Mail Facilities Threatened.
Ward Refer. Eel. 26th.


The following. which we take from
the Sentinel Of the Gath, will DO anything
but welcome news to residents Of east.
ern and southern Nevada: A good deal
has bsen said concerning the star I"
mail routes, and the deficiency asked to
be voted by Congress BY the Postmaster
General, bat IL IL not generally known
that eastern and southern Nevada will
be affected. The Postofice Department
has asked for 90. 600. 900 and the House
Committee have agreed to appropriate
5000, 900. Should no moro than this be
voted, IL will cut down the mails going
south from Eureka by stages, from daily
to weekly, and Il 10 doubtful II any
contractor will banker after the Job"
Should all this come TO pass, there will
not DO cuss words enough in existence
to even family express the feelings Of
this section toward . bullst-hsaded Con.
gress. A petition would do but little II
any good, but We suggest that one be
inflicted On Congressman Daegett from
eastern and southern Nevada.

Kesrnsy has wisely concluded to defer
building that gallows on the sand lot at
San Francisco until further notice. Last
Sunday he coolly informed his audience
that the collection which was taken up
for the purpose On the previous Sunday,
amounting to $50 dollars. had been
divided between himself and the Secrs-
tary, and asked them to DO q little more
liberal with their contributions on the
present occasion. Yet he made no
sllusion to the gallows business at all.

unusually mild and subdusd. and II was
evident that q change had come Ger his
psrturbsd spirit. He even counssled
his hearers to DO very peaceful. orderly
and discreet and to do nothing to bring
about any conflict with the authorities.

been limited to him that the old vigi'

and that his proposed gallows when
erected might DO used in . way no would

too recent and fresh In his memory

A NOBLE PICTURE,

Mast has a magnificent double page
cartoon in the latest number of Har-
per's Weekly, the spirit aud sentiment
Of which will find an echo in the
hearts Of thousands Of just and true
men whose convictions caused them
to vote against the distinguished Dem
ocratic candidate for President last
week. The picture represents Gen.
Hancock sitting before Il tlaziug wood
fire in the seclusion OF his private
office; his attitude is detected, and
with Bonded head and downcast mien
lie gazes into the cmbers; his right
hand lies upon his knee, listlessly
clasping a slip Of paper displaying
the significant word returns" The
familiar shade Of Columbia has ap-
preached unseen, and, standing be-
hind the Generals chair, she has laid
a band upon his shoulder and said,
"No change is necessary, General
Hancock; We are too well satisfied
with your brave record as a Union
soldier"

FOR HANCOCK AND ENGLISH.

CalIOTDln appears III DOtn columns,
for the reason that latest returns from
that State indicate the election Of one
Republican and five Democratic Elec.
tors. Judge Terry, one of the Demo
cratic candidates, was scratched by
several hundred voters on account Of
his obnoxious attitude on some local
question, and Republican profits by
his uupopularity. The majority
claimed for the other Democrats is
only about $50 votes, and this is dis
puted By the Republicans. It will
probably require an official tabulation
of the returns to definitely settle the
question. The Republicans have Sc
cured the Legislature by majority
Of twelve on joint ballot, however,
and will elect a Senator to succeed
Hon. Newton Booth.
While in most cases the majoritics
given in the above table represent the
excess Of the vote received by the
respective candidates over the COM
bined votes of all opponents, there
are some notable exceptions to the
rule. For instance: in Maine, Indi-
ana, New York and Ohio several
thousand Gleenhack and Prohibition
votes were polled which, if taken into
account in computing the ma orities,
| would reduce the total Of the Garfield
| and Arthur column to the extent of
| their aggregate. The Hancock and
English column would suffer more Sc
riously still by deducting the Green
back vote of Alabama, Georgia, Mis-
souri,, Texas and other States from
tho majorities above accredited. u
Missouri alone the Greenbackers
polled over 10000 ballots. III Lou
isiaDa the Republicans had two cleo
toral tickets, and Hancock's plurality
over the one receiving the highest
vote will probably reach 10000,
though his majority over both is less
than 10000. On the other hand, a
similar division occurred among the
Democrats in Virginia, and while the
combined vote Tor the Democratic
electoral tickets exceeded that of the
opposition by 81, 900, the plurality OF
the leading ticket over the Republic
an Electors was only $4,000.
What we have desired to show il,
our table is the relative strength ol
Garfield and Hancock, without taking
into consideration the minor candi
dates, whose vote is comparatively
insignificant.
| The total vote cast in the United
States at the recent election is est
mated at 9,25O,OOO. Assuming that
the Greenback and Prohibition
strength would have been equally d.
vided between Garfield and Hancock
had Weaver and Neal Dow not beer
running, the division Of the popular
vote would be about as follows:
Garfield and Arthur, 4, $50 AIS
Hancock and English, -.....- A $40 ,5Sl
Republican majority, 90, sS3s

Spring Mattresses at 50 Per
Cent. Reduction.

TTHE best, healthiest and most comforta-
IL blesthing for the human body to rest
upon is a SPRING MATTRESS. 1t is su-
perior to all new inventions i looks better,
wears better and is less trouble than any
other; the bed is always "made.' giving
the housekeeper no work except the spread
ing Of the cover.
These mattresses have not been more gen
orally used heretofore because of their high
price, which was due to the fact that special
measurement was required for each bed,
and they could not be made and placed on
the market in large quantities.
To overcome this impeachment the under
signed has established Spring Mattress
Factory at Donaldsonville, is canvassing
for orders and taking measurements, and
will furnish mattresses formerly costing
$50 to $50 at reduction of over fifty per
ccnt-say from 81 9 to $40. according to
size of mattress and quality of ticking, No
payment required until mattress is deliv-
cred and full satisfaction given.
Orders by mail promptly attended to. In
measuring bedstead give precise length and
width inside across the centre. Necessary
deductions to allow room for bed-clothlng
will he made at the factory.
