Of State Government, besides the privileges

WEAK STArEsNES.-The Sacramento
Union, abiding to the fact that when
Congress this summer had under consid-
Grafton an act appressiyely taxing the
mines of this coast, the delegation in the
lower House failed to exercise much in
Auence against its passage, and asks:
Scan it be said with truth that Cole, Highly
and Shannon are the strongest men the Union
organization Of California can find TO repre-
sent US at Washington Have we not among
us-to be more particular-three men whose
influence upon House disposed to tax the
mines would be more decidedly felt than were
the unayailing protests OF Highly, Shannon
and Cole at the late session Is the mate
rial for statesmen so scarce on this coast that
when mighty issues are to be determined BY
Congress we must be content 10 hear that
our delegation has voted right and not expect
il to sway the votes Of others by potential ar
guments The representatives OF the Pacific
coast are few in number; they should be
host in point Of intellectual force, in order
that our peculiar interests may not be sacri-
feed by ignorant legislation, and that we may
take worthy and prominent part in the de-
liherations OF the National councils. II we
haze three thoroughly loyal men, who pos
sess the energy, the tact, the culture and the
experience 10 secure and WELD command

tatiyes, We owe It to California's interests
we owe it to the country at large-we owe it
to the hopes inspired by the regeneration, of
the repubEc-to nominate and elect such men
this Fall"
As there is very strong probability of
Nevada becoming State this Fall. it
would perhaps be as well for our people
to look around and see who would best
represent our important mining interests
in the National councils. Nevada must
have somebody at Washington 10 repre-
sent her vast interests.

A SPURIOUS NOMINATION.


We learn from the Enterprise that the
proceedings of the recent Territorial Con-
vention were entirely irregular and illegi6
mate, and that the nomination of Thomas
Fitch for Delegate to Congress was in fact
no nomination at all, and of no binding
effect on the Union Party. That paper
says:
sit requires majority of any assembly to
constitute quorum; and without 4 quorum
mo business can be regularly transacted.
Now for the application Of these remarks.
A Territorial Union Convention, to consist Of
ffty-6ye delegates, was 10 convene at Carson
CITY, on Wednesday, August 10Th, 10 nomi-
nate Delegate for Congress. On the day
designated the Convention met. From the
published proceedings, which We presume to
be correct, the hfy-fve delegates Of she DIFF
fsrent Counties were represented as follows. "
Here follows the list, which shows that
there were but twenty-four delegates
present, and twenty-eight proxies.
There tras noe a gssorua of the CoRrsntion
present. IL could do nothing LegitSmately 6aEt
adjourn. But the learned minority that was
present, with q wisdom that seorned Jeffer-
son, Cushing, and every other standard par
Humanitarian, proceeded to permanent or
ganization and the nomination OF Delegate
for Congress Their ignorance alone would
have rendered them contemplate; bat their
choice for Delegate makes them doubly so.
By every Just and parliamentary standard
their action was unwarranted. The whole
affair was farcical, llegitimate and abortive.
In vfevv of which we Fall unon the Chairman
TO issue call for new Convention imme-
diately."
Considering the manner of the nominal
ton and the unsatisfactory choice of
candidate, we earnestly second the call.

THE New TARIFF oP TIE UNITED
SrATEs.-The new tariff bill Just passed by
the Senate Of the United States makes, as
far as intention is concerned, a further con-
siderable stride toward prohibition OF foreign
commerce. But the total inadequacy OF the
manufacturing power Of the country to sup
ply the wants Of the people and Of the army
renders it impossible materially to check the
demand for European goods, and the chief
result therefore OF each increase of duty Is
that it enables the home manufacturers to
increase to that extent their charges
for all such goods as they have the means
Of supplying. The altered scale now about TO
become law, raises the duty on woollen arti-
cles from thirty-6ve per cent, its present
rate, to forty per cent. ad valorem, which, as
it is payable in gold, is equal, in the existing
state Of the market, to about ninety per cent.
In paper currency. FlAnnels are increased
in rate from eighteen to twenty-four per cent,
steel manufactures from thirty-6ye to forty
per cent, and tea from ten pence per pound
to ten pence per pound and ten per cent. I'D
yalorem.- London Times,
The Call says that E. A. Pollard, who Is
now prisoner at Fort Warren, was former
ly citizen Of San Francisco, and connected
with newspaper in that city as law report
er. Il says he was at one time connected
with fellow named Walton, who was sent
to the Oregon Penitentiary, and who was the
better man Of the two. Il says no conf
dence can Be placed IN Pollard's word, and

rRopIaToUsti!


The Virginia Union of this morning pnb-
fishes the following rsSaatiOa q Of the
charge of corruption made against the
Judges of this Territory by nearly four
thousand of our citizens. Hear and
tremble:
"HoN. JOHN W. NoRra.-It is perhaps
known to some Of our readers that this gem
tleman, now one Of the U. S. Judges in Ne
vada Territory, has been assailed BY personal
and political opponents during the past year,
affecting his official honor and integrity. We
have been permitted TO read private letter
from a citizen Of that Territory in relation to
this matter, which we would, but for its length,
be plad to publish. It is sufficient, however,
to state that it is complete and full vindica-
tion of the character and conduct OF Judge
| North. and shows conclusively that he has
| been triumphantly sustained BY the voice Of
public opinion in that Territory. In this
STATE, .otere he IS so cell knoaca,, has enemies
could nerer Adre dared to trhisper charge
of corruption, and we are not surprised 70
learn that among comparative strangers, the
purity Of his life has eonfounded all their
Vaccinations against him"
The Gaioa adds; IS
"The above paragraph is taken from the
St. Peter (Minnesota) Tribune. Comments
is unnecessary"
A very short comment is necessary.
The idea thatthe People Of this Territory
are Incompetent to judge of the integrity
or dishonesty of their own Judiciary and
of acts perpetrated in their midst, but that
they are to be instructed therein by an
unknown editor of an unheard-of news
paper, printed somewhere in the back
woods of the outskirts of civilization, is
rieA. The editor may be sincere enough
in his belief, but the fact that Judge North
may have had reputation for honesty
when he lived in country, the whole
real and personal estate of which would
not have been worth stealing, is not con-
Trajectory of the charges alleged against
him here. and proven to the satisfaction Of
this people. That nobody would have
a dared to whisper" such charges there,
weighs little against the palpable fact that
they do dare to make them aloud here, and
! put them down in broad, plain black and
white. By the way, we wonder if the
I" private citizen" who wrote that letter
to the backwoods editor. was not North's
" brother-in-law BE is the regular
Whitewater whose services North has
ever at command.

WAsmNeToN, August ia dispatch from
Grant reports his casualties by the explosion

twelve enlisted men, three citizens, and thir-
weight colored la6orers. Wounded, three
commissioned officers, four enlisted men, fif-

eighteen others not belonging to the wharf.
The damage to the property was large. The
cause of the explosion has not been ascer-
