OUR COUNTY TICKET.

ticket bearing so many old familiar nam, S
as that which was put in nomination vester-
day by the Republicans of Ormsby County,
like good wine, "needs no bush" Among
the nominees there are but few who have not
already taken part in the affairs of the county
in one capacity and another and all we be-
lieve, have been trusted with the performance
of public duties of some kind. We doubt if
any officer in the State can present 50 strong
a record as Sheriff Swift He has been the
incumbent of the position to which he was
nominated yesterday, since 1868. He is now
named for his sixth term. This is very en-
phatic endorsement. George ellison leaves
the Board of County Commissioners, of which
he has been a most useful member, to accept
the nomination for Senator. He is man of
much native force CT character, great sagacity
and tireless energy He will make very
efficient representative of our interests. Hon
H. G. Parker, an experienced legislator and a
very faithful and intelligent member of the
last House of Assembly, richly deserves the
endorsement of denomination. Charley
Wilson, who is as true and honest and loyal
a man as ever breathed, and as faithful a
Republican as he is honest i'll his life and
friendship, will prove himself one of the
most industrious and useful members Of the
Legislature. Mr.. Ed. Coombs, the Assembly,
man named by the Empire delegation, bears
among his neighbors first rate reputation
for all the qualities needed in legislator.
Fraser for Treasurer, Helm for Clerk, Turner
for Recorder Cheney and Morris for Com
missioners, Pixley for Assessor, Moody for
Superintendent of Schools, Kersey for Public
Administrator and Witherell for Justice of
the Peace, all are first rate nominations.
Glad to see our old friend Constable Stern
again in nomination. 1t seems to us that the
Convention acted with great wisdom in their
selection of Messrs c. n Harris, Marshall
Robinson and j. j. Linn for School
Trustees of this District. The nomination of
a Surveyor has been left to the County Com
mittee to fill We are glad to see the affairs
of the party entrusted to such an excellent
County Committee as Messrs O. p Willis,
Gus Lewis. Tom Beer, Sam Wright and F. D.
Stadtmuler, The Republicans of Ormsby
County have every reason i'll the world to be
pleased with their ticket 1t will be tri-
umphantly elected, of course. The plat form
and resolutions have the right ring; and the
hearty endorsement of Senator Jones is in
all respects his due. Again is Ormsby County
to maintain herself as the Banner
Republican County of the State.

THE OPINION OF A JUDICIOUS
DEMOCRAT

George Cassidy is one of the most judlciOus
men in the Democratic party OF this State.
His opinion is always worth having. See how
he talks of the strength Of the Republican
Ticket Says he, IN the Sentinel OF Friday :
The Democracy of Nevada should bear in
mind that they have not walk over in the
pending canvass The fight may be lost
through inaction. Over confidence is dan
gerous thing i'll all political campaigns. Hin
kead is developing unexpected strength. Dis
guise the fact as We may, Republicans are fast
settling down to the conviction, that III the
polished Humbodter, they have very avail
able candidate for Governor The experience
of the past teaches that the Humboldt voter
is not reliable partisan when citizen OF
that county Is a candidate for an important
office Although strongly Democratic, Hum
boldt County is likely to give kmkead "A
handsome ma iority. In WashOe, also, he
has strong following among the independ-
ents, and is sure to make a good run IN the
cradle of reform. With ground swell on
the Comstock, such as we have ali seen be
fore, notably in the Jones and Sharon cam
paigns, it is not impossible for him to 20 out
of Storey with ma jority varying from 500
to POO. Ormsby, Lyon and Douglas are all
Republican. 1t is thus shown that Governor
Bradley by no means has dead thing
third term, and his friends and the Demo
cratic party cannot be too watchful or Jealous
in his interest. He was not our choice, but
now that he is the nominee of the party, We
want to see him elected.
Dagsett for Governor would have been
weak for Congress he is especially strong
Bonanza charges will not count i'll the Con
gressonal race. If he goes TO Congress,
pledged to help the Bonanzas on the silver
question, the same pledge is good for the
balance of the people of the State, inasmuch
as he can not work for full reconciliation
of silver without the efforts rebounding to the
best interests of the whole Commonwealth.
Then there comes in the possibility OF the
next Presidential election being thrown into
the House, Republicans understanding the
situation in this regard, viii not be disposed
to 90 back on an old aud tried leader like
Dagcett i'll such a crisis If the State be
Republican. the chances of DaEgett beng
successful are most excellent.

THE PROSPECTOR.

Of the hardy and adventurous men by
whose daring and enterprise the mineral re
sources of the Pacific States have been dis
covered, the Tuscarora Times Rsciejr of Thars
day says:
How very little consideration is given to
the men who leave their homes, shoulder d
pick and shovel and 90 out prospecting.
When mines are developed and are paying
handsome dividends, who ever thinks Of the
men who located them? Does any one VIII"

hardships, delved day and night, only to be

especially, does the prospectOr fare hard. He
IS not like the pioneer in other countries, for
IN nine out of ten instances, he gets no re
turn for his work. According to the custom
adopted III mining circles, his only chances to
make stake ont Of his find is TO incorpor-
ate. And how often this very thing means
ruin to him. Assessments are levied, and the
poor ploSpector, vino can barely keep body
and soul together, Is frozen out He has no
money-hCw can he pay assessments But
the prOspeCtor Is a cheerful fellow as well as Il
philosopher, Quietly he shoulders the old
battered pick and shovel, scrapes together
few dollars, and goes OFF to the mountains
again, perhaps to some UNEMPLOYED regions,

Meanwhile men of capital, men who possibly
never did days work, are enjoying the
fruits Of his toll. Well he finds another
claim, and it is the same old story over again.
assessments, and the final abandonment of
the fortune that should have been his.
Wherever the pioneer goes and makes a home
for himself, hewing down the trees and cu'ti-
waiting the soil, he receives the benefit of his
labor. He is respected and becomes a part of
the country he helped to subdue But how
many men do we see every day, who have
spent years prospecting and are still homeless.
Their hair turns gray, and yet they go on,
over hill and valley, in search Of the fortune
they'll never find. Say d good word for the
man who breaks the way to all Of mining
camps, and to whom We owe the wonderful
wealth Of all THIS coast-the prospectyr.

A female outcast made her home in an un-
used drift of Butler CoIIicry, near Pittston,
Pa, nearly two years ago, and the FIRE by
which she cooked spread to the mine, which
was so situated that water could not be intro
duced to qucuch the flames, which continued
to spread, and were only prevented from ex-
tending to the mines by the construction of a
brick wall six feet thick, which isolated the
fire. 1t is estimated that 3OO,0 tons of coal
have been consumed, and the town of Pittston
would in time have been burned under but

General of Canada, has had the misfortune
to lose one of his eyes, but, by wearing a
glass substitute and an eye-glass, the useless
eye appears ''as good as new" While travel
ing in Ireland, his native land, some years
ago, Lord Dufferin, to get to his destination,
made use of the national iaunting car. The
driver was particularly loquacious and COM
municative, and his flow of conversation was
all the more free and easy since he had not
the slightest idea of the rank of his passen-

ernor-G General asked him what news he had

A BRUTAL FELLOW Says the Reno Record
of Friday;
brute who has been living near the Viz

some time past, and making that portion Of
the city scene of several disgraceful affairs,
took several squaws with him into d field in
the suburbs of town, and furnished them
with all the whisky they could conveniently
carry, and the nmade night hideous with their
unearthly noises. At very late hour he re-
turned and endeavored to get one of them
back to his den, but the poor thing was in a
state of beastly intoxication, and unable to
walk. he dragged her along, almost tearing
the clothes from her body, lascerating the
skin terribly, and whenever the woman made
noise, he would beat and choke her until
the breath almost left her body. The low
minded heartless brute should be treated to
dose of fre-proof paint and asphaltum, to-
gether with a slight coating of feathers, and
the sooner it is done the better for the COM
munity.

ESSEX COUNTY.

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.1
JULY Is, 1873.
The session OF our County Court was held
on Monday the 18th instant, but there was
no business OF importance before it, and but
little was done. The day being very
warm, there was slim attendance. 1t was
thought that some Of the aspirants for con-
gressional honors (of whom it seems there
are many in this as well as other districts
in the State) would be present and address
the people, but even they were deferred, it
is presumed, by the weather. The people
haze learned to look upon our legislative
boHcs, both State and Federal. as OF but
little practical benefit to the country, and as
really the source OF more evil than good,
consequently they are more inclined in their
selections to honor their friends than to be
governed by considerations Of fitness in the
aspirant.
The farmers generally have threshed their
wheat, and the failure III this and adjoining
counties WAS almost entire. Instances have
occurred OF good river-lands treated with
fertilizers only yielding three bushels, the
general yield being from two to, in rare
cases, seven or eight. A larger crop was
seeded and more fertilizer used last fall
than usual in anticipation Of high prices.
and most OF the fertilizer bought on crop
time. The result is that the fertilizer CAN'T
be paid for, and serious depression must
ensue. = -
The hay crop was an abundant one; SO
also the oat crop, though it was somewhat
affected by rust.
Corn is looking well, though later than
usual, and unless the hot, dry weather
should continue-which has already lasted
over two weeks-we may look for q good
Yield; but rain is very much needed now in
this immediate section for this as we'll as
garden vegetables.
The low price which farm-produce. OF
every kind has reached is very depressing
to agriculture, and In view Of the condition
of labor and the prices demanded there is no
margin Of profit in this interest. There is
nothing now to induce usto hope for better
priees-the bubble Of European war hay
ing bursted ave must curtail expenses and
endeayor to struggle on in the hope OF bet
