A Dangerous Man.


Mr.. Sumner says that Grant is a bold. bad. dan
gerOus man.-NepsDdper.
" A bold bad man is Gen. Grant,"
Said Floyd one gloomy night,
As out from Donaldson he crept,
And took his hasty flight.
From Pillows trembling lips there came
An echo sounding much the same.
End Buckner thought his chief was right.
Nor longer burst maintain the fight;
And then came down the rebel bars"
And from the fort hung stripes and stars.
That Grants a dangerous mani" said they
And doubtless think the same to-day.
"A bold. bad man is Gen. Grant,"
Said Beauregard one morn,
As from the naughty traitors brow
The victor's wreath was torn;
And from the field his legions went.
BY orders Gen. Grant had sent.
Then Shilohs field was ours again,
Despite the host of rebel men.
Who came an army bOasting loud,
But went panic stricken crowd;
For Beauregard and all his men.
Perhaps thought Grant was dangerous then.
"A bold. bad man is Gen. Grant,"
Said Pemberton one day;
Entreaties are Of no avail,
lie will not go away.
A stubborn. mulish, dangerous man
lie wants our rebel hides TO tan.
And still Grants cannon raked the town,
Until the rebel Il igs came down:
And then our banners rent and torn
Were through the streets of Vicksburg borne
The bold. bad man." that glorious Fourth,
Sent gladstone tidings to the North.
"A bold bad man is Gen. Grant !"
And poor Braggs eyes were dim
With tears said he. " | know
lis useless fighting him."
And soon the cheers from Grants brave men
On LoOkouts crest, told where and when
The rebel General had to ran.
And what that bold. bad man " had done.
That Grants q dangerous mani he said.
As from the ield his army fled.
4 bold. bad man is Gen. Grant,"
He must be very bold. indeed.
20 think Of whipping me-"
Then Petersburg and Richmond fell;
Then AppOmattOx-mayb be-well.
A. last our heroes work WAS done;
The final victory was won.
Perhaps the people may forget
These things, but then, they havn't yet.
They needed then such dangerous" men,
And think. perhaps. they may again.
A bold, bad. dangerous man is Grant,"
JEFF Davis thought the same,
When running off in crinoline.
He TO the last ditch" came.
A Ku-kluxs gentle voice was heard.
And" Grant is dangerous averred.
1t needs must be that hts is SO.
For all these rebels ought to know.
Then Hail and Tweed-good honest men
Say Grant is bold and bad" and when
Such men declare it. then iOrsooth,
Folks know that sumner tells the truth.

The Population or Russia.

The reports of the last census have
just been published in Russia. They
give as the population of the empire
81, 100000. Of these, 81 100000 dwell
in Russia, 100000 in Poland, and
l,200, 900 in Finland. The population
has increased 100000 within the last
few years, but as this increase is mainly
due to the conquest of provinces in
Central Asia, and to LARGE number of
German colonies which have been es.
tablished in confiscated estates of Po.

said that the population has remained

or profess to be, quite as ardent in their
suppozt of Jones as they are of Greeley,
tits with anil grace that journal which
supports Nh J. vi1its its attacks upon
one who, unaike those other boilers, has
npented Of his political sins and re-
TUNED, coatFite and humbled, to the
true faith. And now let US ask, while
reprehenditg the too common custom of
wasting upon those Of our own party,
the powder which should be reserved for
the enemy, shall it be said here and abroad
that the majority of the Republican press
Of the State of Nevada have pronounced
outlawry upon one of the oldest members
of this party and one Of the most sincere
and unwaverinS friends and suppoueEs
its principles ever had? Is it necessary
to do this in order to support Mr.. Jones
or any one else whose name has been
spoken in connection with the Senator
ship? Shall the organs, of this party cor
roberate the copperhead and sorehead
Islander that this man. poor in pocket and
against whom no man can sustain any
charge Of political or personal dishonesty.
this ever faithful Radical is a sample Of
the sort of compatibility in high places
with which our party is falsely charged
withal! Shall this man be denied hear
ing by the Republican press? Shall his
inability to retain and fee any publisher
subject him to the stigma of deserved
friendlessness? If this be so, or if it be
not so then do We, by these presents,
without money and without price, volun-
tarily encountering whatsoever of denun-
citation and .contumely may be in store
for rs proclaim that in these columns he
shall have vinfcaticn, defense and sup
port. No dishonest or venal Senator of
the United States is as poor in purse as
this object of fippant .abuse-this un-
swerving Radical who, when many about
him faltered, stood steadfast, encourag-
ing by his presence and example those
who were battling beside him; and We do
herewith step forth and ask a hearing for
his most i'll used and most worthy cause.
He shall have a hearing; he shall be
defended in these columns: |
and so far as the power within us lies to
DO it we shall speak for him and the good
friends who surround him-and we claim |
to have as much right to address this
party as any journalist in the State of
Nevada and no less equal right to have
Dur sentiments and motives respected.

SOME NOTICE OF A BLATHER-
SKITE.

| In the same column wherein John p.
Jones is mercilessly dashed over the
shoulders Of the Enterprise, and by which
lashing he is given to understand that
the influence of his first installment of
bounty money has been exhausted and
that another dividend is due the disband-
ell steamboat runner who conducts that
scrofulous specimen Of typographical de-
pravity, the Virginia Etrniag Chronicle,
is vomi.ed anacrid, Shiny and inseparable
string of putrescens slumgullion upon
the New APPEAL and its editor. OF
course, this scurvy knave, being himself
cheap and oft-times huckstered COM
modify in the Barlary Coast of journal
ism, accuses US Of being hired retainer
of some unwilling institution whose con-
Chronicle believe, that hush-money is a
good investment. Now while it is
unnecessary for us to refute this base
less and purposely mendacious assertion,
the gratuitous advertisement herewith
given that anyone in want of n cheap and
grovellins pander need have no hesita-
ton in offering that position to the
Chronicle, is almost equally unnecessary
for the ready and everything bsseness
of that fast-dyins institution is but too
generally known to need the publicity of
our widespread circulation. And now
let us put few direct questions to this
check-guerrilla of the Nevada press
By what rule Of political action, pray. are
you made the censor of the Republican
press of Nevada? When was the bum
mer press elected to belle its betters and
visit inuendoes and virtuperation upon
the consistent and unfaltering supporters
Of 0ay party ? Shall shameless and
greedy beggar for political cold >ituals

ions are worth auSht Of consideration

heads and heartless hirelings cat asper-
sions upon such conductors Of the press
as have never faltered in the performance
of afaithfal, earnest advocacy of the cause,

loyalty add their bene6cent influence to
the States whose citizens they strengthen

echoed through Oregon down into North
Carolina and up through the Green Noun
tains of Vermont ON to and out from the
pine-clad sleeps Of Maine: and while We
can remember the credits due to patriot
ism and valor; and SO long as President
Grant needs no such insincere, half heart
ed, mumbling, mockins support as can
be squeezed, for hire, out Of bounty
jumping, mercenary, self-styled "inde-
pendent " press we can afford to vary our
denunciations of its efforts with a scorn-
full smile over the weak and uncleaD de-
pravities which animate its conductors
and give shape and point and direction
to what, in campaign less promising
than this ofthe wages of corruption, would
be nothing less mean, degraded and i'm
pertinent than 1.-The motive hunting of a
mOtiyeless malignity."

THE MURDER OF GEO. WILSON

After long and grateful respite from
such a crime, Carson has been shocked
by the preparation of one of the most
dastardly, needless and unprovoked muir
ders that We have ever had brought to
our close attention. The circumstances
Of this atrocious killing as detailed in
our local columns are simply narrowing.
One can hardly conceive of the depth of
malignity which must hold possession of
a man VINO could find it in his heart thus
to commit, upon a defenceless, harmless,
half intoxicated invalid SO brutal and
merciless an assault. 1t is time that an
example should be made of these muir
derers who upon the merest fimsy pre-
text of a provOcation put to death any
man who crosses their whims, caprices
and unbridled passions. This bad, quar-
relsome, blood-thirsty man, Pierce,
should have a speedy trial; and if this
killing was SO much an act Of real muir
der as We now believe it to be, the full
of exemplary justice should be
visited upon him. We have no desire to
forestall public opinion or prejudice any
minds against this homicide; but while
We share in the general adherence of
this dreadful crime and its hard hearted
We should be guilty of an at
of over-niceness were We to re-
press our true sentiments regarding it.

THE GERMANS AND THE LIBERALS.

The Germans of the United States very
ty and great reputation of Senator Schurz.
They have been very largely interested in
the Cincinnati Convention. They were
enthusiastic and solid for Adams for Presi-
dent. Trumbull would have satisfied
them. But they are practically disguised
with Greeley. A Herald correspondent
from Cincinnati says:
Carl Schurz says he has received by tele-
graph protests from everywhere this afternoon,
and that the Germans do not like it. He adds,
II retire to sleep if l can; perchance to
dream"
The Cincinnati Times and Chronicle of
Saturday announces, on the authority of
Judge Stallo, who entertained Senator
Schurz during his stay at Cincinnati, that
Col. Fred Hecker, the great German adj
vocate of Illinois, cleft Cincinnati Friday
night for home, sick and disguised, declar-
ing his intention of making speeches from
his sick-bed if necessary, in order to defeat
the Cincinnati nominees"
The Germans went into the Cincinnati
Convention i'll favor of reform and they
can have no sympathy for such a shame
less trade as that concocted by Blair and
Fenton. Schurz went to Cincinnati to de-
feat Gratz Browns nomination for Presi-
dent. It is we'll known that there has not
been for some time good feeling between
Blair and Brown and Schurz. Imagine
the Senator's disgust when he found these
ing the convention. Judge Stallo, one of
the first Germans of Cincinnati, denounc-
ed the nominations as outrageous in the
Reunion and Reform Convention OH Sat

create an interest in his behalf, as a prob
able compromise candidate, for the Liberal
Republican nomination. He betrayed a
hungering and thirsting after the Presi-
Dental nomination, such as might be ex-
pected from a political prostitute like
Frank Blair or Reuben E. Fenton.
Can the American people ever venerate
and respect the opinions of these gentle
men, as they should respect the opinions
of men occupying their position The
fact is, that honest men, those who are
honestly in favor of reform, no matter to
what party they may belong, have lost
confidence in these gentlemen, and they
owe it to themselves and to the nation
to tender their resignation as members of
the Supreme Bench. If they favor re-
formation in the civil Service, let them
set good example by Immediately vacat-
ing the high office which they have dis
graced, by STOPPING to the lowest depths
Of partisan politics.
And what must the honest people of
the country think of reform in the
hands of such men as controlled the Gin
cinnati Convention +? What must the So
Der, second thought of the people be in
view of the manner i'll which the nomi-
nations were made? 1t is openly charged
and not denied, that the nomination OF
Greeley and Brown was the result of an
open, shameless trade, engineered byFrank
Blair on the part of Brown, and Fenton
What can the people expect from such
combinations This whole movement
has been behind curtain, the texture OF
which is too thin to conceal its glazing,
hypoeritical pretensions to reform, and
the honest voters of the country, of all
parties, must and do see it.
