A wELL-MERIrEp REDUCE BY A


SOA146ns
Harry Mighels, in his yesterdays Ger
son Appeal, who has seen and participat d
in seven campaigns, where Col. John
Cradlebaugh has witnessed one, criticises
and severely rebukes the Colonel for his
" Independent candidacy course. 1t
will be conceded that Harry has a special
and incontestible right so to do; is not
amenable to any retort on his words by
way ofdepreciasingly comparing his service
for the Union with that of the Coloners.
Harry reports the Colonel as stating his
opposition to employing freedmen in the
construction Of the Pacific Railroad. No
true citizen, it seems to US, can fail to
concur in the structures. By whatsoever
honest human means the rail can soonest
be laid across the continent, let those
means be employed. We want a man IN
Congress of this disposition ; not a person
who will sit in his seat and mutter and
yell niger" and vote against Railroad
measures because he thinks he sees black
skin covered muscle toughened in the
grading service. As well and as wisely
object to the iron rails-because they are
black. Out! with this cursed, sinking
and all. hindering prejudice against the
negro. Besides, IN most instances, it's an
afectation, a clsp-trap attempt to resort to
old antipathies, for d~emagogue advance
ment. A black man may give his own
hue. with a polish of vengeance, to Col.
Cradlebaugh's boots; but he must keep
his hands off a spade or pick or bar pur-
chased for operative service in building
continental Railroad! What contempti-
BILE trash. Amounting, however, to no
greater practical matter than a clean-out
clincher for the ignominious defeat Of the
Caucasian Colonel-if he persists in run
ming on his independent and unique plat
form. A man who now undertakes to
say that a certain class Of human beings
shall nowhere have a contributing employ
meut toward the construction Of the Ma
tional highway is alien in sentiment, and
is a poor fool to imagine he can get the
people of Nevada to support any claim of
his for political, representative prefermens.
The Dutch Flat Company may employ
ten thousand Cinnamon (here's our license
to them) for their work land id be he
first rises in Congress to utter one sylla-
bic OF complaint on that score. When
shall we have done with the nonsense Of
niggerism. Let it not henceforth hinder
the prosecution of Railroad work. though
it must needs continue to debauch the po-
litical mind of Col. John Cradlebaugh.

MAJOR GENERAL MEAeHER.-The great
Irish American champion for Freedom and
the Union, Thomas Francis Meagher, will
arrive by this mornings coach, en- route to
u sister Territory, Montana, as its Sec
rotary. His anxiety to reach that field Of
future labor, will urge him, as we under
stand. to leave here by the first coach
starting north-a circumstance that our
citizens will deplore, as we would like to
nave the honor Of his ~sojourn in this "City
of the Saints a week or so, at least. But
.'busiuess is business" with him-wheth-
er, at the head of the "Irish Brigade" de-
Tending with glorious gallantry the flag Of
his adopted country, or at the helm of a
Territory, turning his time and talents to
that Territory's good. The honorable
record of this exile-patriot and scholar,
statesman and true soldier, is familiar to
u readers. He is none of those mush-
room men Of the times, but a name two
nations honor and two peoples praise.
Let his short stay be pleasant as his patri-
otism and position merit.-Sak Lake We
Gette.

CLEANING UP.

Every ten days or two weeks our mills
"clean up" Then they know the worth
of a for,night's smashing and boil and
bubble. As soon as Nevadans, as a peo-
pie, have gathered the fruits Of their in
dustry it has gone out from our midst
never to return. Leave out Sandy Bow
ers' place and, perhaps, SOM brick houses
in Aurora, and there is not a stable, fixed
work Of art in the State, produced from
the prolific earnings Of the mines. 10
except in this the chambers Of the mines
themselves would not not at all serve the
point of this suggestion not until beau
,iful houses and homes adorn the land
shall we commence to count our righful
local prosperity. When will that be:
When we have a railroad. Not before.
In no section of the world, we undertake to
say, will such a change on the face Of ma
ture be wrought as in Nevada when the
locomotive has his track and his daily and
it may be hourly vibrations across our
borders. Then will the desert places in
deed be made glad, in most complete and
literal ful6llment of the Scripture express
sion. In the very midst Of sandy fats, so
bleak that it were fit they be made photo
graph types of desolation. there have been
discovered indications unmistakable OF
fine gold and silver deposits. Once a
railroad, and canals, Or artesian wells,
will bring abundant water to the long
parched soil, which needs only irrigation
10 become as capable of vegetable cultiva-
ton as star-actor Buchanan or any other
potato patch in the vineyard of all crea-
ton. Within one year after the conssruc-
ton of a railroad over the mountains,
Gold Hill and Virginia City will have at
leas, 10000 inhabitants ; Won Schmidt
will complete a sensible project for bring
ing Lake Tahoe to our sinks, lager will be
ten cents per quart. and, possibly, the
Enterprise may have as many subscribers
into one half as it nov claims-for a
harmless and amusing flyer. Such will
be among the good ard beneficial effects Of
a railroad to Nevada from the navieable
tide-waters Of the Pacific.

SUGGESTIONS TO BoHENIANs.-The VEN
cradle William Cullen Bryant gives the
following advice to a pedantic young cor
respondent. 1t will probably be useful
to writers for the Californian and other
Bohemian papers, who are in the habit of
cumming up their stuff with documentary
Latin and French:
MY young friend, I observe that you
have used several French expressions in
your article. I think, if you will study
the English language, you will find it ca
pable Of expressing all the ideas you may
have. I have always found it so, and in
all that I have written I do not recall an
instance when I was tempted to use a
foreign word, but that on searching l
found q better one in my wi language"

THE OFFENsE IS RANX.-We hold it in
excusable in any person, male or female,
when they subject us to an annoyance which
a very little trouble on their part would OBJ
viate. Especially is this the case where the
unfortunate possessor Of n bad breath will
persist in button.holding and intruding his
views upon US, to our manifest mental and
physical discomfort. If these good people
would use the SozoDoNT, it would not only
render them acceptable acquaintances, but
would at once greatly improve their teeth and
breath. Sold by all druggists.

ONE of Forney's papers, the Washing
ton Chronicle, declares that There is no
alternative but holding the Southern
States under military subsection for the
present, and for some time to come" This
may be regarded as a very significant as
sertion, as it is pretty generally conceded
tina. the Presidents mild policy, by which
he hoped to bring the Southern States
back into the Union without delay, has
not been met in such a spirit that promises
immediate success. Forney tells some
things by authority, and from all the cir
cumstances, we are inclined to believe
that this declaration is not made at ran
dom. As long as the Southern people
fsil to unite earnestly and heartily in the
work of paci6ca,ing the country no
alternative can be suggested for the con-
tinuance Of the military power over them
until they have learned wisdom under the
rigor of the rule they now elect to have.

NO SURE THING YET.

The result of the election has been con-
sidered as decisive on the question Of the
repeal Of the specific Contract Act, but it
is not absolutely so BY any means. 1
noticed that every Californian who returns
from the East now-almost without ex-
ception-speaks in favor of the adoption
of the national currency. Among those
whose prominent position gives weight to
opinion is James Speed. Esq, OF the new
United States and Pacific Telegraph Com
pany, who, I am told, says little on the
subject, but privately expresses it as his
decided opinion hat the Pacific States
made a terrible mistake in repudiating the
national currency. It is a noticeable fact
that many Of u leading wholesale deal
ers are laying in no considerable stocks Of
goods this fall, but are quietly withdraw
ing their capital and investing it in Gov
ernment and other securities. There is
no trade to warrant stocking up heavl-
", they say. Meantime the exodus from
our shores continues abated. The last
two steamers carried off nearly or quite
two thousand persons from our shores ;
twice as many as they will bring back,
and this, too, when our mines are yield
ing largely, the crops were never better
and ali the elements Of q healthy prosper
ity abundant in our midst. How is this {:
There is certainly something wrong some
tohsre.
