 SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 13.-A New York special quoting from the Herald says: The state of Nevada mas collapsed. It never was much of state and never should have been admitted into the Union. The enabling act of March, 1861, was one of the most culpable follies of the Republican party.

Is not a constitutional amendment desir- able to extinguish 1t? Is it just that other states should tolerate the monstrous political power that Nevada exercises in and in the electoral college? But the extinguishment of any state is a serious matter, and the continuance of of any state in the monstrous condition of Nevada, is very serious matter also.

The negroes all along the | river and especially in the neighborhood | of Urbano are greatly exercised and l frightened.
