JOHN SHERMAN's ''D--D BARREN
IDEALITY,o

The bill for the payment of back pen
sions to disabled soldiers of the late war,
has become a law; and thus, at last, the
nation has done fitting, though tardy
justice, to the many thousand brave men
who lost life limb and in defense of their
country. Nor will these armless, legless
men all over the land forget who stood
by them in their hour of need and saw
to it that this tardy justice was done
them. And it will not be strange either,
if they should remember also, that,
when it was proposed to pay them a
scanty dole, of few dollars, for the suf-
fering and privation they had under.
gone, out of. the nations treasury-the
treasury that responds 80 readily to SUBJ
sides and grabs-a loyal President sign
ed the bill under protest, and John Sher-
man, the representative man of his par
ty, deprecated its passage, lest it might
interfere with his pet chimera of resump-
tion! The dead heroes might rot in the
ground, and their widows and orphans
might starve-thH were light matter,
so John SIS odd barren ideality" were
not disturbedl-Ne,UdrE Advocate.

HENRY WARD BEEoHER, who has
commission to labor in the vineyard Of
the Lord, which, by the way, ought to
have been revoked some four years ago,
preached sermon last Sunday on "MOr.
atty" In the course of his remarks he
referred to Mr.. Tilden as ian old, crafty
paraIytic." During Brother Beecher's
great trial there was no evidence tending
to show that he was a paralytic, but he
gave many people the impression that
he was an eighteen carat hypocrite and a
paroxysmal old fraud.-ET.

GA DYsPEPTIC PErTIFoGGER." ="

We have read carefully the article in
the Repository, signed "a Taxpayer" on
the subject of the bill providing for a
settlement with the Fessler bondsmen,
and conclude that it must have been
written by some dyspeptiC pettifogger,
whose digestion is bad, and whose liver
is overhowing with bile. The tone of
the communication indicates more the
handiwork of demagogue, who has
some personal spleen to crafty, or some
selfish end to accomplish, than candid,
fair-minded citizen, who has the real in.
terest of the county at heart. His state
ments are but rebash of the opinions
once held by the public generally, as to
the financial responsibility of the bonds
men, but we find no PROOF to justify us in
changing our opinion, that the county in
the end will make more money by Civ
ing our commissioners some discretion
in the matter. Taxpayer" may be cut
out of some fees he might otherwise gain
in some of the lawsuits originating from
the attempt to force a collection of the
full amount, but from the best informa-
ton we can gather, the county will save
a large amount in costs, and receive
more money from the bondsmen than
would be gained at the end of lawsuit.

SOME evidence before the Potter Com
mittee Monday substantiated the fact
that Minister Noyes had been in secret
conference with the Republican mem
bers of the Returning Board before the
result was declared. The importance of
this is, that Noyes gave sweeping de-
nial to ever having held such a confer
enCe when before the committee. He
made it all right with McLin and Cow
gill, and doubtless used the money Mr..
MackeY took South.

ONLY NEWS WANTED. While we are
always glad to receive items of news
from all parts of the county, we wish it
to be distinctly understood that the Ban.
ner cannot be used as medium through
which correspondents can slap at their
enemies or attack parties that may be
obnoxious to some of their neighbors.
Within the past week we have received
from one of the villages in this county,
two communications; and while they
contain a few items that might interest a
portion of our readers, yet it is very OBJ
vious that the principal object of the
writers was to give a dig" at certain
persons whose names are mentioned in
the most obnoxious manner. If people
commit breach of the peace or violate
the laws, let the facts be reported to the
Prosecuting Attorney, so that the wrong
doers may be dealt with accordingly. We
do not wish to stir up bad blood through
our columns, or be defendant in lot of
libel suits.-M. Vernon Banner.

They found everywhere the most cordial
feeling and unbounded hospitality on
the part of the Mexican people, and a
strong desire for closer commercial re-

especially note an earnest desire on the
part Of public men of Mexico for in

STATE SUPREME CoURT.-The Supreme
Court Of the State has announced its de.
cision, and it's reasons therefor, on the
Constitutionality of the statue laws of
1877.7S, dividing the State into Judicial
districts for the purpose of holding Dist
riot Courts alone, and the appointment
of Judges therefor, and pronounced the
act of legislation unconstitutional
Judge McIlvaine dissenting. But as yet
they have made no decision as to the
constitutiouality of the various acts Of
the legislature since 1862, creating four
subdivisions in judicial districts. While
the learned opinion of Judge White is
convincing and clear, yet he expressly
reserves one of the points made by Judge
Laubie in his argument to the court in
favor of the constitutionality of the acts
Of the legislature creating 4th subdivis-
ions in judicial districts. Judge Laubie
will continue to hold till the point held
in reserve is decided.-Salem Rp.

An election, which is to determine
whether the new Constitution shall be
adopted or rejected, is being held to-
day in California. 1t is considered the
most important election ever held in
the State. For the Constitution are
arraigned the werkingmen and the
farmers, the most radical and conser-
vative elements in the State while
against it are all the corporations, with
the exception, perhaps, of the Spring
Valley Water Company, San Francisco.
A mild, but effective system of intim-
idation, is being used by corporations
and manufacturing firms, to get those
i'll their employ to vote against the
new Constitution, They are not as
sailed with shotguns as is alleged to be
the custom in Louisiana, but the tactics
inaugurated by Federal officers at tie
Vallejo Navy Yard some years ago, are
adopted. The employed are given to
understand that if they desire to retain
their places, they must vote against the
Sand Lot production, that being the
name by which the new Constitution is
known among it's opponents, though a
majority OF the convention which
framed it, were elected as non partisans
against the workingmen. 1t is the
general opinion in California that the
country will give majority for the
new Constitution, and that unless San
Francisco rolls up heavy majority
against it, that it will be adopted.
That this would not be such calamity
as many predict, is not believed by
Henry George, editor of the San Fran
cisco State, a journal that has opposed
the new Constitution on reasonable
grounds, who says:
''The effects of the adoption of the
new Constitution are grossly exaggera-
ted by its opponents as well as by its
friends. The poor ignorant fools who
are going to vote for it with the idea
that it will restrict Chinese employ
ment, check political corruption, miti-
gate land monopoly, equalize taxation,
or in some indefnable way help the
poor, by crushing corporations or throt
thing capital, will find in time, if they
are so fortunate as to carry the day,
that it will not do single one of these
things. Nor yet will the adoption of
this Constitution, or of any other Con-
stitution, necessarily shut down the
mines, close manufactures, break
banks and paralyze business.

The Eureka Leader says: "There is
fun ahead and plenty of it. There is
going to be shaking UP of dry bones
that will jar the Silver State from its
eastern to its western borders. The ex-
citing cause of this prophesied rumpus
is the libel suit of Senator Comins
against A. V. Hoyt, the former pub
Usher of the Cherry Creek Independ-
emit. The latter denounced the Sena-
tor in unmeasured terms in a very
bitter article in his paper, and the for
mer retaliated by procuring an in
dictment against Hoyt for criminal
libel. Hoyt has retained the legal firm
of Bishop & Sabin to defend him, and
Comins has procured the services of c.
J. Lansing From what We can learn
of the intentions of defendants coun-
sci, it promises to be cause celebre.
The line of defense to be adopted will
include the subpenaing and enforced
attendance of every member of the
Legislature and the entire Carson lobby,
from Steve Gage and Yerington, of the
Virginia and Truckee Railroad, to the
most insignificant henchman of the
railroad companies and other corpora
tions, What Messrs. Bishop & Sabin
expect to prove is not for us to com
ment on, but that they will whoop it
up lively can be safely counted on. If
they do not get at some Of the bottom
facts, reach the inner workings of lob
bies, and strip to public gaze the mo-
tives which actuated some OF the legis-
lation of last winter, then we are mis-
taken. Judge Bishop is one of the
shrewdest lawyers that ever handled a
case, and his client could not have
placed his cause in better hands. We
fancy that Hamilton will be lively
locality about the time that the trial
comes off, and such gathering as is
promised will astonish odd Pogonip.
1t will be fun for the boys, but death
to some of the fellows who have been
boasting of the way they run things
last winter. The honest maker
has nothing to fear. He can well ex-
claim, Let the CALLED jade vince, my
withers are unwrung.

To PREVENT MILITARY INTER.
FERENCE.

The President s veto of the Army APP
preparation bill, with the provision that
troops should not be used at the polls,
except to repel invasion, does not APP
pear to satisfy Congress or to prevent
the introduction of similar bills. As
the contest on the vetoed bill was be-
tween the Democrats who favored it
and the Republicans who opposed it,
Ladd, the Greenback member from
Maine, has, with the view of ending
discussion on the subject, introduced a
bill, independent of all appropriations,
tde full text of which is:
WHEREAS, The presence of troops at
the polls is contrary to the spirit of our
institutions and the tradition of our
people, and tends to destroy the free
dom of elections; therefore, be it en-
acted, ETC., that it shall not be lawful
to bring to, or employ at, any place
where a general or special election is
being held III a State, any part of the
army or navy of the United States, UNI
less such force be necessary to repel
armed enemies of the United States. or
to enforce section 4, article 4, of the
Constitution of the United States, and
the laws made in pursuance thereof, on
application of the Legislature or Execu-
tive of the State where such force is to
he used, and SO much of the law as is
inconsistent herewith is hereby re-
pealed.
1t is believed that this bill will sat
isfy the Democrats, and will not be
violently opposed by the Republicans,
who do not like to be placed in the
position of favoring military interfer-
ence with elections, and that Hayes
will sign it.
