RIDTcULoCs.-The Virginia Enterprise, speak
ing Of Yukon river in Alaska-tLe third river
III size in the world-yOlunteers the remark
that the native Indians are being RAPIDLY
killed of by the cold, in consequence, no
doubt of the whisky introduced among them
by the Hudson Bay traders" The Enterprises
theory in regard to the effects of whisky is
original, and that these Indians should
be killed of by the cold, in their own native
land, is equally so. There is rs little sense in
that portion of the sentence rs there is truth
III the statement that the Hudson Bay
Company has introduced whisky among
these Indians. II is time the Enterprise
learned the fact that one Of the most
stringent regulations of the company forbid
the sale or gift Of any intoxicating liquors to
the Indians. This is one cause Of the extra
ordinary influence which this company has
exercised among all the Indian tribes from
the Humboldt river on the south TO the rcmot-
est regions of the north. II was abandoned
charactcrlcss Yankee traders who introduced
whisky among the Indians Of this coast; and il
any Indians on the Yukon has lately died from
tine Use Of liquors, they must have obtained them
from some Of the American trader, who have
gone into that country. We suspect, if the
truth were known, that neither cold weather
nor whisky has killed off many Indians in
that region.

No REDUCTION or EXPENSES. - President
Grant asks for three hundred and eleven mil.
lion dollars for the next fiscal year. Presi.
dent johnson for the last year of his admins
tration asked for three hundred and three mil.
lions, which were cut down twenty millions by
Congress. This is twenty eight millions more
than was granted to johnson, although he had
several extra bills incurred by Congress to
pay, including the Alaska appropriation, pay
ment of bountics &c, which amounted 10
twenty-five millions. Making allowance for
the extra expense, we find that Grant asks
for tifty-thrce millions more than was granted
to Johnson for carrying on the Government
during the last year Of his administration.
What has become of that economy and re-
trenchmont which were to be the cardinal
characteristics of this administration? II is
not apparent in these figures. 1t is n notice
able fact, also, that notwithstanding all the
Boosting about n reduction Of the national
debt, it is still large as it was five years ago
The debt has not been reduced. the taxes
have not been reduced, and none are likely
TO be reduced while the present party remains
in power.

An Elhnita in Arirnna

Henry Kuhls, formerly of Elko, went to
Arizona some months ago, travelled over a
large portion of it, and left in disgust. He
writes from San Bernardino, january 18th. to
friend here; he says: II landed here yester-
day from that accursed Arizona. A meaner
country You cannot imagine. There is no
work, nothing to eat, half the time out of wa
ter, and even if you have plenty of money in
your pocket, You cannot get anything for it.
They pay thirty dollars per month at the
Wickenburg mill, and forty dollars at the
mine; and it is an internal sickly hole. The
Indians are bad; was in hopes they would
take my hair, but l was out of luck. If you
have any friends who want TO so to Arizona,
tell them TO stay where they are at least for
the present. l am going to prospect here in
the San Bernardino mountains for a while
and if can't find anything 1 shall go back to
Nevada"
MIR. huhls' experience in that country is
like that of hundreds of others who have,
from time TO time, wearied of this northern
section and started for the south. Arizona
has proven a hard-hearted country for most of
those who have tried it. The mines of that
Territory have never met the expectations of
their owners. Hostile Indians have prevented
exploration and settlement in the valleys;
waterless deserts, and barren mountains are
worthless for any purpose; transportation is
necessarily expensive, and supplies are held
at corresponding figures. The testimony of
almost every one who goes into Arizona is
uniformly against the country. Like Mr..
huhls, most men soon return, cursing the day
they LEFT the north for the inhospitalities of II
country, probably, :he poorest on the CONT
nent.

The Negro in the Public Schools.

The Carson Appeal seems to be- the special nc.
gro organ ofthis State. A few days ago it con-
| tanned lengthy argument to sustain its theory
that the negroes will soon absorb all the ora
torical talent in the country, outshining the
whites as speakers and elocutionists. After
paying this compliment to his own race il
deyotes a column to the matter of a negro
boy being turned out of the public school at
Carson, in accordance with the statutes of the
State of Nevada. That law provides that me
groes, Mongolians and Indians shall notl be
admit ed into the public schools, but the
Board of Trustees may establish separate
school for their education, and use the public
school funds for the support of the same"
The Appeal pitches into this very reasonable
enactment, and III contempt of the wishes OF
the community, seeks to force the negro into
the company of white children. Not content
with this insult to the community, this negro
phObist seems to be trying to instigate n prose-
cution of the school trustees for obeying the
laws of the State, and to create the impression
that they are subject to the penalties set forth
in the Civil Rights Act Neither the Four
teenth Amendment nor the Civil Rights Act
has any connection with tho subject. This
State law dcprivcs no person Of either ''life.
liberty or property" nor denies to nny person
the equal protection of the laws" The real
enemy of tho negro, who, il any, dcprives him
of the equal protection of the laws, are those
doprayed counterfeits of white men, who arc
never content except when stirring up bad
blood in the community, and embroiling soci-
ETY. in dirty quaTrels over some dirty subject.
In this case mt Carson, the public school was
in fair way to be broken up entirely; the chill
dren were daily leaving it; they would not as
sociate with this negro, who, for sinister pur-
poses, was thus extensively and illegally forced
into their society. The negro children Of Car
son have school-houso of their own. con-
structed by the trustees in accordance with
the school law. In numbers and in means. the
blacks are amply able TO maintain a school Of
their ovn--os able as the whites Of that dis
trict are. The negro children have all the
protection Tho white children have; and their
parents would be perfectly content to maintain
their own society and educate their children
In proper and decent way, If IL were not for
tho OiIicious intormeddling of those "Chcap
Johns" oflitcnturo, whose puerilo abilities will
allow them to discover no way to distinguish
themselves except by breeding bad blood and
bursting up school, turning some two hun
drcd white children into the Streets to mako

FoR LIErTESANr GovEKSoR.-Among the
gentlemen whose names have been canvassed
in Republican circles for the Lieutenant Gov
ernorship of this State, is that Of our fellow
townsman, familiarity known as Len. Wines.
Mr.. Wines is well known through this inland
country in connection with several successful
stage enterprises, and is generally esteemed
for his good practical sense and liberality.
He would undoubtedly make good presiding
officer Of the Senate, and would certainly be
a strong man on that ticket, if nominated.

RATIFICATION OF TIE Boers AMENDMENT

RATIFICATION or THE Boots AMENDMENT
The Cincinnati Enquirer says: 1T seems to
he the destiny of this amendment everywhere
TO be carried-where il Is carried ut abby
fraud and falsehood. New York is to be
counted for it, when it rejects it, Indiana for
1t, when she also refuses To ratify il in a con-
stitUtional manner. Georgia, which had re
iected il, is overruled by Congress, and by
sheer force ordered to ratify. Even in Ohio.
the action Of the last Legislature in rejecting it
is simply TO be undone in fraudulent way
Thus, everywhere, North, as well as South
the amendment is being forced upon the peo-
pie, either by open violence. or by outrages
upon the rights Of representation.

A FEW evenings, since we were
overtaken OH our way to the depot by
aeenteel, intelligent looking stranger.
After asking US II he was on the right
street to the passenger DEPOT, he re-
marked: I" You have a very nice lit
tie city, see but few dilapidated
buildings--there ispresented, on every
hand, the appearance of great recu-
peration since the war" We have
good, substantial business and dwell
ing houses--some elegant mansions
but We are sorry to say that the trade
Of the city does not justify any great
outlay for further improvement. We
have the capital here-the main
thing we need now to bring about
trade Is muscle and manufactures.
Let the initlatory steps be taken In
that direction. Good dwellings, nice
churches, colleges, etc., add greatly
to any city, but, in our opinion, the
salvation of Clarksville now depends,
mainly, on the full development OF
the manufacturing interest.

Of Clarksville propose to give an

week, at Academy Hall, for the pur-
pose Of repairing and turfing the
graves Of the Confederate dead, in the

can hardly engage the attention of
our citizens, and we will not permit
ourselves to doubt that the small sum
needed will be most cheerfully con-

the Concert. The graves have sunk
so much below the surface, as to re.
quire re-filling, this done, and nice
coating Of turf put on, nothing more
will be needed save q monument at
