OUR CANDIDATE FOR SHERIFF.

Judging from the numerous and lying
reports which can he heard any hour OF
the day up in Virginia, anybody would
suppose that JAMES NJ. DAY had " knock
ed the socks" from under every candidate
for the Sherifalty in Storey county, and
entirely destroyed every prospect Of an
election for regulars" closed-door, In
dependents, or "any other man." 1t is
positively amusing to hear some of his
competitors talk, and to listen to the
threats they are making for his utter an
Inhalation. We heard one of them de-
clare yesterday, that he once saw Mr..
Day, several years ago, away up in Idaho
with one of " Nelson's faro-boxes'' in his
hand, and that he actually saw him take
something out Oft This joke is almost
too good to spoil--but really, we cannot
help poking our oar into it, in order to
let out the winl. While up in Idaho,
Mr.. Day bought him box of seidlitz-
powders, and actually used iss contents.
He was seen to do so by sOnsedOdy-who
told somebody else, and some one else in
Virginia city is now ready to swear that
it was "faro-box pat least so some
body rumored. Seidlitz-powders are not
good for people who sometime or other
expect to be candidates for office-because
they come in boxes very much resembling
"faro-boxes." Beware Of seidlitz-pow-

The worst Traitors Of All.

Were the Rebels in the field, and those
within the bounds Of the Confederacy occu'
pied in civil life, the only traitors the Eede.
raj armies and people had to oppose and
suppress, the task would not be very diff
cult; but besides, there is another force Of
enemies to the National life, attemptedly
disguised, like an enemy occupying castle
or fortress in the centre of surrounding
Notifications. That enemy is the crowd
who cry for terms with the Rebels, for
peace, for compromise, for recognition of
the Confederacy, for any plan which can be
made appear feasible, for any proposition.
however disgraceful, which would put an
end to the war. With them there is no such
thing as dishonor. They cannot conceive
that even life may be purchased too dearly;
that there are things worse than death; that
Nation had better not be, than exist with
out honor. Until the approaching Presi-
Dental election shall have passed, these
sorts Of fellows will be worse enemies than
the rebels in arms. They support the rebel
lion, with the delusive hope Of aid from
the North, with the anticipation that some
half friend Of the South may be elected over
the Union candidate, and through him
terms of their own be accepted. The fact
that no terms short Of those recognizing
and insuring a restoration of the Union,
and the certain ending Of slavery, will ever
be allowed as basis of negotiations by the
supporters of the Federal Government, avails
nothing until that fact shall have been made
palpable by the votes of our Union men next
November. Until then, these Copperheads,
who are generally only hypocrites in form, as
we'll as traitors in fact, will prove the most
efficient supporters Of the rebellion by giving
hope and encouragement to the rebels.
They know we'll, and so do the rebels, that
had these Northern traitors made common
cause with the supporters Of the Government,
or would they do it now, the rebellion could
not last six months. But on the contrary,
by the distraction they have caused, by the
diversion they have made, the arm ofour Gov
ernment has been weakened, the strength
of our armies has been reduced, the conf
dence Of our people shaken, and the blood
of half our heroes spilled in vain. If the
rebellion should triumph, that fact will be
due, both in its inception and result, to the
heartfelt treason of that miserable faction
which disgraces once honorable name by
persisting in calling itself the Democratic
Party. Without possessing one single prin-
ciple of that party, it arrogates a name which
formerly implied, among other attributes,
that Of love Of country. This it has lost,
and prefers the triumph Of JEFF. Davis des-
potism to the restoration Of the Union. They
are our worst rebels.-CaH.

A FREE READING ROOM.

The want of free reading-room has
long been felt in this community, and that
want it is our purpose to supply. We
are negotiating for the purchase of the lot
across the street from our office, the former
site of the What Cheer House. On this
lot we are about to erect a neat one story
building 80 by 40 feet, to be devoted to the
free use of the public as readins-room.
We shall furnish it neatly With chairs,
tables, writing materials, etc. etc., and
shall always keep on hand supply Of
pipes and the best smoking tobacco, and
shall also furnish to the hG6itHss Of the es-
tablishnent free tickets for drinks at Frank
Uhrs next door. Our exchanges from all
parts of the world will be left there on the
arrival of each mail. All this will cost a
pretty round sum, but that is no consider
alton compared with the welfare of immor-
tai souls. The editorial corps ofthis Office, if
not already damned to the neither he'll, are
swamping their souls beneath load of
profanity that would sink the Great East
ern, if oaths only weighed half an ounce
apiece. Hints appear to be of no avail,
and our little seven-by-nine sanctum is
filed half the day by men who have no
business in it, or having Eve minutes
business, prolong their stay by the hour.
This renders editorial work impossible
and interferes with and actually prohibits
the transaction of any private business
whatever. There is no resource but the
free reading room.

"c1A1Ms ON THE people"

The Enterprise of this morning has one
of those little pieces of ''gag" which used
in ancient days to be all the so in political
campaigns, but which are most essentially
played out in these latter days of better
sense and dearly bought experience. 1t
asks what "claims" Mr.. Day has upon
the people. Mr.. Day has no "claims"
upon the people, and we take the plain
and impregnable ground that any man
who comes before the people as candi-
date and presents "claims" at their head
and demands their suffrages, is a presump-
tuous demagogue, and deserves the popu-
lar boot applied to his stern with accuracy
and force. If any candidate upon any
ticket now before the people is running
on "claims" We should like to know it,
and it will afford US pleasure to give him
and his claims what is known as an
Irish hyst." The correspondent asks
teho Mr.. Day is, and the Enterprise feigns
to not know. We have stated, and viii
state again, that James NJ. Day is at pres
ent Superintendent of the Yellow Jacket
mine, and viii be the next Sheriff OF
Storey county. He may not be known
to Merchant" but he is known to enough
miners and other citizens of this county to
place him in position where he will be
known to the whole community, and
Merchant" may perhaps before the year
is over see red flag over his own door
announcing that James NJ. Day, Sheriff
of Storey county, has taken possession
thereof.

11rnrc1ARY MATTERS.

The understandable interference of Cali
fornia politicians and officials in our Ter
ritorial affairs will probably bring every
thing to stand-still, SO far as the appoint
ment of a successor to Judge North is
concerned. A dispatch from Gov. Low
to the Lawyers Committee says:
"h my Judgment, no action should be
taken until the fate Of the Constitution is de-
cided. The President is so advised. -,
"F. F. Low"
May the devil fly away with both Gov.
Lows judgment and his internal impu-
dence. The people of this Territory, with
an unanimity that has no parallel, called
for change in the Judiciary. Through
the resignation of Judge North, an oppor-
tunity for such change was presented.
The Bar of this District unanimously
agreed upon successor to the vacant
Bench; but the judgment of F. F. Low
runs counter to the wishes of this people,
and those wishes go to the wall. This is
sweet state of affairs for men that think
themselves free white citizens to have to
submit to-isn't it, This one shameful
outrage should be sufficient to marshal
every man in the Territory at the ballot
box on the seventh of September, to vote
Constitution, Yes" and put an end to
our miserable and degrading serfdom.
Judge Turner, it is said, having got be-
yond the frowning gaze of the indignant
attorneys who filled the Bar of the Su-
preme Court last Monday, has retracted
his resignation, and still presumes to hold
his Office of Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court. We have heard it stated that, SO
conscious Is he of the utter detestation in
which he is held by the people, he has
expressed fears of suffering personal vio-
lence, and that his Carson friends, joining
in that apprehension, have stated that
"two hundred armed men would defend
Judge Turner from assault" Verify,
"the wicked man feeth when no man
pursueth." The people have had enough
OF Judge Turner, but he will suffer no
violence at their hands, save such violence
as his feelings may sustain from the vote
which they will cast on election day.
They will overturn the miserable shadow
of government under which we suffer, and
with it will overturn the rotten bench
which Judge Turner occupies. That will
most effectually "let out" the whole con-
Germ, and the matter of designations
will amount to nothing.

Boiled wire is used by some telegraph

process it receives a coat Of glazing, which

The Union says that

represents its position on the one-ledge
theory. 1t is in error SO far as we are
concerned. We published its comments
on the late decision rer6dtis ct Eteratins,
and understood its position to be just
what it states this morning -only, per-
haps, little more so. Not that it pre-
cisely approved" of the decision, but
that it was staggered by the arguments
upon which it was based, and would re-
quire further argument TO overthrow its
convictions. We also thought that the
Union regarded the decision more in the
light Of a hnalty than its remarks this
morning would imply. At all events. we
gave the exact remarks Of the Unioa, and
SO cannot be justly charged with misrep-
resentation. None was intended, at any
rate.
