in its glory, in Nye county, by the exc
dus thence of the Silver Bend Reporter
which, relying upon Democratic pabu.
lum for sustenance, was forced TO
change camp and move off toward the
taller grass Of Lander county Being
thus left sole occupant of the fold, the
Champion reviews the situation as fol
lows:
We properly make this the occasion for
modesily mentioning the success achieved BY
the Champion. We started our little paper
two months ago without previous announce
ment, and have made TO appeals for sub
scribers or advertisements. We can point
to-day to over six columns of paying adver-
tl>ements and subscription list of several
hundred patrons, which has steadily in
creased i'll numbers every week. We express
our thanks TO the merchants of Belmont and
elsewhere, for their liberal patronage. If we
shall continue TO merit that patronage we
hope to continue to receive it. We have
kept thus far the promise we made in our
opening number, and hope to receive the
support of those whose best interests we ad-
vocate.

THE DIRTIEsT THING YET.-When Gen
eral Grant left Washington TO come West he
was followed by sneaking spy i'll the employ
of the New York World, who wrote dirty
letters of personal abuse to that paper about
the Generals trip. The only fact which this
hired sneak really discovered during his
journey was that three glasses of beer were
actually taken into the car which General
Grant and the party nlpanying him oc-
cupied, but whether the said beer was con-
sumed by the General or by others OF the
party the smeller could not positively state.
The same contemplate spy, after trailing
around after the General, when he went to
visit relations in Ohio, and, finding nothing
bad to report, was finally observed and &C
costed by friend OF the General, and the
fellow admitted that he was sent by the
di<credit of the General, but that he had
orders TO report nothing IN his .faro7.
During the war this Same World made
great fuss because the Government employed
detectives t. track men who were engaged in
plotting treason, and called it mean and
dirty aud contemplate business. And yet
the same paper sends hired spy after
man. not engaged in plotting treason, ncs
dangerous to the life of the nation, but hon.
ored by the whole world its foremost de-
fender and champion-a man hired to drag
the cutters for miserable ISLANDERS against the
fair name of the faithful soldier. and mder
orders to report nothing in his .taror'
The particular individual selected for this
dirty job is named Schuyler, and he is now
in or about this city. He was at the planters
house recently, and it is said that he is still
spying about in the neighborhood. OF course
nobody will do him any harm, for we are a /
aw abiding people here, but it would be
.maz;ng if any gentleman should condescend
o associate with hiln.--St. Louis Democrat

part of Mr. Dunn hardly justihes the

of the rrgeoerated Democracy, the
State Capital Reporter that:
Tie negroes Of Louisiana are the worst of

Unforeseen Consequences.

!
Under the above head the Dem
cclatic Herald of jackson, Ohio,
published BY Smith Townsley, late
of Batavia, and edited by w. w.
Malott, also late Of Clermont coun-
ty, clips from an Indiana paper, a
statement that if the spirits Of the
dead are conscious of what is going
on in this world, that Thomas Ha-
mer is no doubt yexed and troubled,
that he should have ever given the
appointment as cadet to West
Point to !. S. Grant. Whereupon
Malott mournfully says: Yes,
General Thomas L, Hamer was one
OF the best and sturdiest Democrats
that ever lived, but that was one of
the greatest mistakes of his life y
and further on he says, "that if he
could have seen, he would have
permitted his good right arm, that
did such brave and noble deeds in
Mexico in the service of his coun-
try, to have been severed from his
body ere it signed the rccommen-
dation that procured Grants en-
trance into the Military Academy at
West Point" And then further on,
Malott warming up with his sub
iject, pictures himself at the humble
and obscure grave Of Hamer, and
can't help but draw a comparison
between the migrate son, and he
who fastened him upon the country
much to the disparagement of this
,"man butchern-as he styles Grant
a little further on-and then he
winds up by telling how fortunate
it is that Hamer is dead, so that he
can't know what a terrible wrong
he did the Democratic party by APP
pointing Grant to a school where
''man butchering'' is taught. 1t is
true Grant has been a pretty bad
pill for the Democracy to swallow,
but we don't know that they ought
to complain any more, as the same
thing that was damage to the Dem
ocratic party alias the Southern reb-
els, that's that educated Grant, edu-
Gated Lee. But then he was true
Southern gentleman, they say, and
was fighting for the rights of the
South, that makes a difference you
know.
I Now, in all seriousness, we do
not know how the brave soldiers
in jackson county, and their friends,
tolerate such sentiments as are cop
led above. Ii Grant is a "butcher"
so are all who fought under his
command; and if Hamer, who was
q patriot as well as Democrat, is
to be damned for this appointment
of Grant, then some of the rest
of the worthless who have
gone from labor to reward, will
find a hotter reception than was
given to them by the brave boys
who fought to preserve the liberties
of our country.
We believe that General Thomas
L. Hamer will be remembered and
praised by all patriots for that one
act of his more than all others, and
we suppose that rebels and rebel
sympathizers will damn him in the
same ratio Clermont Courier.

1t is an involuntary exclamation,
but what Of that? Is it not, there

You, my pretty town cousin, may
pout "coarSe" about them; but
that is only a conventional word, it
dosen't mean the same thing in any
two places. But there are some
few things about them which we do
like-they are simple and timid, and
thoroughly natural. Better a thou
sand times, for the hopes of the
world, that the mothers of the COM
ing generations be awkward with
their stores Of health, than so very
fine, sentimental, and dawdling.-
The boys and girls who have not
yet opened their bright eyes on the

country girls ofthe present genera

Of physical robustness and activity.
