Politics in the State Of Nevada.

In reply to the statement Of q Republican
paper that Nevada would vote for the Radical
candidate for President, the llumIolt (Neva-
da) Register says:
"Nevada has cast her last Republican vote,
even without the manhood suffrage plank; aud
with it the Republican party will be distauced
in the race. Let us look at the figures u mo.
ment. Last year there Was but li,tle effort
made by the party in this State, as the Demo-
cratic party !clt no confidence in The result,
aud lmge nuln6GIs Of them did not register,
aud many :hat did failed to go to the pollsi
not because General Apathy was in command
OF the Democracy, for they DO not recognize
his leadership, but simply because the had no
confidence in the result. Many Democrats
failed to register owing TO the scarcity OF mon'
ey, while the Republican party had abundant
means left over Of the 'saw-mill fund for all
local aud practical purposes. The Democrats
ic legislative ticket went by default, as there
were no nspirauts on the Democratic side for
the United States Senate; aud with all these
disadvantages Weighing down the party, ihe
Republican majority was only about a thou
sand Oh the general ticket-tbo Governor q
little more aud members OF Congress less
only about eight. hundred. Since that time II
wonderful change has como upon the hearts of
the people. There were then no military gov
ernmeuts, no irresponsible dGspelisms erected
IN the South, to make four million niegers
masters Of the destinies Of eight millions OF
white people, in order to enable the Republic
can party TO control the political power OF
these States; the Republican party was not
then committed to theNOctrine of The uuiver-
sal brotherhood, which alone will rob u it oil
half its power in this State, to say nothing o.
the effect naturally produced on the minds o.
the PEOPLE by heavy Democratic victories in
the East, and in California. If the election
Of q Republican President depends on III,
vote Of Nevada and Ohio-aud it c~ertainl,
does unless it is Offset by the niger vote il
the South-then, indeed, has its chances o
success vanished in the air. Nevada anC
Ohio will cast no electoral vote for a negro
suffrage candidate for President-but none 81
blind as those that won't see,'

G8- The differences" between Hon. Chas.
sumner and his wife have not, it seems, as has
been reported, been amicably adjusted, and
the New York Home Journal-high authority
in such matters-has the following, indicating
that there is no likelihood that such will ever
be the case; owe have good authority for
stating that the differences between Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Sumner, which have caused so
much unpleasant gossip and scandal, have
been finally settledby a permanent separation,
with the mutual coneent and desire of both
parties, and their best friends. The diretc
cause of this separation is simply the certainty
discovered only too late-ihat there exists
between the parties an incompatibility of tenn
permanent and opinion uoon certain social ques-
tons, which p%recludes the possibility Of their
living happily together as man and WIFE"

wall street on the Payment Of
the bonded Debt.

A New York correspondent Of the Colum-
bus (0hiO) Neus, in speaking OF Wall street,
SAYS
ain this narrow aud crooked street are de-
posted the fruits Of ell the toll, traffic ard
commercs going on about IL the untold mill
lions that at last control the world. Here are
certered those gigantic interests that COM
maud the labor Of the country, getting fat and
waxing bigger with every passing days toll
Of the working mau. This street, you may
guess, is not in favor Of paying OF the public
debt 10 greenbacks, for its habitues make mill
lions every year from that National CURSE
Even the drippings Of that stupendous debt
make fortunes for the money dealers and they
scufle over them in the streets and exchanges,
and in the political rostrums, like so many
famished wolves over a carcass. They litter
ally deal in the sweat of the poor aud the
blood Of the brate as articles OF traffic. But
while these exclusive Wall street gamblers
dread the idea Of paying ci the public debt as
proposed 10 the West, because il would re-
duce their profits and perhaps destroy their
occupation, the people, the great working
masses, Of this city, as Of oil other sections
upon whom the burden aud misery Of this
really rests, would approve Of any measure
however extreme, looking to the removal Of
the curse. There is reputation in the mind
Of many q ruined trader, and many a ruined
workman, standing behind these aristocrntiC
money dealers, ready to vote it, or if need be
Gght it into effect and II would be well fol
gambling money moDgers and gambling politi'
clans, who are combining in and out Of Con.
gcess to aggravate the burdens Of the people
to recognize this danger at once"

tFrom the Ohio Statesman, Jan, OIL
Meeting of the Legislature.

This morning The b7th Session Of the Cen
sral Assembly Of Ohio will commence. iIow
in character from it's predecessor, the
seth. Then the Republican party had .
membership Of rs 10 the Senate aud 20 in
the House, while the Democratic party had a
membership Of only II In the Senate and 35 in
the House. The Republican party had nbso>
lutte power Q each branch to do as II pleased.
The Democratic party was powerless, and the
belief prevailed generally that il would con-
tiuue 70, aud so it doubtless would have con-
linued had not the leaders Of tho Republican
party deluded themselves into The belief that
they could with impuni,y do what they pleas
ed. As the party in Congress was vindictive,
intensely partisan, corrupt, wastelul aud reck-
less 10 expenditure aud determined to exalt
The negroes in tie South just released from
slavery and to abuse the white men there, a
similar lsxity OF political morals vas exem-
pliRed by That party in Ohio. They we're ad.
yised to moderation, TO economy aud 10 reso.
lu,ely set their faces against all manner of leg .
%islation looking to the abolishiug Of the sx.
listing political distinction between the Whites
aud Blacks. To this counsel they gave no
heed. The eyes OF tue people were npon them,
and instead of returning 25 Republicans TO
tbs Senate they have only returned l5, while
they have returned 10 Democrats as against
IL 10 the previous Session, and instead Of re-
turning 20 Republicans to the House, they
have only returned 40, while they have re-
turned &c democrats ns against 80 to the pre-
vious Session. In this great change, the peo-
pie have rebuk i uniaithlul servants. The
majority By which the Democrats hold the
General Assembly-one in the Senate, aud
six ia the llouse-is small but il their legls-
Iation shall be sush as to give satisfaction tC
the mass Of the people, instead OF this majority
being diminished at the next election for mem
bers OF the General Assembly, it will be in
creased. Not this alone but 1t will hell
largely to make OhiO.n Democratic State
The eyes alike Of Democrats aud Republican
are turned to the present Legislature. A glar
ing misiake-s defiance OF public opinion IL
any conspicuous matter-will assure the con
tiuued oscendancy Of the Republican party il
this Stute Tor years to come. Ia view Of this
ne responsibility resting upon the Democratic
members is weighty almost beyond compu,a.
ton but weighty US it is, We feel assured ;ha
they are equal TO it, aud that they will legis
late tor the welfare Of the whole State. In s
acting ind legislaling they will lay a solit
foundation for Democratic success.

Tho Republican Party and ITS
Prospects.

Wendell Phillips declares in the Anti-slavery
Standard that
Tie Rel ublican ship is drifting before the
wind. Without compass or pilot, She has Civ
en- up all hope Of rcuching any particular har-
Dor, and only aims to Outride the storm. We
once supposed she had q d~rilt-sail concealed
under the waves and was seeking soms special
port. But day by day il becomes moro and
more evident that she has neither cargo nor
Dissipation. and is only waiting for daylight to
discover what sea she is in, and what flag it
will be safest to run up.
How much strength the party needs in order
TO Keep hold of office, and W cnce that strength
will be edsiest secured, these are the questions.
The answer TO them will determine the Repub-
licau platform of 1865. II the negro seems a
trustworthy friend, she will run up the white
flag Of justice. Should the mild type of Cop
perhoadism which Fessenden, Trumbull
Weed, Sherman and Seward represent, seem a
safer reliance, then the old black rag that has,
in front of doughlnce ranks, braved so often
the battle aud the breeze, will be nailed to the
masthead.
Wendell proceeds to state that "Grant's ST.
lence was at first that of a soldier who had no
IDEAS" but that it is now the ''trick of a clique
who are uncertain what section of the Republi-
can party will prove the strongest "a menth
ago." he continues, "the party was ready to
hide in Grants skirts without askiag of him
any PLEDGE but he IS now of the opinion that
it would go for him on a platform subyersivs
to Johnson's Message I
Wendell has been SO long the leader of the
Republican party that he ought to know it,
His testimony as to its entire want of principle
is that off competent and disinterested wit

gin Of the word 'IIymen?' Ifnot, here it is:
Hymeu was a young man OF Athens, OBJ
securely born, but extremely handsome. Fall.
ing in love with u lady oil rank, he disguised
himself in female attire, the better to carry
on his amour; and as be was one day on the
sea shore celebrating the Eleusinian rites
with his mistress aud female companions, q
gang Of pirates CAM upon them by surprise,
and carried them of to n distant island,
where the pirates got drunk for joy and fell
asleep. Hymen then armed the virgins aud
dispatched the sleeping pirates, when, leaving
the two women upon the island he sped to
Athens, told his adventure, and demanded his
beloved in marriage as her ransom. Ills ie-
quest was granted, and 50 fortunate was the
marriage that the same Uymen was ever
after invoked on oil luture nuptials; and, in
progress Of line, the Greeks enrolled hin
among their gods.
