Kaweah river, so miles east of Visala,

Of whom 1000, 600 are Indians, many of

there is every probability that they will

A HUGE SELL. The Humboldt Reg

in Humboldt county, are at swords
points, and neither hesitates to put a
thorn in the side of the other whenever
opportunity offers. On the 25th ult. the
Silver State published some Startling
Revelations, sketching a Chinese Sc
cret organization, having for its object
the poisoning of the white people on this
coast, that the Chinese might become
possessors of the country. In our paper

such. The Humboldt Register of the Sd

ELI BACKUS.

We can inform Mrs. Kirkendall that
we acted in good faith about Eli Backus
The communication we published last
week was mailed at Berlin x Roads on
Monday of last week. taken past, and
came up ON Tuesday. Mr.. BaeIzus signed
his communication FLINT Run and in
private note. said he did not want his
name published We stated in the paper
that we published no communication
without the name Of the writer also be
ing published, marked the article, sent
paper to Eli Bacl<us, Berlin. AS he did
not write, we supposed he was willing to
let his name appear, SO we published his
article, just as he wrote it. The men in
the office claimed that it was sarcasm,
but we did not suspect it, as it was about
on par with most of the Prohibition
writers His second letter which we
publish this week, convinces us that he
is not Prohibitionist. We have made
inquiry of persons residing near Middle
ton, and they do not know any such
man We have both his communica-
tions, and would invite Mr.. Kirkendall,
or any one else acquainted with the
hand writing of persons in that neighbor
hood to call and see if they recognize the
writing.
We are sorry that Mrs. Kirkendall
thinks so meanly of US as to say that we
are acting the denagogue, and know who
the writer is. If it is not Eli Backus, we
have not the most distant idea who it is
Mrs. Kirkendall does not know us very
well, or she would understand that we
always take straight forward course.
We have had many bitter newspaper con-
troversies within the past fifteen years,
and we have never felt dissatisfied with
the result We doubt whether our oppo-
nents can say the same Our strength
has always been in our rigid adherence
| to the truth.
And now, Mrs. Kirkendall, what do
you mean by asking us to answer through
the STANDARD if the initials of Eli Backua
are not C. R.? We want no ''unjustiia-
bic prevarication, but we want to know
what you near. We have told you that
if the writer is not the man he pretends
to be, we are utterly in the dark as to his
identity.

We believe there is not single colorcd
man in the State of Ohio who Will not
vote for Gov. Noyes in preference to
Allen. In his speech in this place on
Monday night Gov Noyes said he was
willing to compare records with Mr. Al
len before the colored men of the State.
He said he had been an ahti-slavery man
from his youth, sympathilihg and acting
with the party of freedom from the days
of the Liberty party. He had gone into
the army and suffered all that a man
could suffer and live, leaving part of his
body on the field Of battle in defense of
the rights of the colored race, and now
having to go through life nlaimed and
suffering He then read from Aliens
sgeech at Hamilton, Ohio, September 10,
1861 the following:
Now what do they (the North) want
to do! They want to bring the negro
back to the North; to make room for
him, to send as many white men of our
people as they can to the war, to be
killed. Now, my friends I never justi-
fed this rebellion, nor did 1 ever justify
the intermeddling spirit that gave being
to this rebellion. These abolitionists say
slavery is the cause of the war; l say it
is not. They say slavery ought to be ex-
terminated; l say it ought not, Cheers ]

The Chicago Newspaper Union sends

per with ready printed patent outside,
for emily so cents per quire. Below the
circular is a written proposition to pay
express charges, provided we pay for the
paper monthly in advance. The beauti-
full fine paper upon which the STANDARD
is printed this week, was manufactured
to order by the Columbus Paper Co.,
weighs 80 lbs. to the bundle and costs 123s
cents per pound 1t will be seen that
when we pay the freight, it will cost
about the same as the Chicago paper,
one-half printed The cost of setting the
outside costs us about $1,000 per year, 50
we could save that amount by accepting g
this offer But if the Chicago Union
would furnish us the paper free, and pay
US $500 per year, we would not go into
this swindle upon our readers. We re-
ceive several of these patent shains aiitoi1g

them that is not ashamed of it. They
never tell their readers that one-half ol

IGNORANCE.

1t is strange that men who write for
the public press should not take little
pains to inform themselves upon the
questions about which they write. We
stated last week that there are no Ii
censes granted in Ohio to sell liquor, nor
can there be, until change be made in
the constitution of the State. We also
stated that the United States taxes the
liquor traffic, but grants no license to
sell, and does not in any manner recog-
nize the legality of the traffic. Yet we
find in the Marietta Times, in replying to
the Register, the following;
When the Register calls men engaged
in the sale of whisky "MURDERERs, does
it refer also to those Wholesale dealers
who have United States license hung
up in conspicuous places in their bust
ness houses, granting them the permit of
the United States Government to sell
whisky by wholesale?
Does the Register believe the State has
right to prohibit man from selling
whisky whilst he holds the license of the
United States permitting him to sell it :?
