way back to Rome after he had fulfill Il
his mission at Brussels, his cnrriage

After they had pretty thoroughly rified

anything more. "Joserh," said tho
Bishop. turning to his servant. "did you

man considered it crime to lie, even

He considered it n crime to lie TO a

The Law In Regard to n Re-
count.

count
The last session OF the Legislature
passed a law providing that in any
election for County or township officers
where any candidate receives majority
no greater than ten In that case the op-
posing candidate may call for recount
Of the ballots Of each precinct by the
County Commissioners, acting as a can
vassing board.
Under this law it will be the privilege
Of Mr.. Green the Republican candidate
for County Clerk of this county to de-
mnnd a recount by making affidavit
that he believes there have been mis-
takes made in the count by the election
officers provided that the official can
vass Of the votes, which will be made
next Friday does not increase Helms
majority, which the unofficial returns
show to be seven. to number more
than ten. We think the law is a good
one. except that it ought to require the
person demanding the recount to swear
in reference to every precinct that he
believes mistakes have been made, but
the general probability of mistakes
should be sufficient to entitle the defeat
cd candidate to recount where the ma
jority against him is no q eater than ten.
OF course it is an easy matter for the
candidate to make the affidavit. but ii
should not be required. The law on
the subject IL found in the Statutes Of
Nevada Tor 1877 page 81.

at the city dispensary, has not been better than
it is at present for nany years la fact 50 few
prescriptions have been compounded that the
bill against the city for medicine, dus at the last
meeting of the City Council, was so small that
it was not presented. The death rate OF Alex.
andria has always been lower than that of al
most any city Of its size 10 the country, but
this fall 1t has boeu even lower than usual. For
those who would prefer a year OF glorious life
to century Of ordinary existence, Alexandria

The text Of Lord Salisburys response 10
Mr.. Evarts' recent unforu aate letter in refer
ence to the Canadian award has been published.
In it he says
Il hardly believe that Mr. EVarts would, in
discussion, adhere to the broad doctrine which
some portion Of bis language would appear to
convey-that no British authority has aoy
right to PASS any kind of law binding Ameri-
cans who are fishing 10 British waters, tor if
that contention be just, the Same disability ap.
plies fortiori, to any other power, and the
waters must be delivered over to anarchy. 1t
is not explicitly stated in Mr.. Evarts' dispatch
that he considers any recent acts of the colonial
legislature to be inconsistent with the rights
acquired by the United States under the treaty
of Washington: but if that is the case, Her
Msjesty's government will, in a friendly spirit
consider any representations he may think it
right to make on the subjec with the hope Of
coming to satisfactory understanding"
