The Market Ordinance.

The town and country people both
are discussing the market ordinance
pro and con. The difficulty is that
the document is not entirely clear to
the average mind, and in many in
stances its provisions are either not
at all understood OF wrongly con-
strued. The ordinance, even if
adopted by Council, needs several
important amendments.

INITIATION IN VEST VIR-
GTNT1 M

The Washington correspondence
of the Baltimore Sun has the follow
ing in relation to the West Virginia
Democracy:
"The West Virginia democratic
convention will meet early next
month. 1t has been generally con-
sidered that the West Virginia de-
mocracy were orthodox on the ques-
tion of the currency, bat it seems
that the imitation heresies of their
Ohio neighbors have attained quite
a strong foothold among them. 1t
is learned that there is a disposition
to indorse the venerable VIM. Allen
and to pass imitation resolutions.
Strenuous efforts will however, be
made to prevent sucha terrible mis-
take.n
There isno doubt large and in
creasing imitation element in the
Democratic party of this State, and
we believe an effort will be made in
the approaching convention at
Charleston to have it declare for Al
len, or at least adopt the Ohio plat
form. And it would not much sur
prise us to learn that the effort had
proved successful. The people of the
counties bordering on Ohio are tho
roughly inbued with the wild and
untenable financial theories of the
Ohio Democrats.

sition, and leaving behind, it may be
forever, the scenes and memories of
a two years not uneventful admins
tration within its tesselated walls.
The scene. is striking and the artist
has rendered it in the most imposing
and telling manner. Every part and
outline of the building is brought out
in hold relief, and all the beauty and
design of architectural and mechani-
cal skill displayed upon the Hall is
fully retained in the photograph. Mr..

WATER WORKS.

An effort is now being made, through
the organization of company, to
secure to the town of Winpemucca IN
abundant supply of pure water from
the mountains east of town. Arrange
msnts have been made with Mr. Cross,
on whose ranch there are several
springs, to supply the water, and to-
day articles Of incorporation are being
drawn up and signed. The capital
stock of the company is SIS, 0O0,
divided into shares of 81 each. Five of
our citizens have subscribed for 1000
shares each of the capital stock; and it
is believed that the greater portion of
it will be taken today. 1t is proposed
to bring the water to a reservoir TO be
constructed east of the railroad, from
which it can be distributed to all parts
OF town. 1t is expected to secure
pressure that will throw water to the
roof of the Court house, 30 that in case
of fire stream can be turned on
burning building ia the business part
of town. Aside from the benefits in
sanitary point of view, to be derived
from these works, they are necessary
as precautionary measure against FIRE,
and will answer the purpose Of fire
engine. All who can afford to shoald
take mora or less stock in this enter
prise, that the work may be completed
at the earliest possible day. Persons
who have given the enterprise con-
siderable attention believe that it will
pay handsome dividends.

A STRIKING CON TRAST.

A respectable number of the Demo-
cratic members of the House of Rep
resentatives served with distinction in
the Union and Rebel armies in the late
war. They fought like men during the
struggle, but at it's close they shook
hands over the bloody chasm. Each
found the other foeman worthy of
his steel, and to.day there are in the
halls of Congress, men intent on in
vsstigating frauds and exposing thieves,
who crossed swords with each other
during the rebellion. These ex-Union
and Confederate soldiers. buried the
bloody shirt at the close of the war.
They accepted each Others pledges in
good faith. On the one side promises
were given that the rebellion would not
be renewed, that the Union of the
States should remain intact, and op
the other that the Government should
be national, not sectional, and that the
citizens of the South should be accordt
ed. upon the same terms, all the rights
and privileges enjoyed by those of the
North. The ex-Union soldiers in Con-
gress and out of it with few exceptions,
cherish no hate or animosity toward
the men they contended with on many
a we'll fought field. They do not ask
that they be dlsfranchised, nor fear tina
they will renew the conflict. and only
these patriots who sought Office while
those men were fighting. strive to re-
vive the animosities engendered by the
war, or express regret that everybody
south of Mason and Dixon's line were
not stretched by the neck.
