A FEW particularly Uuscrulu Gus
demsgogues iu Virginia aud north
OF the Potomac river, because Of the
decisive defeat OF Malone last Tues
day, are doing all they can TO cause
renewal Of sectional luminosity.
Pbey claim that the black voter Of
Virginia was "terroTzed" into stay.
ing away lrom the polls last Tues
d2y. The fact is, That he was at the
polls more uumerously than ever
before, but, being tried OF Malone,
IN several thousand instances be
voted the D. mocrst ticket. Then
there are about forty thousand more
white than black voters in Virginia,
and not many thousand Of them vot-
ed for the Malone ticket. The Dan
vile riot was probably organized by
Malone for the purpose OF keeping
eolld and steady the black vote. 1t
had tie reverse effect Of solid!fyine
and stesdying the white vote against
Malone. That is all there is to it.

Tearing IL out Of a Democraticpaper
NJ NJ, Luzader,
This man, NJ. M. Luzader, taught
singing school at this place, and
attended Normal school here during
this summer. To the best of our
knowledge, We never criticised the
acts OF the man in our paper, and
are quite cure that his name never
appeared IN the ARGUS in any Of her
than the personal column unless
perhaps, II wac mentioned by some
OF our local correspondents. But.
Judging from TIE somewhat obscure
language Of the card, it appears that
HE Royal Imperial High Mightiness
doesn wish his name used in the
ARGUS simply because it isa Demo
cratic paper, Nov. thia crank is a
school teacher, By profession, we be-
lleve' and IS dependent upon the
public for his living, and TO say the
least, a man 80 situated, that will
give ventto his political spleen in
the above manner was either drunk
when be did tor else he is bonn
bastic fool. The language used and
its construction proves clearly that
be is crank Of high order. Fur
ther, a man who is that partiz4n in
bis views il not TT to teach theFyoung
idea" Of our land, even though we'll
qualified 70 DO 90.
On receiving The card we showed
1t TO several prominent men Of our
town, both Domocists and Repub-
leans, and they, one and all, conoIud-
I'd that the person who wrote il
could be nothing other than an i'm
macuiate ass, and our readers
throughout the county will arrive at
ihe same onsiusion no doubt
in conclusion will say that IL
guevss us sorely TO have to 0se toe

ingly necessary for us TO DO 90 just

A Boom In Diamond.

This property, of which there has been
so much said of late, has been developed
up to such a standard OF excellence by
Mr.. Phillips. one of the proprietors, and
also Superintendent, that its owners have
been encouraged in erecting a furnace upon
the ground for the reduction of the ore.
The old Hoosac furnace and building have
been purchased and are being removed to
the spot, and everything is being placed in
readiness for their re erection. New ma
chinery direct from San Francisco will be
added, and when all is ready the work of
smelling and reducing will be COM
menced. Fifty men are employed above
ground in addition to those in the mine.
Or the former some are engaged in dig
ging a water ditch which will be extended
across Diamond Valley, q distance of 1000
feet, 1900 feet Of which is completed and
ready for pipe laying; others are grading
roads and making the foundation for the
furnace. Teams are busily engaged in haul
ing stone, lumber, etc, and everything
around the place is full of life. The
mine. it is said by all who have visited it,
will justify all the expenditures that are be-
ing made. there being 1000 tons of ore in
sight in the mine, according to c~alcula-
tions made, added to which there are $500
tons upon the dump ready for reduction.
A store and lodging-house will shortly be
erected near the mine for the accommoda-
ton Of the men, and from all appearances
Diamond will soon loom up as one of the
live camps of Eastern Nevada.

Fatal 1.

Last Saturday James Elwood, formerly
Of Eureka, was killed on Jesse Winters
ranch. Silver Greek, Elko County. The
Tuscarora Times thus describes the terri.
BILE accident: The belt OF the threshing
machine was becoming detached from the
driving wheel. when Elwood, who was
feeding, seized o scsntling to prevent its
coming Of. In attempting to readjust the
belt. the end Of the heavy rubber tagging
became detached from the wheel, and I'M.
winding, acting like q whip, struck Elwood
on the head aud neck, killing him instant
ly. The wheel was revolving at the rate OF
800 or 700 revolutions per minute. and the
blow must have been q powerful one, as
the skull was fractured and the neck
broken. Deceased was q native Of lows
aud about 80 years Of age. He was well
Known in Tuscarora, having worked at the
Independence mine last Winter. He was
a quiet, industrious man. Of the strictest
integrity, and greatly esteemed by all who
knew him. He at one time lived at
Eureka. where he owned considerable
property. but came to Tuscarora from the
Yankee Fork country some time last Fall.
