RENO CORRESPONDENCE.
ESPECIAL TO THE APPEAL
RENO, October 8, 1868.


H.R. MIaHELs, Eso.-Dear Sir: As
l have reason to believe that an account
of our procession and Grafton last even
ing will be sent to the Democratic paper
of Virginia City, and believing that said
account will contain the usual amount
of lies that Coprerhead correspondents
generally make use of, I conclude to
give you a slight synopsis Of the affair
my self.
At ! so P M. the Grant and Colfa1
Club met at the speakers stand, which
was beautifully decorated for the occa-
sion with a row of lanterns all along
the front. something after the fashion of
Chinese lanterns, with the stars and
stripes beautifully painted on them.
The sides aud front were ornamented
with flags and tran parencies mot COM
plimental to Seymour, two fine pictures
hung over the speakers seat-of Lin
coin and Grant and Colfax. The mem
bers were formed into line by Captain
Comstock, and, being furnished with
torches, took up the line of march. The
number at starting probably did not
exceed 60, but, by constant accessionsto
sion numbered some l60-not counting
the BOYS and some few curious Demo-
Gratis. Your correspondent collared
friend SAWYER and kept him the ranks.
Sawyer said be came in to give the
thing tone. by the way, he's nearly
converted, under primary influence, so
to speak, aud, do believe, were it not
for mere shame sahe, would come out
from his Democratic Inquiries a re-
formed, renewed CHRISTIAN Republican,
After marching and countermarching in
the most approved military style, the
procession came to q halt at the speak
ers' stand, the brass band discoursed
patriotic music for few minutes, and
the Chairmnn, John c Lewis, iutrodu
ced The Peoples ftvorite, Tom Fitch. Ii
is nee jless to say that be made an ex-
cellent speech. He handled the Demo
cratic party in mastery sty.e. One
splendid point carried conviction to |
many a Copperhead' heart, viz: the
question. He proved be-
yond the possibility Of cavil,
that the Democratic party had |
promised the foreigner protection az
home aad abroad for thirty years, and
never fulfilled said promise; and the
party had, in four years,
done the very thing without pledge or
promise of any kind, i. e., had thrown
around the citizen of foreign birth the
same protection given to natve-born
children of this land. Some FIVE con-
versions were made by this argument.
Fitch wound up his speech with one of
the most sublime flights of oratory II
has been my good fortune to hear for
many years. Surely the spirit of Baker
has passed to this man, and is still |
abroad in the earth, liking converts TO
the most righteous doctrine ever enun-
ciated to the political world. Altogether
the thing was a most decided success,
and proves beyond a doubt that the
|oyal element of Reno is far in advance
IF the dying, dying, dying Democratic
party. H. H. Z.

Brilliant Shower OF Aerolttes Inst Night.
About midnight the heavens, which were perfectly
clear, were traversed by small meteors which
seemed like to fireworks. The directions were
from all parts OF the heavens. About one
O'Clock this morning the display became more bril-
liant. owing to the appearance OF numerous large
and intensely bright neteors which exploded IKE
rockets, carrying a thin cloud Of what SCENE

ut twenty minutes past one A. NJ, passed from

descending made streak OF intensely bright light
so bright that the letters on q newspaper could be
distinctly seen. Another such shot from the east ut

AMUSING SCENES IN WALL SrRERT.-There
has been good deal Of excitement created in
Wall street by tho report that Commodore
Vanderbilt had unloaded his Central Rail-
road stock and got clean ont Of the concern.
The excitement was not decreased by the
rumors that he had purchased number Of
steamers in Boston. In Short there are all
kinds Of rumors afoat with regard to the doings
of the Commodore-Central Railroad stock,
Pacific Mail stock, and so forth-which have
turned things upside down in Wall street and
rendered the whole state Of affairs there most
amusing to all those who ale not likely to get
bit. To those who may suffer from the excite
ment the laugh is, Of course, on the other side
Of the mouth.

BANK AND BOND RoBBERIEs. Crime in the
form of bank robberies, bond robberies and
robberies generally in public places Of business
is rampant. Almost every day news of such
is published in the HERALD. Yesterday there
were accounts Of no less. than six different
bank and bond robberies and bold attempts at
robbery. Those professional gentlemen who
are detected are generally Englishmsn, from
which fact it Is evident there has been lately
an unusual immigration Of that interesting
class They do business with boldness and
on a scale unknown heretofore in this country.
It behooves the police to be actively at work
and the people to keep . sharp eye on their
movable property. And we advise the
judges of our criminal courts when any of
these professional criminals come before them
to punish tho scoundrels to the utmost extent
Of the law.

newspaper assaults upon The persons engaged
In the inquiry looks suspitiously like an effort
Of the whiskey ring to prevent any investiga-
ton at all. 1t viii be seen from our Wash
ton news this morning, thai the President has
refused for the present b suspend District
Attorney Courtney, but th.t the case cannot
by any means be considered settled.
International Military Commission for NIiti-
eating tho Horror Of War.
The cable telegraph has announced that the
International Military Commission, called by
the Emperor Alexander to raw up conven-
ton for mitigating the horr,rs Of war, began
its sessions at St. Petersburg on Wednesday,
November IL. We heartily wish that the
atrocities inseparable from var might be abol-
ished, but contamination so devoutly to be
desired would involve the abolition Of war
radically changed-until, in fine, all that
prophets and poets have sungof the millennium
shall be realized we can hIrdly hope for the
abolition Of war. The wa spirit appears to
be a disease inherent in human nature. 1t is
mania to which nations themost highly civil
lied are liable. The great German philoso-
pher, Kant, probably did Mt err in saying -
SIN that stage of culture atwhich the human
race at present stands var is an indis-
pensable means for tb promotion Of
further culture; and MT till the pro-
gress of culture is completed (God
knows whenD would q prpetuar peace be
salutary for us, and not til then would it be
possible" Meanwhile mobrn science applied
to the perfecting Of deadly weapons and
engines renders war moe destructive but
more brief than it would lnve been in former
times. In the bloodiest battle of the fifteenth
century not thousand ma were killed. But
wars, ifless bloody, used t. be longer and moro
ruinous than they are now
Charles Sumner, in one Of the speeches by
which he first made himielf publicly known,
exclaimed, ''No more b!ttle pictures!" But
he afterwards saw the United States pass
through war that might supply Horace
Vernet with innumerable subjects for battle
pictures, and, we must add he was himself
foremost among those actively engaged in
precipitating and prosecuting that war. We
fear that the cry of Emperor Alexander, 'No
more war atrocities!" will prove as futile, and
will be as fatty contradicted by events as was
the cry of Charles Sumner, s'No more battle
pictures !" However, twill do no harm for
the crowned heads of Europe and their repre-
sentatives to deliberate upon the horrors Of
war. If successful in mitigating these they
will win and deserve perpetual blessings from
the people.

The Revenue Frauds-What In to he Done
The organs of the whiskey ring are making
terrible outcry in view Of the recent disclo-
sures at Washington and the threatened inves-
tigation into the revenue frauds in New York
Their plan of operation is to bring counter
charges Of corruption against those who appear
as witnesses and those who undertake the
prosecution of the inquiry. These counter
charges, however, even if true, do not help the
case of the parties the whiskey organs are
anxious to defend. If A and B have been en-
gagged in robbing the government and B turns
States evidence against A the latter does not
establish his own innocence by proving BIS
guilt. Whiskey frauds are generally committed
by disreputable men, and hence, II we are to
wait until the witnesses in such cases are all
ministers Of the Gospel, respectable merchants
and pious church MEMBERS we shall never
have any prosecutions for such offences at all,
and those who have been robbing the govern
ment Of q hundred million dollars o year for
the past three or four years will escape scot
free. And this is probably just the result the
whiskey organs desire to accomplish.
There is very plain and simple meth cd of
arriving at the truth In oil these matters and of
settling the question Of the guilt or innocence
Of the parties charged with official corruption.
Prosecutions by the government are conducted
by the United States District Attorneys, and
the United States Marshals have important
duties to perform In such cases. There would
be an evident inconsistency in allowing those
officers to conduct q prosecution directed
against themselves and in which they figure as
the alleged criminals. As grave charges have
been made publicly against United States
District Attorney and United States Marshal,
there can be no good reason why those particu-
lar officers should not be suspended by the
President and their places temporarily filed
by competent persons until full and fair
trial has been had and their guilt or innocence
established. If they should be acquitted they
would be restored to Office with unblemished
characters, and II convicted we do not sup
pose that even the whiskcy ring organs would
advocate their retention in the public service.
AT the same time, the prosecutors and
witnesses would be also on trial. and 1t would
then be seen whether their own skirts were
clean. This 10 80 simple and just PROPOSE

New York Press on the actions.

New YoRK, November 4-The Her
aid says: with the candidates the Dem
ocrats selected to carry their standard,
nothing but defeat was to be expected,
and we suppose not even the most san
guine me mber Of the party anticipated
any other termination than the election
of Gen. Grant Let Us have peace,
is his motto, and we look now to see
the olive branch substituted for the
sword in the Southern States, negro su-
premacy quietly superseded, and such
measures adopted as will create har-
mony ont of dscord in the fruitful por-
tion of our country comprised in
the States now suffering from a
N. staken and vindictive policy; and we
10 ok, and hopefully, to see that after the
4th of March there will be check put
uptn the monstrous corruptions which
pr vail in all departments of the Govern
m IT; that economy shall succeed ex-
'avagaDce in the disbursement of the
public funds; that the public debt shall
bs-reduced as rapidly as possible, and
that the taxes which press upon the people
shall be made more easy to bear. The
people expect Gen. Grant will accomplish
all this."
The World says: "Itis not merely
as the representative of beaten party
pouring oil upon their wounds, there
fore, that we vindicate in this, the We ry
crisis of our misfortune. and, as we be-
lieve, of the country's calamity, the ar
dor and courege, but the desperateness IS
of our struggle. Rather do we proclaim
in this most trying moment, speaking
for party serenely secure of possessing
the future of our country, and of mold
ing her magnificent destinies, when itself
shall have been purged and nodded for
that imperial task, an unshaken conf
dence in its puissant ard undying youth,
which, out of disaster. will get discipline;
out of misfortune, patience and uncon-
querable; out of blunders, wisdom and
settled will. To this great work here,
and now, upon battlefield which has
been lost, do we invite, beneath our un-
dishouored standards, the youth and
manhood Of our time"
The Post says "The election is the alb
sorbiug topic of conversation in the city
to-day, and the outrageous frauds com
mitted by Tammsny leaders is denounced
by all honest men The Translucent vote
is estimated over $4,000 The authorities
say that $4,000 illegal votes we're castt,
and Hoffman's electionwill be contested.

Poisonous Stockings.

We have already noted the small panic
created in England by the discovery that
dyed hose produce poisonous effects.
DR.. Tarrsl writes to the London Times /:
"On the I'd of May last was called
in by Mr. M, merchant of Havre,
to attend him for an acute affection OF
the feet, extending usward to the ankle
Joints, and presenting the following
symptoms: Diffused redness and tune
faction, followed afterwsrd by numerous
vesicles, having all the appearance OF
acute eczema. During the progress of
the malady | noticed the presence on
both feet of red transve Sc stripes at
equal distance from each other. The
course of the affection was altogether
different from what is usually observed
l., vesicular diseases Of the skin, and L
was led to expect that some external
poison had determined the symptoms
described. Mr.. M here came to my
assistance by stating that the disease had
developed itself under the influence of
some socks purchased in London, and
worn for about twelve days. These socks,
of a violet ground, had on them trans
verse streaks of deep red, which corre-
sponded exactly with the stripes on the
cutaneous surface of the two lower ex-
tremities. The affection was severe, and
lasted considerable time, producing
great irritation and general constitutional
disturbance.
To this the Pail Nall Gazette adds:
"In Marshal Saxe's reveries upon the
art of war, speaking of military cloth.
ing, be says: In regard to the legs and
feet, | could wish the soldiers TO have
shoes made of thin leather, with low
heels; these shoes must be worn upon
the naked foot, and CREASED with tsllow
fat "a precaution which we know from
experience to have been made use of by
all the French veterans, not only as 1t
entirely preserved their feet from CALLING
on a march, but as the grease prevented
the wet in q measure from penetrating.
The Germans, who make their infantry
wear woolen stockings, have always
great numbers crippled from blisiers,
ulcers, and all sorts Of iuflammatory
humors in their legs and feet. There are
kinds of curiositiss in this nearly forgot
ten book. For one thing, SAKE contin-
ually recommend breach-loading guns.
