how can the boys be persuaded to stay

drudge from day to day, give the boy
an interest in the farm, ask his opinion
as to the best mode of doing a piece of
work, and if his way is a good one,
follow it or adopt part of it, and let
him see that you think something of
his opinion, even if he is boy this
will stimulate him to study agricultu-
ral works, and to gain all the informa-
tion of farming he can.

be remunerative ; do not, as some
farmers do, put that money into your
own pocket, and tell the boy that it is
all the same as though he had it to
spend, as the farm will be his by
and by. Very few boys understand
such talk, and if they do, would rather
have one dollarsnew than the prospect
of having ten dollars in ten or tif-
teen years time. If the boy wishes
to purchase young stock with the
money received for his COW, let him,

The prospects for new Jail do not
seem to be quite as encouraging as they
were. The readers of the TRIBUNE will
remember that at the last meeting of the
Board of Supervisors a resolution was
adopted. submitting to a vote of the pco-
pie proposition to raise $4,000, by bond
ing the county, to build new Jail. This
was all right, but the law requires that
notices of such an election shall be pub
lished and posted in prominent places.
This has not been done, and it is the
opinion that this neglect will cause the
election, if held, to be Illegal. This will
destroy any prospects for new Jail un-

NEVADA AT THE CENTENNIAL Ford,
Secretary of the Ophir Mining Company, who
has just re nrned from the East. says the Erter-
prise Of the Cd, is good deal disgusted with Ne
vada's part in the great Exhibition. He says il
took him one wI,H day t. find the Nevada
quartz mill, and he would t then have found
it had he not encountered Nevada man who
had spent two days looking for the mill and who
by some chance had at last found it. The mill
is little shanty outside the main Machinery
Building, and is located just where no one would
think of looking for it. When the mill WAS
finally discovered it was not running Two men
were lying off there who said they would start
up at o'clock in the afternoon This is after
most of the visitors have left the grounds. At
the time Of Mr. Fords visit there was some water
in the pans and little amalgam was seen in q
pot He says they have crushed about dozen
sacks of ore aud the rest is stacked up in the
mill. There was no one about the place to ex-
plain anything. He also found the building
that is being erected for California and Nevada
The interior was wholly unfinished and was
filled with scafolds and trestles. A man in ut
tendance told him that he might register his
namc, in order that it might be seen by persons
from California and Nevada. Mr.. Ford asked
where he should register, and was facetiously
told that he could write his name on the side
of the building. Nevada's collection of minerals
is very poorly displayed in Government build
ing. where no one would think Of looking for IT,.
The Major was disgusted with the whole bust
ness. SO far as Nevada and California are con-

The Argus has correspondent who signs
himself Ante Bellum and who discusses the
financial question. In treating of the curren-
cy he reasons like lanatic, but he correctly
understands the position of the argus and,
making an extract from an editoria! in that
paper, goes on to say:


Thus, then is admitted upon the double
authority of the Bulletin and yourself both
the feasibility and the process within one
days reach of the government of utterly dis
pensing forever with specie resumption in this
country, and still accomplish every purpose
for which currency is designed.


The Argus when that editorial was published,
apparently labored under the impression that
it was hard money article, but its corresron-
dent exposes the drift of its reasoning. Its
ideas on finance are about as clear as those it
has regarding modern political geography,
the kingdom of Greece for example.

1t has been often pointed out that in the
decade preceding the war the only genuine
defenders of the reserved rights of the States
were the Republicans, and that the Demo-
Gratis, overlooking for the time their pet dog
ma, made fierce assaults upon the personal
liberty bills as unconstitutional and treasona-
BILE. Indeed the Democracy whenever it has
been entrusted with the national authority
has paid very little attention to State rights
in States held by its opponents. This is but
one instance out of many of Democratic in
eonsistencies. The latest is afforded by the
Democratic course in the House in regard to
the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus
in the case of the witness Kilbourne. For
years Democratic orators have been declaim-
ing against such suspension, denouncing il
as unnecessary, unconstitutional and tyran-
nical even in case of rebellion where it was
required by considerations of public safety.
Now, in time of profound peace, when the
public safety is not at all concerned, these
Democrats make an issue with the judicial
branch of the government (which by the
way they have long contended has been de-
prived of its proper weight) and grave
ly argue that a suspension of the
writ of habeas corpus is right and
proper. They claim that this right, a
right which has not been claimed by legis.
lative body for hundred and fifty years, is
inherent in the House and can be exercised
whenever the House feels that IFS authority
has been defed or its dignity affronted. As
questions of contempt ''admit of no precise
definition" the House can call anything it
pleases contempt, and the imprisoned citi-
zen is left altogether without redress.


Thus it appears that these Democrats have
all the time been insincere in their professed
regard for the sanctity of the writ of habeas
corpus and the preservation of the liberty o.
the citizen. Upon the most trifing pretext
they do not hesitate to violate both. Only
the storm of remonstrance, ridicule and con.
tempt which their proposed action brought
upon them deferred the majority from hold.

and as il was quite one.half of them put

The next Cniou Republican National Convention

v1ce.President of the United States will be held in
the city of Cincinnati, on Wednesday, the fourteenth
day OF june 1876 at II O'Clock noon and will consist
OF delegates from each State equal to twice the

and OF two delegates from each organized Territory
and the district Of Columbia.


In calling the conventions for the election of dele

commended to invite all Republican electors, and all
other voters, without regard to past political dit
ferences or previous party affiliations, who are
opposed to reyving sectional issues, and desire to

all the constitutional rights of every CITIZEN INCLUDE

without intimidation and without frauu; who are in
favor of the continued prosecution and punishment

forms in government as experience may from time to

and IN favor OF sustaining in every way the national
faith and financial honor; who hold that the common
school system the nursery of American liberty and
should be maintained absolutely free from sectarian
control; who believe that, for the promotion OF these
ends, the direction of the Government should con-
tnue to be conded to those who adhere to the prin
cpes OF 1776, and support them as Incorporated in

Many purchasers OF real estate are un0er

Houses are considered as finished BY the
builder when the gas fittings are completed.
If the tenant puts them in, it is not denied
that as between him and the landlord they
are his, and he may remove them, or they
may be sold as his personal property on an
execution by the sheriff. No doubt the
owner, X they Belong to him, often sells
them with the house. They add more to

What are the two vital problems
put out to this country at this mo-
ment? First, to get honest, efficient
and economical service in the place
of dishonest, Incompetent, wasteful
and costly service. Not merely to
change servants: that, at best. would
be only a temporary relief; but to
radically change the system. As we
now manage, or rather mismanage,
our civil service, 1t is not only cor.
rups, but corruptinR. The mischief
constantly tends to increase. The
good official Is debauched, the bad
made worse. A more ingenious ma
chinery for propagating public i'm
morality could not well be devised j;
and the people have to pay the piper
in all senses Here is one of the
things to be done-to substitute for
our present demoralized and demor-
alizing civil service, a civil service
that shall be neither the one nor the
other, but shall be all that a civil SER
vice should be, and nothing that q
civil service should not be.

section OF the country is disturbed by
violence and paralyzed by misgovern-
ment; so long as white is arrayed

so long as hundreds Of thousands OF
our countrymen and fellow citizens
have a smarting sense Of outrage and
oppression-so long will the victory
OF the Union be incomplete, so long
will our politics be feverish with dis
ease. The problem Is a knotty one;

the Southern States attracts the at


tention and commands the sympathy


of the whole Union. In their pro-


gressive recovery from the effects OF


the war, their first necessity is an in
telligent and honest administration


OF the government which win pro-


tect all classes OF citizens in all their
political and private rights. What


the South most needs is peace, and


peace depends upon the supremacy
Of the law. There can be- no endur-
ing peace il the constitutional rights
of any portion of the people are hab-
itually disregarded. A division Of
political parties resting merely upon
distinctions Of race, or upon sectional
lines. is always unfortunate, and may


be disastrous. The welfare of the
South, alike with that Of every other
part OF the country, depends upon
the attractions it can offer to labor.
to immigration and to capital. But
laborers will not go, and capital will
not be ventured, where the constitu-
tion and the laws are set at defiance,
and distraction, apprehension and
alarm take the place Of peace loving
and law abiding social life. All parts
OF the constitution are sacred, and
must be sacredly observed-the parts
that are new no less than the parts
that are old. The moral and mate
rial prosperity Of the Southern States
can be most effectually advanced by
a hearty and generous recognition Of
the rights OF all, by ala recognition
without reserve or exception. With
such q recognition fully accorded, It
will be practicable to promote, by the
influence of all Legitimate agencies
OF the General Government, the ef-
forts Of the people Of those States to
obtain for themselves the blessings
Of honest and capable local govern
ment. II elected, shall consider it
not only my duty, but it viii be my

Let me assure my countrymen of

an administration. it will be one which |
will regard and cherish their truest |
interests, the interests of the white |
and OF the colored people, both and |
equally, and which will put forth its
best efforts in behalf Of civil policy |
which will wipe out forever the dis
tinction between North and South in |
our common country. With a civil |
service organized upon a system |
which secures purity, experience. effi- |
cheney and economy, a strict regard |
for the public welfare solely In ap-
pointments, and the speedy, thorough |
and unsparing prosecution and pun
ishment OF all public officers who be-
tray official trust; with a sound cur
rency; with education unsectarian |
and free to all; with simplicity and
frugality in public and private af-
fairs, and with fraternal spirit OF
harmony pervading the people Of all
sections and classes, we may reason
ably hope that the second century OF
our existence as a nation will, by the
blessing OF God. be prominent as an
era of good feeling and a period OF
progress, prosperity and happiness.
