CLOSE OF THE STATE CONFERENCE.-The
Carson Appeal, of yesterday, gives the
following revision of the last ballot for
Congressman on Wednesday evening:
Coming together at the appointed hour,
order was speedily restored, the roll was
called, all members found to be present,
and the 2ith ballot for Member Of Con-
gress was called for by the President.
The balloting proceeded in the usual order
until Storey county was called, when one
of that delegation having Hoped" an
nounced himself for Winters! AS quick
US wink, twenty-six votes which had so
long and steadily been cast for Clagett,
were changed over to Ashley. Washoe
followed suit, then Lyon. then Ormsby,
and the balance were stampeded like a
drove Of elk. A member then bounced to
his feet and moved that Ashley be declared
the unanimous nominee of the Conven-
ton. Judge Goodwin seconded the mo-
ton and put a WELL conceived rider on
its back, that he be further declared the
next Member of Congress from Nevada,
and the whole question was put and car
ricd with q whereas and a shout that
made the old theater ring again. We
didn't stop to hear .Ashley's speech Of ac-
ceptance, but hurried to write down the
result while the good news was yet hot,
that the consummation which we had so
devoutly wished for has been attained by
the nomination of a compromise candi-
date. Hurrah for Il. d. Ashley, the
standard bearer of the State of Nevada"

CoINcIDENcBs.-The great earthquake
in San Francisco occurred on Sunday, the
shock passing from northwest to south
east. Mount Hood, lying about north
northwest Of San Francisco, is in a state
of violent eruption, fire and smoke from
its crater being plainly visible to the naked
eye from almost any part of the William
cite Valley. By the next arrival from the
Sandwich Islands, information will prob
ably be received of a eruption of Mauna
Loa. From the violence of the great con-
vulsion of nature, it is evident that the
earthquake did not stop in California.

JOHN BULL AND THE rEN1ANs.

The English papers, and those publish
ed in Ireland which are in the interest o
the British Government, have tried hard
to induce the belief in the minds Of their
readers that the Fenian movement was
nothing more than a harmless object Of
ridicule. Lately they have changed this
tune. Just before the adjournment Of
Parliament the London Times and its
satellites labored assiduously for q law
doubling the number of the constabulary
in Ireland. on the ground that the Fenian
developments had assumed such a charac-
ter as to call for a more efficient police
system. Our Irish exchanges Of late date
show that the apprehension on the part of
friends Of the Government is increasing.
The Fenians are represented to be rapidly
spreading their organization, augmenting
their numbers by new accessions, and
growing holder in their movements. In
the county of Cork, according to the
papers published therein, the society is
becoming very numerous, and the secrecy
which has heretofore characterized their
movements is in a great measure dispensed
with. Their meetings and drills, which
were formerly conducted at night, and in
obscure places, are now held in the day
time, and seemingly without much regard
to what the authorities may think about
it. They go through a regular and scien-
tifc course of military drill, performing
all the evolutions requisite to company
and battalion training ; they closely study
the manual, and are, in fact, passing
through u course that will make them
efficient soldiers. Rifle practice is closely
attended to, and it is stated that they are
well supplied with this class of arms, and
also with bayonets. The Cork papers in
the British interest manifest considerable
uneasiness concerning this rapid delelop-
ment Of Fenianism in that quarter, and
the attention of the English authorities i:
invited to the subject. 1t is evident thai
another effort will be made, ere long, fol
the freedom of Ireland. Whether it will
be any more successful than former ef-
forts, remains to be seen.

\ WoMAN's MANA good story is
told about General Grant. Whilst on his
way from Portland TO the White Noun

moments, none were allowed to shake
hands with the General except a few Of
the returned soldiers. At one place,
however, one lady pressed forward, and
holding out her hand, said, 81 must take
the hand of the man who lets the women
do all the talking" The multitude
laughed heartily, the General joined in the
laugh, and the woman was gratiied.

HEAVY 1MMIGRATIoS.-Thc stream OF
immigration to this port shows no sign of
abatement. During the first three weeks
of the past month, seventeen thousand
passengers, from various European ports,
landed in this city, and the entire number
for the month will approximate twenty
five thousand. The larger part of these
immigrants are Germans, Swiss and Poles,
who will prove a valuable acquisition to
our industrial population. Nearly all OF
them have brought a little capital.-the
closely-husbanded savings Of hard labor
at homeland with this they will establish
themselves and commence the work Of
carving out their fortunes by industry and
economy. Very few of the immigrants
stop in the city permanently. The ma
jority have their destination fully decided
upon before they arrive here, and gen.
orally manifest great cagerness to 60 for
ward-Westward or Southwark, as the
case may be. Our reports from the Eu-
ropcan cities where emigrants mostly en-
bark, all point to a continuation Of this
influx. The German and English sea-
ports are overrun with emigrants, and the
vessels leaving for this country are all
crowded to their utmost capacity. Let
them come, and the more the better. The
United States is now better prepared than
ever before to accept the industrial poor
of Europe-to give them good homes in
exchange for novels, and liberty in ex-
change for despotism.-N. 7. Sun.

HEART AND BRAIN.-ln some of the
lowest types no trace of q nervous mechan-
ism can be discovered. A little higher IN
the scale of mechanism is very slight and
simple. Still higher it becomes complex
and important. 1t eliminates in man.
Corresponding with this scale of complex
ity in the sensitive life is the scale Of COM
plexity in the nutritive life. As the two
rise in importance they rise in the scale OF
dependence. Thus a frog or a tritron will
live long after its brain is removed.
have kept frogs for several weeks without
their brains, and tritrons without their
heads. Redi, the illustrious Italian natu-
ralist, kept q turtle alive five months after
the removal of its brain. Now it is need
less to say that in higher animals death
rapidly follow the loss of the brain. A
somewhat similar parallelism is seen on
| the removal Of the heart. None of the
higher animals can survive a serious in
Jury to. the heart (; but that organ may be
removed from a reptile, and the animal
will crawl seemingly as lively as ever. A
frog will live several hours without a heart
and will hop, swim and struggle as if un.
injured. Shilling once removed all the
viscera from a frog, which, however, con.
tinued for one hour to hop, defend itself
and in various ways manifest its Vivacity

SOUTHERN PoLiTlos.--Under date Of

Philadelphia paper wrote from Wash,
ington:
We have most encouraging reports
from the South, with reference to the
representatives nominated, and those
to be nominated for the next session
of Congress. Almost, If not quite, to
man, they will be able to take the
test" oath Of 1862, and this will dis>
arm the radical power at once. The
South is not too blind to see that the
game is in its own hands, and it is act
ing cautiously in the matter of it's
nominations to make sure that every
one Gin the language of old Zach Tay'
lor) is " fit to be made" No clearer
proof of the determination of the
South to be represented could be Of
fered than the spontaneous and un-
selfish withdrawal of all from the can.

shafts will dash in vain.
