in Virginia City during the war say he
was q warm advocate Of secession, and
aa ardent admirer of jeff Davis. His
voice is indescribable, and sounded
more like a cross between the vail of u
hungey coyete than anything ever
heard in these parts. While as
sentence that he was telling the truth,
he told more lies in the same length of
time than the majority OF his audience
imagined aug living being capable of.
He spoke for two hours, as it appeared
to DO part Of his contract with those
who pay him for altering falsehoods.
to waste his breath for that length of
time. At the beginning he asserted
that no chairman Of u Congressional
CON WIS appointed from New
York or New England, aud before he
ended, proved him self liar by stating

party, though the bill accomplishing it
was introduced by Hooper. of Massa-

had control of both Houses, and passed
without having been read. by trick"
as Ell Senator Stewart terms it. He
called Hooper q Democrat, but his
audience knew that he lied when he
said 80. He also stated, in reference to
restoring silver. that no Democrat from
the Middle or Western States favored
the measure when the fact that Senator
Bogy, of Missouri, ably seconded the
efforts of Senator Jones in that direc-
ton is fresh in the memories of all
who paid any attention to the debates
in the last session of Congress. We
will not attempt contradiction of the
many falsehoods of Mr.. Woodburn,
and only regret that a man honored by
being elected to Congress by the peo-
pie, sioux in the face of an intelligent
audience, assert what he and they
knew TO be deliberate lies. The Dem
ocratic party may congratulate itself
upon the conversion of Mr.. Wood
burn to Republicanism, aud the thanks
of the Whole people of Nevada is due
to the Virginia Enterprise and Carson
Appeal for showing him up while he
Was in Congress. and preventing his
denomination for the place. A man
who aspires to that honorable position,
whether Republican or Democrat,
should have some regard for the truth
