New HAMPSHIRE ELECTION com.
plete returns from New Hampshire, says the
N. Y. World, would make better show for
the Democrats than the estimate given by
us a few DAYS since. Subjoined are the fig
ures as compared with those of last year:
1867. ............ 39,S33 1886 2,os6
1t appears from this table that the Demo-
Gratis polled 2 $50 more votes this year than
they did last year, while the Republicans
were able to add but 61S to their vote OF
1866; or, in other words, the Democratic
gain is ITO per cent, and the Republican
gain only "a per cent. All the comfort
that the Radicals can derive from these fig
ures they are heartily welcome to.

THE GREEN EMIoRANT.-We have met
with several gentlemen during the past
week who have visited the Emigraut Quartz
Claim, three miles north of town. One ex-
pressed his opinion that he did not know
whether it would hold out or not, and anoth'
er characterized it as very rich. While
very positive friend of ours, declared it was
"the richest thing in the State" From ten
dollars up TO five hundred dollars TO the pan
is certainly rich. If there is any other quartz
claim in the State that can do better we
should like to hear of it, The section around
Auburn will yet surprise the State for its
richness in gold bearing quartz.

EEThe editor Of the Stripes gets in high
dudgeon because, in our last issue, we ex'
pressed the fact that the recent attempted
rape OF Poole's pet negro, was "simply nat
ural off shoot from the teaching of Radical
ISM" Notwithstanding the Stripes temper,
such is the fact. It is from the teachings Of
Just such political harlots as the editor, and
bis kind. that the negro has learned his ideas
Of equality. If you don't want negroes to
commit such acts quit teaching him the idea
that he is as good, if not better than any
white man.
Itis amusing to hear the editor of the Stripes
talk about "ilthy fings," when he has made
himself notorious as one Of the dirtiest filth
fingers" in the State. Hide your head.

FRIGurENED.-The editor Of the Stripes
has got a big scare on him. He is of The
opinion that the Democracy will carry Pla:
Ger county this year. Hear him in his issue
of the 1st inst.
"There are now something over 2,70O
names on the Great Register of our county,
and the best information within our reach
leads us to suppose that this number will be
swelled to nearly or quite 5000. The De-
mocracy are, for the first time in many years,
more compact and better organized than we,
and their best informed leaders very conf
IDENTIFY believe that they have reliable vo'
ting force of not less than 400 or 1900.
If as we think more than possible, this est-
mate is nearly correct, it must be apparent
that the work before us is no child's play"
With only 27O0 hundred voters on the
Register, and the Democracy having over
half that number, the aspect looks rather bad
for the slate makers And then the acknowl
edgement that the Democracy are better or
ganized than the Radicals. We are not sur
prised at this acknow ledglnent at all. If
the editor tf the Stripes and Sexton make up
few more states, we think the Abolition
party will become perfectly demorallzed.
The editor Of the Stripes comedies the
majority 10 the Democracy of Placer county,
and we intend TO hold it until the sun goes
down on election day. The negro equality ad.
vocated by the Radical leaders is sickening
to the masses of the people. They look to
the Democracy for relief

AN INDUSTRIAL STATE CoNvENTIoN.-The

4. To protest against the unjust burdens i'm
posed upon the productive industry of the coun-
Try by the present system OF taxation; and such
other measures concerning the welfare of the
State, and protection to the industrial interests of
the Pacific Coast as the Convention in its wisdom
may deem proper.

AMENDMENTS TO THE STATE CONSTITUTION.
AT the election in September the people
will be called upon to vote "yes" or "no" on
four proposed amendments to the State Con-
stituton; all Of which are important and
should be understood by the electors. These
proposed amendments may be briefly stated
as follows:
Ito abolish special judicial elections.
2.-To elect a State Superintendent of
Public Instruction in 1869, and every four
years thereafter.
3.--To authorize the Legislature to pass
law making the payment of poll tax pre-.
requisite to The exercise of the elective fran
chise.
4.-To prohibit the Legislature from MAX
ing any appropriation Of money, for any
purpose whatever, for longer period than
two years.
Special judicial elections are such farce
that every voter in the State stands ready
to say Eyes" to the proposed amendment.
The object ofspeciaI judicial elections was
good one, but it seems to be in advance Of
the age. l, is quite impossible to separate
the judicial from the political. Parties will
have their partizan candidates for Judges as
we'll as candidates for Governors. We OPP
posed the amendment TO the Constitution
making special elections for the choice o
Supreme Judges, and the experiment has re- l
suited as we predicted. .-MWysyille Appeal
DEMOCRATIC VICTORY AT CARLIsLE.-O Or
the 18th inst, the Democracy of Carlisle,
Pa, overthrow the Radical dictatorship and
took the corporate authority in their own
hands The Volunteer says: "We elected
the Burgess by one hundred and eighty
three majority; the Assistant Burgess, the
Assessor and Assistant Assessors six out of
nine members Of the town council, and the
Borough Auditor. We elected Justic of
the Peace and one councilman in the West
Ward, which uniformly gives large Repub'
lcan majority. At the municipal election
last spring the Republicans elected their
Burgess and a majority of the Council. This
is triumph Of which we may we'll feel
proud"
ERRoNEous-Many persons, being unnat-
uralzed aliens, who have served in, and been
honorably discharged from the army or navy
of the United States, imagine that the ex-
| ulOltlon vi tueu ulocHdiSe eut'tieo tue'l W

incorrect. 1t is essential that they procure
their certificate of naturalization from the

titles them to the certificate Stripes.
