Another Letter from Sener's Home.

To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: Your correspondent, "RadicaI, writing
from Richmond, under date of the 18th instant,
sounds the keynote OF success to the Republican
party in this State in 1915, and gives some excel
lent advice as to how success may be accom-
plished.
agree with him that ]. b. Sener's head should
be Topped off; but some exceptions should be made
when it is proposed to turn out all his appointees
For instance, few good Republicans, who are in
dignant at his betrayal Of his party, should be
retained; but all who support Sener and oppose
the Republican party should be decapitated at
once.
The prospectus Of the Weekly Independent, to
appear March r. 1875, is before me. 1t is be-
lieved by those who are familiar with Seners
tricks that this is the Ledger rediviUHs, and
that the same old coon will attempt to run for
Congress as an independent in 1873, with the
Weekly Independent to puff him up.
1t is said he had his heart set upon iuigeship
in Colorado, but, no doubt. exhibited the cloven
foot too soon as is generally the case with selfish
men, intent only on their own aggrandiZement,
and failed TO get the cherished prize. Now he
has betrayed his party. got praised by the Oppo-
sitiou, and hopes to hoodWink the Republicans

ruption Of our party by this demagogue in 1876
If his friends arc recognized by the Admnistra-
tio1, and allowed to come into our conventions
into defeat in 1875. As for J. b. Sener himself,
he is repudiated by the best Republicans, aud
almost unanimously by those whom he has de-
ceived. We owe debt OF gratitude to Messrs.
Hays and Nash for exposing his falseness and de-
ieating him last fall.
our county and Congressional district committees,
a gentleman of standing and character, and al
though he never held or sought Office, he is the
kind Of man that should be recognized. His ap-
pointment in some prominent portion OF the dis
trict would strengthen our party.
Yours for the right and success,

The New York Sun says Gen. Banks
was in that city the other day and credits
him with having declared his preference
for President Grant for a Third Term over
JEFF Davis for First Term. Perhaps this
is intended as wit, but the suggestion that
jeff Davis may yet become a candidate for
President is not so improbable as it appears
at first glance. With Alex Stephens in the
House, and the Democratic party under
tie control of the Confederate army, it is a
fact probable.

Now THAT CoNGREss has adjourned

White League Democracy of the South
from overturning the reconstruction acts,

WHY does not II. c. Bowen tell all he
knows through the columns of the news

fifteen feet into the ground, and making hole

MIR, CAssIDY-S SPEECH.

We shall not attempt review OF Sen
ator Cassidy's elaboration of his own
speech on the Battle Mountain and
Austin Railroad Bill, as it appeared in
Sundays APPEAL. We merely refer to
it to commend the soundness of its po-
sitIons, the clearness of its statements
and the independence of its tone. 1t
smacks of the free air of the mountains.
1t smites in the face the creatures OF
cant and drivel who seem sent BY an in
scrutable Providence to help perpetuate
the solemn and semi-barbarous isolation
of far-distant wastes of saleratus and
rabbit-weed. Its sentences are framed
and jointed with terse. vigorous. self-re-
reliant. compendious. expressive Eng
lish; and the effort is one of which Mr..
Cassidy has right to feel proud. 1t is
not an extravaganza to say that it is the
best railroad speech ever delivered in
Nevada-if not On the Pacific coast.

practical education. With the endow-
ment they could give, they could COM
mand the services of the most competent
and famous scientists in the world. They
could illustrate the fact that vigorous
youth is capable of asserting the capaci-
ties of the Nineteenth Century as against
the inheritances OF classical past. in
whose grand memories it has not been
their lot to gather the gear of an elabor-
ate erudition. Do We hear q second.

A SUBSTITUTE.

Senator Cassidy's Louisiana ersolu-
tions received their quietus, in the Sen
ate, last evening. by a substitute intro
duced by Senator Varian. which will be
found in orr legislative report. Tho
document recites, in effect. that the Ne
vada Legislature finds nothing to repro
bate in the action Of the Administration
in reference to the Louisiana difficulties,
and while it expresses the sentiment
that the military is. and of right ought
to be, subservien. to the civil power, it
expresses undated confidence in
Presiden. Grants integrity and sense Of
Justice.
This is rs it should be; and We hope a
similar action on the question will be
had in the House. Let it never be said
that Nevada, the silver star added TO our
gloricus flag while it was obscured by the
smoke of battle, did, through her Lesis-
lature. express sympathy with those
who would trail that flag in the dust,
did they possess the power.

all the public highways, but in many
places there is not highway for many
miles.
OF a verify it is our wants and prefer
ences which guide our action. The
Pennsylvania Democrat is a high pro-
tect i've tariff man; he Nevada Granger
is opposed to any such reduction OF
freights as will enable his California
rival to compete with him in the hay
and potato market: the drover whose
herds roam the great plains at Pahrana-
CAT wants a fence law; the bucolics of
the Humboldt ask free unhindered
field for their cattle and sheep. We say
not this in a captious and and critical
spirit. The Humboldt stock-raiser
comes in with a substantial second to a
wise and timely opposition to the propo-
sed bill to compel railway companies to
fence their roads. The inpudence of
this measure becomes apparent when
we ullude to the fact that much Of
the land which would have to be fenced
were this bill to become law belongs to
the company, but is roamed over by
great bands of cattle belonging to per-
sons who have no thought of paying
rent for their occupancy. As further
earnest of the feeling in Humboldt
county, We reproduce the following copy
of petition:
To the Honorable, The Senate and
Assembly of the State of Nevada: The
undersigned citizens and stock men Of
Humboldt and Lander counties, respect
fully represent to your Honorable Bodies
that we are engaged in the business OF
raising cattle and other stock in said
counties; that the stock business is Of
great and increasing importance. and
adds thousands of dollars annually to
our State and County Treasures; the
public interest demands the fostering of
this business so far as practicable, and
wise legislation forbids its being hamper
ed in any unnecessary manner. The
Humboldt river traverses these counties
for a distance Of two hundred miles,
upon either side of which are immense
grazing sections. 1t is absolutely neces-
sary that our stock have free access to the
river and to the nutritious grasses upon
either side, and that they may room at
will. The Central Pacific Railroad
passes along the river from the western
boundary of Humboldt to the eastern
boundary of Lander. To fence this
road would greatly obstruct our stock
from passinc to and from the river: not
only our stock, but ourselves and herd
ers. We, therefore, most respectfully
and earnestly protest against the pass
age of any bill providing for the fancing
of the Central Pacific Railroad.

FENCING THE RAILROAD.

We experience sense Of encourage
ment when we find Democratic speak
err, talking as sound truths as Mr..
Cassidy promulgates in his speech; and
that grateful feeling is strengthened
when We find so emphatic an organ of
the Democracy as the Siirer State treat
ing q mcoted question with so much of
wisdom and fairness as are displayed in
the following remarks on the PROPOSE
ton to fence the railroad which traverses
the Humboldt deserts. Says that pa
Per
Some member of the Legislature has
introduced bill TO require the Central
Pacific Railroad Company to fence its
road in this State. We do not know how
the thing would work in other counties,
but it would be great inconvenience to
many of our citizens, and especially to
stockmen in this county. The road runs
along the Humboldt river, and mainly
upon the south side. Stock must have
free access to the hills and plains on the
south and to the river on the north side
O: the track. If the road should be fen
ced stock would have to travel for miles
to find crossings, large tracts of country
would become useless for grazing pur-
poses. because cattle could not cross the
road at will to get water on one side and
feed on. the other. Besides this, the
fence would be nuisance to stockbold-
ers, and would be continually broken at
various points. As stock would get in
at these breaks and wander along the
track, the road would be more danger
Gus than if unfenced, and instead of
protecting dome site animals from injury
on railroads the law would have the OPP
posite effect. Stockmen with whom we
have convsrsed ON the subject are with
out exception opposed to having the road
fenced. but possibly there may be others
who entertain different views. The
State might require the railroad company
to make crossings and cattle guards at

defer the matter. but it was his duty to obey
the law as he understood it, and that he intend
ed to do. He repeated that in bis opinion the
Board could do nothing without six members,
excluding Dr. johnson.
Mr.. Mckenzie did not see any objection to

as well be begun now.
Mr.. Smoot did not think it required six
members to proceed with the Investigation.
The President insisted that six members we're
requisite to carry on the investigation.
Mr. Mckenzie moved to proceed with the
Investigation, aud the motion prevailed.
The President inquired for Dr.. Powell.

proof.
