WHITE FINE COUNTRY.

! The citizens of the new mining dis
rrict are evidently in earnest in thei
movement in favor of new county
In the White Pine News of the Cd inst
we find the following synopsis OF some
proceedings recently had with regard to
the matter:
Meetings have been held bv the citizens Of
Treasure City, Hamilton and Silver Springs
to take action in relation to the formation OF
a new county. The proceedings of the meet
ings held in the latter places appear elsewhere
in this issue. The expression in favor of the
or anization of new county was unanimous.
As u the name to be given to the new c0un-
ty, there was some difference OF opinion
The name of White Pine seemed to be the
most appropriate, as being already well
known abroad, while that of Ruby. preferred
by some on account Of its being the name If
the Oldest settled valley in the proposed now
county, would be more appropriate for a
county embracing that valley, at some sub
sequent subdivision rendered Necessary BY
an increase of population. The settlement
of that portion of the proposed new county,
lying along the route of the Pacific Railroad
will be very rapid during the next two years
rendering 1t almost certain that a new county
will be demanded of the next legislature, to
be composed of the northern half Of that
region now proposed to be erected into a new
county. In such case the name of White
Pine would be peculiarly appropriate for the
remaining southern half, while that of Ruby
would tie the opposite, with Ruby Valley left
out, or tucked off in one corner.
The citizens of Silver Springs selected
I. NJ. Luther as their choice for County
He is al old resident,
popular and worthy citizen, and an excellent |
nan for tnat position. The citizens Of
have selected Mr.. Frank Wheeler |
Is their representative in the Board of Coun-
y Commissioners. This is also a good !
selection. 1t is already known that Frank
Drake is the choice OF the citizens of Treas
ire City.
1t is presumed that the Legislature will be
0verned by this expression of the wishes Of
he citizens OF the three principal towns in
tie proposed new county, and constitute
hose gentlemen a Board Of Commissioners.
md it is believed the Legislature will confer
n them the power OF appointing the county
Ulcers, to serve until the election is held, as
sked for by petition. 1t cannot be doubted
lat this Board can make appointments from ,
mong the present residents here more salts ;
ctory to the inhabitants generally than a I
legislature composed principally OF s.rapg ,
IS to them. {

A FRENCH journal reports the discovery
| of book of theological discussions written
by some Of the early monks, upon such ques-
tons as these; What was the shape of
the wings of the Archangel, Gabriel Ibid
Plate use soap when he washed his hands"
% How much wine did they drink at the mar
rage in Cana Are there any angels
with baritone voices Could Christ have
changed into a devil or into pumpkin" "If
a priest should be interrupted during the bap-
tism at a moment when about to pronounce
the name of the child, and should pronounce
Sapristi,' should the child bear through life
the name Of Sapristi, and is the baptism
va,id:''
1t is said that the discussion ofthese differ
ent questions nils three volumes of 500 pages
each. We record the discovery as an evil
denc that the tone of theological discussion
has not been much changed in these latter
ages. Most OF the topics now agitating sec
tartan churches are of little more value to the
cause Of true religion than the whimsical

MR.. HILLYER's RESOLUTION.

Hon. G. J. Hillyer has made move
ment in the Assembly looking to al
amendment to the Constitution guaran
teeing the right of suffrage to all citi
zens of the State, irrespective of color
or sex. This is a most important step
and one which We are glad to know has
been taken by so able a champion as
Mr.. Hillyer. The radical right to a
participation in its affairs of every citi-
zen of Republic whose governmental
fabric derives its virtue and vitality from
its fundamental principle that, "Gov-
ernments derive their just powers from
the consent of the governed" is not to
be disputed upon any logical grounds;
and " the word white =" which defaces
eur State Constitution should be erased
~ the unanimous consent of every man
who believes that the destruction of
slavery was right, and that where that
institution persisted, all its blighting
Incidents should have gone with it.
The black men of Nevada are Ameri-
cans, born upon the soil; aud, few as
they are, they respectfully ask for. and
should be accorded, the right to vote. |
Every principle of right is on the side
Of the proposition to enfranchse the
co!ored citizen. The denial of tina,
privilege is simply relic Of barbarism.
"The woman suffrage question is
jas; as strongly fortified by sound radi
cal principles as the other. Women are
citizens, often (almost as often as men,
We reckon, in the newer States), are
property holders AMI taxpayers; and
to vote upon the part Of q majority OF
Nevada womer- it is u perfectly clear
conviction in. our mind that there ought
not to exist any constitutional barriers
to the exercise OF the right of suffrage
smploy it. It would, most unquestion-
abiy, have a tendency to elevate the
moral status of poltica! transactions if (
women were to take 40 active part in
hem; what effect it would have upon ,
,ar lady friends to mix mp in primaries t
nd conventions, we cannot guess; but a
{ they want to vote they should be i;

,olls. It is needless to add that we +,

ARKANSAS.

General Grants Investigations int
the condition of affairs in Arkansas
have proved productive of some YER
important facts. Says late dispatch
An official report was received at Grant
. headquarters from Colonel Porter relative te
affairs in Arkansas. Colonel Potter relate
the condition of things in Arkansas prior t.
the organization of the MALTA and the decla
ration of martial law. He says the State
Government certainly was in some danger
previous to the Presidential election. He
fully indorses Governor Clayton's action, al
though many conservative Republicans
thought it unwise. He says the militia is
under tolerab!e control and that all the
p!undering, ETC., reported in the press, is the
taking of supplies under order, they being
instructed to live off the country. He says
| the Governors course accomplished much
more good than the most sanguine expected.
The Governor is now disposed to relieve each
| county from martial law as soon as it can be
done with safety. Colonel Porter compli-
ments Governor Clayton as a man of intelli-
gence and nerve.
Tnis is a partial revelation of facts
which there has been much reason for
suspecting to exist. The loyal authori-
ties of Arkansas found themselves as
sailed with murderous violence by the
Ku-klux khan, and other organizations
made up from the body Of the disbanded
rebel armies, and, after undergoing a
long series of outrages, by the operation
of which was to reader powerless civil
government, they rallied in self-defence
and, in strict accordance with constitu- |
sional rights, organized these militia
forces. 1t would be remarkable if there |
were net certain proportion of law
!essress enacted by troops thus called
into service; but loyalists will be glad
to know from this report of General
Grants aid, that, in the main they have
themselves with moderation.
and imposed no unnecessary conditions
1pon the inhabitants with whom they
have had to deal. 1t is evident that
Governor Clayton, like Governor Brown
ow, is determined to obtain and hold
he mastery over the rebels by whom be
5 surrounded.

A FERoCIoUs DUEL BETWEEN A CRRoLl
AND FRENcHNAS.-The famous duel!ns
ground on the Metairie ridge known as "Tht
| Oaks" was the scene Yesterday morning of q
saneuinary duel between two young men OF
| this city, which has rarely had its parallel in
the annals ofthe code in this country or in
Europe. The antagonists, were, the one a
naive of New Orleans, the other a French
man by birth; the provocatlon blow in the
| face at the hand of the creole the weapons
were broadsword~, the hour daybreak. Ar
rived on the field, accompanied by their sec
onds. the combatants stripped to the waist,
and sword in hand in the freezing air of the
morning sprang at one another like tigers.
There was no hesitation or playing to try
each others skill. X few lunges and cuts
were successfully parIicd, when suddenly an
up-cut fir m the Frenchman's sword wounded
mis- opponent in the ight arm. The rIposte
from the creole laid open the Frenchman' 3
+, cheek, la ing the inside open and exposing
the teeth. Nothing daunted, the wounded
man stepped back, had handkerchief bound
round his face and again put himself in atti-
tude of otfense. His first iunge penetrated
the breast OF his antagonist between the rib
and the skin, but it was made with such re-
lentleSs force that it passed through the off
arm. An attempt was made at this mOmen.
BY the seconds to stop the matter at that
point, but the man with the handkerchief
around his jaws rushed at the second who
was most anyi0 70 settle the matter, sword
in hand, asscyrr4ting that naught should
quiet his anino$ity except a cut across his
throat. The battle was renewed and lasted
until the creole had received eight wounds
and the other six, all severe and painful, but
none, it is hoped, dangerous. Both men dis
D1ayed extraordinary ppurapp arjnOsity and !
endurance, and during the course of the
bloody encounter neither was willing to give |
nD the contest until both had to let their |
hands fall helpless to their sides from loss
IF blood and the pain of their wounds. The |
PARTIES were carried home after having their |
wounds dressed, aud though the creole had
wo more wounds his situation was more
com Portable ard less critical than that CT his
o. Crescent.
