The Republican. State Central Com
mittee. which met in Virginia City day
before yesterday, named a day and
place, as stated yesterday. for holding
the Convention. aud apportioned dele
gates thereto among the several
counties. The representation was in
creased thirty-one delegates over that
of two years ago; but in apportioning
the extra delegates Humboldt was
slighted. In the next Convention.
which is to be composed of 1870 dele.
gates, this county is allowed only FIVE.
The injustice of this is apparent from
the following: At the last Presidential
election the total number of votes
polled for the Republican electors in
Nevada was, for Daggett 1925;
.Tafy 1885,. bishop. 1924, an
average say of 1925. OF these Hum
boidt poiled about 4OO. The basis of
Z representation in the Convention, &C.
eprdlug TO the number of Republican
votes polled IN the State, is one dele,
gate tor each 70 votes, and the custom
is to allow one delegate to each county
independent of the vote cast. This
would entltie Humboldt to five dele
gates for its vote and one for the
county, sothat it was actually cheated
out of at least oae vote. to which it was
legitin ately entitled.
This is attributed 10 several causes,

A Man Who Was Hanged.
1St. Louis Republican.

81. LOUIS Repul1can.
A gray-haired and decrepit prisoner ar
charge of Detective r. A. Kincade, of Olney.
ILL.,, and J. Stone, ex-Sherif of Putnam
county, Ind. The old man was lodged in
our city Jail, and last evening he resumed his
journey toward Perryville, Boyle county,
where he is wanted for having murdered an
old and helpless lady in cold blood on the
night of the 18th day of April twelve years
ago.
In 1866 John Taylor lived near Danville,
KY, and enjoyed the Injuries of good health,
little care, fair means of living, and large
family. His son, William Taylor, was in
dicted by the grand jury of Boyle county for
robbing country dwelling and stealing some
goods. One of the principal witnesses in his
case was Mrs. Mary Bolton, widow, who
lived in farm house, with no other COM
panion than little granddaughter. On the
morning of the 18th of April, that year, the
old lady was found dead in her bed, with
bullet hole in her head and the bedclothes
drenched with blood. At first the horror
leemed likely to remain mystery, till the
title granddaughter, whom fright for long
time rendered mute, said that she awoke
about II O'Clock the night before. and saw
two men in the room whom she readily
recognized as John Taylor and his son Will
liam. She knew their presence meant mis-
chief, and she quietly covered herself up
with the bedclothes. She heard the rifle shot
that killed her grandmother, but was
paralyzed, and SO gave no sign. The men
did not discover her.
At once the father and son were placed
under arrest. The prisoners were forcibly
taken from the officers, carried to the woods,
and hung to tree. The crowd remained
only long enough to complete their work, as
they supposed. By some agency-possibly
through defect in the rope the old man
was allowed to fall to the ground shortly
after the mob left, and there he lay for
several hours. He finally recovered the use
of his limbs, but not of his mind, and went
a wandering. He was recaptured and es-
capped. He made for Illinois and found
safety in the swamps of Egypt for nearly a
year. Thence he went to Cooper county,
Mo-, thence to Kansas, thence back to south
west Missouri, thence to Burbane county,
Kas., thence to Vernon county Mo-, where he
made his final settlement, near the town of
Nevada, Vernon county. At each of the
above places he spent a year or two, leading
the wretched life of a squatter, but at the
last place he met with some success in tilling
a patch of ground. There he was detected.
He has daughter living in Kentucky, and
five sons-in-law, some of whom live in Mis-
souri,.

kept cell she was found, standing, as de-
scribed by the ladies who had first
seen her, with her eyes closed,
whilst on her countenance there was most
placid expression. The keepers approached
her tenderly and called her by name, without
getting any response. Perfectly immovable
she stood, her face pale and without express
sion, whilst her limbs seemed to be barely
able to support her. She was, both in figure
and face, what, under other circumstances,
would have been beautiful woman, but
long suffering had wrought
TERRIBLE CHANGES.
The reporter approached her and called
her by name, but there was still no response.
Mr.. De Fonblanque then, to touch some key
that might vibrate in her memory, called the
name of Mrs. Grimes. There was q relaxation
of the muscles, q softening of the lines of
the face, and something like vitality began
to show itself. The expression of the face
was for moment almost beatifc, and when
she was asked whether she wanted to go
home, from her pale lips, in musical, low
undertone, she uttered the words: ono;
don't take me where I'll be covered with
vermin. Don't!''
She relapsed into her former state, and
SO remained for some time, but after repeat
ed calls she revived. and when asked again
what was the matter, feebly responded:
CIVIL will always conquer" A deathly
palor then overspread her face and
she looked the picture Of death itself: but
she soon recovered enough to be led away.
The assistants at the asylum, when asked
about Sarah, said that when her father had
taken her away she was as healthy looking
girl as could be seen. She was fat and hearty,
and could converse nationally on any subject.
So kindly were her feelings toward the
keepers and mates of the asylum
it was her habit every Sunday to visit there
and bring fruit and cakes to her late unfor
tunate companions. She repeated these visits
frequently, and seemed to enjoy the delight
of the unfortunates at her presents.
Capt. Monnier stated that she was perfect
ly rational during these visits, and he thought
she would never again become an inmate of
the institution.

That Bleodless Duel.

The New York Times prints the true
story of the Bennett-May duel, given on the
authority of George Wilkes, editor of the
Spirit Of the Times, who received it direct
from DR.. Phelps, the surgeon on the occas
ion. The story is entirely creditable to Ben
net. DR.. Phelps says it was plain on the
morning of the affair that Bennett was there
to tight. Both parties had their own pistols.
Benefits were new, with all tho latest inn
provements. NAYS were very old,
and, as it turned out, hard upon
the trigger. The one that
Bennett got was SO, at least. The party
took their places, and the word was given to
fire. The directions were to fire at the word
"Firev' and not after the word s'Three!''
Almost instantly upon the word s'Fire!''
May shot. "One, two, three, = followed, and
Bennett, who pulled at his trigger evidently
coed in getting his weapon off. He was
bafled BY the stiffness of the lock. It was
an exciting moment. No one who
looked at his eye as it bore
straight across the angry wound
which his opponent had inflicted upon his
face few days before could doubt what
Bennett then meant to do, but the pistol ex-
hausted the zone, two, three by its reluc-
lance, and dropped harmlessly by his side.
His second interposed, and claimed that. as
Bennett had suffered his risk and disadvan-
tage, through no fault of his own, he was
entitled to return shot at May. The claim,
being according to rule, was allowed, and
May took his place empty handed before
Bennett's pistol. The disk of the ayenging
weapon covered him as the word was given,
but BENEFITS face changed as he saw his
opponent at his mercy, and. before the signal
words were counted out, he had forgiven
him and fired in the air. This terminated
the proceedings. AS the party left the ground
Bennett said to the surgeon: "Well, doctor,
do you think did right?'' 81 should have
been very sorry to have killed any
man at my mercy was the answer.
@But, = glancing at the shining fresh
scar across Benefits nose, he added
"But with such q pistol hand as yours,
should have been terribly tempted to wing
him." CAT any rate 2 said Mr.. Wilkes,
chs conduct was generous. and his oppo-
nents should have been glad to take any
responsibility of prosecution, if that is what
governed them, to save him from being de-
famed and branded as coward. The gift
of life was worth certainly as much as
that It may be added that Bennett still
wears the red mark left by the scar on his
nose.

cate from without with friends of the un-
happy pupils, it transpires that there are not
q few orphan girls placed in Mrs. Pate's care,
and others whose parents are abroad. These
have all paid the full fee in advance. A
colonel in Ireland paid % guineas with one
young lady who was q severe sufferer by the
treatment. Upon another parent going to
demand the fees and the linen of his
daughter last week March 23), he learned
that day or two before the principal
had coolly informed her pupils one
morning that the bailiffs were in the
house, and that they must collect their
things and get out. They gladly did SO,
most of them without money; and that day
the railway station was crowded with care,
worn young ladies, who were assisted by
villagers and tradesfolk to pay their fares
home. One OF two fnendless orphans were
taken In charity by residents of the neigh
borhood. The furniture of the "college''
was hired from London firm, and not stick
remained to pay petty debts for bread and
milk and servants wages. The gentleman
paid ten guineas, with his daughter, Ae1
days prior to the crash. On returning to the
station he heard enough to make him 20 back
and demand his child and his money.
Only ten sovereigns could be mustered, the
rest having been quickly spent; but his es-
cape was cheap at the price. A joint reward
is offered to any one who will give informa-
ton that will lead to the apprehension of
Mrs. Pate and her husband, who played
subordinate, but astute part in the swindle.
Comments may be left to the reader; but
the disclosure of s'atrocites' of this kin
in charming spot, bordering upon the
greatest city in the civilized world, ought to
arouse t attention Of the public, and move
them to take measures by which the bare
possibility of the recurrence of such an out
rage shall be prevented.

Two Cities.

Side by side rose the two great cites,
Afar on the travellers sight;
One. black with the dust of labor,
One, solemnly still and white.
Apart and yet together,
They are reached in dying breath,
! But river flowers between them,
And the rivers name is Death,
Apart, and yet together,
Together and yet apart, sr,7
AS the child may die at midnight
On the mothers living heart.
So close come the two greater cities,
With only the river between; fs...
And the grass in the one is trampled,
But the grass in the.other is green.
The hills with uncovered foreheads
Like the disciples meet,
While ever the flowing water
Is washing their hallowed feet, q
And out on the CLASSY ocean
The sails in the golden gloom
Seem to me hut moving shadows 4a
OF the white enmarblcd tomb.
Anon, from the hut and the palace,
Anon, from early till late. ST.
They come, rich and poor together,
Asking aims at thy beautiful gate.
And never had life guerdon
SO welcome to all to give.
In the land where the living are dying, :,
AS the land where the dead may live
oh, silent city of refuge
On the way to the city o'erhead!
The CLEAN of thy marble milestones
Tells the distance we are from the dead
Full of feet, but city untrodden,
Flu Of hands, but city unbuilt,
Full of strangers who know not even e
That their life-cup lies there spiet.
They know not tEeSstomb from the palace
They dream not they ever had died;
God be thanked they never will knew it
Till they live on the other side! 81
From the doors that death shut coldly
On the face Of their last lone woe,
They came to thy glades for shelter
Who had nowhere else to go.
