Manas Lapeany—lt is not gen-{
erally known, even a our own cit= .
«izefem, Chit Nevada has one of the best
_ public libraries in ‘the le State .
_ Se-far as any information’ has come to
®
us, mo town of California, except San
" Francisco and Sacramento, has. colieee ot beaks at eS
has ssletiion te elapted oe every tanto
_ gs every public library should be, and
comprises many rare and expensive
_ works. ‘The aim of the directors of the
zhas been to keep pace with
the times, and in endeavoring to do so,
they have collected together about two
thousand volumes of valuable books.
By strange good fortune the library has
escaped all the desolating fires that have
_ Swept our city, and it seems destined to
live and become what its founders de» . @iigned ‘it shoald be—a pride and source
of usefulness to the city. During the
Rebellion, the war-literature of new=
_ papers occupied largely the attention
of readers, and the Nevada Library
_ made but a slight accession to its stock
ot books. The taste for other and
standard literature has retarned with
the return of peace, and an active interest has begun in the affairs of the
Association. It iscontemplated to add
' @hundted volumes tothe Library by
the 17th of January, to which date the
meeting of the Association stands adjourned. The present ‘is a most favorable time for persons to become members
of the Association. The institution is
*@suctess. Noone jéining now has to
run the hazard of an experiment. By
the ) payment of five dollars initiation
‘fee, and fifty cents a month dues, any
gentleman or lady can become a member of the Association and have an interest in and free access to five thousand
dollars worth. of well selected and
choice works. It is a duty every parent
owes his child to introduce him or her
to the works of the best authors, and
the Nevada Library, by its moderate
charges and excellent collection of books,
places the means of discharging this
duty within the reach ofall. Five dollars makes a member a stockholder on
@nequal footing with those who have
mursed the institution and have paid
for its support hundreds of dollars.—
Now ‘that it is ao longer an experiment,
not a citizen, whether he has children
_. -orndt, should neglect to enrol his name
among the membersof the Association.
_ It is the cheapest way of obtaining reading for the long Winter evenings, and
‘What too of the best character, and apart
from this consideration every wellwisher ¢fNevada should not hesitate to
connect hisname and influence witli'an
institution which is to grow and beome ain’ ornament and rich source of
. {instruction for all coming time. The
‘Library has just been removed to the
room occupied by Professor Bigelow as
@ Commercial Academy, and Mr. Biglow is appointed th the Librarian.
» Touts Roaps.—Capt. Rollins has givts ep the Legislsture of a bill for
x pete rate of tolls on the toll roads
te. A law of this kind would
savea great deal of time now spent by
Supervisors in adjusting tolls.

anos ‘again wir wetiaies of life. Old
strong-in-thefaith chaps, who were
‘th ‘to Have beén dead for years,
came forth as ftom a resutrection, and
were foand im Knots as of yore discus~
sing the. issues of the day, with their
usual vacity. On Montgomery street,
and up and down the alleys leading into the great thoroughfare,might be seen
the old claw-hammer coats of Jackson’s
time, and white bellteasers that bad
hung neglected <amony the cobwebs
since Leland Sanford seized the scepter
froni the Democracy. . Among the
wearers of these imperishable articles
descended from the Democratic past
articles indicative of the conservative
character of the ownefs—were some
who had done hard service for their
country packing sand in out of the way
forts, or suffered for. the cause of seces—
sion in Alcatraz, and all had well nigh
perished from the people having cut off
for six long years ‘their long-time sup—
ply of provender from the public larder.
What caused these old functionaries to
burst, as it were, the cerements of the
tomb, and stand once more at their
wonted corners, to give us a revival of
scenes long past? Hope that a spare
morsel might fall to their share oat of
charity for their sufferings now that the
party had achieved a triumph. Like
Rip Van Winkle they find a new order
of things, in which they are of little
account. ‘Haight, and Casserly, both
avowed enemies, of the ‘Lost Cause,”
stand in the way of the distribution of
pap and crumbs, and to drive the old
codgers back to their holes in despair.
Hancock is the coming man with the
Democrats for the Presidency. No liope
for Secessionists, those who preserved!
the organization of the party intact in
its dark and trying hours, in applying
to Haight for help. Nothing of patronage can be had through Casserly,and
to disgust the Simon pure Copperlieads
hopelessly, Hancock has friends enough
of his own who ‘helped him kill Secessionists, to reward, to leave a. solitary
bone for his old enemies in the field to
pick. What are these old fossils to do?
Are the old white hats and claw-hammers to. retire into obscurity unrequited
for their sacrifices? We have no branch
of the Freedmen’s Bureau here, or they
might be fed by the tyrannical government as they are inthe South. It isa
pity that so much sterling Democracy
should be suffered to go to neglect.
The Radical party don’t want the poor
fellows, and the War Democracy has
will they go?

ANOTHER RoBBERY.—Sometime after
half past 12 o’clock yesterday morning,
“the saloon of A. R. Jenkins, opposite
the Union Hotel, was entered and. robbed. An entrance was effected through
the side door, which opens into the eating saloon, by breaking out a pane of
glass, after which the door was unlocked. The burglars took about $1 75
from the money drawer, but disturbed
nothing else. No money is kept inthe .
drawer through the -night, except
enough for change in the morning.THE “roll of honor” for the last school
month in Miss Hubbard’s school, contains the following names, of pupils
distinguished for good attendance, recitations, and deportment, in the order
of their standing: Agusta Wentworth,
Marie Fininger, Frank Mead, Hattie
Nelson, Charles Housman, George Cornell, Hattie Rolfe, Amelia Rigondet,
Earl Caswell, Bradford Wentworth,
Charles Hansun, George Sargent, Hie.

Picayune, left an estate worth half
a million of dollars; all of which he made
as a journeyman vee.
James M. "Mason, ex-Senator from
Virginia, has published a letter settit

_ Tux ScHoor QuEstio: .—It is hardly
‘that the ‘of Zack Montgomery for the ion of the Pub+ ebegineaday + the State, will find
‘rats in the Legislature, and it is cer
tain that no such law as he proposes
‘can ever be passed through the Senate.
The Braminé? has already declared
against such a change, well knowing
that it would be suicidal to the party
that attempts such a thing. The feeling of the people of the, State may be
judged from the increased vote of
Swett in the late election. They desire to keep the public school system
under the control of the State, free from
partizan influences and independent of
all religious denominations. The doctrine that it is the duty of the State to
educate the youth in order to prepare
them for an intelligent performance of
the duties of citizens is the fundamental prineiple of the present school systhis principle or utterly destroyed, The
officers must be held responsible for the
faithful performance of duty, and the
expenditure of school moneys must not
be left to irresponsible parties. Let the
other plan for the division of the school
fund be adopted, and the people will’
cease to pay taxes for the support of
such an abortion, and we will venture
to say that in less than a year one half
of the large revenue .now paid for
school purposes will be cut off. Such
a course would be right and proper, for
unless the public schools are inaintain—
ed free from the bickerings and quar—
rels of little communities and bigoted
religionists, they had better be closed.—The policy of Montgomery can lead to
nothing leas than the overthrow of our
public school system, and the establishment in every place of two or
three opposition schools, over which the
churches are to fight. The party that
dares to inaugurate such a policy in any
enl 2 [pares community is damned beyond redemption.
