The large majority of the people of this country detest the doctrine of State Rights —Nevada
Transcript.
Every one of you railers against State Rights give the lie to your declarations every day and
hour of your lives, by refusing to accept greenbacks as of equal value with gold—Warysville
Express.
Did the men of the revolution give the lie to their declarations of loyalty, because colonial paper
was not equal in value to gold? The money market cannot be controlled by the people. The loyal people
intend to make greenbacks of equal value with gold by crushing the rebellion and “cleaning out” the
copperheads. Until this is accomplished, neither legislation or loyalty can effect it.
HOTEL AT LINCOLN.—B. S. Starr, formerly proprietor of the Union Hotel [Bailey House] in this
city, has leased the Logan House, at Lincoln.

THE REBEL GOVERNMENT AND FOOTE.—The audacity of old Roman Catiline, so bitterly
complained of by Cicero, has its representative in modern times, in the person of Henry S. Foote. Born in
a Slave State, and educated under social influences necessarily growing out of the “peculiar institution,”
he sought political life and distinction, and received that share of its emoluments to which his abilities
entitle him. He was, however, an uncertain politician, caring less for honest party alliances and sound
political principles than for personal popularity and self aggrandizement.
After having been Governor of Mississippi and partially “played out” in home politics, he came
to this State, having in view, no doubt, the United States Senate. Here he came very near realizing
his political hopes; but the State was providentially prevented from having charged to her the crime
of electing this unprincipled, undeserving and unstable politician—a man noted for his egotism and
selfishness more than anything else—to represent her in the national councils.
Always a strong advocate of Union principles while here, he left the Golden State to use his
influence and power against the Union. More capable of troubling than of serving, anywhere, or any
party, he allowed his old hatred of Jeff. Davis to influence him, rather than devotion to the cause he had
espoused. First he turned traitor to the Union and then to the Confederacy. He seems to be so made up
and organized that he can neither serve God nor mammon with any degree of constancy or steadiness of
purpose. He is never good in a bad cause and always bad in a good one. .. . A few days ago he tried to
return to the Union—to return, not like the “Prodigal Son,” penitent and sorrowing, but with audacious
assurance that, having proved false to what he swore he would be true, he would surely be received by the
patriots at Washington, and receive a cordial reception at the hands of the Administration; but in this he
was foiled, and consequently concluded that he would make all the capital possibly out of the matter on
the pretense of arbitrary arrest.

years and seven months. Funeral of deceased will take place form the residence of his parents,
No. 31 Nevada street, at 11 o’clock A.M. today.
