DEATH OF AN OLD MIsER.-A man named
Peter Hendrickson, Is years of age, was
found dead recently in his room in New York
city. An iqnuest was held on his body,

bread, had been laid aside, and on his body
were found several bank books deeds, bonds
and mortgages and treasury notes represent
ing the sum of $4,000. He was also the
owner of the lot and house, valued at $685.

A COPPERHEAD LIE.

Of course the air is filed with Cop.
perhead lies, intended to prejudice the
popular mind against M. Meier. We
encountered one Of these falsehood IDS
yesterday. Il was to the effect that il
Meder was elected, - nigeers" would
be admitted to the public school.
Ii seems useless to offer q serious denial
of such an absurd fabrication. Ia the
first place Meder is not in favor OF any
such project ; and in the second place,
if ne were, the law explicitly provides
that there shall be separate schools for
white and black children. So much for
a lie made out Of whole cloth to place
the Regular Union nominee for School
Trustee in false light.

In discussing the call of our Union State
Central Committee for meeting to make
arrangements for sending delegates to the

meets at Chicago on the 10Th of next May,
some interesting facts concerning the Con-
vention itself has been overlooked. 1t will
be the first assemblage of its character in
which all the States and Territories Of the
Union have been represented since 1860.
The published call of the National Com
mittee says: Each State in the United
States is authorized to be represented in
said Convention by a number Of delegates
equal to twice the number of Senators and
Representatives to which each State is en-
titled in the National Congress- This will
give 652 MEMBERSHIP largest body of the
kind ever assembled in the nation. Repre-

TO THE MEMBERS OF THE ORMsBY
COUNTY UNION LEAGUE.

The election which will take place
to-day is the first one occurring since
the formation of the League. This
town is the Capital of the State Of
Nevada. The question involved in
the contest is Shall the Public School
system of the Capital Town of Nevada
be allowed to fall into the hands of
the Copperheads 1t is within the
power Of the Leaguers to determine
this question. If they put their Shout
ders to the work, resolved upon a tri-
umph of the party's principles, and
conscious of the consequence to the
organization Of being always prepared
for action, and determined to support
the regular nominees of the party, re-
gardless of personal preferences-to
make an uncompromising fight with
the common enemy, in short-we shall
win the day and send, echoing through
out the State, the FrSt gun o. the cam
paign or 1868. Remember New Hamp-
shire and Rhode Island, and that the
voice with which they have recently
spoken foretells glorious victory for
Grant in November. The Copperheads
will be out in full force o-day. Let
them be met and repulsed by an unbro-
ken front of Union Leaguers all along
the line.

THE COPPERHEAD CANDIDATE FOR
SCHOOL TRUSTEE.

We have been asked by some Of oul
neighbors the question "Why do you
make fight against Gardner? He is a
clever man and has shown himself a
Jealous friend of the public schools
We reply to these tboughtless friends
" Gardner is an out and out Copper
head. He ran, in 1866, on the Copper
head State ticket, against Rhoades, the
Union nominee for State Treasurer. He
is check by jowl with Clayton, Ellis
and Pixley. The very fact that he as
recognized as a worthy citizen and
good neighbor makes him the more
dangerous as a politician, because it
gives him a certain amount Of popular
ity. Principles, and not men, are to be
taken into account, in this matter.
Moreover, so far as competency is con-
cerned, Meder is by many degrees SUI
perior to Gardner" These are the
principal reasons why we oppose Mr..
Gardner. We have been candid aud
just enough toward him to say that he
has been q Jealous, faithful officer. We
repeat it. Mr.. Hayden was a faithful
officer while he was District Attorney of
Ormsby county. But be is afflicted with
the same disease which renders Mr..
Gardner unworthy to receive the votes
of Union men, He is Copperhead.
That is enough and it would be
most humiliating admission to say that
things hare come to such a pass that Union
men hare to look outside Of their own party
and into the Democratic ranks to find u man
fl for School TRUSTEE Gardner is a
pretty good man. for Democrat, but
be is in awful bad company.

OUR NOMINEE.

We ask every man in this District,
Unionist and Democrat, to read Mr.
Meders's communication which we pub
fish this morning. Read it before you
vote. Weigh it well and then judge
fo- yourselves whether any Democrat in
this precinct, even Mr.. Gardner himself,
can place himself by word orline Of his
own, in better light before the public
than Mr. Meder presents himself in by
the matter and tenor of his letter. 1t
has been our fortune to peruse many a
candidates written avowals, but we
cannot remember one such that is more
open, candid and strai ghtforward than
this. Moreover, we knew this letter to
be true statement with regard to Mr..
Meder's candidacy. We know that he
not only did not seek the nomination,
1U, that he was inclined to decline it.
Having been named by good many of
the party for the position, and some
subsequent opposition having been
brought against him, the County Cen
trail Committee invited him to attend
one of it's meetings and to state his
views upon the subject matter of popu
Jar education. He complied with that
Invitation, and gave the committee his
views and experience at length and
we say it in perfect truthfulness, that
the result of tina. interview was the
unanimous opinion of the committee
that in Mr.. Meder WAS found man OF
ripe Judgment, sound views and an en-
iarged and wholly intelligent sympathy
with the common school system.
Added to this is his uncompromising
Uniouism and his intimate identity with
the interests Of the State and the town.
Ia has dene the State good service.
While Mr.. Gardner was lending his
name and influence toward electiug
Henry K. Mitchell to Congress and John
d. Winters to the Gubernatorial Chair,
Mr. Meder was assisting in the election
of the Union nominees. While Mr.. |
Gardner was praying for the defeat of
Senator Nye, Meder was lending him
the material aid of a vote in the Legisla- |
ture. While Gardner would educate the
children to think that JEFF. Davis and |
A adrew Johnson are patriots and cham
pions Of liberty, Meder would gibbet |
tie one and impeach the other. When
Gardner is voting for Pendetou at the
balio, box, next November, Meder will
be depositing his bsl.ot for Ulysses S.
