Monday in January. March, May, July,

ors of both counties at the general
election in 1873, and his salary is to be
So. 900 per anpum, of which sum Elko
is to pay SO 600 and HUMBOLDT 50 COO
AS our Representatives in the Legis-
lature may be dispose d to favor this
bill on the score o. economy, it may
not be out Of place to inquire into its
merits. IF it becomes a hw, Hmm
boldt County will have SIX terms of
court annually. Owing to the pxeva-
lence of crime, grand jury Will have
. to be sunmo led and emp tuneled at
each term of court, as there is scarcely
a month in the year that SONS body Is
not held to answer before such body.
This will give US two more grand jur-
les annually than We have III present,
and as each grand jury costs the
county from $500 to $1,000, the extra
grand juries alone will offset the SAY
ing on the Judges salary. II an in-
dictment is. found, or there are civil
Ca SEES on the calendar req uiring Il jury,
two extra venires for trial jurors will
have 10 issue, which will make the tx
peases of the court Much greater than
at present. SO that, on the ground of
economy, alone. the changeashoald not
be effected,
Aside from these considerations, the
fact that Elko exceeds Humboid* in
population, will ensure the judQeship
to a resident of that county, who will
come here only when obliged to and
remain only while court is in session.

A BILL THAT SHOULD PASS.

A bill hos been introduced IN the
Assembly, by Howard. of this county,
to amend an Act entitled "An Act Con-
corning Crimes and Punishments.
It provides that section G2 Of said
Act be amended 80 rs to read as fol-
lows,
Every person who shall feloniously
steal take, carry or drive away, the
personal property or goods Of another,
under the value of 6fty dollars, shall
be deemed guilty of petit larceny and,
npon conviction thereof. shall be pun
ished by imprisonment IN the county
by fue not exceeding $500. and in adj
disiou to the above punishment the
court may. in its discretion, cause the
hair of the person or persons so con-
vie4ed to be clipped within an inch of
the scalp, aud may direct the sheriff
or constable in attendance on the court
to carry tie order into eTsct.''
The passage of this bill would be
the first practical step towards reform
ing the Chinese. who appear to be a
thieving race by nature and education.
These pilfepers rarely are guilty of a
theft that rises to the dignity of grand
larceny. They are source of or, a
expense to every county in the State
and as the offences of which they are
generally convicted are punishable by
fine. they Will invariably pay it in pref
erence to losing their cues. It is the
cheapest, aud in the opinion of Officer S
who have given the subject considera-
Bile attention. the only effective meth
cd of making Cinnamon homes st, and
comparatively Inexpensive to the tax
payers in communitiea where they
reside.

NEW ORLEANS, August %, 1877.
The undersigned, Committee on Postal Rels
lions appointed by the Mayor of New Orleans. in
furtherance Of the plans and suggestions OF the
Postal Convention held in July at Old Point Com
fort. desire the cooperation OF other sections Ut
the State.
We therefore suggest that the mayors OF
cities and towns in the interior should appoint
committees TO acquire information as to:
/. Any reform or improvement needed in
routes now established.
g. Information az to such routes as were once
established and now abandoned, and which
should be resumed.
B. As to new routes required.
These committees might report directly to the
members Of Congress II. m their respective dis
trigts. or through this committee to the Postal
Commission appointed by Congress.
operate with the Postal Commission and the
members of Congress from Louisiana, to the end
that we may secure an equal share OF the appre-
priations for the Postoffiee Department and that
our commercial and agricultural interests may
not longer snffar for the want of an eff hent and
extended mail service.
For the renewal Of old routes or the establish
ment Of new ones, We would suggest that dia-
grams be appended to petition setting forth she
towns or settlements through Wnlen bne routes
should pass, the population which would be
thereby supplied, distances between points where
pustof1ces should be established, and the pro-
ducts of the section.
These petitions should be as extensively oircu-
lated and signed as possible by the officials and
citizens OF such neighborhoods as woul be ben
Gifted by the proposed mail facilities.
It would be well to have separate petition and
diagram for each route required.
As to the irregularities to be corrected or inn
provements needed, IL would be well 20 attach
che certificates to the facts stated OF the post
mssters along the route, or at least OF those at
the termini OF the route
ANY member of the committee will receive COM
municationa az to postal business, and bring the
matter to the attention OF the committee.
10 render efIectual our eff ,rts, communications
should be sent in without delay, as during Sep
TENDER the proposals for bids for mail service IN
this State will be prepared for publication on
the first Of Dc ober.
Newspapers desiring to cooperate will please
publish this circular, and endeavor to create
among their constituencies appreciation OF
the Importance of these measures.

Paiais Royal.

Among the many changes to take place soon
on the grand boulevard none will be more strik-
ing and more indicative Of the good time to come
than the swayipg to the breeze the banners OF the
grand "Palais Royal" Our enterprising friend
Levy, who has for so many years been the popu~
ar proprietor OF the dollar store, No. 1877 Canal
street, seems to have had his faith shaken in re-
publican institutions and ideas, and il deter
mined, with one fell swoop, to oblterate the
name of dollar store forever. He ia making prep
arations for the opening of this elegant and gor~
geous establishment, and nothing will be spared
in making it the most attractive place in the
Southern country. LeVy's dollar store is KNOWN
throughout the whole South, and as it has been.
known for it's promptness in filing orders and
the polite attention of the clerks and the place to-
get everything, 80 will the Palais Royal grow
into popular favor, for we will see in the large
and gilded signs that are to adorn the building
evidences Of new era, q prosperity which We
have Ionged for but never expected until the
present time.

ONCE TOO OFTEN.

VIM. Won Sacks has placed himself in such
position that it will take twelve Of his country
men to decide his case.
Many is the time he has been arrested for hay
ing stolen property in his possession and in every
iostance he has managed to get the best Of tardy
justice. But as the reckless performer some
times enters the lions den once too often, 80 did
Sacks defy the law, and once sleepy justice has
now opened wide her eyes and points him to his
day of retribution.
On Thursday he was before Judge Milten-
berger on two charges. The first affidavit
charged him with harboring set OF harness be-
longing to DR.. Capdevielle, knowing the same to
have been stolen; on this affidavit he stood an
examination, aud was sent before the First Dis
trict Court under $3.50 bonds.
The second affidavit charged Sacks with re-
ceivng set of stolen harness, the property Of
Dr. Borde. The accused waived examination on
the charge, and was sent before the First District
Court under the same amount of bonds as in the
frat case.
