OrR COCXTY UtILOIAOK.
Let Vm Uavi js wr Co.rt Hmi a Mil
Jail.
Oae week frurn to-morrow Carson City
mill be the scour of a tragc.lj which will
h all tire worse for bein etMetcil ia Ibe
fjee of l.iy uu.I in tin- jirrst nee of all
who iui:y rhoose to look upoa its enact
ment. John Mnrphv, a cvuvicteJ mur
derer, will I, on that day, taken from
the mjst public bull Iid,; on the meet
public srrwt of this little city, conveyed
tliranjh the town to such place as the
Sheriff shall have chosen, and there
hanged It tha neck nntil he is dead. It
is, in oar notion, deplorable tii.it the law
cf cplt.il j;r.iiilin)iiit still exists; it is
also dip!oralh that an execution nuiler
the dV.ith penalty should be an icci-iett
in the life of or.r town; and it win be a
sad and mournful day when this con.
doniutd criiuiual is t ikon through our
str-vts in th--priseace of all vtlio may
clioo-ie to I e on the ground, can led to
the EctfToId ud th re put to death. Hut
tha law is inexorable: Justice demands
th nnrdervr's life; and tho Sheriff tun at
do the les-t he can cede r the awful cir
camst.i:itvs. It is no fault of Lis that
there is no jiil-yard provided by thu
canal r; and Le must pi r'oim Lis duty,
let thj deoiorliatioc aad the liorror of
it be what they may.
And new l-t us agaiu call attention to
the urn.S need of a nn.fcdy for this
state of sffairs. The law of "a life for
a life" will duabtless continue unrepeal
ed. With nothing but the exceulioa of
this bloody statute haTe the officers of
oar conuiy to deal. Bat the power can
reader le put ia the hands of our local
authorities I ta.xkn fut are hangings
comparatively private. We have already
binted :.t the way that this mav be
brought about. Let us petition the
legislature (if a special aet be tte-essa-rj)
to authorize the Board of Conuty
Comuiissioaers to sell the present Coun
ty Building and with the proceeds aris
ing froia tuat sale, purchase, a lot tde
ctuatc for the purpose of a Court House
and jail and jail-yard, well removed
from the cater of the city. We Lave
little doa'ot that the presect county
baiidin" wotl 1 stll for eninli nionty
to enable the Coramissioairs to make
this new anl desirable arraEgerjieiit: at
any rate the sagested new buildings
ought not to tv&i much in excess of what
the old buildings would fetch.
Look at the present j iil. It is noth
ing bvtter thau a narrow stone dnn-eca
kito wLL-h tLo simlight rarely or never
shines, and whose ir.inr.tis are denied
the needful e-xeriie of a soenre yurd.

CONGRESSIONAL.
We condense as follows from yester
day's press dispatches:
In tbc Senate, Wright of Iowa Las in
troduced a bill repealing the act which
raises the President's salary. Sargent
is the author of a bill fixing the terms
of the Circuit Court for California,
Oregon and Nevada. West has intro
duced a bill providing for telegraph lines
between Washington and Boston, via
Baltimore, FLiladelphia, New York and
Hartford, to be operated iu the post
offices of those cities nnder the direction
of the Tost-Maater General.
Iu the House, Poland presented testi
mony m the Arkansas troubles. L.it
trell introduced a bill for the improve
ment of Petaluma Creek, Feather Kiver
and the Sacramento providing for the
appropriation of certain moneys.
Houghton of California is the father of
a most righteous measure declaring the
Omaha Iridgo an extension of the U.
Railroad. Beck is the author of a
bill to prohibit United States Senators
and B.piesentatives acting as counsel
lor tue tit tense in cases arisiug uuder
the Keveuue Laws. Creunse wants Ne
braska to have additional representation.
BoLciis proposes to amend the Consti
tution so that nothing Li.t gold and sil
ver can be made a legal tender, atd pro
hibiting Congress from passing laws
impairing contracts. llerriam is for
free Banking. Page of California wants
to stop coolie inipo:tation. Ktliy wants
to convert greenbacks into 3-C5 convert
ible bouds. Butler ia advocating that
measure made a tpecch, the wiud-r.p of
which is reported as follows;
He wanted the Government to come
into the market as a borrower at a lew
rate of interest, then the next range
would 1 nearer it, and so on till ail
rates cf interest come down. '"The Re
publican party," he said, "is hi-ld res
ponsible tor the distress which has been
brought upon the country. We haTe be
come a party invested with capital; a
party of bondholders and monopolists.
The Republican party began at the low
est step the slave, and raised him to
citizenship; but war and the neccsMtics
of the Government brought the capital
ists of the country to the party, and
when the war closed we Lad a paity at
the head of which were capitalists and
at the foot negroes, with not mueh r.Cili
atiou between thrm." f Laughter cn the
Democratic side. Butienemirked that
there was no occasion for their laughter.
.Th'1 IVninoratic party wr.s now a rarty
witii old Whig bondhiddeis for a head
and Irishmen for the tail, and very httle
aniiulkn between t:ie U.ad and tail.

The temper of the late slave masters is
to rule or slay. They appeal from the

they have shown their hand iu an at

provisions of which the blacks may be
sold into virtual tlavery. Give these
unruly pccplo the encouragement of
Democratic President and, so far as the
tboliticn of slavery and the enfranchise

enactments which brought on those con

perfected.

KiAGS OF BFS1.NESS.
Mr. James Parton, in his recent lec
ture at tho Cooper Iustitute, made many
bold and interesting statements in regard
to the "Kings of Business." The fol
lowing is a sample :
"Nowadays, in our modern world,
the men of business come to the front,
and the place of the dukes and barons
of the pood old times is filled by the
kings of business. The great houses e f
our country are mercantile, not fendal.
Rich as Cnvsus is a favorite comparison
and a very frequent one. Nowadays it
is applied to men of business whose un
aided exertions have won for them for
tunes even exceeding iu size the spoils
won from captured provinces. John
Jacob Astor, for instance, once said that
if a man had $250,000 be was as well off
as if he was rich. And Thomas Brassy,
an Englishman, had work going on is
eight nations at the same time, by eight
thousand laborers, whose pay-roll
amounted to five hundred thousand
pounds sterling monthlr. And in this
cocntry we have a greater than he
Cornelius Vanderbi!t, whose fortune is
$400,000,000, and who, at eihtv rears
of as makes up his mind to construct a
four-track railroad between New York
and Buffalo. But there are higher
spheres cf labor than makinq railroads
that cf making books, as our Harpers
aud Appletous can testily. As a ru.e,
the ineti who become very rich begin
poor. Perseverance is another charac
teristic of successful business men.
Astor began at fnrs and kept at furs ur
til he founded the Astor House. Vi'.
liam Chambers, the great Engli-h pub
lisher, set np bis first stand with a capi
tal of five shillings, but he kept at it un
1 1 he succeeded. David Ma.is. the preat
hammer manufacturer, began by making
a single hammer to order. But he made
it well, and now employs 150 men con
stantly. Aud this discloses cnother se
cret of successful men. They learn hr.w
to d cue thing snpeilative'y well.
Another characteristic of successful basi
lHss meu is that they know ail their
business, even to the minutest detail.
Mr. Stewart is a better judge of texture
and has a better taste in colors than any
one in his stores. Mr. Steinway and
Mr. Chickerirg could either e,f them
make a completo piano ; and Mr. Wal
ter, cf the London Times, once set np
with his own hands the type of an im
portant dispatch which otherwise must
have waited for another issue. Usually,
too, kincs of business have exercised
Self-denial. If you want to test a young
man and see whether be is born to rule
or serve, give him a thousand dollars.
If Le is to Le successful in life, he will
save it nntil te can spend it jndieieusly.
If he is born to ssrve, he will immedi
ately begin to spend it iu the gratifica
tion e-f his tastts. As an illustration,
the best farine: ef Pennsylvania, almost
alwuys build their stoue barns before
their houses. But all theoC qualities
which I have mentioned perseverance,
konestcess of wori', self-denial, thorough
knowledge of ne's trade all these will
cot make a man a king of business un
less be knows Low to employ the help
of others."
