The organs of the self-styled "great
moral party" attribute the defeat in
Connecticut to the exertion of the tenn
perance people of that State, whom
they roundly abuse and denounee as
fanatics. 1t is little amusing to hear
those moral Republicans attempt to
shift the responsibilities of their defeat
in the Nutmeg State from Grant and
Congress to those who are opposed to
whisky drinking. Nice moral party

A SECTIONAL APPEAL.

THE Republicans State Central Com
mittee of California have issued an adj
dress to the people of the State. 1t is
a lengthy document occupying nearly
two columns in the Record Union, yet
il does not even in the remotest man
ner allude to living issue. 1t treats
exclusively of the rebellion, as if the
war for the preservation of the Union
was now raging, and the question OF
continuing it was to be decided 10y the
people of California at the next cleo
ton. 1t asserts, in the teeth OF the re-
ports to the contrary of Republican in
vestigating committees sent by Con-
cress to the South to ascertain the
real condition of political affairs and
sentiments of the people of that Sec
ton, that "churches and school-honses
are being burned in the South, that
the ballot-bex has been forcibly and
openly destroyed when known to con-
tain more Republican than Democratic
votes" That. which is fair sample of
the whole address, shows the desperate
straits to which the Republican leaders
of California are driven. They allnde
to no living Issue, but by appeals to
sectionalism and prejudices endeavor to
revive the feelings engendered by the
war. They forget that in the ranks of the
Democracy are thousands of brave men
who risked their lives on many battle
fields side by side with their Republican
brethren in the war for the Union.
They forget that the war ended ten
wears ago, and that such Republicans
az Judge Poland of Vermont reported
to Congress, after a personal investi-
CATION in the South, that the people
were peaceable, law-abiding, and as a
whole satisfied with the new order of
social affairs. They overlook the fact
that in every State south of Mason and
Dixon's line where the Democratic
party has control of the. Government
there is no trouble between the white
and colored citizens, and peace and
good feeling prevails between the races.
They overlook everything that has
brought the Republican party into dis
repute with the people, and rely exclu-
sively for success on their ability to re-
vive the sectionalism, the prejudices
and the hate eugendered by the rebel
lion BY unsupported assertion and
downright misrepresentation. The ad-
dress is simply fanatical appeal to
fanaticism to uphold party which is
falling to pieces from rottenness.

FROM the tenor of last evenings dis
patches from the Pennsylvania coal re-
gion it appears that there is a prospect
of the long strike coming to
an end. The result of the meeting
called for to-day is anxiously awaited
by all interested. This strike has con-
tinued for several months, and has
been the cause Of much suffering to
miners and laborers, yet they have re-
peatedly expressed their determination
TO adheret o the prices asked in the be-
ginning, whatever consequences might
ensue. Now that concessions are being
made there is a probability of work be-
ing resumed at an early day.

There's O revolution coming, spre, the

ahead.

EDITOR SILVER STATE: AS the people

T will inform them that things are
lively. and everybody has been on the
limp since the arrival of the machinery
for the Badger mill, which. through
the untiring efforts of Messrs. Vary
and DEMO, will be in full blast within
ten DAYS from date. Then for sight at
the root of evil with which the world is
so deeply in love. There is gold here,
and plenty of it. in the deep recesses
of the mountains, and it only requires
bone and muscle to get it out, and time
will prove the truth of what l say
Vary has gone after it in the following
mines: Montauk, Badger and lnde-
pendent. In the Montank four
miners are at work, and they are now
in 100 feet, with ledge nearly two
and half feet wide in sight, which
will assay from 800 to 1925 per ton
On the Badger several men are at
work getting out ore. This ledge is
FIVE feet wide, and mills from $50 to
$50 per ton in gold. And now comes
the Independent, owned by Vary,
HYATT and Green, who have gone in 40
feet on the ledge. This vein is thirty
inches wide, and averages nearly 500
to the ton. There are several other
good prospects for mines here, all OF
which will be developed in time.
There are now more than GO men in
this camp, but I regret to say there
are bnt two women, but trust ere long
more will find their way here. We
have several visitors from outside here,
and when We get hotel the place will
be more inviting to strangers, and look
more city like. There is good
opening here for minister to give TIE
bows a. sermon on the Sabbath, as that
day is observed very closely, but OF
course it would not suit one of the
