The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1882-11-09

Attorney-General Blair. of Virginia,
has given an opinion that the convic-
tion Of negro Of felony while slave
does not deprive him now of the right
to vote. When slave, the Attorney
General says, the negro had no citizen
ship and, OF course, had no franchise or
rights to lose; by the fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments to the Constitu-
ton, which make no exceptions, he has
been habiitated with the elective fran
chise and all the rights Of citizenship.

THE STATE ELECTION.

Returns from the State election show
that Adams is elected Governor, Cas-
sidy is elected to Congress, and Merrill
is elected Attorney General, beyond
doubt, by handsome majorities. Ad-
ans carried the Republican stronghold
of Ormsby county, where he resides,
by twelve majority, and Cassidy car
ried Eureka, his home county, by three
hundred and fifty majority. The other
candidates for State offices on the DEM
ocratic ticket run behind those named,
and the chances are against the election
of some of them. Leonard runs ahead
of bis ticket in many parts of the State,
and the chances Of election are in his
favor. As there are many precincts
yet to hear from in various parts OF the
State, the majorities for the several
candidates are not known, and can not
be estimated with any degree of GER
tainty, as voters used their pencils
quite freely on election day. The ma
jorities received by Cassidy, Adams
and Merrill, in the counties heard from,
place their election beyond doubt.

The Ute Indian young bucks in Colo
RADIO threaten to go on the warpath and
scalp every male settler living on the
Dolores River. The settlers are great
iy Alarmed, and say that unless the
Government takes the matter in hand
bloodshed will surely ensue. Captain
Flagler states that on Monday last, at
Bors' store, on the Marcos, where the
Indians are congregated, white man
became so enraged at the threats of the
Indians that he pulled Mariana, the
Indian chief, from bis horse, dragged
him by the hair OF the head and beat
him, and had it not been for the inter-
ference of the bystanders Mariana
would have been killed. Captain Flag
Ter also says that Bill Williams, a
ranchman on the Dolores, has been no.
titled by friendly Indians that he had
better leave his ranch, as the young
bucks were on the warpath. Williams
carried the news to all the settlers, and
they left their ranches and made camp
together at Johnson's store.

TELEGRAPnIC ITEMS.

Postmaster General Howe will ia hi
forthcoming report urge upon Congress
the necessity for the Government en-
tering in the domain of postal tele-
graphy. He says it is the business
Of the Postoffice Department to facili-
tate prompt aud rapid intercourse be.
tween the people. 1--WE have" says
the Postmaster. General, lat present
monopoly, in fact, an indisputable one,
OF all the slow methods for transmitting
letters. while corporations enjoy the
exclusive privilege of sending by the
rapid system messages and business
communications. In my opinion the
Postoffice Department ought to be
equipped with every facility for postal
telegraphy. The Government can do it
cheaper than companies and certainly
with the same promptness.
The Departments at Washington are
practically in the hands of the female
clerks, and very large amount OF ex-
ira labor has been thrown upon the few
chiefs of divisions who remain in the
city. Chief Clerk Webster, of the
Treasury, said he had 5000 letters to
Sign for a chief who had gone, and al
most every one Of them was written by
female clerks. The outgoing trains on
Saturday and Monday were crowded
with clerks. The Saturday night train
was one Of the largest that ever left the
city. Nearly all the passengers were
clerks going to Indiana and Illinois to
vote. Nearly all the New York and
Pennsylvania clerks left for their re-
spective homes.
A dispatch from San Francisco says:
A collation. of returns shows that the
Democrats have carried the State by a
handsome majority-probably 10000.
They have elected all the Congressmen
The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1882-11-09

except in the Second District, where
Page is probably successful. Although
tbs contest was close and they have
made clean sweep Of the San Fran
cisco municipal ticket, with the proba-
BILE exception of Mayor, figures vary on
the majority, and it is not certain who
is ahead at present. Legislative re-
turns are rneager, but probably the
Democrats have working majority in
both Houses. The Prohibition ticket
cut no figure.
A fire broke out Tuesday night in the
Eastern and Provincial Poor Asylum at
Halifax, an immense six-story brick
structure, containing over four hundred
people. AT 80 all the building was a
mass of fanes. The fire originated in
the bakery, where twenty one cords of
wood were stored. The flames spread
with lightning speed and soon envel-
oped that part of the building used as a
hospital. The inmates rushed about
the building seemingly bereft of their
senses. The work OF getting them out
was very difficult. 1t is thought most
of them were saved, but it is feared a
number of lives were lost.
Mrs. Langtry's performance is pro-
nounced successful, and her beauty un-
questioned by all critics. Her talent,
however, is quite another matter. The
New York Times says: Mrs Langtry's
performance of 'Hester" must be con-
sidered as very weak, vague and un-
satisfactory effort. 1t reveals no talent
in the actress. 1t is cold, hard and
dull Any tolerably respectable actress
could present their part with more
clearness and force. If Mrs. Langtry
continues to hold fast to her popularity
here her good fortune will not be due
certainly to her strength in art.
Lewis Coleman, senior member OF the
firm OF Lewis Coleman & Co., Boston,
retires from the firm, having Endorsed
the paper of his son-in-law Hall to the
extent of $4,000, which has gone to
protest. Coleman's total liabilities are
$3.50, 600, and have rendered it neces-
sary for him to desolve his relations
with the firm. The firm continues I'M
der the old name.

Page, 2,947; Budd. 2,977.
Partial returns from about half the
precincts in San Francisco show that
the contest is close for Mayor, Sheriff
and Superintendent of Streets, with
chances slightly in favor of the Repub-
hcans.
CIeveland's majority in New York is
estimated at $4,000 over Folger for
Governor.
Indiana returns show that the State |
has gone Democratic.
