Van Zandt Vindicated.

At a meeting of the Board of
County Commissioners Of Storey
County, held Thursday, the follow
ing preamble and resolution in re-
spect of DR.. Van Zandt, the retiring
County Physician, were adopted.
DR.. Van Zandt's resignation has been
accepted and a successor will be APP
pointed by the Board:
WHEREAS, Public charges have
been made against the conduct of
our late County Physician, DR.. j. W.
Van Zandt; and whereas, we have
carefully and diligently inquired
into the charges made and insinu-
atcd, and have found no just ground
for nor proof of said charges against
his official or public duties as County
Physician; therefore,
RESOLVED, That we consider it
our duty, in view of the above facts,
to acknowledge in this manner that
after the most thorough investiga-
ton into the charges named, We find
DR.. Van Zandt has, in all his official
and public duties as County Physi
clan, faithfully and skillfully served
this county, and that no charge of
fraud or peculation against him in
that capacity can be sustained 10y re-
spectacle evidence, and in our opin-
ion these charges are fabrications
without foundation in fact, and fur
ther, that under DIR. Van Zant's man
agement our County Hospital has
generally attained a higher standard
than ever before in its history, and it
now compares favorably with any in
stitution of its kind in the country.

McGinnis showed us paper yester-
day-The Woodford Sentinel-from
Woodford, one of the richest agricul-
tural counties in Illinois. We clip
the following from the local page !:
"Old Timcs.-The banking house of
Wikoff & Bowen received per ex-
press, last Saturday night, 500 in
silver coin. When the fact was
known a grand rush was made for
the sinners, and it kept the firm
busy taking greenbacks and making
silver change. Silver will be the
change hereafter, and we do not
want to hear of the people boarding
it up. Let it circulate. This shows
the difference between silver and rag
money, and how much the former is
in favor. If that local could only
see few stacks of trades, he would
open his eyes in wonder. But never
mind; Nevada will make it plenty
after while.

STATE vs.. STATE-We are not GER
tain whether there is any particular
connection between real estate and

is just possible there may be. Wheth-

of halt his real estate on the Carson
river is question still more puzzling
to many, but he certainly has done
the latter, and as for the next step
well, quien sabe.

PERFEC TON Nothing is more
difficult to attain than even a COM
parative degree of perfection. In
professions and scholastic attain
ments proficiency may be acquired
by years of self-denial and hard
study, but in some branches of trade
fine taste, keen sense Of the beau
ties as presented to the eye or sug-
gested to the fancy, are needed. If
anyone will visit the magnificent

DON'T BELIEVE IT.-We heard
dirty, ragged fellow railing at the
world yesterday. It's the old cry
the same stale old grumble-and it
made us mad, for 1t Is idiotic non
sense to suppose that virtue and hon

while bloated wealth is dancing the

never meet an old fraud, whom lazi-

and hunger, that doesn't try to make
every body believe his poverty is the
reward of his virtue and honesty.
We won't have it that way.

Republican Meeting.

The Republicans, last night, held q
meeting at the City Hail. and with the
help of a number of Democrats managed
to comfortably fill the room. Sam, Barr
presided.
Howard NJ. jenkins spoke first, his
announced theme being '.Protection to
American Industry" He soon changed,
however, to- Protection of Self-Interest''
and in abiding to his candidacy for the
Legislature hoped that those who voted
for the rest of the Republican ticket
would also "vote for me-"
Col. VIM. Brown, of kentucky, next
spoke and said if Hayes was elected there
would be corruption in his administra-
ton, and likewise if Tilden was elected.
He therefore inferred hat corruption was
a necessity in our national administra-
ton, and the meeting inferred that Col.
Brown was expecting fat seat among
the corruptionists in case Hayes is sue
cessful, Col. Brown spoke here in 1868,
and Delaware repudiated his sentiments
by Democratic, majority of over $500.
She will give him similar answer on
Tuesday next.
