Feb. IL, 1881.
WHEREAS, Divers and sundry refractory
and evil disposed persons have seen fit to
ignore my last Royal decree; and
WHEREAS some Of my late most loyal
subjects have committed such overt acts as
to make themselves guilty Of the ignomin-
ious crime of high treason ; and
WHEREAS The condition of my people is
becoming rapidly demoralized, their liber-
ties jeopardized, their vision obscured and
their intellect blunted and partially de-
throned, 1 find a duty which / reluctantly
am compelled to perform, to bring order
out of chaos and prosperity out of ruin,
and therefore issue this general order for
the observance and guidance OF the people
at large.
First-No person shall speak, write, in
any manner discuss, or discuss up one
side and down the other or at, all, anything
Of, concerning, or in any wise appertaining
lating this injunction shall be deemed,
and he is hereby declared, an outlaw, and
shall be punished accordingly, without the
" benefit of the clergy"
Second-Belieying that the sword is
mightier than the pen, 1t is further ordered
that "Anti-Subsidy" at once take the field
before the "Ides Of March," as there is
plenty of time to crush the enemy in Feb
ruary. He will hold the rank Of Brigadier
mot Southern) General at will, and report
for duty Immediately to Captain Hubbard,
who is hereby promoted to the rank Of
Generalissimo. General Hubbard will at
once proceed by way Of Pinto Station and
Hamilton and occupy Hercules Gap, with
sufficient force to hold it at all hazards,
and in the meantime General Anti-Sub
will make a feint movement via Fort
Ruby, as if to threaten Egan Canyon and
Cherry Greek, to attract the enemy's at
tention in that direction. General Hub
bard will take with him the Austin
gun" but no heavy ordnance is necessary
in the Egan Canyon expedition, as General
Anti-Sub is q big gun himself. 1t
is extremely desirable that the best
order and discipline be maintained,
and the moral of the troops be preserved.
l would especially call the attention of
all officers and men to be vigilant and
active to the end, that Baker and Rives be-
captured-and to effect this Gen. Anti flor
short will detail a squad of cavalry to
take possession Of Humboldt Well, destroy
the G. P. Railroad and intercept the Cherry
Creek stage. John Henry King will com
mand this expedition, and he will imme-
diately confiscate Foley's horse and start
for the front via Railroad Canyon. And it
is further ordered, that when the aforesaid
Baker and Rives are captured, that they
at once be court-marshaled and hung as
spies and their bodies turned over to the
'Infirmary" for dissection; the professors
of that institution will accurately weigh
and carefully analyze the brains of these
subjects, 30 as to satisfy Anti-Subsidy as
to whether they contain any law" For
this valuable acquisition for the promul-
CATION Of science to that institution the
officers will Immediately levy In assess
to pay for Rives' horse that breathed
his last at dead Horse Wells" the
money to be placed in the hands of DR..
Herrick for the relief of the City of Ham
ilton or to move the Courthouse to Cherry
Greek, as he may see fit.
As the civil and political business per-
to all branches of the Government
is under my control and supervision, l
deem it necessary to give some general di-
r~ections in regard thereto. Mr.. Wallace
will retire from political life after the pres
emit terms of his offices expire, and he will
take up mining for a livelihood, as | see
be is designated in the Senate chart. A
years of healthy exercise in the noun
tains would make the cities more healthy
in political affairs, and at the same time
give him an opportunity for reflection and
study of the best means to "harmonize the
elements by meddling with other peoples
business.
Hobart, too, needs a political %'rest," so
that he can find out to what county he
really belongs, as it is now uncertain. l
learn the people of Eureka County would
willingly spare him from there. If Wren
Jones and takes a seat alongside
Of Conkling and Sprague, he might take
Hobart along for a satellite or parasite
either would fill the bill. The crowd Of
self-assumed leaders is a cancer gnawing at
the very vitals Of the body polite. The
they are banished or made to take
a back seat the better for all concerned.
Even the petty Office Of a Notary Public
does not escape their ferret-like eyes, nor
their effort to take without cause the Office
from as worthy a Republican as ever cast a
ballot. 1t is with the utmost disdain that
I contemplate the iniquity Of their base de-
AT the same time. it is with pleasure and
pride that I behold such an upright and
unselfsh leader as Colonel Bishop "a man
of heart and brains, unwilling to stoop to
ring politics and too honest to carry two
faces on one head. He is now the &C.
knowledged leader OF the Republican party
in the State, from which position neither
''the elements" nor the ring can disturb
him. I name him for the next Governor
Of Nevada after the present honored in
~retires. The spirits around me
echo "Selah 70 NORTON l,
