Army Interference in the Elections.

Army Interference In the Elections
from the Not,onat Intetti0encer.
Army officers have as much right as other
men to opinions in politics, and to the exprec-
sion Of them in manner notinconsistent with
the obvious prophecies of their position aud
the discharge of its duties. General Sohoheld
is no exception to the rule; but he and Gene
raj Sherman, and the very few others of the
old army who choose to forget the warfare of
radicals upon its best soldiers, cannot profess
non interference in the elections, and yet
write letters for the radical cause and candi-
dates, and be more or less with the latter in
their electioneering tours, as has been Gene
raj Sherman with Grant.
General S'ckes, an officer of the regular
army, has been permitted by General Grant,
while acting as Secretary of War, and also by
General Schofeld, to do nothing else but make
electioneering speeches wherever elections
have taken place. His expenses, If not much
more, have been paid by the radical party.
There are, perhaps, others of the party of
lesser note that have been playing the same
game. We say this for the benefit of the New
York Tribune, which complained recently of
General Gordon Granger for solitary remark
or two of his, on the occasion of a serenade in
favor of Seymour and Blair. The finest spirits
of the old army, who have written letters in
the same direction, have justification for their
course, if any were needed, in the action of
their pro tempore superior, General Schoheld,
acting Secretaryof War. We now refer to his
letter for its remarkable recognition of con-
servatism where no conservatism exists.
"He must have optics sharp, ween,
To see what is not to be seem"
Intelligent men will smile at the utter in
consistency of General Schofeld's letter, in
the respect of its supporting Grant and appro.
wing the Chicago platform, but will have hope,
should the radical party succeed, for the
cropping out of the sort of conservatism, under
General Grants auspices, that is indicated in
the following psssage:-
"I have not been without serious apprehen-
sions that, by forcing upon the country extreme
radical theories, the Stability OF the Govern.
ment might be endangered. Great reforms re-
quire time for their full developm ment-time in
which theories msy be analy Zed, aud that
which is sound and of practical utility sepa
rated from tie unsound and ehimerical. Wis
dom and moderation In Congress will now give
the country restoration and peace"

Reaction in the South In Favor of General
Grant.


From the NJ T. Herald
We gave yesterday an article from staunoh
Democratic paper, published in Louisville, KY,
advising the Southern people not to act too
rashly in view of the election of General Grant
to the Presidency, but to take the situation
philosophically, satisfied that what they con-
slider will be the rule of a despotism will be
better than the rule of mob. 1t is quite evil
dent that the Southern press, as we'll as the
Southern leaders generally, are beginning to
realize the fact that General Grant will be
elected, and are putting their houses in order
acco! dinghy. This sentiment is spreading in
Virginia, where General Grant is regarded as
an object of no such hideous mien as they have
been picturing him. There the politicians are
cast aside and the people are beginning to turn
their attention to railroad and commercial en-
terprises, to local. agricultural, and other i'm
provements, so that we may in brief period
again see this fine old Commonwealth, shorn,
perhaps, OF a portion of her broad domain, but
still the 'Italy of this Continent" bloom and
prosper as she has in her palmy days. In
North Carolina we notice that the probabill-
ties OF Grants election are not creating so
much alarm as was exhibited some time ago,
and that quite lately prominent Democrat
and distinguished Confederate officer have
come out in his favor. In fact, throughout

Now, read the following, published in
this same newspaper, and admire the
sublime hight to which brazen, impu-
dent Democratic inconsistency can
climb. The World of May 18th, 1868,
says:
This man TGen. Grant, has been nomina.
ted BY the Chicago Convention: The facts OF
his life are: Born at Point Pleasant, Unio,
April 9th, 1922; entered West Point in 1857 +;
graduated, 1913, a second lieutenant, and re-
signed in 1852, 4 captain. In 1854 was appn.
can't for q clerkship to the Prothonota,y OF
st. Louis the application was rejected ior
want Of capacity. He then went 70 Gaiena
and becamei q tanner. In August, 1851, ne
entered the Federal army as q captain, and
was transferred to the Federal service, where
no still remains.
The conflict between these two dis
ouisitions on the character of the same
man by the same paper are character
istic of tho inconsistent, tergiversatory
nature of modern Democracy. Belmont

AYAcHRoyisrIc.-The anachronism
contained in an Abyssinian picture de-
scribed by an English writer, in which
the drowning hosts of Pharaoh are rep
resented holding aloft the modernly iu-
vented fre-loek, reminds the editor Of
the Nevada Gazette Of a couple of pic
lures by an Irish artist, in n Of which,
representing Peter denying the Saviour,
3 Roman ~scenturian appears smoking a
neerschaum Of the latest pattern. In
the other, which represents Abraham
offering up Isaac, the patriarch held a
big brass .blunderbuss against the head
Of his offspring. These would seem to
bc sufficiently violative Of the unities,
but a San Francisco artist that we wot
of hath in his studio q painting which
out-auachonizes old Auachronisticus
himself. He, in a picture intended for
o faithful representation Of "Nimrod
engaged in the Chase" presents the son
Of Cush, that " mighty hunter before
the Lord" mounted OIL a thoroughbred
English hunter; clad in a natty shooting
jacket and n Of Wards shirts, with a

coutradicted the report that General
Grant would not BIO the Republican can
didate, but the telegraph did not furnish

which is circulated:
General Sharpe followed Cochrane, in the

eject that Grant had declined being q candi.

lie had with an officer holding a confidential
position at General Grants headquarters,
This officer, last Friday, asked General Grant
Il there was any truth in tho reports thai he

eral Grant replied in words to the following
effect: al have allowed the use Of my name
BY the Republicans for many months, and II
would DO ungrateful and unsoldierly for mt
to desert them now, when things lool

and It was many minutes before Hagerty ant

A COMPROMISE FoURTH.-The San
Frauciscans, as well as our own Storey
countyites, are in q political turmoil on
the National Anniversary question.
The following on their squabble, which
we clip from the Dramatic Chronicle, is
commended to the careful consideration
of our Committeeman
Each party wants to boss the job Of getting
up the celebration /; and as the Greek. and
Trojans scrimmaged over the dead body oil
Patroclus, 90 will the radicals and their oppo.
nents fight over this matter. Now, as we
prefer peace to war, We would suggest a com.
promise which, II adopted, ought to be salts:
factory to both parties, a compromise based
upon the same fair and impartial feelings by
which Judge Burnett was inspired when he
decided the Archy case, giving the claw to
tho North, and the niger to the South"
We suggest that there, be too orators, too
poets, and too chaplafns appointed for the
occasion. Let one orator deliver an Grafton
Of the o~ld.fashioned spread-eagle style, and
the other perorate on States rights, the wick
edness Of coercion and the wrongs OF the
C~onfederacy. Let one Of the poets furnish 9
patriotic lyric full Of "Hail Columbia" and
aYankee Doodle" while the other shall pro-
duce some inspirational stanzas in g~loritea;
ton Of the "lost cause" Then the Radical
chaplain (the Rev. MI. Cox,) will "deliver'
an abolition prayer, after which the Rev. o
P. Fitzgerald, or some other bright and shin.
ing light Of the Methodist Church South, will
address his petitions to tho pro.slayery God
who frowns upon all humanitarian fanaticism.
and approves Of the peculiar institution and
its picturesque incidents and surroundings
The eternal fitness Of things will also require
that one.half Of the stage be decorated with
the Star Spangled Banner, portraits Of Lin
coin, Grant, Sherman, Beecher, Starr King
etc., while the other half shall be adorned
with the bonnie blue Tag, and pictorial de
vices representing whipping posts, auction
blocks, blood hounds, etc., together with por
traits OF Wirz, Booth, Forrest Vallandigham
Brick Pomeroy, and other martyrs, heroes
and apostles Of the lost cause. We hope the
Committee Of two hundred and two will girt
these modest suggestions Of ours thoughtful
consideration, and go to work with q spirit o
kindness and mutual concession to get US W

An INGENIOUS SPARK CA-oHER.-The
Stockton Independent of June 9th de-
scribes an ingenious continuance for cx-
tinguishiug sparks in the ..smoke-s.ack
Of 8 s~team-engine, the invention Of
Walter g. Bonn, Of that city:
This invention IL adapted to what 10 known
as the locomotive or Handicapped smoke
stack, and has, BY Mr.. Benn, been attached
to an engine Of the Wood & Man pattern.
Those Of other pattsrns may Do easily alter
ed TO suit this attachment. The apparatus
and the philosophy Of Its operations, a.
nearly ~ We can describe II, are as follows /:
The space between the outer and inner shells
Of the stack forms . tank and 10 filled with
water to the hight Of the inner shell, and 10
supplied by the feed pump Of the engine
when not otherwise in use. A piece Of sheet
iron, in the form Of 4 cone, surrounded BY q
curviform hange at Its base, 10 inserted In the
upper end Of the fus with the conc inverted,
bringing the curviform Aange Immediately
over the water In the tank and q few inches
above its surface. The sparks, IN ascending
the fue, are driven blythe steam blast against
the sides Of the inverted cone and are forced
outward In all directions until they reach the

water in the tank into which they are,forced

the outer shell Is also supplied with q con-
centric hangs above the water line. The
steam blast, In its exit from the Aue, expends
itself upon the water in the tank, causing an
agitation Of the surface, rendering its de.
ssructive operation UPON the sparks more
elective and certain. BY the continued op.

BEwIroHEp.-The Legislature of CAL
i~sornia, at its last session, passed an
Act peremptorily requiring the county
Of Plumas to issue bonds to the amount
of S23o,ooo In aid of the Oroville and
Virginia railroad. Eighty thousand
dollars of this was to be subscribed
forthwith, but the Supervisors refuse to
issue the bonds, and the President of
the Company states that the work eau.
not be commenced on the 4th Of July
by reason Of said refusal. In descant-
ing on this phase Of the affair, las. Fri
days Ala gives oom to the following
paragraph, in which +" which " is be-
wildcriugly repeated:
However great the natura. advantages Of
Beckworth Pass, the Act IL . hard one on
Plumas county, which ID to contribute the
only public money given to the enterprise,
which il to have only q small part OF the
road, which, Is not 70 have either terminus,
which is to advance its bonds before the work
il commenced, which gets no security that
the road will be finished, or even that II will
reach Plumas county, and which knows that
all the money which It gives will be expended
in Butte-which gives nothing.
The writer of the above was certainly
bew(h)itched.

nxum remarks in the course Of q review
of q recent American volume:
Baltimore will live in a travellers mind as
a city Of lovely girls, Of passionate song, OF
perfect terrapin. It will keep its place, when
things OF higher interest may have passed
away, by the color Of It's streets, by the dash
OF lis people, BY the heat Of its pavement, BY
tho irolic of It's quays. Other cities Of tho
Union have their charm. Boston Is very
massive; Richmond il very picturesque.
New York abounds In riches, Chicago in en-
t~erprise, New Orleans in w~ickedness, st.
Louis Is fervid. Philadelphia nobly built
but Baltimore has q charm beyond nearly all
cities in America, which many q visitor has
felt without being able TO describe. The
streets are very sunny, the citizens very gay.
But these things may DO seen elsewhere, IN
places Of which you do not feel the instant
charm. Perhaps tho secret lies in q certain
combination Of brightness and t~houghtless-
ness in the city and the people. which 10

cities than Baltimore; yet for q kind Of deco

about wine and song-this city on the Chesa-
peake bears away the bell.

NrrRo-G LYcERISE. = The following
statement Of the comparative advan-
tages and disadvantages Of nitro-glycer-
inc in blasting is given by a German
mining engineer: l. Fewer men are
needed to work q given mine, and the
boring Of fewer holes is required. 2.
Nitro-glycerine does not take FIRE easily,
and when lighted burns, but does not
explode, the flame going out when no
longer kept up by some extraneous con-
tact. 3. The holes cau be tamped cas-
lily, quickly, and without danger. 4.
There is comparatively little smoke, and
the workmen can 60 back at once to the
place Of the blast. s. Holes that have
missed can be retamped without danger.
On the other hand, however,. The
gases formed have an injurious effect on
sight and respiration. 2. Nitro-glycer-
inc explodes on being smartly struck,
and 1t easily freezes. 8. The masses Of
rock removed are mostly very large,
and much time Is required in breaking
them up.

A SAoE-BRusH SEER.-The sage who
does the prophetic work for the Hum
boldt Register ventillates his loony pre-
science in the Register Of the 9Th, con-
corning the result Of the November
election in Gold Hill. Our recent char
ter election awoke the inspiration that
forecasts our doom. The prophetic
buug Of the Registers soothsayiug whis-
ky-tub has been extracted, and thence
flows the following stream of prophesy :
"By working industriously and ener-
getically, the Democratic party will
sweep away the oauerui Influences OF
Mongrelism, and crush the enemy. At
the election in November next Gold Hill
will roll in a ray Of Democracy that
will completely clean out the Augean
stables, and not a vestige Of power viii
remain unto you. Rejoice and be ex-
ceediug glad, for We would not be so

you not see the handwriting upon the

for you? As we read, our minds eye
seems to see that salty old ave of De-
mocracy that came down here from
Virginia to "clean out" the Black Re-
publicans, returning for the more con-
genial and appropriate task Of cleaning
out o'gin and other stables. As per
request, we have "cast a look around
us" and do not perceive any "hand-
writing on the WALL" but we see a neat
tabular statement Of an election in
which one Stone was elected "through
the exertions of his Irish friends''-to
stay at home, and one Crandall was
elected to the Marshalship Of Gold Hill
by majority which was all.suficient,
and which the hero Of Appomattox will
quiatuple, perhaps centuple, in Novem-
Der. If that word "A~ppomattox" and
the unpleasant little surrender Of which
it is suggestive worries you, neighbor,
We will, in merciful anticipation of the
pitiable surrender which you will oon
be called upon to make, erase or ex-
punge them. Meme, meme, teksl, uphar-
