THE ARABIA OF AMERICA" was the
term used by Bishop Thomson as descrip
tive of Nevada; and writer in the New
York Times of Dec. 26 calls the Pacific Coast
the American Palestine. He says:
have often been struck, in travelling
through California and Nevada, with the old
Bible descriptions of nature and scenery, as
applicable here so that the wonderful Ian
guage and imagery of the Hebrew prophets
and poets find continual exegesis and COM
mentary in ones journey. The modern ac-
counts, too, of Syria and Palestine cores
pond surprisingly with ones observations
here.
The mining towns of Nevada, nestled
among the bare and mighty hills, will recall
how the bare mountains of Judea were
round about Jerusalem" and the comfort
In "the shadow of great rock" as one de-
scends the treeless slopes to Carson river,
will remind one of that beautiful image of
the Hebrew poet.
The great importance of wells and places
where water is found on a journey, which
appears SO much in early Jewish history,
recall ones observations in the saliferous
deserts of Nevada and the barren wastes of
Eastern California. where the stations are
wells, and all bargains or treaties must be
made near some fresh water spring.

MAN SHor BY POLICEMAN IN GOLD
HrLL.-Charles Thompson, for some time
employed at Dall's mill in Washoc Valley,
was shot and instantly killed in the station
house in Gold Hill, by Policeman Conley,
about o'clock on Saturday morning last.
Thompson had been arrested and taken to
the station house by Conley, soon after

SENATOR NYE OF NEVADA, in debate in
the United States Senate, Dec. 20, on the
bill to provide for the exemption of cotton
from internal tax, said:
In thirty years we shall have one hundred
and seven million inha bitants in the United
States, and the surface of our country frGm
the Atlantic to the Pacific will be studded
thick with the abodes of happy, intelligent,
thrifty producers. That will pay your debt,
and nothing else will. Sir, would like to
relieve industry, and l would tax the luxu-
ries of this land to pay the interest Of the
debt, and / would let future generations pay
their proportion of this terrible liability, be-
cause this battle has been fought for them
and they will reap the glory and honor Of it.
| would let every spindle run quicker and
every hoe ply easier, and for every pillow |
would substitute two in its place, and | would
make the desert, as it is called, across this
country. bud and blossom as the rose.
There, Mr.. President, lies the true source Of
power and wealth TO pay this dept unfelt. /
would open the rich mines Of the West where
every mountain is teeming with the precious
metals. Upon the Pacific Railroad which is
being constructed l would carry cheap i'm
plements and cheap labor to unsowel the
wealth of this nation, and | can produce you
gold and silver enough from the Missouri
river to the Pacific Ocean in five years from
the time of the completion of that road to
roll up to the sum OF five hundred millions
per annum
A nation that produces gold and silver
enough of its own, that does not have to ex-
change its products in order to buy coin with
which to pay its interest, can never be poor.
No nation on earth can bear burden like
our own; for every mountain from the Mis-
souri, river TO the Pacific Ocean is teeming
with the material TO do it. Therefore, sir,
l say let loose the energies of your people
take off the taxes that fetter their industry
and let the population and the products Of
the country grow up to the magnitude Of
your debt.

which is to be held at the Ormsby House on
next Friday night will afford our citizens a
the same time, to render much needed as
sistaEce to the exhausted school fund. The
price Of tickets has been fixed at So 90.
When we state that there are no public
moneys wherewith to keep the school run

being closed unless prompt and liberal con-
eributions are made in its behalf we present,
IN brief, a case which is, in itself, sufficient
argument in favor Of the purchase of all the

hands of the Board of Directors and Com

Carson will be doing themselves a lasting

Not Invited.


The Ohio Senate having consum-
ed a considerable portion of two
days in discussing the propriety Of
inviting General Sherman and Gen
eral Thomas, while in Ohio, to visit
Columbus, have finally concluded
that the proposed invitation should
be withheld. The joint resolution
offered by General Keifer, extend
ing the invitation, was adopted, re
considered. referred to, the Judi
ciary Committee, reported upon in
three separate reports, discussed,
amended, ana finally rejected alto
gether. The Democratic Senators
found many serious, and in their
Judgment, fatal objections to the
language of these resolutions. The
word ',loyar' seemed particularly
offensive, doubtless because the
thing signifed was objectional le.
One member dislikcd to hear Sher-
man and Thomas referred to as
''most distinguished officers per-
haps because he had Mcclellan,
Buell. and Eitz John Porter in his
mind. Another Senator objected
to the enormous expense that would
be incurred in sending a committee
to Cincinnati .........
The truth is, the dove-iike Democ-
racy don't like to have these
warlike heroes about, Their
breath has corrosive effect upon
every species of copper. Their
very presence eAcites the
good and the true to emulate
their virtues. Their coming re-
kindles the fires of patriotism and
arouses the old love and devotion
to the flag and the Union. There
is something in the atmosphere that
Surrounds true soldier that is un-
healthy to the Democratic system
In the presence Of a great soldier

delnoraiized and have been known
to shout for the defenders of the

The Washington correspondent
of the Cincinnati Commercial. in
speaking of the effect of the election
in the Eighth District upon the
Democratic members Of Congress,
says:
They pretend to regard it as q mat
ter of trifling Importance, but up to
Monday night every Democrat in
Congress had his eyes onit as stead
fastly and as hopefully as if the next
Presidential election depended upon
it. Now that it has gone against them
they are all playing Toots and telling
people that ''it's Of no consequence

Address of the Republican Mem

:
bers OF the General Assembly.
TO the loyaz Union Electors Of the
State Of Ohio. 81
The great and vital Importance of
the issues involved in the approach
ing State and National elections, i'm
pei the Union Republican members
ofthe General Assembly of this
State to call attention to the impory
tant and beneficial influences of
large attendance of the friends and
supporters of the vernment, at
Columbus, on the occasion Of the
State Convention on the 4th of
March next
Tho approaching campaign, in the
issues involved, is more important
and vital to the peace and prosperity
of the country than any political
contest which has preceded it, The
great questionsso # the war are yet I'M
settled. The party that involved
the country in war, deluging it with
the blood OF our young men, aud
bringing griefan misery to house
holds all over the land, is now max
ing the most desperate and unscru-
Ipulons efforts to regain control of
the State and National Govern
ments. We, therefore, earnestly
implore our loyal fellow citizens to
come up to the capitol ofthe State
on that day in large delegations,
composed Of the sages and young
men of the party who have sustained
t the Government in it's hour of trial
| the veterans and soldiers who have
fought and bled in its defense, to
organize for thorough campaign.
The recent glorious success in the
Eighth Congressional District assn
res us that the current Of defett has
been happily and successfully check
ed. Let this reaction be further en-
couraged and promoted by the as
semblage Of large numbers OF the
friends Of the country on the day ma
med, to secure thorough and eff
cient organization of our forces, bac
ked by a hearty determination that
victory no less glorious than that
of 1863, shall again rejoice and glad
| den loyal hearts all over the land
! It is expected that the railroads of
the State will issue half. fare tickets,
and our Union friends of Columbus
invite their loyal fellow citizens to
the hospitality Of their houses on
that day. A joyous time may be
expected, one that will gladden. the
heart of every patriot, and .inaugu-
rate 3 campaign that will result in
the final triumph efliberal principals
and give peace and prosperity to the
whole republic.
All delegations, however numer-
Gus, will be entitled to seats in the
Convention, but the votes of the
Convention will be as indicated in
the call Of the State Central Com

UPPER SANDUsKY, Feb. IL, 1868.
ED. PIoNEER-In O. late number of
the PIONEER there appeared an arti-
Gle from d "Soldier," which was ia
vorably noticed, editorially, bysyou,
suggesting the name of:our fellow
townsman Gen. Kirby, for "Clerk
of the Supreme Court of our State
While that was done by one who ap-
preciates the General, from personal
knowledge, for his valor on the field
of battle, and for his sterling quail
ties as man and citizen, without
consultation with the General Or
any Of his many and warm friends,
who now surround him in his walks
of civil life, we trust that Soldier
will not consider it a reflection upon
his motives, when other friends of
the General, prompted by his sug
gestions, seek to PROMOTE the Cen
eral to the well merited honors Of a
higher position, viz: that Of SEC
RETARY or STATE!
We therefore, now, through your
columns, desire to present to the
people Of Ohio, Gen. Isaac Miner
Kirby, of Wyandot county, as cam
lidate for the office ofSECRETARY
[OF STATE, subject to the, action
Of the Republican Convention to be
holden in Columbus on the 4th day
of March, 1868, with the full ass,l-
rance and knowledge on our part Of
his ability and integrity.
AS to his loyalty we refer you to
his comrades in arms, during the
long years ofbloody strife, with the
hosts Of treason, on almost count
less fields, with his hope and faith,
in common with theirs, ever strong
in the final success of the, principles
ofjustice, right and truth, even in
the darker hours Of temporary de
| feat!
Like many others he has not
turned his back on the work he then
did, but stands erect beneath the
stars and stripes, the proud. emblem
of American valor, ever ready to
defend it from foes within or with
out
Men Of Ohio, he carried your
banner in the front Of The 1roce
we ask you now to place it in his
hands again, and we assure you that
it never will trail in the dust in the
face of the foe.

The CASE DECIDED. The impor-
tance of the Supreme Court decision
in the Georgia and Mississippi eases
can hardly be over estimated. The
ground taken by the Court that the
matter is purely political, and there
fore not within its cognizance, effec-
tually disposes of all hopes and fears
of the court interfering with the
progress of Reconstruction. With
the cases thus decided fall to the
ground all the cases brought before
it, OF in preparation to be SO brought
involving in any way the working of
the Reconstruction acts. The fact
that the Court was unanimous in its
opinion on the principle involved is
as unexpected as it is gratifying

GREAT SPEECH OF SENA-
TOR MORTON.

We publish the great speech of
Senator Morton in this weeks Pro
NEER, which. we hope will receive an
attentive and careful perusal. The
speech stamps it's illnstrious author
as the master brain of the nation.
Senator Reverdy Johnson, in his
reply to it, says: ,-.s
81 proceed now to the speech of
the honorable member from In
diana, Mr.. Morton. In common
with every member of the Senate, 1
listened to that speech not only
with pleasure, but with admiration.
It was courteous, logically argumen-
tative, and had the true spirit of elo==
quence. It was a speech of which
the Senate has just cause to feel
proud. It brought back our debates,
if they have wandered from that
standard, to. the standard of former
days, when no personal reflections
we're indulged in, when high and
elevated principles guided the dis
cussion, when the good Of the coun-
try alone seemed to be considered,
and not the mere success Of party"
When you are through with the
speech, please hand it to some
neighber, with the request that he
do the same in turn, and thus give
the speech universal circulation. It
deserves it. r. -.s.... Sore

TAXATION OF NATIONAL BANKS. -

The New York Times says of the
late Republican victory in the Eighth
District. .....-..-.. ....-
Gen. Beatty, the Republican cam
didate in the vacant Ohio district,
has been elected to Congress by a
majority of over 1000; last Fall
the same district gave only 246 Re
publican majority. Some of our
over sanguine Democratic neigh
bors may find, in this circumstance,
reason to moderate and stone down"
somewhat their exultant eXpecta-
tions. They may see that they are
not quite so certain as they sup
posed Of sweeping the Northern
States in the coming Presidential
contest. The Republican party, be
yond all doubt, has been greatly
weakened by the eNcesses which
have marked the action of its lead
ers; but it is not yet, by any means,
SO reduced in strength as to make
its overthrow a matter Of course.
One feature Of the canvass merits
notice. The Republican candidate
took ground openly and strongly in
favor of paying the National bonds
in greenbacks. That this contribu-
ted greatly to his strength we pre-
sumo cannot be doubted. The
West is generally in favor of infa-
ton, and no man, we think, would
stand much chance of success in
contesting any district of Ohio,
either on the ground of contracting
the currency, or of redeeming our
bonds in coin. ,..-..5,.,.. ....,.. -.
