COLFAX CORRESPONDENCE.

Editor Herald - Veni, Vidi Vici was
the expression of n great Roman General,
and we'll may old Placer ,ru,hf"Ily apply the
same to The late election. We have iri-
nmphed beyond all expectation, and given
such blow to Rsdic ssm. that they bow
their heads 10 shame and confusion, and
can no longer look Democrat square in
the face.
Without means, and contending against
seven hundred and 6fiy-e;ght majority, last
year, our nominees buckled on their armor
and fought manfully. Theirs va. the s,rug
gle Of right against wrong, truth against
ialsehood, labor against money, and for the
supremacy Of the white over the black races.
|. is no wonder then bat intelligent Amer
leans Of any party, who have the good Of
their county at heart, should loahe the ne.
"a; ious doctrine of this Fifteenth Amend
ment and spurn ils advocates. The e.ec-
ion has manifested this, that no party, how.
ever powerful, can impose, for any length Of
time, obnoxious and OF jectooable measures
on An intelligent people. Owing to the strict
discipline of our "Section Boss" | was not
permitted, nor had | time to mpgIs in politics.

time as possible. The hint took we'll, and
the Judge spoke until nearly eleven O'Clock.
jlsl long enough TO tire hs audience and
Lisperse them. The Democrats who remain
ell then called on MUndav. but owing 10 the
lateDess Of the hour, he made but few re-
marks in answer to some false statements of
Hollis. On the whole, the action of the
RAIDS that night, in refusing a fair debate.
Iisgused many, and made votes for ou-
party.
Our Radical friends rejoice much over the
election Of their legislative ticket. while al
the same time their jpy is mingled ~iih grief.
when they see that whole souled Democrat
and upright man, E NJ Banvard take bis
seat in the State Senate. and Ben. Dunnam
have charge Of tho Red Lion" The idea is
terrible. oh weep, ys evil d"ers, for your
destruction is at hand" The Fifteenth
Amendment killed you, after another cleo
lion there will not bs a vestage Of you left.

and famed only for the wreck YOU have made.
and The Disgrace YOU would bring upon the
white people for tue ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Of youI

1t is predicted bv Republicans that our
Assemhl, men elect will make their mark in
our next Legislature. Well have no doubt
hey will make their mark some~ here hu'

The Democrats Of Cofax are now sargUinr
nf success in the coming judicial election.
they are gird,ng their l,ius for the fgh'
and are determined to beat Mcfarland fpi
the supreme jndgeshp. Many good and
homes, Republicans will oppose him. Let
be Democrats pat up good man Tor THAI
position. Let Us bring out man who
would rather haze his daughters associate
with vir,uous and Intelligent Democratic
neighbors than abandoned women one who
prefers Democracy to gamblng--and one who
would rather he a trus Democrat than de
liver his immortal soul to His Satanic Males
ty, and the victory is ours. MACK.
