street robberies of the Grant family. It is per-
tinent perhaps to suggest that q certain gen.
tleman, whose veracity Was impeached by five
members of Andrew Johnsons Cabinet, had
better not be called TO swear in n case where
his reputation is so vitality concerned. 1t
might illustrate another instance Of that pow
erty Of memory which has more than once
caused him the most awkward embarrass-
ments. r...-.
Until the straight forward testimony Of
Messrs- Fisk and jay Gould is thoroughly re-
buited, the intimate personal connection of
Mrs. Grant. the Presidents private Secretary,
Porter. and. of course, himself. with the Sep
tsmbsr gold robberies, is established. We wait
with patience for further developments.-

CHINESE yorEns-As VIZ PREDICTED
to the September election, we more than'onee
expressed the opinion that one Of the objects
Of the Fifteenth Amendment, and perhaps the
main one, was to make voters Of Cinnamon.
Then the Sacramento Union and Bee, and
other Radical sheets Of the State, pronounced
our prediction groundless and assured their
readers that they were opposed to the meas
ure. But the Union has changed its tactics
and is now encouraging Congress to increase
the Radical vote in California by making yo-
tiers Of twenty-five thousand Cinnamon to rule
and vote down the white citizens OF the State.

of revenue, and have a damaging effect on our

the interest Of the negro race, has now COM
menced on the Cinnamon. and We may expect
them 10 devote their entire attention TO the
at-eating pig-tailed Celestisds, TO the total
neglect Of the white race, until the people
come to their senses and reinstate the white
mans party in power Idaho World
