The SPECIAL LAW RELEASING RHODES

Mills, Moore, McBe.h, Phelan, Small.

the upper house of the Nevada Legisia-
ture has solemnly declared that official
bonds are an empty form and mockery
that the honest taxpayers of the State
shall never have perfect security that the
money wrung from them by the inexor-
able provisions of the revenue act will
be legally and honestly applied. 1t is
precedent to instigate and encourage,
official malfeasance through all coming
time. The facts that the bondsmen of
Mr.. Rhoades-if such are the facts-are
honest men, good citizens and unable to
withstand the forfeiture provided for in
the bond, have nothing to do with the
merits of the case. When public inter-
est and stern duty under the law are
involved, private considerations have no
right to intrude. In this case, feelings
of generosity to individuals carried into
law have become crime to the COM
monwealth. The taxpayers of the State
have been defrauied. We would not
have objected to a relief bill, refunding
to the sureties their losses; but to give
them an unqualified release is-damna-
be. That is the only word that ade-
quctely expresses the reprehensibility
of the act.

THE PROPOSED POSTAL TEL
EGRAPH.

The contamination of this great scheme,
which looks TO the practical abolition of
the present system of communication
through the mails, giving the nation in
lieu of it cheap means of transmitting
intelligence by telegraph, We consider
only a question of time; and we think
We owe it to the public who support us
(and that every newspaper III the land is
under the same obligationto its patrons),
to place ourselves, emphatically and IN
unequiyocally, on the list of those who
advocate this transcendentally important
measure. The newspapers of the coun-
try should unite their influence in favor
Of the postal telegraph with perfect har-
mony and urge its early establishment
with all vigor and their best ability. 1t
IS step in advance demanded by the in
creasing intelligence and general pro-
gress of the times. A people who, within
a century, have redeemed to civilization
a continent of barbarism and cross-lined
It with railroads from ocean to ocean,
building in a single lifetime, and thou
sands OF miles apart, as great cities as re-
quired centuries of industry in the an
tique ages, should be favored by their
Government with the speediest means of
lntCrchanging ideas between distant
points known to science. The postal
telegraph must supercede railroads,
stages and horse back sacks. If we do
not enjoy its advantages, the next gerer-
alton will be sure to. 1t is progressive
step Of destiny manifest. Then its estab-
hshment being only question of time,
why not take the preliminary steps for
the new order Of things at once? If de-
ferred for twenty years, will not the
financial problem be as great as now?
VIII not the great telegraph monopolies
be stronger TO offer resistance than at the
present time? We hope Commission
VIII be provided for by the present ses-
sion Of Congress to Immediately investi-
gate the probable cost of inaugurating
the proposed new system. If private
corporations will not surrender their
lines on fai terms, of about the cost of
construction, the Government should
erect parallel lines. The business inter.
ests of few hundred monopolists should
not and must not be stumbling block
in the progress Of the nation and inconve.
nience and prejudice the business inter.
ess of millions.

named closed his remarks by saying
That it was impossible for an Ameri-
can citizen to open even a butcher S shop
without license from Brigham; that he
had monopoly of all the whisky manu-
featured in the Territory; that the poor
whites brought from Europe were his
spiritual, political and social slaves, and
that it was disgrace to a civilized and
Christian nation to permit within its
midst an institution which degraded the
sacred character of woman and raised
children upon whose brow nature stamped
in ineflable letters the word bastard. -

diction of the House in the premises,

be treated nevertheless as within the
jurisdiction of the present House. In
relation to Anes he sold to members
Credit Mo5ilier stock at par, when it was

after which Poland said no action was
decided upon until after the report was

THANKSGIVING BALL.-Tne dance given
Thursday night for the benefit OF the
Catholic Church was success III every
respect. Moore & Pari,er's large hall
was crowded. No merely local gathering
Of people in Carson was ever SO great.
1t reminded one almost of the Citizsns'
and Legislative balls of last Winter.
The assemblage was essentially dsmo-
cratic-Eot politically speaking by any
means, although our friends OF the op-
posite party were not without their rep
resentatiyes there, but socially. All
went: the leaders of the tan, rs well AS a
host Of those to whom that little foreign
word has heavy sound. The music
was iicstratc; and the dancing was Ell
jnyed very much in spite of the wind
bowling outside like seven devils. The
supper was also ticstrate-so they said
who got any: bEt no calculation had
l,een made for the unexpected multitude
and some OF the later visitors to the
festive board confined their repast to
coffee. There Eas no reason to regret
this neutrality-suspicious. =. however,
as the days b. dinner had been very
generous. Towards four in the morn
iag the dancing stopped, and those who
had not gone before. went away then,
struggling home tired 10 death, feeling
ike damp dish cloths.
