November next promises to be a memorable
epoch in the political world on both sides Of
the Atlantic. In that month we elect, on this
side, President and Vice-President of the
United States for the regular quadrennal
period of Office. In the same month the Brit
ish people elect new House of Commons.
Peculiar circumstances will render both these
national elections exceptional; but in each case
the struggle for victory between COntending
parties will be substantially of the same kind.
That struggle will be virtually one of progress
against reaction. In England the Liberals rep
represent the former principle-the Tories the
latter; in this country the Radicals, so called,
are the party of the future, with all its bright
hOpes-the Democrats the representatives Of
tho dead past, with all its sad memories In
both cases an appeal is to be made to con-
stituencies greatly enlarged by the recent en-
reimbursement of hundreds of thousands Of
loyal men from whom their birthright has
been hitherto unjustly withheld by means of
class legislation, and in both wicked attempts
are being made to defeat the cause of right by
the raising of false issues. In England the
Tories have started the No POpery cry, in the
hope Of thereby misleading the ignorant and
unthinkng masses here the wretched slogan
of "a White Mans Government" is the watch
word with which the Democracy advance to
battle, depending upon miserable prejudice
to achieve that from which enlightened reason
instinctlyely recOils. But the friends of free
dom, and OF equal rights for all are eminently
hopeful as to the issue Of the pending conflict,
although alive to the fact that the fight will
be hard one. We published yesterday por-
ton Of tie powerful aud telling speech with

having formed an unworthy alliance with the
Roman Catholics of Ireland Mr. Gladstone
contends that it is not for religious purposes
peculiar either to the one side or the other
that the English Liberals have espOused the
cause of their oppressed Irish fellow subjects,
but for purposes of civil justice, and for the
promotion of great national interests common
both to England and Ireland. The present
Liberal movement in England is intended to
serve not narrow sectional, but comprehensive
national ends, which can only be promoted
through the triumph of justice. So with us
here the Republican party, the party OIL
liberty, is the national party, and the policy
we support is the policy which, by insurlng
the permanent tranquility of the South through
the operation of laws guaranteeing civil justice
and equal political rights to all classes, VIII
most assuredly advance our national weil-Delng

that the only point in which the parallel fails
is. that while across the waters the sons OF
Ireland are found fighting side by side with
the champions of freedom, here they should, as
a body. be seen in the same ranks with the
foes of canal RIGHTS

The Seymour declining" method Of securing
O nomination from an unwilling convention
was neatly practiced in the Hid Ohio District
the other day by one of the original inventors
of the method, Mr.. c. L. Vallandigham. After
profuse prOtestations that he was not candi-
date, the distinguished martyr suddenly tele-
graphed that "Barkis was willin," and so car
red of the prize from between the disconnected
contestants. A JOY like to that which filed
the Republicans of the country when Seymour
was nominated animates our Ohio friends with
the certain promise of the election of Gen.
Schenck-or, indeed, any honest man who may
be put up-over the notorious Vallandigham.

How widely the influence of THE TRIBUNE,

every week, it would scarcely be possible to
calculate. Not less than million different in

a million readers see one or other of these jour

Ex-Gov. Seymour says" Never before in the
"history of our country has Congress taken
"menacing attitude toward its electors" 1t is
certain that the Democratic electors for whom
Mr.. Seymour speaks have often taken a
menacng attitude toward Congress. They did
so in 1860, when they voted their States out of
the Union, and during the entire Rebellion,
until their menacing attitude was taken out
of them by Gen. Grant.

their talents, but make them appear

zens of your City in view of securing an
appropriation for the purpose of carry ing
into effect the L. S. Branch Mint author
lied to be established in Carson City. As
am an applicant for scientific position
in the institution l would suggest that you
would, or, secure the services of some one
to get up petition, signed by all your most
influential citizens, setting forth the neces-
ity of the institution in your State, also that
the growing wants of the country demand
that an appropriation should be made in
order to bring the institution into opera

Now isn't this modest? Or if not
modest, what is it You are good
clean boy Jonesey, and you shall have
the Nevada Branch Mint to revel in +;
and if Postmaster Ben Small don't help
you, he will merit the just Indignation
of your many admirers in Carson.

GENERAL CANBY AND THE REBELs.-

GENERAL CANBY AND THE REBELs.-Says
the Washington Chronicle: Major General
F.. r. S. Candy, commanding the Second
Military District, has just issued an order
removing thirteen Of the secession aldermen
of Charleston and appointing Union
men in their stead. Among his
new appointees are seven colored men Of the
highest responsibility, all Of whom are prop
erty holders in the city. For this move in
the right direction he is bitterly denounced
bv the reealeitraAt traitors Of the Queen City
OF Re beldom, who were so exultant over his
order postponing the municipal election of
Charleston. General Candy is not only 4
soldier without fear and without reproach,
but is universally recognized as the best jurist
il the army. While we regret his General
legislature OF South Carolina from the time
6xed By the Constitutional Convention, We
desire 70 accord to him ALWAYS the need Of
acting upon the highest esnvicsioas Of duty.

| KEEP CoOL.-The Butte County Press
| takes US TO task for expressing the opinion
| that General Grant is not drunkard. We
are not disposed to enter into any controver-
| sy on the question, but desire to foreStau all
future misrepresentation by saying that We
do not propose to use the columns of the
Rescue to forward the interests Of any polit-
ical parry. The statement made by us rela-
tive to the habits of General Grant, was in
tended to be a discussion of fact merely.
he opinion that General Grant was not a
drunkard was founded upon the testimony Of
our eastern exchanges. Since then we have
other and corrobating testimony to the same
effect, so that we cannot take anything back.
We fail to see that the Press has anything of
which to complain. From evidence before
US we do not believe that General Grant is a
drunkard; we cannot change our opinion
merely to oblige Bro Hall. We attached but
little importance to the political bearing Of
the testimony, not being aware at the time it
drunkenness comprised the sum OF national
issues.-Ihe Rescue.
"Bro. Hail." who, besides being a
strapping braggart of six feet two or
more, that any lad with as much pluck
as a rabbit can run all over the country

the world, is hardly worth being an
swered so court-ously as you have seen
fit TO do. "Bro." Rescue.

A GLANCE AT CARsON.-The Trespass Of
last evening says: Tho State Prison, under
the management of our most worthy Lieu
tenant Governor, James S. Siingerland, is
already a credi. to the State. The fire of a
year ago was the best thing that ever hap
pened to the State in that quarter, up to that
time. 1t cleared out the patchwork of for
mer times, and left the ground clear for
Slingeriand to commence substantial struc-
ture. The building is now in three distinct
parts, all under one roof, with halls COM
municating, but with two heavy fire walls Of
ponderous sandstone blocks, running from
the foundation to the roof. This will always
be perfect security against the destruction
of the whole establishment BY fire origin
ating in any one division. The inner work
is all sandstone and iron. The cells are all
walled entirely of stone, cut and dressed in
large blocks connected BY iron rods let deep
into each other-two rods into each block.
1.-THE Spring Races, over the Carson
Course, George Lewis. proprietor, are to
commence Friday next, 18th, as per an
nouncement published in our advertising
columns. To prevent misunderstanding, it
might be stated that these races are no
country matter: no little bit of amusement
limited to ranchers nor stock men about
Carson; several gentlemen, known horse
fanciers, have blooded horses in training,
and the purses will be warmly contested for.

out, the st. Charles Hotel, the Magnolia,
John Fox's News Depot, Deacon Rice's
banking Office, and everything in Carson,
but the Pavilion, seemed to be fourishing,
