GAMBLING In R1cHMoND.-Nextt to rum
shops are the gambling shops of this city,
andit does appear Strange that while con-
scripts are cleared out, marauders de-
tected, common thieves caught, and vice
generally in other things is kept in man
ageable state, this one great evil is wholly
unlimited. One concern, it is said, actu-
ally defes the police, and others are kept
upon such strict "principleS" that the
police would have hard time carrying
them, unless in strong force and working
according to the ancient rules of detective
strategy. AS long as these one hundred
little and big gambling houses are permit
cd to attract the dcpraved and infatuate
the silly, so long may we expect to hear
of dcmoralizcd soldiers, who have their
officers as examples: inconsiderate and in
consistent laws, which have gambling and
drinking legislators to father them, and
cxtortionists in the community who have
constantly empty pockets to fill and emp
ty mouths to feed.-RichmOnd Enquirer.

GENERAL BUTLER.-The State Union
League of Massachusetts has elected Gen.
Butler as delegate to the National Union
League which meets in Washington in
December. Gen. B. addressed the meet
ing taking ground with those who be-
lieve that the seeded States have annihi-
lated themselves as States while the power
of the General Government still remains
intact over their territory. He opposed
the opposition of member of the Cabinet,
that the rebel commonwealth, by throw
ing down their arms should be received
into the Union with unimpaired rights,
with their old local institutions. He con-
tended that the rebel States mnst be con-
sidered destroyed, or it would be almost
impossible to choose anothhr President
for the reason that no candidate likely to
be elected would receive support in the
North as to give him majority of the
whole electoral college, constituted of all
the States, both loyal and rebel. This
question would be transferred to the
House of Representatives, where each
commonwealth casts one vote, and ma
iority of such votes required-the diff
Guilty being greatly increased. The policy
he advocates was safe. 1t was justice to
restore Union in the South only as fast as
the principles of freedom and loyalty are
extended over rebel domain.

Consolidation.

We hear quite prevalent rumorS of
project on the part of Virginia City to con-
soidate all of Storey county under one
corporation, after the manner of San Fran
cisco. How that plan may work in the
latter county, we are not sufficiently post
ed in its affairs to Judge; but we are well
assured that such proposition here would
meet with no favor at all outside the city
limits of Virginia. The close propinquity
of Gold Hill and Virginia and their init
mate business relations are all that can be
urged in its faver. The two places are
separated by very strong natural line OF
demarcation, and their locations are so
distinct and so different, and their various
wants and interests are so far from iden-
teal, that the necessity Of distinct corpo-
rations suggests itself at glance. Viz
ginia partakes more of a metropolitan
character, and has many necessities per-
tanning to a large city and heavy popula-
ton, which Gold Hill has not. Virginia
requires a strong police force, stringent
municipal regulations for the cleanliness
and health of the city, an expensive sys-
tenn of sewerage, the grading and con-
slant repair of many streets, large and
costly fire department, in all of which the
citizens of Gold Hill have no interest
whatever, and for which this town has not
at present nor will have for some years
any pressing need. When such necessi-
ties arise, the corporation of Gold Hill
can very well manage their own affairs in
their own way They may perhaps choose
to conduct matters in more economical
and less ostentatious style than would be
in good taste in a large, wealthy and hand
some city like Virginia. Gold Hill is not
a dandy metropolis like its neighbor, with
all the stylish adjuncts of stately build
ings, palatial hotels, gorgeous saloons,
theaters, melodeons and hurdy-gurdy
dance houses; our police Court is seldom
patronized; our police department is in
expensive, and we are In fact free from
the thousand and one expensive wants
and extensive necessities. Our taxation
is light, and our citizens have no desire to
have it increased to pay for those things
from which they can reap no substantial
benefit. Virginia Cityi already burthened
with very considerable debt, which has
accrued for matters not benefting Gold
Hill, and which our citizens had no part
in contracting. We see no object in the
proposed consolidation, save to saddle
the debt of Virginia upon the whole
county. The honor and glory of becom-
ing part and parcel of that great city is
not sufficient object to compensate for
the high price Of the whistle.

The CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
On Tuesday next, the Convention to frame
a Constitution for the new State of
Washoe will meet in Carson City. 1t is
highly important, in the organization of
this body, that a good presiding officer
should be selected-one who is a par
Humanitarian, ready, firm and decided.
We have heard the names of but two
gentlemen mentioned in this connection
Hon. John A. Collins and Hon. J. H.
Ralston. There are other members of the
Convention, however, who we believe to
be eminently qualified for the position;
and where there is so much talent and
legislative experience, as there will be in
the approaching Convention, we doubt
not good selection will be made.

THE GEORGE LLOYD AFFAIR. - An
Aurora correspondent Of the Sacramento
Union gives the following account of the
affair:
"Iast night a difficulty commenced
between Thomas Coleman and George
Lloyd, in drinking saloon in which were
some forty to fifty persons. Pistols and
knives were drawn, as usual. Some six
or eight shots were fired. Lloyed was
shot through the heart, and died in a
few minutes John Daley was slightly
hit in the leg by ball. Fortunately,
none others were hit. 1t is not known
who shot Lloyd. The testimony before
the Coroner's jury was very conflicting.
Verdict" Killed by pistol ball fired
by person unknown" Thos. Coleman
married Geo. Lloyd's sister, who was re-
Gently buried in Sacramento. They, with
Daley, are well known in Sacramento"

ANorHER.-We did really think that
there was but one man ON the face of the
footstool to whom the reputation of John
Bigler was a sweet smelling SAVIOR, and
the sound Of his name as the twanging of
the dulcimer and the footing of the flute.
Forbes, of the Humboldt Register, we be-
ieved to be that lonely man. We were
mistaken. There is vet another, and he
too dwells on the outsquirts" of civiliza-
ton. That man is the editor of the
Aurora Times, He does not 60 so much
on the euphony as he did in his objections
to the name of Washoe. He is '1elass-
icaP cuss. He says:
"Lake Bigler has become almost class

Mining SuecuIations,

The San Francisco Journal has an
article headed -" Infatuation in which
it enlarges upon the evils resulting from
the mania for mining speculations, which
pervades all classes in that city. 1t says:
Never were people so excited, so
wild and stark mad as the people of San
Francisco, at the present time. The luck
of few Of our citizens upon the Com
stock lead has made all mad, from the
merchant prince to the laborer, from the
jeweled lady to the chambermaid and
cook, 1t is all feet; feet on the sidewalk,
it's feet in the cars, i'll bar-rooms and
reading-rooms, in hotels and restaurants,
and counting houses and in work shops.
In the parlor, the mistress speaks Of the
Gould 4 Curry, Ophir, and in the kitch-
Ell, the servant talks of the Norton and
Burdside. The wealthy trade their man
sions for feet, and the poor their hard
earned homesteads. Thousands who had
purchased land that they could sell have
bartered it away for feet they never can
sell ; given up certainty for an uncer-
OI1lSI WIZ lLftb bSNh
saving money to buy homes, have now
neither homes nor money, but have stock
that is not worth dollar a cord. But
what we are losing the mines are gaining.
They already have our moneye; have got
many of our houses, and much of our
land, and if things continue for two years
more, as they have for the last twelve
months, they will ruin more men in San
Francisco than did all the fires of 1850
and 1851"
1t is very proper and just for the press
to demonstrate with the people upon the
subject of rash speculations. 1t is I'M
doubtedly true that San Francisco mark
ct is stocked with any quantity of worth
less wild cat" and whose dabbleth
therein is not wise. There is also plenty
of the article for sale in this Territory,
but the people here touch it with caution.
They have advantages of information,
here, which are not possessed by the San
Franciscans. The heavy shipments of
treasure which are daily made from our
mines show that to those who invest
wisely there is probably no mining region
in the world more likely to i've heavy
returns. The Gould s. Curry is not the
only paying mine in Nevada, as the Cali
fornia papers seem to suppose. There
are hundreds of others same as rich, and
all rich enough to sastify any reasonable
desires. 1t is easy to ascertain whether
or not mine has been opened and has an
actual value and if the people of San
Francisco will "go it blind" and buy
stocks in mines which have never been
even prospected, and perhaps have no ex-
istence at all, the fault is their own, and
if fools and their money" are separated
in such transactions they deserve no great
amount of commiscration.

A CoNsP1RAcY.-A negro conspiracy, on
grand scale, which has doubtless been in
embryo for some time, has been discovered
in Georgia. The negroes had been COM
pletely organized, and Major Generals and
all other officers selected. This force was to
have Joined General Thomas at Chattanooga.
We are afraid the rebellion will make bad
work for its advocates in the South before
long. The negroes will be likely to become
tinctured with the rebel spirit-with this diff
ference-they will strike off the manacles
which make their race slaves, while the
white rebels attempt to stab to the heart the
Government which has made them freemen

WHERE TO FIND Them. - Washoe Is
the place to find anybody You have not
seen for many years. When we lived in
California, we occasionally wondered what
became of the hard-hSted old miners whom
VT rad been accustomed to greet weekly,
and even daily, for years. Being in the
newspaper business, where deaths are
generally recorded, we were fully cogni-
zanc u the fact that they had not " gone
the way of all flesh" but as time passed
on, many Of them disappeared-where, we
knew not. Since our advent into this
section of Silver Land, we have made the
discovery as to the whereabouts of our
old acquaintance. They are all in
IYashoe. Yes, Washoe, with all its faults
its dust its scarcity of wood-its
abundance of -brush-its steep hills
its endless wealth of silver-is, after all
the land for the old Californian. The
constant excitements, the fortunes made
and lost, the bright hopes of all-for 4" no
man knoweth what a day or an hour may
bring forth''-all, all, go to make up what
once constituted the hey-day of the glory
of California. And to-day, Washoe is
only another edition of the early gold
seekers experience, with thousand per
cent. added thereto. This is the place to
find those whom you have not seen for
years-(we saw an old acquaintance in
Gold Hill, few days ago, whom we had
not seen for thirteen years y When Gold
Hill gets population of 10000, which it
will have in few years, even more old
acquaintance will be seen than now.
