EDITOR REGIsTER: In my peram.

great deal that by comparison with
our mountain home, is anything but
pleasing First, the weather.: The
mornings here and in Oakland are
cloudy, foggy and cold. Old Sol
CreepS out about noon, and for 4 few
hours the climate is bearable to a Nor
wegian or inhabitant of the frozen
zone. Overcoats and thick clothing
seem to be as much worn as during
the Winter months, if not more. From
what | can learn, from good authority,
Greeley will surely carry San Fran
cisco. To li>tentO the members of the
administration party one would sup
pose such a thing to be impossible,
and the secret Of the whole lies in
their unWiiliugneSS to admit the pos
sibIlity of the Germans voting against
them, when it is well known that

THE RAPE CAsK.-From parties who
have comefrom Washoe Valley since
the outrage was perpetrated that we
spoke of yesterday, we learn that
Theo. Winters little girl, about ten
years of age, was driving her fathers
COWS home, and while so doing, was
hailed by a man on the road who mo-
toned her toward him. She went to
where the brute was, when he siezed
her and attempted TO outrage her per-
son. but was prevented from so doing
by her struggling and screams for as
sistance. Hercries brought some nlen
to the spot, who were moving in a
field close by, who had been watching
the monster, thinking all was not
right. On seeing assistance for the
child at hand, the fellow took to his
heels and was followed up by the
men, who overlook him at Washoe
City and administered to him a sound
thrashing. Mr.. Winters on hearing
of the affair, started for the place
armed with a shotgun, and shot the
would be outrager. The child is not
seriously hurt, but it is thought the
mar will not recover from the wound
received at the hands of the enraged
parent. Tie man has been working
on the line of the railroad running |
through Washoe Valley and is very
little known.
A SELECT SCHOOL. Miss Lizzie

A case OF self.saorifioe is reported from
Arkansas. A colored fisherman was
crossing the Mississippi at Little Rock
one stormy night recently. with his young
ohlld with him in the boat. When in
the middle OF the river, the water be.
gan to dash over the hides of the low
punt. and it was evident that the craft
would sink in a moment unless relieved
OF some OF its load. Putting his child
securely in the middle of the craft. the
father jumped into the river, was washed
away and drowned. A party from the
bank went to tho rescue and recovered
the boat and child, but the man never
was seen afterwards.

The weary waiting OF Southern citi.

it really is. may talk and write as long as
they please. but the voting millions in.
tend to get rid of the bayonets which
threaten to make desert Of the South. -
Our citizens" it continues, ssare tired
OF being hurried off to prison because q
secret service spy asserts that they have
violated the Enforcement Act, or some
other kindred measure; they are tired of
seeing strangers, 30 often without intelli
gence or honor, rule and rob them; they
are tired OF seeing their plows lying
idle, their broad acres growing up in
weeds. with poverty in the house and the
Sheriff at the door," They are ready to
support MIR. Greeley, because "the road
which leads to him leads also to the
much coveted haven OF repose." With
this in view. the ''olap trap about diving
IN the Last ditch, has lost it's charm. It
is better to live and to live upon dry mp
land. This is wise resolve. which
every sensible man will agree with us in

Grant accepts the Philadelphia nomi-
nation in ten-line letter, to be found in
the dispatches this morning, and bases
his claims to reelection upon the suo
cesses OF his past administration. They
have been many, it is true. First and
foremost there is our great annihilation
of Great Britain on the treaty question !:
then tue successful annexation of Santo
Domingo, and glorious conquest of her
most desirable corner-lote; the liberation
OF Cuba aud the silencing of scornful
Spain; the taking to our bosoms of the
poor outcast Indian; Sheridan's graceful
laying away of the Piegans among the
graves OF their ancestors; the CONQUEST
OF the Seneca sandstone quarry. and
the capture of the Now York custom
house, and batch of other successes
too numerous and too glorious to men
ton. In fact, the only thing that Grant
hasn't beon successful in is the getting
OF bitter partisan measures through
Congress and surpassipg poor lamented
Jim Fisk in his summer splurges at Long
Branch. His claims are many, but his
prospects few.
