MENr or WARDEN HYMN.
Tho Board Of State Prison Commis-
sioners reassemblsd yesterday at Carson.
and finally disposed Of tho charges
against Warden Hyman in the only
method justified by the facts developed
In the late inquest and c~onsonant with
fairness and equity. Mr.. Hyman was.
by a majority vote Of the Board. rein
stated into the Office OF Warden. and in
conformity with a request made BY him
In his last annual report. the Office Of
Deputy Warden was created, and a ger.
tleman well fitted for the position elected
TO servo the State in that capacity. So
ends q most expensive in%quisihon, insti-
gated by ambitious politicians and pros
cutsd from motives Of personal vindic-
t~iveness. The charges against the
Warden are shown to have had no foun-
daiion In fact. On the contrary. the
evidence presented was not sufficient
upon which to ground a tolerabls sus-
picion Of the warden's dishonesty. We
are not ~envious Of the position held by
the most prominent Prosecutors I've use
the word advisedly) Of Mr.. Lyman in
this uncalled for trial. The public will.
at the proper time. hold them to a strict
accountability for the expense attending
the ubiquitous proceeding. The pro-
csedings Of tho Board-the majority We
msan-yesterday were characterized BY
. str,ightforwardness which We are
glad to say is characteristic Of Messrs.
Kittreli and Minor. and which does them
credit. Following are tho conclusions
and order u the majority Of the Board:
We. the majority Of tho Board Of
State Prison Commissioner, having
heard all the testimony adduced ON the
charges preferred by Governor l.. L.
Bradley against r. q. Hyman. Warden
OF the Nevada State Prison. and having
fully considered the same. do find that
said charges are not only without foun-
dation in fact. but that said Hyman is
fully exoneraisd by the proofs taken and
offered in the investigation. II is there
fore
Ordered. That said p. G. Hyman be
and is hereby reinstatsd In his position
Of Warden Of said State Prison from and
after this 2sth day Of February. 1876.
]. r. KrrrEELL,
J. ID. MINOR.
Governor Bradley Of course dissented
from the conclusion Of tho majority. aud
did not join in the order reinstating the
Warden. "a man convinced against
His will Is Of the same opinion still"
But in the following action the Governor
joined with the rest Of tho Boarj. min
utes Of which we copy FROM tho Carson
Appeal Of this morning:

by created at the Nevada State Prison
TO be known as the Deputy Warden and
Commissary's Office. The duty Of the

ceived al said prison. To SEQ that all

Ordered, That from March I. 1876.
the Warden Of the Prison be and Is
hereby authorized to make out his re-
QUESTION for rations Of tobacco for the
prisoners In said Prison. Passed.
General Kittrell opposed the passage
OF the order creating the Office OF n
Deputy Warden as n useless expense.
After the passage OF the order he nom-
mated Mr.. Gregory OF wash'o county.
for that place. and cast his vote for him.
Thus let us hope. ends this I'M
necessary wrangle. For the credit Of
the State we hope the Governor will
publish no more open letters, charging
POPULATION. without ample proofs to sus-
tain his allegations: that the services OF
a pardonsd nurdersss. ex-convicts. con-
victs yet in limbo, ''ths smartest de-
tective in the State" ct al. ct al. will
not be required to perpe,uate the power
and regime Of a clique OF ambitious
marplots. LET US have peace"
