FOR STATE CONTROLLER.
ID. NJ. hENELELD.
OF TUOLUMNE.

Why THIS OPPOSITION ?-The Cabi-
net oIder intended to carry out the spirit
Of Scott Lords resolution is received with
II howl of dlsapprobalion by the Southern
press. For the life of US we cannot see
where the ground ofthis disapproval comes
in. The order simply provides that ev-
cry man entitled TO vote and desirous of
voting shall be protected in his right OF
50 doing. 1t does not aim to disfranchse
one single man, nor TO compel any man
10 vote in any other manner than what
his predictions lead him. Yet the
Democratic papers, in that spirit Of mis-
representation which has actuated the
party for many years, asserts that it is
nothing more or less than scheme to
carry the elections in some of the South
ern States by force ofalm If fanything
were wanting to convince us OF the de-
termination Of the " White Liners " tc
carry a 4" United South 4" by violence
and intimidation, this opposition to a sim
pile Cabinet order designed To protect citi.
zens in their absolute rights would fur
uish it.

very peculiar degree. His strength lies
in the fact that he has exposed and pros
ecuted men who have defrauded the pub

established that he had been enriching
himself by defrauding the Government.

THE SERyIAN WAR.-A dispatch re-
ceived this week gives accounts of a bat
tie between the Turks and Servians in
which the former were defeated with
great loss. The general run Of dispatch
es from this war are so contradictory in
character that it is rarely possible to
gather any connected idea of the truth
1t would seem however that the Turks
have the best of it so far.

bonus was for political purposes and
was for the advancement of the interests
of the republican party. He professed
to be as much surprised at the

To the Editor of the Sentinel.
SIR: As much is now said as to which
party will elect the next president, send
you a statement of how think the states
will vote next November. 1t is my can
did opinion that Governor Hendricks will
be nominated at st. Louis, and that he will
be elected in November. The democrats
will carry every Southern state except
South Carolina, aud / claim six Northern
states, viz: New York, New Jersey end
Connecticut in the East, Indiana in
the West, Oregon and California on the
Pacific slope. 1 do not say That
the democracy will not carry other states,
there are three or four states given to the
republicans which are mighty doubtful.
Your readers can readily point out the
dou btful states In the republican column.
The country is getting back to first princi-
pies. Slavery being out of the way the
United States is largely democratic. No
farming country can afford to follow a
stealing and tariff party; whisky, rings
won't save Morton 81 Co. in 1876. .T

the head of the know-nothing orgsnizs-
