THERE have been several bnlos OF
water.packed cotton brought Into THIS
market this week. Farmers cannot be
too particular In attending to the
proper ginning Of their cotton. Where
II IL falsely, or water-packed, II IL not
IN q saleable condition. Where fraud
Is intened, the parties knowingly
bringing In such cotton may rest as
sured buyers will at once detect the
trick, and sales cannot be made. Our
farmers and ginners owe II TO them
selves to pack In good faith, for there
Is certainly nothing to be gained by a
clumsy attempt at fraud by water
packing cotton. 1t is too easily dis
covered. Honesty is the best principle.

The Present Congress.

A writer in the Washington Republic
thus concludes an able article ON the
work Of the present Congress. In tho
main it is true, but it is plain that the
writer is unacquainted with Mr.. Sutro.
Perhaps, however, the great bore is not
regarded as an ''unwelcome character
in the corridors and reception rooms
II can be said with truth that no legis-
latiye assembly was ever more diligent
or more Industrious than the present
Congress. None will outstrip 1t in the
private life and personal probity Of its
members. There has been almost an
entire absence of even the appearance Of
things calculated to excite unfavorable
suspicion or remark. The lobby has
been absolutely nowhere. No jobs have
been put up; no schemes pressed upon
Congress; the corridors and reception
rooms have been singularly free from all
manner Of unwelcome characters, and
not a single member Of the House or Of
the Senate. so far as we know. has given
any c~ountenance 10 that which could be
Justly open to severe criticism. An I'M
mense amount Of work has been done by
the committees. and in the public dis
cussions, investigation, research, tho
display OF facts and figures showing the
actual condition Of each great separate
interest Of the country has been simply
stupendous.

Centennial Celebration.

We claim the floor. We lay a pre-
emption claim TO the Centennial Fourth
Of July celebration. We locate the
same in Carson-First, because this is
the Capital OF the State; second, be-
cause this is the State Capital; and
third, because it is the Capitol Of the
State. And here follows what we have
to say by way Of Precipitation to our
neighbors: That next year, 1875. we OF
| Carson and vicinity give DER any pro-
ject Of n local celebration, and. instead.
raise a contribution to help the virgini-
and Gold Killers To have u grand
celebration up there. Indeed, with the
sparse population OF these parts, there
is not u sufficient amount OF material to
get up a grand celebration unless we all
join in and make il n big me-. Carson.
this year, will have u handsome local
celebration and 80 will Virginia; and
doubtless Reno will have one too: but
in order 10 have something %extraorlin-
AIRY, something commensurate with the
Centennial. we should all club together.
Our proposition TO have u big time in
Virginia. next year. is made with u view
to doing the fair thing with them-in-
anguraiing u system of alternating cele-
brations. turn and turn about, one year
here and the next year there. There is
no use making two bites Of a cherry, nor
in cutting up our celebrating material
into half a dozen parcels and distribut-
ing the same amongst Virginia, Gold
Hill, Dayton. Genoa, Carson and Reno.
At any rate We speak, right now we
think OF il, for general jolli6cation in
Carson in 1876. What say our neigh
bors S-Cdrson appeal.
We concur.

A Suicidal Bath.
Iron the 5. p. Chronicle Of yesterday

From the $. Y. Chronicle Of yesterdsy.l
Yesterday evening at o o'clock a port
ly man entered the Cosmopolitan shay.
ing saloon and ba,h-house on Bush
street. and at his request was shown 10
a bathroom. AT half-past Z O'Clock he
had not come out OF the room, and some
apprehension vas excited ty his nom
appearance. A short consultation was
held, after which the door was forced
open and the occupant was found "a.
Ginning in the bath-tub. naked. with his
throat gashed in several places. The
bath-tub had been about two-thirds filed
with water. which was discolored with
the blood which had flown from the
wounds. \ razor was found carefully
closed on the edge Of the bath.tub. His
clothes were hung up around the room.
but they contained no clew to his iden.
tity. In a spittoon. however. were the
remains OF several letters which he had
torn up. The several portions of the
envelopes were put together after son,e
considerable trouble and the address
read Thomas Donohoe. Morton House.
Post street" The post mark indicated
that the letter had been sent from Uo-
boken, New Jersey. At the Morton
House 1t vas ascertained that Mr.. Don
oboe had registered there on the 18th OF
May, 1874, from New York, and had
left there about two weeks ago. He had
arrived with the intention of entering
some dry goods house OF this city, but
was disappointed. He has ever since
endeayored to obtain work, but has
been unsuccessful. and it is to be pre-
sumed that his i'll fortune worked on his
mind and drove him to his rash act. An
inquest will be held to-day.

THOSE snOOTIsTs.

The press OF San Francisco very prop
erly unite in condemnation Of the De-
Young and Napthaly street shooting mat
inees, not on account Of the principals
in the matter getting hurt or killed, ~
they are too poor or reckless shots to
ever hit each other, but choosing the
most public places for their battle
grounds, they are liable TO wound or
kill somebody else. They have already
shot a little boy in the leg. and nearly
shot a woman through the head. and
may succeed more fatally next time. The
Stock Report says
right in trying to kill Napthaly, and we
believe ii unfortunate for this communi-
~ that the latter was not exterminated,
for II such should have happened then
the public could have had recourse to
the judicious move 81 discriminating the
DeYoungs. which would rid the commu-
nifty Of characters that can well be
spared.
The Post says
For this fellow Napthaly We have no
sympathy. He has put himself outside
the pale by hbels upon relations which
even the vlest hold sacred, and after the
first difficulty has returned persistently
to the attack. But this does not justify
the Deloungs, who neglect and refuse
their legal remedy in attempting to as-
sassinate him, and in sending pistol
bullets flying around crowded streets.
Judge Louderbaek has done right in
holding the parties in this case to the
highest o OF bail yet fixed in this
city for n similar ~ofiense. Let the law,
which has been sleeping, now make
itself felt in a way which will prevent
similar occurrences in future.
