II what Governor Blasdcl officially says
about the corrupt practices Of voters there be
true, We are not certain but an addition Of
the negro element would tend to purity the
ballot in Nevada. II couldn't make matters
worse.-San Francisco Cal.
: That reminds us Of q remark made by
a Louisiana Democrat (Mr. Kloppen-
berg, lately deceased on the evening
of the late Presidential election. Klop-
penberg had been up to Virginia City
during the election, standing around the
polls, and in the evening came down to
Gold Hill. He remarked to US that
after this he would favor " niger suf-
frage." Knowing him to be a strong
Southern man, we inquired why.
Well, to tell you the truth, after see
ing how cheap you can buy Democrats
to vote the Republican ticket, have al
tered my mind On the niger suffrage
question. l don't :hink your party can
buy niggers for two dollars and a half
the price paid for Democratic votes to-
day. The niger wouldn't sell so
cheap" The price was cheap, that's a
fact-but, then, the figures were fully
up to the value-thc demand not being
very great. Blasdel goes in for punish
ing the fellows who will sell their votes.

CONDITION OF THE STATE.-The season
since the rain began has been so far ia
yorable to agriculturists. We have had
q full average of rain-not so much rs
in CO.. or CTS, but more than in 65-6
or in COL or in 62-3, and have had the
advantage Of being able to pillow every
day since the land became sufficiently
moist for that purpose. Last year the
rain came in such torrents, and so con-
~tinually, that from December to spring
the pillow could not be run, save in q few
sandy places, hence the bulk Of last
years crop was sowed late. In another
week. il there is not now, there will be
as much grain sowed rs there was at
the same time last year, and the whole
T of 1869 will cover q larger breadth,
and be much earlier in the ground than
that of 1868. Yesterday may be called
the first spring day, but from this time
forward they will often come. Planting
and sowing is the great business Of the
valley counties now. Preparations for
great work of this kind were made, and
the weather promises permission to car
~ them into effect. The belief is still
prevalent that the rains Of the season
will be light but sven in the driest
seasons there was moisture enough to
give a good crop where the seed was
earthed early. Aud so far this year the
indications for a fine harvest are as good
as they ever wers.-SGc. Bee, llh.

THE VIRGINIA AND TRUCKEE
RAILROAD. y

A bill was presented in the Assembly
yesterday, and referred to the Storey
County delegation, which authorizes
the Board of County Commissioners to
issue bonds to the Virginia and Truckse
Railroad Company, in the sum Of $780,
900, to aid in the construction of a rail-
road from Virginia, Gold Hill and
American Flat to Empire City, Carson
City, Washoe and to Reno. The bonds
are to be on interest at the rate Of seven
per cent. per anuum, which is to be
paid by a special tax of ous-half Of one
per cent. upon the taxable property Of
the couuty-the said tax to be placed in
a special fund to be called the "Rail.
road Interest and Sinking Fund"-ths
whole of the bonds being redeemable
within fifteen years from the date Of
their issue. But no bonds shall be
issued until the railroad is graded, ties
placed thereon, and ready to receive the
iron, from Virginia City to tie county
line Ia distance, we believe, Of about
five miles), when one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars in bonds shall issue
the time for the completion of this
portion Of the work being one year from
the passage of the law, and the balance
to be issued when the road is completed
to receive the iron to Carson City. We
believe this proposition meets with de-
cided favor at the hands of the tax
payers Of Storey County; and we are
pleased to see the promptness aud favor
manifested towards it by tho Storey
County delegation. We need and must
have this railroad for the general ben
eft of the community-and we have
reason to believe hat if the law is
passed soon, the Railroad will be COM
pleted to Empire City, on the Carson
River, in time next fall to bring up the
large supplies of timbers, lumber and
fuel which will be required for the win
te~r.supplies of our mines, mills, lumber
yards, and the fuel for general consump-
ton. By its completion ut the time we
predict, there will be a saving Of solid
coin to our mines, mills, and people
generally, flor exorbitant freights
usually paid out at that time Of the
year, Of at least half a million dollars,
and perhaps more. 1t is hardly neces-
sary for US to attempt to enumerate the
great benefits which must necessarily
iuure to our community by the corstruc-
ton of this railroad-eveu if it were
not extended further than Empire and
Carson cities, with q branch down Car
son River below Empire. We hope the
Legislature will pass the law without
delay, and let the work be commenced
Immediately. The company undertaking
the work are capitalists Of known means
and energy, and with the comparatively
small assistance which is offered by
Storey and 0tmsby Counties, rs an
earnest Of good will and encouragement.
the work will go on, aud it will be COM
pleted sooner than may be generally
expected.

A Car FILLED WITH PASSENGERS
HURLED OVER AN ENBASKMENT IL TIKI
NIGur.-Tuesday nights eastern-bound
train on the Sioux City road, conductor
Chris. Doherty, composed of q baggage
car, two passenger and five laden freight
cars, met with quite an accident about
$3.50 o'clock A. NJ, QUO and q half miles
this side of Farley, resulting from II
broken rail. The engineer felt it as the
locomotive passed over it, and a moment
after the rear passenger car was rolling
over an embankment forty feet high.
Fortunately the growth of young timber
checked the violence Of the fall, or great
loss Of life must have ensued. So great
was the force with which tho car was
thrown from the train, that it carried
away tho rear platform of the car
which preceded it. Both ends Of the
car thrown of were q wreck, and the
scene within it beggars description.
There were, it is said, some thirty pas
sengers in it'at the time of the accident,
aud the eapsizing Of the car threw them
over and among each other with Il on
fusion better imagined than described.
The store was hurled from its place, and
one man thrown upon it, burning him
severely, and another had tho misfor-
tune to have it rolled OIL top Of him,
bruising but not burning his person.
As soon as the messengers and attaches
of the train could hasten to the rescue
they did, expecting to find the dead and
dying on every hand, and were sur
pri,edly glad to find that not one was
even dangerously injured. The car was
fred by the stove, and the report cur
rent is that it was totally consumed
after the leaving of the train. Dubuque

Morn OF THEx.-A perfect rush wal

(mcn and packs being destined for the
line of the Central Pacific Railroad to
chop wood. In mi gang were eighty,
in addition to which a large number
came from San Francisco yesterday
morning. A Maine man, to witness the
spectacle, would be forcibly reminded
Of fhe preparations in the beginning OF

ter would be spent in cutting logs to be
foated down the river by the spring

outsider suggested that White Pine
nigh. be the objective point of some.
Perhaps so. No doubt many Of them
will remember on reaching their pro-
posed destination that wood. chopping
is not their fortc-that mining for the
precious Jumps would be more congo
MIA. to their health and pockets. Chief
Martz says that but few Of the old
thieves are taking advantage Of this gen.
