EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT.

The editors of this paper design to spare
neither labor nor pains to make 1t, not only a
readable, but reliable and useful paper.
We propose to devote it to-the interests Of the
people, and not to the interests of spectators
and partzans: and doing this we must depend
upon the people for support, and it IS for them
to say whether such paper shall be sustained
One of our leading objects at present will
be to secure for the state better currency
In this effort we can expect no sympathy
from bankers, and we fear, but little from
politicians and we look to the ma sses for sup
port. We hope to make the Argus q Demo-
crat inferior to no paper in the State IN the
quantity and value If its origsna! matter.
We have paid no little attention to economic
cal and governmental science, and shall en-
deavor to write articles which are the result
of study and research, which cost US labor
to produce and which will be of lasting SER
vice to our readers if they will ponder them
we'll.
Our eight page weekly will contain these
articles as they appear in the dailies, with
large amount OF Geographic and other news,
and miscellaneous matter, a review OF the
markets, &c, sc. We hope, in short, to make
it such paper as will promote the true inter
ests of farmers and usiness men. In politics
it will be independent and outspoken upon
all measures affecting the interests OF the
State or Nation, approving what We conceive
to be right, and exposing and condenning
what we believe to be wrong, and we hope to
be abe at oil times to give reason tor every
position xe assume.

Messrs. Bradley & Co. in this
weeks paper. BY comparing it
with last weeks report our rea-
ders can form some idea OF the
effects of the blockade, combined
with the new republican tariff:
1t scenes to be strange COM
mentary upon the policy of that
party that they adopt the same
views of a tariff, taxation and rev.
cnue that the old Wing party
did in 1914, and which was so
efectually annihilated as to have
been scarcely heard of till their
accidental accession to power.
But if the money to be raised from
this source now would 60 into the
L. S. Treasury for the support of
Government, our objections to
it would be less potent than at
present. Any man with half an
eve can see, that the merchants
of the country, will when there is
an advance in the market upon
the kinds of goods they have,
makea corresponding advance up
on their stock on hand And if
the supply of such taxed articles
in the country is sufficient for
one years consumption, and the
object of the law is to raise S23,
100000 in one year on such
goods, then the consumer pays
that amount ostensibly for the
support Of government, and nev-
er one dollar of it reaches the
public Golfers.
But this not all: if at the expi-
ration ofthat time the war should
be settled, the course Of public
commerce and trade has been
broken up by this unwise policy,
the people taxed enormously, and
the government not benefited one
farthing thereby. Here we see a
tax Of two to three cents per 10.
imposed upon sugars. three to
five cents on coffee, fifteen to
twenty cents on tea, and so with
all the staple necessaries of life.
Apply this tax to the case of the
poor man or the poor widow with
a large family Of children depend
ent.for their support solely upon
their daily labor with that of the
rich man, and tell us which class
bears the burden of this most un-
natural conflict. Hence, the on
ly safe policy, and the system of
raising revenue that addresses it.
self to the masses approvingly is
by direct taxation, in which all
persons defray the expenses of
government not in the proportion
that they respectively consume its
imports. but in proportion to
their wealth, one with the other.
In this there is no injustice. But
to require the poor man, as un-
der the policy of this republican
tariff, to pay as much revenue to
the government, upon piece of
coarse WOODEN goods, as the rich
man pays upon his fine piece of
broadcloth savors of the rankest
injustice. And if this most I'M
necessary war was a benefit to any
of the interests Of that class, the
increased tax might be the more
easily borne; as it is, the army
contractors are the only class of
men benefited, or likely to be, by
prolonging the war.

The Editor of the DEBORAH Repub
Tic is jubilant because MIR Lincoln in
his message announces that in none of

stupidity in not learning the fact before
No wonder, neighbor, you don't expect

you? If you do. please sugge't to him
in time for his annual message, that
the word Sovereignty does not &C.

DENTAL.-About ten o'clock yesterday cye-
ming, DR.. Norman McNaughton, the celebrated
dentist, was taken suddenly with the tooth
ache, in a saloon on Pine street, and bystander
was asked to pull it. He hitched to the tooth
with rusty turnkey, and made "pass," but
it was no go. He had nerve but notthe strength.
The "Ycoman" was then called to assist, and
after one or two trials they brought out as sound
tooth as ever grew in a mans jaw. After ex-
amining the tooth closely, and finding nothing
to cause the aching, the Doctor coolly remarked
that ga sound tooth was frequently internally
diseased"

ton OF Ores, either Wet or Dry crushed.

require but little attention. being sufficient
TO attend thirty or more.
3D.. During the process Of amalgamatun they
reduce the ore to an almost impalpable powder, IL

do not grind the mercury.
4th. II Is claimed fer them, and demonstrated
that they will save from 20 TO 100 per cent. more

Tho Amalgamating Pans are put In sets Of three,
discharglng into each other three of which setts
are capable Of thoroughly amalspmatng at least ten
tons OF gold ore per day and with slight addition
are equally adapted to the smalgamatiOn Of Silver
Ores by any OF the old OF new processes.
The Pans are about four feet In diameter and
supplied with false, perforated, OF grHte b0tt0m,
upon which the grinding Is done, which allows the
gold, as soon united with the mercury TO settle
beneath the crate, and, remain safe AZ II under

speaking of the permanent constitution of the

kee invention conceivable, sort of self-opera-
ting, selfconrOling, self-protecting and self
maintaining contraption, designed forever to
prevent within the seeded States any such
disagreeable contingency Of public affairs as
real popular election, by which the government
may possibly get out of their own individual
hands into those of any other men or party.

THB LOST FoUND.-A fair, but frail damsel
left her abode last evening at dusk, and not re-
turning at 10 o'clock, it was thought that she
had gone off and done something rash. 1t was
noised around and Pete Mushaway and num-
Der of our citizens were soon on the scout.
They dragged Deer creek and seined Bovyer's
ditch, and were about to make a descent into the
shaft that Dick Woods, once upon time,
fell into and perished, when two young and
daring adyenturers, one upon grey and the
other on pinto, announced that they had
found the lost one in Grass Valley, where she
had gone on foot, for exercise. Thus all chance
for local, vanished before our eyes.
DR.. McNAU0HTON.-The dental profession
came very near being honored in the election
of City Marshal from their ranks Monday.
Although the Doctor had announced himself as
a candidate at a very late hour, the election
eering in his behalf was very lively, and at the
closing Of the polls the Doctor had secured one
very handsome vote. The vote, however, Of
six hundred and seventy eight, which was scat
tered between Gregory and Rider, somewhat
impaired his chances, and unless Eureka and
Red Dog exert themselves, the Doctor will
have to resume his dental avocation.
THRATRIcAL.-The Theater was filed on
Tuesday evening by fashionable and intelli-
gent audience, to witness the play Of the
"Hunchback," Mrs. Hayne as Julia. Mrs. II.
never appeared before Nevada audience to
better advantage, and she was fairly sustained
by the stock company. The company played
at Grass Valley last evening, and give another
entertainment in Nevada tonight, the pieces
selected being the "Stranger" and the "Rough
Diamond" in both Of which Mrs. Hayne will
appear.
RoBBERY.-Mr. George Crawford, who re-
sides on Piety Hill, was stopped about half
past nine o'clock on Tuesday evening, by
couple OF fOot-pads. He had taken the precau-
ton to put his money and watch in safe
before starting home and the robbers finding
be had nothing on his person of value to them
took from him bunch of keys and pocket
knife, and threw them in fume.
FLAGS RAIsED.-A flagstaff was raised this
forenoon on Pennsylvania Fire Company's
house, and at eleven o'clock the American flag,
presented to the company by Mr.. i. f. Beans,
was run up, where it now proudly and graceful
ly floats to the breeze. This afternoon the
Nevada Rife Company also raised the Stars
and Stripes over their armory, on Main street.

COUNTY ScRIP.-By notice in our adver-
tising columns, it viii be seen that the County
Treasurer is paying scrip drawn on the general
fund up to September LIST, 1858. Orders reg
istered previous to that date will cease to draw
interest from the present time.
LECTURE To-NIGHT.-.The lecture by the
Rev. E. Thomas on "Character," will be de-
fvered at the Methodist church this evening.
Mr.. Thomas was announced to lecture last
Thursday evening, but other engagements pre-
vented his coming at that time.
DIscHARGED.-John Gilmore was examined
before Justice Smith, yesterday, for the murder
Of Thos. Collins, and discharged on the ground
hat the killing was in self-defense.

MURDER AND RoBBERY.-0n Tuesday
evening last, Chinaman named All Faut, who
had been to Missouri Bar to sell vegetables to
his cOuntrymen, while returning on horseback,
was met about dark by FIVE highwaymen, a
short distance above the dollhouse on the
Washington road. He refused to stop when
ordered to do SO, and one of the party who had
gun shot him, the bullet taking effect in his
night side and coming out at the back. He fell
from his horse, and the robbers took from him
some twenty or thirty dollars, all he had. He
managed to make his way to the dollhouse,
and from thence was brought into town in a
wagon. DR.. Wickes was called to attend him,
but he died about three o'clock the next morn
ing from the effects Of the wound. lie stated
that two Of the robbers were armed with guns,
and the other three with pistols. Coroner Henry
held an inquest on the body yesterday morning,
and the above facts were elected. BY a notice
in another column, it will be seen that the
Ling Yung Company have offered reward of
$4O0 for the arrest and conviction of the
robbers.
SUPERVIsoRs.-The Board of Supervisors
adjourned this forenoon, having been in session
three days. Mr.. A. Bickford was appointed
Road 0verseer for the Bloomfield District, in
place Of Rockford, declined to qualify. The
sum Of 5000, surplus remaining in the special
fund, was ordered to be transferred to the gen.
erAl fund. The Supervisor of the Nevada dis
trict was authorized to contract for putting a
new roof on the Court House, and to make
other necessary repairs in the building and Jail.
The appropriations on the several funds were
