The proposed Amendinent : to Article six ough t to-beadopted by. the present Legislature and submitted to the people at the Presidential “election. ‘The next Judicial election ‘may thus be held under it. It abolishes thé Judicial election, heals the defect in the-present provision of the _ Constitution, which makes all J udges —hold for aterm of tenyears; and does —noteffect-the terms of any incumbents now in office. Article.nine is. also amended, changing the timefor the election of Superintendent of Schools,. and Article four.changes the time of the meeting of the Legislature tu the first Monday inJanuary. _As' these Amendments have all ‘been approved by one Legislature, it only remains for the present Legisla_. ture to pass them, and they may be adopted by the people next Fall. As yet we.have not noticed any movement in t:.e Legislature to pass these Amendments.

Board of Health. . prepared by Dr. Logan, of--SacraTinentoy Itis a valuable document, réliable, as the Board depends entirely upon such information as is re. ceived from those who work yolun. tarily for the data. For Nevada . ecounty the number of births from July 1870 to 1871, is given at 128. Mamwiages are not reported, but the: records show: 130. The number of ‘ i + — ments were passed. Ewe-of the pro-+ deaths reparted are as follows; Nevada City 36, Truckee 16, Bridgeport 15. No other places in~ Nevada ‘county are reported. -There ought to be some provision made by law for reports of this character. Until. that is done, the statistics will be utterly valueless as the basis of any calculation. The report gives many excellent hints in regurd to the ventilation of schools, and the effect. of sitting in improper —positions in . A Good Proposition. Assemblyman Lutterall has introduced a bill for the donation of the State poll tax to the county in which it is eolleeted for School purpdses, or in other words making the State poll tax a school tax. Thisis a good . proposition, and-we hope the law will ‘be passed. '-If this issdone, it will; in a great measure, avoid the necéssity of a levy of special schyel taxes in the districts, such hardships tipon _tax -payers in this county= By all means let the State poll tax go to the schools. “rhe apnual meeting of the mem. bers of the Nevada Library Associa. tion will be held atthe Library room only object aimed” at, namely, the separation of the Judicial elections from politics, has entirely. failed to . beaccomplished. . on Saturday evening. The Trustees . are requested to meet this evening for the purpose of examining and approving the annual reports of officers. The Legislative sessions ought not . to commence till after Christmas. At every session two weeks are wasted in holidays, and all real work of the session is put off until after the holi‘days. If the Legislature meets in. January, members will have no excuse for not putting in full time for the State We.hope that some of our legisla-. tors will bring these proposed Amendments before the Legislature for action. Once this Judicial Amendment passed~one Legislature and was neglected by-the next, consequently the whole process of Amendment had to be commenced again: * Terrific Explosion of Giant Powd: Those who remember the -circum~~“ gtances of the death of Wm. Maltman in this city, will be struck by the similarity of the following given by the Virginia Enterprise of Tuesday: Monday morning about three o’clock a fearful explosion of giant powder occurred at the shaft house of shaft No.1 of the Sutro Tunnel, by which years. windlass man, John «Martin, was instantly killed. From Mr. ‘Bethel, Superintendent of the Sutro Tunnel . works, we have the following particulars in regard to, the accident: John Martin and another man were employed at the windlass of: the: shaft,. but he was-the only man on the sur-}face at the time of the explosion, his comrade having gone down into the shaft about five .minutes before it occurred: When this man descended the shaft Martin was at a forge engaged in thawing giant powder.— Martin being. alone, how the explosion occurred can never be exactly known; it is supposed, however, that the explosive material was _ placed too close to the fire of ‘the forge at which he was at ,work. The_shaft house was not only torn to pleces, but the lumber of which it was constructed was broken up. : The forge was all blown away to the ground anda total wreck made of everything. Mariin was found near the building, his head torn to pieces and his body much mutilated. No other ‘person was hurt. Martin was a native of Ireland and aged twenty-nine His funeral will take place this afternoon, at half-past 1 o'clock from Good Templars’ Hall, Dayton. ii tities eee Gov. Hovruan, of New York, sug-' gests that the Federal Constitution’ be so amended as to provide for the election oi United States Senators by -the people instegi of the State Leg“Evexrwa steamboat excursions are the prevailing récreation at Jackson= All bills against the Associatio forthe year, should be left with the Secretary for examination by the Trustees to-night. Getting Better. Dan Collins’: friends in this city will be glad to learn that he is getting better. .Dan was reported dead’ last Sunday, and some of his friends had made arrangements to attend the funeral, before the report was contradicted. We-had prepared a handsome obituary for Dan, but we are pleased to learn that there is every for it for a long time. ' The Stages. ~The stages from all directions are beginning to -inake their trips on time. There is nv stage communication yet, with Washington, Omega or Eureka. The €olfax stage has got in for two nights past, at about 9 o'clock, Nearly as good time as is made in the Summer. Se ~ ~ Road Work. ors to be stirring. in their work. Good drainage is a great thing for good roads. Another storm will be along soon, and unless preparations are made for it great damiage will be done the roads, and more workwill be réquired in the Spring. Freighting. _ The roads have improved so much that the price of freighting from Colfax to Nevada got down to 75. cents per hundred on Tuesday last. During the last storm $1 per hundred was the price. When the roads.are in good condition the price is from 30 to 37)4 cents per hundred. Hunting. s) The hunting party that went down @ Round Tent on Monday, returned on Tuesday €vening, with about fifty quails and half. a dozen hares. They report game plenty, and hunting excellent. Flag Staff Started. ay . The flag staff in front of the’Pennsylvania Engine Company's house was started from its upright position on Tuesday night, and it now leans astmuch as the mast of a revenue cutter. G > : ” Ice. 4 If the present weather continues, the Nevada Ice Company will soon beable to commence storing good ice at their houses at Quaker Hil! and Blue Tent. INDEPENDENCE Haun, in Philadelphia, was visited by 450,000 persons jast year. Over 200,000. tickets to he steeple were iasued, ; <a We have received a copy. of the te-, . port of the State Board of Health, which has . indication that we shall have no use. als Inquest of Francis Wood. 4 On Tuesday an inquest was: held ‘on } thé “body of. Fraticis Wood, formerly a resident of. this county who died guddetily at the Brooklyn Hotel the 18th inst. John Kelly, Jr., the . partner of decgased, testified that . deceased had an attack of illness, . sucleas the one” iti.whieh he died, about one year ago; on January 16th he had a chill; on Wednesday afternoon he attended a funeral and acted as pall-bearer; returned home between four and five o'clock; com-. plained of being chilly and sat down in the office; afterward retired to bed remained in bed: all: Thursday; at quarter past six in the evening Mr ‘Wood called me to his room; found any one; his face and hands were after. ' Dr. L. C. Lane testified that he attended deceased four-or five-months SAcaaioeeipe _L ago; he had intermittent—fever, and I prescribed for him, made but one ". visit; did not see him until a month or more after; a@ year agohe had an attack much more severe of the same nature; there was a tendency to congestive chills, congestive chills are very rare in California; do not . Cook would do any harm;I would } -. have given him larger doses of sulH phate of quinine; I_am not prepared . to answer wheather desceased died . from congestive chills or somé other eongestion ; it is the custom of Western physicians, where congestive chills abound, to “give much larger doses of quinine—-oné-half a drachm atatime, to p vent récurrence; I do not believe it would be possible for achill to— nconegie nl & week afier the later dose had been given. The jury: found that the deceased, Arom natural causes. The deveased formerly resided at Sweetland where two of his brothers now reside. GRANITE QvuaRKY. — We are im formed there is a considerable demand in Grass Valley for granite slabs for head stones, caps, sills, and-other purposes, but there are no persons here who seem to understand the business of quarrying and dressing the raw material. An abundance of the best granite exists all around us, but no quarries are opened. If two or three industrious men who understand the business would en-: gagein it we have no doubt they would find it profitable and permanent.—Grass Valley Republican. Grass Valley people who require such work can find competent men to do it at Nevada. Dear or 4 Pionrer Eprror.—Col. B. F. Washington, editor in chief of the Examiner, and one of the pioneer newspaper men. of the State, died in San Francisco on Monday, of rheumatic gout, after an illness of several weeks.

It is not necessary to dispute that asser. tion in order to establish the fact . that Mr, Greeley’s judgment is not. . to betrusted. A Republican editor . who, while, as we think, doing his . utmost to discredit the Administraition of his own arty, privately ad-. . vises Democratic leaders how they can most surely defeat the Republiean party, does nut seem to us to be a Republican editor of sound jadg-. ment or of remarkable fidelity to:his party friends. — “. By his letter to the editor of the Lexington (Missguri) Cauegsian, Mr. Greeley seems to us to take very much -the same attitude in regard to the Republican party that Chief Justice Chase did_in 1868, when he consented to be a Demacratlic.candidate for the Presidency. It is true that in replying to the suggestion that he should be the Democratic candidate in 1872, Mr. Greeley says that “‘it would place us all in a But the reason hegives is the fact that the Democratic . ig composed mostly of free-trai ders, whilehe is a protectionist; and . he proceeds to.suggest the candidate . whom they thee in his place, as Mr. Chase might Rave. advised the Tammany l.uders who “Bad asked . him to stand. ~ Po ae Republicans who favor the renomination of General Grant seems to suppose that he has ‘a vested right to the nomination. The suggestion is absurd, because those Repubhcans: urge it with no more résolution than his opponents resist it. .

GRANITE QvuaRKY. — We are im formed there is a considerable demand in Grass Valley for granite slabs for head stones, caps, sills, and-other purposes, but there are no persons here who seem to understand the business of quarrying and dressing the raw material. An abundance of the best granite exists all around us, but no quarries are opened. If two or three industrious men who understand the business would en-: gagein it we have no doubt they would find it profitable and permanent.—Grass Valley Republican.
