THE UUBIoUIToUs GOING TO CoNGREss'-
A Tucson (Arizona) correspondent ofthe Bull
letin. under date of October 14th, says:
.Iieut, Mowry, for several years Delegate to
Congress from Arzonia, has resigned. Judge
McGowan, formerly of San Francisco, is one
of the candidates for his place, and it is very
probable that 'Old Ned will be successful.
Some of his friends have made up purse for
defraying his expenses, and he is now in East
ern Arizona actively engaged in the canvass.
The people of this section have little hope that
Congress will do anything for us next winter,
and therefore take so little interest in the affair
that doubt if any participation is had in the
election. Judge MCGOWAN has been resident
of Arizona about fifteen months, and has be-
come well known throughout the Territory"

rhe vote OF Nevada County.

A gentleman who has travelled consders
bly, over this county within the past two
months, and who is, perhaps, as competent
to Judge of the sentiments Of the people as
any man in the county, has furnished US
the following estimate of the vote at the
Presidential election.
In the townships Of Eureka, Bloomfield
and Bridgeport, known as 1.-The Ridge" ine
vote will be about even between Douglas
and Breckenridge, while Douglas will have
100 more than Lincoln. In Washington
township, Douglas will beat Lincoln 200,
and Breckenridge 100. 10 Nevada, Doug
las will lead Breckenridge 500 votes and
Lincoln 400. In Little York, Lincoln will
receive 100 more votes than Douglas, and
Douglas so more than Breckenridge. In
Grass Valley, the vote will be about even
between Lincoln and Breckenridge, and
Douglas will lead them 300. In Rough u
Ready Breckenridge will probably be 80
votes ahead of Douglas, aud Douglas 100
ahead of Lincoln.
This estimate would give Douglas 900
more votes in the county than Breckenridge,
and 1000 more than Lincoln. The major
ity for Douglas is somewhat less than we
have heretofore estimated but our inform
ant is we'll posted, and his figures may
prove to be nearer correct than our own.
1t is now conceded by all parties that
Douglas will have a majority in the county;
the only question is, as to how large that
majority will be
The contest for State Senator is confess
edly between Watt and Phil. Moore. The
Breckinridgers are making a desperate eff
fort to elect Moore, and seem to have aban-
doned all hope of elesting any other cand-
date on their county ticket. The Bell and
Everett men have no county ticket, and as
the members of that party are not particu-
larly anxious for the reelection of Gwin, 1t

them will support the candidates on the
Douglas county ticket. We believe every
candidate on our Legislative ticket will be
elected; but our friends throughout the
county must not slacken their exertions,
for clean victory is now within our grasp,
and not vote should be lest. Above all,
we wish to caution our friends against trad
ing or swapping their votes. 1t is bad
practice at best. It is by this means that
the BreCkinridgers hope to elect Phil.
Moore. The Republicans arc the only party
they expect to trade with to any extent /;
but unless the Lincolnites should pretty
generally vote for Moore, in consideration
of large number of votes being thrown
for Lincoln, the election of Watt is certain.

They HATE AND FEAR HIM.-The Repub-
licans hate and fear Douglas. They never cease
to decry him. They now hoot at the idea of his
election. just they did at the idea of his NOM
ination by the National Convention. They then
said there was "no other prominent Democrat
ic statesman, who has 80 small a chance of re-
ceiving the nomination at Charleston Yet he
did receive it. Now they say he has no chance
of an election. Yethe viii be elected the six
teenth President of the United States, enc week

THE LAWS DBLAY.-A man in San Joa-
quin county killed his wife last May, after the
Grand Jury had adjourned. The District Court
met in August, but the Grand Jury could not
assemble till October, long after the District
Court adjourned. The Grand Jury of October
indicted the man, but he cannot be tried until
the December term of the District Court. He
therefore lies in Jail six or seven months. This,
the Republican thinks, is hardly giving the ac.
cused "fair and speedy trial." nor is it Just
to the public who pay the prisoners board and
keeping.

Whnt HnYe They poncl

Il has been well asked over and over again, and we
repeat the question now-what have the Southern Yam
CIV Ssctonasts ever done for the South Can anybody
tsg What have thew done for her except to oment ag-
i,atiop 10 make politics a trade and to call OF attention
from measures Of Industrial development which would
make her really independent. We appeal to every hon.
e, intelligent man to say whether the Union of the
South have not always been the persistent ndindeaga
ube advocates of the development of her resources Of
ternamproyemens Of all those measures whose tenden-
cv to place the South upon high independent and inn
pregusble ground? They have advocated, with exhaust
i've toll and unflggng perseverance, those economic In
s,rumentates that never fail to make people strong
and rich and able and willing to maintain their own lib
critics and TO repel all attacks, come from what quarter
sosver they may What support have they had from
the treat body Of Southern sectionasts in this great
work.
What have the latter been about all the whiley Why
trading in politics. abusing the North, republshng abo-
ton insults and slang saving the South by passing
rothy trucuent and cheap resolutions threatening Sc
csiou and dsuniOn at the time sending millions Of
dollars to the North 70 enrich and build itup! This is
What they have been doing, and every honest man
Knows IT, The advocates of Southern independence
prosperity and wealth. have not only had no support
worth speaking Of from the seclionass but they have
no, INDEPENDENTLY encountered their opposition. The
ssconas.s have often dcued the effort Of the indus
tr,sts Of the South to make her really independent Of
the North. The former have been saving the South by
CHEAP resoutocs and windy speeches since
remember. Their resolutions have been written upon
Northern paper with Northern ink and pens the resO-
L,,iopiss have wora No-thern clothes, have upon
Northern chairs, and, in a word have been giving the
North the verv kind Of aid and comfort which most
desires while Illuminating wordy resolves agaiust which
hive only excited contempt. The people now ask
"a to endorse aud continue this old ding-dong,
sam.bangiug, slang whangiug method of Saving the
South" by voting for ,he party that has been really
making the South comparatively poor and keeping her
back in her Greer Of industrial development moral
power and political Influence.
These sectional people have been in power both in the
National and State governments for many years, and
hy have had abundant time, therefore, TO show what
thew can do That they have totally failed let the pre-
seat condition Of the country prove. Let them now re-
tire and let Us have change Of policy. The sectional
doctors have doed their patient aud kept him in such
constant irritation that they have nearly killed him. Let
them be dismissed Lot the patient have little rest
aud some healthy nOurishmeut, and he will soon be on
his feet again. hale and vigorous.
In word, let the people make John Bell President,
aad all will be well for them and well for the country.

The distracted condition Of the country is beginning
to tell sensiby upon the commercial interests oil the

argument against Lincoln and for the Union But this
Il an evil that reacts and united the sections are ~
common interest," the disturbing cause works its effect
upon ALL in greater or less degree. Disunon would
wreck the prosperity Of both sections and the aPprehen
sion of it cannot be without lis evil influences In reVo-
utOns the properholdes and capitalists are the losers
aud the approach of revolution warns them 10 close
their Golfers, and this is followed by depreciation IN
the value of property and the suffering oil 1.-THE aoorng
and debtor classes But when revolution begins these cof
es are broken open and the bold and unscupuous advn
turer with nothing lose fattens upon the plumber OF
those who had prospered in time OF peace and under
stable government. The man who is rich to day, with
Uoion preserved may be poor tomorrow, with Union
discovered and whilst property should weigh nothing
when the question is resistance to actual wrong and N
ranny, an important consideration when contempa-
ting revolution without adequate cause, and in de-
fence of a meaningless abstraction.
Let the people of Virginia look the practical and fearful
evils of Disuuon in the face, and vote for Bell and
Everett on Tuesday, becomes reasonable, intelligent
and patriotic men.

The "Fnquirern Gives Il UP.

We maintain that the Enquirer gives it upthat Breck
nrdge will not carry Virginia. In its Wednesdays is
sue, il says
"Mr Douglas vote will not exceed 10 000 Mr. Bells
$4,000; while Mr. Breckinridges viii reach 10000 should
10000 votes be poled,"
Here is concession that Douglas will receive 10000
Bell 10000 and Breckenridge 10000, provided IsO,-
900 be polledl Now the highest aggregate vote ever
polled in the State was 1862 The vote next Tues
day will not we think, even reach that figure But take
the 699 the highest aggregate vote ever cast as the
vote likely TO be poled Tuesday, and If Bell as the
Enquirer eOnceives will poll 10000 and Douglas 10000
making together 50 OOO what will necessarily be the vote
of BrecknrdgeP Deduct the Bell and Douglas vote from
1866 629-that is, $1,000 from 1856 629-and you have,
a, the vote of Breckinridge 1882 majority for
Bell ovsr Breckenridge of 1871!
But the Enquirer insists upon taking the Goggin and
Letcher vote the most proper to look to in our
present calculations Now, the aggregate vote in the
Goggin and Letcher election 1897. And if you
subtract the combined Bell and Douglas vote from the
Goggin and Letcher vote-thst is deduot $4,000 from
l4g 97l-you have, as the vote for Breckenridge,
81 s7I; or a majority for Bell Breckenridge Of
10000!
Thus, according to the concession Of the Enquirer,
provided the aggregate vote this year does not exceed
the highest aggregate vote given beforehand, we
are sure it will not-Be will certainly carry the Old Do
minion by glorious majority. Go to the polls Union
loving men, and Virginia will sure as the sun rises
aud sets on Tuesday next cast her electoral vote for Ben
aud Everett by at least 10000 majority!
