Appropriate Resolutions.

1t is rumored that the following preamble
and resolutions were submitted to the COM
mittee on resolutions of the Greenback con-
vention recently held in this city, but were
suppressed on the ground that while they
correctly reflected the sentiments of the Green
back leaders, they might cause alarm among
the honest rank and file:
Whereas the success of the Greenback party
is largely dependant upon the prevalence of
hard times and poor crops; and whereas we
recognize in every thing which conduces to the
production OF these an agent in the illustration
ofthe evils of John Sherman's resumption poll
cy; and whereas we believe the more poverty
that prevails the better if it only makes more
Greenbackers, therefore
Resolved, That we hail with JOY the advent
of the potato bug and see in the reports of its
ravages the harbnger of a Greenback victory.
ResolUed, That will discourage the killing
of this Greenback ally and will do everything
in our power to foster and encourage it in its
depredations.
Resolved, That Paris Green is one of our
worst enemies and as such we protest against
its manufacture and use.
Resolved, That the recent severe frost has
largely increased the Greenback strength in
this State and therefore we look forward with
hope to more cold snaps-the colder the
better.
ReeolUed That we will allow the circulation
in this State of no Almanac unless it predicts
killing frostS in every month of this summer
ReSot0ed, That the next anniversary of the
Declaration Of Independence be turned into a
day OF fasting and prayer for the continuance
OF hard times, as the greatest boon that can
fall to the lot OF the National Greenback party.

His Conservation to the Priesthood.


His Conservation to the Priesthood.
Yesterday Bishop Healey, of the Roman

shire, celebrated the 25th anniversary of his
conservation to the priesthood. Pontifcal
High Mass was celebrated at the Catholic Ca
thedral at 11.30 a. M The Bishop was cele-
brant, Rev. Father Bradley master of cere-
monies, Rev. Father Mcdonald of Manches-
ter assistant priest, Rev. Fathers Daniel Muir
ply, Augusta, and Hevy of Lewiston, deacons
of honor, Rev. Father Golden deacon, and
Rev. Father Linehan sub-deacon. There were
forty priests from different parts of the do
cese, who took part in the services.
There was very large congregation present
and Bishop Healey made an admirable address
after mass, on the duties of the priesthood. The
music under the direction of Mr. German, the
organist, was excellent.
In the afternoon the clergy were entertained
at the Bishops residence, and at p. m. at
tended concert given by the children of the
Catholic schools at Kavanagh Hall. The
stage was beautifully decorated and the chill
dren were dressed in excellent taste, and re-

THE FORTHCOMING FOURTH OF
JULY CELEBRATION.
THE

As the citizens of Carson have taken the in
itiative steps towards Fourth of July cele-
bration of unusual magnitude and grandeur,
it is desirable that the surrounding towns har-
moniously cooperate with us, instead of hav-
ing an insignificant celebration in half dozen
ditferentplaces respectively. Next year we will
forego celebrating the day here and act with the
town which first invites US, be it Virginia.
Gold Hill or Reno. In this manner we can
have one first class celebration each year
Now, as we are the first this year, to agita e
the question of befttingly observing the
Fourth of July, we trust the invited citizens
of other towns will ''stand in " and help Ms
to make the affair a success.

BILL HART AGAIN.-Yesterday afternoon
warrant was issued for the arrest of Bill Hart
for making threats against the life of Mabe
Lindsey. The complainant alleges that Har
visited her house on Tuesday night and yes
terdav, and on each occasion threatened to xii
her if she declined to live with him. Hart
is the same man who some months since was
convicted of making an indecent assault upon
a colOred man. He was sent to prison for a
| period of six months, but before the expira-
ton of his term he was pardoned by the
| County Commissioners, upon promising that
he would reform and lead better life. In his
case the old adage that it is impossible to
make silken purse out of a SOW S ear, holds
good. A being who beats a woman or threat
ems her life, be her social status what it may
cannot be punished too severely.
RETURNED.-Capt Sam, the Piute Chief
who left Virginia not long since, with the
avowed intention Of interviewing President
Hayes, has returned to his native heath. The
County Commissioners of Storey, in fit Of
generosity, furnished the ambitious Captain
with the necessary funds for his wardrobe,
which amounted to total of s. 10 He was
also provided with a most enticing letter of
introduction to the President, which was fur
nished by interested friends. But for some
unaccountable reason, he ''failed to connect,
and some Washoe Zephyr has waited him back
to Virginia, and the President will never
know the pleasure he might have experienced
in making the acquaintance of a real Nevada

to do so, he returned them to this

A SHOOTING FRACAS.
ONR MAN GETS BULLET IN HIS HEAD.

Early yesterday morning two brothers, Will
liam and John Glass; and the notorious Bill
Hart got into an alteration in a house of i'll
repute on Ormsby street Hart was making
himself excessively disagreeable and threat
ened to whip or kill female inmate of the
house, if she did not obey him. To this, it is
stated, the Cass boys objected got into scuf-
file with Hart, and showed him outon hestreet,
where William held him for a moment. Hart
said to him: '' don't want any trouble with
You but its that s. of b, standing in
the door, pointing at John Cass. Hart at
the same time placed his hand in the direction
of his H., pocket, as if to draw weapon. John
saw it, and in a moment he whipped out his
sixshooter and fred at Hart The noise pro-
duced by the wordy quarrel aroused the in
mates of the house adjoining, among
whom Nose Watkins. AS he emerged
from his premises, second shot
was fired, the ball passing through his hat
and producing very painful scalp wound,
1t could not be ascertained which Of the men
fired the last shot When Officer Ingraham
arrived on the spot all the men had gone but
John Cass, by whom he was told that Hart |
did the shooting, and his statement was cor
roborated by the female inmate of the house
where the trouble took place This was done
to get the officer off the scent, and, while he
was looking for Bill Hart, to give Cass
chance to escape, which he has so far success
;ully accomplished. The whole affair is a dirty
