AN INTERESTING CASE.

The laws of Nevada, which were
framed on a very liberal scale for
cnchiDg the taxpayers, provide that
the State Controller, Secretary of State
aud Treasurer shall have deputies to do
the work in their respective offices,
while the principals do nothing. The
principals are allowed $1,000 per an
mum, and the deputies $4,000 each per
annum. The principals are also allowed
$1,000 every two years for extra cleri-
cal labor The Secretary of the State,
Jasper Babcock, appointed one Mr..
McFadden his deputy. McFadden
worked for some time in the office,
and then resigned or was discharged.
He alleges : that he was only al
lowed $50 per month for his services,
though, according to law, he was
entitled to $3.50 per month. AS
his salary was drawn regularly to
the full amount allowed by law, he
brought suit for the recovery Of the
difference of 500 per month, which he
alleges was pocketed by his principal
Secretary of State, Babcock. This case
is now being tried at Carson, but in
consequence of the objections raised by
counsel to the evidence, is progressing
slowly.

FOUR PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.

The New York Sun says it now seems
as certain as any future event car be,
that General Grant will be nominated
for President at Chicago. The Sun also
says, though the indications are less de-
cisive, that the probabilities point to
the nomination of Tilden at Cincinnati
In the event of Grant being nominated
at Chicago. and Tilden at Cincinnati,
the Sun thinks the anti third term Re-
publicans and anti-Tilden Democrats,
will nominate independents candidates,
making four candidates in the field for
President, unless the boilers from both
parties agree upon a candidate who
will be acceptable to both factions.
There is scarcely doubt of the occur
renee of what the Sun predicts if Grant
and Tilden are the nominees of their re-
spective parties, as there are many Re-
publicans who will not support Grant,
and the New York Tammanyites and
some other Democrats who will not
support Tilden.

were impossible, and thus had a sure
thing on attracting the travelling SIN
ners to- the prayer meetings. But the
business men travelling over the road
made a fuss and threatened to do their
travelling in buggies SO the godly rail-
readers, rather than lose the travel,
changed the timetables. They then
suspended Sunday trains, as their con-
sciences would not permit chem to run
trains on the holy Sabbath. After the
express company had presented them a
bill for fruit and fish damaged by lay
ing over on Sunday and the Postmas-
ters had refused to deliver seven
DAYS schedule mail for only six days In
the week, the Sunday trains were re-
sumed. Now they have filed up the
passenger cars with paIlor organs,
hymn books, bibles and prayer books,
and the Superintendent travels on
every train and gives out hymn and
the brakeman leads in prayer. At the
halfway station the majority of the
passengers get out and continue the
ioarney afoot.

The Comins-Hoyt libel suit, which
was set for trial at the April Term Of
the District Court in White Pine
county, has been compromised. Hoyt
charged in the Cherry Creek Independ-
ent that Comins, who was Senator
from White Pine, sold out to the rail-
roads. Comins procured the indict-
ment of Hoyt by White Pine Grand
Jury, without even the District AtEor-
ney knowing anything about it. The

and was continued until April next.

TELEGRAPRIC ITEMS.

St. Louis, Mo-, publish call for a
mass-meeting, setting forth that pro-
found interest is felt in the approaching
Presidential election, and that alarm is
felt at the purpose OF some friends TO
commit the Republican party to a dan
gerous third-term policy. The address
refers to the example Of Washington,
and the INDUCTION Of Jeffersm, and
warmly approves the resolutions Of the
State Convention of New York Penn
sylvania and Ohio in 1875, all OF which
opposed the third term, and the similar
action of Congress in December 1873.
Two colored delegates elected to the
Chicago Convention from Gollsboro,
North Carolina, are strong for John
Sherman. The Grant men are aston
ished, as the colored vote was counted
on as solid for Grant.

Says the San Francisco Stock Report:
There is little railroad in Nevada,
feeder of the Central Pacific, that is
run by church members, who endeavor
to make business and religion harmon
re. The road connects with the Cen
trail Pacific at Battle Mountain and
runs to the town of Austin, ninety
miles distant. Battle Mountain was at
one time the headquarters of a gang of
three-card monte sharps which infested
the Central Pacific Railroad, but is now
the boss gospel town of the Pacific
Coast. The parties who conduct the
little railroad have established a church
and Sunday-school at Battle Mountain,
and hold prayer meetings every night
in the week. In order that the passen-
gers over their road might have an
opportunity to seek salvation, they
arranged the timetables so that all
passengers would have to stop over at
night. Battle Mountain is lonesome
place, and the stranger within it's gates
would hunt a dog-fght or a prayer
meeting, whichever might present it.
