NOTICES FROM THE PRESS.

Since the announcement that Mr.
LYNCH would be candidate for the
|; State Partnership, we have received the
following favorable notices from some Of
our exchanges.
The State Printer.
The Constitution of the young State Of
Nevada provides that the office of State
Printer shall be filed or appointed by the
State Legislature. In view of this fact, few
matters Of greater import and intereSt-in the
true meaning of the word-will be likely to
present itself before the incoming Legisla-
ture, than the appointment of Public Printer.
4 true, honest and capable manager of this
department Of public expenditure and use
| fulnesS, would save thousands Of dollars an
nually from being squandered or lost to the
State; and in this, the trainers Of our very
excellent Constitution manifested much wis
dom and foresight, in our opinion, by pro-
viding for the election of Public Printer by
| the Legislature, and make him more directly
responsible to it for the faithful performance
Of his functions. 1t is subject Of public
notoriety that our adjoining sister State, CAL
| ifornia, has, from its first dawn as a member
| of the Union, been the victim upon which
incompetent, INSCRIPTIONS and corrupt Office
| holders or contractors, flooded their own
pockets and those of their friends by the
| avariciouS and expensive manner in which
| the State Printing was conducted. Lawyers,
doctors, professional politicians and bum
mers, alike aspired to this office, and often
succeeded in exclusion to the more modest
and more competent practical printer. But
Nevada has the experience of the golden
State to counsel and guide her in many inn
portant particulars, and we presume our rep
reseutatives will study them with good intent
and purposes.
In this connection, Mr.. Philip Lynch, ed
itor and one Of the proprietors of the Gold
Hill Daily News, is spoken Of as fayora-
BILE candidate for State Printer. We also OBJ
serve that the Esmeralda Union and Hum
boldt Register are warm in their advocacy of
his claims; but we fail to see anything that
more strongly represents his interest than
| the fact that he has been constant and car
nest supporter Of the Administration in its
attempt to suppress rebellion, and Of his SUI
perior qualifications and fitness for the posi-
tion-being practical printer and possess
ing the necessary material to successfully
perform the State printing. In view Of these
facts, we consider it eminently proper that
Mr.. Lynch should present his name before
the Legislature for State Printer.-Itashoe
| Star.
The state PrinIcrship.
The Legislature elect will find among its
| first duties the creation of the office of State
Printer; and will needs choose the first in
| cumbent Of the office. We are in favor Of
providing, in the Act creating the office, for
election by the people-as for all other Off
GERS; but for the term preceding the next
general election, the Legislature must choose
its own Printer.
For this first term, it is especially import
| ant that competent party be selected;
party responsible, honorable and having the
means wheTewith to perform such service as
as the duties OF the office involve. The stat
utes of the initial session of the State Legis-
lature will necessarily be very cOmprehen-
sive, and probably somewhat yoluminous.
They must present to our citizens and to the
other States plain exhibit Of our whole mu-
nicipal law, the Constitution on which it is
based, and such specialities of legislation as
our peculiar condition as 4 community may
demand.
1t is an important duty devolving upon the
Legislature elect, 10 concisely and tersely ar
range and present 4 municipal code, under
which we can emerge from all constraints Of
all precedent law. 1t is then important that
these laws be properly collated and codihed,
and printed in a style creditabe to our new
State and the advanced perfection of The Art
Preservative.
Rejecting thus, it gives us pleasure to
know that these objects are easy Of attain
ment. Philip Lynch, Of the Gold Hill News,
will offer his services as Printer to the Leg
islature. His selection for the position would
be characterized BY 4 political, moral, and
professional fitness. He is, and has from the
first, been true us steel to the Union cause !:
the moral fitness. He has been faithful to
the interests Of the Territory therein would
consist the political fitness Of his elevation.
He is the senior Publisher Of the best printed
paper in our State: and that is evidence con-
elusive of his professional fitness for State
Printer.
It will be expensive getting the materials
in shape and keeping the required workmen,
if the Office shall be gwen to n person who
has not the type and presses at hand to do
the work. Lynch has them, and has busi-
ness which will enable him to do the work
elegantly and expeditiously, even though the
paw NAV come somewhat tardily. Lynch is
our candidate.-Hunlb0kdt Register.
For State Printer,
To-day, we place the name Of Philip
Lynch, editor and part proprietor of the
Gold Hill News, at the head of our columns
as a candidate for the position of State Prin-
ter. The Constitution Of the State makes
no provision for the office, but confers power
upon the Legislature TO create such offices,
not provided for in the Constitution, as may
be necessary for the complete administra-
ton Of the Government; and as the Legis-
l.. ~ Lee hat t4I nj n
early period Of its session, we respectfully
submit the claims Of our candidate to the
consideration of that body. Mr.. Lynch for
merly published the Placer Courier, at
Forest Hill, California, where he battled
manfully for the cause Of liberty and justice,
at a time when it was unsafe in that Sec
ton for a Union man to raise his voice in
behalf Of his country. Since he commenced
publishing the Gold Hill News, Mr.. Lynch
has pursued the same fearless course, and
the immense Union majority given at that
place in the late election, attest the influence
he has exerted against the Comprehend party.
Mr.. Lynch has a good office and abundant
meterial to enable him to do the State print
ing with promptness and in the best possible
manner; and the typographical appearance
of his paper-the NEws-is u sufficient guar
antee that he has the ability to render salts
faction. We present the name Of Mr.. l.. to
the consideration of the Legislature as that
of gentleman in every respect well quail
fed for the position Of State Printer. No
person in the State is more deserving, and if
the Office is created BY the Legislature, we
hope to see him get the appointment.-Esmer-
aida Union.
For state Printer.
P. Lynch, editor and proprietor Of the Gold
Hill (Nevada) NEWS, is candidate for the
State Partnership Of the Silver Star State,
which officer is elective 1--WE believe) BY the
incoming Legislature. Mr.. Lynch, or Uncle
Phil, as he is Familiarity known in Placer,
was, until little over year ago, editor and
proprietor of the Placer Courier, published
at Forest Hill, and did yeoman service in the
cause of Unionism; in fact, to no single
agency are we more indebted for the great
and sudden change in the political attitude of
this county. Mr.. Lynch has our hearty sym
patty in his aspirations, and we regret our
| r. L;l;,r 20 ronder him material aid Moth
