The State of Nevada Driving Ahead
Bully Teams and Bull Teams.

Under such heading, the S. F. Nes0s
Letter has rather comical article upon
the Congressional representation of Ne
vada. Its huge mistake about North
helping Stewart to the Senatorship shakes
our faith in the correctness of the biogra-
phirs of the others. The following is the
article:
This baby of the confederacy, rocking
in its mountain cradle, starts off on its
political career whip in hand. Its Con-
gressional delegation is composed of two
stage-drivers and the driver of an OK
team. Harry Worthington's father was a
mail contractor at Cumberland, Maryland,
and owned line of stages running to
Wheeling, on the Ohio, over the National
road. He has frightened passengers, in
driving his crack teams down Siding Hill
into Frostburg, as much as Hanks fright
ened Greeley in driving him from Carson
to Placerville, while the Philosopher of the
White Coat suffered grievously from fun
damental Affections. Harry drove into
the Legislature of this State by patroniz-
ing hack drivers, while his digni6ed OPP
ponent, Delos Lake, would not condo
scend to electioneer. Harry is in the
House. He will be heard, then. jim
Nye, one of the Senators, was a stable
boy and stage-driver. While driving in
Western New York, one cold night, he
dumped his passengers into half-frozen
creek. It was nobody's fault. A County
Judge was one of the fare. Jim got the
load out satisfied and shivering. He d.
vided what there was left IN his private
bottle among the passengers: The Judge
felt generous his intellect and gratitude
were put into operation; he thought that
any fellow who could get man in such
scrape, and get him out again, would
make good lawyer; he invited Jim to
his office, to study the mystic science
called Law. And Jim went on, from
stage to stage, until he drove himself into
the United States Senate, where he will
be ahead of any man on specific contracts.
Bill Stewart could crack an ox-whip with
any tall red-headed Pike in the California
Sierras in '49 and so. His Gee-up,
Brandy" and "Wo-ha, Brindle !" re-
sounded through the canons, returned in
echoes, and frightened the grislies. When
the SHOWS came in, his bull-team went
out, and, consequently, he pitched into
the law. Blackstone says that the law is
Jealous mistress; and probably it is, as
so many jealous people resort to it. But
to Stewart it has proved constant. He
jumped from the ox-wagon into the At
torney Generals Office of this State. After
that, he drove into the Ophir shaft, and
came out with load OF solid metal. He
built quartz mill in Washoe, and, with
the assistance of Judge North, stamped
himself Senator. He may not be as ele-
CANT as Sumner, but he will not thank
man for knocking him on the head, as
Sumner did. We admire the discrimina-
ton of the people of Nevada, in selecting
representatives who are go-ahead men,
and who can cut and lash political
measure to speedy conclusion. Let
these knights Of the Whip enter the
Senate and the House with their peculiar
emblems of power, and with them awaken
the dormant and sluggish Congress to a
sense of right and justice towards the
loyal Pacific, estimated only in that body
by its golden yield. McDougall, who has
turned Greaser, can ride his mula; and
CONFESS, who preserves his dandy6ed airs,
can ventilate his gold-headed cane on
Pennsylvania Avenue every day, to the
admiration of all the hunkies.
