THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

is known, and the kindest feelings are
entertained and expressed towards all
our people.
THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
The political situation in Virginia is
not generally understood by the people
of other States. They have here sort OF
two headed government, part military
and part civil. Just now, General
Webb is the head of the former and
Governor Wells the chief officer of the
latter. The chief officers throughout
the State are in complete subsection to
the military power and hold their offices
by virtue of general orders" A vast
amoant of Inconvenience has been re-
Gently occasioned by an order vacating
all civil offices whose occupants could
not take "the ironclad test OATH II
many counties there was not left sim
gle civil officer, from Judge down to
Constable. A farmer in an adjoin-
ing county detected some ne
groes driving off his hogs; he gave chase,
but was assaulted and driven back by
the thieves. He then sought for mag
istrate, but could find no one with au-
thOrity to order the arrest, aud when he
did finally succeed in procuring a war
rant, neither sheriff nor constable could
be found to execute the process. The
same hardship manifested itselfin many
other ways. No person was authorized
to administer an oath or authenticate a
deed, and have heard of several sadly
disappointed lovers who could not con-
summate their anticipated bliss because
there was no officer to grant the neces-
sary license.
HOW THE OFFICES ARE FILLED.
The consequences of this state of
things have been an influx of carpet
baggers and a vast amount of hard
swearing. The bait has proved too
fascinating for some who were once
proud TO be ranked as "good Confeder-
ates," and boasted loudly of their
prowess in the deadly fray, but have
now gulped down the test oath, OBJ
tanned office, and lost the respect of
their fellow men. In many instances,
the new appOintees are men in every
way incompetent TO discharge the du-
ties of the Offices into which they have
been thrust. There are newly appoint
ed Judges of Circuit Courts whose
former practice as lawyers was infnit-
esimal, and whose knowledge of law
was even less, and Justices of the
Peace who interpret their official 81. p
to signify "jest 'pinted." The appoint
ments to Federal offices are not much
better, and have heard of fseveral post.
masters at important points who can
neither read nor write. Occasionally,
however, good appointment has been
made and the people are duly thankful
therefor. There is no intolerance of po-
litical opinion, no persecution for opin-
ions sake, and whoever is entitled :. to
respect in any enlightened community
will receive it here, no matter whence
he comes or what his political views
may be.

FOUND DEkD-About ID o'clock on
Monday morning, the occupants of a
Chinese brotheI on Silver street, near
Fifth, discovered one of the female in
mates of the house dead. Upon an in
different examination by the authorities
summoned, il was concluded that sSe
died from an overdose of opium, but
whether administered by her own hand,
o. designedly by her companion, was
not ascertained. Suspicion of foul play
points to her eonlpdnero, who could not
be found during the day, and it is also
rumored that a " bite man, who had stop
ped in the house the night before, had

opium and left for parts unknown. in

FRoN CARLIN, NEVADA correspon-
dent of the Union, writing from Carlin
December 11th, says:
The mineral interests of Railroad and
Mineral Hill Districts are becoming wide
" and fsvorably known. A few months
more will, 10 doubt, develop some of
the finest mines in the State. A great
deal of rich ore in Railroad District is
being taken out, preparatory to shipping
to the reduction works at Reno and San
Francisco. The most prominent mines
are the Humboldt, Nevada, Bullion Nos.
l and 2, Hope, South Fork. Bamboo,
Mountain View, Snowdrop, Pixley, Sill.
YER Glance, Orphan Boy, etc. These
mines are ON the east side of the range
of mountains, where the most extensive
bodies of mineral have as yet been found,
the natural outlet from which is Carlin,
a distance of sixteen miles. There are
other mines on the west side of the noun
tains, the ore from which will, no doubt,
find ils way TO the railroad at Palisades,
and do not believe the officers of the
railroad company have any desire to dis
commods the few people who reside at
Palisades. No doubt that when the ship.
meut and reshipmen, to and from there
will justify, the company will erect
depot and establish a freight Office.

horses of these three men, and that after a
careful examination of the trail, the witness
believed it to be identical in appearance with
the one leading from the dead bodies Of the
men. The witness was Of the opinion that
the murder was committed by this party.

SHERMAN's LOVE FOR MUsIe.-Sitting be-
fore his tent, in the glow of a camp FIRE, one
evening, General Sherman let his cigar 60
out to listen to an air that distant band was
PLAYING. The musicians ceased at last. The
General turned to one of his officers:
"Send an orderly to ask that band to play
that tune again."
A little while, and the band received the
word. The tune was The Blue Juniata,"
with exquisite varitions. The band played
it again, even more beautifully than before.
Again it ceased, and then off to the right,
nearly . quarter Of a mile away, the voices
of some soldiers took it up with words. The
band, and still another band. played a low
accompaniment. Camp after camp began
singing tie music Of "Thc Blue Juniata"
became for few minutes the o.atorio Of
half an army.

CURE FOR EADaCHE.-George Ken !

suggests the following remedy:

! LURE FOR EADiCHE-ueofSe Men
MON, distinguished British physician
suggests the following remedy:
| The remedy, as I have already OBJ
served, is simple. II is the bisulphide
of carbon in solution. Its mode of ap
plication is 70 less simple. A small
quantity of the solution {aboui two
uracnms Is poured upon cotton wool,
with which small, wiGe-moUibed
glass-stoppered bottle is balf flied.
This, of course, absorbs the fluid; and,
when the remedy has to be used, the
mouth of the bottle is to be applied
closely $50 that none of the volatile
vapor may escape) 10 the temple or be-
hind the ear; or as near as possible to
tie seat of pain; and so held for from
three to five or six minutes. After il,
has been applied for a minute or two,
a sensation is felt as if several leecbes
were biting the part ; and ;. after the
lapse OF two, three, or four minutes
more, the smarting and pain become
rather severe, but subside almost i'm
medrately after the removal of the
bottle. 1t is very seldom that any red
ness of the skin is produced. The effect
ot this application, as | have said, is
generally immediate 1t may be APP
piled, if necessary, three or four times
in the day.
The class of headaches in which this
remedy is chiefly useful, is that which
may be grouped under the wild term OF
NERVOUS" Thus neuralgia headache,
periodic headache, hysterical headache,
and even many kinds OF dyspeptic head
ache, are almost invariably relieved by
it; and, although the relief of a system
is a very different affair, of course, from
the removal of its cause, vet. no one
v no mas witnessed land who of us has
not SCENT the agony and distress occa
stoned by severe and repeated headache,
but must rejoice in having the power OF
afording relief in so prompt and sim
pie manner.

CHICAGO, December l5.-The Illinois Con-
stitutional Convention at Springfield spent
the entire day in discussing the question
whether the members should take the oath
to support the Constitution of the State.
Finally an amendment was adopted that the
members shall take an oath to support so
much of the State Constitution as is not in
compatible with the duty imposed on them in
altering that instrument. The Convention
then adjourned until tomorrow. A lively
fight will probably transpire over the organi-
cation of the Convention.

WHEREAS, A Bill is now pending in the
Legislature of this State, entitled, {" An

Resolved, That while it is necessary to
raise sufficient revenue to meet the re-
quirements of the State, taxation should
be imposed equitably upon all classes Of
our citizens, without discrimination.
Resolved, That this meeting, hereby
gives expression to its respectful but ear
nest remonstrance against the passage Of
said bill.
Resolved, That the Chairman of this
meeting appoint a committee to procure
the signatures of our citizens to this re-
munstrance, and to present the same to
the Legislature now in session.
In pursuance of the above resolution the
Chairman appointed Messrs. J. NJ. Cox,
Charles Tatman, Jr. James Scowdrick,
Samuel w. Roberts, and on motion, the
Chairman, John A. Reynolds, was added
10 the Committee.
