COMMUNICATION FROM PAUL PRY.

EDITOR REGISTER: When the
clown in a circus or pantomime
comes out he generally begins with /:
"Ah! all! Here 1 ann" The editor
of the Virginia Enterprise visited
Carson on Tuesday, for the purpose
of hunting a mares nest--found it
as he fondly imagined; was borne by
the cars to Virginia; rushed furiously
into his sanctum and wrote his Eu-
reka in just as sensible a style as the
"Ah, ah," of the clown. Now. sir,
he knows about as much concerning
the Reform Club as he does about
the Northwest passage.
Being Corresponding Secretary of
the Club, [ can, from my own actual
knowledge, state that neither of the
gentlemen. mentioned by Mr.. Dag
gett in so t%attering a manner, have
the slightest knowledge of, or con-
nection with, the Club that is such a
terrible source of disquiet to that
very gentlemanly editor. Those
gentlemen have not even been APP
preached on the subject; but the
hint will be taken, and, if possible.
they will be prevailed on to become
members. Would to God that the
whole Republican party was as pure,
politically. as are H. Ct. Blasdel and
II. NJ. Clarke. There would then be
no need for reform in the party. |
do not know whether H. G.. Blasdel
is or will be a candidate for the
United States Senate. but I do know
that r. N. Clarke has not, nor
ever had any aspirations for the
Supreme Bench, however well he is
qualified to fill the position. beg
lea e to inform the editor of the En-
terprise that there 7 two hundred
conservative Republicans III this
township. How many times twelve
is that? When the editor Of the
Enterprise. [ mean of course the
present editor. or any other pon'e
jHiHded Republican, can show to the
satisfaction of the Union Reform
party, that to be a consistent Repub-
lican one must support such a man
as W. Sharon or ]. W. Nye for the
United States Senate. the club will
no doubt disbind and its members
fall down and worship the money
bags too.
Eighteen months ago a club was
formed, in Virginia City, existed
and did its work-that is beat the
Bank Ring-and not the astute Dag
gett or any other political Hercules
could discover its location or work
and the chances are he won't
now until too late. PAUL PRY.

OMAHA, January 22.-The Senate
secured another Senator to-day, max
ing a quorum. The office of Gov
ernor was then declared vacant and
a resolution for the election of a
Governor by a Joint Convention was
passed. The House assembled at 2
p. m. and ordered the Sergeant-at-
Arms to arrest the Chief Clerk, who
was absent, and compel him to re-
turn the journal of the House. Cop
sey refused to respect the warrant.
The Governor refuses to recognize
any Act Of the Legislature, having
prorogued that body on Friday, and
Senator Kennedy, who made the
quorum, has now gone home.

In reply to an article in this paper
relative to Alpine county, the Al
pine Chronicle says:
We intend to keep cool and roost
high" when We know that Gov.
Bradley is sneaking through Carson
Valley, like sacramento Chinaman,

and when a poor. forlorn and pow
erty stricken wretch calls at the
stately mansion OF our mother, who
has over a million of dollars, gold
coin, in the bank, and plenty mor
coming, and broad fields, lots of
oranges, lemons, figs, and all kinds
of other good fruits, and asks her to
give US to him to be taken to his
God-fOrsaken howell and fed on sage
brush washed down with alkali water,

Those stately mansions embosomed
in orange and fig tree groves in Al
pine county are exceedingly attrac-
tive. We are tempted to so up there
and spend the Winter.
But when the Chronicletalks about
the bankrupt treasury of Nevada
it must imagine that it is living in
the good old days of Republican
rule. Unfortunately for its refer
ence those days are no more. Under
q Democratic administration of a
single year the former vacuum in the
treasury has been filled with so
pieces, and goodIy bundles of green-
backs. Tue States old funded in
debtedness has been taken at rates
even lower than provided for in the
funding bills. Its debts have been
paid, all its outstanding warrants upto
the present month have been cashed,
and there is money left in the safe
for the future. During the past
wear Nevada has been running out of
debt as rapidly as it III into debt
Turing previous years. Its credit is
now good both at home and abroad.
There is not a State in the Union
that stands ] n a better financial posi-
ton today than the State of Nevada.

FATAL GIANT POWDER EXPLOSION.
"A cartridge of giant powder ex-
ploded at the Sutro Tunnel shaft
house No. l., at an early hour yes
terday morning, destroying the
building and instantly killing John
Martin, who was employed at the
windlass. A companion working
with him had gone down the shaft
about five minutes previously, leav-
ing Martin at the forge thawing out
this cartridge for use in putting in a
blast. Exactly how it took fire cannot
of course be known. but the eXplo-
sion was terrible, blowing the forge
entirely away and reducing the
house to kindling wood. The IN
fortunate man was found near by,
with his head badly torn and his
body considerably mutilated. He
was a native of Ireland, aged %
years and unmarried. The body was
taken to Dayton, where the funeral
takes place this afternoon. Giant
powder when in a frozen state is
perfectly safe as it will not explode,
therefore is of no use in blasting till
it is thawed. In this thawiLg pro-
cess some chemical condition not al
together understood seems to take
place, contact with fire not appar-
emily being necessary to ignite the
explosive compound.-Gold Hill
