If the people of the north, the Repub-
lican party, who had it in their power to
hang every rebel in the South (and should
have hung the leaders, had the magua-
nimity to forgive them all, and restore
them to their former rights and privileges,
does it not seem as though they might
forget their old-time prejudices so far as
to recognize the colored man, at least ac-
cording to the constitution and laws of
the land that SO generously forgave them
their faults; and all the more SO when
we remember that the negro soldiery COM
posed quite a large and prominent part of
the army of the Union that had it in its
power to demand punishment to the full
measure for their crimes. Instead ,of
that, however, we present to the world the
spectacle of the rebellious States in full
control of one house of the national leg
islature, within less than ten years after
their lives were given them, and behold
them pursuing the colored man with all
the relentless cruelty they showed when
standing over him with an overseer's whip,
and thousands of these poor blacks have
met their death because they wanted to
vote with the party that struck off their
shacklcs. Mercy may be a good thing
but it has been fearfully misapplied in
this case.

Coaches, and combine the luxury and
comfort OF life at home, yet gliding over
this famous route, noted for its perfect
equipment and careful management, at a
safe rate of speed never yet attained by
any rival. A feature not to pass unnotic-
ed is the facility for reaching hotels. In
the immediate vicinity, within five min
utes walk of the Centennial Depot, are to
be found dhotels, at which good accommo,
dations can be had for two or three dollars
per day.


The Encampment at Elm Station, near
the Centennial Grounds, was established
by the National Grange of the Patrons of
Husbandry, for the purpose of accommo-
dating the large number of Agriculturists
who desire to visit the Exhibition, and to
afford comfortable resting place at the
moderate expense of two dollars per day


Taking into consideration the immense
sum of money, time and labor expended


ythis line to render perfect its accom-
mOdations for the comfort and safety of
its patrons, we unhesitatingly recommend
it as the most desirable route to reach the
Centennial Exhibition.

Now, that the summer crops will soon
be gathered; and our farmers everywhere
are happy over the abundant harvest, to-
gether with the fact that the demand fol
agricultural products will be great enough
to realize good return in the market, it
is we'll that those of our friends who in.
tend visiting the Centennial have their at
tention brought to the best and most eco
nomical means of reaching the Exhibition
now being held to commemorate our Tooth
Anniversary as a Nation.


Undoubtedly greater facilities are now
being offered by the Great Ft. Wayne &
Pennsylvania Line for reaching the
GATEWAY OF THE CENTENNIAL
GROUNDS, than is in the power of any
rival to Offer while for convenience, COM
fort and economy, none can dispute the
fact that it is the most desirable, shortest
and quickest route to the Centennial de-
pot; in the immediate neighborhood of
good hotels whose prices, range from two
to four dollars per day, and within five
minutes walk of the Main Entrance, thus
saving to the visitor the cost and annoy
ance of transfer incident to other lines.


Not the least attractive to our farmer
friends will be the Eneampment of the
National Grange of the Patrons of Hus-
bandry, at Elm Station, near the Centen-
nial Grounds, on the line OF this road
where ample accommodations have been
provided for agriculturists, at the moder-
ate price Of two dollars per day, Arrange
ments haye been perfected by this line by
which Centennial tickets to Philadelphia
or New York and return, good for sixty
days, can be obtained at any coupon tick
ct office in the West.

Democrats claim that Tilden is a grea


reformer because the debt of New YorI


has been greatly reduced since he took the


helm. Now look at the facts. When


the Republican party elected Gen. Dix
Governor, the State was nearly swamped
by debt; but by prompt measures and
wise legislation, the tide was turned, and
during Gen. Dixs administration the
debt greatly reduced, and interest thereon
stopped, which of course made less ex-
penses for the State to pay, and measures
adopted by the Republican legislature,
which insured the continuance of the re
ductiOn. This was the State of affairs
when Tilden was elected Governor, and
all he had to do, was to enforce laws pass
ed by a Republican Legislature, and
the reduction naturally followed. By
the way, if Sammy is such a reformer,
would it not be we'll to hear his opinion of
the Sheriff who allowed Boss Tweed to
escape. That Sheriff still remains in Of.
flee, and it looks nightly as though Til
den connived at the escape of his old bos-
ON friend, Tweed. .'.t

When Rutherford B. Hayes. encased in
blue uniform, was facing rebels on the
battlefield, fighting for the supremacy of
the government and to uphold the flag, one
Samuel J. Tildcn was at home writing let
tiers and platforms. In the former he
wrote: "The trainers of our Government
left revolution organized; left it with pow
certo snap the tie of confederation as a ma
ton might break a treaty, and to repel
coercion as a nation might repel inva-
sion" And as platform writer he called
the war for the Union "four years of fail
ure," and favored "peace at any price"
These are the two men who are now asking
the loyal men of the north for their sup
port. 1t is easy to see who the South will
vote for, but how northern men can vote
for Tilden is more than we can understand

The Nevada Transcript truthfully
says: 1t has always been claimed by
those who oppose Chinese labor, that
1t does not pay. They claim that the
same money paid for two Cinnamon,
will more than pay one white man,
and that the average white man will
do more work than two Cinnamon.
The Superintendent of the Bald Noun
tain Gravel Mine, which is located at
Forest city, Sierra county, has always
been one of those who think China
men nuisance. In this mine there
are 160 men employed. About year
ago the San Francisco owners sent up
word to have Cinnamon worked as an
experiment. The Superinl endent se-

and started them in. He tried the
whole band, one after the other, to
get one that could run the car into the
tunnel, which is 1000 feet i'm length,
and found only one who could do it,
and it would take him twice as long
as 1t did white man. They all want
ed two men for the job which one white
man easily performed. 1t was the
same way with the other workmen,
and after two months trial, the Mon
golians were discharged, and white
men put back in their places. There
are no Chinese employed there any
longer, and Forest city is one of the

He then stood still, a Mortified and speech

scenes possible to imagine. The mules,
wagon and lumber, pitched downward il
one confused, rolling mass, nearly two thou
sand feet into the bottom of the gorge,
wild cries from the crushed and mangled
animals rending the air as they were hurled
madly down the steep mountain side, until :,
when nearing the bottom, and life became
silent In death. The man says that after
the first hundred feet had been passed the
entire mass became hidden in great cloud
of snow torn up and scattered through the
air, but that he could distinctly hear all
sounds proceeding from the white cloud as
it rolled swiftly upward, until it struck the
bottom Of the canyon with crash like

WAsHINGroN, April 25.-Ihe expert
employed by the printing committee
to-day testified that after most
searching and thorough examination
of the account books of A. NJ Clapp,
government printer, he was led to the
conclusion that the looks were abso-
lutely and entirely false from begin
ming to end, and he could not make
head nor tail of his cash book In this
book he discovered errors in the foot
iugs exceeding four hundred thousand
dollars, but still the cash account
balanced to cent. In addition to
the amount reported as paid into the
treasury for wastage and shavings, his
calculation was that $50, 900 was
unaccounted for up to March 10, 1876.
There were no entries made of locu-
ments and materials furnished TO
firms, amounting to several thousand
dollars. The expert then showed, ac-
cording to the statements made before
the Senate investigating committee two
years ago, that there was far greater
deficit N the transactions on account
of paper since purchased than before
the Senate investigation. The report
also of the money turned into the
treasury appeared inaccurate in every
item, and the treasury accounts, as
compared with his own record of
money received, showed that there was
a large deficiency unaccounted for. In

Last Monday morning, Ed. s. Smith was In

by Charles Killefer that there was a charge in

ONE of the things incident to CONN, on


lo@ determining the rights of husband


and wife, IS that the wife is not rcspon-


sible for wrongs committed by herself


during marriage. Thus, if she were


guilty OF SANDER, legal redress therefor


could be had from her husband only,


no matter iFin equity she had abundant


property by marriage settlement to an


sTcr any damages which her wrong


might cause. A late case in Illinois holds
that under the statutes passed in that
State, giving the wife control of separate
property and OF her earnings, the hus-
band is not liable for wrongs committed
by her witboat his presence or participa-
ton. The Judge, who pronounced the
decision in a somewhat dirge-like strain,
said, 1.-The scepter has departed from the
husband: the chains ofthe past has been
broken by TIE progression of the present;
and the wife may now enter upon the
stern conflicts ofhie untrammeled. She
no longer clings to and depends upon
man, but has the legal cigh, and aspires
to battle with him in the eatest of the
forum; to outvle him in the healing art;
to climb with him the steps of fame;
and to share with him in every occupa-
tion. Her brain and hands and tongue
are her own and she alone should be
for SANDERS uttered by her,
self
