THE MINT RUMOR.

The rumor which got astir of the super
seizure of Mr.. .Crawford by Mr. Daggett, as
Superintendent of the Carson Mint was run
down and bagged by Johnny Moore, yester-
day afternoon. Like a good aud patriotic
citizen, he telegraphed, fleet footed, to our fat
friend, asking him the question, point blank:
"Have you been appointed Superintendent of
the Carson D1int2" In due time the reply
came. It is as follows:
Virginia City, Sept. l, 1877.
Mr. J. Q. Moore-Have heard nothing OF
il r. NJ. DAGGETT.
We should say that that settled the bust
ness. It seems probable, at all events, that
if Mr.. Daggett had been made the recipient
of the honor of such an appointment he would
have known something about it. This is a
virtuous world and Daggett is one of the
deserving sort-that is to say, when he don't
deserve killing for his laziness, he deserves
Office and honors for his very active and we'll
directed patriotic efforts; but this happens not
to be one of the times when the office has
sought the man. The Elector still remains
in blushful retiracy Abiding to this interest
ing subject, the Virginia Chronicle of last
evening says: SIT was general report on the
streets to-day that R. NJ. Daggett had been
appointed Superintendent Of the Carson Mint.
A Chronicle reporter asked the gentleman
this afternoon if such was the case tie
answered that possibly Mr.. Hayes, in looking
around for modest merit, had picked him out,
but he had not heard OF it himself. He had
received no notification of the fact, and never
recollected of having asked Hayes for any
Office. Furthermore, he had no laundering
for party rewards" We guess that Ruther-
ford will continue to pat with approving hand
the well-shapedH political scalp of uncle
Crawford. 1t is always wise to let well
enough alone-and that's Como"

slight cough will throw it Of the patient has rest

cleanse the stomach and liver. Schencks Man
drake Pills act the liver removing all obstruc-
tions, relax the ga bladder the bile starts freely
