TREES have been lately found in Aus
tralia which in height, although not in bulk,
seem to exceed the celebrated forest giants
of California (&Quoia Wellingtonia), the
highest Of which rises to about 450 feet
Until lately, the highest known Australian
tree was Karri Eucalyptus IT, colosseaI
measuring about 400 feet high, and growing
inone of the glens Of the Warren river, il
Western Australia. The hollow trunk OF
this tree was sufficiently large to admit OF
three riders, with an additional pack horse,
entering and turning around In it without
dismounting. At the request Of DR.. Null
Ter, the Government Director of the
Botanic Garden at Melbourne, Mr.. Boyle
treasured fallen Eucalyptus (E.
amygdalina), in the deep recesses Of Dan
denong (Victoria), and found that it had a
length of 420 feet with a proportional
bulk; and Mr.. Klein has subsequently
taken the measurement of Eucalyptus
growing ten miles from Healesville, that
was 48O feet high Still loftier specimens
will probably yet be discovered, as easier
access is afforded, by miners tracks and
otherwise, to the back gullies of the South
Australian mountain-s system. These
isolated facts have practical value, for
the Eucalyptus 10 genus which has q
naturally wide distribution, which may be
extended by the aid Of acclimatisation
societies. One species, which in fifteen
years is equal in girth to an oak century
old, has already been largely introduced,
with perfect success, into certain depart.

Hi s..sA.y and Il, Republican Leader.

The general approval which the suggestion
to nominate Hill Beachey for Governor has
elected from all portions Of the State, Is a
most gratifying indication Of public sentiment.
Men ins:inctirely feel that he is the right man
for the place; that with his name at the head
Of the ticket the Democracy can go into the
fight with almost = Certainty Of success. No
one appreciates his strength and popularity
With the masSes moe acutely than the leaders
Of the Republican party. Since his name has
been publicly mentioned in this connection.
the Republicans have been on the anxious
seat, and all sorts Of devices have been resort
ed 20 tor the purpose Of keeping him out Of
the field. The details Of their s:rategems will
some day form an interesting chapter for pub
lie reading. Hill Beachey, above all men in
the State, is the man most feared by the can
didates who expect TO shine prominently on
the Republican State ticket. They feel the
danger, and knowing him as We do. We can
cAadiily assure them that their fears are we'll
founded II SIr. Beachey receives the nom-
ination for Governor-ss he undoubtedly will
and Col. Buel puts that s;alwart shoulder to
the Congressional wheel. the fate of Radical
ism in Nevada will be sealed. The simple
mention Of Beachey's name has made the
teeth Of the Territorial Enterprise chatter
and well they may. The people have been
outraged by shameless boasts that they are
only fools and tools, TO be used like wooden
jacks at the end Of string by men of the
Enterprises stamp. The Radical leaders who
have Knocked at honesty and outraged common
decency by their brazen contempt for public
opinion. will have keener realization Of the
strength of that people whom they have so
impudently detied, ere snow flies in the Win
ter's air. Mr.. Beachey will probably teach
these self-confessed prison-biris, rs he has
taught some others before them, that there Is
power superior to even their many-haniea
duplicity. and that there is still some honesty
and manlmess remaining in this community.
They may well fear him.

Il The True LIGHT.-The Sacramento Re
porter reviews Tom. Fitch's votes in contrast
with his glitterirg speeches. The Reporter
thinks the record does not look very anti
Chinese. On the contrary, voting for the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, and
bills to enforce them, prohibiting the State
legislatures from adopting any legislation ad-
verse TO the Chinese, has very strong pro-
Monaghan complexion. The Reporter adds
With a ticket Of good. strong men. who
possess the confidence of the people. and
have the ability 10 make an able and thorough
canvass, the prospects of success will be much
better than they have been for many years.
Nevada is eminsntly sound on the Chinese
question, and the Radical party stand on
treacherOuS ground. The Radicals occupy
false position. which is AT war with their doe
trneS and record, and W. shall be greatly sur
puSsd If the Democrats 10 not show them mp
in their true light before the close Of the cam
paiCn."
The Reporter Is right, and il may rest AS
surrd that the Democracy appreciate the fact,
and will have a ticket in the field which i'll
make short work OF the Radical party Of Ne

The DEDATE.-Dr. Newman and Elder
Pratt have had their set.to about pOlygamy.
Probably no mans opinion was changed 10y the
discussion. The people of this age and nation
are hardly likely to take much interest in
what the old Scientific nations thought on the
woman question, and that was tho substance
of their discussion. As for that old pocmical
warrior, Newman, he would do as well by
sticking to Washington and redeemng that
Sodom from some of its iniquities. instead of
trying to gain little cheap notoriety by inter.

HYPOCRISY EXPOSED.

The Cincinnati Enquirer says: "The
Republican leaders have expressed great
sympathy for the Germans in the present
Franco PrusSian war. Nobody that
knows them believed moment in their
sincerity. Their sympathy was simply
put on-assumed for the purpose of OBJ
tanning some additional German votes for
the Radical party. The editor of the
central organ of Ohio RepubliCanism-thc
Columbus State writing from
New York, last week, says; 4 always
hated NapOleOn-I have hated him ever
since his coup d'ctdt, but d--n him, l
hate him worse than ever be-
cause he surrendered before our
fall elections What had our fall
elections to do with the matter? Just
this: Had Napoleon not surrendered, the
Radical leaders could have continued to
humbug the Germans with their profcs-
siOns of sympathy for the cause of Prus-
STA; but with the surrender of Napoleon
the Empire fell and the Republic arose,
and the Radical leaders were compelled
to choose between the despotism Of Prus-
STA under a King, that claims to rule by
divine right, and the Republic of France
that is Of the people and subject to their
will. The surrender of Napoleon split
their nice gravy into the fire, and blaze
was the consequence that somewhat
singed their foxy whiskcrs. Hence 'd-n
him, hate him worse than ever because
he surrendered before our fall elections. "

DoN PIATT, the Washington correspond
ent of the Cincinnati Commercial, is not
much of an admirer of Schuyler Golfax,
notwithstanding both are Radicals. Don
says in one Of his recent letters, that
Colfax 'retirss from politics to become
President of the Young Mems Christian
Sewing Machine Association, at salary
of twenty thousand dollars :" and Don
adds: ''This is well. The sewing ma
chine is TO be high moral instrument.
This is high mission, but not so high as
the one lately held by Schuyler in demon
strating an economical Government. AS

THE Cincinnati Enquirer pcrtinently
asks: Why do our readers suppose, when
it was provided that the interest on the
fivc-twenty bonds should be paid in gold,
that nothing was said as to how the prin-
cipal should be liquidated2 Simply, they
will reply, because it was intended to ray
legal tenders, that which was worth less
than gold. The tGn-forty bonds were
made payable, principal as well as inter
est, in coin. A distinction was made be-
tween the bonds. Was there ever
greater rascality, therefore, than the act
of the Republican Congress putting both
classes of debts on an equality, and pay
ing them all alike in gold? Must not the
fve-twenty bondholders have bought up
the Republican Congress for that purpose?
Would they Otherwise have acted in this
manner?
