LEAGUE MEETING TONIGHT.

The campaign is opening suspicious
" in Neveda. The meeting held on
Wednesday night at Virginia City was
one of the old time uprisipgs Of earnest,
enthusiastic loyalists. Every man who
would help save the country from
threatened revolution is in duty bound
to be up and stirring. We must be
prepared to make such a showing of
strength and enthusiasm on to- morrow
night as will carry terror to the hearts
of the enemy, awaken the fighting
spirits of our friends and carry convic
ton OF our strength to the minds of
the doubtful. Every member of the
Ormsby County Union League should
be in attendance upon the regular
meeting this evening. Let US get to-
gether and make ready for to morrow
work.

THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA AND THE PRES.
IDENs.-lt will be remembered that in 1866 a
series of resolutions congratulating the En-
peror of Russia on his escape from assas-
sination were passed by Congress. On
Fl " last Baron Stoeckl, the Russ an Min
lister, presented to the President an auto
graph letter from the Emperor congratulate
ing him on his narrow escape from convc-
ton on the impeachment charges. AS the
latter was a mere matter of courtesy, q,ad
pro quo, we see no reason why his AccdI NY
or his few remaining adherents should feel
especially elated. 1t is said Baron Stoeckl
received the letter some time ago, but held
the same until the passage of the Alaska APP
preparation bill.-Washinaton Chronicle.
1t strikes US laughable, this does. The
humor of his Imperial Majesty is broad
enough to suggest the idea of its being Car
chasm.

the British Minister protested, demanding
protection for his subjects, President Salnave
threatened lis life.
The British war ship Favorite was prepar-
