THE DEMOCRATIC ADDRESS.

The Democratic Senators and Rep
resentatives from the Southern and
Border States have issued an address
to the people of the Southern States
in which they call attention to the per-
sistent attempts of the Republican
leaders to revive the animosities OF the
late war They believe that through
the honest representations of II few up
right Federal officials, an independent
press, and of many citizens without re-
gard to party. the trne condition OF the
Southern States and the real sentiments
of the Southern people are being grad
ualy made known in the North, and
that the great ends of good government
will be reached when the people OF all
sections forget that We have been enc
mics, and unite as in the early days OF
the Republic in their devotion to the
bes. interests of the country. With
this exalted purpose in view the slgners
of the address counsel patience and
moderation under unjust epithets and
aratnitous insults, and the kind treat
ment of the negro, who is not so much
responsible as the bad men under
whose advice he acts, and while labor
ing to convince him that his interests
are identical with those of the whites,
to see that he is protected in his rights.
allowed to vote as he pleases, and dealt
with honestly and fairly. Forbearance
and patience under the most trying
circumstances are urged as the enllght-
ened sentiment of the country is with
the Southern people, and the result
must be their final vindication and the
triumph of the principles of right and
Justice.
The address is signed by every DEM
ocratic Senator and Member of Con
oress from the Southern and Border
States. Emanating from such source
it may be considered a declaration OF
principles of the party so far as It's
action toward the negro is concerned.
aud ITS conservative and wise counsels
will meet the appreciation of the people
throughout the entire Union. A strict
adherence to this policy insures the
success of the Democratic party, and
the election of Democratic President
in 1876.

DIVISION AND RAILROADS.

Two bills of great importance to the
people of Humboldt county are before
the Legislature to-day. One. Tor the
organization of Buena Vista county, is
the special order in the Assembly; the
other for the granting of subsidies to
the Winnemucca and Oregon and the
Mill City aud Unionvllle Railroads. Is
the special order in the Senate. The
former is wholly at the disposal of the
Legislative and Executive Departments
of the State Government; the latter, If
passed, is to be finally disposed OF by
the people. The former, if passed,
despoils the county of nearly one-half
of its territory and taxable property.
against the expressed wishes and pro-
test OF two-thirds of the people of the
county; the latter, if passed, must re-
ceive the sanction of three-fifths of the
taxpayers of the county. or it remains
utdQ 1CttCk Oh thO oe"t'eso "a 'A-N
State. The former is arbitrary, and
gives the people interested no voice in
disposing of it; the latter leaves the
matter with those who are most inter
ested = the taxpayers of the county.
The former proposes to reduce, against
the protest of the people, the county of
Humboldt to beggarly condition; the
latteris designed, with the consent of
the taxpayers, to develop It's resources.
The one cannot result otherwise than
injurious to the county; the other may
rebound to it's benefit. The one
should not pass under existing circnm-
stances; the other, If passed, will be-
imperative, unless the taxpayers petit
ton to have 1t otherwise.

PAGES anti-Coolie bill passed the
Lower House of Congress yesterday.
1t imposes fine of $4,000 and five
years imprisonment on persons who
import coolies under contract for SER
vitude, or Chinese women for immoral
purposes. The Legislature should take
the matter in hand, and pass bill pro-
hibiting the sale of Chinawomen in
this State for immoral or other pur-
poses. 1t is an undeniable fact that In
the State of Nevada Chinawomen are
as much merchautable article among
the Chinese as rice or opium. They
are to all intents. and purposes the
slaves of their owners, and are bought
and sold like so many cattle.

SMUGGLING silk has been carried on
so extensively in New York City that
A. 7. Stewart, finding it impossible to
compete in the market with the
smugglers. abandoned the sale of that
article rather than defraud the Govern
ment by purchasing of the smugglers.
Last week the United States Courts in
dicted Lafayette Graf, for selling half
million dollars worth of silks, and
attached his safe, which contains
100000 in bonds and legal tenders.
Graft and Custom House broker, who
has also been indicted for assisting
him, are in Canada, where they in
tend to remain until matters are ar
ranged with the officers in New York
City.

service at an aggregate expense, with
out counting the loss of their ahstrac-

less than three thousand millions of

are maintained for prudential reasons
