Resoyved, That the honor and
glory of the Republic, its con-
tinued peace, prosperity and
progress will be best served by
the perpetuation and continued
success of the Republican party.
We declare our fidelity to its
principles as expressed in the
Chicago platform of 1880, and as
further embodied in its great
history from its organization to
the present time.
ResOlred, That in the tragic
death of President Garfield our
country has suffered deplorable
loss, and the Republican party
mourns for one who consecrated
a noble and heroic life to the
vindication of its great purposes.
Resolred, That we have faith
in the prudent and sagacious
administration of President
Arthur and believe it will result
in promoting the best interests
of the country.
ResOlred, That the presence
in our midst of a servile race of
aliens, incapable of assimilating
with our institutions is. per-
petual menace to all classes of
society. The relief extended
to our people by the passage Of
a law excluding the Chinese by
a Republican Congress and ap-
proved by a Republican Presi-
dent is a genuine cause of salts
faction. We are in favor of
strenuously enforcing the pro-
visions of said law, and We
pledge the Republican party to
labor now and henceferth to
secure such further legislation
as will permanently exclude the
Chinese.
Resolved, That we recognize
the paramount importance of
maintaining unimpaired the
free public school system of the
State. We shall defend it against
sectarian, political or other i'm
proper influences, and we favor
such additional legislation as the
condition and wants of the COM
mon schools of the State may
require. As free institutions
they should be so conducted as
to satisfy poor and rich alike,
and upon this principle we urge
the adoption of some system by
which this State shall furnish
the text books at the lowest pos
sible figure.
Resolved, That owing to the
remote position of Nevada from
the seaboard and the entire alb
sence of navigable waters and
competing lines Of railroads to
and from commercial centers,
we demand from Congress such
wholesome and effective legis-
lation as will place our people on

yention.
Resolrcd, That this Convention
pledges its nominees to rigid
enconoMy in the administra-
ton of county affairs, in the in
terest of the taxpayers and
business men of Ormsby county.
Resolved, That the suspicious
attitude of the Democracy upon
the question of public schools
meets with the hearty disap-
prevail of all people, irrespective
Of party, who are interested in
popular education.
Resolved, That the nominees
Of this Convention on the Legis-
lative ticket be pledged against
the form of railroad extortion
practiced by the Central Pacific
Railroad Company known as
s'back freight" by which certain
freight landed in Reno is
charged for as if it was carried
TO Sacramento and return,
thereby discriminating against
Nevada and its business.
~ ResOtred, That we favor the
passage of a bill by which a
State Board of Equalization
may be provided for the pur-
pose Of equalizing taxation
upon all property within the
State. The duties TO be per-
formed without compensation
BY such State officers as the Leg
stature shall designate.

be promoted.
Resotred, That the appropri-
alton by a Republican Congress
for the payment Of pensions to |
invalid Union soldiers and to |
the veterans of the Mexican war |
is the discharge of debt of
honor and lava generous re-
of our country's de-

The Reeor,, of fDe Long,s Retreat.

The record of Captain De Long and the additional details relating to his re- treat up the banks of the Lena, are in
 some degree reassuring. When Cap tain De Long, on October 1, wrote the
 record just published all his party. with
 the said eNceptIan of Hans Eriksen,
 those death ras subsequently reported,
 were well, and though the party had On-
 ly two days provisions the commander
 said. "having been fortunate enough
 thus far to get game in our pressing
 needs we have no fear for the future"
 The cold weather had not then set in
 and the river was not previously frozen,
 SO that the party were in condition to make considerable progress toward some
 place of safety before the severe trials
 of winter commenced. The difficulties
 of obtaining food were no doubt increas-
 ing daily as they advanced up the west
 bank of the Lena. The vital question
 therefore is, Could the party hold out
 on the retreat sOuthward till they could reach some inhabited spot where food
 and shelter could be had2 Besides the
 village of Bulun, about seventy miles
 from the point at which De Longs re- cord of October l was apparently depOs-
 itcd (the latitude and longitude are not
 given on the recordL there are higher
 up the Lena, within 40 and 1S0 miles of Bulun, respectively, two other villages laid down on Wrangelfs map. and a third laid down on more recent maps about 50 miles from Bulun. Had the
 party been reported sick and exhausted on October l 1t might have been con- cludei that they could not possibly make the journey necessary to reach either of . Np..A NN A that date, and winter had not set in with any intensity, they no doubt, after the death of their cOmrade Eriksen on Oc- tober ', pushed forward in hope of reach- ing the nearest place of human habita- tOn. It k possible. as the tundra IS generally devoid of game, that the ex- pectation Oftinding a sufficient food sup ply which De Long lndulged at the out ! set of his overland retreat proved too | sanguine. and if SO the party must have ! suffered severely before reaching any of l the villages referred to. But their sit l uation does not seem to have been one necessitating fatal results The chief | ground for apprehension was that they | would succumb before search parties | could be organized and could convey | succOr and sustenenCe to the wearied ex- plOrers SO bravely struggling against l manifold misfortune. But Lieutenant | Danenhower's reports gives assurance4 that a large force has been vigor- ously prosecuting relief measures and | that their efforts have been inteli- gently directed to the definite To- eality whither De Long and his companions had been traced. There are, therefore. reasons to hope that, un- der the jealous and efficient search ef- forts of the Russians, the missing Jean- nette explorers, with their commander, have ere this been found and relieved and that we shall before long have more certain and detailed tidings from them New York Herald.

TIE Atlantic lS Pacific railroad has received princely endowment from the government, it being grant Of all odd numbered sections of land for a distance of fifty miles on each side of the road These lands embrace some of the finest grazing, agricultural and timber DOT tions of New Mexico and Arizona. and will furnish comfortable homes for a large number of families.

Williamson, late Commissioner of the General Land Office at Washington. who has established his office at New Al buquerque, New Mexico, in order to give prompt and accurate information to set tsers aHd to extend a personal supervis- ion over the land affairs Of the company. During his official career in the General Land Office, Gen. Williamson won the esteem and respect Of every person hay ing business before the department, and his rulings were always marked by spirit of fairness and justice, and if they ;frred at all, it was in favor of the poor q: md struggling settler or prospector. fhe1A Atlantic & Pacific company were extremely fortunate in securing for their land department the experienced servi- ces of gentleman enjoying the conf dence and respect of the entire Ameri- can people.

ASSESSMENT WORK.

The Boston Economist, ID answering a question as to what laws miners have the privilege of making for themselves, the Commissioner of the General Land Office says; "In reply to your oommuni- cation, have to state that the United States mining laws provide, that the lc- -s&tof Of lode or mining clam must make the annual expenditures necessary for the maintenance of the possessory title al any time within one year from the Ist of January next succeeding to the date of location, and the miners of a mining district have no authority to make any rules conflicting uith this law. If the mining laws of your Distric re- quire that S5o shall be expended within Co days after the location, such proyis- lon IS wholly without force. Suppose a location to have been made July [, 1880, lhe SIoo worth of expenditure IS required by the United States laws to be made between the Ist of January, 1881, and the 5Ist of December, 1881, and the expendi- lures made puor to this period, viz: =s5lsI1n 66 days after location, would not be Tn conformity with the provisions of this law.

Texas Cattle Conreniion.

X great convention of the stock men Of Texas will be held al Austin on the
 I4ih Of February, The benefit that will accrue 70 stock men from this con- ventien IS incalculable. The mere fact of getting acquainted with each other will be of benefit to one and all in the future. Resolutions recommending changes and amendments in the stock laws, will be adopted, and will have great weight m moulding future legis- lauon on matters pertaining to the stock men, and the oldest men in the busi- ness will doubtless learn something from Ihe exchange of ideSs. The con- vention IS not to be confined to cattle men; sheepmen and horse raisers are taking part in the movement that promise to bring together as large gathering as ever met in convention in Texas. The stock raisers of New Mexico should have such a convention at least once a year.. lt would result in much good tO the stock interests of the oountry.-l Albuquerque Journal

THERE seems 10 be a general demand throughout Arizona for the assignment of another Federal Justice to this Ter ri,ory. The districts as at present formed cover too large an area, and the gradual increase of litigation makes 1t necessary that a fourth Justice be appointed. The arduous duties of a Judge in this Terri tory may be seen from the cares weigh ing upon the shoulders of Chief Justice (. C. w. French. He not only attends 10 the Court business of Navapai county. which is steadily and rapidly increasing. but he has 10 open court in Mohave county, on the extreme west borders of Arizona, and also in Apache cosnty on the extreme eastern border In addition to this he presides al the several sessions of the Supreme Court durng each year, m Prescott, Phenix and Tucson. Such a weight of responsibility IS too much for even a man Of Judge French's acknou-- iedged ability to carry. and the burdens of each of our oyerworl,ed Justices should be lightened by the appointment of another Federal Judge.

RELIEF FOR ARIZONA


 A dispatch received today from Was
 shington states that yesterday the
 President in a special message to Con- gress, transmitted a communication from
 Secretary Kirkwood enclosing letters
 from Acting Governor Gosper of Arizona in relation 10 lawlessness in that Terri tory. The President calls attention to a
 recommendation m his annual message
 that the posse comitatus act be amended
 10 permit the use of the military in
 assisting civil authorities in that Terri tory to maintain order, and suggests again that such legislation seems re- quired- h hiscommunication, Secretary
 KTkwood states that in New Mexico and Arizona, the difficulty in the way of Tepressing lawlessness arises from the tact that sheriffs are intimidated, or that from personal motives they desire to curry favor with the disorderly element
 of society IL is therefore suggested whether it would not be eNpedient and proper that authority should be con lerred by law upon the governor Of any Territory to remove or suspend any sheriff for neglect of duty and appoint another in his place In letter dated Io,h of December, Acting Governor Gosper of Arizona, urges the repeal of the posse comitatus act as the best means of giving that Territory relief from the reckless rule now clrsing the peace and liberty of the otherwise favored portions of the Territory. In another letter, detailing the cause of the. lawlessness, Governor Gosper say the people of Tombstone and of Cochise county, in thelr mad career after money, have grossly neglected the local self government until their lazy and lawless element of society have undertaken toprey upon the more industrial and honorable classes for their subsistence and gains. The cowboys are not always white; some are MeNcans, but Americans direct and control the lawless element. The Acting Governor estimates the whole number of cowboys, which term he says, incluoes skilled cattle thieves and highway robbers, in the county of Cochise where most of the troubles have oocurredl at from twenty-five 10 fifty. Other bands are scattered over 1 the Territory. Besides cowboys there is ! a class, much larger in number, Of the l !" good Lord ard good Devl kind, who ! keep up a secret partnership with the robbers and profit by their lawlessness.
 The Committee on Territories of the Senate have decided to act promptly They will, probably within a few days, report a bill to modify the posse comita- tus act SO as to allow the military 10 be employed 10 assist the civil officers in Territories and border States in en- forcing law and maintaining order. The indications are that the Democrats viii oppose any modification Of the posse -omitat1s act and take the position that -ivil officers should be increased where awlesncss prevails to 2 sufficient nlmber O put i, down.
