OLD@ vIRGINNY'S" DEATH AND
BURIAL.

The papers of the Pacific Coast
are beginning to follow the lead of
the TIMES IN discussing the death
and burial of "Old Virginny."
Charles II. Lincoln writes from
Santa Cruz to the San Francisco
Call as follows:
/ see some inquiries are being
made az to the death and burial OF
"Old Virginny," in Dayton, Ne.
vada. About the Goth OF April,
1861, I went on horseback from
Virginia City to Dayton. went to
an ola adobe hotel kept by
by q man named Tyler, at Dayton,
to get dinner, and tied my horse
outside. While at dinner "Old
virginny" united my horse, got on
him, and was thrown off before he
had ridden over 100 yards. He
died the next day from the injuries
received by being thrown from the
horse, and on the following day
was buried on the hill to the west
Of Dayton, south of the road AS it
then ran. could easily find the
spot.
The question having reached this
stage, 1t would not be difficult to
raise subscription to defray The ex-
pense of exhuming the remains CT
the old gentleman and giving them
decent burial in the Dayton ceme-
terry. There is no doubt as to the
place of his burial, but Mr.. Clag-
gett, brother ofex- Delegate Claggett,
of Montana, was buried beside him,
and few years ago Delegate Clag
gett had what he believed to be tbe
remains of his brother removed to
the grave yard on the bin. Since
then there has existed doubt as to
40 identity of the body near the
highway. This doubt could be cas-.
lily removed by exhuming the body
said to be "Old Viiginny's," as he
had iron gray hair while Claggett's
hair was red. About $3.50 would
cover the cost OF exhuming, re. in
terring, and placing neat marble
slab at the head of the new grave.
The times are somewhat out of joint
IN money matters, but $3.50 is not a
bonanza, and that small amount
could undoubtedly be raised if
proper person took charge of the col.
leeting of it. Who will move in this
matter?

Lyon Patients In the Storey COun-
ty Hospital.

A TIMES reporter visited the
Storey County Hospital last Sunday.
He found the most thorough order
and cleanliness throughout. The
rules prescribed by DR.. Bergstein,
the new physician, are deemed
somewhat strict, but, on reading
them, the reporter failed to discov
er any harsh or unreasonable one.
There are two Lyon county pa
tients in the Hospital, to wit: Frank
Albrecht, of Sutro, and old Mr..
Norton, of Dayton. The latter is
perfectly helpless. He cannot even
speak, and requires the constant
services of two attendants. Mr..
Albrecht speaks in terms of the
greatest commentator of Dr. Berg
seteln, and says that since that gen
tleman "cbanged the medicines"
given him by the former resident
physician, he his improved wonder
fully. Ills disease is lingering
one, however. and Will probably
retain him in the hospital for months
to come.

MA. HAMILTON, one of the
County Commissioners elected IN Es-
meralda county at the last election,
has refused to qualify. His residence
being in Mason Valley, he would be
compelled to travel eighty miles each
way, to and from Aurora, every time
the Board met, besides submitting to
the fault finding of the dishonest
and other croakers and to the many
other unpleasant consequences of
holding public office; while the pay
($33 SO per month-the same as in
Lyon County, would not even meet
the expenses Of his trip to the
county seat. Mr.. Hamilton was the
only Republican Commissioner cleo
ted in Esmeralds county last No
vember. As some of his fellow
ranchers worried him to qualify in
order "to protect the people," he
went off to California, where he still

Carlyle once asked an Edinburgh
student-who tells the story in the
Milwaukee Sentinel-what he was
studying for. The youth replied
that he had not quite made up his
mind. There was sudden light
ming flash Of the old Saotchman's
eve, a sudden pulling down OF the
shaggy eyebrows, and the stern face
grew sterner as he sad: THE man
without a purpose is like a ship
without rudder, a waif. Il nothing,
no man. Have a purpose in life,
if it is only to kill and divide and
sell oxen we'll, but have a purpose
and have it, throw such strength OF
mind and muscle only in your work
as God has given you"

THE salary law according

THE salary law according to
the provisions of which county Off
cials in this State are paid, is alleged
to be unconstitutional. The law has
scarcely been in operation two
months, yet the majority of counties
in this State are already embarrassed
financially because of it, and the
Others will doubtless soon be. A
case to test the constitutionality of
the law will soon be made up ard
submitted to the Supreme Court, and
that tribunal is expected to declare
many of its provisions to be absurd
and unconstitutional.

The Robertson Nomination.

According TO the New / ork papers, the talk
In Conkling circles there is decidedly Oelliger-
ent towards the administration because OF the
nomination OF Mr.. Robertson OF what they call
the ''half-breeds" TO the collectorship.
The threat is freely made that II the Pre5i-
dent does lot beat retreat from the nomlna-
ton there VIII be trouble ahead for the a1mini-
stration. The COnkling papers are already as
Stunning a hostile attitude 10 the White House.
Mr. Hugh Hastings says In his Commercial Ad-
rprfiSeI-. "The Robertson nomination IS regard
ed by every friend Of Senator ConkIing, and by
the general public, as direct snub and Insult to
him. and. not only that, but sin view OF the
fact that President Garfield invited MI. Conk-
ling to visit Mentor TO talk over the situation,
thus leading him 10 believe that he would be
consulted Il regard to New York matters, the
action OF yesterday must be construed
as violating good faith and as an
open defiance OF the Senator and
his friends" Again, THE nomination
of Robertson Is clear case OF huckStering.
His nomination Is not calculated TO harmon
lie the party. Better, far better, for Merritt
TO remain"
But it does not appear that the wrathfuI ones
have settled upon a plan OF campaign against
the White Gouse, and they are apparently a
little at loss how to set about it.

The recent census bulletin showing an ap-
parent rapid increase OF the eolored people, an
increase far In excess Of that of the whites has
given rise TO a discussion In some OF the states
containing large numbers Of colored people of
the subject OF the effect that this increase Will
nave In the future upon politics. The excess
OF increase Of the blacks annually adds to their
voting strength, and would eventually, so 1t is
argued, give them majority In many states In
which they are now In the minority. Among
the remedies suggested is the enactment by
states, Of the Massachusetts, law requiring that
the voter shall have paid poll tax, shall be
able to read the constitution OF the United
states IN the English language, and shall also
De able 10 write his name legibly. This law
applies 70 al colors and classes Of voters as 1t
must do under the constitutional amendments
Were 1t In force In every state IL would deprive
more or less whites Of the right to vot q but its
enactment in some OF the southern states
would cut off thousands OF blacks from the
franchise. This result, however would only
De temporary. This law would strike nearly
ali the ex Slaves, the Old generation who are
now passing away; It would take the ballot
from perhaps fifty per cent of those coioyei
people who were children when the war ended,
but IL would affect comparatively few OF the
now rising generation, as nearly all OF the
latter are being taught 10 read and write. at
least.
