UnexampEed PerGGy.

In the Republican platform, adopted
at Chicago in 1868, it is stipulated that
Z" The question of suffrage in all the
loyal states properly belongs to the peo-
pie Of those States" " This was one Of
the cardinal principles on which Gen.
Grant was elected, and the lease Of
power to the Republican party renewed
1t was a solemn pledge given to the
people, on: which their votes were ask
ed. After securing success by such
means, one of the. frs acts Of the par
ty, was to use its whole power to vlo-
late. this pledge, and to take from the
people Of the loyal States the qucs-
tion OF suffrage which properly belongs
to them.
The XVth Amendment which was
introduced into Congress at its first ses-
sion after the election, deprives the
-StaIe& of all authority on the qgestan
o! suffrage, and throws open thc balfot
box, eve Y where, to the votes of all
the races of mankind. Had not the
pledge been given, and had the secret
purpose to take from the people of the
States this vital right been known, the
Republican party would nave been de-
feated. They owe their success topper
fdy, aggravated by the frauds, violence
and injustice with which they are striv-
ing to carry it into execution.
Congress, not satisfied with the pal
pable violation of the covenant with the
people, in proposing the Amendment
in the usual manner have annexed
compulsory provision, applicable to Vir +
ginia, Mississippi and Texas, by which
these States are to be excluded from the
Union until they ratify it.
Party machinery has been called in
to requisition in all quarters, to pre-
vent the people from giving an exIres
sion on the subject, and to effect kh
change in our system Of governmh mhnt
so revolutionary in its character, IN
manner and by means contrary to th'
majority principle, and subversive o
the spirit Of the constitution.
Legislatures have gone through will
the form of ra'ifying, which were elec
ted in the campaign of 1868, stapf din!
with their party upon the Chpag'
pledge other Legislatures, in Slate
ruled by the bayonet, where tx infelli
gent citizens were outlaweG Ave ais
mocked the forms Of ratification,
Take in the whole history of this pre-
ceeding, and from beginning to end, !
is blackened by the most disgracefu de
ception and villainy.
What right l. i the last Pennsslva
MIA Legislature, elected on a pledgg
that the question of suffrage belong
!. to the reopie Of the States, to vote fo
au Al. lment depriving their constit
uents OF any authority over that vita
question: and what right had the bc

Curious Scene in a Rev Orleans
CnWt,
[From the New oueans p!sayuno

FROM the NeW OneaEs Say uH''
Many persons attending the sessions
Of the Recorders Court inthis city have
been edited by tho peculiar solomnity
with which oaths are administered and
the awe with which they are generally
| taken. 1t 50 happened that Wednesday
morning ali .rngainly looking specimen
Of the recently enfrancihise;1i .aade his
appearance before one of these tribunals
iii tho capacity Of q Wit;Hess. The Judge,
with an austerity Of visage that atonco
creates the impression of profound mel
ancholy, held out the book to the wit
ness, and administered his solemn adju-
ration TO speak the truth. AT the con-
cl4sion, CT course, it is expected that
the witness will kiss tic hook. Butthis
ward of the nation" was unused to
criminal proceedings, and entertained
curious ideas Of the manner and pro-
propriety of swearing, and stood erect.
"Why don't you lsiss?' demanded
the magistrate.
"t1't you going tolsiss ?" was again
inc d.
II" repeated the astonished dap-
k, evidently mistalSiag the meaning
Of the Court, and surprised beyond
measure at such an invitation.
Kiss, tell you!' thunderod tho
judge.
=" Yes, sarl yes, sar" exclaimed the
frightened and trembling darkey, nerv-
ing himself for the contemplated en-
brace, and without more ado the long
aap,s of the son Of Ham were thrown
around the Judicial EeclS, and before he
could be prevented a stentorian smack
resounded through the courtroom. !
,"Quit, you beast-help helpl' shouted
the magistrate. But the darkey enjoyed
the luxury, and the embrace was re-
newcd with JUNCTION,
"Take him Off! Take him off cried
the Court, while the loud shouts Of the
spectators testified their appreciation of
TIE fun. At last, however, the officers
Of the Court iaterfered, and the half
strangled Judge was rescued from the
clasp Of the literal witness. - -

How MEN CANE TO HAVE Boards
Won Helmont tells us that Adam was
created without a beard, but that after
he had fallen and sinned, because Of the
sinful propensities which he derived
from the fruit of the forbidden tree a
beard was made part of his punishment
and disgrace, bringing him thus into
nearer resemblance with the beasts TO-
ward whom he made his nature approx
innate. TheSsane, stigma was not in
ficted upon Eve, because, even III her
fall she retained much of her original
modesty, and therefore deserved nosuch
.opprobrious mark. Won Helmont OBJ
serves, also, that no good angel appears
with beardE and this, he says, is acap-
ital sign by which angels may be dis
tinguished.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Last Sunday night two cars of a
freight train ran off the track about 20
miles cas-, of wiunemucca, killing one
white man and two Cinnamon. The
accident occurred from u bowlder at the
side of the track becoming Jared loose
and rolling down on the track
CROPS.
In Ruby Valley and Elko County be-
tween IL, 900 and $4,000 acres OF grain,
principally barley, have been sown this
season, also hundreds OF acres OF pota-
toes, but it is feared that the grass
hoppers will destroy nearly the whole.
as those terrible pests have made their
appearance in great numbers. There
are no grasshoppers at Salt Lake this
season, as they all emigrated west last
year before they laid their eggs. There
are vasts amounts of good grain, farm
ing and p~asturing lands in that section
of the State, and the day is not far dis
tant when they will be considered o;
great value.
NEW QUARTZ MILL.
The Gilligan Company, located on a
rich ledge at Esgan Canyon, are build
ing n fine new 2O-stamp quartz mill,
which they will run on ore from their
vein. The ledge is of silver chloride
ore, about four feet wide, containing
but little gold. 1t has been worked for
the last four or FIVE years, and has al
WAYS paid well, even with the limited
milling facilities at command, but II
will doubtless pay much better when
worked by the new mill, rs Mr.. O'Do'
herty, the Superintendent of the mill,
is considerably experienced in working
the ore already.
NEW DISTRICT DISCOVERED.
Considerable excitement is created III
present by the recent discovery OF II new
district of great reputed richness on the
Ruby range, about four miles north OF
where the old Overland road crosses,
and about 40 miles south OF Elko.
There were only 80 or 10 miners at work
there q week ago; how many there are
at present, of course cannot be stated.
It is called Rousiue, or Racine District.
II /, we'll wooded and watcrcd and the
lodges are all of the most promising
character.
ELKo
Is improving very rapidly, owing TO a
good supply of requisite lumber being
forwarded By railroad. Business OF all
kinds is lively, and the people seem to
have the fullest confidence in the stabii-
ity Of the place. Elko has good "gri-
cultural resources, rs well ns possess
ing great advantages in the way OF loca-
ton, making it permanently II railroad
town of Importance. No town a be
built in its vicinity to detract from 1t in
the least, and from thcre is the shortest
and best route to the mines OF White
Pine District. North Fork, 20 miles
further eastward, is u good locality for
n town, and considerable good hay and
agricultural lands are there. \ very
smooth and desirable natural road also
exists between there and White Pine,
but il is IL miles further than from
Elko. The road to Hamilton is very
dusty at the present time, rs might be
expected, but it is in fine order through
out.
