Revala Da Ne rn SATURDAY MORNING, DEC. 17th. Tue Soupiens Vore.—The copperhead journals of this State are in a state ot sgita. _ tion in regard to the soldiers vote polled at ‘the Isteelectios. ‘The papers of that party have many good ressons for pbjecting to the Chief among them is the fact that a man who will fight for bis country is almost sure to vote for her. interests, and another reason is that the copperheads in this State had agreat deal of money bet against the ma_ jority of Union votes, and the. bulk ot this was staked against majorities of 18,000 and under. The Marysville Ezpress in a recent issue says: “Those who have bets pending on the electivm should have theiraction un the actual majority certified to by the Secretary of of State, and we have only newspaper authority as-to what the Secretary of State has testified to. As to the soldiers vote, we presume that wiil'not be counted offitially, in the face of the decision ef the Suprome Court.” According to returns certified to“by the Secretary.of State; including the soldier's vote, the official majority of Linculn is 18. 180. Jt is ‘true that the first: law passed, permitting soldiers to vote, wasdeclared uo~ constitutional by the Supreme Court, and the objections to the law were stated. At the last session of the Legislature 9 law was passed iti which the objectionable features were avoided, and by the last law the soldiers ef California were permitted to vote, notwithstanding the fact that they had gone to fight for their country. The last law places the matter beyond the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. The fact that Copperheads are so much afraid of goldiers votes is the’ best evidence of the potriotiem of our armies, : : The time will sovun come when those who . home to take an active part in all political matters, and then. the rebel sympathisers . At Grass Valley, Nevada County, will have still greater cause to’ dread the votes of men-who have. helped to crush armed rebellion at the risk of life. In despotic governments, where the s ldier is but ® machine for onforcing the will, of the monarch, the participation of the military ia elvctiuns is to be dreaded, but in the United . States, where every citizen is a soldier, and every suldier is a patriot, we need bave n¢ such apprehensions. ‘Phe man who can Voluntarily leave bis bume and march te the field of blood to muintain the integrity _ of the nation, will not thoughtlessly permit: himself to be made an instrument ofuny pars ty, or basely cast bis vote against the interests of his country, The noblest sons of the Republic are now in the armies, fighting for the Union, and upon them we can depend both un the field and at the ballot box. Tue SCHOOL Reruars.—I observe that among the counties named, where Superintendeuts are censured fur “inexcusable neg: lectof duty,” Nevada is mentioned. I desire simply te make a statement of the facte connected with thie neglect, and then leave for those who are the friends of the schools to judge whether or hot the neglect to res porton the First of October was inexzcusable 3 When I eame into office, nearly seven months of the year had passed. Not a single act of my predecessor was to be found on record.’ I was withuut the hawes of avy teachers or echool trustues in the cuupty-ex-4 cept those who were personally known te me. The books, which should have shown the finaueial cundition of the schuvls, I sub» mitted to the Board of Supervisers, and they attempted nothing further than to give me 8 basis to start. upon. The nawee of the Persons for whit warrauts were drawn “were not mentioned, and in. ne single ins stance, cither upon the warrants or in the books was the wlject to which money woe” applied mentioned. This was the covditiva of affairs when J took charge of the office, ae can be substuntiated by every nan who wes 8 member of the Board’ of Supervisors at that time. . On taking the office I idiedintely went to work to inform myself in regard to the condition of the achools in this couaty. In many of the districts I found only one trustee, and in others note.

I leave the people of the county to jadge whether this be inexcusable neglect. 0 My ‘report was fourteen days late, it is. true, but by the delay I secured the school money for over 300 children. Before, bow‘ever, taking. the responsibility of delaying the report, I procured the written consent of Mr. Swett, which he must bave forgotten, if he includes theSuperintendent of this county in bis censure. ee: To.show that the neglect was excused by Hon. Joba Swett, Superintendent of Public Schools, when the facts were made known to him, I will state that he did excuse the neglect by allowing overy child in the county a pro rata of the School Fund.
