KNOWN BY THEIR WORKS.

There is good prospect that the bill
| filed by the State of Nevada against
Uncle Sam for s472 900, will be paid in
full. This amount is for money paid
by the State during the war of the Re
bellion. The searching of the records
for bills and vouchers has occupied the
State officials many months and their
work has been rewarded by the secur-
ing report from the Washington agent
that the amount claimed is correct.
Over ten thousand records, bills
and vouchers have been exam
ined to substantiate this claim and
such an amount placed in the State
Treasury will lower the rates of tax
alton. There claims have been lying
idle for years and accessible, yet no
Democratic official ever made the
slightest attempt to secure the sum for
the State Treasury. With this sum of
extra money in the Treasury the year
will begin auspiciousiy for Nevada, and
when the people reflect by whose in
strumentality it. was brought about it
will result in big minority for the Re-
publican ticket. ..

MISUNDEkSTO

A few days ago the APPEAL stated
that the Clerk of the Supreme Court, il
a dishonest man, could make the Office
the instrument of vast deal of mis-
chief This was construed by the
Sitter State to be charging by insinu-
alton that Mr.. Bicknell's opponent, Mr..
Hanm, was not an honest man. We
hope that the journal 2foresaid will cor
rect its false impression. The APPEAL
knows of nothing against Mr.. Hamm's
record for honesty. He is man very
highly spoken Of In calling attention
to Mr.. Bicknelrs record as Clerk we
simply pointed out the fact that al
though there were numheress oppor-
tunities by which Clerk could if dis
posed favor this or that litigant, during
period of eight years of active service
Mr. Bicknell had so managed the office
that there had not been a complaint
from single person who durino that
time had been brought in contact with
the Supreme Court.

Public Administrator.

The Sentinel has the following regard
ing an office supposed to have been
abolished during the last session of the
Legislature ain 1867 the Legislature
passed an Act providing for the Office
of Public Administrator aud making
him ex-officiO Coroner. In 1881 this
law was repealed. The office Of Public
Administrator is il constitutional office
and it is made mandatory upon the
Legislature by the Constitution to pro-
vide for the the discharge of its func-
tions. The question arises whether the
Legislature had any power to repeal the
Act of 1867 by which the office of Pub
lie Administrator was, not created, but
provided for as ordered in the ConSti-
tuition. This is ii nut for the lawyers to
crack, but it seems to be the prevailing
opinion that the Act of 1881 is void be-
cause the Legislature had no right to
abolish any Office called into existence
by the requirements of the fundament-
al law itself. The Democrats have
named nobody on their ticket in Eu-
reka for Public Administrator. They
had better look a little out. for some
"Smooth Ephriam" is likely to get a
vote or two for that office Gas was once
done in Eureka for Road supervisory
and come in for the perquisites after
the Courts have declared that the office
exists.' AS the Office has been stripped
of its emoluments it does not seem to
occasion much of a political scramble in
Carson. The convention made no
for it and left it with the
Central Committee to appoint. The
had better make Justice
Cary eX- officiO Administrator, as most
Of the business of the office is now done
the Court.

Engineer Melrille's Wife.

PHILADELPHIA, September +.
Mrs. Henrietta B. Melville, wife of Engineer
George w. Melville, was taken from her home
at Sharon Hill to the State Asylum for the IN
sane at NorristOwn, to-day. The certificate
upon which she was deprived of her liberty
was signed Sunday by DR.. NJ. Fisher Long
streth. of Sharon Hill, and DIR. Samuel P.
Barthson, OF Clifton. The former hos long
been her medical attendant. The certificate
sets forth that the examiners are convinced
from examination that Mrs. Melville is not of
sound mind; that she was brought to thlt con-
dition through alcoholism, and that she was
the proper person to receive treatment at
asylum for the insane. The parting between
mother and children was most affecting.
After making all necessary provisions for
the comfort of his wife MIR. Melville returned
to this city, whence he sent the children h ome
early this evening under the escort of two of
his friends. He took the ll:G0 p. m train for
home. Prior to his departurea reporter called
upon him to obtain his story of the facts con-
nected with this distressing affair He said:
"My wife's insanity has manifested itself oc-
casOnally ever since marriage, but has
become more violent of late. ] have heard of
her drawing Il toy wagon along the street and
asking passcrs-by TO look at the new baby that

his return. when there was not even Il rag
baby in III. wagon; still. her hallucina
tions We're generally harmless, | felt no
fear of her doing anything violent. l would
rather have had nothing sad publicly of this
sad affair but since it has got into the news
papers want the true facts to he set forth.
One Of the members of her family died in
asylum for the insane. Another is Il simple
and third passed several wears in contne-
ment because of insanity. Her story, which l
mented mind, but. Ike many insane persons,
she possessed the faculty of speaking very
sensibly and cohereltly, even with her mind
unbalanced, so that l cannot say that the
writer of the article had any lntcntiOn of do
ing me harm. His mistake one OF judg
ment, and not of intention. He did not know
that he talking to crazy woman Many
of my friends know of the troubles | have
experienced in my domestic life, bnt none
know them all
With regard to the story as to the troubles
about money, Chief Engineer Able. an init
mate friend, said: according to the rcgula
tons OF the navy, an officer at sea can only
allow his wife one-half of his salary. Tn Mr..
Melville did, giving her 800 Il month. Besides
this. he owned the house, VIII Gu was well fur
n1>hed laid i'll q stock of coat sufficient for
tlree years. paid the taxes and the hool eX-
p"nseS OF the children for the same term. and
paid off the debts that she had CONTRACTED
While he was with the Asiatc squadron. To do
this he had to get special order from the Sec
ratarv OF the Treasury allowing him to alot
wife. On this p titul sum he had to live to-
long time"
