the different points of danger at
Carson street crossings, to remove
dead bodies, and assist those who
have been injured, to neighboring
drug stores; nor that festive butcher
boys in their cutters, have received
'carte blanche" to take possession
of all public streets, to endanger
the lives and limbs Of pedestrians
to give the medical men experience
in surgery; neither that law had
been passed by the "town council
prohibiting children under seven
years from driving through town
until after night fall. 1t is not
true that DR.. Butts has caused .
certain green substance to be sprin-
kled upon the street crossings, to
enable inebrlates to find an excuse
for their soiled appearance when
they have visited bar-rooms too
often, and find it difficult to main
tain their equilibrium. 1t is not
true that Rev. Aliens church is to
be turned into theatre, opposition
to Johnny Moore's. 1t is not true
that all hotels and boarding houses
are having elevators placed at the
disposal of their guests, because the
pull. backs or back actions of the
young ladies are drawn so tight as
to prevent their climbing the stairs.
1t is not true that the shop keepers
at this time of the year an exceed
ingly dishonest and that one price
is invariably the rule in all cases. 1t
is not true that the appeal" never
prints q sensational article, but of
one quite common place or that
the Tribune" vouches for the
skill aud ability of all of our State
officials. Finally, it is not true
that tho hardware merchants and
other competitors for the iron
railing fence contract, are incensed
that the successful bidders were
women who petted $500 by their
| contract.
Fridays kilograms announced the
death of Judge Will Campbell, Dis
trict Attorney of Storey county, at
Santa Barbara. The light of life had
for some months been Pickering in
the socket, and Its eclipse by the
shadow of death was expected by his
friends, and but added another pang
of regret and sorrow when the bright
eyes were closed, the genial wit and
generous heart at last wrapped in the
unwakened sleep Of eternity. He
was a pioneer in the golden fields OF
California and among the first toilers
that broke the path for the develop
ment of this State, and from little
rivulets he saw the gold and silver
mingle in one mighty stream, carry
ing on its bosom all the greatness
and prosperity which follows wealth.
Arriving in California while yet
young and undeveloped, he was
moulded in the die of honest, brave,
unselfish manhood so characteristic
of our pioneers and those who
touched palms with him IN the old
days-who fought shoulder to shout
der in the first fierce Struggle of our
coasts existence-will feel more than
sad when they know another grave
stone marks the highway of progress
which they opened. To his afflicted
wife and daughter We tender that
sympathy which can only spring
from heart that has suffered like
woe, and though the brightness of
their lives may have flown the hap
piness of the past, should temper the
: grief of the present in the sweet
: promise of the future that loved ones
: shall meet again.
Congress is in session again, and
its proceedings will occupy, for the
next six or eight months, more or less
