A BLooDLEss WAR.-At the late ses-
sion of the Nevada Legislature Lieut..
Governor Denver was legi>lated out Of
the office of State Prison Warden, and
the Prison was placed under control of a
Boald'of Directors, consisting of the Gov
crnor, Secretary of State and Attorney
General, who were empowered TO appoint
n Warden. One day last week this Board
in company with their Warden went to
the State Prison, but were refused admis-
sion as we'll as possession. The Governor
and his friends returned and the Lieut..
Governor was left master of the situation
for the time being. The Governor, who
is Commandcr-in- Chief Of the State Mill
tia, Immediately mustered troops to the
number Of sixty, and transported them
the following day to the scene Of the diff
Guilty. The Lieut.. Governor, feeling
himself unable to cope with this superior
force, capitulated before any attack was
made. "And thus ended the most blood
less war on record" says the correspond
ent Of the Virginia City Chronicle.
WE WANT TO kNow.-Eastern dis
patches state that few members of Con-
gress have refused TO accept the extra
$1,000 allowed them by the increased Sal
airy Bill, while others have drawn the
amount and turned it over to charitable
institutions. We feel positive that the
high sense of horor, as well as the native
modesty, embodied in the Honorable
John Kay Luttrell, member from this
District, will force him to decline recciv-
ing this additional pay, or at least his
conscience will not allow him to devote it
to his own private purposes. VIII he
draw it? II so, will he donate it to some
charitable institItion ?
"UNADULTEEATED DEMoCEACY."-
Such is the headng Of an article in re-
cent number Of the Cousa Sun, wherein
the Democracy of Cincinnati are congrat-
ulated on their having cut loose from the
Liberal Republicans, and hereafter in
tend to support pure and unadulter-
ated Democratic ticket" What will be-
come of the proposed Peoples Party in
California il stauuch Democratic sheets,
like the Stti, continue to clamor for . un-
adulteratcd Democracy?" The Demo
Gratis who expected to be elected to the
Legislature on 4 promise TO vote for Booth
for Senator, will have to change their
tune.
VINO is RESPONSIBLE - Reckless
Democratic sheets are cudcavoring to cast
the odum Of increasing congressman
salaries on the Republican party. 1t is
well known that the Republicans have a
large Majority in the Lower House of Con-
gress, yet the vote on the Salary Bill
shows that, Of the one hundred and three
members who voted for it, iorty-nine
were Republicans and itty-four Demo
crats and Liberals. While we claim no
special exemption for Republicans in this
matter, the whole blame should not be
saIdled upon them, but equally divided
between the parties.
WOMAN SUFFRAGE DEFEATED.-In
the Massachusetts House Of Representa-
tives, March 18th, resolution to provide
for the amendment to the Constitution
that women might vote and hold office
the same as men, was defeated by vote
of 50 to T.. ~ the ratio Of the popala-
ton OF Massachusetts, is about three wo-
men to one man, we dent blame the
Representatives for voting rs they did.
1t was simply Il matter Of sclf-prcscrya-
ton.
HORACE ADAMS, the regular Repubi-
can nominee, would have received one
vote more and James McCleery one vote
less, at the recent election in Sacramento,
if Governor Newton Booth, 1.-THE rccog-
nizcd head Of the Republican party ia
this State" had not gone with the Demo-
Gratis and boilers.
SARGENT appoints his personal friends,
who are tried and true Republicans, to
office. Booth also appoints his personal
friends, but is not particular about their
being very earnest Republicans-prefcrs
boilers. Sargent is condemned and Booth
is praised by the consistent Independent
q? press.
SAN Francisco is now complaining
that she will have but sixteen members
in the next Legislature, when She is in
reality entitled to thirty-two members.
The San Francisco delegation in the last
Legislature did moro to defeat the ap-
portionmcnt bills than any other.
WHATS THE MATTER ? - Newton
Booth Il Co., wholesale liquor dealers,
for long time advertised largely in the
! Sacramento Union. Recently, their ad-
vertsement disappeared from its coll
umns. 1t is their business and not ours,
but still we wonder why.
