THE Louisiana imbioglio was repeated
last evening in the city Of Carson. /
was in connection With ;hs Third House
of the Legislature, but fortunately nc
battle nor bloodshed was the result. The
Packard wing of the House had pos
session of the District Court room and
| Jail, and the adhereDts of the Nichols
government had possession of the
Capitol and the neighboring saloons.
The police and militia we're on, in strong
array, and the excitement ran high on
| the streets. Ever now and then the
! Packard government received sccessions
from the outside, and at latest accounts
the Governor was giving his inaugural
to the people. President Grant as yet
has not recognized either party, and con-
se9Uentls bull doing is still rife in our
! midst.

pick up the old cigar stumps about the
streets and SALOONS send the same back

country they have what they call wine
baths. and after barrel of the fluid has
served for bath for a dozen or more
Frenchmen, then it is bottled up ard
sent to america under the name OF extra
imported wine.

of the most powerful warriors of the
day. But time has done its work with
him as we'll as the others Of his tribe.
and before many decades this world
which knows them BOW will know them
no more forever.
The Senatorial contested case in Elko
has been occupying the attention of the
proper authorities, and the testimony is
nov on its way to Carson. Cohn is con-
testing the seat of Stone on the ground
that the latter was q postmaster when
elected. It seems to US that this case
was plainly decided by the pc ople when
Stone was elected by a considerable
majority.
By reference TO our advertising col
umns it will be seen that Dr.. Fox has
concluded to settle in our midst. and in
the future lend his services to the aid of
The sick in Carson. The Doctor has
been successful practitioner for long
time elsewhere in Nevada. and in adii-
ton to a thorough knowledge of the
medicsl art he brings 20 his aid the ex-
perienca and judgment Of years.
