PLEADs NOT Guilty

Hon. ROBERT G. WINTHROP of Boston
was lately announced as vice president
at a democratic meeting there, and has
since come out aud made write plea of
not guilty. We are inclined to solicit for
Mr. WINTHROP u due measure Of commis.

spectablity, Of unquestioued honor, large
ability and model hightoued gentleman,
possessing all the graces Of superior man

aud public spirit. To be credited with act.

THE Indianapolis Seatineiis advising that
United States Marshal DUDLEY be mobbed
and tarred and fenthered if he persists in
enforcing the election laws by the appoint
ment of supervisors. 1t says such would
have been his fate twenty-five years ago II
he had attempted such thing. There are
sectious OF Indiana, doubtless, where dem
ocratic mob could be raised to resist the
federal law, just MS there were sections
which required the presence Of federal
troops during the war to keep down cop
perhcad mobs and Knights of the Golden
Circle. There is very little change in such
counties since and they are just the ones
needing supervisors and marshals. They
will get them, too, in spite of the ScnGncrs
threats Of violence. Marshal DUDLEY Is
determined to have free vote aud fair
count if possible, and no one but ballot
box stuffer will object.

IN time of peace prepare for war, is among
the most thoroughly observed of military
maxims by the Germans. The headquarters
staff arc unceasing in tho pursuit Of informa.
tion and the acquiring of correct knowledge
concerning Improvement in arms Of all kinds.
Their annual reviews are not mere holiday
performances. They are fields for care ful OBJ
servation and study of the details of the
science of war. They have devoted since 1866
especial attention to their artillery and in
flntry arms. The result is many important
notifications in the character aud use of these
important weapons. The campaigns of 1866
showed the superiority of the French chase,
pot over the needle gun, whereupon the Ger
mGns at once adopted an improved breech-
loader now they are making magazine gun
and a rifle which will fire twenty fl vc rounds
per minute. They have discarded tho
shrapnel, but have been seeking for gun
which will discharge Il she II which will burst
into n shower of fragments, thus reaching
troops in intreuchments or protected in WOODY y
localities The necessity of securing some
form Of vertical fire from artillery is absolutely
necessary. They are providing light guns for
horse artillery Whlch can De rhpldIy conveyed
from one point to another for the purpose Of
resisting cavalry charges aud TO provide for a
convcrging fire upon nm infantry advance. The
German army is mass of men strong in
physique and endurance, thoroughly equipped
aud drilled, controlled by intellect from the
highest field officer TO the suba tern of the COM
pany, all moved by a common, well. defined will
and schoolel I'm the most minute details of the
military science. In all purely wariko as
poets It is the one army in Europe which may
be pronounced iuvinciblc.

"LET us have peace" cries the southern
democrat. That is perfectly feasible. When
every citizen in tho south, without regard
to political opinion, color or previous con.
dition, is permitted to vote once according
to the dictates of his own conscience and
to have his vote honestly counted without
being overwhelmed with tissue ballots,
there will be peace and fraternity through
out the whole country, and never until that
and is successfully accomplished.

The colored conundrum in the south is
easily settled in this wise: The colored
man can work and delvc at low compensa.
tion. He can go to church. He can hold
agricultural fairs. He can do these things
without molestation. But when he at
tempts to think and speak and act as q citi-
zen and exercise his rights as such in eau
Gus, convention and at the ballot-box, he be-
comes "the vagrant bondsman Of unscru'
pulous political leaders, and he is diyested
of these rights by the interposition Of the
shotgun aud rife. This is the way the
colored problem is settled at the south and
the democrats thus settle it, and this in a
free country.

TIE Baltimore Gazette, democratic, now
rolls up its eyes simultaneously and ex-
claims, hopefully, that the day is not dis.
tant when the calm, good sense of the
American people will offectually check that
pornicious system which is fast bringing
the elective franchise into disrepute in the
eyes of the whole civilized world" This
would imply, if sincere, that the democrats
have concluded to abandon that pernicious
system,' which has made " a solid south "
and has disgraced civilization

Mr., ENGLISH is very confident that the
democratic plurality will be 1000, and
Senator MCDONALD is still more sanguine,
and places it as high rs $4,000, for the
reason that 1t was $4,000 in the last cleo
ton. Mr.. EEGLIsH cannot discover any
reason for change in the relative strength
of parties Perhaps not. This, however
implies that he has no just appreciation ol
his own unpopuarity and Of the waning for,
tunes Of tho democratic party in his state
under the leadership of himself and Ian,

THE British steamship Mississippi recently
took on board at Corun ma, Spain, 139 stecragc
passengers for New Orleans, who were going
out to New Orleans under contract to work
on sugar plan tations. Their passage was paid
out and one years employment guaranteed
to them at stipulated wages. Tho Mississippi
touched at Havana as usual on her voyage to
New Orleans. At that port Spanish officials
came aboard and took by force forty-four men
from the steerage passengers Oh the ground
that they owed military duty to Spain. The
captain of the steamer protested, and reported
tho facts to tho British consul. This certainly
seems to US a very peculiar exercise of power
and one which will probably raise serious ques.
tions of interna tional law.

THE editor of the A,yonamt bemeans his

his sorrows on being compelled to hack up
tough go5blers while the family sit and laugh
at his ludicrous discomforts and wretched at
tempts at what in some countries is looked
upon as real art. IL Pixley would only
make his wife carve the turkey, as we do, he
would be spared all this annoyance. If com
PEELED to work at the thankless task, he should
splash the gravy over some guests shirt front,
land the second joint in his wife's lap, and
wind up by dropping the fowl on the floor.
With reasonable allowance of tact man
can easily shirk the responsibilities of turkey
carving. One of those A1yonaM receipts for

on this important subject.

THE STATE PRINTING CONTRACT

During the past msnth the APPEAL has
made several grave charges regarding the
award Of the State Printing contract, and
also regarding the manner in which the work
has been charged fer since Marshall Robin
son has performed the functions Of State
Printer. We have presented facts and
figures, and backed up all the allegations
made by documentary proof. Mr.. Putnam,
the expert, has endeavored to divert atten-
ton from the main issue by covering the
lingsgate, thrown at Ms in an awkward way,
by man who only showed the weakness of
his position by so doing. This resort to
personal abuse was particularly gratifying to
Mr.. Putnam was in error. Mr.. Robinson,
who is somewhat more calculating and crafty
than Putnam, had the sense to make no re-
ply-a course always advisable when one has
nothing to say. We asked Mr.. Robinson
some plain questions, which an honest man
would not be long in replying to. He has
vouchsafed neither reply nor explanation.
The Times of last evening, however, not
having realized the real import of Mr.. Rob
insons silence, flies to his defense without
first taking the pains to ascertain whether
or not he has any desire to be defended.
It says:
Marshall Robinson, the present State
Printer, is an old citizen of Carson, man of
integrity, and who commands the general re-
spect of our people, His good name is doubt
less as dear to him as that of others. The
contract for the State printing was awarded
to him some two years ago, and his bills for
doing the work have met with the full APP
prevail of the Board of Examiners.
There are several mistatements in the
above. Mr. Robinson is not considered in
Carson as a man of integrity, nor does he
command the general respect of those who
know him. He is looked upon simply as a
plausible old humbug. The assertion that
his bills have met with the full approval of
the Board is absolutely false, as the minutes |
of the Board will show. Two fraudulent |
bills, to which the APPEAL called attention, |
were cut down one-half. The reductions of |
Robinson's bills, which had been signed as
correct by the expert, can be verified at any |
time by the editor of the Times.

| A CASE OF. THINKING. Every body likes
Ruff. Shoemaker, of thesGrass Valley Free
Lance, because he is running over with orig
inality and because he loves and appreciates
nature and all its pleasant belongings. A
man of such a temperament had rather lay the
| columns Of his paper at the feet of the goddess
| who sends the trout brooks leaping and foam
| ing down the mountain side and strews the
| hillsides with flowers than to describe fresh
| invoice of yellow soap and kits of No l cod
| fish at twenty cents line. Nature repays its
admirers in good health, pretty fair article of
conscience, but these grocery fellows put up
the coin to pay the printers with. You can go
on putting the mountain scenery for years
and none of the grand old pines ever walk
into the sanctum with $S for years sub
scrption. We write this mere in sorrow than
in anger, and hold no ill feeling against the
pines. We simply regret that circumstances
are such that their wealth goes into the peck
cts of the Tahee Lumber and Fume Com
pany instead of ours. Mr.. Shoemaker thus
frees his mind regarding the Nevada Trans,
c9ipt man who is rusting business fellow
and knows how to make newspaper pay,
which is an excellent trait, by the way:
The difference between ourselves and the
Transcript is that we think too much and of
too many vain things; it does not think at all,
according to the evidence in the case. When
the transcripts head piece was constructed
the thinking machinery was left out. It has
nothing to think with-no thinkener. 1t guards
jealously and zealsusly its business interests,
but that comes more from habit than thought.
If Transcript will only once, some fine after
noon, 60 out and leok at Banner mountain,
and watch the changes of light and shade that
glerify that peak, as the sun is setting, it will
experience new sensation and be happy for
it, Such a contemplation might possibly
cause it, some time, to dream dream in
which fifteen cents was not concerned; such
sight might induce it to build just one
castle in Spain.
While the Free Lance man has been erect
ing his Spanish castles the transcript man has
been putting up two story brick.
