o RAILROAD.

We rode out on the line Of the Viz
ginis and Truckee Railroad to-day. and
ascertained a few facts concerning its
progress. About six hundred men are
at work along the line filling up gaps,
cutting through hills. and finishing the
grades in different places. About four
hundred are at work in different squads
below Tunnel No. l, but in q few days
they will nearly all be moved up to the
line between Rigb,'s mill, on American
Flat, and Virginia City. The managers
Of the road express confidence that the
fills, cuts, and grades will all be ready
to receive tie ties and rails, from Car
son to Virginia City, within one month,
or even less time. The rolling stock Of
the road is being put together and
gradually shipped from San Francisco,
and the East, by the Pacific Railroad.
The iron rails are now being transport
ed from San Francisco to Sacramento,
n vessel load of which will arrive there
tonight, and will be sent to Reno in a
few days, to be hauled to Carson City,
when track-laying will be commenced
with all the force aud energy which may
be required. In November we shall see
the iron horse snorting up through
American Flat and Gold Hill.

I. SAN FRANCISCO, September Q, 1869.
JOHN C. LEE, Esq, Agent, State Of Nevada:
Dear Strive are this day in receipt Of advice
from tho President OF our Company, that tho
loss under Policy No. 1904 (amount insured,
5000, on tho life Of A. E. C.. Miller, Of Port
land, Oregon, would be promptly paid.
The circumstances In this case arc as follows:
Mr.. Miller died suddenly, August 2, 1859, and
the premium due on his policy in January last
remained unpaid, through embarrassment or
neglect on tho part Of Mr.. Miller. Thus seven
months have elapsed since said premium has
been due and unpaid.
The case gives us an example on this coast Of
the very great benefits derived from our MAS
sAcHUsETTs NoN.FoRFEITURE LAW.
and the equity Of tho Policies Of the OLD NEW
ENGLAND MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY. The surrender value Of this Policy,
under the law and tho conditions Of the Policy,
would continue samc in force for tho full
amount insured until February, 1872.
This Policy was issued In 1868, and one.half
note was given in payment Of the premium each
year up to January, 1868.
HAD MR.. MILLER BEEN INSURED IN
ANY OTHER COMPANY DOING BUSINESS
ON THIS COAST, HIS POLICY WOULD
HAVE BEEN FORFEITED.
Our Company pays the face Of this Policy,
viz: 5000, less the premium that should have
been paid last January, and the interest thereon
Yours respectfully,
EvERSoN & HAINES,
General Agents,

THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT.
OFFICE OF SECRETARY OF STATE, /

OFFICE OF SECRETARY OF STATE
CARSON CRY, SEPT. II. 1869.
FRIEND LYNCH My attention has
pesu called to your article concerning
the ratification Of the proposed Fiji
teenth Amendment to tie Constitution
of the United States, by the Legislature
of this State, at its last session.
The Legislature did, at its last ses-
sion, pass a joint resolution ratifying
said Amendment, and it is true, the
Legislature did not instruct me to for
ward certified copies of the resolution
to any one, neither has the Governor
asked for q certified copy for that pur-
pose, hence the resolution has not been
forwarded, and do not conceive that
such a course is at all necessary, mas
much as the resolution is printed with
the laws aud made a part thereof, aud
is as much q notice OF the action of the
Legislature, until impeached, as any
othef statute or resolution in the book
and q copy Of each statute and joint
and concurrent resolution is fled with
each head Of department at Washing
ton, and two copies to the library OF
Congress and one TO each Of our Seua-
tors and Representatives in Congress.
can conceive of no better notice that
could be given than is already given in
this case. The question raised, | be-
lieve, does not 90 to the action itself Of
the Legislature, but as to the notifica.
ton given to Congress By the State.
The Constitution of the United States,
upon this question, or rather subject,
says that when three-fourths Of all the
States shGH hare ratified any amendment
proposed by Congress, the anne shall
be and become q part Of the Constitu-
tion hence you will see that no partic-
ular form of ratification is necessary
nothing but the naked fact as to wheth.
er the States have or have not taken
such or such action is required. | for
one should deem the fact that such rati-
f~ication has been published to the world
alongside Of other Acts Of tue Legisla.
ture, iu the bound Tolume Of the sta
tutes, brought home TO the knowledge
Of the President and each head Of do
partment at Washington, sufficient
notice that the Fifteenth Amendment
had been ratified by the Legislature.
As well might the editor Of the Elko In.
dependent, or any one else, or even the
Government at Washington, dispute any
other Act Of the Legislature, rs having
been legally passed, as this one. The
truth is, they are all, both statutes and
resolutions, deemed aud taken rs evil
dence OF the action Of the Legislature
until the same are %impeached from, or
by certified copies Of the record of the
Legislature, showing that such action
was not had.
l have written somewhat hurriedly,
hence have not prepared my letter for
publication. You are at liberty, how
ever, to refer to i. and make such edi-
,orial comments as you may deem jus,
and proper, trust that you will agree
with me in saying that sufficient notice
has been given. 1t would be an act of
supereroga,ion On my part, unless spe.
cially Instructed, to notify any one, or
any body Of men, Of the action Of the
Legislature in any case.
Yours Truly,
C. N. NorEwARE,
Secretary Of State |

A LOST HUsRAND.-A few days ago a
young woman, apparently about 30
years Of age, stopped at the house Of q
farmer living a few miles east Of town,
and asked to remain for the night. She
was a.foot, weary with the days walk,
and without friends or means. The
farmer was too humane to turn her
away from his door, and she was per-
United to remain. In the evening she
told her story. She was in search Of
her husband, a young gentleman Of the
name of Stephen E. Turner, who, she
said, came to where she was earning
her living by doing homework in q
family near Plattsburg, and wooea and
won her love and affection. They were
married, and went to Plattsburg, taking
boarding with tho lady's widowed
mother. They had remained there some
weeks, when young Turner determined
to como to St. Joseph to buy furniture
for the purpose Of going to bousekeep-
lug on his own account. Telling his
wife the intention, he left for that pur-
pose. Ho started to come to st. Joseph.
He has never returned. The matrimo-
NAL tie is more strongly placed with
women than it is with men. So Mrs.
Turner set out to look for her husband,
without once suspectiug be might have
taken the back track and didn't come
to St. Joseph ut all. 1t is needless to
say she didn't find bin. She posted a
letter, however, directed to some Uto-
plan place be may have told her Of, and
accepted the offer Of a situation to work
at the house for the farmer where she
stopped, and where she now remains.
It may be best that she should get over
this affair, and it is to be hoped that
she will cease singing leone back,
