GOVERNMENT AID.-The Record Union
of Monday, says the Enterprise, in an ed
itorial full of kindly appreciation of our
situation, and of us as a people, urges
that Government should make an early
appropriation for a Post Office in Virginia
City. We thank the Record for the sug-
gestion. Agood Post Office has long been
needed here, and a building large enough
to furnish room for the United States
Marshal. Clerk, Attorney and Post Office
would not cost the United States a great
deal, and would be an assistance and con-
venience to US. As the Record Union
says. Virginia City is entitled to especial
consideration from the country, because
the mines here are Of national concern.
We do not think our people are any diff
ferent from the other communities on
this coast, but the Government in esti-
mating us should not calculate our num-
bers, but what the product of our mines
is. We are certain that so far as the
business done through orr Post Office is
concerned. it will rank favorably with the
cities of fifty thousand inhabitants in the
Eastern States.

VIRGINIA CITY.
From the Gold Hill News, Nov. 81

From the Gold Hill News, Nov. 81
Yesterday we strolled for a couple OF
hours through the desolate streets Of
what was once, and what will Don be
again, Virginia City. 1t was q beautiful
day. the threatened storm of the previous
day having happily spent itself upon the
Sierra. 1t was very different from the
Sundays of old, and il seemed, while we
watched. as though the wheels of the
world had rolled back for fifteen years.
and the work Of that first Winter of 1859
was being commenced again. There was
nota church bell ringing in the city; but
one church tower was visible. and that
was blackened, empty and desolate, like
the wreck around it. In the part where
the business center formerly was, there
was a Babel of sounds; of cartmen haul
ing away debris. Of masons crying for
mortar, of carpenters' saws and hammers,
of the echoes which attend the laying Of
the foundations of q city. Further on,
out where the lesser business houses and
residences were, there was almost total
silence, and the ruins seemed as might
those Of a city that had been deserted
long ago and had been crumbling to ruins
for ages. There will, if the weather holds
good for a few weeks, be a new Virginia
built; but it will not be like the old one
1t will, as a rule, be only a congregation
Of shanties, to be removed again in the
Spring. It will take all next Summer to
wipe out the visible scars, and longer still
to erase the other scars which men
and women now hide behind smiling
brows- Disguise it as we may, the bust
ness part of a h%ourishing city cannot, in
m hour, be stricken out of existence
without a great deal of suffering, private
and public. The hardest thought OF all
is. the calamity might have been avoided
if only a reasonable prudence had been
exercised by the people and corporation,
A single hydrant would have stopped the
fire at the start. and y big reservoir full
of water with ample connections with els
terms below would-after the city was or
fire-have confined the ~conflagration to 8
couple of blocks. The lesson has beer
a costly one. but we trust it has not beer
vain, and.that as the new city is bull
there will be established with it such 9
system of waterworks as shall carry 9
constant assurance Of safety to property
hereafter.

Coal MINE.-The Elko Post of Nov.
9Th says: 1t is now reliably stated that
coal of a superior quality has been dis
covered about four miles northeast of the
Leopard mill, Cornucopia, by an ex-
perienced coal miner. who has for many
months been prospecting in that vicinity.
It it is said that this coal burns freely
and well down to an ash; that the guam
tity is supposed TO be considerable; that
the deposit will be thoroughly and speed
lily prospected and it's value ascertained.
Should it turn out that the deposit is a
large one and the coal of good quality,
the value of this discovery to C~ornucopia
and other points north. where fuel is
scarce and dear, can not be overesti-
mated.

4 MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.
From the Silver State Of the sth.l

From the Silver State Of the Sth.l
Thomas Mills, Roadmaster Of the HumDoidt
Division Of the Central Pacific Baliroad' m
forms us that the section-house at Twelve-miie
CANYON. near Palisade, was robbed last week.
and a gold chain and money to the amount OF
s125 stolen therefrom. The foremen OF two
sections boarded at the house, and had o chi
nese cook in their employ. They left the mousse
as usual on the morning Of the day the chain
and money were stoken, leaving the cook and y
chinaman who worked on one Of the sections.
but who was sick, or pretended to be on mat
day. at the house. When they returned at night
the cook was gone, and the chain and money
missing. The sick Chinaman pretended to be
ignorant of the cooks whereabouts, and said
that no stranger had been at the house during
the day. AS the cook did not return, the fore
men concluded he had stolen the money and
chain, and left for parts unknown. Last FIJI
day, however, the remains OF the COOK were
found about a quarter Of q mile from the Sec
tion-house by two Indians. The head had been
cut of with an ak, and the appearance OF the
remains indicated that the cook had been muir
dered. No trace of the missing valuables could
be found, and the supposition is that the SICK
Chinaman stole the chain and money and killed
the cook. An inquest was to have been held last
Saturday, and it is probable that The investiga
ton may have resulted in q clue to the robbel
and the murderer. a

A FoRrHCoMrNG MEssAGE.

A dispatch dated at Chicago, Nov. eth, says
A Washington special says it is now certain that
three topics, at least, will be largely dwelt upon
by the President in his coming message TO Con
gress. These three topics will embrace the pup
lie school question, the finance and the condl-
ton of affairs in Cuba. Senator Morton, VINO
has been in the city for the past week or 90. Is
responsible in the last degree for the PRESIDENT
assuming a position upon the school question
in the coming message. He has been persuad-
ing the President that he must assume the posi-
ton Of Gladstone in England and Bismarck in
Germany. and come out against the growing de-
mands Of Catholicism. There is but one thing
to be said about the Presidents Cuban policy,
and that can be said by the highest authority.
He will not talk Of war, or the possibility OF
war. in his message, but will urge strongly the
justice of recognizing the rights Of the. belliger-
ent Cubans. He has made up his mind that he
will carry his point in this regard, with the aid
of Congress il he can, and if not. without its
aid. In the absence Of Congress the Constitu-
ton gives i'm power to act, but he proposes,
however. to give Congress one more opportu-
nifty to take the responsibility upon its shout
ders. Upon the financial subject the President
will endeaver to show by the late elections that
the Republican party is the only party.tAakbe-
lieves in a sound currency. and therefore the
only one with which it is safe to trust the affairs
of the country. On these three points advanced,
the anti-Catholic. the advocacy Of the rights
Of belligerents to the oppressed in Cuba. and
the championship of q sound currency, the
President hopes to reach q position OF popular
iy that will cause the people to forget the many
sins which have been charged mp against him
during the years of his reign.
Standing upon the platform given above. he
is certainly the strongest man in his party,
The talk of q third term was never strong r than
it is now among men whose positions make
their opinion worthy Of attention. TIL annual
message which is now in preparation. under ad,
vice and assistance from Senator Morton, is be-
ing shaped upon the idea that Grant is the only
man who can save the party and consequently
the country.

PoLrTrcAL CoNsEQUENcEs.-The New
York Herald of the 9Th instant, in an ed
itorial under the head of " Political Con-
sequences of Late Elections" gives a
list of Democratic and Republican States.
with the number of electoral votes to
which each is entitled, to show the pres
ent political situation as regards the Pres
idential election. The Democratic States
are-Alabama, Arkansas, California. Con-
necticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, In
diana, Kentucky, Louisiana. Maryland.
Mississippi, New York. New Hampshire.
Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West
Virginia. with a total vote Of 1873. The
remainder are Republican States, 10 in
all. having a total electoral vote of 181.
This shows that the next Presidential
election will be close and doubtful, and
one of the most exciting contests that has
ever occurred in the history of u poll
tics. Judging from the latest elections in
!. all the States, the Democratic party
would elect the next President by a ma
jority of Z. but that will be easily wiped
out if the Republicans carry Ohio next
October-the moral effect of the triumph
three weeks in advance OF a great con
test being worth at least fifty electoral
votes to the party which shall carry the
State. The Republicans have merely to
keep what they secured last month to give
them the ascendancy in Ohio in October.
1876, and carry off the Presidential prize,
but if they lose that, the election of a
Democratic President would be ineyi-
table.

Judgment of the case. There are many circum-
stances in connection with this matter which
make many believe Babcock is a stricken deer
who will never be himself again. In the first
place, Babcock entered the service Of Grant a
poor man. He is now worth upwards Of $500
600. and is one of the most active partners in
Boss Sheppard's real estate transactions. His
salary is only $4,000 a year, and his saving such
