death Of one uf the pioneers OF Eastern
Nevada. C. L. lBlackinn. His death
was the result uf ono of the strangest
and simplest accidents. being caused hy
the Judgement Of small piece Of egg
shell. which he had swallowed, in IN
intestine. and which it is supposed to
have lncerated. he having suffered in
tense agony, until relieved by death,
which occurred at about o'clock i. Il.
Monday. Deceased was an old Cali
fornIan, having immigratcd to tho Col
den Stute from his bono III Philndel-

the army Of silver seekers aud crossed

III the we'll known Reese River excite
meIt, pitching his tent in the town
Of Clifton early in the Spring OF 90.
During the years since elapsed he stead
lily devoted his attention to prospecting
and mining, in which pursuits he was
unusually successful, but liberal ard
rowing disposition WIS an insuperable
barrier TO tho accumulation Of wealth.
Our associations with tho deceased dur
ing the early days Of Austin, were both
intimate and pleasant, and tho picture
of robust health and excellent state OF
preservation presented in him ut his
visit to us here last summer, renders the
realization that our old friend is 10
more, quito impossible. He was in the
primo OF life being about SO or 40 yonrs

How 1t Might Have Been.

An able western Democratic paper
which the President has shown in his
management Of the Southern problem.
Abiding to the striking peaceful picture
presented by the Southern states in the
midst of the wide spread and alarming
tnmults attending the late strike, and the
almost absolute exemption OF those states
from the dangers that threatened the
North, it says that there is another fact
in this connection that equally challenges
ret1ectiOn-the thorough vindication of
Mr. Hayes Southern policy and condem-
nation of the Southern policy Of his pre-
decessor which the late disturbances fur
nshed.
Suppose the strike had taken place two
years ago, under Grant, or that, when it
took place some weeks ago, government
had been involved in the Grant policy of
maintaining offensive carpet bag govern
ments in two or three Southern states
what would we have seen? This Either
the troops retained at the South to pro
tect the carpet baggers from the wrath
of the people, and Maryland, West Viz
ginla and PENNSYLVANIA left to the unre-
sisted strikers, OF the troops transferred
to those states leaving South Carolina
and Louisiana to an unopposed revolt
ton. 1t might have been even worse
than this ; the oppressed and harrassed
whites of these two states might have
recognized the strike spreading so rapid
ly throughout the North as their oppor-
tunity, made common cause with the
strikers, and risen in force to assert their
rights against federal Cypress ion Had
they done this, the strikers, encouraged
and stimulated by the diversion in their
favor would have proceeded to more VIC
lent measures and excuses, the feeble
federal forces would have been ever
whelmed by the task allotted to them,
and a national call for volunteers to sup
suppress the two rebellions might have
been unavoidable. Fortunately, this per
il was averted by the withdrawal of the
troops from louisiana and South Carolina
four months ago, so that when the strike
was made, the government, with no 9th
er task on its hands, was free to employ
its forces against the Northern enemies.
If Mr. Hayes had actually foreseen the
strike four months ago he could not have
more inteligently and efficiently prepar-
ed for it that by recalling the troops from
New Orleans and Columbia. Gen Grants
term OF office did not expire to 500 for the
good OF the country. Had he been Presi-
dent stubbornly maintaining the old
Southern policy in Louisiana, South Car
DINA, and perhaps, Mississippi, the strik-
ers might this day be our masters.
