SENATOR STEWART.

The popular voice will be heard in
hearty commentator of the services in
Congress of the Hon. VIM. NJ. Stewart.
He has worked constantly, with vigor
and enthusiasm for the interests of his
constituents and for the good of the ma
ton. By an industrious study of his
duties during the four years of his term
as Senator he has fitted himself for that
efficiency which is the valuable result
of experience and we are pleased to
note the high esteem in which be is held
by those at the East who are acquainted
with his Senatorial career. The Wash
ngton Chronicle of the l4th inst. says {:
Among the Senators whose terms expire
On the 4th of March, 1869, is Hon. William
Stewart, of Nevada, and we are glad to hear
that he is candidate for re election. AL
though one of the youngest Senators, he is
one of the ablest. Chosen in 1863, when
Nevada was admitted into the Union. he has
grown not only in knowledge of his duties
and in the regards of his associates but in
affections of the people at large. His fear
less champions hip of Republican principles,
as embodied in the great schemes of recon-
struction, and the courtesy Of his utterances,
his readiness of debate, his legal aptitude, and
his unwearied industry. have made him as
necessary to the country to his own State.
We not only hope for, but earnestly recon-
mend his reelection, of which we learn there
is no doubt. Nevada is thoroughly equipped
for the canvass, and will elect a Republican
Legislature at the same time that she polls
a rousing majority for Grant and Colfax.
And to this triumph no man viii contribute
more heartily than Mr.. Stewart. We learn
hat he will leave for the Pacific in company
with Hon. George c. Gorham. Secretary of
he Senate, Senators COnness, Cole, Corbett,
md Williams, in time to take part in the
struggle.

IT is now stated that General Blair burned
the residence of General Wade Hampton, in
South Carolina. We forget which of the
rebel officers burned General Blair's residence
near Washington. What a delightful evil
dence of the healing of the wounds Of the grea,
civil war would be presented if it should ap-
pear that Wade Hampton burned Blair's res
idence; and now Hampton supports Blair
for Vice President, and Blair echoes Hamp-
toms policy of reviving the rebellion on the
question of colored suffrage.

paign is happily offered US by the ap.
proach hither, across the Plains, of
Senators Stewart, Conness and Cole
and Mr.: Secretary Gorham. We call
upon the members Of the Union party
of Ormsby County to hold themselves
in readiness to give those gentlemen
such reception as they are entitled TO-.
The suggestion has been made that q
delegation from the party should meet
these gentlemen at Virginia and escort
them to Carson. The idea is an excel
lent one and We hope to see it formally
acted sp0n at meeting of the Union
lists Of this county. In addition to a
committee of reception there should be
made ample arrangements for such q
of en tho siasm as We may
DO sure will be elected if adequate pre-
parAtion is made fer the accommodation

Of Prado has come to naught, aud peo.
pie are turning their attention to other
matters than Sighting. Monetary affairs
are In bad way. The treasury is now
empty and the Government deeply in
debt. The Peruvian papers are dis
posed to accept the mediation proffered
by the United States to adjast her diff
ficulties with Spain without regard to
the wishes of Chile.
The Herald's Chile correspondent
says that the Congress of Chile is &C
lively engaged in perfecting measures
of great public benefit. Imprisonment
for debt has been abolished, and the
Government is repairing to offer great
inducements to immigrants. Business
is active and increasing. The fortifca-
tons of Valparaiso are completed and
the city is considered almost impregna-
bic.
LONDON, July 29-Midnigh t-The
usual banquet given at the conclusion
of the session of Parliament to the Min
listers, came off tonight. Dsraeli, in
the course Of speech, touched upon
the relations of England and the United
States. He said with regard to the
subjects of misunderstanding which had
been so much dwelt upon by the United
States that every day leads to a better
feeling, aud expressed the opinion that
a solution was near at hand, owing to
the mutual good sense of the two great
nations.

TIE HARMONIOUS DEMOCRACY.

When pressed with the purport OF
Frank Blair'e Broadhead letter and the
Bayard plank in the Copperhead plat
form, (the resolution which declares
Reconstruction to be unconstitutional,
revolutionary and void) the q soft =
Democrat. in Congress wriggled most
uncomfortably in their seats and gave
out some very broad hints that Blair
had been making a fool of himself
telling tales out of school. The dough
faces are painfully uneasy in the plight
in which they find themselves. The
fact is the g Johnny Rebs " had Tam
many stocked after their own liking.
But while: the " Sof,s " are chafng in
harness, the regular old brass mounted
Hunkers are not so harmonious as they
might be. Belmont's position in the
party is not relished by the Western
Copperheads and he is again chair
man of the Central Committee. In its
issue of the 18th of July, the Cincinnati
Inquirer (Pendle,on's home organ) sup
posing that the slippery August would
be left out in the cold after new deal
had been served treated him to the fol- |
lowing blizzard

of the Democratic National Committee,

and nominated its temporary Chairman.
This, perhaps, was his right. but he certain
ly was not called upon TO afflict the Conven-
ton with set political speech, which he
appears to have done. The country has no
desire-no disposition-to hear Mr.. Bel
mont. and the less he has to say in the
coUnsels of the party the better for the or
gan ization. His name is verv unpopular
in the great West, and his position as the
agent Of foreign capitalists has long been
used by the Radical press to Democratic dis
advantage. We hope for this campaign
indeed for III campaigns we have heard the
last of the Messrs. Rothschilds' agent.
Kick in the traces as they will, the

An IHFAMoUs INsINUATIoN.-Thc Exam
liner has succeeded in eclipsing in point of
thorough paced brutality, the worst of the
rufians who threw stones at Union men
and women on Tuesday night. Not con-
tent with encouraging and supporting the
blacsgusrd element of its party, it has it
self published an iusinnation more infamous
than anything ever pcrPetrated by the La
Crosse Democrat. The rank and file of
the Democratic party only threw stones and
mud at the loyal women who appeared in
the procession. The Examiner goes far
beyond them. and bTutally publishes a foul
slur upon theircharacters. Unionists will not
forget that the principal organ of the De-
mocracy indnlged its partisan spite by lend
ing its columns to the ardAciou; assertion
that the ladies who turned on. on Tuesday
were bad characters. So dastardiy and ig-
noble an outrage as this is almost beyond
the worst sections of the Democracy, and
we doubt much if even the w-browed
brutes who howled for Seymour from the
sidewalks, would have ventured upon an
insult so revolving and unmaniy as that
which the Examiner perpetrated last night.

est political demonstration of the campaign
In Ormsby county. A. an early hour Offices

and proceeded through the principal streets,
bringing up at the New Thea,er Hall The
greatest enthusiasm was manifested by the
participants, and they were greeted with I'M

THE DAILY APPEAL.

THE UNION SPEAKING at the new Theater
Hall, last night, was very largely attended.
Governor Blasdel was called to the chair, and
General Clarke took the stand and made one
of the most eloquent and mastery speeches
ever delivered in the Capital of this State.
Dealing with indisputable historical facts
and the living issues Of the day; reviewing
I he salient points of the great events OF the
past, as with a finger of fire, he traced the
line of progress of Republican principles
and demonstrated that the success Of
Grant and Colfax as representatives Of
the great party of Progress and
enlightened patriotic and just Government,
was all important to the welfare of this the
greatest and best Government the world ever
knew. Glowing with eloquent, fervent
thoughts, he enchanted the attention Of the
audience and carried them along with him in
atorrent OF eloquence seldom equaled if ever
surpassed. Indeed he seemed inspired in
predicting the most overwhelming victory BY
the great National Union Republican Party,
throughout the entire United States at the
polls on this ever to be \ memorable day.
At the close of his remarks Judge Hayden Of
Lyon county was called for and made brief
speech, in which he paid his respect to the
Modern Democratic party who speak Of "our
gallant foe, in their platform, as they desig-
nate the rebels who starved to death thirteen
thousand Union soldiers who were fighting
to preserve our Country and Liberty under
the flag Of Beauty and Glory. "Our gallant
foe" forsooth-but We cannot do the orator
justice in an attempt 20 report his beau
tiful language so keenly severe 80
terribly sarcastic, that it must be heard to
be appreciated. The Carson Band was in
attendance (as they were also at the head of
the torchlight procession) and discoursed
most excellent music. The ladies', God bless
their loyal hearts, were present in goodly
numbers. The speakers were most heartily
spplauded throughout, and at the close |
rousing cheers were given for Grant and
Colfax.

CONCLUDED NEXT WEEK.

An AsroN1sHED NEGRO WoMAN.-During
Chistmas week the variety stores were selling
some queer-looking aud curiously prepared
papers called skyrockcts. An old descen-
dant," attracted by the gaudy parti-colored
sticks, purchased one, thinking it was an or
nament for the head. Applying it TO this
use, she has persstently worn it amid her sa-
BILE kinks as an attache to her waterfall, new
er suspecting its dangerous tendency to ex-
plosion. Last night, being solemn occasion
in the old woman's life, the anniversary OF
her birth, she dressed herself with exceeding
care, and invited her neighbors..in to partici'
pate in the celebration. Prominent among the
tresses of the head dress was the skyrocket.
Some mischievous urchin saw and OWNED its
explosive tendencies, When the old woman's
attention was deeply engaged, he applied a
match toit. The effect was electrical. The
"rocket" went off, and the old woman fell
screaming to the floor She kicked and yell
ed Justify. She thought the day ofjudgment
had come-thc idea Of fiery serpents fastened
on her mind. Terror stricken, the alarmed
darkeys gave way before the distracted wo-
man, and the air was vocal with distracted
screeches The police were notified-they
crowded around-the facts were related, and
the wisest suggested an appeal to the fire de-
partment for solution of the mystery; but
before they got there the old woman's terror
abated and her apprehensions -quieted.--N.

L. E. Landon.
Six years had rolled by srce Margaret
Percival and her child found a refuge among
the Canterbury Shakers. Had those years
brought peace and rest to the wretched,
world.wca-y woman? Had they dropped
healing balm upon her wounded spirit? No;
oh, 70! Her rebe!lious, undisciplined heart
beat as stormiy under her plain dress as it
had beneath the siken folds Of luxury. In
the quietude Of her home she was as misera-
BILE as she had been in the great metropolis.
She, however, rigidly conformed to the usages
of the community. Unaccustomed Us she
had been to toll, she never shrank from her
SHARE of the labor. When she was required
to she had given up the immediate supervis-
ion Of her child. 1t cost her many pang to
YIELD but she did at last school herself to the
trial. She Joined in their worship, rs soon as
the fear of discovery had worn off, but her
step tagged and her thin hands moved list
lessly in the dance and march (; and no "new
revelation" could inspire her with enthusiasm.
Sand Bessie-what of her?" fancy
hear the reader ask. She had fulfilled the
promise of her childhood and grown up a
beauty. She was also at eighteen SO fine q
scholar, that she was, despite her youth and
inexperience, appointed an assistant teacher
in the Shaker school. Besides, there was not
so rich and sweet voice as hers in the
whole settlement, and she was, therefore, on.
of the leading singers at church.
1t was on glorious Sabbath during her
eighteenth summer, that she stood in the lit
tie temple, singing some wild, fantastic tune
A crowd Of spectators were gathered around
her, but for time she did not appear to be
aware of their presence. Her soul was lost
in the song, and she sang on, not after the
usual cnstom of her 7ect, but in clear, warb
ling tone, as bird might sing in the green
woods, or on his flight through the tranquil
sky.
"Wbat voicel' exclaimed young ane
fashionably dressed man, who had come there
with o gay party of friends, and half-risine
from his>seat, he leaned eagerly. forward tc
catch glimpse of the singer. As his glance
fell upon her, sudden flush broke over his
high forehead, and his whole frame seemed tc
] thrill. He was still gazing at her, silent and
