ANOTHER CORRUPTIONIS
GONE.

They go slowly, one by .one, but still
they go. The telegraph brings us the
welcome intelligence that Mnllett, who
has long occupied the position OF super
wishing archetect at Washington, has been
dismissed, or to put it in the approved
phrase of the period, his resignation has
been accepted. Friend Mullett has been
carrying things with high hand for
several years, and some wonder has
been excited in the minds of certain I'M
sophisticated youths. at Mulletts appar.
ent prosperity seeing that the salary at
tached to the Office is quite limited.
However. there is no telling what econ.
omy will do. and perhaps Mullett was an
expert in the science said to be known to
the mythical British recruit, that of
spending half crown out of shilling q
day. Anyway Secretary Bristow who
appears sincerely DESTROYS of getting the
affairs Of his department into something
like creditable order, found Mullett "a
stumbling block in the path of reform,
and quietly kicked him out of the way.
We have no doubt that the Secretary was
right. Mullett's intimate association
with Shepherd. the Washington rival of
Tweed, was of itself very suspicious. II
we recolleet rightly, Mullett's
testimony in the District H.
vestigation was also extremely
unsatisfactory. These things, coupled
with other matters that occasionally came
to the surface. leads us to believe that
the public will be greatly benefited by
the change. Much credit is due to the
irmness Of Secretary Bristow. who,
though tho whole power Of the Washing
ton Ring was brought to bear on him,
would not nudge an inch. The Arch.
tect was. however, strongly entrenched
behind the Washington Ring, and it was
dangerous to touch him without good
cause. That was not long coming.
Continued IMMUNITY had made him bold
and impudent. and when the Secretary
gave him the chance of breaking his own
neck, Mullett rushed in to the trap and
was slain. Bristow is evidently in earn.
est, is willy and frsa. snd is apparently
determined foe to anything that is not
perfectly straightforward. We consider
the dismissal of Mullett feather in the
secretary's cap, and is step we'll ealcu-
lated to create dismsy in the ranks of
the corrupt parasites that live and grow
rich by Government plumber.

A MAN named R. Bryan, q resident of
Mill Station, Washoe Valley, says the
Winnemucca Silver State of the 18th
instant. was put off the freight train
about two miles west OF Winnemucca
yesterday. He arrived at Mill City last
evening, having travelled from where he
was elected from the cars to that point
on foot. He has an emigrant ticket
which he says he purchased at Omaha,
and en- which he was permitted to ride
from Omaha TO Winnemncca. The
ticket stated on its face that it was good
for limited time only, and that time
having expired the conductor refused to
recognize it. Bryan says he came with
car load of mules and two car loads OF
hogs from Omaha and was unavoidably
detained on the route. He left Mill Oity
for the Humboldt House this morning,
and expressed his determination to
travel afoot to Reno rather than again be
subjected to the humiliation Of being
forced from the cars between stations.
