SUICIDE At QUINCY, ILL.
One Moro Unfortunate Conc to lie

On Saturday afternoon about 3
o'clock, q young woman of this city
named Belle Purvis left her home in
the Northeastern portion of the town.
and going down to the river. obtained
passage on the ferry boat to the other
side, where 1t was supposed she was
going to visit some friends in Missouri.
Her people felt little or no alarm
about her going away, rs she went ont
and in rs suited her own pleasure, and
not being in the habit of giving an ac-
count of her movements, no questions
were asked when she left her house.
1t seems, however, that instead of
going to her friends In Missouri, she
took tho road which leads TO fabiuS
River, and after wandering up and
down that frozen stream until IL WaS
quite dark, she finally went TO q
farm house in the vicinity, and there
obtaining an aX, again returned to the
river and, deliberately cutting n hole
in the ice, plunged in and drowned
herself!
W. do not remember of having
eyer heard of such i singular method
of self-lcstruction to think of the
girl actually crossing the Mississippi
River and walking three or four miles
to n frozen creek TO drown herself, ar
irving there and finding the stream
frozen, she borrows an aN and after
cutting n hole in the ice jumps into the
water!
The girl, and her whole family also,
1t is alleged, are not of the very best
character; their names have appeared
once or twice, we believe, upon the po-
lice record, and no doubt the poor girl
became tired of the miserable life She
was leading .-Quincy W.) Why Jan.

The STATE OF VIRGINIA.-Thc State
of Virginia being again on an
equality with all the other States, it is
well to mention upon what grounds
she was again admitted to representa-
ton in the national forum. Under the
Senate bill the members af the Legs
lature and all State officers are only
eligible If they car take the oath pre-
scribed by the third section of the
Fourteenth Article of the Constitution,
until the disabilities imposed by said
section have been removed by Act of
Congress. And further, that the Con-
stitution of the State shall never be
altered so rs to deprive any class of
citizens Of the franchise, who, under
the Constitution Of the Union, have
the right to yOte-persons convicted Of
felonies at common law excepted.
And that it shall be unlawful for Vir-
ginia to declare ineligible to State
offices any Of her citizens OF account
of race, color oil u previous state of
servitude. Nor shall she v deprive
of educational privileges any citizens
of the United States.

SECRETARY SCENARIOS Mexican
speeches have not produced any per-
ceptible good effect oh the people Of
the uneasy "sistcr Republic" RevO-
buttons are springing up like mush-
rooms all over Mexico, pronuncia-
mentos are as abundant rs b~lackberries
in July and August, and the number
of Independent standards that are be-
ing elevated bid fair to be limited only
by the number Of States wherein to
raise them. In these multifarious per-
turbations the MeXicans above all
things evince q hatred of foreigners.
1t would be well for all the latter to
withdraw from the country, and allow
the natives to eXterminate each other
ut their own sweet will. This is not n
humane eXpedient, but it is the only
practical one, for the Mexican is q
born anarchist the ardent desire of
his life is to change governments every
week, and shoot or be shot in the at
temDt.

The train left Omaha OH Thursday

SENATOR From MIssIssIrPI.- For
the information of the public, and
especially the members of the Demo-
cratic party, we have been DESTROYS OF
a%sccrtalning some information in re-
gard to the antecedents and present
status Of Hiram II. Revcl, the colored
United States Senator from Mississippi.
We have especially desired it might so
happen that the p%cyS0aeYc and attain
mcnts of the Senator elect might not
be such us to dishonor the seat that
was once occupied by Jefferson Davis,
the chief of the late Southern Confcd-
eracy. We are happy to state that our
expectations have been realized. We
not only find that he is the peer of the
ex-rcbel President In point of being a
freeman by birth, in native talent,
attachments and purity of character,
but his superior in loyalty and useful
ness of life. We have no doubt that
his representation will confer o
honor upon his State and the country
than that of his rather too distinguished
predecessor.-,S0c. Union.

AN EXPLANATION WANTED.

For some days we nave Dcen lOohiiiS
for a statement Of the facts surround
ing the recent cowhiding of Conrad
Wie"and by Gen. John b. Winters-a
statement from Mr.. Lynch, Of the
GOLD HILL. News. The &C pdrte state
ment of WieSand was given i'll the
ENTERPRISE, but it is so plainly and so
necessarily prejudiced by the feelings
of the author, that we did not feel at
liberty to accept it. a statement from
Lynch, detailing the causes, arguments
and processes, ought to be given.
With the two statements at hand, Il
fair Judgment might be made up. As
nearly as we can get ut the facts, VIE
gand made publications which instn-
H1ated scoundrelism upon Winters, while
he studiously avoided putting those in
situations In the responsible form OF
charges, although, rs he abjectly al
mits, he had put his property out OF
his hands for such vile purpose, to
evade responsibility for libel. Winters
demanded an unconditional r%etractior.
Wiegand refused to grant 1t. Winters
cowhided him. All outside Of this, so
far rs we can see, Is mere yerbiage,
sound and fury, and sniveling Of the
whipped spaniel. We regret, as a
friend, that Winters was SO delicate
about the chastiseVent as to do 1t In
a corner. 1t ought to have been
done, If at all, at MONDAY, in the
street. When you want a tlrst-class
scoundrel, always look. for him under
the cloak Of piety. This Wiegand
oyerlOcs mecknesS, and makes too
much parade of his stripes. His news
paper articles savored Of malice
which true Christianity has zone of.
His professions Of meekness, his talk
about praying, mesmerizing, and all
that parade Of a forgiving spirit, are
cant and hypocrisy, fit for the man who
wants to publish libelous matter and
not be responsible, neither on the
street nor In the Court of law. We
think Winters was ,justiflable in his
Indignation, but almost as foolish In
his tactics as Wiegand could have been.
-Uhte Pine Ners, Jan. 90.
As Mr.. Wiegand has time and again
threatened to have General Winters
arrested under the law, for the oftensc
OF committing an assault and battery
upon him, we have delayed any fur
tier "statement concerning the mat
ter than the one VIC published the
second day after the cowhlding oc-
Cured, expecting that whatever We
knew concerning it would be elected
by a legal examination. Seven
teen days have now passed, with
out Mr.. Wiegand seeking any legal
redress - hoping perhaps that his
own very elaborate and in many
respects untrue statement" would be
accepted by the public. I intend pub
fishing, in a few days, q full and
correct statement of the exact con-
v~ersation which occurred between
General Winters and MI. Wiegand,
and the public may judge for itself. 1
trust, also, to be able to vindicate
myself of the foul charges of "con-
spiracy to murder and assassinatc,"
aud acting in bad faith towards MI.
Wiegand in asking him into my office
to have an interview with General
Winters-in making which charges
Mr.. wiegand has done me a gross
injustice. p. LYNCH.

NEVADA.

The wonderful changes that will
transpire in n few years arc most fully
demonstrated In our own State. The
rich gold fields of California, with her
large and productive valleys, the long
line of sea coast, enormous shipping
trade, numerous navigable rivers,
which penetrate to almost every part
of the State, served to raise her from
obscurity to q high position as q State,
in a few wears. But q single decade
has elapsed since what now constitutes
the Silver State first began to attract
attention. Before that time but little
was known of the territory. which lies
within its present boundaries, beyond
what was reported by the emigrants
who had Travelled thousands of miles
over the arid plains and mountains be-
tween the Missouri River and the ST.
erras. Of whatever redeeming quail
tiles Nevada possessed, those way-worn
pilgrims were poor judges. Not until
1850 was anything known of her rich
lodges. During that year the noted
Comstock began to attract attention.
Few were willing to give any credence
to the reports concerning this world
renowned lode. Those who had passed
over the vast sage plains and alHaii
flats which stretch away from north
to south, between the ranges OF moun-
tains, as far as the eye can penetrate,
were unwilling to acknowledge ina
this was a land of unrivaled wealth:
The Comstock, however, dispelled
all doubts when it began to
send forth q stream Of wealth such rs
had never before been known. Gradu-
ally the mountain ranges lying TO tne
eastward vert prospected,. anu the
mines of Lander Hill were developed,
which proved to be a great accession
to the wealth Of the new Territory.
As the mines became developed they
fell into the hands of capitalists, anu
the hardy ~prospector started In search
of a new field White Pine, not yet
one and a half years old, was discoV-
cred. The wonderful richness OF the
mines, and the large deposits of metal
OH the surface, had the effect to double
the resources of the new state. Iholl-
sands of people rushed to the new
mining fields. Some have made White
Pine their place Of operations, while
hundreds scattered out over a. large
scope of country to the east, west,
north and south. A hundred new dis
tricts have been discovered, all OF
which show rich mineral-bearing veins.
In every portion of the State Is more
or less good agricultural land, while
more than one-half of its lands are
better adapted to stock-growing than
any portion Of California. What the
next ten years will make of Nevada
remains to be seen /; but, judging from
the past and the prospects for the
future, she will soon rank In point OF
wealth with the first in the Union.-
Inland Empire.
