"rh.t same Old rebel Yell.

The. announcement of Seymours nomination
in the New York convention was greeted with
tremendous applause. Startled from self-posses-
sion by its vehemence, an ex-Federal officer in
attendance, exclaimed to a friend, in language
more forcible than polite, BY G. that same
old rebel yell" That shout of unrepentant
rebels was not confined to Tammany Hail. Its
echoes have reverberated throughout the land.
The American people have heard it before, and
they know what it means. Rapidly they have
fallen into line, and to-day the rebel host is
fronted by the mighty Union army, offering no
terms but " unconditional surrender, and pro-
posing to move Immediately upon the Demo-
cratic works. On next Tuesday when the order
is given to advance along the whole line, that
rebel yell will be drowned by ringing Union
cheers, never to be raised again. And when the
smoke of battle clears away and the din of con-
fict subsidies We shall hear again that same
old rebel - wall

TAxATIoN.-One of the planks in the Demo-
cratic platform proposes to tax, for Federal pur-
poses, every farm every poor mans dwelling,
every COW, sheep, pig, the tools of all mechanics
and laborers-in fact, every article of value.
That platform advocates 'equal taxation of every
species Of property, according to its real value''
Can any one see how this will Tighten the taxes
of the poor, or remove the burden from those
who are but poorly able to pay the taxes that are
now imposed upon them? The present, or Re-
publican mode Of taxation for Federal purposes,
does not require the payment of single cent of
taxes on any mans farm, house, stock, or any
species of property whatever, and no man pays
to the Government single cent as taxes whose
income does not exceed $1,000. Let the Demo-
cratic policy prevail and the comparatively poor

ernment to the relief of the rich, who now pay it,

The EVERLASTING Niger. 1T is patent that
the enormity of which these people are guilty in
being black, is considerably lessened when they
manifest Democratic tendencies. The most scru-
pulous Democrat can extend the right hand of
fellowship most cordially to the black one which
holds n Democratic VOTE but shrinks in terror
from the intimation that loyal black man can
rs safely be entrusted with the ballot an ig-
norant, misguided, disloyal white man. 1t is not
SO much that these people are BLACK as that they
generally decline to affiliate with the revolution
airy and reasonable elements which go to make
up the Democratic party.

THERE is no longer doubt that Brick
Pomeroy tells the truth sometimes. In his New
York Democrat he says that ''the World knows,
we know, every member of the convention knows
that Frank Blair's letter secured Frank Blair the
nomination" and that " Frank Blair letter is a
part of the platform That letter is published
under the caption of - Read the Programmes, -
which we hope every man who ever pretended to
be a 'peace Democrat will read.

DESERVING. - Every day furnishes evidence
that conscientious men everywhere are with
drawing from the Democratic party and giving
their support to General Grant. They are fully
impressed with the belief that the issue now is
the same that it in 1864, and that if the
Democratic party succeeds, all that was gained
by the war ID lost.

DEBT AND TAXATIoN.-This is what Seymour
wants talked about most. We will crafty him
with brief reference to the subject. Debt and
taxation came upon the country in consequence
of rebellion initiated and encouraged by DEM
ocrats, prominent aAong whom was Horatio
Seymour. Republican administration has
largely reduced the volume of the debt and the
amount of taxation in the three years since ac-
tive hostilities ceased. The record shows that
this is truth.

TAXATION AND Observation-Disclosures are preach
ing loud against taxation on the one hand and
taxation which they know to be legal and favor
that which they know would be illegal. If the
bonds can be taxed, why did not the Democratic
Legislature, last winter, tax them, as they prom
ised to do if the power was given them? Why
did not the Democratic Legislatures of Kentucky
Ohio, Maryland and other States where they
were in power, tax the Government bonds? In
their speeches and papers the Democrats said
that these bonds could be taxed, and that they
would tax them if the people wonld put them in
power, and yet when placed in power they did
not dare pass any law taxing bonds. The prom
ises of the Democratic party are much like Sa-
tan 's-very deceptive and no more reliable

Hon. CHANCELLOR HARTsoN.-The Chico COu-
rant has the following in regard to the Union
Congressional nominee in the Third District
The next Congressman from this District made
a splendid speech in Chico last Saturday eve
ming. People were disappointed in Judge Hart
son. They had heard it repeated that he was no
speaker. His speech convinced them that be has
few superiors in close, convincing argument
His exorcsm of Johnsons land bills, whereby
he sought to unseltle the land titles of the State,
was severe in the extreme, and showed Demo-
Gratis that to vote to send Johnson back to Con-
gress was to endorse his swindling land schemes,
and the result would be that no settler in the
State would be safe, but thrown into the vortex
of litigation, and ousted from his home. The
bill Of johnson opens up the whole land ques-
ton again, will compel contestants to go to
Washington to defend their cases before the Sec
rotary of the Interior, placing the settler in the
power of the land sharks.
We regret that it was impossible for Mr.. Hart
son 20 visit the northern counties of the District,
but he deemed it his duty to lay the vilainies of
his competitor before the agricultural people who
are asked to vote for him. 1t matters not the
people of the North know their duty in this mat
ter, and will do it. johnson will not be returned
to Congress. Humboldt, Trinity and Siskiyou
counties will increase Hartson's majority from
800 to $50 over last year-more than johnson
beat him then in the whole District.

During the Eve months General Grant was in

The EARTHQUAKE.-The great earth shock of
Wednesday week was generally and severely felt
IN all the counties south of San Francisco, as
well as those bordering the Bay. The damage in
San francisco is variously estimated at from
100000 (the Chamber of Commerce commit
tees fgures) to $4,000, 900. We suspect the lat
ter are nearest correct. The Custom House and
City Hall suffered most, while the Occidental
Hotel, one of the highest buildings in the city,
is comparatively uniniured. The people of that
city take the terrible shake very philosophcally,
ana ike the people of our mountain towns after
a destructive fire, go straight to rebuilding, as
though another shake was not liable to occur be-
lore the hrst damage was repaired. In Alameda
county the shock was very heavy, extending to
the hills. The Court House was DESTROYED, and
the deputy county Clerk killed In San Fran
cisco the number of deaths is reported at twelve.
