BABcocK is permitted to resign his numerous
civil ofices before a searching examination ia
made OF his accounts as Engineer In Charge OF
Public Grounds and Buildings, and as superin-
tendent OF the new War and Navy Department
building. But he should be suspended at once,
and not another dollar OF the public money

We trust that District Attorney WELLS

We trust that District Attorney WELLS
may be Afforded an opportunity TO explain before
the Congressional committee, which is investi-
eating tho safe-burglary conspiracy, his reasons
for neeectna to prosecute the leaders In that
Infamous plot. when he had ample evidence Of
their guilt. II has been surmised that bis pur-
pose TO prevent any action by the Grand
Jury until the consprators were placed beyond
the reach OF punishment by the statute OF llmi-
tations, aud II must be confessed that his aiti-
tudo has that appearance. There can DO no
doubt that Mr. WILLS has for a long time had
SUFFICIENT proofs In his possession to convict tho
guilty parties. On March 49, ALBERT CUM, one
OF the witnesses who has since testified before
the committee wrote a letter from this city to
Mr. WELLS which has some slgnin cant illusions
It was called out by h despatch which appeared

THE ODD FELLOWS CELEBRA.
TION.
4 Brilliant Display and Splendid
Literary Entertainment.

Yesterday was the tifty-sevenih
anniversary of Odd Fellowship in
America, aud the occasion was
celebrated in Virginia City by o
procession. literary exercises and a
ball at National Guard Hall in the
evening. AT II o'clock the line was
formed on c street in front of Odd
Fellows Hall, and the procession
moved through the principal streets
of the city. All the lodges took
part. and the usual brilliant display
of regslia was made. The day was
delightful, aud the exercises were
brought to close without the less,
incident to mar the pleasures of the
occasion. The literary exercises
were of an Interesting character.
General Battcrman's Grafton was
delivered in a mastery manner.
and the poem by Mr.. Goodwin. OF
The Enterprise. even excelled his
very excellent production on
similar occasion y~a~ ago. II is
too long to be prcdnced in these
columns. containing thirty-six
s,anzas of four and six lines each.
Mr.. Goodwin seems to have fac
ulty Tor writing poetry when he is
called upon TO do so without dis
playing any stiffness or contraction
of powers SO common with other
men when the task is set for them.
Some distinguished writers have de-
clared that they never could do any
thing worthy of themselves when the
stint was before them. Hence 1t is
that anniversary poetry is generally
unattractive if not mediocre. But
the poem read before the Odd Fell
lows yesterday is worth being read
and read again.
Soon after noon the procession dis
persed, TO reasonable In the evening
at the ball. This was an especially
brilliant affair. The best of music
was provided. and dancing was con-
tinued to late hour. Many were
present from Carson, Reno and other
smaller towns, and the brethren did
all they could to make those from
abroad enjoy themselves.

The constituents of Senator Jones
will read with pleasure the Efforts of
their representative in the national
legislature to cnlighten the pub
lie on the little understood
Question Of a metallic currency.
Mr.. Jones handles the subject with a
depth and thoroughness that betoken
deep study and a broad, comprehen-
sive and logical mind. 1t is cspe-
oially gratifying to know that We
have at least one good worker to
represent us at Washington. For in
truth it seems that when some men
are elected to 60 to Congress their
ambition is satisfied, and when they
get there they sit with their hands in
their pockets ana let their constitu-
ents and their State rip. Mr.. Wood
burn, although his vote on the am
nesty bill was somewhat inconsist-
ent with his previous tcnets, has
been in the harness ever since he en-
tered the House. He did Us all a
good turn when he came out so firm
ly and reasonably In favor of the
Texas Pacific.

SAN JOSH is enlivened with a gen.
nine, frst-class sensation. 1t is
peculiarly thrilling, as it savors of
the supernatural. A respected
resident OF that usually somnolent
town has been annoyed seriously of
late by the throwing of a perfect
storm of stones at his house, break
ing the windows. and ieopardizing
the safety Of the ocerl'ants. The
cause Of this phenonenon which
first presents itself - the avneri-
eucsd imagination, isr"Hoodlum:
but the deuce of 1t ID the hoodlum
is invisible. The afflicted gentle
man has been compelled to vacate
the premises and move elsewhere.
but without escaping the annoy
snce. Many persons of veracity
and coed visual organs have wit,
messed the mysterious movement of
the projectiles, and all proclaim it
to be sure case of-of-they know
not.what. The worst feature of the
affair is that the notorious spirit
naliss, w. F. Peck, has been
called in to explain matters. Thus
q real paiatable sensation has been
changed into an indubitable hum
bug. The name of the afflicted gem
t.eman is Patrick W. Reardon.

W9<nlHK anu H01ikB& III small lAuifiNs aNH
arcse So-and-so, through the poet once.
Advertisements Of this kind are
of daily occurrence in the papers the
other side of the Divide. The wom-
en- who thus advertise publicly for
places to work are as rule honest
and industrious. They ask merely
for an opportunity to give an equiva-
lent of labor for the pay they re-
ceive. The demand for such labor
is considerable, but il seems not to
be equal to the supply. The China
man, the ogre of the whole coast, is
the most formidable obstacle in the
way of balancing the number of OPP
portunities with the number of peo-
pie seeking them. He is more tract
able, they say, in the kitchen, and al
together less presumptuous. He
may be. He was born in servihty.
His whole life is calculated to fit him
for servant of the most mental
kind. Therefore he is often prefer
red to women of American educa-
ton and breeding. This has been
SO since John WAS, by the provisions
of that curse the Burlingame Treaty,
introduced upon the Coast. 1t will
continue so to the end, whenever that
shall come. Personal interest over
comes public spirit with the most Of
people, and they will continue to en-
ploy the heather though scores Of
their own kind ask for leave 10 toll.
1t is not with discussion of this
question that we have at present to
do. 1t is broad subject and in
wolves some of the most intricate
problems of human existence. 1t
occurs naturally TO the mind of the
reader ON looking over notices of the
kind quoted above, that the appli-
cants for situations in competition
with Cinnamon might, by little ex-
ercise of their superior intelligence,
upon which they must in large part
rely, successfully outstrip their op-
ponents. The mass of the people
are In sympathy on the side of the
whites. BY appealing to them in
stead of to those only in positions of
wealth to give employment in house
hold duties, these women who ask
through the public press for places
might get on much better. There is
one channel at least through which
they can do this, and in the end per-
haps receive more remuneration. We
allude to the establishing of coop
erative laundries. Many man
would rather take his washing to
such an institution and pay little
more for il, even. than to beStow his
patronage upon Sam Sing 4 Co.
Let a number of these women unite
and open laundry in Virginia City,
duly advertise it and conducts il upon
the same certain principles that laun-
dries in general are conducted, aud
they will make moro ,noney and itn
less trouble than in performing the
usual routine of household drudgery
for hire. But right here comes the
question Of executive ability, before
which we are leath TO proceed.
We recall 10 mind the fact of SO
many failures in cooperative socie-
ties and have some misgiyings as to
the durability of such associa-
tons generally, especially when
tie integral parts are weak women.
Still there is no field that we can
think of so inviting as the whole line
of the Comstock seems to be.
