On motion of Mr.. Coulon, seconded, Mr..
l.. Nicholas, being granted the privilege of
addressing the Jury, stated in substance,
at follows
That the lease for the Raceland ferry
granted to Mr.. Rome, was. in his opinion,
illegal, as it was made by private adjudica
ton and without due public advertisements,
that it the ferry had been sold at public
auction after due public notice. as the law
directs, it would have brought a larger
sum than that of adjudication to Mr.: Rome
because he and Others intended to bid on
same: in conclusion he prayed the Jury to
annull Mr.. Rome's lease and to resell the
terry according to law:

DEFAnlNG THE DEAD.

Defamation of the dead is the worst
of crimes and the most cewardly. The
Chronicle assails the memory of Garfield
by accusing him Of corruption, and cites
the Credit Mobelier and De Golyer
pavement cases. These ISLANDERS were
so effectively disposed of in the last
campaign that they were only laughed
at, and the Voice of the American
people at the polls told how they re-
garded the evidence. Cakes Ames
swore he paid Garfield a check drawn
in his favor on the argeant-at-Arms
The Sargeant-at-Arms sWore that the
check was in favsr of Ames, and he
got the money. The check itself bore
out the testimony Of the Sargeant-at-
Arms and stamped Ames as a periurer.
The charge that GarfeId's hand was
always out for gain is pretty effectively
disposed Of when one considers how
many years Garfield was Chairman of
the Ways and Means Committee, the
most available place in all Congressional
offices for a man who wants to acquire
money through his political influence.
Garfield left this position poor man.

In another column is a letter from a
Carson lady to the Eureka Leader.
which very pertinently puts a question
before the people which is in our opin-
ion vital question for the voters of
Nevada to consider. There are now
before the people of Nevada two can
didates, Enocii StrOther and Jewett
Adams. One is gentleman Of edu-
cation, dignity Of character and ire
proachable personal habits. The other
is professional gambler, man of the
densest ignorance and so indifferentiy
educated that he mispronounces the
commOnest words of the English Ian
guage. That such a man should ~
pire to so high an office as GovernCr OF
a State, is one of those enigmas that
nobody can find the renlotest eXplana-
ton for. The APPEAL does not claim
that man must be versed in science,
literature and arts to make good
Governor, and Mr.. Adams, even in
spite Of his educational deficiencies
might still be able to do the State ser
vice as its Chief Executive. During
the past eight years Jewett Adams has
made the Capitol building a gambling
den, and this fact has been open and
notorious There is generation of
boys and young men growing up in
Nevada who can be ruined by a bad ex-
example, and Mr.. Adams has persistently
set that example. You cannot find one
professional gambler out of twenty who
will not admit that he wished he had
never touched card, and all over the
country can be found men by the hun
dreds who have been drawn into the
vortex which circles about the card
table and gone down into irretrievable
bankruptcy and disgrace because they
were unable to shake off the fascination
of winning money instead of honestly
earning it. Nevada is a gambling
State. In all new countries the vice is
one of the commonest things known
and there is not one man out of one
hundred who has not on some occasion
or another yielded to the temptation.
Where there is one successful gambler
there are nine more whose families
must become impoverished because the
one man mentioned is lucky. That
there are laws in our statute books con-
trolling and regulating the vice is a suf-
the voters recognize it as an evil. The |
faro dealers are restricted to certain por-
tiens Of building and pay heavy |
license for running games. There is |
not the slightest difference in principle |
between running a game for money in
SWeeny's saloon and another game for |
money in the Capitol building. In one
place you bet on single card and in |
the other you win or lose on hand of
cards. In our opinion, if the Lieuten-
ant Governor runs a gambling den in !
his office, he should pay his licence the
same as other people. The question
has been very gingerly handled by the
press, but it is time that there was
some plain, square talk on the subject.
1t will be a digrace to this State to
have such man occupying the Guber-
material chair, and a positive injury to
the rising generation, who, with such |
an example before them, would be ten |
times as apt to fall victims to the temp |
tatiens OF the card table, as under Or
binary circumstances.

y
catch votes" A common thief usually
feels some little shame when detected,
and will attempt to excuse his dis
honesty. Not so with this man Cassidy
who would 60 to Congress.
1t would be interesting to get at the
fellows private thoughts. There was
never rascal yet that did not consider
himself better than the average man.
Cassidy, too, who for money broke his
pledged word, and who forgot that he
was dull, Ignorant, gross and vain, had
the audacity to attempt to brazen out of
his villainy, doubtless in his heart fiat
tiers himself that he is no more than
others, and that the people like himself,
are dead to feelings of homer and de-
cency. Congress, indeed! A fine rep
resentative In the halls of the nation,
truly {! VIGOROUSLY corrupt, living on
the fruits of shameful political bargains,
densely Ignorant, vain, colase, narrow,
willing to sell his vote to the highest
bidder, and caring no more for what
decent men hold sacred than common
strumpet cares for the principles which
guide a chaste woman, and quite as
dead to shame. We would not insult
the people of Nevada for an instant by
admitting the possibility that such a
man could be sent to Congress from this
State. 1t is the colossal vanity and
assurance of the man that earns this
attention, and the fact that he has
paper through which he makes those
mountainous characteristics manifest.
The paper is like himself-indecent,
and held for the highest bidder. 1t is
now sold to a man upon whom, but
few years ago, it heaped the foulist
abnse. We wish General Williams Joy
of his journalistic bargain and new
found friend-George w. Cassidy, the
breaker of pledges, and the brazen
apostle of dishonesty.

Kansas Flourishing.
GARFIELD, June II, ]

GARFIELD, June IL, 1867.
Editors Reporter:-Perhaps short
letter from this part of Kansas would
not come amiss to your readers, and
taking this to be fact, [ will endeav-
or to pen you few words, giving you
the true state of things as they now
exist in this lovely part of Uncle
Sans dominion. We have had one
of the finest springs for putting in
crops (With the exception of being a
little cold and bac kward) it has ever
been my lot to experience. Crops of
all kinds and garden vegetables are
looking splendid. One of the finest
crops of wheat that was ever harvested
in Pawnee county will be harvested
this year if nothing happens in the
shape of bad weather while its being
cut and stacked. Harvest begins this
week. The straw is short but the
berry is plump and the head large.
Peas, turnip, lettuce and radishes are
luxuries with the farmers here now:
also new potatoes as large as hens
eggs. The wool harvest is now com.
ing into market, and considering how
little it costs to keep sheep here, (this
being natural sheep country those
farmers that have them are reaping {
big thing this year, and with a Crane
wheat harvest close on their heels
and the latter backed by fine corn
fields, sorgum, broom-corn, and MILE
fields, and the latter backed by beau.
tiful herds of stock. [ tell you it il
grand to see the smiling faces that the
farmers wear this spring as they drive
into town with their big loads of wool
receiving in return a good price anC
ready cash, with wheat to follow close
after. Certainly this part of Kansas
is being blessed by that great promise
which we find in the teachings of the
bible: There shall be seed time and
harvest unto the end of the world
This part of Kansas is sometimes
called by our eastern friends "drouthy
Kansas" but the loveliest rains I ever
experienced in my life have fallen this
spring as often as three times a week
hardly week passing without q good
refreshing shower.
