Those who would learn the secret of the suc- cess of clarvoyants would do well to study in detail the performances of that wonderful lad who recently convinced the residents of St. Albans, Vermont that he was Charley Ross.

WE should like to know VIVA

We should like to know what
inducements the people OF Lyon
county have to offer the Virginia
and Truckee Railroad Company to
RIM a branch to Bodie through their
domains? A little semi defunct
gathering of taxpayers took the lead
in raising the taxation Of the road
(and whether right or wong we
have nothing to say and now desire
the company to run a road through
desert land for their accommodation
Carson Tribune.
The V. & T. Railroad Company
will extend their road through Lyon
county to Bodie just as soon as it
can make money by so doing. Lyon
county need offer it no inducements.
The Carson Tribune dare not say
whether the increase of valuation
was right or wrong because its edi-
tor is Partial to the railroad. The
people, know, however, that the
raise was just, and do not care what
the Tribune man thinks about it.

DEMOCRATIC TRICKS.

The progress of Republicanism in
the North. and the prospect that
every Northern State will be Repub-
lican in the future, inspires alarm
among the Southern Brigadiers.
This is manifested in several ways.
When the Democratic National Com
mittee met at Washington, recently,
Chalmers, Hampton & Co. proposed
to them the policy of taking the
choice of Presidential electors away
from the polls, and giving it to the
Legislatures of the States in the
South. Before the war South Caro-
lima chose its electors in that way,
and the Constitution does not pro-
hibit it. 1t is contrary to Demo-
cratic Republican ideas Of Govern
mcnt, but that doesn't stand in the
way of these Southern oligarchs.
The fact is, they are afraid that the
colored majorities in South Carolina,
Florida, Louisiana and other States,
will assert their right to vote next
year, and they want to provide
against the possibility of being beat
en- in tine popular vote. They can
elect Legislatures without the inter-
ference of Federal authority, but
they cannot elect the Presidential
electors without such snpervis-
| ion that fraud and bulldozing will
be difficult. Nothing could better
illustrate the fears that beset the
Democratic usurpers than this trick
to cheat the voters and to subvert the
United States Government by an
oligarchy.
But this is not the only trick they
are practicing. The Republicans of
South Carolina and other States have
been recognizing lately, preparatory
to the campaign of 1880. This is
against Democratic wishes, and Ham
burg Buffers men have inaugurated
the old system of repression. The
shooting of the Postmaster at Black
vile is but one of many instances OF
violence that have already been dis
covered. 1t is probable that the
bulldozers will not practice this sys-
tenn extensively against United States
officers, for the Government will
discontinue the service if its officers
cannot be protected. But no active
Republican officer can be expected
to have peace or even life for a long
time, in any of the Southern States,
where there is an actual Republican
majority that must be kept down.

ALE EXPOSED

The following item. which appeared in the
Gold Hill News and Enterprise Of recent
dates. lie FALSE:
At meeting Of the School Trustees Of Sill
yer City last Saturday, to investigate charges
of cruelty preferred by d. E. Harkin against
Miss Lou. A Plummer, teacher of the primary
department Of the public school In that place.
that body not only exonerated Miss Plunmer
from all blame but approved her action on
the occasion, and concluded that a less rigid
discipline would be detrimental to the best
interests OF the school.
Some testimony was taken for and against
Miss Plummer, but no decision was reaC he'd.
In fact, the Trustees did not discuss the mat
ter at all. As soon as the testimony was taken,
the Trustees announced that they would take
the matter under advisement. The item is
therefore an unmitigated falsehood, and the
person who wrote 1t knew 1t to be so. want
Miss Plummer to have q fair show, but am

FHE ONLY FAIR WAY.

The Virginia Chronicle disagrees
with us as to the basis upon which
railroads should be taxed. In re-
cent issue it had the following:
We are not prepared to indorse
the principle suggested by the TIMES
namely, that Washoe county
should tax the V. Il T. r. r. as
much Der milo as Storey does. The
portion of the track lying in Washoe
county runs over level country
and could not have cost moro than
one fourth of what the Storey coun-
ty portion did.-Virginia Chronicle.
The principle is nevertheless cor
rect, and is in accord with Supreme
Court decisions. A railroad must
be assessed AS A WHOLE; that is to
say, part of it must be assessed, not
according to its cost, but according
to the value of the entire road, as in
Dictated by the profits derived from
it. Were any other method to OBJ
tain. Assessors and Boards of Equal
ization would be compelled to as
sess the "bare rails and ties" and
what rolling stock happened to be
within their jurisdiction at the time
oflevying the assessment. This is
lust what the railroad men would
like, as they could thus escape the
payment of taxes on at least eighty
per cent. of their property.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

NJ. ]. McManus, Secretary of the
Silver City Miners Union, suggests
that State Board of Examining En-
gineers be created, whose duty it
shall be to examine the engineers
and runners OF engines, and to issue
certificates to such as are found COM
petent, all others to be denied the
certificates without which they can
not obtain employment. The idea is
a good one, and should be embodied
into a law by the next Legislature.

HOW IT Is LOOKED Upon.

About week ago 1t was announced
in these columns that the Miners
Unions Of the Comstock had Endorsed
the action of the Bodie Miners
UNION in ordering away George
Daily and his hired assassins.
Strange to say, none Of the State
papers copied the item, all agreeing
In ignoring 1t altogether. The San
Francisco Stock Report, however,
rightly deemed the matter worthy
OF notice, and made the following
comments:
AN ILL-ADvISED ACTION.
By unanimous vote in each, the
Virginia, Gold Hill and Silver City
Miners Unions have Endorsed the
action of the Bodie Miners Union
in expelling George DAILY and the
Jupiter miners from Bodie. Surely
the members of these Unions do not
reflect that indorsing the action OF
the Bodie Union they are raising up
dangerous precedent, which places
force higher than the law of the land,
and which may one day react against
themselves. These Unions are es-
tablished for the maintenance OF
miners rights, but the expulsion OF
DAILY was an interference with the
rights of another, and the action OF
the Nevada Unions is an expression
that they are not willing to accord
to others the same freedom and priv
ileges that they demand for them
selves. The Unions are strong
numerically, which enables them to
enforce their rights, but there is q
power in this land higher than
Miners Unions. Suppose the miners,
in contending for their principles
were to commit overt acts against the
Jaws and the higher power were in.
voked against them, then there
would go up from their ranks a-cry
that they were being prosecuted and
that the machinery of the govern.
ment was being used in the interests
of capital to crush them. And vel
while they would protest against be
ing crushed themselves, they are
willing to crush others for daring t.
maintain what they conceive to bt
their rights.
The Endorsement of the action o.
the Bodie Union by these othel
Unions is an ill-advised action which
will some day react on the men who
have taken it, or at least on the so
cieties they represent. People viii
not be willing to accord much con
sideration to Miners Unions wher
those organizations are so reckless
of the rights of others.
We have no reply to make to the
Stock Report, although we are salts
fed that, If it were properly ex
planned, the action of the Miners
Unions would meet with the ap
proval Of all right.minded men. Blu
1t Is something that concerns the
Unions to Q much greater extent
than 1t does us; and If they choose
TO remain silent on the subject. VIZ
do not see why we should defend
them.

THE Indian war in Colorado

The Indian war In Colorado is
causing more of a scare than 1t de.
serves to. 1t will not probably
amount to great deal If dealt with
promptly. The fault is that it was
nor attended to in its incipiency. It
might. in fact, have been prevented.
But, to 90 deeper down, our whole
Indian policy is q humbug, neither
doing justice to the Indians, the
army or the white settlers. It ought

M. H. BRYCE, of Walhalla, 8,

Az H. 0hASn, Va Vo'uoi"S ~
C., brother of the late Alexander
Bryce, who was assassinated by
Democratic night.riders month
ago, has written to Washington re-
auesting the aid of South Carolina
Republicans in that city in raising
funds for the purpose of retaining
counsel to assist the State Attorney
in bringing the murderers to justice.
Mr.. Bryce was informed that his re-
guest would be complied with so far
- the money was concerned, but it
must be distinctly understood that
NO part of the money contributed
shall be paid to any Democratic
lawyer. Mr.. Bryce was advised to
secure the services of Hon. Martin l.
Townsend, of New York. Strange
~ it may seem, there are few, if any,
Republican lawyers # any note in
South Carolina, and Republicans,
whether they be white or colored, are
forced to trust their causes in the
hands of political opponents-which

attention is being paid, just now, to
this subject of obtaining redress for

like to have the facts get abroad.
