- A
Are we going to rack and ruin as q
Is the generality Of toiling
and investing humanity, hereabouts, on
the highway to povertys Pretty serious
questions! How much sense is there in
them: Yet. we heard them uttered by a
couple of "leading citizens" standing in
front of the Enterprise office, on yesterday.
The two speakers were dissenting on fall
ing stocks and the jubilant tone of GER
tain representative braggarts Of the
democratic" party. And some such
interrogatory-like in meaning-we have
frequently heard during the past week.
An impression seems to be gaining ground
that "Washoe" is gone in" is played
OUT we quote the slang vernacular Of
the street, as it exactly reports the COM
mon, current remark of the day. How
ever, as above, the idea is usually preached
in a query. The questioners we
might add-sive evidence of no dispo-
sition to themselves forsake the land by
fact of emigration or in a fear of personal
disaster. A point in the ~lugubrious chan
mel of reflection is mapped by u friend
B., who to-day announced this sugges-
ton Suppose we should have an earth
quake here; and suppose all the chambers
of our mines should tumble in-what
would stocks then be WORTH And he
FASTENED to reply: "Not four bits a
foot" We can take up and 90 on with
the whole Of this supposition and any
convenient associates, by saying: Sup
pose the world should come to an end,
and old Time clear out Of our galleries,
altogether, before Christmas comes ="
Now the earthquake, very naturally,
shook down our stock market. For in
stance: the market is determined by the
moving figures; those are the sale figures
Men and women and little children and
guardians can't buy mining stocks when
they have cracked houses to mend. How
can they: The million dollars Of &C.
knowledged damage done in San Fran.
cisco, is mostly repairable damage-and il
is injury that must be a. once repaired,
Say that only 100000 is needed for re.
building, bracing, hog-chaining, etc.
that is so much cash taken from the stock
buying portion Of the metropolitan COM
munity. No wonder stocks have gone
down. And so all the chronic croaker:
in Storey county-and all the idlers, who
are croakers and %jubilanters in turn-have
their big SWIVEL to-day about ruin staring
us all in the face. Don't you believe it
good sir, until you have farther signs"
Wait until our large Virginia companies
have their new hoisting-works and Offices
erected ; wait until our Branch Mint i.
started in Carson-then things will 60 up
In short, " wait a little longer"

ATTEMPTED SUIcIDE.-A young lady
named Ellen Rally, from Bcnicia, made
an attempt to commit suicide yesterday
afternoon at the Elmer House. She has
been in the city several weeks. Yester-
day afternoon she visited Klink & Mart
fields drug store and asked for two bits
worth Of morphine. Receiving eight
grains of the article asked for, she re-
turned to the hotel and took about seven
eights of the quantity obtained. The
circumstance became known, and DR..
Hardness was sent for, who, by a prompt
use of the pump, saved the life of his pa
tient. Bad faith on the part of q young
man now somewhere in the mountains is
said to be the cause of this attempt at self
destruction Sacramento Union.

A NARROW EscAPE.-Pool. the bar
keeper on the Yosemite, had a very narrow
escape from death, when the explosion on
that Inflated vessel occurred. Everybody
who has ever travelled on the Sacramento
steamers knows where the bar is kept.
Pool went to dinner, locked the bar, and
had Just finished when they arrived at Rio
Vista. Contrary to usual custom, he sat
down on the guards at the stern OF the
boat, smoking a cigar, when the explosion
occurred, and he escaped without injury.
The bar and contents was entirely blown
to "smithereens." Pool hardly knows
how to account for his not doing as usual.

dinner. He is a brother Of Captain Pool,
who also had a miraculous escape. The
Pool family are in luck.

The VIRGINIA UNION On opening
this mornings Daily Union, it was with
feelings Of deep modification that we read
its leading editorial article. II pas so
coppery-it smacked so much Of the mod
ern traitor Democracy that we could not
help heaving a sigh for the weakness Of
mankind, and the power Of gold when
weighed against principle, loyalty, and
true patriotism. Alas, that it should be-
so! The UnioH-a noble and consistent
soldier for the last four years in fighting
the brave battles of our dear country
now that the battle is won, now that our
Government is saved from destruction by
the hands of traitors and rebels-selling
itself and its good name to a pack of rebel.
sympa,hizers for filthy hucre; to spread
broadcas, the damnable dogmas and here
sizes of a "played OUT fractional, and
insignificant number of Copperheads |!
We can scarcely realize that it is possible /!
And in our kindness Of heart, we cannot
but look upon our late contemporary more
in sorrow than in anger. But let the
name of the paper be changed-let it be
called Mrs. Surrat." let it be "Jef.
Davis" let it be "Booth," let it be

anything else signifying its true politics.
Let it nc longer than one issue desecrate the
dear name of UN1oS, while spousing its

THE BEST MAN.

The Union County Convention is to re-
assemble again tomorrow. when in all
probability they will make county and
precinct nominations. We again urge upon
the delegates the Importance Of selecting
the best men for candidates. Popular
men must be put forward to concentrate
the party feeling, and obtain the entire
Union vote. Side issues must be laid
aside, and the delegates must not forget
that they are to make nominations for the
whole Union party. There was a division
OF members of the party on candidates for
the nomination for Congressman, and the
delegates who are to assemble tomorrow
were elected on that issue. But that nomi-
nation has been made, and all persons
who had a voice in the matter are bound
to give the nominee their support. That
issue is dead. The delegates are therefore
Clagett delegates no more; they are Union
delegates-and if they carry the issue any
farther or raise it in their future proceed
ings. they will do it on their own respon-
sibility. We think a large majority of
the delegates have no intention or desire to
make an arbitrary or partial use Of their
power, but we are well advised that such
are not the intentions Of all, and it will be
well for the Union party if a certain few
of the members of the Convention to-mor-
row are not allowed to carry out their
designs Of resurrecting the dead issues for
the purpose Of gratifying q faction at the
expense of the party. 1t is the duty Of
the Convention to avoid all issues tending
in the least to divide the party, either in
sentiment or action. They must rather
seek to follow the course most likely to
promote harmony and friendly feeling,
and the surest way to accomplish that end
is to make selections of the right men for
the right place, irrespective Of the little
petty side issues which may be attempted
to be brought to bear. The issue is Union
or ~Copperhead: and if Union men bring
about any other issues, it will be but a
cheap way Of selling out to their oppo-
nents. Again we say to the delegates,
make nominees Of the best men.
