The DAY THAT WAS NOT CELEBRATED.-In.
dependence Day passed off quite the same
as any other of the seven, perhaps a trife
less notable. The shipping and foreign con.
suls hung out their banners, and that was
about all. There was scarcely dozen
rockets fred, few peppers, and less squibs.
Even the soakers forgot to wet the day to
any considerable extent, and the several
station-houses were not more than ordina.
rily full of "drunks." The heavy rain damp.
ened what little patriotic ardor there might
have existed at day-dawn. There were a
few companies of United States soldiers on
parade, and for time broke the dullness of
day that should be gloriousIy celebrated.

Bro. LYNCH, of the Gold Hill News,
with all his sins, is c-ninently kindly
man, indulgent and genial toward his
associates of and out of the press. He
never comes to Carson without charging
his mind with pleasant mention of men
and things herea bout, and when he gets
back home he narrates to the readers of
his paper the incidents of his visit.
Thus, be told his story Of the Conven-
ions proceedings, which, though erro-
neous in some of its conclusions, was
readable and fair enough and thus he
comments upon the inhabitants and in
situations of our little town. The worthy
old gentleman compliments the Editor
of the APPEAL beyond his deservings,
and makes pleasant and favorable COM
ment upon the general appearance OF
Carson, its churches, lis homesteads,
its saloons and its business men. We
thank our elderly cotem. for what, in
his extreme good nature, be was pleased
to saw regarding US, and commend him
aud his good newspaper to the generous
consideration Of our townsfolk. There
are much worse men than Lynch
for instance.

and future effectiveness Of the Repub-
lican party depend upon the steadfass-
ness of its representatives in the Senate
and while the hoped for verdict of
guilty is still a matter of speculation
and remote doubt, the integrity OF
Representative Government is uuaroid-
ably involved in the result. The people
have already sustained the charges pre-
ferred by the House Of Representatives.

ABOUT ExcELsIoR-Capt. Martin White
arrived Yesterday from Meadow Lake, which
place he took his way in coming up from
San Francisco. He says that the snow in
Meadow Lake is II feet deep-up to the
second story windows Of most of the houses.
The weather there was quite warm and
pleasant, however, during the greater part of
the time that Mr.. White was in the town.
The Enterprise mill will start up about the
first Of June. also the mill of the Mohawk
and Montreal Company. At present the
snow is about ~ feet deep around both mills.

ANOTHER Snow SToRM.-We were yes
terday visited by one of the most villainous
snow storms of the season. Old Eolus,
Old Boreas and all the gods Of wind and
cold appeared to be out on regular bender.
We have seldom seen snow fakes come
thicker and faster than they did at times
Yesterday afternoon. At first they melted
as fast as they fell, but finally the ground
began to whiten, and by nightfall some two
inches of snow rested upon roofs, streets and
hills 1t was moist, clammy, clinging
snow. The breasts ofteamsters, bus drivers
and others facing the wind were covered
with thick coating of fakes that hung
like so much plaster. Even the bells OF the
big teams were coated over with it and gave
out IA most dismal, harmonious clanking
sound. Pedestrians cursed the weather as
they rushed from awning to awning. and
hot stoves drew full houses wherever they
were to be found. The Chinese wood ped
dlers and their donkeys took the storm
patiently if not cheerfully, and they were
about the only bipeds and quadrupeds that
appeared at all serene. Before the storm
our streets were quite dry, even dusty IN
places, but now we are again all a-slush.
Such is Washoe weather-one day all sun
shine and calm, the next, snow and bowling
gales.-Ente2piise of yesterday.

s4- A special from Helena, dated yesterday, gives the saddest news the people of this State could well re- ceiYe. General Hindman, in the midst of his family last Sunday evening, at 10 o'clock, was assassinated by some hellish fcnd for his political opinions. What spectacle for this country! The greatest and best statesman of Arkan- sas, in the prime of his life, has been destroyed by the malignant hate of the accursed party that now rules our down-trodden and oppressed State. With defeat staring them in the face they have become desperate, and our people cannot dread too much from the wicked hate with which they are filled toward them. This is but be- ginning we may expect more of this kind of work. Our enemies are bent upon our destruction, and we cannot be too well prepared. It cannot be that inst Providence will allow our hateful enemies to rule over us forever. Let ns hope for Il change.

Bg-The: New Orleans Picayune oi the 18th inst, says: ''The social equality bill passed the Senate yesterday, in all its loathsome deformity, just as it came from the House. Some white Radicals left the Senate to avoid voting on it. while most of the others hung their heads in silent shame, while the Demo- crats mercilessly called the ayes and nays on each separate section, until all was swallowed by their opponents. It is, or will be, q law only in terms one which will make the poor colored mans condition worse, ill steeling the minds of the white people against ever having him enjoy again that careful protection, generous treatment and guarded but kind familiarity which we accorded him under slavery. It will not merely be disregarded, but defied :; and the colored man who undertakes to avail himself of it, will find his last state worse than his first. Better be a slave, kindly regarded, than hated freedman. As for the white men, their condition is still more to be pitied, even if it be their own act and by their own race that they are condemned What slavery can compare with that of party?

THE BARBECUE AND STEAK
 

The barbecue that was given at this place on the 18th inst, was success beyond the expectations of those who labored in getting it up. Everything came up just right, andall things passed off as pleasantly as could be desired. It is not often such large crowd us- sembles together without something
 happening to mar the pleasure of the day. Without bestowing any useless praise upon the perfect arrangements in regard to the dinner, we will pro- ceed to the speeches delivered by Messrs. Impey and llindman. MT. Impey being introduced made short and telling speech, addressing himself mostly to the colored portion of the crowd, who stood in great numbers in rear of the speakers stand. He is fluent and clear speaker, and is very effective when talking to the negro. l Gen. Hindman was next Introduced, which was hardly necessary, and pro- | ceeded in speech of some three hours length fiaying carpet-baggers and seal awags with all the energy of his na- ture. He also addressed the greater portion of his speech to the colored portion of the audience, and convinced numbers that the Democratic party l was the place of safety for them. He stood up our pet scalawag and admin ! istered several castigations he will not soon forget. He gave the poor thing such a flagellation that he became con fused, and added greatly to his embar- rassment by his attempted answers to questions propounded by the gallant General. Gen. II. dwelt with length and eloquenoe upon the relations of the white and black man. We have heard the General in other and better days but do not think we ever heard him deliver a more effective speech than he delivered here on the l9th.,
