nrTTER NAIL FACILITIES BE
QUIRED.

Under this heading the Carson
Herald Of the Goth advances some
good suggestions, which' we trust
will be listened to by the "pewers
that be-" That journal says "there
/, urgent necessity for a morning
mail service between this city and
Virginia City, and the wonder is that
the people of the two places have not
long ago demanded it. The only
mail received here from the city on
the hill leaves that place at 9 o'clock
in the evening, and arrives here at
half past .. There is no possibility,
therefore, Of receiving a letter on the
dsy on which it is written. Wells,
Fargo 4 Co.'S Express leaves at the
same time with the mail, and letters
BY it are not delivered before the
next morning. A mail ought to 60
from this city to Virginia by the 8
O'Clock train, and another mail ought
to leave that city for Carson by the
first morning train. It would be of
incalculable advantage to business
men, and its cost to the Government
would be trifing, as the Virginia and
Truckee Railroad officials would
only be too happy to accommodate our
people by carrying as many mails as
our people may desire. As the mat
ter now stands the conductors of
nearly every train are burdened with
packages which they have to deliver,
and, to their credit be it said, they
do this without fee or other reward
than receiving the thanks of a people
grateful for favors they SO constantly
bestow."
The fact that all the mail matter
from Virginia City, Gold Hill, Silver
City, and even Empire City, must 60
to Reno, passing through Carson at
$50 p. n, and then returned at s
A. n. the following day, should Be
proof positive that the present system
il . bad one. There should be q
double daily mail route between Vir-
ginia and Carson, and we hope to see
it soon in active operation.

DULL.-virginia City was particu-
larly quiet yesterday while our re-
porter was in town. There was not
Samaritan even to ask the reporter
to take smile or ride, hence he had
to walk home. It Is to be hoped
that stocks will rise before his next
visit, else he will have to run his
face-which is very long now-for
new pair OF China manufactured
slippers.

InronTANr DECGsION.-We find
the following in " Harpers' Weekly"
IF tile telegraph made any mention
Of it We missed it in some way
sAn interesting question in postal
law has lately arisen and been settled
by the authorities. A cable dispatch
received by Postmaster General Jew
ell from the postal authorities of
switzerland requested the return, un-
opened, Of two registered letters of
certain dates, forwarded from Swift
zerland, addressed to Duncan, Sher-
man 3 Co., New York. This request
was submitted by Postmaster General
Jewell to Judge Spence, Solicitor Of
the Department, and to the Attorney
General. Under advice Of these two
officials, the Postmaster General sent
. reply BY cable to the Swiss authori-
ties declining to return the letters. A
letter has also been forwarded to the
same authorities. explaining that the
postal laws Of the United States have
been uniformly construed to termi-
nate the property in or control over a
letter by the writer when the letter
leaves the Office at which it is mailed,
and that at the Office of delivery the
letter becomes the property, and sub
fcct to the exclusive control, of the
party to whom it is addressed"

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES
CARSON, August %.

Prof. Frank Stewart yesterday
visited the Houston mine, situated
a little west of this city, and says
the appearance of the country and
the rock denote the permanency OF
the mine. The ledge is well de-
fined, having two permanent clay
seams, one on each side. The rock
assays way up, and plenty OF it
in sight. The chances are that
Carson will at no distant day be
represented by big bonanza.
DR.. Linderman, Director of
MINIS, is in town, accompanied by
his wife and son. We understand
he will visit Thorpe Valley and
other pleasant places of resort near
this city.
SAN FRANCISCO, August rs.
General Sheridan visited the
Stock Board to-day.
The depression of the market
during the day has been such as to
almost amount to panic, and it is
supposed that many have gone
under.
A certificate of increase of stock
of the Caledonia Mining Company
from $4,000. 900. in 10000 shares,
to $40, 900, 900 divided into 100, 900
shares, was fled with the County
Clerk yesterday.
1t is reported that charges off seri-
Gus nature have been preferred against
George NJ. Pinney, prominent resi-
dent of Alameda County, and Pay
Purchasing Clerk and Office Inspect
or of the United States Navy. The
charges are fraud in purchasing ma
terial and stores for the navy; wilfull
neglect of duty in issuing certificates
without authority, and wilfully pro-
curing and signing petitions for bids
for material for the use of the navy.
1t is understood that the charges are
direct and specific. They were for
warded to the Admiral in command
at Mare Island last week.
Yesterday the ship New York,
companion vessel of the Bremen,
arrived, one hundred and forty
days from Liverpool. The quaran-
tine officer, on boarding her this
morning, found twenty-four of the
crew of forty down with scurvy Of a
most malignant type. The crew are
colored, but the disease had also at
tackled the white officers. The ship
was we'll supplied with fresh food
and medicines, and the mortality on
board these two ships, which belongs
to the same firm, is unaccountable.
The scene on board was sickening in
the extreme, while every known
means had been used to disinfect
the ship and admit fresh arr to keep
the diseased sailors in sleanly con-
dition. The stencil arising from
the victims was most repulsive. Tie
reputation, of Bates, owner of Bremen
and New York, is said to be SO bad
in Liverpool that white sailors will
not ship on his vessel; hence black
crews are employed. Another court
of inquiry will be called.
PORT HOPE, Mich, Aug "a.
A bottle which had washed ashore
was found this morning, containing
the following:
Over Lake Michigan al 8 p. NJ. OF
the evening of starting, about three
hundred feet high-A gale IS coming
from the northeast. Balloon getting
out of order. Gas escaping fast.
Cannot remain up much longer:
Will surely land in the lake. Fear
full storm.
(Signed): DONALDSON.
The writing is we'll preserved.

The Winnemucca Silcer State, OF
the oath, has the following items
COAL, CATTLE AND BIRTHSTONE
H. X. Mitchell, who ought to be
Senator now and will be next time;
J. w. Adams, Lieutenant Governor,
and Theodore Hale, Prince OF Infer
no, met at the depot yesterday. One
would suppose that this trio would
discuss the political situation In CAL
ifornia, and have q word to say
about the third term, but their con-
versations were on very different
subjects. Mitchell spoke OF the
coal fields near Battle Mountain,
which will eventually supply Neva
da with fuel; Adams talked OF
beeves and the herds of Eastern Ne
vada, and Hale waxed eloquent on
the sulphur beds of Rabbit Hole
and pictured Inferno in such warm
colors that sanctimonious looking
passenger, who overheard him, re-
marked to a fellow traveller that that
young man, pointing to Hale, gave
the most vivid description Of Luci-
fer's regions it had ever been his
good fortune to hear He took The
odore for an Orthodox preacher and
made one of the greatest mistakes OF
his life.
In SEARCH OF HIS MOTHER.--Joe
Rapier, a lad fourteen years OF age,
arrived here from the sink of the
Carson last Sunday. He is son Of
Thomas and Susie Rapier, well
known to- old settlers in this county.
Tom Rapier was shot in the arm
and crippled for lite by the INDIANS
in Paradise Valley in 1865, at which
time they shot and killed his
brother-in law, Joe Garfield. Sub
sequently the family removed to
Carlin, from which place Tom Ra-
pier emigrated to Montana, and
when last heard from was in Ari-
IONA. susie followed Captain Paine
TO Colorado, and was living in New
Mexico last Winter. The boy ap-
pears to be '.son of his NANNY
and he says he is going to find her
or bust. He says he has letters
from .jiffarant narSnnS intnrfllinu
him his father was dead. Susie
brought her children up in the way
they should go and this one seems
to be going it.
SHOOTING NEAR CARLIN.-Last
Saturday shooting scrape took
place near Carlin, the particulars OF
which have been furnished us as
follows: George Huntsman, who
resides on ranch near the Hot
Springs, was fired at by man gen.
orally known as Hot Springs
and his son, who, it is said, laid in
wait in the brush for Huntsman.
They fired eleven shots, none of
which took effect, and after they had
exhausted their battery, Huntsman
procured a shotgun, and emptied
its contents into the arms and legs
of "Hot Springs" Our informant
had not learned whether the parties
or either of them were arrested.
They have been having each other
about the possession of a tract of hay
land claimed by both, and have not
been on good terms tor some time
past.

ANIMAL SAGACITY. - The Gold
Hill Neos of Tuesday evening has
the following; A gentleman named
Hill, living in Lower Gold Hill, has
little black -and-tan dog that acct
dentally fell into hole about twenty
feet deep, near his house, few days
ago. He shortly began barking, and
his master, being attracted to the
spot, thought he would by an expe-
riment see how much the dog knew.
He procured rope, tied knot on
the end, and lowered it to the dog,
who shortly seized it with his teeth
and hung on until drawn out OF the
hole.
