a.Lo THE POOR INDIAN.

Lord iacauley caught the attention OF
the literary world when he mounted his
South Sea Islander upon ruined arch OF
London Bridge and set him gazing at the
tumbling remnants of St. Paul's; but
this picture Of . possibility of the future
is not SO extravagant as it might seem
when as the eye Of the philosopher rests
for mement upon the massive walls and
severely simple outside adornments OF
the State House of Nevada he includes
within the view so taken the swart sa'-
ages who ,thereabout do cOngregate to
risk the second hand and ta&tercd garments
which constitute their little all upon the
turn of very ancient and odorously
greasy card. The bold Washoe has taken
to himself the lee side of the pale-faced
sage-brusher' noblest architectural mon
ument; and there he doth sun himself;
and reduce the census of his thickly pop
ulated hair; and MUNICH the biscuit Of
charity; and squat himself in amiable
companionship with his mahala and his
palpably embarrassed progeny and
gamble away his unaccustomed dimes,
his chemuck and his habiliments Of man
fold prismatic hues. In the choice OF
his place of recreation; in the unawed
familiarity with which he takes to him
self the close neighborhood of the sacred
Capitol of q sovereign State; in the
naughty contempt for fashion and custom
which he shows; in the undisturbed COM
posture of his squatting and his uninter-
rupted concentration Of uncultured devo-
ton to his cards and his cold victuals,
these signs and deeds do make up amixed
sum and volume of aboriginal, significant
and insignificant. ingenuo us and disin-
genuous, sophisticated and unsophisti-
Gated manifestations of native worth and
worthlessness, in the sublime and hdi-
crous presence of which Macauley,s tat
toed and beclouted scallywag from the
neither zone, perched though he be with
in the ghostly purlieus of deserted and
obsolete Cockneydom, sinks into utter
and iIretrievable contempt.

FREDERICK DOUGLASS.

The eolored voters of the ccunuy. $780,
600 in number, ask for the appointment
of Fred. Douglass as q member of Presi-
dent Grants reconstructed Cabinet.
Would there not be some propliety in
concedinS the request? Taese men have
voted in solid body for the renewed
triumph of the Republican party. They
have cast greater number of votes than
Grant has received majority; SO that, on
q direct vote, with the colored element
left out Of the count, he would have been
defeated. Fred. Douglas is far tie ablest
Of his people He is a man who possesses
not only Oratorical ability, but broad
views of public affairs and large execr-
tive force and capacity. The absurd
sEnomania that formerly prevailed has
nearly passed away. Colored people
receive mos. OF the rights to which, By
nature. they are entitled. without ques-
ton. Nobody waptonly insults q negro
now, except q few brutes and fools who
do not deserve any consideration. The
fact tina. the old slaveholding Democratic
party has within the last month been
nominating and supporting negroes for
Office IN every Southern State-ex-over-
see-s voting for ex-slayes-shovs low
Eearly the antpathy Of IA, has vanished.
Fred. Douglass promotion to a Cabinet
portfolio would abolish the remnant of
the old barbarism, and would be the very
crown of our yietory-the poetic culmi-
nation Of our strange national romance.

ryrRosoxED BITTERNESS.

We cannot resist an impulse to say
thatwe very much regret and deprecate
an article upon the recent action Of Gov
ernor Bradley regarding Judge CARRIERS
successor which appears in the Eoreka
Sentinel. Moreover we are surprised to
lind such editorial comments in Demo-
cratic newspaper. It seems to us that
Mr. Cassidy treats Mr.. Belknap with
much uncharity and much uncalled for
severity of criticism; and while it IS GER
tainly an ungenerous thing thus to reflect
upon the standing and capacity of so un-
pretending and decorous gentleman as
the newly made Judge is; and while it is
hardly fair thus to attack . man who IS
SO peculiarly situated as to be almost
powerless of rejoinder, such detracrions as
the Seatinel inconsiderately gives place
in it's columns are calculated to cast odium
upon, and create prejudice and sense
Of mista1st Of, . member of tribunal
against which there should be an invari-
able exercise of great cautionin breathing
the breath of det1action. Politically, We
are Interested in pulling down and max
inx poverless Governor Bradley and all
his partizan associates; but We shall pre-
fer to sttack him in some other fashion
than by reechoing the hasty bitterness of
one of the organs q his own party-es-
pecially when byso doing ve ahOpA ind
It necessary to indulge in unfavorable re-
Elections upon an untzied ofhcer who has
% essa . nasaral right 10 the full cour-
tssis q the pres Is Mr.. Belknap most
undoahtsaly has.

FOR sEcRETARY OF THE SENATE

FOR SECRETARY OF THE SENATE
Weare sorry that our pleasant friend
and brother journalist, John Harris, is q
candidate for Secretary of the Senate, be.
cause we don't like to see 50 good q fel-
low Is he il defeated and disappointed
as he certainly will b. by Charley Bick-
nell. Here are some of the facts of the
matter: Bicknell is known to all the old
Senators-hJld overs and laid overs, as
by all odds the most competent man that
ever filed that place since this neck of
sage-brush was made a st ,te; they know
him for highly courteous and accom-
modating gentleman; and those who
have ever seen q set of books of his keep
ing will attest to the rare beauty and
finish Of his copper-plate-ike penmsn-
ship and to the marked thoroughness of
his clerical execution. Most unequivo-
cally. and heartily do we endorse his
claims to the office which he seeks; and
we do so, not only because Of his rare
fitness for the place, nor yet alone be-
cause of his undoubting, unwavering
Repub1icanism, but because he has taken
to himself q wife and settled down in a
home of his own, right here in Carson.
These nevly-marTied men must be con-
sidered with special favor; for there is no
knowing. you know, what their respons-
Utilities may come to be! We know how
it is oursefl Go in and win, Charley;
and show us Republican Senator who
is not for you and we will let him know
that there's God in Israel!

Doubtless it would be .'rulahle' to extoi.
in q professional and duly remunerated
way, the excellent qualities of Mr.. Some
body's patent Fire Extinguisher; but IN
this case, giving what is below appended
we cheerfully and for the best OF punl'c
purposes reprint the following from the
Boston 1drertiSer:
During the early part of the fire. on SATURDAY
night, when every engine in the city was IN tue
neighborhood Of Summer street, another aAa1ih
was given for East Boston. 1t was summary
dealt with by the fire extinsuisher corps. 1here

gestion of wise policy in the future. we heeo

them more widely scattered. Under almost no
circumstances could an engine have been spareo
from the great fire. 1t happened that the e1tin-
guishers were in the right place, and could De

dependent on chances in such matters. The CITY
government can hardly perform greater service
than to double or treble the supply Of e1fn-
guishers, and to employ men to handle them In
case of emergency.

THE wOODHULL-CLAFLIN CASE.

The latest intelligence from New York
in reference to this scandal informs us
that these two notorious women are be
coming much alarmed at the prospect OF
the penitentiary, and their friends are
endeavoring to induce Challis to with
draw his suits and let them go. They
osfer to retract everything and admit that
their statements about Challis, Beecher
and Others We're false. They have offered
&c abandon New York, and intimate that
taey will return to their old homes in
Cincinnati and ST. Louis. Mr.. Challis
utterly refuses to accept any compromise
whatever, and AYERS that he will prose-
cute his suits to the bitter end. and will
not rest content until the female defam-
ers are punished to the fan extent of the
Law. An attempt has been made by their
counsel to procure their release by WI.
Of haJeas corpus. but the effort has result
ed thus far in signal failure.

General Amnesty.

The President, on the ed inst, signed the
bill to remove the political disabilities imposed
by the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constl-
tuition of the United States. This provides
that no person shall be Senator or Repre-
sentative in Congress or elector of President or
Vice President, or hold any Office, civil or mill
tary, under the United States or under any
State, who having previously taken the oath as
a member of Congress-, or as an officer of the
United States, or as member of any State
Legislature, or as an executive or judicial Of
fcer of any State, to support the Constitution
of the United States shall have been engaged
in instruction or rebellion against the same, or
given aid and comfort to the enemies thereof.
Congress has, by the bill just passed, which
obtained the requisite two-thirds vote in each
House, removed the disabilities from all per-
sons whomsoever, except Senators and Repre-
sentatives of the Thirty-sixth and Thirty-seventh
Congress, and officers in the judicial, military
and naval service of the United States, heads of
departments and Foreign Ministers of the Uni
ted States.
The exceptions will, it is supposed, cover less
Davis and John G. Breckenridge.
The following is the text of the Amnesty bill
as passed by Congress and signed by the Presi-
dent:
An Act to remove political disabilities imposed
by the fourteenth article of the amendments
of the Constitution of the United States.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of Amer
lea in Congress assembled (two-thirds of each
House concurring therein,) That all political
disabilities imposed by the third section of the
fourteenth article of amendments of the Const-
tuition of the United States are hereby remov-
ed from all persons whomsoever, except Sena-
tors and Representatives of the Thirty sixth
and Thirty-seventh Congresses officers in the
judicial, military and naval service of the Uni
ted States, heads of departments. and foreign
Ministers of the United States.
