Our brethren OF The Republican
press will cry over the milk spilled
at the election on the Sd inst. and
reasons for the disaster are as pien-
tiful as bIackberries in midsummer.
It was our own fault, "an' there's the
end of it, Local grievances, real or
imaginary, contributed to the result
in all the States, but an examination
of the figures will show that the vote
poIled by the Democrats is not so full
a one as that given TO Greeley in
1872. Here is the real cause in a
nutshell. The Republicans didn't
vote, and therefore the Democracy
won, not by force Of their own num-
bers, but through the paucity OF ours.
With the Democratic party as a par
Nv. there is no evidences of sympathy
on behalf Of the people. They are
as i~ncorruptible and as true to Re-
publican principles as they were from
the day of the firing on Sumter to
the defeat of Greeley in 1872, and
they still hold in the same detesta;ion
the doctrines of the rebel Democ-
racy.
Over confident from long continued
success, the Republican sentinels were
caught sleeping at their posts, and
the camp was captured by an enemy
whose strength they despised. The
bluDder was a terrible one, but it is
better that it happened now than in
1876. The defeat now assures Us
victory then. We hold that the re-
verses of the Sd will prove a bless
ing 10 disguise, if the Republican
party viii lay the lesson to heart.

Nevada Items.

All of the Silver City mills are run
ming, full blast, on ore from the Com
stock and neighboring mines.
The lumbermen and wood-cutters
are now very actively engaged every
where among the timber ranches
along the eastern slope of the Sierra
Nevada Mountains.
Good progress is being made in the
erection of the heavy foundation walls
of the large new mills of the Consoli-
dated Virginia Mining Company. The
principal walls are about completed,
but there is much heavy stone-work
yet to be done about the foundation OF
the batteries and engines.
Repotts from the new placer mines
in the Bruneau Mountains state that
the mines have been greatly overrat-
ed. Two or three Frenchman have
been working in the Bruneau region
for about two years, and have made
small wages-two or three dollars per
day-and this is about as much as
anybody can make in any diggings
yet found in the country.
A greater amount of prospecting is
being dane in the western Part of the
State this season, says the Virvinia
Chronicle, than is generally supposed.
1t is not confined to a search after
silver bearing lodges, but coal, cobalt,
boraX, and quicksilver are sought for,
and some valuable mines have been
discovered.

Lessenlng Woman's Work.

The Scientific american publishes a
description, with diagrams, Of an ap-
paratus designed to furnish simple,
safe and cheap psewing-machine motor
The power used is clock-work. and
may be attached to any machine. The
novel parts of the machinery are the
appliances for securing uniform eX-
ertion of power during the running
down of the clock spring, and for reg
ulating or altogether stopping the
running of the machine. These ap-
pliances cannot be described to detail
without the use of diagrams, but it is
sufficient to state that in winding up
winds chain first around the larges
portion of a spirally grooved drum,
and that when the clock-work is set
chain from the smaller part of the
drum. Strong power is thus made to
act on short levers. A brake, worked
by the foot regulates the rate of speed
at which the machinery is run, and a
lever terminating in knob on the
top of the table, is arranged SO as to
stop the machine at the will of the
operator. The Scientific american
states that, in trial of the appara-
atus, eight turns of the crank made in
the direction from the operator, wound
up the spring and set the machine in
motion at full speed, estimated at 27O
stitches per minute for twenty min
utes. 1t is estimated that the machine
would furnish power for continuous
work for half an hour. In the trial
the needle was driven through many
thicknesses of muslin or linen.
