The erection OF the Exposition build
ing has stirred up the Mardi Gras Com
mittee. Already the committee has Sc
cured two halls and bands Of music for
the next celebration. The committee
has offered FIVE hundred dollars for the
use of the Exposition building on Mardi
Gras night, so as to secure for the public
all the enjoyment possible, by placing
the price of admission to all the halls 50
low as to be within reach of all desiring
to attend or participate in the carnival.
The committee should have control OF
the entire affair, and thereby prevent
private parties from specializing on the
public. The success Of the carnival
last year, and the truly charitable appro-
priation of the funds to the support OF
the orphans, reflected the highest honor
on the members of the committee, who
are all known to be our most enterpris-
ing citizens, ...

IT GIVES me pleasure to inform you
concerning the efficacy Of the Expecto-
rant. Two years ago my son contracted
the bronchitis, and it became so bad he
had to take to his bed. procured a
bottle of Jayne's Expectorant, and CIV
ing it to him according to directions, it
soon brought him relief; but a strong
fever coming on. bis mother and myself
got uneasy about him, and sent for our
family doctor. On his arrival he told us
the Expectorant might give him ease,
but it would not cure him. so he gave US
some medicine of his own prescribing.
In one day, however, he was so much
worse we all feared he would die, and as
a last resort we concluded TO give the
Expectorant another trial. To our great
10Y, after taking two bottles of 1t and one
box OF the Sanatiye Pills, he was entirely
cured. Since that time have cured a
desperate case of Group with il, and two
other cases Of bronchitis. | therefore
can safely say it is the best medicine for
the throat and lungs / ever used for
twenty-eight years, and / have no objec-
ton to your making public my expe-
rience with it.-Peter SdHter, Ldns-

Iassrs. Kendall and Goodwin,
rival aspirants for Congress from Ne
vada. addressed the citizens of Car
sou. last evening. at the theater, to
a large audience. of which a goOdly
number of ladies were present. The
speeches of the two gentlemen diff
fered bat little in substance from
those delivered throughout the State
in the present campaign, consequent
" we deemed the labor and time &C.
cupied in writing up a synopsis OF
their arguments a mere waste OF
time. We may, however, briefly
mention that: in our opinion, Mr..
Kendall is far the best orator, and
having proven through one session
of Congress his sincerity of purpose
in tue interest of Nevada, those In
attendance, last evening, were more
confirmed Ia their minds than ever,
th.t a better man for the position
was unknown, and having the utmost
confidence in his integrity and in
domitahle energy, reiterated the
same outspoken verdict, Kendall is

Radicals that Grants reelection will
canse the party that supports the
Administration to be solidified,
arrogant and exacting than ever be
fore. and so far from it being their
desire to have Grant retire at the
end of his second term. if elected.
they will endeavor to so arrange il
that he may keep the office for an
indefinite period. The same reasons
that caused his friends to nominate
him for a second term will keep him
forever in office. and all the power
ful encinerv that the Administration
controls. the Federal patronage. the
vast power of the Government Off
cials will be exerted for that one oh
iect. to keep Grant in office. If a
second term was desirable to them a
third will be much more so and

The Supreme Court of New York,
in a recent case. has decided that
watches are not liable to execution
for debt. The New York Herald
SAYS:
The defendant had the miSfor-
tune to become involved IN debt. and
his property was handed over to a
receiver for the benefit Of his cred
itors. In this transfer of property
he refused, however. to part with
his watch. 4 motion was accord
inglv made to compel him 10 give mp
his timepiece. For the defendant il
was claimed that a mans watch was
nothing more or less than an article
OF dress. and that a creditor had no
more right to take it than n take
ones coat. On the other hand it
was insisted that 4 watch was an ar
ticle of luxury. and II that should

After hearing the argument the
Judge denied the motion 3: or. in
other words. to use his own language.

"a DEAD THING"

Grant men who imagine they have
" dead thing" on the election, or
Liberals who feel any way discour-
aged will do well to examine for
themselves the table of Electoral
votes to be cast and they will find
that Greeley's prospects are as good
as Grants, if not better. The num-
Der of electoral votes necessary to
choose a President is 1S4. The old
slave States give 13S. The election
in Georgia tends to show that there
is a possibility that all these States,
with the exception of South Caro-
lima, which seems to belong to
Grants man Moses, may, under GER
tain contingencies. go for Greeley in
November. Leaving South Carolina
out of the list. those States would
give him 131 votes. which is only %
short of the required to elect
him. Assuming for the purposes of
this calculation that Greeley will OBJ
tain these 131 Southern votes. where
in the North can he get the other 80
votes? New York casts 80. Indiana
-, and Nevada ), amounting to the
precise number required, Besides
these. there are New Hampshire.
