SILVER CITY. NEVADA, !
Sept. %, 1876.
A. c. POWELL, ESQ.,:
Dear Brother-The political issue Il
waxing quite warm in this State.
have no doubt as to general results Of
the States of Nevada and California
1t is generally regarded that these two
States will give Hayes and Wheeler
their electors by large and increased
majorities. 1t is reported that Senator
Booth, in company with the Secretary
of the United States Senate, George
C. Gorham. have arrived at their re
spective homes, both of whom will
stump California, and perhaps the
State of Nevada. Mr.. Booth is a pol
ished and very effective speaker, and
will do good service in the cause OF
Republican principles. The question
of solution is, .'Shall the Republican
party, the party Of justice, equality
and progress, continue to hold power,
and direct the destinies of this great
and growing nation, or shall the con-
troll pass into the hands of a party
whose past record bellies its present
promise of reform, and whose princi-
ples, wherever exemplified. have proven
to be dangerous to the maintenance of
national liberty and prCgressr Evi-
IDENTIFY one of the mightiest howls of
Democratic orators is the carpet bag
government down South. II is ever in
their eyes CALLING nuisance, and must
be abolished; for once they have be
come aDolitionists. They must, how
ever, be made to learn that Northern
man has the same rights and privileges
down South that the Southern men is
guarant. ed up North. But they can
not "scuey" the point. Their record
for the past City years shows them to
have been most vindictive and cruel,
and they dictated without any sense or
reason. They rejected the Missouri
compromise. They accepted, in 1856
in a platform at Cincinnati, Mr. Doug
las great doctrines Of popular soyer
eighty and non-intervsption" in regard
to the institution of slavery in the ter
ritories, on which platform the weakest
and silliest of all Presidents, James Bu-
chanan, was elevated. In a very short
duration the popular doctrine was
kicked overheard, and in 1860 Mr..
Douglas issue on tie slavery question
was ignored altogether, and they bolt
ed at the Charleston convention, defy
ing hell and the devil. What followed
is unnecessary to be called to memory
here. 1t is, however, proper to say
they got soundly whipped, and their
pet Institution in the trafic of human
beings, which should have been done
fifty years sooner at least, abolished.
Have they accepted the results of the
warl Have they learned to be decent,
to ''live and let liver No, sir, they
have not. They have learned nothing
by experience; they have been taught
rothipg by adversely. Neither contri-
ton for their sins, nor regrets foE mis-
takes, which must b. transparent, has
been manifested by it, In the face Of
ell these truths there is a class North
! who would unhesitatingly restore to
poyer such an element of indiscretiop.

now frequent At these, the beauties
| Just returned to town, after some weeks
sojourn by the sea and among the noun
tains. with the flush of health ON their
cheeks, and with the pleasure of turning
over the latest styles, are seen to great
advantage. The modes which these
openings disclose, show considerable
change from last season, and generally
for the better. Hats are worn less on
the nap of the neck and more ON the top
of the head. The colors of the hat itself
are generally very plain and even Quak-
er like, but the trimmings are very gay,
cardinal red especially abounding. Feath-
ers are much worn, especially small
white ostriches. The dresses are more
trimmed than ever. AT the opening of
Fifth Avenue theatre Wednesday even
ing, the dresses of the ladies on the stage,
which are always in the latest style, were
most elaborately trimmed especially with
strongly matched colors, as for instance,
red and yellow in bands, one above the
other These light up well with gas light
and therefore are better for evening wear
than day receptions, at which more sub
dued colors are likely to prevail.
But the ladies of New York who go to
openings, by no means compose all of
their sex in New York, and many of them
are occupying themselves in ways and
means to provide for
THE POOR,
whom we have always with us, but of
whom we are likely to have more than
ever the coming winter. The army of
the unemployed is vast and does not
grow smaller, and if The winter be
cold one great suffering is likely to come.
The difficulty will be complicated by not
being able to distinguish. IN many cases
the deserving poor from the tramps by
trade, of whom hundreds are focking
hither to spend the winter. But at all
events, relief associations of various
kinds, are already forming by benevo-
lent ladies, and some effort will be made
to tighten the distress. One ofthe effects
of the hard times has been to decrease
the number of
TRADE UNIONS,
of which several have gone out of exist
ence altogether and more are likely to
dc so shortly. When a mechanic, his
wife and children are in want of food,
he is not very likely to allow himself 10
be dictated by trade union, he takes
what he can get and lets the union go.
This decadence of trades unions is not
to be deplored. Useful institutions in
some respects, they became during the
flush times that followed the war, an in
tolerable tyranny, and interferred so
much with both employers and employ
ed, that portion of the hard times may
be fairly attributed to them. Forced to
come down they will descend 10 their le-
gitimate level.

Philosophical Reflections.

There is famous line in Virgil
which may be freely translated thus /:
Perhaps hereafter it will delight us to
remember even these things also" 1t
was spoken to the weary band of Eneas,
who had sailed so long over stormy seas,
met so many battling disasters; but it
belongs to us as we'll as to those old he
roes. There is scarcely any trouble so
dire that there is not certain halfmel-
apcholy pleasure in recalling it when it
is all over. While they are passing, our
woes are very apt to seem interminablef;
but as the slow days go on-the weeks
and the months-at last we have
ceased to suffer, and happiness has sprung
up like flower in our pathway. Human
pain is hard thing to contemplate, and
yet if it endures but for night, and JOY
cometh in the morning, we can meet il
bravely. Nor should an immortal soul
be conquered by any mortal woe. We
have never been cheated, says Emerson,
by any other-every man who is cheated
has cheated himself: and we can never
be wronged unless we ourselves consent
to it. These sentences seem untrue tt
the shallow reader, for their truth lies
deep in the foundation of things. 1t il
because the immortal part of us is all
which seems to the philosopher of value
that any merely temporal loss is not
worth reckoning. Does some one rol
us of our gold ?-but before the century
is over, we shall have left all that behind
us, and gone on. Does the enemy cut OF
our right hand but soon this wornout
garment of the body will be no more
needed. The wrong that hurts the SOU
is the only real hurt, and to that We
must consent before we can suffer 1t.

Origin OIL the Omnibus.

The long coach called an omnibus,
with the entrance behind, and the seats
along the side facing each other, origin
ated in Paris in 1927, and in 1881 it be-
gan to come into use in London. In
large cities it is found the most econom-
ical kind of carriage, except running. on
rails, for conveying the largest number
of passengers through the streets. in
Paris the public omnibuses are numerous
and commodious, though their progress
is slow compared with those of London.
One company has municipal monopoly,
and owns all the lines. The omnibuscs
on the several lines are OF different
colors. and the lines are lettered
from A to u and from ALB to
Az. In 1872 there were in London
fifteen hundred omnibuses, employing
nearly seven thousand persons. The
number was formerly much larger in
proportion, for in 1874 one company em-
ployed fourteen hundred omnibuses; but
a large part of the city and suburban
travel is now carried on tramways and
underground railways. In New York
City one was made in 1880, and run up
Broadway. In 1858 the number of these
coaches employed upon various lines
was four hundred and twenty-nine. This
was a considerable reduction from the
number on former years, owing to the
construction of horse-railroads, and by
1873 the number was reduced to about
| two hundred.

NUMBER 43.
The Suez Canal Purchase.

The debate on sthe usual address in
answer to the Queens speech in the Eng
lish Parliament touched upon but one
topic which demands our attentiOn-t the
purchase of the Suez Canal shares. In
the House of Commons, the Marquis of
Harrington, the Liberal leader, struck
the vital point by demanding TO know
how this purchase could secure an unin-
terrupted passage to India, for he appre-
hended that in case of war the Khedive
would at once close the canal. In reply,
Mr.. Disraeli declined to expose his hand.
He justified the purchase on the ground
that it was made to keep the canal from
falling into the hands of France, who
was negotiating for it. He considered
that the purchase gave additional Sc
curity to freedom of intercourse with
India but declined to enter into an ex-
planation as to what England would do
in time of war. In the House of Lords,
Earl Derby declared that the purchase
was made to secure an uninterrupted
passage through Egypt, and to prevent
the establishment of a foreign monopoly.
1t is quite clear from this debate, if it
ever was in doubt before, that the Dis
idSit hhhioeiy hdNC iiupOituuJ pIOJcCuS
behind the purchase which they do not
wish, as yet, to expOse-projects which
contemplate an unbroken and perma-
nent right of way to India through the
Mediterranean and Egypt. The mouth
of the Mediterranean they hold with the
impregnable fortress of Gibraltar; and
the other narrow portion of that sea be-
tween Cape Bou and Sicily they COM
mand with the Isle of Malta and its ac-
companying fleet. Given path through
Egypt, and the short route to their In
dian Empire is fully in hand. 1t is
clear that they intend much more
permanent footing in the Khedive's do
main. We have already called attention
to steps toward securing control of his
railways, and the mysterious mission of
Mr.. Cave, on which Disraeli also refuses
explanation, indicates a purpose to effect
some offensive and defensive alliance,
even if not complete possession, which
shall make Egypt, to all intents and pur-
poses of defense, a British dependence.
This is altogether the most important
step in European policy since the treaty
of Paris; and we are far from hearing
the last of it.-Cincinnati Times.
