REVISION OF THE CODE -Goyernor Uaiglt
and Newton Booth, Governor elect, have
joined in letter to Hon. c.. A. Tuttle and
Sidney l.. johnson requesting these gentle
men to examine the work of the Revision
Commission, in quasi official capacity, and
to give the result of that critical examina-
tion to the Legislature. The Revision Com
mission have performed a vast amount of
work, and the codes SO far completed have
met'wi!h universal commentator from the
press, and when reviewed by these two able
practising attorneys, Messrs. Tuttle and
johnson, and accompanied by their sugges-
tions, will be as perfect as the Legislature
could make the work. Indeed, we should
rather chance the work as it comes from the
Commission and these attorneys, than to
have it amended or tinkered with much by
the Legislature. We think the action of
the two Governors in this matter will be ap-
proved by the people and Legislature.

Mistaken Edmund We remember the war,
but must confess that the stealing and robbng,

dimmed, clouded and overshadowed the fight

that it ought to be forgotten by the American

MORE RINGs.-Baltimore, too. is
complaining of a Printing and Station
cry Ring, while the Philadelphia
Ring" according to the Ledger of
that city, shows that the city debt has
been increased 1000 900 within a
few years. a short time ago an or
dinance was introduced into the Phila-
delphia council appropriating $4,000.
600 to be disbursed by the water board
without specification, of a single item
for which the money was asked, and IN
face of the fact that responsible parties
avOwed their readiness to undertake
the work said to be o emplated for
$500, 900 less money. Tuesday this
ordinance vas passed BY "a strict
party vote" One member OF the
council remarked that ''nis party
would be benefited by the passage of
the bill" In this Philadelphia case
the members composing the ring call
themselves Republicans-as they do
in the cases OF Newark and Pittsburg,
lately ventilated, while in New York
they are called Democrats. 1t makes
a great difference with Republicans
whose OK is gored.-[N. y. Express.

GREAT FIRE AT VIRGINIA.

From the Gold Hill News of yesterday
Shortly after IL O'Clock to day a fire
broke out in the Mechanics Mill d
street, Virginia, between Smith and
Taylor streets, and in spite of all the
most energetic efforts of the whole
Fire Department, assisted also by that
of Gold Hill, the most destructive fire
ensued ever known at Virginia.
The burnt district extended from +
street. on the east. 10 Taylor and
Smith on the north and south. to
above n street on the west. How
many buildings were burnt or the
amount of property destroyed we
are unable to state just now, but the
fire included alarge number of wooden
buildings, as we'll as many supposed
to be fire proof.
On { street all the buildings were
destroyed from the Tahoe House to
Kennedy * Nallon'S two houses from
Taylor street. The Tahoe House was
Quilted, and two or three houses south
of it destroyed. On b street it en-
tended south to the residence of j. G..
Fair, Esq, which was saved by the
hardest work we ever saw done on
such an occasion. John Gillig'S resi-
dence was destroyed. Derby Il Ger
hearts stables, Crocker's residence,
Ruhling Il Co.'S assay office, Hobart's
residence, and on the west side of \
street the residences of Mulcahy and
Derby were destroyed.
The fire originated in the Mechanics
Mill. The same institution was on
fire two days ago, and it looks as
though somebody there was to blame
this time. When we left the city, at
> o'c ock, the fire was not quite con
quered, and the interior of Wells,
Fargo Il Co.'S building on c street
was thought to be on fire.

fire-proof. Six persons Were killed
and 81 wounded. Houses were blown
to the winds, and the cries of the
wounded filled the air. Many Of the
wounded will die. The Record says:

that tbs story Is exaggerated. ii en-
t,reIv true it would tend to show that
Jle State Prison of Nevada, the whole
history of which has been surrounded
with rum0rS of corruption and venai-
stv, is 4 shoddy affair after all the
money that has been expended on 1t.
Sacramento Record.
That it is a shoddy affair is pretty
we'll known in this State, though
now completely shoddy was never so
fully realized as since the late out
break. It has cost the State of Ne
vada a large sum, but ever now the
title te the grounds upon which 1t
stands is in dispute, and the building
itself is practically worthless. 1t is
a poor Reuse for a Prison compared
with the buildings known by that
name in other States, and it will re-
Guire the expenditure of considerable
money in the future to make 1t any
thing like safe. The State Prison is
DIG of those remnants of Radical
misrale and corruption b~equeathed
to the Democratic officials by former
administrations by which the Treas
my was bankrupted, and which left
a building on the hands OF the State
which is practically useless.

The Price OF Wool AND WooLENs.-
The Boston Daily Journal thus laments
over the advance in the price of wool
One of the evils of the late European
war, a lesser evil it is true, but still an
evil, is the great advance in the price Of
wool and wooden fabric. The most
marked change is in low priced woods,
from which blankets and clothing have
been made. Such vast quantities of
stock have been used necessarily by both
armies that there is almost wooden
famine in these grades. The same is
true to considerable extent here. As
IN example, in the lofts of one of our
largest houses, where usually may be
found hundreds of tuns Of wool, was seen
a few days since one solitary bale. The
effect of this is seen especially in the rap.
id advance in the price of carpets, which
are made from these coarse woods. The
sterling price has advanced in England
three times during the past few weeks
and further advance still is expected
Our own manufacturers have also found
it necessary to advance in their prices in
self.protection, and, it is said, there can
be no decline until the next clip yeai
hence
