A DANIEL Cone TO JUDGNEST.-Since
the defeat of Judge North in the Conven-
ton, he has become a sort of demi-god in
the eyes and estimation of those who
would not have scrupled to consign him
to infamy had he received the nomination
that he sought. The whole faction have
since his failure lauded him to the skies as
a perfect Solomon-the beau ideal Of all
that is great and good and wise. On
Saturday evening last, at the meeting at
Sutlife's Hail. they called him to the
stand, and wrung speech out Of him.
He made an exhibition of his wisdom and
sense of right, which must have sounded
anything but pleasant to those who forced
him thither. He announced himself as in
favor of the Constitution, and called upon
his audience to vote for its adoption.
Good for him In this, Judge North is
consistent, for he pledged himself to do so
in the State Convention and we are
sorry that we cannot award similar credit
to some of the other defeated candidates.
Judge North's word is evidently as good
as his bond.

MEAN.-We notice an article in the Sacra-
mento Bee, derogatory to the character OF
Mr.. Henry Edgerton, Of our Territory. There
are two fasehoods in the article, the trst
of which is, that Mr.. Edgerton was In the
Territory at the time of the delivery of the
Annual Address at the Territorial Fair. The
other is, that Mr.. E. was necessarily intoxi-
Gated. He has not, for months, tasted any
intoxicating drinks. We care nothing about
Mr.. Edgerton, but defend the right and op-
pose the wrong" no matter where found, is
our motto.-OM P1h Utah.
Our cotemporary at Washoe City is right
The dirty les which the Carson Independent,
the Copperhead sheet, the Aurora Times,
and several of the California papers have
been circulating for month past to the great
injury Of Mr.. Edgerton, have about gone far
enough. As is well known to the people Of
this Territory, Mr.. Edgerton had been Sc
lected to deliver the Annual Address before
the Territorial Fair, and about week before
the time, Mr.. Edgerton found it necessary to
90 over to Amador county to attend to several
important lawsuits. He accordingly notified
the committee having charge Of the business
of the Territorial Fair, and Mr.. Collins was
substituted. A dirtier falsehood never was
told to injure man. The individual who
spitefully originated the report that Mr..
Edgerton had been too intoxicated TO respond
to the call Of our late County Convention,
was taken to task for his lying story by MI.
Edgerton himself, and was made to eat and
swallow his own words, at the peril of receiv-
ing summary and well-merited castigation

FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR'S,
JAMES W. NYE
HENRY EDGERToN.

FALSE CouRAGE.-One of the reasons
urged by the speakers at the meetings OF
the opponents of the Constitution, why
that instrument should not be adopted, is,
that it contains an anti-duelling clause
that it prohibits duellists from holding
Office, and hence they dcnounce such pro-
vision as the towards OATH" The
"sprigs of chivalry" don't like this-of
course not. 4 law, even in the Conshtu-
ton, to prevent their hOurishing of pistols
and bowie-kniyes, they think is trespass-
ing upon their liberty" and as a eonse-
quenee such a proposition must be tyran-
ical. Hence, people ought to vote against
the Constitution. The prohibition is not
intended for intelligent and really coura-
ceous people, who can always settle their
little private difficulties without seeking
the blood of their fellow-men-but is in
tended specially for the real towards who
infest communities, the fellows who are
never seen. either by day or by night, in
or out of public assemblies, unless they
are armed with bowie-knife or pistol
who are inheritors of the brow-beating
localities they emigrated from, and who
are counterfeit imitators Of race of truly
chivalrous men who are no more.

TuRCAMPAIGN.

The war for and against the adoption OF
the Constitution wakes warm. and Is the
theme Of public discussion among all sorts
and conditions of men; and as the con-
test has only week longer wherein to
disturb the public mind, and at the end Of
that time will be settled definitely at the
ballot-box, the struggles Of the opposition
are most desperate. They resort to every
method to keep the matter before the pub
lie mind. Placards and banners, and
bands Of music, and all the pomp and
circumstance of glorious humbug, are the
"Tippecanoe and Tyler too" style Of
warfare and strategy which has been
adopted by them, and one which will
serve their purpose a good deal better than
the "fact and figure" programme Of the
Union. That paper, in its soundinss Of
public opinion, visits the various grosge-
ries in Virginia and this place, and takes
the vote of drunken bummers, at late
hour of the night, and publishes in the
morning the result of the vote taken by
these enlightened and intelligent citizens
as "straws." A small boy in Carson has
been heard to shout "Constitution, no "
and a correspondent of the Union findeth
consolation in this evidence of the wisdom
that cometh from the mouth of babes and
sucklings. Common Sense" and " Cos
mos" and host of other ANONYMOUS cor
respondents flood the columns Of that
organ of chagrin and disappointment, each
after his sort contradicting his co-workers
and giving different and entirely opposite
reasons for his opposition to the Consti-
tuition. The sore-headed and disappoint-
ed office-seeker, the deceived miner, and
the rank secessionist, can each find conso-
la,ion and support in one column or other
of the Union, or he must be hard to please.
The mass of the people who favor the
adoption of the Constitution, are those
who mind their own business, and have
something to do besides brawlins around
the streets by day and listening to the
parasites of " Jimmy Buchanan at night.
One week from tomorrow ends the con-
troversy, and that will be the time when
the voices of the people will be felt if not
heard, and we abide the result with con-
fidence.

INCIDENTS AT TCHATTANooGA.-Th follow
ing is an extract from a private letter from
an officer: A great many prisoners have
been brought in. The charge of the army
on Mission Ridge astounded Bragg. Breck-
inridge's headquarters were on the Ridge, in
full view of our troops. The lady who lives
there told our troops the following: " Before
you all come up here, I asked Gen. Bragg,
what are you going to do with me, Gene
raj" He says to me, Lord! Madame, the
Yankees will never dare to come up here.
And" she added with blubber, ait was not
fifteen minutes till you were all around
her" " A big lot ofgraybacks were brought
in and halted right in front of where l stay.
l went to the door and heard the different
squads haliooing for their regiment; "Where's
the 24th Alabama !" "Is the 10th Georgia
here" ais there any South Carolina regi-
mcnt in that crowd!" The last question was
answered by big grayback: cd d-n
your South Carolina regiments; il it hadn't
been for you we wouldn't be here"

BENEVOLENCE.

Thomas Johnson and Capt. McClory,
of the Gold Hill Police, on Saturday.
made the discovery that worthy woman
and three small children, living in this
town, were in INDECENT circumstances.
They accordingly started little subscrip-
ton paper, and in the course of about
two hours had the satisfaction of pre-
senting to the woman a purse containing
one hundred dollars. The ceremony of
presentation was very plain and unosten-
tatious: Mr.. Johnson, accompanied by
friend, knocked at the humble home of
the poor woman, and inquiring of the
person opening the door whether she was
Mrs. -, was answered in the afirma
tive. "Well, madam, here is something
from the boys" and without waiting to
make any explanation, placed the purse
into the hand of the woman, turned and
walked of, while the surprise to the poor
woman was such that she could only re-
spond in chicken accents, while food of
tears spoke her thanfulness more plainly
than words. Whenever there is call
upon the benevolcnce of the public heart
of Gold Hill, it invariably answers freely
and bountifully. Only the night before,
at a meeting of perhaps two hundred and
fifty persons, held at yesey's Hall merely
to discuss politics, the neat sum of $2S4
was subscribed to the Volunteer Fund.
We trust that when the election comes
of, one week from tomorrow, every
voter, as he comes upto the polls, will not
neglect to remember the Soldiers Ballot
Box with little gold or silver ticket-a
ticket which will carry to the heart of the
donor a throb of pleasure which no vote
for" or "against" " the Constitution can
afford, as its bestower reflects that it is to
assuage the suferings of the sick and
wounded soldiers who are fighting to
maintain our nationality. As the people
of Gold Hill. in proportion to popula-
ton, have excelled all other localities in
this Territory in contributing to the Sani-
tary Fund, we trust they will not lose
any of their prestige in this regard on
next election day.

REBEL PANIC ARROAD-THE RATS DE-
sERTING THE SHIP.-A letter from London
gives some important information regarding
the present aspect of rebel affairs abroad.
The rebel agents, it appears, abandoning all
hope of inducing the British Government to
allow the rams to depart have sold them to
the Admiralty. Convinced that their cause
is hopeless, they have wisely determined to
provide for themselves while there is yet
time, as they can never again return to this
country. The amount which they have re-
ceived is not stated; but it must be good
round sum, sufficient to keep them in clover
for the rest of their lives. 1t is question
whether any share will be reserved for the
arch traitor whom they acknowledge as mas
ter. When he reaches England, If ever he
does get there, it will probably be to find his
minions turn their backs upon him, and
leave him to drag out in poverty the remain
der of despised existence.-Ne,o York Her.

BEFoRETH PEoPLEi

That the present Organic Act Of Ne
vada Territory requires the Legislature
to levy tax upon mining property, just
as much as any provision in the COnsttu-
ton. The Organic Act distinctly says
"Nor shall any discrimination be made
in taxing different kinds Of property but
all property subject to taxation, shall be
in proportion to the value of the property
to be taxed"
VIII any man in his senses pretend to
say that property in mines, or interest in
mining operations, are exempt from tax
alton under this law, which now governs
US as Territory? ? Let any one go and
ask the Assessor of Storey county, and
see whether the Gould S Curry mine is
not assessed, or whether any of our mines
which are producing their hundreds OF
thousands annually, are not upon the As
SCISSORS roll. Let US see whether there
is any difference, then, in the Organic Act
and the provision ON taxation in the pro-
posed Constitution, and here is what the
latter says on this subject:
"The Legislature shall provide by law for
a uniform and equal rate Of assessment and
taxation, and shall prescribe such regulations
as shall secure a just valuation Of all pro-
mines and mining property; excepting such
property only as may be exempted by law for
municipal, educational, literary, scientific or
educational purposes"
The one merely provides that "no dis
elimination shall be made" and the other
provides that it shall be " uniform" The
only difference is a choice of terms, both
expressing the same idea. The Constitu-
ton mentions "all property" including
mines" Its meaning would have been
precisely the same had the words Gin
cluding mines" been omitted. Those
words are mere surplusage. We tell the
people frankly and honestly that this
opposition to the adoption of the Consti-
tuition upon the ground of taxation, is ga
man of straw" and the people should
know it. Disappointed oftice-seekers- =
men who have been the first to make q
political slate" with their own names
upon it, are the head and front of the op-
position to the organization Of State
Government. 1t is true, however, that
there are many who honestly entertain
opinions adverse to the proposition, but
they have based their opinions principally
upon what has been told them by the
leaders, and without fair and true in
vestisation of the subject for themselves.
We appeal to every intelligent voter to
examine this subject for himself.
