THE ELECTION IN VIGGINIA CITY.

The friction of old, bitter, Senatorial
antagonisms in the Union party OF
Storey County has too widely sundered
men who should be acting in concert,
for the good of the party. Divorces
are the natural result of long continued
chickering's and opposing purposes. We
are not disposed to underrate the com
pieteness of the victory achieved by the
Democrats by adopting the rebel
selfcomfort under difficulties and
styling it a blessing in disguise. >
Dut we are not willing to accept this as
a forecast of the voc in Virginia City
next Fall. We think we can under
stand the possibility of municipal
fight being won by the influence exerted
bv the reigniug administration Of such
municipality. The patronage to be dis
pensed By the party in power must be
taken into account for it is certain to
have more or less of direct bearing
upon the action of a certain class,
which, in cities, is, unfortunately Of a
very considerable numerical force.
From persons who were in Virginia on
Monday we learn that Copperhead mo-
ney was spent and Copperhead tickets
peddled by men who have been hereto
fore counted as Union men and who, il
is safe to conjecture will be found work
Jag and voting for Grant in November
next The reverse just sustained may
prove beneficial lesson TO such of the
party IS have too lightly considered the
value and necessity for harmony and
strict discipline and if such should be
the effect land We confidently trust that
Il greater determination to win a victory
in Novem Der, and not sense Of de-
may be awakened thereby
the lesson may prove to have been not
TOO dearly bought.

decisive verdict in the Impeachment

not reasonably demand much greater
extension of time for speech making and
debate upon points Of law, evidence and
precedent. Everything which shall in
terpose itself between the consideration
of the matter at issue and the final YER
dict may be counted as so much time
occupied to no purpose other than an
unworthy one. We believe that under
the rules adopted, the members of the
Court may occupy, each one, two hours
in debating the matter, and if that pri-

four Senators, the verdict may be STAYED

Gentlemen, Directors of the Six Compa-
MES: | address you, and through you all

given me great pleasure to meet you in
this distant land, and to learn that you are
prosperous in your several callings. On

affecti0nate interest in your welfare. 1t is
his Majestv's hope that, though living in

conduct, to uphold the respectability and
good name Of your native country. To do
so, let me urge YOU not to forget the pre-
certs which have been handed down from
age to age by the wise and good men OF
China. Do not fail TO pay due regard to the
OF the various social relations,
and neglect not your moral duties as meu.
Be careful to obey the laws and regulations
of the nation in which you reside. If you
do so, and at the same time pursue YOUR
callings in accordance with the principles of
right and proprietv, success cannot fail to
attend your labors while a contrary course
will iufallibly bring on you failure and mis-
fortune. | feel confident that you will show
yourselves, by your good conduct, worthy Of

Welfare. and will not disappoint the good

THE DEAD COME TO LIFE.-In 1910
Charles Oats came to California as the
representative of the firm OF Smith, HUI
burt & Co. Before leaving New York he
insured his life in the Mutual Life Insurance
Company. After his arrival here he was
burnt out, and left the city, going into the
interior. Letters were sent to him, aud IN
quires made as to his whereabouts, but 10
traces could be obtained of him. In 1888
the firm. supposing him dead, laid the facts
before the Insurance Company, and the
polcy was paid. \ few weeks since, IN
agent OF the Company met a man on the
street whom he suspected to be Oats, and
informed officer Cannon OF the circumstan-
ces. The officer found the person described
at the " hat Cheer House, and sure enough
it was Oats, alive and we'll. He had no
besitancy in acknowledging his identity, aud
stated that he had never attempted any con-
cealment, aud knew nothing of the reports
Of his death. The Life Insurance money
will, of course, be returned to the Company
by the paaties who received it.

DICKENS POETRY.

The new interest given to Dickens writ
ings bv his own reading, tempts us to recall
an illustration Of the meter or rhythm into
which his prose falls in some of its nobies'
passages. The following arrangement q
Nelly's Funeral is from Horne's Ne,c Ltring
Age:
NELLY's FUNERAL.
And now the bell-the bell
She had so often heard by night and day,
And listened to with solemn pleasure,
Fen as living voice
Rung its remorcele>s toll for her,
So Young, SO beautiful, SO good.
Decrepit age, and vigorous life,
And blooming youth, and helpless infancy,
Poured forth-on crutcheS, il the pride Of
strength
And health, in the full blush
OF promise, the mere dawn Of life
To gather round her tomb. Old men were
there.
Whose ewes were dim
And senses failing
Grandames, who might have died ten years
ago,
And still been old-the deaf, the blind, the
lame. the palsied,
The living dead IN many shapes and forms.
To see the closing ofthis early grave.
What was the death it would shut in,
To that which still could crawl and creep
above il !
Along the crowded path they bore her now
Pure as tine new fallen snow
That covered it whose day on earth
Had been as fleeing.
Under that porch, where she had sat when
Heaven
In mercy brought her to that peaceful spot,
She passed again, and the old church
Received her in lis quiet shade.
Throughout the whole of the above only
two unimportant words have been omitted
in and its and grandames has been
for grandmothers," and " cen "
for - almost" All that remains is exactly
as in the original, not single word trans
posed, and the punctuation the same to a
comma.

GRASS VALLEY, Nav 9TH, 1868.

Ben. BUTLER AND THE LA CROSSE
DEMoCRAT."-We find the following in the
San Antonio (TexaS) Express of March
18th: he blindness and prejudice of the
Southern people-we might say their igno-
rant prejudice-has become a profitable
morsel to numerous Yankee spectators A
good old Yankee builds beautiful steam
boat to rnn on the Mississippi river and calls
it the Robert Z. Lee. The Southern travel
ers up and down the Father of Waters al
most break their necks to get on board this
Yankee craft. Brick Pomeroy discovers a
rich mine il the same Southern prejudice
and ignorance, by publishing a paper which
has already a worldwide reputation for in
deceucy ard scurrility. Pomcroy found
profit in attempting to invade the tomb Of
the martyred Lincoln, and in outraciug the
civilized world by landing the crime of
Booth, the as ASSN. He has pocketed many
dollars paid him by Southern ninnes be-
cause he abused Ben. Butler. Until now,
90 where you will in the South, the La
Crosse Democrat confrontS YOU, even upon
the center tables of the refined and wealthy
Southerners. Bibles may be scarce. but
Bricks paper is omni present. Now comes
the cream of the joke. We have it, from
we believe good, that General But
Ter. who is sharp fnancier, is large stock
holder in the La Crosse Democrat, and that
his interest yields him a handsome yearly
profit. 1t must be a pleasant qualification
to the hero of New Orleans to pocket the
price the Southern fools pay to curse him.

X. Sale, Marshal; Mat. Furston, Assessor;
A. C. Roberts, Treasurer; c. Lyman, Re

Thirty Thousand Women in the Hop

1t is estimated that thirty thousand

In the state of Wisconsin. Immense

them to the hop picking region, and the

When Gen. Dix relieved Wool in New
York, in July, 1868, and was charged
with the execution of the Act of Congress
requiring draft for filing the ranks of
the army, he did all in his power to in,
duce Gov. Seymour to aid him with the
State forces. This the Governor refused
to do, as the correspondence published at
the time shows. Gen. Dix was so con-
vinced Of the Governors determination
not to aid him in case of need, that he
addressed to the Government an elaborate
argument, to show that the President
might call out the New York militia with
out requisition on the Governor. The
matter was submitted to the Cabinet
Gen. Dix's views were approved, and Mr.
Lincoln sent him a proclamation in blank
to be issued in case of necessity, with di
rect orders on the commanding officers ol
