THE WAY


piece of ~pasteboard not so large as the
palm of lady's hande Can't we, at this
safe distance-and considering their pro-
verbal contemptfor talk-can't
we comment about and even illuminate
against our lords and mastersa We take
out sixty millions of bullion, and most of
US can whistle in the mine-caves for a
recompensing echo. The stuff has been
filtered through the ocean-border State
Front street commisserates us, and the
metropolitan board of brokers love us as
vultures and wolves love sheep. And it
Is a great wonder, all things considered,
that Nevada folks have had few words to
complimentary return to the "parent
sister" Why, every month the Bulletin
has a travelling or occasional correspond
cnt's letter from here, or ~hereabouts, in
which the world is appalled, at the petering
out of the Comstock and all its suspected
adjuncss. And yet VIC say nothing-as it
were something at our peril to do so.
Friend reader, don't then infer or imagine
from this that we propose or desire to
pick up q systematic quarrel with the re-
naming inhabitants of the Golden State.
Nay, verify. But this is an excuse, if
need be-so delicasely disposed have we,
with all others similarly situated, become
an excuse for offering an original word
on the political condition of affairs across
the mountains.
Low has withdrawn. In so doing, he
took himself out of gun-shot, and nothing
but thunder from a rile-cannon can reach
his retirement. Twenty papers in the
State have become fairly infatuated in the
business of "cussing" him finging
clubs and animalized earth at the lowly
candidate with unmerciful and unrelent-
ing ferocity. Even now, journals that
started after him with the shout Of "goug-
ing gore" are driving their t~humb-nails
into the deserted battle-ground under the
evident and painful hallucination that the
Poor Indian Is lying low under the sod
sheet DER which his withdrawal was writ
ten. And some of the anti-Low-Con
nessites (there were shoulder-hitters on
both sides,) are beating the mir with des-
perase and exhausting force Of muscle.
What business had F. F. to get out of the
way just as the thing was becoming emf
nently interesting with he, the aforesaid,
as the target for the prime bully-raggers ,
And, il is %intimated, there is something
specially mean in this-a deep damnation
in this self-taking of. Why not wait for
a glorious pistol blaze, and not retreat
under the comparatively harmless spilling
and crashing of stale spit-pots: And
then, what insufferable for O
man to say, a retire for the good Of the
Union cause; elect n good man to the
place I have striven for" Letting up on
the primary boys just at the propitious
hour when they most expected; and fill
ing up the space which he evacuated BY q
standing column of moral advice. This
conduct is intolerable. And so, sure
enough, creased columbiads do continue
to boom and bang against the shut guber-
material office door.
And, Conness what does he mean by
keeping so persistently out of sight, under
the vines of his Georgetown garden :
His speech ut Placerville is worn out as a
body of texts for damning. Why don't
he shoot his speech again? Where is his
posi-: What does he really think of mig
gers; What are his revised conclusions
as TO the authorship of the China Mail
Bill: We've had enough Of his tedious
reticence Speaking still for his constitu-
ents). Has he no apology to the Dutch
Flat Toll-road Company, for presuming to
say that the best railroad route across the
mountains had not been selected: Is lie
as bad off as Dickens John Brodt-when
appealed to by his sweetheart for somere-
marks, while she was enjoying the atten-
tons of his young and tidy rival "Say
sum'at: Say sum'at:" damn it, l
can't-how can :"
And Sargent hasn't said q thing. and
the San Francisco county election-pri-
mary-has passed off without slaughter 4;
and FELTON, has swept the board at half
the usual fees in such cases demanded by
the workers. More sorrow at q deficient
basis for anger is expressed in the leading
combative journals of California, during
the past few days, than we remember to
have seen on the drape for many a year
gone by. The question Of Specific Con-
tract repeal seems likely to resurrect a
breeze of healthy vigor. When the leaves
straighten out for a new, tough rustic, we
will make a note of it in q modest para
graph. In this article We have undoubt-
edly trespassed upon the State rights OF
our former State brethren. A general
scope, make-mention, discursive notice of
their own domestic partizanship is indeed
objectionable on higher grounds than the
common policy of paternal non-inter-
ference. Whether Shafter and Phelps will
now take up the ring fight or open a love-
feast, is a question on which depends all
hope for a moderately cnlivened cam
paign.
