A WISE MEASURE

Yesterday in the Assembly was
passed a bill whose nature and pur-
nose are we'll worth considering. we
have reference to the bill introduced
by Mr.. Sawtelle, providing for the
purchase "for the benefit of the State
school fund. of the bonds of this State
known as the Territorial bonds !"
The amount of these bonds is S3SO,oOO.
In order to make this purchase, the
sum of $4,000 is transferred from the
General Fund to the Territorial Inter
est and Sinking Fund; and with tins
sum at their disposal, a Board of Com
missioners, consisting of the Superln-
tendent of Public instruction, State
Treasurer and State Controller, are to
he empowered to add the same TO the
L. S. and State bonds now in the
School Fund, and, with the sum total
thus derivable, purchase the said out
standing Territorial Bonds and place
them to the credit of the School fund.
In other words, the State debt IS to be
refunded for the benefit of the School
fund. Under this arrangement the
state pays into its own treasury
the amount of interest money due
upon what it owes. This amount OF
$3.50, 900 is to be engrossed in one sim
gle bond, which is to be of parchment,
and deposited with the State Treasurer.
Under this arrangement the rate OF tax
alton can be reduced to cents upon
each one hundred dollars of the taxa
BILE property in the State, as against
tax Of a much higher rate heretofore
levied for the Territorial Interest and
Sinking Fund. The State will by this
means save money, in the end, and
instead of paying out interes: money
to nonresident, pay it into its own
School fund. The bond thus proposed
il to be irredeemable and not trans
ferable, and is intended as perpetual
source Of revenue to the School Fund.

aILENPENsE OF HoODLUMISM.

One who is much interested in the
passage of the House of Refuge Dill
was informed, yesterday, by gentle
man connected with the business OF
ore reduction in Storey bounty, that
there were employed, now, not less
than seventy-five watchmen in ana
about the mills and hoisting-works OF
Virginia City and Gold Hill. whose
special function it is to guard the wood
piles belonging to those mills ana
works from the incursions and plum
behring's of marauding hoodlums. This
gentleman further said that the exces-
sive number of vicious boys indicated
ia mainly due to the fact that there IS
ut present, no adequate means ior
their restraint and correction. DO not
these facts furnish an argument Tor
the immediate passage OF the salo
House of Refuge Bill? Is not storey
county interested in such measure
on pecuniary grounds? Watchmen
command q rate of daily wages OF not
less than three dollars. Seventy-flve
men, al that rate, involve an expendl-
ture of no less than two hundred ana
twenty-five dollars per day. Say 1t Is
less than half that sum. Say it amounts
10 800 per diem. That contemplates
an aggregate of 800 per annum-
and the actual sum expended prob
ably amounts to more than twice that
sum. Now this bill proposes to appro-
pirate but $4,000 for the erection OF
the said House Of Refuge-or $50
much of that sum as is necessary"
Under the bill as amended 1t is alto
gether likely that two thirds OF that
sum will be more than enough. Now
supposing that by means of House
of Refuge the hoodlumism OF Storey
county is checked, even to the extent
of suppressing a tenth of its present
proportion, is it not promising piece
of economy to establish such an lnsti-
tuition? And this is only one way OF
presenting the sordid view of the case
the weighing of the morals OF the
rising generation against dollars ana
cents.

INDECENT INSANE.

The report Of the Commissioners for
the care of the INDECENT Insane has
been published, and was yesterday
distributed in the Senate and House.
After an introduction signed by the
Commissioners themselves, AN exhibit
is given in which the contract for the
care of the unfortunate is stated,
and then a series of statements and
tables follow. From the report it is
seen that the patients are cared for at
the rate of seven dollars per week and
this arrangement will continue until
the State authorities of the State OF
Nevada are prepared to make other
arrangements. In their introduction
we are told by the Board, that our in
sane are reasonably we'll cared for in
every respect. There are now eighty
patients in the Asylum. In regard to
building the Asylum in this State and
removing our insane to 1t, the Board
can only reiterate their recommended
tons to the last Legislature: "Ip
view of the increase in the number of
INDECENT insane, for whose care and
maintenance the State must provide,
and the large amount OF money that
must be expended for that purpose,
the citizens of the State should receive
the benefit of such expenditure as
soon as it can be done in justice to
these unfortunates, by providing suit
able buildings for that purpose"

THE PARIS EXPOSITION.

1t would seem that the Paris Ex-
position is not likely to be such an
enterprise of success as was first an
ticipated. There are many facts
which will conspire in opposition,
and these together will have a weight
which French ingenuity can scarcely
overcome. Other things being
equal there is perhaps no better
place in the world for the Exposition
proposed than Paris. 1t is situated
in the very heart Of Europe. possesses
ample accommo dations for guests
of all nationalities and creeds and is
connected with the outside world by
a system of railroads not excelled in
completeness by that of anyother city
in the world. Yet with the advantages
of ample accommodations for the
guests. with communication with
other nations abroad, with people
thoroughly ingenious and given to
the work there are likely to be pre-
sented certain obstacles which will
materially interfere with the sue
| cess of the exposition, and prevent
other nations from taking any great
interest in the cause. In the first
place such exhibitions are becoming
far too common, and exhibitors are
beginning to tire of the results.
That of Philadelphia was grand
| indeed, but the repetition of so
much labor, and ingenuity and
care is scarcely to be
expected at such a near
time in the future. The world will
| grow weary of any proposition if too
often repeated, and French exhibit
ton following so closely that OF
America could scarcely receive the
support so essential to success. Then
in the second place France has too
many enemies in Europe. An ex-
hibition in which Germany would
| refuse to take part would be almost
like Hamlet with the Prince left out,
| and that such will be the case there
is scarcely doubt. The feeling OF
hatred between these two countries
is vet too intense; the memories OF
the bloody days just passed are yet
too fresh to allow any great inter
course at large, and German artisans
would do very little which in any
way would rebound to the glory of
France Then the prospect of war
in the East, the likelihood of re-
course to arms between the Rus
slams and Turks is sufficient to
throw a damper upon any expectancy
of aid from that quarter, and if this
war should occur then France her
self as we'll as the other nations of
Europe may be not altogether free
from participation. The war cloud
may blow finally away, the Ger
mans may be induced to take part in
the exposition itself. but the present
appearances are opposed to such q
course, and the glory of France is
not likely to be increased by any re-
markable display of ingenuity or
talent, or by any great congregation
of the nationalities of the world
within her borders.

only through the kindly Offices of the
Electoral Commission that a portion Of it
has been preserved to our freedmen. An
overpowering force Of armed men stands
ready to assail at moments notice the
result of the exercise of the right to
choose a Governor. After this frank
declaration of the President, we may con-
fidently expect him to employ his consti-
tutional power and influence to rehabili-
tate the State government which the
emancipated people have set up at SO
much risk and expense, and which has
been as good as overthrown by the armed
minority, dominant in this parish. Not
only the people of this State, but of the
whole United States, have deep interest
in the decision of the question whether
party may do by force and fraud what
is prohibited to be done by law. If our
Democrats shall be permitted to reap the
fruits of their last falls violence it will be
a premium given to lawlessness, and an
invitation not only to them but to all
lawless partisans throughout the country
to repeat the tactics at the next election.
Their palpable disregard of State laws to
which they should have submitted "loy-
ally and heartily" is the sole basis of
their claim to the State government.
Their title is as defective as was Mr. Til
denis to the eight electoral votes, and we
hope for the one of these twins the same
constitutional protection and influence
which has already been accorded to the
other.

have no more of it, nor it of him. He re-
tires from the Democratic front much
wiser and one hundred thousand dollars
poorer than when he had the emptied
honors thrust upon him. Had he served
his country with half the zeal he worked

THE PRESIDENTS INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
This anxiously looked for document has
come to us in due time, and has already
been read and commented upon by many
millions Of people. There is nothing in
it to which true Republican can object,
and if the Democrats are also pleased
with it, why, then, all the better for them.
We fail to md in the address anything to
justify the hopeful anticipaions which
have been INDUCED in by Bohemian
special reporters, that the Southern policy
of the new administration is to DO essen
TALLY different from the preceding one.
In his references to the constitution, both
in his letter Of acceptance aud inaugural,
President Hayes is careful to define the
the kind Of instrument he alIudes to. In
the first instance be emphasizes the duty
Of obeying the now parts as wen as the
old. aud yesterday he lays It down as a
fixed condition that the governments Of
the Southern States must be heartily loyal
ITO the constitution as IL Is. The Re
