Hr.o1c wonAs-The Nevada Gazette Of Sat-

urday nys:
One Of the most remarkable exhibitions Of . mo-
TIERS daring and presence Of mind that we have
heard of for long time. took place at the village
of Washington one day last week. The circum-
stances are Is follows: Mrs F. T. Marker was
crossing the Yuba on foot-bridge, near Rocky
Bar, with two Of her children. One, babe.
she carried in her arms and the other, little girl
of about four summers. with . small basket In her
hand, followed close behind her. When about half
way across the bridge the little girl dropped her
basket into the water and in the excitement OF the
moment lost her balance and fell into the foaming
waters beneath. With remarkable presence Of
mind, the mother ran with her infant across the
bridge and laid it down on the bank. She then
hastened down to the water to recover her child
which was being whrled down stream by the rap
id current Fearlessy she plunged in. and although
the water was over her head, she succeeded in saw
ing her offspring from watery grave. 1t is quite
probable that the rapdity of the current may have
aided her somewhat in bringing her child to shall
low spot in the river where she could touch bottom
and reach the shore. Such heroism is worthy OF
note.

TEE RESULT IN RHK STATE.-So far as we can
judge, from the meagre returns in our Fridays ex-
changes, We are disposed to believe that the cleo
ton held on Wednesday last. has resulted in the
election of the Union candidates, Currey and
SWEET We do not regard this result as by any
means certain, for the vote is light and will be
found very close, whichever way the official count
may throw it. The retrrns are meagre from the
various counties, and we judge the result by the
vote in our own county, which seems to have given
the Union candidates a majority. SWEET runs
ahead Of Currey. which is probably, owing to the
efforts of Zach Montgomery to defeat him. The
people do not appear to be disposed to stand any
foolshness in connection with their pu bic school
system.

The African AT Home.

In the MacrG- cheek Press Of April 20, is
published letter from a "charming young
LADY, of ,Urbana, travelling in Europe, to
her family at home. The following extract
will be interesting to our re iders, as des-
criptiVe of the negro in his own land 1850
"We went as far south as most persons go
in this heather land, and visited 7Constan-
tine; there we saw African life to perfec-
tion. L cannot begin to tell you what a
poor, miserable, dirty. God-fOrsaken peo-
pie they are. They live in little huts about
three feet high, formed of sticks driven in
the ground, with some straw thrown loose
ly over the top. They subsist principally on
fruits which are so very plentiful, and cam
els or donkey's milk. We were in Africa
during their sRhamadan,' or fast, similar to
Lent with the Catholics, during which time
they are not allowed to eat, drink or smoke.
from sunrise to sunset. In Tunis, there
were one hundred men to be beheaded, as a
punishment for having broken their fast.
Obi they are a horrible, degraded, unciv-
ilized set L could tell you many more of
their Ijafbafous manners and customs, but
am afraid [ will weary you withlmy long
descriptions" rr
And the Mac-a-cheek Press and its Re-
publican eo-laBorers demand that this
''horrible, degraded unciyilized setp in
their own country. shall be made voters
here in Ohio and in the Southerns States. Is
this not drawing too heavily upon, the good
nature of the Whites? .----. s,~ s,tj,-,sa

is to be correspondingly extended, the

Very Sorry

Il
The Springfield Republic declares with
the sweetness for which it is so eminently
distinguished, that it has not ssa particle OF
confidence in the Copperhead Democracy
that ..rave, as much as they will about CIV
ing the Negro the BALLOT" they will take
and make oficeholders out of the Negroes
if the Republicans shall make voters out of
them, and in attestation of its assertion
claims that recently in Concord, New
Hampshire, the Democrats ran colored
man for Mayor against White man with
colored politics, and that it was as much as
the Republicans could do to defeat the col
ored man the Democrats ran against the
Republican nominee. The Republic don't
seem to like this. The Republicans of Con-
cord having made SO much ado over the
Negro, just as they are doing in this neck
of woods, the Democrats made practical
test of Republican love for the Negro.
They wisely concluded that if the Negro
is an Improvement on the White man, and
should vote, that, therefore, he should hold
office, and they tried to make Mayor out
of one to rule over the Republicans. Now,
if the Repa6lic distrusts the Democracy on
the Negro question-if it fears that the
Democracy will make Office holders out of
the Negroes if they. shall be made voters,
the best thing it can do is to assist in de-
feating the pending Constitutional Amend
ment. and the Republican party. In that
way it can deprive the ".Copperhead De-
mocraey'' of the luxury Of making Cover
nors, Legislators, Judges and Mayors out
of the Negroes. Does the Republic think
the Negroes should be allowed to vote, and
not to hold Office?

By a correspondence in our columns to-
day, it will be seen that Mr.. Brown still
lives, Notwithstanding he passed .ftty-nine
days without food. This morning he de-
sired to have some nourishment, stating
that the spirits were Withdrawing their
supplies, and as consequence there was a
desire for other nourishment. The gentle
man who has been so kind to furnish us
with information in relation to this won
derful case, has visited Mr.. Brown almost
every day for the last four weeks, and says
he is fully satisfied that he has not taken
food until this morning, when he took, a
little coffee and toast, which seemed to
strengthen him very much, sending his
pulse up from 80 to "a. We wait further
developments with interest.-DG Dayton En-

To give the reader something of an idea
OF the excessive taxation under Republi+
can rule, we give the following contrasts
made by the Ptttsbwg (Pa.) Repub1tc:
DEMOCRATIC APosTLEsHIP AND RRPUB-
LICAN RULE.-Thomas Jefferson was Presi-
dent OF the United States eight years, and
the Federal Government cost during that
period only $41, ,1O0787. /
The taxes OF the people of the State OF
Pennsylvania now in a single year exceed
double that sum-are over $100,000,000, or
seven per cent.
HEIGHT YEARS AND ONE YEAR.-The ex-
penditures of the Federal Government dur
ing MonrOe'S administration of eight years
amounted to only $l04, 1863, 446.. 81 -. g
The taxes of the State of Pennsylvania
for single year now amount to that sum.
The EDIFFERENCE.-Ourt taxes in this State
this year will be over one hundred millions
seven per cent. 4#
s. The second administrations of the Federal
Government under John Adams, four gears,
cost only one-fifth of that sunni
1917 AND 1S67.-From 1909 to 1917 James
Madison was President ofthe United States.
During those eight years we had the war
of 1Sl215. Yet the entire expenditures of
the Federal Government were only $l44,
6S4939. e
Now. in single year of peace, the sin
gle State of Pennsylvania is saddled with a
taxation of over $100,000,000. &.
We understand what is likely to be in
Cured by publishing the foregoing. The
Cincinnati Commercial will insist that. it
indicates purpose on the part of the Dem
ocratic party to go back to a cheap, sim
pie Government, and to "wholloping y
negroes.
