Notice to Registrars of Voters.

We desire to call the attention of
the Registrars of Voters of this coun-
ty to the fact that at the A pril meet
ing of the Board of County Commits
sioners, contract was entered into
with the editor of The REPUBLICAN
in which we agreed to do all the
printing and publishing for the
county, for and in consideration of
the sum of $780," to be levied to us
at the annual June levy, 1880. This
contract covers every class OF publ.
cations required, that can be done in
one newspaper, and oil the blanks
and hand bills required for the diff
ferent departments of the county.
Under. the above contract we stand
ready to do all printing and publish.
ing required by the Registrars of
Voters, and hereby request them to
send their lists to this Office, where
the work will be done promptly and
well. If this work is done at any
other office, bills will be presented
and the county will be expected to
pay them, whereas if the lists are
sent to this Office the work will be
done without any additional cost to
the tax payers of the county.

The Duty of the Hour.

An imperative duty devolyes upon
every we'll wisher of his country to
lay aside all personal preferences and
prejudicss and make common cause
against the common enemy of his
country, the Democratic party. They
loudly proclaim now that the United
States is not Nation, and while
they pretend to acquiesce in the re-
suits of the war their opposition to
the best interests Of the country has
never failed to show itself whenever
there was prospect of being able to
do mischief. Suppose for a moment,
the policy of the Democratic party in
any one instance in the last twenty.
five years had been sustained, what
would have been the disastrous re-
suit to the country? Democratic
platforms, orators and papers always
take it for granted that everybody is
so Ignorant or so forgetful that they
can cram any sort of absurd nonsense
down their Threats, without ques-
ton, they may choose. One G. the
favorite diversions now of that party
of false pretences, is to whine about
the glories of the Republic when I'M
der Democratic rule. The last Dem
ocratic administration went out of
power twenty years ago. Prior to
that time the country had been al
most exclusively under Democratic
control for thirty years, and when
twice the Wings elected a President
the public policy was dictated to a
large extent by the Democracy.
What did that party do in all those
years, a repetition of which would be
such a boon to the country? Did
they, by precept or example, seek to
inspire in the minds and hearts of
the people reverence for and devo-
ton to the Union ? On the contra
ry, since the days of Calhoun they
were sedulously intoxicating the
doctrine of State supremacy and pre-
pairing for the intended rebellion.
Instead of devoting their attention
to the encourageI tent of manufactur-
iAg enterprise, b ome industry and

steady progress and orderly develop
ment of the great business and COM
mercial interest of the country would
have been vain and fruitless.
If the measures / have quoted and
the records l have referred to correct
ly depict the course of the Democratic
party in the past, what might you
expect from it in the future? And
in the light of this experience, and
in full view of these facts, l ask all
the voters of Maine, and of the W hole
Union, SO far as my voice can reach
them, whether they think the finan>
cial policy that has proved so bril-
liantly successful should now be
placed under the control of men who
were its bitterest opponents, or
whether it had better be kept in the
hands of its friends. Among these
friends none stronger, ADLER, more
Jealous or more consistent can be
found than james A: Garfield! Never,
by word or deed; so far as l know,
has Gen. Hancock ever made any
expression on the subject! His letter

should say, indiscreetly. silent in re-
gard to this great subject as. indeed
it is in reference to all matters OF

Candidate English writes to a
friend that only the importation of
negro voters, frauds, and the use of
vast sums of money can give the Re-
publicans in Indiana a ghost of a
chance of carrying the State. Never
theless. Democrats as well as Repub-
licans concede that the outlook for
the Hoosier Bourbons is tolerably
blue, and they are saddened by the
thought that if the State goes Repub-
lican that fact will be due in a con-
siderable measure to Democratic
laundering. In the first place, there
was a national Democratic blunder
in the nomination of such close.
listed person as English on the ma
tlonal ticket but the nomination of
Landers for governor was greater
one and greater still was the State
Supreme Courts decision throwing
the election back to October, in the
face of the amendment adopted by
the majority of the people. making
the day for State elections coincident
with the national elections in Mo-
vember. The Democrats themselves
have been able to offer no excuse for
this decision, and its evident partisan
character has not only injured the
standing of the party in other States,
but has aroused the spirit of indigna.
ton among the better classes of In
dianians of both parties to such AN
extent that the Bourbon leaders have
come to the conclusion that discre-
ton is the better part of valor, and
are now making efforts to undo this
wrong. AT the behest Of the Demo-
cratic managers, who now perceive
the short.sightedness of their policy,
the State Supreme Court will meet
next week to hear arguments on a
motion for the reopening of the con.
stitutional amendment case and it
is given out beforehand that there is
no doubt that the preliminary mo-
ton will be granted, and that, in due
process of time, the former judgment
will be reversed, and the amendment
declared to have been legally adopted
by the people. This, of course, will
throw the State election over to No
vember. The defeat of the Democrats
in Indiana in October would be a
death blow to Democratic hopes in
November, in the Northern States.
and greatly increase the chances that
Florida aud North Carolina, and
perhaps other Southern States, will
go Republican. 1t is to prevent such
a catastrophe that the Democratic
Supreme Court of Indiana is again
called upon to drag its besmeared
ermine through partisan mire, and
undo the shameful work of three
months ago; but this very act is a
confession that the Hoosier Demo.

THE CHINESE TIDE.
What IL Thought of the Exodus by
Our Resident Celesfials.

Mr.. Wing Chung is the most intelligent
Chinaman in Eureka's Chinatown. He is
also the best fixed in the matter Of worldly
goods. In short, he is the kingpin Of the
outfit.
Happening in the Sheriff's office yester-
day, a SENTINEL reporter found Mr.. Wing
Chung busily engaged in conversation
with Under Sheriff Mason. He was prob
ably securing a licence for his tan game,
but we did not intrude ON the privacy Of
the affair sufficiently to learn his business.
When he had finished, however, the SEN
TINEL representative, ably assisted By
Jailer Ashley and Deputy Mckay, tackled
him on the Eastern exodus Of his country
men. Mr.. Wing Chung proved to be well
up in the whole business, and yielded
eheerfully to our Burleighs.
He said that he was regularly in receipt
OF a weekly Chinese paper, published in
San Francisco. From that Celestial jour
nal he learned that about five hundred
Cinnamon, all told, had gone East within
the last six weeks. Letters had been re-
ceived and published from some of those
who migrated earlier. These letters were
uniformly against the Eastern country.
The writers generally stated that the
opening for wash houses seemed "belly
good !" cooking, and other domestic pur-
suits, mo good" Wages are lower than
in San Francisco, and the Johns find it
difficult to find employment in families.
On the whole, Mr.. Wing Chung thought
the exodus would be comparatively light.
Those that had gone, he said, were dis
pleased with the outlook, and were writing
back to their friends not to follow them.

tons some former residents of Eureka, as
follows:
Yesterday Sam Hollis took his departure
for Fort Vancouver, Washington Territory,
where his father resides. His wife and
children win accompany him as far as San
Francisco, and after a short stay in that
place will go East for a visit to Mrs. Hollis
old home in Frankfort, Kentucky. Sam has
a host Of friends all through the mountains,
who will be pleased to hear that he has
made a ten-strike and leaves for the pater-
nal home with a 'ffat sack" Mrs. Hollis
is a lady of rare social qualities. and was
held in high esteem by all her ~acquaintan-
ees. Her friends view her departure with
exceeding regret, but there will be a warm
corner kept in many a heart for her. A
swarm of friends Of both Mr.. and Mrs.
Hollis gathered around the sleigh to say
''good-b by, and see them off. Mrs. Hollis
will return from the East sometime during
the summer when she will be rejoined by
her husband, who will probably locate here
again.

nAGGErT HEARD FROM.
The Reagan Bill and Other Matters
of Interest.

Governor Kinkead is in receipt of a letter
from Congressman Daggett, which he
causes to be published in the Enterprise.
We etract as follows
l think the school land exchange will
be made. | am pressing it vigorously be-
fore the Land Committee, and should the
bill become a law, the State can sell its
lands through offering inducements SINH
lar to those If the contemplated artesian
project by Congress. Undo the circum-
stances, l shall not introduce the Artesian
bill this session, at least not until l can see
what can be done with the other bill. /
have written to thise effect to General Hatch,
and as the report has gone forth that l
have an Artesian bill in preparation, l
would he glad if you would see that the
people Of Nevada are appraised Of the reason
why its Introduction has been deferred.
The Reagan bill is not dead, not by a great
deal. Through railroad influences the
majority of the Committee on Commerce
has been induced to report a substitute bill,
but l do not believe it can be put through
the House. The original purpose was to
make no report at all, after this strange
change had been wrought in the commit
tee but the public pressure became so
great. and charges Of illegitimate influences
with the committee were so openly limited
at in Congress, and emphatically made by
such of the newspapers as were not In rail-
road pay, that the committee have finally
consented to report all the railroad bills
back to the House on the fourth Wednes-
day in March. This will open the three of
them to discussion-just what the railroad
people do not want. 1t will be our purpose
to secure a substitution of the Reagan bill
for the one reported by the majority of
the committee. And right there the fight
will be made. And it will be a warm
one. l think we will be able to defeat the
majority bill. l should not be surprised
if the Riot Act should be read right there.
Tell those newspapers in Nevada that think
the Reagan bill is dead to wait and see.
Yours, r. NJ. DAGGETT.

A Familiar Voice From Spirit.
land.

EDITOR SENTINEL II am in q position to
solve a problem that has heretofore been
shrouded in mystery a problem, the solu-
ton Of which has caused the erection OF
pagan temples and mosques, heather
imagery and Christian c~athedrals a ques-
ton that has driven many a wise philoso-
pher into an asylum or a grave that ques-
ton which has caused more splitting Of
human blood than all the revolutions
against tyranny, or wars Of any kind,
which have made the earth tremble from
center to circumference for a period of six
thousand years.
The answer or result OF this problem
is that mankind live in a spirit world, after
having shuffied off that useless incum-
brance of flesh and one used upon earth.
And l take this occasion to fulfill a promise
often made bv me while upon earth, to
send back some token, if within my power,
so as to at least indicate to my beloved sub
jects, particularly in Eureka county, the
truth or fallacy of the belief in a life be-
yond the grave.
fulfill that promise. First, he would re-
main thdt tOnSistCuty JS"o tudS
should be sought after more than it APP
pears to be by some of my beloved subjects
in Eureka.
The action Of the Syndicate" in attempt
ing to get away with the remnant of money
remaining in the county treasury displeased
me grievously. Their course and action
all through the letting Of the last contract
was very, very tough" Their law and
logic was about as convincing to the we'll
balanced human mind, to say nothing Of
spirit wisdom, as was that Of the logician
who endeavored to prove that one cat has
three tails.
He proved it in this Manner: No cat has
two tails; one cat has one more tail than nc
cat, therefore one cat must have three tails.
The Courthouse question presents to me
a strange medley of contradiction in hui
man character. prairie du Chen" is di-
vided; a~ntagonistic and repulsive elements
in the Democratic party have gon con-
trary to a well-known law of philosophy,
and compromised their differences. The
most vehement advocates Of economy and
reform seek to change places with those
whom they have accused Of corruption and
robbery.
These things, from a spiritual point Of
view, are deserving OF more pity than CEN
sure. Alas poor mortal; you know not
what you dol Inordinate vanity in ZONE, a
greed for gain in others, and simplicity in
a few, render the whole world ridiculous in
my sight. Sin no more. NORTON 1.
