COUNTY BouNDARrEs.-In another column
will be found the new law defining the boun.
diaries Of the counties of Placer, Sutter and
Sacramento. The bill was passed to settle
more particularly, the vexed question Of the
boundary between Placer and Sutter, and it
will now probably be permitted to remain
as at present adjusted. Two years ago, the
fuba and Sutter delegations, in the Legisa
ture, managed to overreach the Placer rep.
resentatves, and obtained change in the
boundary by which Placer lost about $4,000
acres of Territory. We were the first to
discover and call attention to the loss we
had sustained, after the law was published,-
which was after the adjournment of the Leg
lsla'ure-but our representatives, as we'll as
their party organ. denied with much warmth,
that single acre had been taken from the
county. And even as late as last f.l, one of
the Assemblymen, who was seeking re,
nomination, boldly asserted in the Union
party nominating Convention, that it was a
monstrous falsehood that any territory bad
been lost to US by the legislation defining
the boundaries Of Sntter comfy. But the
Convention failed to re'nominate the gente-
man who came so near legislating himself
out of the county without being aware Of it,
and selected candidates who early made it
their business, when the Legislature con-
vened, to set about recovering the territory
that our grasping neigbbor had succeeded in
getting away from Us. The contest was
made with much spirit on both sides, but
finally the bill, which we now print, was
passed as compromise, although not en-
,lreiy satisfactory TO Sutter county. BY it
We dot fully recover as much territory as we
lost, but in the matter of the acquisition Of
taxable property, We are, or will be the gain
ers. We also part with all swamp lands-a
kind of property not very deirabe to have,
1t we Judge by the experience some Of the
other counties are having in swamp land
matters. The new boundary is run upon
the United States surveys Of townships and
sections, instead of a diagonal line from
Camp Far West on Bear River TO the Sac.
ramento River, as heretofore, and is more
satisfactory, as it will be more easily trace.
able, and will not make inconvenien. divis'
ions of farming property AS before, BY which
owners were compelled to assessment and pay
ment of taxes in both counties. On The
whole the new boundary is much to be pre-,
terred to the old one, and will perhaps give
AS general satisfaction, to the citizens imme-
dialey interested, as any that could have
been adopted; and we hope we are relieved
from the fiibuslering efforts Of Sulter coun.
ty in the future

The Breinig Fal-eh cod.

The negro suffrage organ is endeavor-
ing to make political capital out of re-
mark attributed to Mr.. NJ. J. BREISIG.
candidate for Clerk OF the Circuit Court.
in relation TO the disturbances last
Saturday night. 1t alleges that Mr..
BREINIG said: I've ought to go down
and clean out the damned place, (mcan-
ing the LaBelle store), and burn it,"
This falsehood, when asserted by the
radical sheet on Monday morning, was
deemed too contemplate for notice.
But il was twice repeated yesterday
morning in the same sheet, and the
repetition of the lie demands its denial.
With a full knowledge Of the circum-
stances under which il is alleged that
Mr.. BREINIG made the remark above
quoted, we pronounce the story SANDER
Ous and false. Mr.. BREINIG nerer made
the remark attributed to him by the radical
organ. This, Mr.. B. is,willing to swear
before any person authorized to admin
lister oathS, and any man who
knows the character of MICHAEL
BREINIG, knows that such remark as
that attributed to him is completely at
variance with his usual manner of
speaking, and bears in itselfthe evidence
ofits own improbability. The assertion
Of the radical organ is deliberate false
hood, concocted for political effect. 1t
was intended to injure worthy citizen
against whom not one word can truth
fully be said. The attempt made serves
TO show how destitute of arguments the
radicals have become, and to what mis-
cradle eIpedients they are willing to re-
sort in their effort to escape the condem-
nation of the people. 1t will, in the es-
timation of all good and honorable men,
recoil with terrible force upon the heads
of its inventors.

the face of the earth. 1t was not for
this that the soldiers shed their blood.
It was not for this that the people sub

that borne by any other people on

this that men have endured

joyed. And yet the very men who have
thus Knocked and disappointed the ma

union instead of the Union for which
they shed their blood; these very men
now have the impudenee to pretend

risy! Down with radical Gisunionism
and false pretense. And let these fanat-
ical tricksters know that the sacrifices

The Radical Procession Toni ght

We repeat and insist upon the coun-
selwe have heretofore given to our friends
in relation TO the radical procession
tonight. We earnestly hope that not
the slightest indignity may be offered
to the procession, but that, so far rs lies
in the power of conservative citizens,
it may be permitted to pass decently
and in order. We would rather sec it
guarded through the streets by Gordon
of Democratic police, than to see one
stone thrown at any of the Transparent
cies or the men bearing them, by any of
our party friends. The radicals have n
right to hold their meetings, and to
march in procession for political pur-
poses. We claim the right for ourselves,
and insist upon conceding it to our cp-
ponents. 1t matters not that they have
repeatedly interfered with our
privileges in this regard, or
that, so far as they had power
to do SO, they have trampled upon free
speech and every other right that we,
rs American citizens, hold dear. 1t
matters not that they have violated the
laws, stoned our professions, and at
tempted to murder the men who took
part in our political demonstrations.
Their crimes will not Justify us in re-
sorting to similar sutrages. We have a
principle at stake which must not be
forgotten nor disregarded. We believe
in freedom of political discussion and
party action within the bounds pre-
scribed by law. Let us be careful to
live up TO that belief and accord TO our
opponents that liberty which they
are too bigoted 10 show 10 us.
10 TINS course we are also influenced
by every consideration of sound policy.
Let the Radicalf enjoy all the credit
they can gain by their acts of ruffian-
ism and lawlessness. Let our opponents
monopolize the business of stonipr no.
litical professions and disturbing polit-
ical meetings. They are welcome to all
the votes that can be made in that way.
We prefer to have the support of the
orderly and the law-abiding; We prefer
to merit the appreciation of the quiet
and peaceable citizens of the community
rather than to enjoy the praises of row.
dies or to be dependent upon them for
political success. There is no danger
of the defeat of our county ticket, il
we but attend properly to the legiti.
mate work of the campaign and let our
opponents go their way without mo-
lestation. -'@f
We trust therefore that each Demo
crat in all the city will consider that he
has the honor Of the party in his person

They Want the Negro Vote.

The rank and file of the radical party
are coming to the support OF negro SUI
frape more rapidly than we expected
they would. The leaders have based
the doctrine upon the ground of party
necessity, and the little whippers-in and
pot-house politicians of the party are
taking up the cry. The negroes must
be permitted to vote, or the party will
be defeated, and the politicians turned
out of office. They must have the negro
vote in order to retain their power.
Here and there they may elect a negro
TO office in order to secure for themsel-
YES the support of his tar heeled and
thick skulled friends. The necessities
of the party are paramount to every
consideration of decency, safety,
or pride of race, and by de-
grees the rank and file will embrace
the doctrine of negro suffrage, swallow
all their former declarations, forget
their white manhood and cater to the
negroes to secure their votes. We hear
almost every day of radicals within our
own acquaintance, saying they would
rather vote with a negro than with a
copperhead; that negro has as good
right to vote as an Irishman or Ger
man has; and thus rapidly advancing
10 the consummation of all the disgust
ing ideas Of negro equality advocated
by THEODORE TILToS and other leaders
of the radical party. Unless the radi-
cal party is defeated at the polls, negroes
will vote in West Virginia in few
years, and we will find the very same
men who now deny that they are in ia
vor of negro suffrage, hOb-nobbing with
negroes in the saloons just before the
election, appealing frantically through
their newspaper 10 their african
fellow citizens and almost lit
orally getting down upon their
knees before the negroes, begging for
their votes. Ii would tend considera-
bly, to relieve the anxiety of Ohio conn
ty radicals if they expected 10 be able
TO bring five hundred negroes to thr
polls tomorrow to counteract the vote
of an equal number of intelligent white
men; and to enable them to do this at
some future election, is the aim of theii
strenuous endeavors now. Whoever
wants to aid them in the attempt will
vote the radical ticket; whoever be-
lieves a white man better than a negro
will vote the ticket headed by Colonel

Democratic Rally at Benwoed.

E' itors of the Register.
The only opportunity the citizens OF
Benwood have had of holding Demo
cratic colsultatiOn was on Saturday
night. in which all of our loyal male
population of the neighbOrhood partici-
pated, making an audience much larger
than any of lis had expected.
The meeting was presided over by
Mr.. John Quigly, and was called for the
purpose of confirming the nominations
of our county officers. The candidates
whose nominations were thus confirmed
are as follows:
For House of Delegates, j. ID. Morris
and VIM. Z. Davis for Prosecuting
Attorney, James McCarrier; for Sheriff,
Enos Howard.
After these nominations had been rat
flied, Mr.. J. II. Good and Geo. Daven-
port were called upon, both OF whom
made stirring and effective speeches.
When these gentlemen were through,
resolutions were offered most cordially
endorsing the policy of the President,
together with the Philadelphia and
Parkersburg Conventions, each ofwhich
was enthusiastically and unanimously
adopted.
Marshall county is coming out, and
you may hear news next Thursday that
at present you do not expect.

Radical MObocracy.

Ritchietown was not the only place
! in which the mob spirit of the radical
party was displayed last Saturday
night. In East Wheeling, number of
of stones and other missiles were hurl-
ed at the procession to the imminent
danger of the lives of those who We're
standing upon the sidewalks as well as
of those who were engaged in the dem
onstration. In East Wheeling, lady
who was standing upon the pavement
was struck on the arm by stone thrown
by some radical Oh the other side of the
street, and painfully bruised. Her arm
was rendered useless and it was, for
some time, supposed that it was broken.
A surgical examination showed that the
bone was not fractured, although the
muscles were terribly bruised. In an
other instance, in the same locality, a
stone which had been thrown with suf-
icient force to kill any person whom it
might strike, passed within u few inches
Of the head of a lady who was stand
ing upon the sidewalk, and struck the
wall of the house behind her. 1t was in
East Wheeling also, that the pyramid
transparency, belonging to the Work
mems Association, was assaulted and
one of its managers seriously. hurt.
The assault upon the procession was
neither more nor less than manifesto
ton of the same lawless spirit that has
mobbed public speakers in various pOr-
:ions of the State and has driven peace
able and law-abiding citizens away from
the polls on election day. We know
that there are many men in the radical
party who do not approve of these
things, bat it is remarkable fact that,
in this State at least, members of the
radical party alone have been guilty OF
these outrages. Evenin counties where
nine-tenths of the people are distran-
chised and are writhing under every
indignity that petty malevolence or
executive partizanship can invent, the
radicals have been permitted TO hold
their meetings and deposit their ballots
in peace. 1t is only the rutfians who
vote with and disgrace the radical party
who have ever been the aggressors i'll
any political outbreak or row in West
Virginia. How men who desire to see
peace and the enforcement of the laws
for the redress Of grievances can lend
their support TO men who practice, en-
courage or permit such things, is mys-
terry we do not pretend to explain.

Work To-day.

We would remind our friends that
there is a vast amount of political work
to be done to-day. Lay aside your usu-
al business and see that the interests OF
the campaign are properly cared for.
Don't depend upon Committees. Go and
attend for yourself to whatever may
suggest itself to you as ilnportantto to be
done. Be satisfied that every arrange
ment for bringing out the full vote to-
morrow is made perfect. Don't omit
any effort OF any sacrifice that may be
necessary to bring conservative voter
TO the polls. We owe it to ourselves to
infict upon our opponents an over
whelming defeat tomorrow, and we Will
do it if we do but half what we can.
