WrRE-PrLL1NG.-Th various candi-
dates for positions that are supposed to
paw at Carson, are as numerous as flies
around the ear-cap of dead horse.
From United States Senatorship to Ser
geant-at-Arms of the Third House, wire
pulling, button-holing, and trading horses
seems to be in order, andreminds fellow
of the Copperheads around recently
elected Democratic officials.
IMPROVING IN CIvILIzATIoN.-The vari-
Gus churches of Storey county are filled
each Sunday with an audience of intelli-
gent gentlemen and ladies, congregated to
listen to the teachings of the gospel from
pious lips; and where four years ago, on
Sunday, could be heard the curse Of the
blasphener and the drunken shout, now
may be heard the voices of prayer ascend
Ing to heaven.
DESERT D1sTRIcT.-The glowing &C
counts from the Desert District continue
to multiply, and another large invoice OF
ore recently brought in for reduction, has
been worked with most satisfactory re-
suits. We look to see the Desert District
among our best producing mineral Sec
tons in a short time.

CITY NEWS.
Our special Dispatches.


We have made arrangements whereby
we obtain the half past three o'clock
morning report in time for our Evening
Edition, when there is any news in it
worth printing. This makes our Even
ing Edition very valuable As II gives our
readers all the news several hours in ad-
vance Of either the indianapolis or Gin
elnnati papers.
The Evening Edition will be issued to
nowsboys in half sheets, thereby d.
minisbing the price and enabling them
to furnish papers at five cents per copy,
and yet make fair profit; while, at the
same time, it will contain all the newa
up to the hour Of going to press
The markets in these times Of sudden
mutations and collapses are valuable to
business men Oar Evening Edition
will contain, regularly, the noon New
York and Cincinnati market reports.
The Journal, we are resolved, shall
be The most reliable medium for latest

Indiana and Kentucky and southern HI

energy-sdmiring public to suitably ar,

Tgr NV HoTEL-A LIBERAL OrrER

IHE NEW hoIEL--A LIBERAL OKFEh
We we're informed, yesterday Of propo
sition so liberal in its character that
il ought to insure the construction Of q
magnificent hotel in our city within the
ensuing summer. The proposal, as We
get it from Mr. Lawrence, is made By
Marcus Sherwood, Esq, the present own
err Of the Sherwood House. Dir. Shsr-
wood agrees 10 sell the present site OF
the Sherwood House. including sll the
bindings now standing on it, and The
ground-150 by $50 feet squsre-for the
sum Of thirty thousand dollars. He pro
poses, farther, to take twenty thousand
dollars Of the amount in stock, the Com
panv paying him the remaining ten
thousand in cash.
We regard this proposition as so lib
eral that if our business men are really
in earnest in their efforts to construct 8
hotel corresponding With the wants Of
our rapidly growing city, the stock ought
to be subscribed at once and the work
put under way early in the Spring Nc
better location can be found 10 the eity
than the Sherwood House. 1t is eonye
nient to the landing, the depot, and tbs

house is composed Of most sxcellen
material, the greater part Of which CAT
