A TALL FIRM

Their grand aim and object is 10 make
money. The dollar mark l. stamped in
their every act. One is at the head Of the
Of Virginia City-the other Of
Storey county. In the breeches pockets
of these twain, par mobile fratruaa, Is
snugly slowed away the interests Of these
two corporations. In county matters
Grim has the inside track, and Jones has
a plenty Of the sponduhx to control any
nice job that is brought to his attention
BY the disinterested Grim, who could not
be induced to take any advantage Of his
official position to further his own inter-
ests not he. In city matters Jones has
the first look, but it would not be honest
nor lawful fo- him to take advantage Of
his official position to bring dollars into
his pockets. Now, Grim has cords Of
coin, equal to the graceful management of
any operation that might be shown him,
sub rosa, to be a rich lead-something that
would pour out many dollars to the
bucket. Now, all great institutions must
have an organ. The C~onfederates OBJ
tanned the London Tines. 1t cost stacks
of bullion but an organ is a necessity for
great emergencies. Jones, Grim & Com
~pany-this firm has silent partners-have
a great work to do, and the firm must
have a mouth-piece-the Double-ad' was
capable of doing great things, it is an
organ Of many turns. It was just the
thing for Grim, Jones s Co. The quarto
is the grand organ for these scrupulous
and conscientious officials. It entered
upon its duties with lively emotions Of
hope-with a determination for success.
Thirty-one thousand dollars were to be
manipulated. The prospects were fine;
but a cloud soon spread over the hor-
lion. Darkness fell on the hopes Of
the great firm, and the organ howled.
The organ, in its talk yesterday morn
ing, thought the time had come when
hemp should be domesticated when
necks should be fitted to nooses, or the
thousands Of the county's treasure should
90 to Jones, for Jones' building, or the
coin should rest in Grim's vaults for the
speculative benefit Of Jones. Grim S Co.
How terribly the little ehap-who is so
hefty on adjectives, the seven by nine
scribbler who wants to be School Super
intendent, but can't make the rifie-did
twist and writhe! Should the people be
spurred on to violence and blood. the lit
tie dunghill bantram should have the
other side Of his head SCARED. and then
should be made to dance at the end Of q
rope. The tergiversations Of this great
mendacious organ are numerous and i'm
mense-enough to bewilder any one who
attempts to follow it in its friendships and
hates. A year or two since. when "a
payers thought it would be wise to dis
place that erratic Mayor, Rufs Arrick,
with Geo. F. Jones, the Double Ads. went
into "conniption fits" on the subject.
Last Winter, when the Legislature re-
solved Il give the city Of Virginia a new
charter, it denounced Jones. for his oppo-
sition to the measure, as the great Shy
lock Of the eastern slope-the great thief
the monster, above all others, to be for
ever damned and Stunned by the dear
peeps. But, presto change. Jones is now
the coming man." Quick, shrewd and
honest. When he takes snuff the organ
sneezes.
A short time since the organ was down on
Charley Knox. alike q thousand Of brick"
He had committed the objectionable sin
of giving the thieving Hospital contract
to DR.. Tucker contract that called
for one dollar and fifty cents a day, in gold
coin, for each Hospital patient. "That
swindle" said the organ, "should doom
the county Commissioners to the Peniten-
tentisry, and Tucker to the warmest cor
ner in the territory Of Hades." This threw
the organ into a kind of cucumber cholera
infantum ; and it had commissions for half
a year. 1. could not hold up, but roarcd
from mere force of habi.-nothiag could
appease it-nothing could still its MUIR
murings but the manufacturing Of Rollin
into a school Superintendent. That would
heal the wound; tina, would stay the
that would cure the commissions
that would stop the foods, dry up the
waters safely, and land Knox and his as
s~ociates on the summit, of Ararat. But
&" the thing couldn't be did," the Commits
labored but the pattern was too
small, the substance was o gosamer-too
diluted. Cholera backed down and the
organ howled, and Judge Rollin become
sour and mumpy. It had Hospital con-
tract" on the brain. The organ knew
that Tucker and the Commissioners were
elm cahoot"-that the plumber was shared
between them. Charlie and Tucker, par
mobile fratrtsn,. must bite the dust or the
organ must perish. Knox left the city,

the agency Of Jones, Double Ads, s Co.,
Grim slipped into Knox's seat before the
cushion had lost its heat. In the estima-
ton Of the organ. Grim wal the great Tam,
and Geo. F. Jones was his brother.
While the Union people were wondering
at the political. financial or other strategy
Of the opposition, a new Hospital contract,
stealthily and without one word Of notice
to the people or the medical profession
who would have liked to have started bus
mess on the capital Of the county-that q
great contract was to be given out, and
that bids would be invited at q certain
day in the future; we say, that while the
people were wondering, two Of the Com
missioners, Mr.. Grim at the head, gave
out the Hospital contract for one year,
giving the lucky medicos, Drs. Tucker s.
bronson. the furnished Hospital and
$4,000, in gold coin. to look after the sick
Of the county. which contracts amounts
to from "a to 90 per day for each patient!
Well, what is the position Of the Double
Ads. on this contract-M1 s,cindzs of colos-
