The IMPROVED LEArHER.-An ex.
change says; "The most original gen
tleman in the country is Ebcnezei
Leathers, of New Hampshire. Mr.
Leathers became dissatisfied with his
name some time ago. 1t seemed 10
lack the elements of euphony necessa.
ry to his classically attuned ear. lie
sent petition to the Legislature Of
his State asking that his name be
changed from Ebenezer Leathers To
Rutherford B. Hayes. The prayer was
granted and Mr.. Leathers now re.
joices in a title both poetical and aris.
tocratic. 1t may strike some persons
as strange that Mr.. Leathers should
have selected such name when he
must know the risk that he runs and
when such names as Uriah Heep
Pccksniff and Claude Duval were
spread before him. OF course there's
on accounting for tastes"

THE COMING ISSUE.


Republican demagogues artfully con-
found secession with State rights.
There is no connection or relation be.
tween the two.
The question of secession the claim
that State had right TO withdraw
from the union of States--was sub
mitted TO the arbitrament of war, and
that court Of last resort decided that
no such right existed. The war not
only settled the question finally and
irrevocably, but II disposed of the only
reason why the question was raised.
In destroying theinstitution of slavery,
the war banished into non-existence
the only thing which ever gave rise to
desire for separation of the States.
And this decision has been accepted in
good faith.
There is no party or faction that ad-
vocates secession. Tho Democratic
party has authoritatively declared
against it. The South, so far from do
string to 90 out of the Union, is de.
termined not TO be driven out, but TO
stay in her place and enjoy her rights
under the Constitution.
We repeat, there is no possible con.
nection between the settled question OF
secession and the live issue OF States
rights as opposed to the centralizing,
State-annihllating tendencies of Radi.
calism. The Republicans claim that
the States are the creatures Of the cen.
trail power, as municipal Governments
arc of State authority. This is as dan
gerous heresy as the dead delusion
Of secession ever was. And this fatal
error must bc bravely combatted
must be brought to the test of argu.
ment; must be talked down and voted
down.
1t is only by mutual respect for each
others rights that the Nation on the
one hand, and the States on the other,
can each and all enjoy thcir full meas.
ure Of liberty and prosperity, and best
conduce to the happiness OF all the
people. The central Government
possesses all the powers delegated by
the States. Its authority goes not an
inch further. Tho Constitution, as
amended, is It's charter. All authority
not thus surrendered resides in the
States. This is democracy and COM
mon sense. And this theory is the one
on which our coutry can attain It's best
development,and our people enjoy their
highest attainable prosperity.

THE NIGGER.


If the following had originated in q
Democratic papcrY But it didn't, II
is from dcoply-dyed in tho.wool Radi'
cal newspaper, the Lamar (lowa)
Sentinel, head line and all
While the amiablc ldiocy that pro-
vailed in Congress during the recon-
struction days was at its height, the
nigger was enfranchsed.
He was invested with the ballot on
the pretty theory that he was man
and q brother, with an infusion Of sand
in his makeup.
1t was given To him on the school
girl notion that affection Tor the party
that gave him.his freedom would make
him its perpetual instrument.
But the nigger is less serviceable to
the Republican rarty as a voter than
ho was slave.
He needs too much coddling-too
much protection.
He can only vote the Republican
ticket when surrounded by Gordon
Of Republican bayoncts.
He has no grit in him.
There is more voting energy and
party strength in dozen raw Irish
men than in thousand well-fed mig
gers.
There is not an ounce of Stalwartism
in ton Of nigger.
The more niger the less strength
As slave the picturesque misery Of
the niger was an uniailing armory Of
party weapons-as freeman there is
no romance in him-cowardce is not
romantic.
All over the South he is throwing
his ballot for rebels and traitors, when
he votes at all
He is too cowardly to vote for his
convictions, or too stupid TO have con
victions
When Stalwarts get into power in
1880 he must either bo disfranchised
or compelled to vote right.
The free nigger is q fraud.

THE STATE BOARD OF EQUAL
ZATION BILL.

Among the first bills introduced in
the Senate at the present session of the
Legislature was one to create a State
Board of Equalization. The main
features of the bill were published at
the time it Was introduced, in the
SILVER STATE. 1t provided that the
Governor, State Controller and State
Treasurer shall constitute the Board.
and that each member shall be entitled
to the sum of $500 per annum in pay
ment of travelling expenses. The Gov
ernor's Private Secretary is made ex
officio Clerk of the Board at salary of
5000 per annum. The Board shall have
power to equalize all assessm ents aud
valuations for taxation of property stu
ated In two or more counties, including
railroads and all buildings, machinery,
engines and rolling stock used in the
operation thereof. The Board is EN-
powered to control the prosecution of
all actions brought to recover taxes up.
on the class of property mentioned. and
may. when deemed necessary. employ
counsel at the expense of the State to
assist III the prosecution of such actions.
This bill was undoubtedly designed
for toe purpose of making railroad tax
alton uniform throughout the several
counties in the State. We believe it
passed the Senate by unanimous vote,
