Friday, ‘July 4, 1878,
‘To-day the American people unite
in celebrating the ninetyseventh anThe Government has not yet been in
being a century, and yet its rapid
progress is unequaled by that of any
ether nation upon . From
—thirteen colonies, and less than three
millions of people,of whom half were
slaves, settled abont the Aarbers and
bays of the Atlantic seaboard, with
_ few manufactures and no com
the nation has grown to, thirty
States; with a population of forty
Millious, and no inhabitant who is
nota freeman, ._Manufactories have
multiplied until every village and
town resounds with the busy hum of
machinery. .Where forests once
. stood in unbroken grandeur,
*“*"Now speed the sharpened plows,
As they turn the heavy svil.
Where the sturdy farmer guides the share,
Throngh the last year’s furrows ifare, Y
With the horny hand of toil.”
The sails of our commerce are
spread in every clime, and: the flag
now floats upon every breeze. Lightning has become the servant of man
_ and steam his hand-maiden; The
golden treasures of the Pacific have
been brought from the deep recesses
of the earth to minister to the necessities' of man, The nation has
, Survived the shock of civil war, and
we are to-day a united people. The
retrospect and prospect may well excite the pride of the ‘people of the
country, and it furnishes an evidence
that a goverhment founded. on the
right of the pevple to’ participat®in
its affuirs is the strongest and gives
the greatest prosperity.. Labor here
is better appreciated than in any othercountry, afd the way to power
and position is open from the most . ,
humble wulks of life. The common
school system brings.within the reach
of all the advantages of an education, andin no country is true merit
more highly appreciated than in the
United States. People who enjoy
the grand privileges resulting from
this Republic, should study to fully.
understand and appreciate them.
The young should. grow up to venerate the memories of the men of
1776, and to respect the laws and institutions of the country, while-men
in public positions should be held to
a strict account for the faithful performance of duty. The indiscrimi“ nate abuse and denunciation of all
in public life should be discouraged,
and that proper credit given to posttion as will induce good men to take
upon themselves public duty. The
best'men of the country should par_. ticipate in the affairs of government
and ‘the selection of public officers,
with as great zeal'as they. enter-upon . .
the‘discharge of the most sacred duty.
“The men who stand aloof and prate
about the low ebb.of public morality,
should remember that they have it in
__theirpower, and_it is their duty to’
aise the ntandard of public virtue.
Does any‘man suppose the Declaration -of' Independence would “have
ever been issued had the good men
and. true stood back and de“nounced thé evils that existed, -without trying to right them? And yet
men were as vile and dishonest in
*hrose days as now. Whilethe Pharisee sees in the times growing evil,
and only evil, the man who looks
impartially upon matters, and studpresent, must be convinced that
things are not so bad as some would
make them. We believe that there
is now as much virtue, intelligence
and patriotism among the American
people as ever, and that there is
reason for congratulation, in the fact
that while wrongs are now more eas' ily and generally exposed, and corruptions brought to hght, punishment is more certain to follow, and
thus the evil disposed are deterred
from committing offence,
‘To-day as we celebrate the anni» Yersary of American Independence,

‘New Orleans, in whi
pag Rae By J es
. Mr “editor of the ne ‘of
that city. The difficulty from which
Judge Cooley lost his life had: been
. brewing for some time. It seems
that a libel suit had been instituted
against the proprietors of the: Picayune, for comments made concerning
Judge Hawkins’ conduct in connection with the Louisiana complica}tions. Judge Cooley «was: Judge
Hawkins’ attorney in this suit, which
-resulted in a-heavy verdict, as was
alleged, by the “erroveousrulings of
the Court before whom the trial was
had. The immediate cause of the
duel was the reply of Judge Cooley,
throtgh. the Times, to an article
which had appeared in the Picayune,
Cooley assuming the quarrel of Judge
Hawkins, We find in the St. Louis
Globe, the gist of the article which
led to the libel_suit, and ultimately
to the duel, It reads’as follows:
Sage es
a di
endure that monstrous party cres-tion, the Supreme District Court?
How much Cone will they quietly
submit to the decrees of 4 bastard
Judge of a bastard Court, created by
a bastard Legislature? Have they
any respect for that compound of
perjury and perfidy, Jacob. Hawkins,
who assumes to-preside over the
Court that was specially created to
reward him for Bicswes. his daty
and his oath as ‘a returning officer?
How mach longer. will the members
of our bar continue to recognize the
illegal tribunal and its perjured
Judge?
Mr. Rhett being the challenging
party, Judge Cooley selected doublebarreled shot guns loaded with ball
as the wespons with which they
should fight. The parties proceeded
to a’ spot near Montgoniery Station,
Miss., July ist, arriving there about
10 a, M., accompanied by their seconds and surgeons. The ground was
promptly selected, and the distance,
forty paces, measured off. -The parties were then placed in position.
At the first fire, Khett’s shot ranged
high ‘and Cooley’ s to the right.
Cooley delivered his fire first. At
the second fire both fired simultaneously. Cooley fell mortally wounded, the ball entering the left side,
passing apparently though the heart.
He expired in six minutes without
any apparent suffering, oaly speaking these words to Dr, Halliday: “i
‘am shet through the breast.’ The
gentlemen engaged in the affair exg
second fire, and separated with expressions of mutual respect and consideration.

Hypsavurié Minine.—A gentleman
returning from p tour through the
mining districts of Nevada county,
before leaving for San Francisco
yesterday, expressed tous his surprise at the number and extent of
the mining operations in sucéessful
» working in almost every partof the
upper portions of our.county, There
‘is no question, though we make“ Tittle blow about it, that Nevada is the
banner county of the State in hydraulic and quartz mining. We
have, it'is'true, no Yosemities to-attract pleasure seekers to this locality,
and ho wild cat ations to place
upon California street, but when the
narrow gauge: is in running order
from Colfax we expect to attract
. hither individuals who desire tomake
permanent investments but are so
delicately constituted as to be deterred by the fear of the ride of some
ten or twelve miles over a stage road.
We will have palace cars on our narrow gauge expressly for the accommodation of such, and shall then expect to see them ‘‘flocking as ‘doves
to our windows.” So says the
Grass Valley Union.
