A NOTE from our friend John b.
Bowden, messenger for W., FIX Co.,
dated Winnemucca, Oct. IA, says :
Two murders were committed at
Battle mountain at o'clock this P.
None quarter of mile and the
other four miles from the station.
/. T. Swim has been arrested and Is
here, confined in box car, waiting
to be sent to Unionville.
The Humboldt National OF the
10th gives the name of one man who
lost his life as John Goodwin, and
says the other, mentioned above as
murdered also, made his escape un-
harmed. 1t appears from Swlm's
statement that the two men attempt
ed to rob him and he killed Good
win in defending himself.

HUMBOLDT County, Nevada, is hav-
ing an interesting season on the
county seat question. A law of the
Legislature makes it obligatory on
the Commissioners TO order an cleo
ton on the proposition for removal
on receipt Of a petition signed by a
certain number of bona fide voters.
The requisite number was procured,
but Judge Berry, of the District
Court, decided that each petitioner
should subscribe to a certain oath
in order to make it legal. Conse-
quently the petition is again being
circulated with the necessary oath
appended, etc. Winnemucca, Mill
City and Unionyille are all anxious
for the honor of being the seat OF
power.

The General Assembly completed
its organization yesterday and i'm
mediately went to work with a
spirit which clearly indicates that
they mean business. By reference
to the legislative proceedings it will
be seen that largo number of inns
portant bills were introduced on a
variety of subjects of the deepest
interest 10 the people of the State.
The ills to be cured are numerous
and radical. They can be treated
successfully only by decided legisla-
ton. We are satisfied from
the character of the members of the
two houses that their action will be
controlled by wisdom and justice.
We believe that the interests of the
State are in safe hands, that the
members will return to their con-
stituents at the end Of the session
with the proud satisfaction OF
having restored to the people their
just rights, and will receive from an
appreciative constituency the wei
come announcement "Well done,

UNDER Radical rule, the State OF
Tennessee was made TO sustain a
large number of eleomosynary gen
tlemen, scallawags and carpet~bag-
GERS, who held on TO the Radical
party as camp followers do to an
army. To make places for these
seedy specimens of the politician,
the imitation as well as the genuine,
q host of Offices had to be created,
and where they could not well be
tackled on to the State, they were
fastened upon the moro populous
and wealthy counties. Thus,
county commissioners wero created
to do the work in many counties
that had been performed in an enT
tirely satisfactory manner by the
magistrates. 1t is gratifying to see
that these nests for adventurous and
needy home Radicals are to be
broken up. Judge Cooper intro
duced a bill in the Senate yesterday
to relieve Davidson county of the
county commissioners, and the tax
pay ers of other counties will speed
ily have a similar benefit rendered
them. In the House Of Represent
atives q similar bill was introduced
by Mai. Walker, and a bill by Judge
Barry to repeal all laws establish
inc boards of county commissioners.
The Judge proposes a "short CUT

HAVE WE A PUBLIC PRINTER?

HAVE WE A PUBLIC PRIMER
This question is proposed by q
resolution offered in the House
yesterday. Among other gross ir-
Irregularities engrafied upon the
Legislative administration OF the
State during the reign of Radical"
Ism, is this of electing a Public
Printer in advance, or in other
wards one Legislature choosing a
Public Printer for its successor.
The Code provides that ga Pub
lie Printer shall be appointed at
each stated session of the General
Assembly by joint ballot of both
Houses" Also, "The Public Prin~
ter shall hold his Office for two
years and no longer" This law
has never been repealed or modified,
and has been in full force since the
adoption OF the Code.
On the I'd of May, 1865, Public
Printer was elected for the then en-
suing two years, or to May 2,
1867.
On the 10Th of February, 1867, q
Public Printer was elected "for two
years succeeding the term of the
(then) present incumbent, or till
May 2, 1869.
On the 10th of November, 1865, q
Public Printer was elected "for two
years from the expiration Of the
term of the Chem present incum
bent, or till May ,, 1871.
Thus in four years and a half
or for the two stated ses-
sions held since the war
the Legislature has assumed tc
1 elect three times or for six years
depriving the present Legislature
and every future one from electlne
a Printer for its own term--if al
preceding elections shall be regard
ed as valid. Such was clearly moi
the intent of the law as laid dowr
| in the Code. On the contrary
it was the purpose of the Code, a:
it had always been tho law before
for each stated session of the Gen
eraI Assembly to elect a Public
Printer for itself. That law is still
in force, ard its violation at any
time heretofore cannot validate any
election not held according to 1t
Without regard to who may be thu
Printer, we trust the Legislature
may adopt the resolution and re
store the law to its full vigor.

TIE Cincinnati Volksblatt Ga
German Democratic paper fur-
nishes another illustration Of the
fact that Radical rulo means high
taxes. That paper says: "In 1865
our taxes amounted to only 81 %
per cent, although the paper dollar
was then far less valuable than
now. In 1866 the proportion fell
to 81 IG. In 1867 it advanced to
50 "A; in 1868, to 50 50, and this
year it is IS 49,"

The case Of Perkins against Lee,
decided by Chancellor Somers in
Memphis the other day, shows how
Radicals elected their men to office.
In cases where there was danger OF
defeat, their registrars issued an
indefinite number of certificates in

given to men, white and black, who
could vote as often as they desired.
That game is now played ont.

THE New York Tribune is losing
patience at the folly of Radical
leaders and the Grant administra-
ton. For instance, in commenting
on the speech of Senator Sumner
on taking the chair of the Massa-
chusetts Republican Convention,
it says "Mr. Sumner, we infer from
his last speech, would do nothing
toward admitting the late Confede-
rate States to the Union) until the
South had solcmnly declared that
they repented of taking part in the
rebellion. This may be statesman
ship; it strikes us as the obstinate
folly Of q martinez or 4 child.

rHr sExAroRIAL CONTEST

THE BENANOAlAL CONANS1-
We spoke in our last issue OF the
unfortunate effort being made by
the opposers of Mr.. johnson to in
duce old Wings representing large
Democratic constituencies to vote
against Mr.. johnson because he
was a Democrat under old party
divisions. Those old Wing mem
bers of the Legislature can not be
made to forget that Mr.. Johnson
ignored old party divisions in his
appointments as President OF the
United States, and that their, imme-
diate constituents ignored old party
preiudices when they sent old
Wings to this Legislature. An
equally unfortunate effort is now.
being made by Mr.. Johnson's
opposers to induce members of the
Legislature, who took the candi-
dato's oath, to vote against Mr..
Johnson because of his Unionism
during the war. What is more
strange, Radical columns are used
to denounce Mr.. Johnson because
of his course during the war. That
Radicalism hates Andrew johnson
with a bitterness that language eans
not express, is not more certain
than that the people of Tennessee
and of the whole South demand his
election to the United States SEN
ate Radiealism hates him because
he is its most powerful and deter"
mined enemy; because he has OPP
posed it at every step; because he
stood firmly for the Constitution
against their legislation outside oil
that instrument; because he resist"
ed their attempts to confiscate and
appropriate the property OF the
South.
The people of the Southern States
urge his election to the Senate be-
cause they remember his determin,
ed defense of their rights under the
Constitution. They remember thai
under his policy as rapidly as the
State governments were re~organ
ICED after the war, the military gov,
ernments wore Withdrawn. They
remember that under that re organ
ization they elected their Senators
and Representatives and their ad
mission was urged by him. Some
of them are yet refused admission
They remember that series OF pow
erful state papers, which h

forty acres and mule would no
have proved an empty threat, but
ruinous reality. Sad as is the con
| dition of the South to, day unde
Radical rule, who can tell what
would have been if President Johr
son, instead of opposing Radical
ism and arousing the country to il
purposes, had yielded to It's dE
signs. Backed as he was by apower
full army, flushed with victory
and an innumerable horde eager tc
gold and for office, the devastate
South would have been the mo
pitiable country that the sun eV'
shcno upon. Not only Virgins

to day been in state of vassalag
but every State in the South wou
