5 -_ ae a a a NEVADA cIT¥, Office---Corner of Broad and Pine Streets. S ‘The ally andi: . PHURSDAY, FEB: 20th, 1866. 7 : moe Tue TemPce or -Tae Sour. —The Constitution guarantees to States a Repub. lican form Of governmiett, and when Stato” governments are subverted and the rights of minorities trampled upon by the majorities, it becomes the duty of the Government te.interfere and see that the rightsof -citi.€ens are respected and the State organization is Republican in character. It cannot ‘be denied that during the late rebellion the Government was in duty bound to crush _ the despotism which Davis and his traitor associates established in the South. Though ~ pretending to establish a Republi, theytrampled upon-the—rightsof property, and} made the life of the citizen dependent upon the will of the raler, while freedom of speech, a right inseparable from Republicanism, has not'‘for years been kuown in the South.— These privileges and rights cannot be taken away without destroying Republican government, and when such attempts are made, it matters not from what source they come, the whole power of the Government should be used to remove the evil. The rebels not only subverted the goveraments established in their States and established in their stead. a military-rule, but combined for the purpose of setting up rulers unknown to the Constitution, and_in order to carry out theirinfamous . purpose they made war upon the nation. — President Lincoln, in. ~ Be obedience to the obligations he had assumed, accepted the issue and the war. followed. The military power of the rebel States has-been broken, and their armies driven from the field; but the Republican governments guaranteed by the Constitution have not been restored. Until the Union armies can be withdrawn,-and the late rebel States are capable of protecting all classes in the enjoyment of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, there can be. no-such thing as true Republicanism, and it is the duty of Congress now in session to see that the rebel States are brought to this condition befere they are restored to their pesitions in the Union. In their present condi_ tion they “are no more fit for fellowship in. ~/the Union than is China. The lives aad property of Union men have to be protected in the South by large~tniom armies, and whenever these are witldrawn, the work of assassination commences. In support ef the statement, we quote’ from a writer iu the Atlantic, whv spent three months in Georgia. In many places the Yankee is driven from the hotels and eating houses, and-findsno protection from: the vindictive hate of whipped but onrepentant rebels. The writer says: P “In Barnwell and Anderson districts, South Carolina, official records ‘show the murder of over 4 dozen Union men in the months of August and September; and at . Atlanta, a man told me, with a qniet chuc. ° kle, that in Carrol County, Georgia, there were four d—n Yankees shet in the month of October. Any Union man, traveling in either of these States, must expect to hear many very insulting words, and-any Northern mao 18 sure to find his principles deepised, his people contemned and himself submitted to much disagreeable contumely.”’ THe spirit of Republicanism cannot exist_with such a condition of things, aud it is the duty ef Congress to hold the rebel States under military power until these evils are removed and they become quilified to take their places with the loyal States and becomes part of the governing power in the natiun. But it is not necessary ta rely upon Northern testimony alone in or der to show the bad effects which must follow the President's plan of. reconstruction. . . The temper of the South may also be drawn from the sayings of her leading men. A candidate for Congress declared himself in favor of repudiating the nationakgebt. A . Confederate officer declared that°téen men could not be found in the South who would not repudiate. It would not be safe to permit such men tocome into the National Legislature and intrast them with the management of Government finance. The spirit of Georgia appears in the language of Mc. Simmons in the Convention. In speaking of the rebel debt, he aaid : “Let us repudiate ei under the lash, and the application of wilitary power; and then, as soon as we are an independent sovercignty, restored to our equal rights and privileges in the Union, let us immediafély . call another convention and resume’ the debt.” A loyal resideat of North Carolina “The only difference now and one year writes / guaranteed by the Constitution are acceptago ie that.the flag.is i préme; end there is some fear manifette aod they have.gn ara The sentiment iq the same. Jf anything otherwise, more hetred exisfs towards the Government. I know there is mdre toward Union men, both black and white.” Re, Both Convention aod Legislature of MisConvention one of the speakers declared it. to be policy to accept the present condition . of affairs until th® control of the State” is returned into the hands of the people, and “to submit for a time to evils which cannot be remedied,” Another speaker in urging . the acceptance of the Union, thus revealed . -the‘plet: ‘If we aet-wisely--we-sball be joined by what-is called the Copperhead party, and even by many-of the.Black Republicans.” We might quote columns trom leaders in the South, to show that all the bitter hate and vindictiveness so prevalent . during the rebellion still-exists. No foyal ‘man with such evidence, ean defend the President for attempting to-make-such men instruments in the work of reconstruction. The spirit of treason is still abroad in the South, and disarmed traitors are as dangerous as they were during the war. They . cannot and must not be trusted with power which will enable them to renew the strug’ gle. The Presidents plan, if carried out, will rekindle the flames of rebellion, and the land will be again bathed in blood.— The policy of Congress is to “hasten slowly” in the work. The President ia acting fora day and Congress for future ages. Congress holds that until the Republican goveraments ed by the Southern States—till they show a fitness for the enjoyment of the-rights, and are willing to perform the duties of members of the Union, they,should .be held in subjection by the strong arm of the Goyernment. This is the right doctrine ‘and will be endorsed by all who understand the temper of the South. RETURNING ReEASoN.—The President is showing signs of returning reason, no doubt in consequence of the great-uprising in the North, on account_of his late speech. He said in a conversation_with Governor Cox, that his hearty sympathies are with the great party which brought “the country through the war of rebellion. He stated that the Freedman’s Bureau was necessary~in he was in favor of its continuance until the rebel States showed-a willingness to protect Freedmen. He disclaimed any intention of interfering with Congress in-the exercise of its powers. Johnson may yet redeem himself, and we hope he will. but the loyal masses. will require something more than “fair promises.”* Should the President be= come reconciled to Congress and act in harmony with that body, won’t John B. Weller, Coffroth, and other “Democratic Lights” who have been 80 fast in indorsing him, be ina “pretty fix?" We advise copperheads to hold on until the President gets over the excitement of the 22d. Mr. Sarpov, the French playwright, having recently had an interview with the Empress Eugenie at Compiegne, was complimented by her Majesty upon his efforts to ridicat®the prevailing extravagance in ladies’ toilets. The Empress said that—she had tried last Winter to set the example of greater simplicity ef dress, and that she was determined to wear still more unpretending tollete this season. CoUuNT DE LAGRANGE, the owner of the horse Gladiateur, won $100,000 on the turf in England during the last year; the Duke of Beaufort, $80,000. Mr. Ten Broeck stands sixth in the list. of winners, and reckons his gains at $30,000. Tue CatTLe Disease.—Dr. Murehison and the Londen Lancet maintain that_rinderpest is virulent small pox, that all the symptoms are identical, that herds which have-had the cow<pox are exempt, and sug: gest the vaceinations of all cattle, The cause of the excessive mortality, so greatly exceeding the average amung human subjects, is the thickness of hide, which suppresses the postules. BinGHAM of Ohio in a recent speech alluding to the President, said: “If the day ever comes when he will find no supporters except among those who in 1864. were buried so deep that the hand! of resurrection ean never find them, then-God help the President. and. save him from his friends THE Presideut wants to make traitors legislators; and therefore desires to get reb= el delegations into Congress. Of course all Cupperheads indorse bim, nowledged as su. war id sissippi abounded in bitter treason. “In the) order to protect the blacks in the South, and . _*“Bemperance and Politics.” . i 2 Moores F At, Feb: 97, 1866. Ea, ‘Transcript :—Hp locking fof the Gazette of Mop@ay mornibg la find an editorial under the above €aption.— I seldom ever notice such flings in strictly ‘partisah papers, and had not the editor of the paper containing the article, beeo under a misapprehension of fact, or pufposely misrepresented me, I should take no notice of.it_on-—the,present occasion. T am charged with “retailing a dirty slander of the Sacramenté. Union against “Andrew Johnson,” and in substance asserting “that the President's late maudlin” Message “was evidently written under the influence of liquor.” Now, Mr. Editor, I.said in substance, justno such thing. I made po allusion to a “ Message”’ or ‘‘written Message.” But I did say, and say so still, that the maudlin speech of President Johnson, made the nation, and that I believed he was under the influence of liquor at the time. Every loverof his country was humiliated at the reading of that worse than balderdash speech, to a whooping, yelling, and perhaps . drunken crowd around him. I am not guik ty of mixing “politics” with my lectures— never have been. I have delivered a few political speeches in this State, but I did not mix them with temperance addresses. Whenever a public servant’ 8 far forgets his high relation to the interests of his country.und his constituents, as to become a whisky guzzler, thea his failings should be publicly alluded to, and if this is “meddling in politics,” I shall persist in. meddling in them, in every public speech I make. G. B. TayLor. Low’Fare.—The following bill has been introduced by Hon. Joseph Kutz, in the Senate, entitled: provide for the incorporation of Railroad companies, and the management of the thereto, approved May 20th, 1861.

Section fifty-one of said Act is hereby amended so as to read as follows : Section Fifty-One. It shall be unlawful forany such. railroad-company to charge senger, and ten cents per mile for each ton of freight transported ow its read; and for every such transgression of such limitation the company shall betiable to the party euffering thereby, treble theentire amount of fare or freight so chargedto such party ; provided, that in no case shall the company be required to receive less than twenty-five cents for any one lot of freight fur any distance. See. 2. This Act shall take effect on and ‘after its-passage. —s THE TWENTIETH.—By a queer mistake apackage was lately received at the Quartermaster’s store, at Salt Lake, which was intended fer another destination. On being opened, it was found to contain a pair of lady’s gaiters, addressed to ‘““Mrs>Brigham Young the twentieth.” THE Montona Post of December 30th. says tobacco is five dollars per pound in that market. A SAILOR’S. PRAYER.—A rough old cap+tain; when terrified passengers. persuaded him to petition Heaven for a cessation of the tempest. profered the following brief request: .“‘O Lord, I havn’t been in the habit of calling upon Thee often, and if more south, I won't trouble you again.” ARRIVALS AT THE NATIONAL EXCHANGE HOTEL _ BROAD STREKT, NEVADA CITY.
