IT Is ABOUT time that Southern
Democrats stop talking about their
being .'the legitimate representatives
of the dominant race on this earth. "
If they are, the world will discover
it soon enough without calling upon
them to blow their own trumpets.
We have an exalted idea of the
white race in general, and some
branches of it in particular; but we
see on every hand so many lazy,
good-for-nothing, bigoted, and ras-
cally pale-faces, that we find our
faith sadly shaken in the color of
the skin as an index of superior
merit or well-developed manhood.
There was G time in the earlier
history of the nation, when the
plausible doctrine preached by
Southern Democracy, that the eau
cassian branch of the human race
was created by kind Providence to
ride on the shoulders of the rest of
mankind, and with whip and spur,
force them to do their bidding; but
that time has departed, and the
world has at last opened its sleepy
eyes to the fact, that all men have
equal rights in the race of lite, and
that no one branch has a right to
saddle the other on the grounds of
legal and divine right to do so.
Merit. In this age Of progress, must
be the standard of superiority; and
if Southern Democrats ignore that
standard, they will find, to their
sorrow, that the color of their skin
cannot keep them in the vanguard
of civilization.

The President.

The people of New Orleans are
charged with the intention of getting
up another instruction, in order to
force the President to establish mill
tary rule in and over Louisiana.
They mean to have "the sword, the
shoulder-knot and plume" if they
can be had. but the President would
not crafty them, no matter how
often or how early they should rise.
The President has been charged with
=" Capsarism," but he has never
availed himself of any chance that
has been afforded him to place the
sword above the law. He has never
intertered in State affairs, save under
compulsion arising from the sternest
necessity, and then only according
to the requirements of the Constitu-
ton, and ever limiting his action as
much as he could limit it without
neglecting the demands of duty. The
new rebels will find him as hard to
be imposed upon as the old ones
found him, and the latter were much
the ADLER men, and were more IA
vored by circumstances than are
their present imitators.

/ San Francisco, Oct. 81. = The
weather to-day is splendid for the
great 800 trotting race. Interest
I i'm the contest is intense in sporting
circles, and a great crowd will be
/ present. Coaches and other vehicles
for conveyance to the grounds have
already appeared on the street. Bet
ting is nearly even between Occi-
| dent and Fullerton, with small odds
in favor of the latter, as more conf
dence is felt by turfmen in his stay
ing qualities. Occident during the
past few days, however, has been
put through severe and lively
training by Doble.
The California Pacific Railroad
asks the Commissioner of Bank
ruptcy to allow them to pay en-
ployees several months wages due
them.
Greenbacks, 9l@9lE.
\ horrible murder was perpetra
ted this morning on Virginia street
by negro named Louis Berry, aged
about 80 years. He went to the
room where his father, Isaac Berry,
lay in bed asleep, and without mo-
ment's warning furiously assailed
him with a Ratchet, cutting his head
literally in pieces. He made no eff
fort to escape and is in Jail. He
talks very coolly about the deed,
and says that his father groaned sew
eral times, and in order to end his
sutferings at once he thrust a large
knife into his neck to the hilt, and
then he died. He talks and acts like
a crazy man; says he is to be tried
in the cell and will die by Ratchet
and knife as his father did. The
murdered man was over 20 years of
age.
The weather is fine and a large
crowd of people are already present
on the grounds and hundreds are
constantly arriving by all sorts of
conveyance. Pool selling has not
commenced. The track is in fine
condition and splendid sport is an
ticipated. Hundreds of ladies are in
the Pavilion and balconies.
At the opening of pools Fullerton
brought 200; Occident 165. Sales are
very brisk; thus far Fullerton is the
favorite, but the friends of Occident
are confident, more particularly in
the celebrated driver Bud Doble.

THIRD TERM" Third Termism "
is getting to be much talked of, but
that which gives the subject import
ance is, the condition of the South.
The two antagonistic parties there
| are working in favor of the change.
The colored people and their friends
are for it, because the President has
protected them, and they are not sure
that a new President would do SO:
and then they prefer a military man
to a civilian, as President. The
"White-Leaguers " are working to
the same end, though not Intention
ally, their violent conduct causing
many men to come to the conclusion
that it would be well to retain in
Office man who has done we'll, and
who is of a pronounced character,
rather than run the risk of seeing
the presidential chair taken by some
man who might prove unable to fill
it, or who should pass his first term
in axe-grinding for a second term
especially as Southern support ="
ever has received high bids from
such grinding. These things will
help f" third termers " in the North
and the West, and, altogether, they
will be able to make pretty show
by the time that agitation for the
next national nominations shall be
in order-and that time is not very
far of.

CAPITAL LETTER.
CARSON, october so, 1874.

CARSON, oCIoDeT OO, 1914.
Mr.. EDIToR:-The largest polit-
ical gathering ever witnessed in Car
son, took place on Thursday even
ing last, to welcome Governor Haz-
lett and Congressman WOODBURY..
Moore Il Parker's large hall was
crowded to its utmost capacity, and
hundreds were turned away unable
to obtain admittance.
Delegations from all the surround
ing towns were present, and general
rood faalin0 nravailed
Judge Harris acted as Chairman
of the meeting, with the usual num-
Der of e-Presidents.
The Glee Club and the new Brass
Band were present, and assisted
materially in enlivening the meet
ing.
Governor Hazlett, upon being in
troduced, was received with three
cheers, and proceeded in his usual
terse and effective manner, to dis
cuss the ISSUES OF the day. His
modest allusion to himself with re-
gard to his efforts and their satisfac-
tory results in large reduction of
the State debt, received the hearty
endorsements of the audience.
Congressman WOODBURY. was next
introduced, and made the speech of
the campaign in these parts. 1t was
argumentative, compact, and Just
the speech wanted at this time. There
was neither verbiage. straining for
effect, abuse, blackguard language
(such as the Secesh Democracy has
INDUCED in through this whole
campaign, but every principle put
forth by the Democratic party was
ably discussed, and met by argu-
ments convincing the audience that
those of the Republican party were
the only sound and safe ones to be
guided by. His illusions TO the adj
vocacy by the Republican party of
the eight-hour law, tree homestead
law, protection to foreign born citi-
zens, and other salient points in the
platform of the Republican party,
We're received with the heartiest in
dorsement. The large audience re-
manned intact, and upon retiring
gave nine hearty cheers for the
whole ticket.
The political situation here Just
at this moment, is most singular.
The miserable remnant of the Sore
headed Republicans who affiliated
with the Secesh Democracy, are in a
miserable condition, by reason of the
trading going on. Their portion of
the mongrel ticket will show beg
carly number upon counting the
ballots on Wednesday next. You
can put Ormsby county down for
two hundred majority for the Re-
publican ticket-sure! CYPo.

THE Democratic meeting at Day
ton, on Friday evening, at which
Col. Ellis and j. r. Kittrell spoke,
drew good audience-for Demo
cratic one. Every independent
Democratic-Hybrid in the county
was out to hear their Chiefs but
still there was very little enthusiasm
manifested. By actual count six
persons went from Silver City-the
five who went to hear McGrath, and
non-voter, one who cannot reg
lister; but then he helped make up {
load for that spring wagon.

REPUBLICAN SPEAKING. - The
closing speeches of the campaign
take place at Dayton on Monday
evening. On that occasion Colonel
Bob Taylor, and other eminent
speakers, will address the citizens of
Lyon county. Everybody turn fout
and listen to the truth.

A MINER KILLED. A miner
named John Moorish was instantly
killed in the Chollar mine this
morning about 7 o'clock. During
the changing of the shift he was
caught between the cage and the
timbering at the fifth station. His
neck was broken and his skull frac-
tured. Deceased was a native OF
Cornwall, England, where he has a
wife living.

WHEN the impartial historian
reviews the history of the last
decade, he will hesitate whether to
give prominence to the physical
power of the nation, as shown by
its armies in hundred battle-fields,
or its moral power, as shown in the
character of its laws, and the man
agement and solution of those veXed
questions which grew out of the
complicated issues which followed
the close of the rebellion. Nor will
he fail to record, what must ever
stand as the best vindication of self
government, that the Republic
emerged from this period of severest
! test without changing the simplicity
of its form of government, and
without abridging the Constitutional
rights of its citizens.
While we accord high honor to
the brave men who bore our flag to
victory, and through their yalor and
sacrifices, saved the nation, we can
not without the higher honor which
belongs to the party which made
victory possible by organizing the
power of the nation, inspiring the
people to rally to its defense, never
faltering in the darkest hours of the
Republic but pressing forward in its
mission until the last enemy had
! surrendered, and then, as earnestly
and nobly, applying itself to the
/ great WORK OF recUnSuI ,s,y-,s.r.
When we accord honor to the
Republican party, we simply accord
honor to the people in their collec-
tive capacity.
We are apt to speak of party as
a material thing, to be defined by
certain forms and boundaries, but
in reality it is nothing more than
the organized reflection of the
masses on certain questions of
policy. Therefore we speak of the
high honor due to the Republican
party, for the brilliant achievements
of the last decade, we comprehend
in this expression, all that was done
by loyal individuals in their collec-
tive capacity.
