which is just approaching. On the
one side will be the Republican
party. We never have denied to
this organization the need of
recognition to which it is entitled.
It sprang, like political Minerva,
full-fedged from the brain of the
country. Could one dissociate the
Republican party from its access

and debased it, it would be thing

vulgar wealth, the "codfish aris-
tocracy," the "new Riches" of the
United States. It has made itself
the hired servitor of capital and
corporation aggression. Every dis.
tinctive concession to banded wealth
which has characterized the
United States during its entire
history has been made by men
with either Wing or Republican
antecedepts. There is a sentim ent

Greenback movements. These in

up for that purpose, could, were
they at all potential, have only
one effect, that of dissipating the
grand Democratic upheaval. For

honest and well-meaning that
their leaders cannot control them;
and, when the decisive struggle
comes, the designing element will
be found without a following.

nor Labor party, nor both COM

single vote in the Electoral Col
lege which will choose the next
President. Even In Maine, in the
Presidential year, the strength of
the Greenback and Labor parties
would simply guarantee the cleo
ton of the Republican Presidential
electors, for a plurality, not a ma
jority, elects in that issue. A near
ly universal appreciation of these
facts will, next year, leave the
projectors of side.shows under the
grave suspicion of being really, at

of Bailey was sent to the Senate.
Wells also rendered evidence to
prove that Bailey was nominated
for the position at the special re-
quest of Seward. He quotes let
ter from Mosby, in which he says:
1.-THE Seward ring wanted Bailey
at Shanghai to cover up Stewards
tracks, and Loring or Lincoln to
cover up Bailey's. They have for
years dominated China and
crushed out everybody that was
not subservient to their interests.
There is no doubt of the fact that
for many years there existed out
here a Consular ring, just as cor.
rupt as the whisky ring that lived
and thrived by plundering the gov
eminent, ship-owners and sailors.

A PROSPEROUS COUNTY.

The Sentinel points with pride to the
quarterly report of the Eureka Auditor,
published in it's columns, which shows
cash balance of $50, 900 in the Treas
ury over and above all liabilities. ''Not
a county in the State, and probably not
one on the coast, exultantly exclaims
the Sentinel, "has SO fair a record as
Eureka" The financial prosperity OF
Eureka is due to it's mines, which have,
since the organization of the county six
years ago, produced millions of dollars
worth of bullion, and are to-day paying
more dividends than all the other mines
of the State combined The two prin.
cipal mines Of the district, the Rich
mond and Eureka Consolidated, pay
regular monthly dividends, and though
their bullion product is not as large as
that of several of the Comstock mines,
the cost of its production, notwith-
standing the ore is base, and has to be
smelted, is proportionately much less
than on the Comstock..

PROFITABLE BUSINESS.

The Executive and Legislative De.
partments of the General Government
offer extraordinary inducements to am.
bilious and INSCRIPTIONS individuals to
become Office seekers. d. T. Corbin,
an enterprising and not excessively
modest gentleman, whose knowledge Of
law was acquired as a pettifogger in a
Justices Court, and who, it is said, was
never admitted to the bar, was APP
pointed United States District At
torney for South Carolina, in which
capacity he served during Chamberlain S
administration. He then became am
bilious to serve the State, in which he
had no interest whatever, as United
States Senator, and prevailed on what
was known as the Chamberlain Legisla-
ture, body which even Hayes would
not recognize, to elect him to that posi-
ton. Though the so-called Legislature
never passed bill, and was not recOg-
nized by the State or National Execu-
tives, and dispersed of its own volition
before the term for which .Corbin as
sumed to be elected began, he went to
to Washington and never ceased knock
ing at the door for admission until last
February. Though the Senate decided
that he was not entitled to the seat
which he sought, it allowed him the
full pay of a Senator, besides contingent
expenses for the two years which he
spent at Washington, and now he is
further rewarded by the President, who
has nominated him to the Chief Justice
ship of Utah Territory. This nominal
ton provokes the San Francisco Stock
Report, pronounced Republican jour
nal, to say that Corbin is not fitted in
any sense for the place; that he is a
mere professional office seeker, without
special ability in any pursuit; and in
behalf of the people of Utah, to express
the hope that the nomination will be
promptly rejected by the Senate. Both
Houses of Congress and the President
Of the United States encourage men of
the Corbin stripe to seek office; Con-
gress, by paying them for contesting
seats to which they are not entitled,
aid the President, by giving them
lucrative Federal offices, when their
. claims and pretensions are adversely
decided by Congress.

THE NEGRO EXODUS.


The Boston Advertiser says: Inc
work of the Northern Association
among the Southern negroes, inducing
them to emigrate from the South, has
resulted in the present exodus. The
movement began soon after the Presi-
Dental struggle. The popularity OF the
Liberian movement among the South
Carolina blacks led the exodus mag
mates !" to open correspondence with
Western land and railway agencies, and
just as they were about ready to talk
up the advantages of the chosen West
ern paradise, the railway land negotia-
tors themselves rushed in with glowing
prospectuses and precipitated stam-
pede. This land comes to the railway
company as subsidy from Texas. The
sections between railway lands belong
to the State, and these are to be pre-
empted at 81 so per acre. 1t is under
stood that about $500 families are
ready to start April l9th-Emancipa-
ton day. Letters have been received
in Boston within a week from leading
Southern colored men, stating that the
tide will swell until there will be suf-
ficient decrease in the population of the
Southern States to reduce the repre-
sentation in Congress in the next appor-
tionment by at least fifteen. The To-
cality in which these new settlers were
to have been collected was Texas, be-
tween New Mexico and Indian Terri
tory. Here, starting with about 20, 900
men, one-third of them with families.
it was anticipated that in time the Ter
ritory might be set off by itself as a
State, to be called Lincoln. In fur
Inference of this scheme, there was
formed some months ago in this city, a
National Farmers Association. This
Association engaged from the Dallas &
Wichita Railroad Texas corporation
So alternate sections of land, to be
paid for at the rate of 81 80 per acre.
The Association issued lots of 200 shares
of stock, each share at 800. These
are sold to the colored people, and are
accepted by the railroad corporation as
cash in their purchase of lands. The
organization referred to is one of several
in the North, the formation being pre-
coded by the circulation of political
documents among the negroes during
the past two years. Probably the most
influential of these documents have
emanated from Boston, known as "the
first principle papers. The latest
were issued in August last, entitled "a
plan to transfer the freedmen of the
South to the Government lands of the
West"

Two herdsmen quarrelled ON a. Ne
braska prairie, and each threatened to
kill the other. Neither was armed,
but there was gun in their hut, mile
away. Both started for the weapon,
and it was race for life, for the man
who got it was certain to shoot his COM
panion. They had several fights on the
way, and were bruised and exhausted
when they neared the goal, but they
ran with desperation, and kept abreast
until close to the house. Then one trip
ped and fell, giving the other the lead.
The victor dashed into the building,
pulled the gun down from it's hooks,
and mercilessly murdered his fallen foe.
