Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1877-01-23

Governor Morton has made. u
speech in opposition to the electoral
bill. He believed that Governor
Hayes had been elected the President
of the United States and should be
counted in according to law in the
usual manner. The power to count
the vote resides in the two Houses or
in the President of the Senate. If
it so resides by the constitution and
law, then it cannot be delegated to
any court or commission. Biologists
tell us, he says, that there was a
period in the earth's crust where
there were skulless vertebrates.
Now we have got to a period when
there are vertebrateless skulls. The
speech was &c exhaustive one and
had the effect Of strengthening the
opposition.

A bill has passed the Senate which
empowers juries TO f. the penalty in
cases Of murder and to determine wheth.
er the sentence shall be death or impris.
onment for life. This bill will probably
be favorably received in the House. and
in that event will become q law in the
State. Should this occur. it is probable
that hereafter . great many more con.
victiens will result than therefore,, and
the morals of the community will be
benefited at large. So long as there is a
doubt in the minds of . jury in regard
to the guilt of the criminal, they are
liable to disagree and discharge the
guilty one altogether. instead of sentenc-
ing him to death. Generally speaking,
q juror is very 10th to give his verdict
for hanging unless the case is certain in
his own mind; but he will-vote for i'm
prisonment for life, and then if the &C.
cused should afterwards happen to ap-
pear innocent the sentence can be com.
muted and the truth prevail. After q
man is once hung there is no bringing
him back to life: the jury is always
aware of this fact, and in consequence
many q criminal goes free for want of
sufficient proof to convict. A law Of
this kind is in force in California, and
the results there are said to be very sat-
isfactory. A similar law in Nevada could
scarcely fail to rebound to the public

In digging down hillside near the
town Of Siegburg, Germany, short
time ago, ancient pottery works were
discovered in which many rare and
valuable pieces Of pottery were found
notably set illustrating biblical
history from Adam and Eve to the as
cension Of Christ. Several ovens were
filled with fine ware, and among the
discoveries were a number of quaint
old patterns. Some of the pottery
boro inscriptions and some were deco
rated with figures, such as the Empe-
ror Constantine, Roman goddesses,
and the coats-of-arms of Julich, Cleve
and Berg, all beautifully colored and
glazed.

A NOVEL Snow PLow-The Scientific
American makes mention of a ''novel
method for removing snow from rail
road tracks, elted by one John
Mabbs, of Houghton, Mich. The inven-
tor simply makes use of the same ele-
ment that piles up these distinctions on
railway tracks, to remove the same.
Thus great scoop is placed in front of
the locomotive, wide enough to clear the
whole track at once. Into this the snow
is forced by the advancing train, and
now, by an artificial blast Of air, this
mass of snow is instantly raised and fore
ed up through an upright pipe or stack,
the top Of which is hung on a swivel,
which is turned in whatever direction
the wind may be blowing. Suppose a
train Is moving at the rate of 40 or so
miles per hour, it is self-evident that the
snow would enter the mouth OF the SCOOP
at the same rate of speed, but here it
would instantly meet with counter cur
rent travelling at the rate of 100 miles
per hour, if needed, and this would scat
ter the snow like chaff before the wind,
so eifectually, in fact, that not even q
pile of snow a foot high would be left
within Il radius Of hundreds of yards
from the track.

We're struggling with the disease, he took
charge of the office and kept up eommu-
nication, without which the town would
have been entirely shut away from outer
relief. He sent and received dispatches
correctly, although he ha had no in
struction ana nobody in the Office was
conscious that he had picked up a know
ledge of the art. He was formally thank
ed 10y resolution Of the Relief Assoc:a-

A TRoTTING TEAM OF OxEN.-Dexter
the tanner of bovines, created Il great sem

pearing in carriage drawn by four
milk white oxen, all in harness, and
driven tandem. The gay and festive
looking beasts pranced along in fine
style-"heads up and tails a risin',' as
our John would say. Governor Thayer
was invited to take ride, and was driv-
en- about for some time by Dexter
Other gentlemen also enjoyed the nov
city. Dexter says that either OF his
oxen can trot a mile in 3:47. He offers
to bet any amount OF money that he can
load wagon with 4,500 pounds of
freight, attach his four oxen, and make
better time to Deadwood than any four

possibly do.

OLD CLOTHES.

Nothing seems to be 50 thoroughly
used up as old clothes. The buying and
selling of cast-of' apparel is great bus
mess in London. Usually the worn gar
ments are freshened up by dye-stuffs,
pressed and otherwise doctored Tor the
market This process is called clobber-
ing and in itself is business. The bet
ter class of old dress coats, when nicely
clobbered, have respectable appear
ance. Clerks with poor salaries, wal
tiers, small tradesmen ana curates with
meagre stipends, are among the pur-
chasers. Coats and wooden garments
which have done good service are expor-
ted to Ireland and Holland, where you
may see them in great quantities for
sale at the fairs and markets. Wooden
garments may be disposed of time after
time; they are at length no longer pos
sible, and then comes total revolution
in their character; the buttons are taken
off, the Innings are torn out, and what
=
chinery into devils dust. This is the
first step in what may be called the re-
surrection in cid clothes. When coat
will not so much as hang together to
dress up a scarecrow, it will still make
down into very good shoddy, as the
devils dust is politely named. The
meaning OF this is that the garment is
torn up by the toothed wheels intoa con-
dition Of loose fibres, which, on beng
properly sifted, are mixed with fresh
wool, carded, spun and woven into cloth.
This is a triumph of art The shoddy,
or mungo,as it is sometimes called, after
beng fit for the dung-heap, is ineorpor-
ated into what appears to be exceeding
ly beautiful cloth, and is a gain proud

The town of Gheel, in the Province
OF Antwerp. has been for six centuries
an abode of madmen. There are II 900
Inhabitants in fireplace, and they have
charge of 1900 lunatics from abroad,
who are among the families, and are
treated with great consideration. The
children from youth are familiarized with
the business, and all the people know
how to manage those committed to their
charge. One of the greatest social pun
ishments that can be inflicted on fam
lily is to declare that it is unfit to re-
ceive such borders The l1lnatics are
disposed of among the inhabitants ac-
cording to their wealth or stations, the
better families receiving the wealthier
patients. The cures average, it IS said,
from sixty to seyenty-fiye to the hnn-
dred. Gheel is divided into four dis
tricts, each with its overseer and ply
stefan. Large sums Of money are spent
in the place by the patients, and fami-
lies generally are DESTROYS of having one
or more lunatics on their hands.
