g SUFFRAGE.

. The Cops Of this county, in their booty
conversational spoutings, announce that
they are going to raise the negro suffrage
question i'll the coming Congressional
canvass We have been puzzled, for some
time, to know the real reason of this
threatened issue-intrusion into the cam
paign. We have not a hundred black
men in this State; and how can the States
Rights howlers interfere in the domestic
affairs Of any other State: But we have
arrived at an understanding of the reason
for this proposed conduct of the Cops.
Having been whipped out all their pre-
tension to the name of decent white men,
they now desire to contend that they are
yet, intrins:cally, better than a niger!
We will hear them speak on this sub
ject. The discussion is between the Cops
and the full negro. We reckon the
former will get some doses of pepper and
salt, before the ball is over, that will
tickle their hides to a tantalizing pungency
of sensation. If a Cop. could mt shrek
"nigger" a dozen times in the course of
a Ave minute stump speech, he'd die OF
dehirium tremens. 1t s in the blood.

While Maury was satisfied in living at

charge of the great National Observatory,

working clerks to make up valuable re-

acquired fame for scientific research. But
as soon as the public bounty is taken from

o, YES!

How they are trying TO "wring in J"
Las, winter, when the game of the Con-
tederacy began to show sponge-up ten
denotes, the business of edging into favor,
covering q hideous past by various social
amenities, etc., was inaugurated in Viz
ginia city. Benevolent societies were
established, and traitor wretches, of
foulest record, were doctored into the
offices. Then Mcdowell was cajoled into
making an out and out "amenity party"
gathering, at the Occidental Hotel in San
Francisco. Now, and henceforth, they
will be Erst and foremost at receptions Of
all sorts-making addresses to Rosecrans
and signing petitions for Jef's pardon.
Do they think-no matter what partisan
distinctions may spring up and temporarily
disrupt-that a majority Of loyalists will
forget their cowardly treason: You and
all Of us, of like faith. can "afford" to
shake hands with a soldier from the rank
and file of the rebel army; but we shall
never forget nor fail to a~nnounce-at all
fitting times-the position occupied by the
Copperhead who now obtrudes and calls
himself a decent citizen.

FATE OF SOME OF THE LEADING
REBELS.

The Buffalo Courier, remembering that
a few months ago the civilized world was
eagerly watching the wayering fortunes of
the most gigantic rebellion Of modern
times, then raging with undated fury,
says now all are astounded at the sudden
and unprecedented collapse Of the So
called Southern Confederacy. 1t is curl
Gus to look around and see what is the
fate and whereabouts of the principals
among our recent enemies. Among the
civilians, jeff. Davis, ex-President, is at
Fortress Monroe; Alex. II. Stephens, ex-
Vice President. is at Fort Warren; John
II. Regain, Westminster General, is in
company with Stephens; Clement c. Clay.
ex-senator from Alabama, at Fortress
Monroe, arrested for completely in the
assassination of Mr.. Lincoln; Joseph E.
Brown, Governor of Georgia, in Old Cap
rtol Prison, at Washington, ; L. B. Vance,
in Old Capitol Prison, at Washington ;
Isham G. Harris, Governor of Tennessee,
is a prisoner with the army in the field ;
R. NJ. T. Hunter, ex-senator from Vir-
ginia, II prisoner at Richmond; John p.
Letcher, Ex-Governor Of Virginia, in the
Old Capitol Prison, at Washington; John
A. Campbell, late Judge Of the United
States Supreme Court, a prisoner at Rich

WHAT A PRoPHET.-Jef. Davis was a
worse prophet than he was woman. In
1861 he said
Your brother States will gladly come
into the Southern Confederacy within sixty
days, as we will be your only friends
England will recognize us, and a glorious
future is before US. The grass will grow
in the Northern cities where the pavements
have been worn by the trace of commerce.
We will carry war where it is easy to ad-
vance, where food for the sword and torch
await the armies in the densely populated
cities"
He never. Jaw much tickle grass or
mangel-wurzel growing il the streets of
Chicago, Albany, New York or Boston,
and his future visions will probably be
directed to specimens Of hemp alone.

PARDoNs.-The Secretary Of Rebellion,
L. P. Walker, who, shortly after the firing
on Sumter, predicted rebel triumphs
through Washington and up to Bunker
Hill. is now an applicant for pardon.
Governor Pierpont, Of Virginia, recon-
mends the pardon of James R. Anderson,
Of the Tredegar Iron Works at Richmond.
The President referred the case TO Judge.

pardon, and pronounces the Governor "a
fool" HoH on! You're level in the

II DIFFERENCE.

Californians are in the habit of looking
upon the State of Nevada as not amounts
ing to much, and hardly deserving of as
much notice as their county of that name.
Those who rest in the belief that the State
of Nevada is Of no more account than
that, must have crossed the plains, and
come through this country when the Com
stock was unknown, and must also have q
very poor opinion of American energy and
enterprise. A California exchange says ;
"Grass Valley township, the most popu-
lous and prosperous Of interior districts
now contains, aside from It's saw mills
twenty-five quartz mills, running two
hundred and eight stamps. Eight Of these
merely do custom work, and the remain
der are engaged in operating for their
owners" Well, that is pretty good Tor
the richest mining town in the richest
mining county of California. Twenty
two quartz mills in California are not
however, twenty-five Washoe quartz
mills. The mills of Grass Valley have an
average of less than ten stamps to the
mill. There are here, in Gold Hill, nine
teen mills, which have altogether, three
hundred and swenty-three stamps, or on
an average of Just nineteen stamps to q
mill. That is the difference. But the
Gold Hill mills do not crush half the
rock which is taken from the Gold
Hill mines. Down further, in Gold
Canon, and along the Carson river, in
Lyon county, there are thirty-six more
mills, with an aggregate Of FIVE hundred
and fourteen stamps, which work mostly
on Gold Hill rock. Gold Hill rock aver
ages about $50 per ton; California rock
is going to big figures if it yields at one
eth that rate. That Is another difference,
Six of the mines on the Comstock, last
year, alone yielded SlO,O72,S69 worth Of
bullion. They are specimens Of Washoe
mines. The rock of these six mines aver
aged $50 81 per ton That is a Washoe
yield. But a large class of Californians
have IN idea that the Comstock ledge is
the only one which is worked in this
State, and that the mills which are crush
ing Gold Hill and Virginia rock are the
only ones that are pounding out bullion
in Nevada. There is where they are de-
ceived again. In Esmeralds, lone, Hum.
ooldt, Reese River, San Antoine, and
divers other places, even on the forty-mile
desert-never to be forgotten by those
who %journeyed the plains across the
chatter of stamps is heard, and the silver
and gold Is brought forth from the rock,
at the rate of hundreds Of dollars to tht
ton. Let C%alifornians look at the return:
of bullion from this State, and then note
the improvements that are being made to
increase the amount Of the yield, and they
will have the mote removed from their
eyes. Let them compare the yield Of
rock from Nevada's mines with the yield
of ore from those of California, and they
will see the difference.

The TESTIMONY OF THE ~SKuLLs.-The
Examiner is terribly exercised about the
charge that Mrs. Suratt was a representa-
live Of a certain class Of Southern females
who have exhibited ferocious passions
against loyal men and the Government
during the war. What has he to say!
about those gay Richmond bellies who
sported the rings Gu, from the leg bones
of Yankees on the plains Of Manassas :
What about the parlor ornaments made
from the jaw. bones Of our soldiers: What
of the superb drinking cups made OF skulls
of Yankees, and from which Southern la
dies drank Confederate Beauregard toastsi
docs he think these things indicate the
existence of such a class Of women as that
spoken Of, or will he say that they comport
with the character of rue wornen every
twhere: -F2ao.

COMING DowS.-The last Grierson raid
has resulted-among other things-in de-
veloping the fact of the saving of an i'm
mense amount of cotton in the interior of
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. Con-
sequent on this intelligence, down goes
cotton at an immense sacrifice to Wall
street brokers in the royal article. How
long will the San Francisco merchants
manage to keep up the prices on this
coast: The eastern market prices for
eastern staples and manufactures ought to
be regularly copied by our journals from
eastern papers-not from the made-up re-
ports of the San Francisco Bulletin.
This would have a demoralizing effect on
the Bay wholesale haberdashers. We
hope, too, that California farm products
will take the Illinois term soon not,
however, wishing the ranchmen any loss
through the general gain: In Central
Illinois corr is from twenty-five to twenty
eight cents u bushel, and butter from
twelve to fourteen cents per pound. Old
prices for farm productions have re-
turned.

A II DEBT.

II any one thinks it is a foolish boast to
say that Nevada could soon pay of the
National debt-in amount Of silver and
gold yield-let them consider that the
amount of gold now in existence is esti-
mated at four thousand eight hundred and
sixty-two millions; Of silver, FIVE thou
sand seven hundred millions-making the
total Of precious metals now existing, ten
thousand five hundred and sixty-two
millions of dollars, with an average an
nual product Of gold throughout the
world Of over two hundred and seventy
one millions. It is stated by Silliman and
Blake, as well as by a host Of practical
miners, who have explored the developed
districts of the country, that $500, 00o, 900
worth of bullion product is not ar ex-
travagans figure for the mines Of Nevada
within ave years from the completion Of a
railroad through u borders. This sum
would be a little under one-twentieth Of
the total Of precious metals now existing
in the world, in exchange form. It is
only reasonable to suppose thar the yield
of California, Oregon and the mineral
bearing territories will amount, FIVE or.six
years hence. to an equal amount "a
thousand million a year of coinabls trea-
sure taken directly from our own mines.
Two years of such "amalgamasing"
would pay the entire National indebted
ness that will exist two years hence-if
we can appropriate the benefit of the in
ner fruit Of the Nations estate. It will
be as easy, fifty years hence, for Uncle
Sam to pay a bill of a billion, as it is for
Commodore Vanderbilt to settle a wash
