There was a citizens meeting at the District
Court room last evening at O'Clock to make
arrangements for an Inaugural ball. to be
given some time next week. The meeting
was organized by electing r. r. Parkinson
chairman and Otto GREENWOOD secretary It
vas decided upon to nominate committee of
FIVE citizens tn carry out the project, 80 far

committees are concerned The following
named gentlemen were selected to act AZ such
committee: John T. Pantlind, E. j. Pa.kin
son, O. X. Stampley, J. Q. Moore and j. f
Dealy. A communication was read from j.
D. Moore, in which he rendered his hall for
the occasion of the Inaugural ball, free of

rnittee Of arrangements. The meeting then
adjourned.
DELAYED MAILS, The lightning train did
not arrive in this city until after 3 clock
yesterday afternoon. The detention was
caused by the blowing up Of locomotive No.

train while going from Truckee to the Sum
nit, which occurred at 2:15 o'clock yesterday
.fternoon Engineer Norton was instantly
killed, and Charles Hay was 50 badly sca!ded

FIRE IN CHINArowN. At about > o'clock |
last evening a fire broke out in the southern
part of Chinatown. At distance the smoke
and flames indicated large contiagration;
but it was only the destruction of Chinese
den of lnfamy and the partial destruction of
another of that class of habitations. If other
property were not jeopardized, il would be
blessing should all these Chinese dens be
swept away by one grand and glorious con,
Hagration. Loss on the above property is
trivial. No insurance. The property des-
sroyed belonged to DR.. All Kee, and the fire
was caused by sparks flying out OF one of the
ANAL open stoves, used in China houses, into
bed, while one of the female occupants of the
house was out gambling 1t is an act or re-
eital of simple justice to state that Warren
Company No got on the first water-two

ors. Indeed they did most admirable and
effective work.

Cash balance in treasury.


These figures, together with the auditors esti-
mates of receipts and expenditures, show the neces-
sty for cautious appropriations and the continued
need of retrenchment and economy in legislation.
which have been repea ed'y urged. It will lie seen
that the balance in the treasury at the close of the
year but S. '499.2, brlonging in small parcels
to ten diff erent funds and that tho general revenue
fund is overdrawn to the amount of S24, 46U.lO.
The auditor states that the outstanding warrants
against the revenue fund at the close OF the year,
together with drafts, make total floating debt
amount ng to 1922, OO1.3l, and that since the old
days of deprecated State warrants, the treasury has
not been in 30 depleted condition.
This is owing to the disbursements for seed grain
and other extraordinary purposes, amounting to
about S100,MW for the year, and to the nUn-recept
OF the expected income from convict labor which
was estimated at S5",0DU. From the auditors esti-
mates it appears that with careful management,
without any extraordinary expenditures, the receipts
OF the present year may be expected to current
expenses and pay off the floating debt, which will
square acc Mnts and bring nuances into sound
condition with the beginning OF another year, in
which event the receipts and disbursement for 1880
will leave probable surplus Of $uO,0OO. Every

BIENNIAL ELECTIONS.
The constitutional amendment providing for bien-
NAL IN lieu of annual sessions of tie legislature will
necessiate much adjustment of administrative ma
chlnery to correspond Herewith. In efecting this
great care will be required to include practical de-
tails of an essential nature pertaining to the several
branches of the government. The changes re-
quired and the examination necessarily given to the
subject, would seem to afford suitable opportunity
for the consideration of another question of i'm
porfance The extraordinary frequency of elections
mas long been deemed by rejecting men one OF the
ment. The differing duration of our State offices
requiring elections to fill some of them annually and
the different seasons in which township and munich
pal elections held leave Intervals SO short that
the public finds little repose from the distractions OF
political warfare. The deeterious effect of these
constant disturbances is manifest. They are unfav-
ness and to the dispassionate discussion of questions
concerning the common welfare. They increase the
aversion to political duty entertained by orderly aud
busy men through whose default bad men are elect
ed to office; while the expenses attending such FREE
quent elections entail a heavy annual burden upon
the people, In view of these evisI suggest the in
curry whether an obvious public interest would not
be subserved by providing for such amendments to
the laws and constitution wonld require biennial
elecnons only For this purpose it would be neces-
sary to cause our State elections to take nlaca tha
same year as that in which members of Congress- are
elected, which would conform to that in which mem
bers OF the legislature are bennialy chosen and
also to the year in which the Presidential election
alternately takes place. If the terms of the offices of
clerk OF the supreme court and Stale auditor were
lenghthened one year each, and the commencement
and termination of the several county offices made
uniformly to accord with those of State officers,
biennial fall elections only would be necessary
throughout the State, except for judicial officers,
whose election occurring at separate and irregular
periods would, in consequence, be properly further
removed from detrimental political influences. In
order TO free the matter from complications infu-
enced by the interests of those already in Office give
due notice to all seeking Office, and insure an i'm
partial application of the changes to all concerned
the proposed amendments might be made to take
effect at some convenient period in the future. I
deem the matter worthy of attentive examination.
