NEVADA. WEDNESDAY SEPT. 81, 1859.
DAVID c. BRODERICK.

Tn our last issue we announced the death Of
Senator Broderick. This statement was pre-
mature, and we afterwards hoped, fondly but
vainly, that he might yet rise from the jaws OF
death-the hope of our State, the champion OF
T. the rights of men. But it is otherwise ordered
He sleeps forever; and for the laurel which
should have crowned his brow we bring the cy-
press which must deck bis grave.
The career of Mr.. Broderick has been Pc
culiar one. From bis first public appearance in
this State, he was made the object OF unre-
lentiug and malignant hostility; no language
was too vile, no term too opprobrious for him,
until, with the public mind thus poisoned. to be
thought bis friend, to dare an apology in his
behalf, was enough to seal the political fate of
his hapless advocate. But despite all this, the
friends of Mr.. Broderick increased, and his in
Auence strengthened. until as the leader of a
host. devoted and determined he was elected
in 1857 TO a seat in the councils of the nation
In this high position his short career marked
him as one of the great men of the nation.
The expectation of friends was more than real
ized-the sneering predictions of foes more
than falsifed; and the aspirations of that no
BILE heart which had found response in this
State, soon widened into the broader channel s
of a nations sympathy. His fearless stand for
The right, the sentiments which he avowed up
on the Kansas question, clothed in language
vigorous and rugged found an echo through
the entire North and despairing patriotism
was strengthened and encouraged by the man
who could alike shake off the shackles of party
and defy the menace of power In the support oi
right. In him, labor was honored, and the toll
er of whatever land, looked with pride and hope
to the Senator when he pointed the road which
had led him from the newer of stone to thu
councils Of the nation.
Thus in one short year had bis honesty ant
foarlessness placed him with the first ones o
the land. Alas that he should be thus raised
but as the mark for murder; that the natior
should know him but to mourn his loss; tina
California should feel strong mans hand a
her helm but to see her pilot whelmed in the
deep, while darkness and tempests encircled the
ship of State; that SO baleful an eclipse should
follow so bright morn. Bnt so it is-our Sen.
ator is dead. Upon the ISLANDERS which hatred
strewed in his path he but rose the higher. The
&c orn of his foes was answered by the plauditt
of the nation, and their curses recoiled upon
themselves. Bafied by man whose genius
they could not deceive, whose integrity they
could not corrupt, whose courage they could
not ntimidate, they ambushed his path with
-assassins. and sealed his lips with his hearts
blood They have accomplished their purpose
the lion is out of their path, and for the
blood-stained spoils they can cast lots.
For us there is left the memory of what he
was, and the legacy his dying lips have be-
queathed us-the protection of his unstained
honor

TIE IMMIGRANTs.-The Plumas Argus, says
that the immigration continues to pour into the
State by the Honey Lake route, in unprece-
dented numbers, and the streets of that town
are lined with strangers bearing the unmistake-
able marks of new comers. Many have fami-
lies, and all seem anxious to obtain employ
ment, and are willing to work for reasonable
compensation They mostly hail from the
States of New York, Illinois, Wisconsin, and
Iowa. Very many of them started for much
shorter trip-Pike's Peak-and consequently
have reached our borders in comparatively
destitute condition.

Tue LAST WORDS OF SENATOR BRODERIcK.-
The last Ineligible words OF Senator BTode-
rick. which were uttered few hours previous
to his death, were, II die-protect my honor"
He was reported to have previously said, "They
have killed me because l was opposed TO the
extension of slavery and a corrupt admnistra.
ton" There were some contradictory state
ments as to whether be made use of this latter
expression, but we notice that Col Baker, in
his funeral oration gives them as Broderick's
words. In regard to the mental condition OF
Mr.. Broderick, during his illness, the Alta says
The mind of the wounded man was wander
ing after the nfiction of the fata! shot, and at
times he was not himself. The effect of the
chloroform given TO him deadened the excruci-
ating agony by affecting his nervous system,
which had been strung to the greatest tension
by the three days of harrassng anxiety prece-
ding the duel. Before the fight be expressed
his firm determination not to shoot at Terry
above the hips, as he did not consider he had
any quarrel with him. and after he was shot bis
wandering mind called that up, as also the i'm
preston of the conviction that he was to be
hunted by the hungry crew who thirsted for his
Office, until he should be killed He talked of
the defeat in the State of the great principles
for which he had don battle; that he had been
deserted by the people he had taken the field
for, and now the peculiar class of politicians
who had Joined against him would be encour-
aged to hunt after him to put him out of the
way. He felt he was to be silenced, and he is
now silenced forever.

GRIZZLY BEAR SToRY.-A grizzly bear was
lately caught in trap and killed Skeletons Ranch
Mariposa county. The Gazette that the "hor
rible brute" had been prowling about for several
nights killing hogs ETC.. and as it feared that
he was after the ourshing public school located at
that place, or the schoomarm Mr.. Shelton set traps
for him. into one of which Bruin was inveigled.

ANOTHER FATAL DUEL.-On Friday morning
duel was fought between DR.. Peterson Good
wyn and VIM. J. Gatewood. The weapons used
we're rifles; distance, forty yards. AT the first
fire Goodwyn fell mortally wounded, and died
ly respected. 1t appears that the parties had
formerly been friends, but were opposed to
each other in politics, and quarrelled on the
day of election. The lie passed, and they came
Goodwin challenged him the same day, and as
soon as Gatewood's finger got well he notified
his antagonist, and the meeting took place.

TERRY's MovEMENTs.-Judge Terry left Sac
ramento on Friday morning last, and proceeded
to his farm near Stockton, where he was arrest.
ed by the Sheriff of San Joaquin county. 1t is
stated that the officers of San Mateo county
have taken measures to have him arrested and
brought to trial. 1t appears there is no law in
this State TO punish man for fighting duel,
except one of the parties is killed, hence Ter
ry could not be arrested until after Broderick's
death.

THE NEXT PREsIDENCY.-The N Y Journal Of
Commerce, in au article upon the Presidential
question, says
Instead of eighteen States which the Democ-
racy had a right to claim in the House, only
fifteen can be calculated upon out of the thirty
four, for that will bc the whole number of
States represented in Congress after the adms-
sion of Kansas The Democracy will, there
fore. be shy of trusting to the House. They
must make nomination that will prevail be-
fore the people.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONFERENCE.-The vote in TO.
vor of Constitutional Convention in the six
Joaquin, San Francisco, and Napa, is 1910,
which is, perhaps, a majority of the total mum
Der of votes cast in those counties But in
some of the other populous counties the ques-
tion seems to have been almost entirely ig-
nored, and for that reason the Convention
tcheme is doubtless defeated. Nevada has pro-
badly given the largest majority in favor Of the
Convention Of any county in the State.

GEN. SHIELDS FOR DoUGLAs.--ExSenator
Shields, in speech at the democratic conven-
tion at Faribault, Minnesota on the 3Oth ult.,
said =,
The people of these United States have made
up their minds to make Stephen A. Douglas of
Illinois, the next President; and what is more,
two thirds of the people of Minnesota will vote
for him; and when they do, they will vote for a
Green Mountain boy with a heart almost as big
as Jackson's.

ing on the San Francisco and Marysville Rail
road. over in Sutter county, was arrested yes

of bigamy preferred by his La't brOther-in-law
He is charged with having one wife in Boston
another in Ireland, aud another in California
Having had children by all of them, be has
quite numerous progeny. He will probably
be taken to Tuolumne county for trial, as his
last wife lives there. He is said to be quite q
fine looking fellow, and well calculated to en-.
snare female hearts. MarysUiIe Democrat.

Broderiek and himself, in regard to Judge Ter
ry. After the publication of Perley'S version
of the conversation, another card appeared
from Mr.. A. A. Selover, who was also present
and took part in the conversation. Mr.. Selo-
yer natly contradicts the statement of Perley.
