Of The impartial decoration by the ladies

BY the flow Of the inland river,
When the fleets Of iron had fed.
Where the blades Of the grave grass quiver,
Asleep are the ranks OF the dead.
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judsmen, day,
Under the one, the Blue,
Under the other the Gray.
Those in the robings Of glory,
Thuse in the gloom Of defeat,
All with battle blood CORY,
Ia the dusk Of eternity meet.
Under the sod and the dew,
" aiting the judgment-dsy;
Under the laurel, the Blue,
Under the willow, the Gray,
From tho silence Of sorrowlul hours
The desulate mouruers 80,
Loving y laden with a ,wers
Alike for the friend and the foe.
Under the sod aud the dew,
Waiting the Judgment dayi
Under the roses, the Blue,
Under the lilies, the Gray.
So with an equal splendor
The morning sun rays fall,
Witha touch impartially tender,
On the blossoms blooDing for all.
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment day;
'BrOidered with gold, the Blue,
MellOwed with gold. the Gray.
SO when the summer caleth.
On forest aud field Of grain
With an equal murmur ialleth
The cooling drip Of the rain.
Under the sod aud the des,
Waiting the Judgment dayi

Sadly, but not with upbraidng,
The generous deed was done;

No bravcr battle vas wns.

No more shall the war cry sever.

KALLoCH's NEMESIS.

The tolls appear to be closing around
Mayor Kalloch. Now that the election is
over and there is leisure to attend to
other affairs, steps have been taken to ar
raign him for various offenses, and the
Grand Jury has presented him for the
audacious attempt to intimidate Judge
freedom, which We commented on at the
time of its occurrence. We had been
apprehensive that this unparalleled out
rage was to pass UNPUBLISHED, but it seems
that Justice may yet overtake the clerical
bully, and certainly there never was
stronger necessity for an exemplary pen.
atty than in this case. Kalloch's plans
have not succeeded of late. His political
combinations have proved unfortunate.
his bargains have broken down, and his
luck seems to have deserted him. 1t is
true he retains that wonderful congrega-
ton of his, which must surely comprise
the most singular collection of angular
heads in San Francisco, but he is no longer
the power in politics that he was formerly.
His desertion to the Democracy was an
error of Judgment which may probably
prove the cause of his downfall. 1t ex-
posed his want of principle in new way,
and it committed him to dubious ex-
pertinent, the failure of which now leaves
him without any resource. In fact his
Nemesis is approaching him with swift
steps, and rage and fume as he will the
indications are that his teeth and claws
will soon be drawn, and that he will real
ize that hardness which is said to distin-
guish the way of the transgressor.

A TOO TARDY DISGUST.

We cannot derive any consolation from
the repentance of those Democrats who
are just discovering that fraud and forgery
are not good agencies to make political
campaign with. We cannot forget that
these now repentant Democrats showed
themselves entirely and cheerfully willing
to profit by all the frauds and forgeries
their party could invent, so long as it re-
manned doubtful whether these agencies
would prove profitable. In fact we per-
ceive too clearly that it is only because the
frauds have failed, that the Democrats
renounce them. Their real moral status is
demonstrated by the eagerness with which
they adopted these methods. There was
the true test of their character No gen.
tleman will countenance fraud. No gen.
tleman will hesitate to reject fraud, even
when his own injury results. And the
term gentleman is only one for an honest
man. No honest man will agree TO take
his chances of winning by foul play. This
the Democrats did, and in SO doing they
characterized themselves, and the charac-
terization will remain with them.

State Senator from Josephine county, died
last night at Jacksonville after short i'll.
ness. Deceased was beautiful and accom-.
plisbed young lady.
f. S. Rodabaugh has been arrested here,
charged with obtaining $500 under false pre-.
lenses. He will have an examination in the
Police Court to morrow.
Judge Stoll has sentenced John Soule to
the Penitentiary for six years for larceny.
Particulars are just received Of the sui -ide
of r. j. Hendricks, ST., of Elk Head, Doug
las county. The deed was committed with
revolver. The ball passed through his
head, causing instant death. Temporary in,
sanity was the cause. Deceased was aged DC
years. He crossed the plains in 1852, and
has sincs resided in this State. He was an
upright, conscientious citizen, and highly re-
spected.
Emmett Brigham, son of Hon. VIM. Big

Owing to the prevalence of small pox in
San Francisco, considerable apprehension is
felt here that the scourge may be introduced
by persons arriving on the steamers from
there The proper authorities of the city are
on the alert, and will use every possible pre-
caution against the dreaded disorder.

THE CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATED PRESS
AND ITS RECENT WORK.

1t is in order to direct the attention of
been done in this State during the past
week by the California Associated Press,
In collecting and distributing the election
returns. Heretofore this work has been
done by the Western Union Telegraph
Company, but this year the Associated
Press took it in hand, and by its own agents
gathered every line of the great mass of
news which the RECORD UNION and its
colleagues have spread before their readers.
The Telegraph Company had some special
facilities for collecting information, being
enabled to employ its agents and operators
all over the State in the business. At the
last Presidential election its arrangements
were such that on the morning after the
election we published returns from ninety
seven points in the State. This,
however, did not satisfy the Associated
Press, and the result of its enterprise
was that last Wednesday morning we
were enabled to give our readers returns
from no less than three hundred and forty
two points. The public are very apt to
accept whatever is supplied them in the
way of news, as though it were matter of
course, and journalistic enterprise has made
SO many strides of late years that nothing
is thought very astonishing now. Never
theless, it is due to the California Associ-
ated Press to give it the credit to which it
is entitled for this absolutely unexampled
undertaking, and to point out that it has
on the present occasion completely dis
tanced competition, both as regards the
extent of the area covered and the accu-
racy of the returns obtained.

A COMPARISON.

lChico Semi Weekly Enterprise, November 5thl.
good many Democrats of tins town will have
cause to lJng remember this Presidential election
when they whack up their money fer lost bets.
Some two months since nearly every Democrat
stopped taking the RECORD UNION, 3 thoroughly re.
liable PAPER which contains all the Geographic dis
patches, for the Examiner, sheet which has no
reputation as newspaper, and whose dispatches
are garbled to suit the extreme copperhead views of
its proprietors. AS natural consequence these
misguided men were led to believe that their party
had won the fight, even after the most convincing
proofs had been furnished to the contrary and they
backed their opinions with money with perfect
looseness- There remains but one thing for them
to do and that is to settle up In the future they
had better discard the Eraminer and take the old
RECORD UNION, and thus save themselves much
trouble and put money in their purses.

Solid SOUTH METHODS.

Fragmentary revelations come from the
South, and serve to explain the solidity of
that section last week In Alabama and
North and South Carolina it is stated that
intimidation was practiced in the most
wholesale and systematic manner. Wade
Hampton's promise that his State should
go for Hancock by a larger Democratic
majority than ever was redeemed in the
simplest and most practical way by merely
destroying thousands of Republican votes,
and counting other thousands of Demo-
cratic votes which had not been cast. It
is interesting, while reading of these
methods of carrying out that plank of the
Democratic platform which declares that
the freedom of the ballot must and shall
be preserved throughout the United States,
to listen to the pathetic complaints
of Southern journals of TIE infexible
obstinacy and invincible mistrust of the
North. 1t would seem that the Southern
press cannot comprehend how these little
playful practices should operate as a bar
rier to the renewal of confidence between
the sections. 1t thinks the North ex.
tremely unreasonable because it did not
yield to the seductive arguments of the De-
mocracy and elect Hancock President.
Win the South ever learn that the freed m
of the ballot is question OF vital impor-
lance to Northern minds, and one which
even supersedes all Others in gravity ?
Until it does realize so much, and until it
abandons sentimental conplaints and goes
to work to root out tn alb ls,s which it has
hitherto fostered and encouraged, we fear
that it viii make very little rogress TO-
ward re-establishiag that confidence, the
absence of which it dep.ores q present.
