THIRD TERN ADVOCATE. - The
telegraph informs us that Alexander
H. Stevens made speech of two
hours duration, at Augusta, Geor-
gia, on the 18th. He said the pas
sage of the Civil Rights Bill would
work great ruin and destroy the
public school system of the South.
He would do President Grant the
justice to say that he had done his
duty, and he had no objection to a
third term. Personally, he saw no
reason why President who had ex-
ercised the law conscientiously
should not be elected for a third
term if the people desire it. He
looked into the Louisiana question,
and saw no sense in abusing Presi-
dent Grant. He spoke hopefully OF
the future of the Republic, and said
that he should obey the law for the
suppression of lawlessness, and be
true to the Constitution and Union as
established by our fathers. He pro-
claimed himself Jefferson Demo-
crat, and had great faith in the ulti.
mate triumph Of the principles OF
that party.

DIR, HAZLETT.-It seems to us an
outrage for the stipendiary journals
of Storey county to speak of DR.. Haz-
lett in the insulting manner they
have lately adopted. No man ever
made better record in the Senate of
Nevada than the Hon. ]. C. Hazlett.
AS Chairman of the Committee on
Ways and Means, he proved himself
q most effective officer. His whole
time during the sitting of the Legis-
lature was devoted to business, and
not only the records of the Senate,
but all the Senators with whom he
was associated, will bear us out in
what we have asserted. DIR. Hazlett
is finely educated man, a thorough
mathematician, and possessed of a
great deal of financial ability. We
are we'll aware that education has
not hitherto been deemed indispen-
sable in the selection of governor
for this State, but We have yet to
learn that it should be considered
cause tor ineligibility. We state,
without fear of successful contradic-
ton, that the present financial con-
dition Of the State is mainly owing
to the financial ability Of w, w. Ho-
bart and DR.. j. c. Hazlett. Itwould
look far better if the Democratic pa
pers pursued the same course rela-
tive to DR.. Hazlett that the Republi-
can journals have with Governor
Bradley. They have, however, seen
fit to open the war, and on their
heads be the consequences; for be-
tween this time and election day
much can be said that will open the
eyes of many, and the consequences
may be very damaging to the Demo-
cratic candidate.-Cdrson Tribune.

UP AND DoING.-While at Day
ton, Sunday, We were more than
ever impressed that the Republicans
in that part of the county are alive
to the necessities of the day, and are
standing in" in real earnest. They
claim that they will carry that pre-
cinct by about three to one, yet do
not stop working for minute. The
vote of Dayton will not differ much
in numbers from two years ago.
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1874-10-20

The removal of the army head
quarters from Washington to st.
Louis creates good deal of dissat-
isfaction at the former place. Cen
eral Butler has already given notice
that he will introduce bill at the
next session of Congress permanent
ly fixing the headquarters at Wash
ington. When Congress next meets
strong pressure will be brought to
bear upon the members to secure
the passage of the bill.

The Fair.

The eleventh annual fair for the benefit
of St. May's Orphan Asylum, will open at
Masonic Hall tomorrow night. Ii is gen
erallv known that upon these annual re-
unions rests the chief reliance for a COM
Portable support of an average OF over
eighty orphan children, who are TO be fed
and clothed and nUrsed and educated from
the proceeds of the fair, and the picnic, and
the voluntary donations of 2 generous COM
munity. 1t is not surprising then, that the
annual fair is looked forward to as a happy
reunion of kindred spiTits-a yearly assem-
bling together of noble SOuls-ZealOus
workers and cheerful contributors to the
cause of charity; one of the greatest of
Christian virtues. During the present
week, at Masonic Hall, may be seen num-
bers of ladies engaged in this to them
,'Iabor of love-" and among their patrons
will be found representatives from all
classes of society and from almost every
creed and cOuntTy-the artist and artisan,
men OF all trades, c3llings and professions,
and gentlemen of leisure, and ladies from
classic halls and humble cots-all assem-
bled TO honor human nature, to respond to
the call Of charity.
In connection with the Fair, we have
