The Line OF Democratic Attack I'm

A we'll Informed correspondent writing
US from Georgetown, states that opposi-
tion to the still pending Civil Rights bill
is To he the key note Of the Democracy
In this falls campaign In this Slate.
Such line OF attack will b. likely to
prove very Embarrassing TO the Rcpubll-
cans, for II hey admit that they favor
the principles embodied In that bill they
will, without doubt, ALLEVIATE the support
Of many hundreds OF white men in this
State who are bitterly opposed to any at
tempt TO regulate the social status of the
negroes by national legislation, and who
recognize the fact that such legislation
will be q deathblow 10 any attempt TO
Improve our present inefficient system Of
public education, while II would probably
destroy such schools as we already have.
II, on the other hand, the Republicans
attempt to defend themselves by quoting
the record Of Mr.. l.onand concerning
the measure, he being smongst those
near the close Of the session voted TO
prevent the bill coming up for considera.

Of the colored voters, for, easily led as
those voters have shown themselves TO

working for DR.. Jumps nomination.
that they were opposed TO LoHand and
would not vote for him. Their feeling
toward him was properly represented by
Frederick Douglass paper, which, i'm
mediately after the adjournment OF Con
gress, speaking OF the defeat Of that bill
through the refusal of Republicans to let
1t come up, declared;
" by the treaohery OF Republican mem
bers Of Congress- elected In large part by
colored votes, the negro lie continued an
outlaw. Fortunately the negro has the bal
lot. lie owes 1t to himself to use that bal
lot IN furnishing the treachery Of the men

that shall be cast by colored men for the
HOcalled Republican who on Saturday night
last voted against the civil rights bill will
be regarded rs no many Inducements OF
their treason. Our people are not the COW

They must not be led into the support Ot
pretended friends by sophstry nor by intim-

1t Is an ugly dilemma for the pOliti-

Sutro.
from u. rioehe Record. Nav l1l

From the rioche Record, Nay Ill
The papers In the western portion Of
the State are very bitter against Sutro
and his bore, and say all sorts Of bitter
things against him. Now, though 1t Is
not u funeral, further than the fact
that q measure that works an injury to
one part Of the State, Injuries the
whsls to n certain extent, we are
tempted to say q few words about the
matter. The great argument against
the tunnel Is, first, that 1t is toe late
In time to be Of any particular benefit ;
and. second, that the royalty that the
mine owners on the Comstock would
by law DO compelled to pay Sutrs or
his company. would be an extremely
onerous burden without any corrss-
ponding benefit whatever. The rsa-
son why the tunnel Is too late In time,
Il because several OF tho mines are
already below the level OF the tunnel,
and the rssson why the mines would
derive little or no benefit from II, Is
because the water that at first inter-
posed such great dlflcultisJi In many OF
the mines has almost given out aud is
very easily controlled. IT, therefore,
the period has elapsed when the tun-
mel would DO useful ~ u drain. or as a
means Of cgress for the ore taksa from
tho depths OF the Comstock. IL GER
tainly would seem NJ. lntolerable hard
ship that the owners OF tho mines
should be compelled to pay I'll adven-
turor. whose principal capital seems
to be brass aud presidency, an i'm
mense sun for something they do not
want done. or IL done, Is OF no uso to
them. This Is carrying things too far,
and the best thing the Comstock folks
can do Is TO organize In u combined
effort to resist this adventurer who
wants q whole community to pay him
tribute, aud by care and watchfulness
see that his schemes are fully venti-
lated aud their evil consequences
clearly shown. 0ns cannot help al
mirlng the fellows sublime lmpu-
dence. but though that Butlsrlan
quality Is we'll enough In Its way,
when 1t wants TO lay the greatest sill
