The NEGRO VoTE IN NEvADA.-The Fiji
teenth Amendment has been ratified and the
negro population of this State will be entitled
to vote at The next State election. The ques-
ton hns been mooted as to the number of
negroes in the State who will be added to the
voting population by this amen dment. An
old resident, who is personally acquainted
with all the towns of any importance, and
with the composition OF the population, has
figured n little on this subject, and estimates
the number at from $50 to 200. Most of the
colored population is in Storey county; but
Storey county, year ago, contained only
ffty-eight adults At the celebration in Ham
ilton, few weeks ago, in honor Of the Eman-
cipatiou Proclamation, which brought out
all the negro element in that section. the
total number present was only twenty-seven.
In Elko there are about dozen. There are
but few at Austin, but quite number about
Carson and Genoa. Probably $50 will cover
the entire number who will be entitled 10
the ballot at the next election. On the negro
question the Fifteenth Amendment does not
hurt Nevada much; but when the Chinese
start for the polls, then the whites will have
to give way.

Congress and the c.dos,hip..

Cadetships at $500 are cheap. That is the
price they have been selling at in the Radical
market at Washington. The cnrpet-baggers
from the Southern States bit mt this little bal.
with singular ayidity; four out of the five ar
raigned, hailing from that region.
We have some compassion for these beg
carly carpet-baggers. They went into the
trade retailing their patriotism in very small
packages, after their associates on the floor Of
Congress had been doing wholesale business
In that line for ten years. Why couldn't these
transitory legislators be let alone! they were
only stealing few hundreds where thousands
and hundreds Of thousands had been taken,
while every ones fingers were on their lips
The trouble was not on account of the act so
much. as it was in being caught at IL. That
loyal advertisement in the New York Herald
offering places at West Point and Annapolis at
certain figures, with as little shame as though
they were selling a sheep in the market; that
advertisement oyerdid the business. "As-
sumo virtue, if you have it notp Congress
had to clear its skirts, and these old hucksters
In public virtue, whose days and nights for
years have been devoted TO despoiling their
country's treasury, Immediately pitched upon
these poor, friendless, worthless, representa-
tives of the South, and made them the scape-
goats of Congressional infamy. Where these
miserable, thr eadbare carriers of carpet sacks
have seen ten.cent shinplaster, their accusers
have swindled the people and the Gov
eminent out Of thousands. Every one who
has ever passed three months in Washington
during the session of Congress knows that
there is rarely bill of any kind, appropriate
ing money, passing that body that is not
'oiled" by greenbacls. This is notorious.
1t is a we'll known fact also, that many of the
leading Senators have had their special friends
on the outside, and if any measure is sought
to be passed these special friends must be
seen" When votes are wanted for confir-
nation, Senators have a way of signifying
their little weakness, and mum" is the word.
1t is notorious that many Senators have en-
tered the Senate chamber too poor to paw
their board bills, and in two or three years
have been able TO count their hundreds Of
thousands, and to live in princely style.
This thing has been going ON for decade
Congress need not attempt to wipe its shoes
on this poor white trash" which the negroes
have sent to Washington to do their dirty
work. The lordly representatives of national
banks, the feed attorneys of railroads
whisky ring spectators, and distorted tariff
advocates, can we'll afford to feed these hag-
gard and hungry carpet-baggers, and scala
ways with a few crumbs from the national Ia
bic, after they have so literally stuffed their
own stomachs with the fat of the land.

EDrroEs INDEPENDENTLY was my intention
to have written you in relation to this camp
ere this, and the only apology can offer is,
that have been busy fixing up for business
since have been here, and had no time to get
posted in anything that would be of interest
to you or your very valuable paper. In fu-
ture l will try to give you all the local items
of this place. In a few days l will send you
description of the makeup of this burg,
together with its mineral resources and future
prospects.
fatal shooting ARRAY took place here this
afternoon about half past three o'clock, in
the open street, whereupon Levi Mayes, alias
buffalo Bill, was shot dead by Dutchman
by the name of George Lambert. Lambert
also shot another man, by :he name of l. Nap
per, through the arm, infiicting a slight flesh
wound. Lambert was arrested and is now in
prison. The ball from the pistol Il six-shooter,
entered little above Bills right nipple and
passed through the heart, coming out little
below the left shoulder blade, killing him in
stantly. The cause of the difficulty arose
about wagon that Lambert claimed Bill had
stolen from him. The rights of property were
itigated and the Dutchman was defeated.
Then Buffalo Bill and friend of his got in
toxicated and started out in the street to stop
Lambert's wagon and claim one of his mules,
when the killing took place. The Dutchman
has since been examined and acquitted, as it
was proven that he was more scared than
brave at the time, and that the shooting was
caused more by accident than intent.
Snow fell here last night about five inches.
The weather is now clear and very cold. 4

day, ran over bluff of rocks twenty feet high,
