REsIGSED.-O. Il johnson. Esq. several

road Stage line, and lntterly acting in the
same capacity for the new company, has re.
signed the position, and left here last We'd
nesday for Elko, to make a final disposition
of the trust which he has so long and ably
discharged. Several years of intimate nc
quaintance and friendship with Mr.. johnson.
enables MS to bear witness to his honor and
worth. He resigned the Office of Sheriff for
Tehama county, California. to accept the 30.
sition, and took charge of Beachey's staging
business when it was dangerous, improbable
and uncertain but through his admirable tact,
skill and energy, order and regularity were
established, and the line soon became popular
as well as profitable to tho owner Active,
diligent and honorable, he leaves behind him
reputation unmarried by stain or blcmish, and
takes with him the best wishes OF the entire
community. Mr. johnson intends adjusting
his business at Elko; from there he proceeds
to Salt Lake, and thence to Santa Fo, thence
to the city of Mexico, and from thence he will
return via MaZatlan to San Francisco. He is
undecided as yet where to locate, but beneath
whatever skies friend Johnson elects 10 cast
his lot, he has our'most cordial wishes for his
future welfare Boise Ners.

Nys', Counsel and Nye'. Threat.

Don't be afraid of the Chinaman. He
won't hurt ou."-Nye.s Speech in Eiho.
Here is a Republican doctrine for once
boldly spoken. Don't be afraid of the Chi
naman. He won't hurt you"
No; he does not hurt Senator Nye; but ask
those boot and shoe makers of Massachusetts,
whether that little shipment of seventy-fve
Cinnamon to that State does not hurt them.
Ask the hundreds of white men along the
lines Of the railroads Of New Jersey and Ten
nessee and Mississippi whether the Chinese
do not hurt them. Ask the thousands of
white working men of Nevada and California
whether the Chinese hordes who were en-
ployed in constructing and repairing the
Central Pacific railroad have never hurt them.
Turn loose your Tartar hordes among the
mines Of the Comstock next Winter, as you
intend, and see if no one is hurt No one
hurt! when twenty five millions of dollars are
yearly shipped out Of this country to China
never to return. No one hurt! when even the
washerwoman is driven from her tub, the
kitchen girl from her stove, and the husband
and son out of every workshop in the land!
Reduce white mems households to the stand
ard of rice and rats; herd your wives and
children together in droves in filthy dens
piled in like swine; come down to the stand
ard of the most poverty-strcken nation on
earth! Don't be afraid; it won't hurt youw'
Turn loose your Asiatic plague; let it devas-
tate your cities, aud spread over the land into
the innermost recesses of every art, trade,
aud mandatory; let it slowly poison the
/ r.,fl, 60 k,,.,
the root the source of all industry. Be not
afraid. The Cinnamon won't hurt you"'
This is American statesmanship-and this
| is the Republican party! This the solution Of
the greatest problem that ever affected the in
| terests of labor in this or any other country
on the face of the earth! Such is the whole
law and the prophets, Don't be afraid of
the Chinaman. He won't hurt youv'
There was deep meaning in the further dec
| laratiOn of the Senator. THE Democrats
harped on the negro until they made him n
citizen, and they may harp on the Chinese
until they make them citizens. Let the Dem
ocrats beware, or they will find that the burr
under the saddle may yet sting them"
| What is the meaning of this threat against
the Democracy? What burr" is this which
the Republicans have got under the saddle"
with which they will yet sting the Democracy?
1t was nothing more nor less than an intima-
ton of what the Republican party, for whom
he claimed to speak, intends to do; and that
| Is to enfranchise the Chinese, and meet the
American workingmen with horde of Asiatics,
as they arc now doing with the Africans.
| This Is the Senator'S counsel and the Sena-
tors threat. Don't be afraid of the China
man. He won't hurt yOu!" but if you do be-
come afraid OF him and attempt to impede his
progress there is n burr under the saddle,
which shall sting You YETI Is not this suffi-
| cient.

GES. MORGAN, Of Ohio, is reported TO have
said in recent speech:
"The president of n railroad in the west
told me three years ago that he found charged
to members Of Congress whole sections of land
given for services in Congress. Sections have
grown into townships since that time, and
fully accounts for the immense fortunes made
by members Of Congress on small salaries"
This Is grave accusation, and should be
accompanied with names and dates. II Con-
gressmen have been thus bribed, the country
should know the names, in order that they
may be punished by their constituents. Y.
Standard
How are these names 10 be Rsoertnined ~
long as every investigating committee is
smothered by these combined accomplices in
Congress The only way to bring these per.
jured sooundrels to the light is to put Demo.
cratic majority on the floors Of Congress.
When that time comes wo are likely TO have
some interesting chapters concerning the Sen
ators and Representatives from Nevada.

WHr?-Aluding to the proposed action of
of the next Legislature to release the sureties
on the late State Treasurer bond, the Reno
Crescent says, "Sharon, Tritle Slingerland,
10. Goodman, et al. are going to ask to be ex-
cused from the payment of Just liability to
the State. Mr.. TITLES antecedents and in
terests both testify that IL such unholy legis-
lation DO enacted he will not put the stamp of
Executive veto on the legalized robbery. Why
are not those matters discussed, and the sem
timents Of the people called out? Echo an
swers, why?"

Eloduence Rampant.

If talk does any good, the Republicans are
bound to have the full benefit of it. They
have some eight or ten of their best takers in
the field, to make the worse appear the bet
ter cause" Nye, Stewart, Fitch, Slauson,
Tritle, Miller, Campbell, etc, etc., are all
" shouting the battle cry of freedom" and
tearing up the sagebrush by the roots in their
fine phrensy. The Republicans are aware
that IL will require a vast amount Of words,
words, words, to stand off and smoother up
the irrefutable facts which damn their own
political biographies. II they do not fear
these facts, why all this talant shooting like
lost comets over the State, with breathless
speech rallying the disaffected spirits to the
salvation Of the lost cause? Against this flood
of Falstaffan speech Kendall has thus far
commended, like Benton, almost solitary and
alone )" but his logic, sarcasm and eloquence
have moved down these word-tinkers with
frghtful mortality 1t is evident even from
Republican journals, that Fitch suffered terri
bly, in the oratorical combat with Kendall at
Gold Hill and Virginia. Fitch wants no more
of it, and is steering clear of Kendall now.
The people Of Elko will have an opportunity
to understand the reason when hey hear Ken

FAST SHEEr.-The Elko Chronicle is no.
torious!y slow coach. 1t usually follows
along about twenty-four hours behind the IN
DEPENDENT, its driver trying to SEQ his way
through the dust thrown in his face by his
more enterprising competitor; but the Chron-
icle has beaten us at last. II has performed a
feat which prohibits rivalry. Walking down
town last Saturday evening about 6 o'clock,
we picked up a copy of the following morn
ing's issue Of the Chronicle, and were aston
ished TO learn that, "As we went to press, Mr..
Tritle was addressing large and enthusiastic
audience ut the church" Now, considering
that Mr.. Tritle did not speak for nearly two
hours alter we read the above extract in the
Chroaiele, we must confess that the editor Of
the Chronicle is an onterprising genius. 80,
my prophetic soul!' Who can stand such
composition AZ that?

"NgysR before was money rs plenty as

instructions to Census marshals.
The following instructions have been issued
for the government of Census Marshals
DYpARTNENT OF THE INTERIOR

The following instructions have been issued
for the government of Census Marshals
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
Washington, ID. c., May 81, 1870 I
1t is deemed expedent to call attention of
Marshals and Assistant Marshals specially to
the rules which are intended to govern the emu
meration of youth absent from their homes for
purposes of education.
At the Eighth Census, the Instructions of the
Department required that suclr persons should
be reported ut their family homes. Only those
members of school or college were to be re-
portcl in the town where the institution was
situa-ad, who belonged to families there resi-
dent Examination of the Census returns, on
depo il in the Department exhibits the fact
that contrary to instructions, almost the entire
number of students in many colleges, acade-
mics, and boarding schools ofthe country, were
returned in u body.
The Instructions for the Ninth Censues have,
therefore, been drawn with a view to what is
believed to be the more natural method of re-
porting persons absent from their homes for
purposes of education. Upon page 8, of the
Pamphlet of Instructions for the guidance of
Assistant Marshals," issued from the Depart
ment of the Interior, under date of May !, it is
directed that Children and youth absent for
purposes of education on the LIST Of June, and
hdotng their home in Gfaniity 'chere the school
or college is situated 1ciU be enumerated at
the latter place"
The large number of persons habmally
absent from their family homes for purposes Of
education renders the observance of these in
structions matter of great importance.
This rule will embrace, not only students of
colleges, academies &c, who board and lodge
with some families of the town, but also those
who occupy rooms in public dormitory build
ings, taking their meals in commons, in clubs,
or in private families In word, all the stu
dents of the institutions will be reported in the
town where it is situated, except such as have
homes in adjoining lows, to which they habitu-
ally return at night.
1t will, therefore, be incumbent upon Assist
ant Marshals of subdivisions in which such in
stitutions are situated, to take care that the
students are fully returned according to these
instructions; and upon all Assistant Marshals
of subdivisions to leave out from the returns of
families the names of all members thereof who,
on the 1st ofJune, were absent having home,
other than a family home for the purposes of
education. j. ID. Cox, Sec'y.

pRrEp.ArPLE PIES.

loathe abhorl detesti despisel
Abominate dried apple pies;
1 like good bread, like good meat.
Or anything that's ft to eat;
But of all poor grub beneath the skies.
The poorest is dried apple pies.
Give me toothachc or sore eyes
In preference to such kind of pics.
The farmer takes his gnarliest fruit,
lis wormy, bitter, and hard to boots;
They leave the hulls to make us cough,
And don't take half the peeling OF.
Then on a dirty cord they're strung,
Anl from some chamber window hung;
And there they serve roost for fies
Until they're ready to make pies.
