to
stand upon. The suckers that had gathered
around him had tattcred him into the idea that
he could stand upon his own bottom.
We are now satisfied that he has behaved
meanly and shabbily in various ways-that he
mas encouraged the absurd idea that he had
bought up aud controlled the New York Herald
just as he could buy up an Alderman, a member
OF Congress, or rotten member of the Cabinet
When our magnificent idol begun thus to betray
his mean instincts, We thought it time to demoi-
lsh him and the. batch of suckers that were
bleeding him to DEATH He was a political ex-
pertinent of ours-a politician of our manufac-
ture-we made him; and surely man NAV do
what he pleases with his own. Thus having let
him down from his lofty delusons, he is at lib
erty to resume his proper functions of buying
and selling railroads, steamboats,, Aldermen.
congressman, Cabinet officers and other yendi-
BILE articles; but he will have learned this good
lesson, that it is dangerous to play the BUYER
and seller with an Independent Journal which
has nothing to ask and nothing ito fear of ira
ding politicians, big or little. We dare say that
the suckers that have inflated George Law with
the idea that he owned the Herald Office. have
heeced him of at least hundred thousand dol
lars. lie has cost us, perhaps, not less than
twenty thousand, so that in cutting him down
to his original dimensions there will be saving
on both sides. In relieving him of his suckers
our charity cannot be questioned, The prison |
er is discharged

NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 2s, 1856.

THE WEATHER.-Year after year, since the
winter of '52 and '53, year when all the doubts
of the sceptcal was put to rest, as to whether
the story of its having rained forty days and
forty nights in the olden time, was fabulous or
no, we have had the most confident predictions
of California mellenium, which consists of cold,
damp, rainy, snowy, dark, dreary, cloudy
weather, sunless skies and muddy earth, that
would drive half the sons Of sunny France to
suicide. The wish of the prophet was doubtless,
father to the thought, and that hope which oft
tells Aattering tale, kept the miner alive
with visions of golden harvest But, so did
the mighty waters not come-and thinking up
on poor Poland, we could not help indulgng
the thought that our fate was worse than hers
the poet has declared in her case:
''That hope for a season babe the earth farewell"
but in ours, hope bade the earth farewell for
several seasons. The incredulous stoics, who
always pass for wise men, wrapt themselves in
proud Indifference, and the disappointed wea-
ther-seer found sweet consolation in the idea,
that he might hit it one Of these days, if he on
ly kept on perseveringly in his representations.
And so it has come to pass. 1t is raining and
has rained. 1t is showing has snowed-it is
cloudy, cold, dark and dreary, overhead and
under foot we have all the essentials of mil
lenium. We see more smiling faces than we
have seen for many day; people are not afraid
Of fire; temperance societies are on the decline;
long gum boots are in demand, and are held by
some of our legal fraternity to be real estate, as
they are fixed in their structure to the soil; wa
ter proof coats are considered personal proper
ty but very valuable; oil silk hats are consider
ed a capital investment, while our traders in
general, enjoy the rise in stocks amazingly
Friends from the Country" are dropping in to
tell us of bears being seen just beyond the su-
gar loaf, and deer being plentiful within rife
shot of town. The latter clear evidence to our
minds of "hard times" up in the mountains, and
harbinger of good times to come-for ever
since we read the story Of Sir Isaac Newton's
wet jacket, and the switching of the black rams
tail, we have INDUCED an implicit faith in ami
NAL instinct.
The Nevada Democrat., 1856-11-26

SENAToRIAL.-The know nothing and repub-
lican papers are giving themselves great deal
Of unnecessary trouble about the Senatorial ell
ection. Their object evidently is to get up a
strife among the democratic members of the
Legislature, in order if possible to defeat the
members have been elected with especial refer
ence to the election of two Senators, and their
duty in this respect is too plain and obvious, to
admit of supposition that they will fail in
making proper selections. As soon as the Leg
isature is fairly organized, q convention of the
two houses win doubtless be called without un-
necessary delay, and those who receive the eau
Gus nominations will be elected We have too
much confidence in the intelligence of the DEM
ocratic members to believe for a moment that
they will confer this position upon any but
staunch democrats, who are honest and capable.
The question of electing Senators belongs ex-
clusively to the democrats, and cannot materi-
ally interest the other parties There is anoth-
er question, however, in which the opposition
have an equal interest with the democrats, and
which it would be well enough for Them to at
tend to. The vigilance committee question was
not made party issue in the late canvass, and
as the opposition papers appear to be good in
figures, we would suggest the propriety of theiI
eypherng up the probabilities of getting an am
nesty bill passed during the next session of the
Legislature.

GRIZZLY KLLED.-Mr. Jacob Keopart killed
q large grizzly about week ago, near Bear
Valley, with an AK. A piece of meat had been
hing to the limb of tree near q cabin occupied
by Mr.. Keopart aud several others, and about
the middle of the night they heard something
trying to pull it down. On going to the door,
they saw the grizzly standing on his hind legs
eating the meat. Keopart took an axe, slipped
up behind him, and struck him on the head with
the edge, splitting his skull ard scattering his
brains on the ground. The grizzly turned and
showed fight but the others coming up, armed
with axes and clubs, he was soon overpowered
and killed He weighed about five hundred
