THE wHIRLIGIG OF TINE.

The ms and outs of things very puzzle
me. at times. Now, for example, there is
tive recent municipal election in Virginia City.
Tl,e success of my old friend Judge Belknap
in his candidacy for the Office of Mayor would
,.,cm at first glance considering his family
,,,nnectionl, to indicate feeling of popular
tust in, and preference for, the father-n-law
fl Broadhorns. But Governor Bradley is
i,t>nporable from his own policy and the dis
,nctive acts of his own administration. His
EXcellency vetoed the so-called Bonanza Com
promise Bill This fact sets him fairly before
the people as an opponent of the interests and
pjt.posos of the Mackay and Fair copartner-
ship But in vetoing that measure, Governor
H.9lIlcy disrogarded Judge Belknaps argu-
meuts and pleadings in behalf of the bill. At
all events, if the history of the times be not
yrvorted, the gentleman who now occupies
she position of Mayor of Virginia City did
v,sit Carson with view to persuade the Gov
rrror to approve that bill. Ii this be true
thea is Judge Bclknaps election to be regard
"a IN the light of reputation rather than an
endorsement of the action of the Governor in
yrououncing that famous veto. Politics makes
sir,lge alterations as well as strange bedfel-
l,aShjps There come times when even the
Sues, exalted SONS law find themselves at
swords points with the most high and mighty
faith 3rs-in-aw as for example: Iquotc cur
