Duty TO WHAT The Sacramento Union
figures out a victory for the Republicans il
they will only do their duty. The Union
wastes it, ingenuity. 1t is of lille use tc
figure on that basis Goldea Era
The remarks of the Era are well and
braVely made, and may mean more than in,
tended. The party known as the Republi-
can party, has never done its duty since it
has had an existence, to the country, lie
people or the government, and rarely to an
individual. Had it done its duty to The peo
pie and governm ent in 1861, peace, pros
perity and fraterna relationship would have
existed throughout the whole length and
breadth OF our once happy country, from
that day down to the present moment, but
it failed, through the wicked and depraved
hesrts Of its leaders and promptors, and war,
bloodshed, carnage, theft, corruption, public
robbery, tyranny and usurpation have mark
ed its trail throughout these long eight years
Of is power and its shame, until the whole
country loa,hes it and it's infamous record.
Republicans have in the past been remiss in
their duties in voting fo- corrupt and dis
bonest leaders, and can only do their whole
duty by supporting the Democratic nomh
nees at the judicial election.

LIGHTNING-RoDs AND HISTORY.

To The Editor or The Trt6hne.
SIR: Your correspondent on the above sub
ject wrong in his history in his theories SO lar
from the dogma" Of insulation being exploded fifty
years snce the fact is land appeal to the memory Of
the oldest nhabant that they had thought Of
insulation that day. All the Lightning were put
up with staples generally consisted Of rod from
top bottom Professor Horace Mann lived at that day.
and devoted his life to science and here what he says
at later period: The old method OF fastening the rod
to .he house by au iron staple direct invitation OF
rather direct command to the lightning to come in, and
"'-rovv what liberties II takes"
when IL ,oes CONC In we ilI An~. -
&C., &C. When experience proved that the Lightning
would sometimes leave the larger rod and take the
smaller staple its path people began 10 use
and notwithstanding their frequent 1ahure from
improper construction and manner Of applica
tion. their use has constantly increased tc
this day. AS to the cited cases when
insulated rods failed they provo nothing for the rods
may have been otherwise improperly erected, or the IN
suaton was probably OF the kind which the rod passes
through" and which "explode" leaving the rods con-
neced the building only by the staples which hold the
glass We could cite you cases by the column where sta
pied rods have failed TO protect, and other columns
where glass ring insulation has failed because OF the
posion of the glass; and the staple acting conductor
And we admit that any rod may fail II not properly
erected and therefore, the reliability and qualification Of
the operator important the character OF the
rods IT, he says in case, the lightning left the
rod between two nsuaors very sure that had he
looked close would have found some metal there near
to the rod to act rs nducement, the tin gutter
acted in another Of hs 1t only proves. what Is
very generally believed that is dangerous to invite the
lightning from the rod TO the building by any metal
necons although In most cases, the rod being the bet
ter conductor, would safely carry the charge.
