The last edition of the Belmont Cour-
Ter has the following: John w. Merritt,
who hes been east the past six months
negotiating for the sale of the Night
Watch mine, in Rattlesnake District, re-
turned on the Gath ult., having accomp.
lished his purpose. The money, $4,000,
was paid over the same day TO John W.
Cooper, Albert A. Wagner and Edward
Winnen, Mr.. Merritt retaining his inter-
est in the mine. The mine is believed
by good judges to be one OF the best in
Nye county, and 1t is said to be the in.
tention OF the purchasers to incorporate
at once and develop the mine with vigor.

that it was not necessary to amputate his

The Belmont Courier learns Of the
death Of John s. Upton, at Typo, on
Monday December %. Deceased was q
native of Kentucky, about IS years OF
age. He was Veteran OF the Mexican
War; emigrated to California in 1849,
and served two terms IN the Legislature
of that State from FL Dorado county.
He settled in Nye County. We believe, in
1879, and served one term as County
Commissioner; was also Postmaster in
Belmont for time, and was superseded

WHAT NEXT.

Senator Sargent has received and pre-
sented to the Senate petition signed by
26.6l6 women Of Utah, asking for the
repeal Of the anti-polygamy law Of 1862,
also the Poland bill and asking that Utah
be admitted as State. Sargent, in pre-
senting the petition said though no: ap-
proving Of the petition. but having re.
ceived it and believing in the right Of
petitions he had no other course left but
to present it. II this were o petition
got up by the women Of Utah Of their
own free will and inclination, IL would
not speak much for their state Of morals
or whatever else you choose TO call II,
and could not be looked upon in any
other than a serious light. The plain
truth OF the matter is that the women Of
Utah had bat little to do with getting up
that petition; but tho old gray haired
scoundrels OF the other sex had all to do
with il. The elders had but to tell them
to sign II and there was no lodging the
issut-shey were compelled to sign, all
those who could, but it is highly pro-
babls the greater portion made their
mark" But few women OF education
are found among them. This polygamy
question national disgrace should

laws will not reach them, Congress
should without delay pass laws that will

have done very large business the past

the growth Of the enterprise, says:
The great success that has attended
this branch of industry during the
past year is cause for congratulation and
rejoicing throughout the city, for all
such results are great help TO Omaha.
The smelling works can show better
record for 1875 than any other business

The value Of gold, silver and lead pro-
duced in 1875 is 50. 600. 521, which, with
the value Of anti.friction metal, makes
tho business Of 1876 over double that of
1874. Considering the premium on gold
their business for 1875 is considerably
over 1000, 600.

Since the foundation of the
Government, there has not been
any man or men presented to
the American people for their
SURFACES, for the two highest
Offices in their gift, that have
been in any degree superior to
the standard bearers Of the De-
mocracy, in the Centennial year
1876. AS they and their history
stand out in bold relief, it causes
the patriots heart to swell with
pride, that we have still a few
such men left to rule the land
But reverse this picture, and con-
template the ticket presented by
the Radical party for the peo-
pies suffrages. Hayes and
Wheeler-scarcely ever heard of
beyond the limits of their own
States-the one employed by the
people of Ohio to sign public
documents, and the other a po-
itical broker. We cannot con-
ceive how any man, who has the
good of his country at heart, and
does not wish to perpetuate
Grantism, can vote for such a
ticket. The men seem complete
ly dwarfed, when compared with
the distinguished reformer, Sam
uel J. Tilden, and the eminent
statesman of Indiana, Thomas
Andrews Hendricks. We feel
assured that the American peo-
pie cannot fail to honor such
men as the latter, and elevate
them to the chief Offices in the
nation by a unanimity that has
not had its parallel in the last
half century.
