The Tariff.

The recent increase of the tariff fifty
per cent above the old figures, viii
have, we hope, one effect; it will reduce
importations. At present our imports,
taking gold as the standard, consider
ably more than double our exports /;
and of course that deficiency must be
made up in coin; and though this is but a
comparatively triaing basis, yet it is
made the excuse for nearly, or quite all
the gold speculations on Wall street, and
its dependencies in other cities. We
think it will have the effect to check
the bullion speculation, provided it
does decrease imports, as we think it
will.
If importations continue, however, at
the old figure, there is one consolation ;
the accumulation of gold in the ma
tional treasury will be increased fifty
per cent

Loyalty in Arkansas.

A writer in the St Louis Democrat
dating his letter from Batesville, Ar.
kansas, says;
More than 1900 persons have taken
the Presidents amnesty oath, and at
the late election 1915 votes were cast
for free Constitution at this station.
Refugees in large numbers are receiv-
ing protection, and freedom and free
speech are once more enthroned, or
rather introduced into Northeast Ar
kansas
This section Of the State Of Arkansas
gave large majority for the Union, at
the election held in 1861; but in def
ance of their recorded wishes, they
were betrayed by politicians; and the
devastation of the last three years has
been the result The people are now
not only in favor of removing the re-
bellion from their midst but also for
removing slavery, its cause.

The Savannah Republican says: that
If there are two men in all Lincoln
dominions who deserve universal con-
tempt they are the Governors of New
York and Kentucky. Seymour went
into Office with many furious threats OF
what he intended to do in case Lincoln
should attempt to carry out his tyranni-
cal and unconstitutional policy within
the limits of New York; but no sooner
was he seated in the gubernatorial chair
than he showed the white feather, and
instead Of resisting Lincoln, went to
work to help him Bramlette wrote
Lincoln a blood and thunder letter,
declaring that slaves should not DO en-
listed in Kentucky without the consent
Of their owners; but Lincoln went on
with the business, and the wretched
apology for Governor now cools down
and issues a proclamation, in which he
talks about taking the enrolling officers
before q court-martial, where he knows
Lincoln wiz get just any decision he
wants
The rebels had a right to expect Gov.
Seymour to act differently; they had
been assured that if the Copperheads
obtained power, they would use it in
aid Of the rebellion and there is no
doubt but they would have so used it,
if they had dared But their successes
were only partial; and public opinion
was too powerful for them, and they
were compelled to yield, as handsomely
al they could 1t is not lack Of sym

He has purchased sixty acres of land

fifty laborers employed in setting out

Copperhead papers complain Of Aleck
Long for delivering his speech at the
time he did. They have no fault to
find with his sentiments; but they think
that he ought not to have uttered them
til after the Presidential election.

was a probability that copperhead
might have been elected President, and
then practical effect might have been
given to his suggestions but as it is,

A FIcTIoN.-The great argument against
emancipation with the more ignorant part Of
the people has been that the free States would
be oyerrun with colored laborcrs who would
take the work out of the hands and the bread
out of the mouths of white men. 1t is now
a year since the policy was proclaimed and
the slaves freed. There are thousands OF
poor fugitives within our lines for whom every
kind heart will do what it can-but are We
overrun. Are laborers Of any kind too nu-
merous Are wages hopelessly low? Is it
not perfectly clear that the assertion of dan
ger to the laboring interest at the North was
the merest political fiction
1t was part of that policy to which the
rump Of great party has been reduced, the
policy of attaining and securing power by ap.
peals to the prejudices and passions Of the
most ignorant citizens.
The only distinctive and true democracy IS
that which asserts the original American
principle, that every man is born with certain
rights which society is bound to respect.
But the faction which still calls itself the
Democratic party is distinguished chiefly by
its frank contempt for human rights. Its
chief effort is to inhame Irishmen against
negroes. What lofty endeayor! What
noble party! How secure the honor, peace,
and prosperity of the country would be were
they only con6dad to such hands!

THE MYSTERIES OF THE SANcTUM.-A
man who prints newspaper down East,
is of the opinion that "an editor who can
not stop right in the middle Of one Of the fin-
est train Of thought to describe the dimen-
sions of large pumpkin, write an advertise
ment for dog lost, to enter the name OF a
new subscriber, or receive pay for an old one,
to take a cowhiding for something he has
said, and after all, resume the thread Of his
discourse, and carry out the idea in all its
original force and beauty, is next to no edi-
tor at ALL" This is all very true, but though
the ideas here advanced may give an outsider
a faint notion Of some Of the disadvantages
an editor labor under, they don't begin to tell
the story Of his woes. Half an hour before
going to press his leader has been knocked
into pi, and, as the copy is destroyed, he
must steal one, with the certainty Of being
exposed and abused by his contemporaries; or
he picks up number Of the last issue, to see
that they have transposed the lines Of a SON.

SHOOTING on TIE WALKER RIVER
There are two versions to the shooting affair
on Walker River, which occurred the other
day: One is that three men, named me VIE Milsne ~
Hudson for the purpose Of warming; that as
one of them was entering the door, Hudson
fired upon him, woundine him in the shoul-
der; then upon another striking him in the
groin; and while in chase of the third, ne
felI and his pistol, which was cooked, ex-
ploded, and the ball passed through his own
fHudson's) body. There had been an old
Srudge between the parties. The other YER
sion is, that Hudson was attacked, while IN
bed, BY Hickey and Boggs, who fired upon
him through the crevices Of his cabin that
Hudson seized his revolver, came outside,
fred and hit Rickey in the groin and Boggs in
the side and Hudson himself was struck in
the back. None Of the wounds are considered
dangerous. The parties engaged tell their
own stories and il is difficult 70 determine
the truth of the matter. = Carson Independent.

THE EVENING NEWS.
OUR CHILDHOOD.
BY GEO: D. PRENTICE.

'Tis sad, vet sweet. to listen
To the soft winds gentle SWELL.
And think we hear the music
Our childhood knew 80 well;
To gaze out on the even
And the boundless fields Of sir,
; And feel again our boyish wish
To roam like angels there.
There are many dreams of gladneSs
That cling around the past
And from the tomb of feeling
Old thoughts come throbbing fast;
The forms we loved so dearly,
In the happy days now gone,
The beautiful and lovely,
20 fair to look upon.
Those bright and lovely maidens
Who seemed so formed for bliss,
Too glorious and too heavenly
For such world as this;
Whose soft dark eyes seemed swimming
In asea of liquid light,
And whose locks of gold were streaming
Der brows 50 sunny bright!
Whose smiles were Ike the sunshine
In the springtime Of the year
Like the changeful CLEANS Of April
They followed every tear
They have passed-like hope-awayi
All their lovelness Is fed
Oh! many heart is mourning
That they are with the dead.
And yet, the thought is saddening
To muse on such as they,
And feel that all the beautiful
Are passing fast away! ......
That the fair ones whom we love
Grow to each loving breast,
Like the tendrils of the clinging vine,
They perish where they rest.

THE WASHINGTON SEAsoN.-The WASH
ington correspondent of the Alta, writes as
follows Congress having voted themselves
a'holiday for two weeks, most Of the men,
bers and officers have left Washington for
their respective homes. Other temporary
residents have also joined in the hegira, SO
that the festivities of the season are left to
the enjoyment and exercise of those whose
connection with the metropolis is Of more
permanent nature. 1t is generally anticipa-
ted that the coming winter will be gay one.
Money is no where spent more freely than
here, and liberal hospitality is one Of the
means practiced not only to promote social
enjoyment. but to further political purposes
for this is the winter when the contest for the
succession" is usually carried on, and
many conclavcs are daily held to discuss and
settle the affairs OF the nation, besides that
which meets publicly under the dome Of the
Capitol. Leagues and conferences assemble,
and meet together in upper chambers and
hotel parlors, composed of over-zealous pa
triots, ambitious aspirants, mOusing politi-
clans, adventurers and fanatics, seeking to
control the destinIes of this great nation.
Foremost among those gathering together
to the fray, are the Radicals from Missouri
a name once looked upon with diStrust, but
now adopted by 4 large party in the country.
These men are affiliated with the leaders Of
the German population Of the West, and are
dissatisfied with Mr.. Lincoln, and will throw
their influence against his denomination, un-
less his future policy is shaped more in ac-
cordance with their views. The Germans as
a class are striving hard to establish a con-
trolling power in National politics. Unset
tied in principle, visionary in their theories
of government, the leaders Of this National
ity are we'll fitted to become troublesome po-
litical agitators here, as they have been
abroad. These men generally favor the noni-
ination Of Fremont, for what reason it would
perhaps be difficult for themselves to say;
Experienced politicians may, however, well
afford to wait for their development before
maturing their plans for the campaign. The
coming springis likely to be an epoch ofgreat
events, which may easily upset schemes pre-
maturely laid.
