Washington is = painting, upon the
wall, representing the western march of
Empire, which is justly regarded as
among the best, if not indeed the very
best painting of its character in the
United States. Any man of observa-
ton who has ever stood upon the
Sierras and looked upon the vast and
gorgeous landscape embracing the foot
hills, the Sacramento Valley and the
Coast Range, can appreciate the truth
and sublimity Of this great work of art.
Leutzes pencil has been busily en-
ployed for many years and his numer-
Gus works, all of very high order of
merit, command the highest prices Of
and the most favorable
places in art galleries.

Washoe County The roads leading

~ hundred feet toward Heaven by the
Geiger Grade to Virginia City, descend
thence fifteen or twenty hundred feet
to the level Of this town, thereby tray
cling fifteen or twenty miles out Of
their way and losing fifteen or thirty
hours in making the trip from Reno to
Carson. 1t is possible for small, lightly
loaded wagons to make the trip over
your tortuous and heavy highways
but the teamsters give up trying to
haul big loads through Washoe Valley
even At this most favorable season of
the year. Cannot you better your roads,

make them straighter? This is seri-

TIE ADOPTION OF THEF0URTEENTH
ARTICLE OF THE CONSTITUTION.

The Secretary of State has made for.
mai encouragement of the adoption, by
three fourths of the States Of the Union
Of the proposed 14th article Of the Con.
stitution This is virtual incorpora.
ton, into the organic law Of the land
Of the final and complete obliteration
of the political entity and power of the
50 called Confederacy and thus has
Congressional Reconstruction triumphed
over the Republics enemies. By the
terms of the newly engrafted article,
all persons born or naturalized in the
United States are citizens of the State
wherein they reside States are pro-
hibited from depriving any of such citi-
zens of life, liberty or property without
due process of law and from denying
an equal protection of the laws. 1t is
fixed that whatever State shall deny
the right of suffrage to any of its citi
zens shall suffer propor,ionately in
representation. The leaders OF the re-
beliion are debarred from holding
places of honor and profit under the
Government until such time as Con-
gress in its clemency shall remove their
disabilities and the validity of the
national debt incurred in suppressing
tbs rebellion is placed beyond question.
Finally, the entire rebel debt and all
possible claims for loss of slaves are
made forever illegal aud void. The
fundamental law of the land is thus
set up against the whole scheme of
secession and rebellion, being remod-
eled in consonance with the spirit and
requirements of the epoch which has
ushered in the triumphant establish
meut Of our nationality. The Congress
ses which have made possible this grand
result will command, in the estimation
Of loyal minds, right to be esteemed
equal in patriotism and valued service
With the heroes who bore the brunt off
battle that the Republic might live.

] o. Nixon, ESQ
Dear Sri wish, through your paper, the fol-
lowing facts may be circulated:
There is, living in this country, man who has
in his possession little girl about six or seven
years of age, blue eyed, rather sandy hair, which
was stolen by Union soldier during the last year
of the war, some where in the kouth. He brought
her North to this State, and his wife died, (he not
having any children) the little girl fell into the
hands Of another person, who wishes her proper
parepts to have her. Now, tbs fellow says he got
her while on picket in Chattanooga. Tennessee.
Yet we are not inclined TO believe him, as he tells
different stories about it. The impression Is he
did not take the child to relieve it from suffering,
but be stole il from her parents, who. perhaps,
think the child dead. Now, sir, if you will give
this place in your paper, it might be the means
of relieving the hearts Of some good and affection.

A Catastrophe on Lafayette SQUARE.
FALLING OF A PLATFORM
SEVERAL PERSONS SERIOUSLY INJURED.
ONE MAN FATALLY CRUSHED

During the meeting on Lafayette square last
evening, where several thousand people had col
lected around the platform erected some weeks
since for at the Democratic mass meeting, and,
ct the time, occupied by the colored Democratic
speakers and others, there was heard sudden
crash, and in another instant the staging fell, the
lights went out, and the vast crowd was in dark
ness. For moment q panic seemed imminent,
and large numbers of people left the square,
while others who had been standing in the imme-
se torches, and proceeded to olsen
gage from the debris those unfortunates who had
been injured by the fall. This was accomplished
with rapidly, and the injured persons were con-
veyed to the station, where surgical assistance
was promptly procured. The list Of casualties
was found to be as follows:
Geo. Necksrt, No. 127 Laurel street, injured in
ternally, and it is feared, fatally.
John Cooney, IL years. Girod street, near
TchoupIioulss. severe confusion of scalp.
Joseph Schidel, confusion Of the scalp.
Officer Ramon Gayard, Second District foot
officer John Kennedy, First District, foot
sprained. ..
officer Jos. Taylor, First District, injuries not
ascertaiDed.
Louis Guerin, left arm sprained at elbow, and
confusion of head.
Officer P. Delaney, Second District, foot.
Several others, we are informed, were more or
less injured, but were taken to their houses. II
was thought at the station, at late hour last
night that the boy, Cooney would recover, but
that Neckart would not, SO serious were the In
ternal injuries which he had sustained. The cries
of the boy, and the grosns of others of the
wounded we're piteous enough to make the most
callOus turn away with sadness from the scene.
The cause of the disaster, which so suddenly
changed the lively scene to one Of mourning,
was subject of much discussion. Some asserted
that at the instant the platform fell three or -four
men had been seen to run out from beneath II
others that three of the upright supporters had
been tempered with and sawed, the discovery
being made by detachment of police who pro
ceeded Immediately by torch-light to make tho
| rough examination of the ruins for the purpose o
detecting any evidence of previous maliciou
| design.
On the other hand, it is asserted that the staging
| had been weakened by many braces having DeeI
pulled of by the boys who are daily in the habit
Of playing theTesbOuts, and that this had caused
| its fall. Why the fall should have happened a
| the particular moment 1t did is q question whic
| we leave each one TO solve, for there was at th
| time no unusual stir or movement.
