pearande on the streets, but lie Is be-
sieged by a crowd Of admirers and
felfowst that want something. The
old gentleman has been suffering
somewhat from an attack Of the quinn
sey contracted during his journey to
tho Capitol.
Tho Inauguration.
There are a great many conflicting
opinions as to the precise and proper
date, on which the ceremony should
take place, some parties advocating
the Sd and others the 9th of January,
and both sides bring arguments to
bear about calendar years and
official years, and the intent of the
Observation-Disclosures and the strict let
ter. ETC., enough to bewilder even n
"Daboll " or old Jefferson himself.
I understand that Governor Blasdel
Inns or intends to tender his resignation
to take effect on the Sd, 80 that would
make 1t all right as far as the Cover
nor Is concerned. But the main hitch
Is in the
- hHO cpuhtCs
Each political party wishes to have its
particular Lieutenant Governor for
presiding officer at the organization
on account of the putting up of the
Committees, etc. The Republican SEN
ators say that they will only recognize
S~lingerland until the 9th, and the
Democrats contend that they have no
right to organize under him as his
term Of office will have expired on the
Sd. / am not OH the inside and don't
know how they'll fix it up, I only
know that there Is buzzing and loaning
Of ears for a minute too plenty.
The Inauguration Bail.
Great preparations are making for
the Inauguration ball, which Is adver-
tised for January Sd, and which will
in all probability BIO a heightened and

slams got before Paris recherche affair.
Your correspondent will ondeavor to
be there if he can dead-head In, and
will take a few notes. This word

cldent which occurred here yesterday.
Standing in front of Mart. Reese's |
noticed an old gentleman who, Mt a
glance, I put down for exactly what
lie is-one Of those old three-time
loser Southern Chivalry Democrats
who had come to Carson to witness for
the first time the regeneration of an
enlightened people from the rule of the
tyrannical and corrupt and all-that's-
bad Republican party. He was dressed
us you, Mr.. Editor, with the weight of
unnumbered years upon your Shout
dcrS, have often seen the class of men
of which this subject Is a type-a long
tailed coat, broad-brim felt hat, yclept
planters, and cane tucked under his
arm. He was chewing the cud Of
"black-strap and meditation" on the
corner, when suddenly a member from
Hibernia appeared upon the scene,
and, spying the gent from South Caro-
lima, rushed toward him, and extend
tending his hand, exclaimed: 'Cunnel,
allow INC to congratulate we OH seeing
ye here under n Democratic re.jeam"
I suppose he meant regimcl and also
remarked: "'Things has '1lopped,' amt
they?" Whsreupon the aforesaid
Colonel, drawing himself 10 his full
hight and his cane from under his arm,
exclaimed: "tFlopped,' sir, is not the
word to express IT." and thereupon
entered into an eloquent disquisition
on the causes which had led to such
an uprising of tho white folks Of tho
land, and had brought about n con-
summation so devoutly wished for. In
the midst of which, surrounded by adj
mirlng listeners and five wondering
Indians, he was left by =.
