U By reference to the Geographic
news it will be seen that our fellow
townsman, Maj. WM. E. VENABLE, has
been appointed Minister Resident to
Guatemala, in the place of Hon. John
L. Marling, deceased. We are glad
of it, and deem the appointment a
most excellent one. May the Major
have pleasant trip and enjoy the
best of health while filling his official
duties. We can but regret, though,
that our community will be so long de-
prived of his association.

New SPRING GooDs.-G. A. Shook
has just finished opening his stock OF
Spring and Summer Goods, and makes
his inaugural address in the shape
of an advertisement to be found in
another column. We notice that ev.

various kinds of goods, and we predict
that he has this time made selection
in which his customers cannot tail to
find whatever they may need. But
read his advertisement.

T We pride ourselves on having,
generally, very neat printed paper,
but the printing may not be quite as
good as common this week, for some
low-minded rat sneaked into our office
the other night, while we were enjoy
ing little sleep, and without saying
single word, ate so much of our
good roller that it is almost impossi-
BILE to make it do until we can run a
new one. We always did have q
small opinion of rats, but now our
feelings are turned to perfect hatred,
and if there be any virtue in strych-
nine, the mordacious rascal that so
multilated what didn't belong to him,
will sleep his last sleep before many
more moons wax and wane

The Nevada Democrat., 1857-09-09

THE ELECTION in this county passed off qui-
etly, and with less than th. usual excitement.
The total vote in this city was only 1898.
against 2,0S2 at the election last year-beng o
falling of of 7S7 votes. The vote throughout
the county has fallen off in about the same pro-
portion. This is mainly owing to the fact that
the people take less interest in State election
than they do in An election for President, The
Democratic vote would unquestionably have
been larger had there been no difficulty in our
own ranks. as great many who lived near the
polls refused TO vote for this reason. The pop
ulation Of the county is fully as large as it was
last November. So far as we have heard there
were no serious riots or disturbances in any of
the precincts of this county.
The Nevada Democrat., 1857-09-09

A PROSPEROUS CTY.-Portland, says the Or
egon Democratic Standard exhibits at the present
time every evidence of future prosperity The
past season has been one of unusual business
activity. Many substantial and finely finished
brick buildings have been reared on the ground
before occupied by dilspidated wooden ones;
and ere the close Of the season of building.
many more, some of which are now in process
Of erection, will bear additional testimony to
the permanent growth of the city and the ster-
ling enterprise of its citizens. Not only this
but the heretofore circumscribed boundary of
the city has been largely extended; the tall frs
have been leveled before the onward march of
improvements and now give place to many
fine residence building and flourishing garden.
A few more seasons of Improvement. as event
ful in progress as the past, will witness a CITY
on the North Pacific Of no mean pretention TO
Importance. even when brought in contrast
with those of the neighboring locality-Cal-
fornia.
The Nevada Democrat., 1857-09-09
The ELECTION In nevada.

Through the treachery Of . few professed
Democrats, portion Of our county ticket has
been defeated. By reason Of constant abuse,
fictitious afidavits. and lying handbills, about
1000 Democrats OF the county have been induc-
ed to vote spurious ticket, thereby defeating
Judge Walsh and Mr.. Plumer. Against Judge
Walsh not valid objection was or could be
ocratic County Convention, and was undoubt-
edly the choice of majority Of the party so far
as that choice could be ascertained by the vote
of the delegates elected. The report that he
was in favor Of the sale Of the mineral lands,
and of reducing the wages Of labor to dollar
and a half day, was a mere political hobby,
aud used only as an excuse to work and vote
against him. There was an objection to Mr.
Plumer. For the past year and half he has
acted as marshal of Nevada. aud 10 the dis
charge of bis duty as such, has arrested many
persons, who have been fined for violating city
ordinances, Many of these parties have con-
tracted a hatred against Mr.. Plumer, and it waf
known that they were using great exertiots to
him. but this was the principal. The parties
working against Judge Walsh, by combining
their influence with the enemies of Plumer, sue
ceeded in accomplishing their purpose. The
real cause of this treachery, they kept carefully
concealed until after the election. Because
they could not rule the Democratic party of the
county they went to work deliberately to de-
feat some Of the nominees, and allied them
selves with the Know NOthings to effect this re-
suit. Their conduct has demonstrated that
they are Democrats only from interest, and not
from principle, and that they are ever ready to
join any party, however Objectionable its prin-
ciples, if by so doing their own private piques
can be gratifed,a and their personal ends accom-
plished. They will yet be rewarded according
to their deserts.
