L~AwLEssSrss AT GoLp HrLL.-Yester-
day afternoon about three hundred and
fifty members of the Miners Union at
Gold Hill, Nevada, made a raid upon
the Chinese laborsrs on tho Virginia and
Truckee Railroad. They drove the Chi
away from their work, but did
not attempt any personal violence. The
Sheriff Of the county and officers were
present, and contented themselves with
reading the Riot Act and watching the
exploits Of the guerrillas. Il has been
announced, says the dispatch, that the
officers Of the road have determined to
suspend operations, and that its COM
pletion has been indefinitely postponed.
Here, then, we have a taste of the fruits
Of Democracy, rs promulgated by its
press and speakers, for such acts of
lawlessness as the one referred to would
never have been attempted on this coast
but for the encouragement given by that
party. 1t is, perhaps, fortunate that the
Pacific Railroad was built before that
party became so bold, or its completion,
like the Virginia road, would have to be
"inde6nitely postponed" We cannot
see in what way Chinese laborers on a
railroad a interfere with the privileges
Of miuers in a distant section. Tho &C.
ton Of the Gold Hill miners must, there
fore, have been prompted by the lowest
aud meanest prejudices, regardless Of
the laws of the State and the interests
Of their own section. The Chinese
were driven off into the hills, and have
been Hocking back to Virginia for pro-
lection. 1t is hoped that steps will be
taken to bring their asssilanss to JUS
tice.-Sde. Bee.

AN Issue FAIRLY MET.-A gang Of
white men have driven of the Chinese
laborers from the Virginia and Truckee
Railroad. They thereby challenge the
right Of the directors to pay their OWL
money to whomerer they see fit. The
latter have promptly accepted the chal-
lepge, and ordered the discharge Of all
tie white men on the liue. In other
words, the work has been brought to q
stop. This is a simple, direct and cour-
ageous way of meeting the issue. So
long as the white men choose that the
work shall stand still, the gentlemen
who are building the road will probably
consent to accommodate them. They can
find abundant other uses for their
money. Iu the meantime, the p%ro,peri-
~ Of the community is held at check.
This railroad was designed mainly to
render available the low.grade ores, Of
which thousands Of ton, are still left in
the upper works Of the mines. Also, it
would have reduced the freight received
at Virginia-that is, would have re-
duced their cost to customers. The ex-
traction Of these low ores would have
given employment to hundreds of men.
Other hundreds would have been en-
on the railroad itself. All this
is blocked for the present. It is & won
derful mistake TO suppose that the capi-
talist suffers anything by the delay. He
will simply pursus the even tenor Of his
previous way, loaning his money at two
per cent. per mouths. r. Times.

removed from the cities into the plains,
but obtained eredence in Europe, where
a large number of ships bound from
Bremen and Hamburg to South America
were detained until news arrived of the
non-ful6llmsnt Of the prophecy. The
representations were certainly Of o
most alarming character, as it was pre-
dicted that the whole continent Of South

The NEVADA RIorkRs.-The conduct
of tho Miners Union rioters, in driving
of the Chinese laborers from their work
on the Virginia aud Truek-e Railway
last Wednesday, was one Of those out
RACES which no State can afford to
tolerate, and which should not again be
allowed, IL the whole military power Of
the State is required to prevent it. By
the same rule that governed this mob,
the native Americans would anywhere
be justified in expelling white foreigners
from their work; and, VIC assume, with
out a knowledge Of particulars, that
this mob was largely composed Of
foreigners, since native Americans are
everywhere proverbial for their respect
for the law and the lawful rights Of
others. These Chinese hare just as
good a right to work on that railway as
those who drove them away, and their
employers violated no law either OF the
statutes, good taste or morals in hiring
them. Both employers and EMPLOYEES
may demand the States protection, and
either may sue the State for damages
sustained by this interruption. It is,
therefore, the States interest as well as
its duty to promptly cause the arrest
and punishment Of the rioters, and the
sooner this is done the better 1t will be
for all acknowledgements Onion.

A MFMBER of the Pennsylvania Senate de-
claIes that some of the new officers employed
by the House have "sold out their places for
$500 and gone home." AS their duties were
merely nominal, 1t matters little whether they
provide substitutes or not, and for all practi-
cal purposes they might as well dispense with
this formality. As no real service is to be
rendered to the Commonwealth, taxpayers
will derive no benefit from the occasional ap-
pearance of idle loungers among pastors and
folders, or the actual attendance of an unne-
cessary number of doerkeepers and messen-
gers. The people understand that the public
money is to be squandered among friends and
favorites, and the paltry attempts to conceal
this fact only add insult to injury.

fate with the Legislatures Of the States, which,
under the Constitution, are its final arbiters.
At this stage in the process, the proposed
amendment Is certain Of defeat.
Mr.. Boutwell, professed to believe that the
amendment would certainly be ratified by
twenty-five States, leaving but three more
necessary to render it portion of the funda-
mental law Of the land. The result Of the
recent elections in several States which have
voted upon the subject would seem to indi-
cate that these expectations are not to be
realized at present. Connecticut Ohio,
Kansas, and Missouri, each of which endorsed
the Republican ticket at the November cleo.
tion, have within few years unqualfedly
repudiated negro suffrage for themselves, the
vote in Missouri, especially, presenting a
striking contrast to that for President. In
November Grants majority was nearly
$4,000, while an amendment to the State con-
stitution striking out the word "whte" was
on the same day defeated by nearly
10000, and if a full vote had been
cast on the proposition there is no
doubt but that the majority against It would
have been swelled to 30, 600. We have no
need Of going to Missouri to obtain test of
public sentiment in our own State, in which
negro suffrage will undoubtedly be unpopular
with majority of the people for several years
TO come. Altogether there are at least twelve
States which are morally certain to reject the
proposed amendment, viz: - Connecticut,
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Della
ware, Maryland, Kentucky, Arkansas, Mis-
souri,, Indiana, California, and Oregon, while
but ten adverse votes are required. The
prospects at present, therefore, are very slim;
but if Congress sees fit to try the experiment,
it can do SO without retarding its final achieve
ment. In due time manhood suffrage will be
established as a measure OF policy as well as
justice, either by separate State action or by
general amendment to the Federal Consti-
tuition,

British lad is crsmming the Latin and Greek
for which he will never have any use, unless
circumstances permit him to startle the House
of Lords with classic quotation.
Our House Of Representatives and the House
Of Commons might be chosen as fair in
stances of the respective characteristics OF
the two nations, and it would be just to
say that the British representative body, with
twice the numbers, contains about as many
talking members as ours does Of silent ones.
Our institutions lead inevitably to more stump
oratory than do theirs, and, OF course, it is a
peculiar style that can "hold its own"
against brass bands and torchlight PROFESSIONS
but we seriously doubt whether Great Britain
can to-day furnish, either in quality or quan-
tity, a band of lecturers or orators, either on
science or politics, capable Of competing with
their American compeers.
