THE ELKO INDEPENDENT. WBDXB1D.iT. IKPTKMBKH I ia Callfaraia The ran of to-day will net in California witnwwini; one of the grandest of Democracy and a White Government th.it has ever been won upon the Pacific coast; and when the thunders of the glorious victory shall roll orer the great of the West, and sweep down to the Atlantic shore, millions of anxious hearts ill be quickened with new-born joy and reanimated hope. Many, who had believed the battle for race anil caste was lost and buried forever beneath the Radical simoon which has darkened the land with its withering and poisonous breath of social equality, will take courage and renew again their vows at the shrine of Democracy, and lift again from the dust, where it has so long been trailing, the glorious banner of our fathers; and planting it npon the bullwarks of the Constitution, swear by the hosts th it rale the destinies of the skies it shall never again be desecrated by the polluting touch of the Radical architects of ruin and assassins of liberty; wha, to gratify an ignoble thirst for vengeance on a fallen would drag down their own kindred and beloved to a com non level with the lowest types of humauity known to the civilized world. The Democracy of California, in the great victory it will win to-day, will sjieuk in no halting or uncertain language upon the fuudiuieut il rights of men.

The Democracy of that State hive nobly and boldly met the issue presented by the Fifteenth Amendment, and will crash and bnry it beneath wave of popnlnr condemnation so overwhelming that its tuorul intlnence will be felt to the confines of the Republic, and send thrill of joy to the hearts of the Democracy of Pennsylvania and Ohio which will be worth tens of thousands of votes in those States at the October election. Those who believed that it was decreed by the logic of events and the spirit of the age that the Fifteenth Amendment would become a part of the fundamental law of thx nation will see that they judged too hastily, as with California and Oregon against it. the fate of the rude abortion and misbegotten child of Radical infamy will be doomed to a quick and violent death, with urtne but Asiatics uud Africans to sprinkle intense upon its mangled corpse or attend its funeral obsequies. The Fifteenth Amendment once killed and the tide of Republican successes rolled back upon their lines by the victorious hosts of Democracy, and the reaction will be oue of the grandest ever witnessed in the affairs of men. old men will weep for joy, that they have lived to see the nation delivered; and young men will laugh with exhilarating delight ami mingle their congratulations with neighbors, kindred and friends in welcoming the bright win-light of Freedom as it bursts once more from the dark clouds of ruin and social death which hits so long hung impending above the nation's stormy way.

It is not the custom, we know, to herald the victory in advance of the battle; but we have read the signs and porteuts of the spirit world, written by the sweep of darning orbit athwart the sullen gloom of night opapie, I which foretells a coming change in the public I voice more sweeping and complete than ever been welcomed in all the popular revo- I lutions of the past. We believe, that in the mighty political contest now shaking the i organic system of American society, the white race will win glorious and enduring i we believe in the existence of a God who rules the destinies of the world by inexorable laws of harmony and universal or- der. Wo believe tbnt the Democratic party ot to-day are fighting beneath the banner inscribed with God's eternal law of nature which classifies the races of men as nil other portions of the animate snd in inimnto creation are classified, nud grouped in families with clear lines of demarcation, ever to be maintained if we would win the favor of High Heaven. That philosophy which seeks to tear down and destroy the dividing lines be- I tween the races of incn is at war with God's law of liumanitv, and if successful will bring I down the curse of o(Tended Deity in burning wrath upon a nation foredoomed to an early i death. But we do not believe th it the nation is to be hurried out on the broad road of ruin 1 and death until the fullest type of man's recorded progress has been reached, which in only be by preserving those distinctions among men which the las of nature lias nmile so pi iiu "that he who runs ly read." Without California on the sido of nature's cause, all is lost, as the Fifteen.h Amendment wilt heroine part of the fund uneiital law of the Republic, when we will become a nation of mongrels and the bnttlo is lost.

A is inuf.ictnrers of wooden spoons have done a thriving business for a few days, supplying all of our saloon keepers with spoons, as none of them cared to risk any of greater value in sight while lieu.

The only reason luadgned for this change that a few indiridmds doing in that tnay be enabled to increase their and profits by bringing new customers into that deserted neighborhood. Iu furtherance of this scheme ot conquest.

they to donate ti the county certain Tacnnt lots iu that vicinity which were bought at nn early day. but which, owing to the feci tint they were out of town and unfavorably located, proeed utterly worthless for any whatever and they now propose to turn them to account by inducing the Cotuitv rs to locate the Court House on a art of them.

Is which that of Dr. Cole would thrown into total ecli; se. Aside from the question of justice and right, the cdvantages of locntion are largely in favor of the place selecteil by the lltilntul Cotnpuuy for a Court House building. Hit were the surrounding's equal, we hold that the lioaid of County woul.l not now be iu undoing nil that Lis heretofore been done the subject. is well known that every luau who purch tsed property in the central part of tar town site on the side of the truck, ilnae so with the understanding.

shown by the ollicial ip of the town, that the Court il l.e JT is to b' ou the ground donated by the Ilailroad Company; sud now to change that loc.tiun would be to practice a fraud oa those ao purchasing. Fearing, th it the offer of lots would he no ind'icetnent to Ar the change, it is said that the sutu of is to lie raised to be i tendered to the cvuuty, iu the way of a bribe, to iuduce the to locate the building iu the unit luarsh Is low the We were not aware, however, that the location of the Court toe is up to be kuoclied down to the highest hi 1 Dr. as we had that it was already located an implied understanding i.t least; hut if the qmsj tiou I- open to competition to riniin i by the sum ot money ti 1. the iu' should unite as much as de out it. in which case It would iie td.ivible to advertise forbids Mid glee all portions of (lie town nn equal show.

In addition to the laid faith involved in the change, there are several good reasons why the t'oart House should not be located below the Depot on the grotiti.1 indicated. The lint of thine is; that the ground is very low, which ould cause the prison under tile Court House tola-come damp iiu.l unlit for use a great part of the year. The cells under the Court House at Kucnimelito id to la? nbiimloiicd for tliut very reason, us the walls became so damp that it was proliouiic. i.t.fit for use, I lie salt gnus growing upon the ground below the Depot cltiiily detellillllea ils character, all.l those who Writ Upon the ground last Winter Know that it was either a -meet of ice or a jsuiJ of water after every heavy ruia or melting snow.

Tlie second reason is: that If ever tlie town should Income of any importance, its growth will liocvMurily la' to the iioitu and east; and as there is no room for it to go south, it would make its location below the Depot very inconvenient for the people, Tlio third reason is; lliit the proposed location is altogether too near the railroad track, as courts juries and deliberative bodies would be constantly annoyed by tlie engine bell, the steam whistle and the rolling machinery on the track. No attorney coitid be expected lo make connected, logical and lucid argument to it court or jury wlih a dunging bell and screaming whistle within a few rods of the Temple of Justice. We trust, therefore, that the Commissioners will not allow themselves to he used for llm udv.iiicein.uil of Hie private interests of a few individuals who wish to themselves at tlie expense of the people. The advantages are all in favor of the present locution. Tlie place selected is centrally Incut si on llm town plot; it is on high KcgcnriiMU land; it is snlliciriitly distant from tlie railroad to avoid the o.ijections named above as applicaole to the oilier locality; all of which clearly demonstrates the foresight and ko.kI jiidgnn nt manliest, in those who laid ell the town.

Tlir Arizona still continues to give out rich ores in increased quantities, and mining lioth on the exttnsion and the original is better difimd and richer than ever before. At ovit one half the quantity now mined by the Silver Mining Company is of a sujterior quality, worth over four hundred dollars ten, and is selected for shipment to San Francisco, its reduction here with the ao-algaroating process now in use being impracticable. The Seraiuole Company are still diligently prosecuting work on their tunnel, which is now in five hundred and forty feet.

msome m'lfft from Warm Spriugs, on the Hill Hcachey road. the stage from White Pine to Elko was hailed by a man named James Gilson, who lived further down on the road, who got I on the stage, stating that he wanted to ride to Warm Springs' Station. James Irwin, the driver, took his fare, and when they reached the Springs, where Gilson lived with his sis- ter, be got off and went into the house with Gilson. There were but three passengers in the coach, and none of them got out when the stage stopped. Soon after Gilson and Irwin entered the house, several shots were fired in rapid succession, and when the passengers got out and went into the house, they found Irwin on the floor, bleeding profusely from a wound in the head, which proved fatal in a short time.

After the shooting, Gilson left the house declaring that he would not be I i arrested, and no attempt was made to secure him. Irwin was put upon the stage and brorght to the next station, where he lingered until Monday morning, at 3 oclock, when he expired. It seems he was hit but once, the ball striking the forward part of the jaw on the left side, and ranging back and into the lower part of the skull. There seems to be some mystery atx.ut the wholo transaction, not yet explained, but which will doubtless come to light upon the trial of the case. It seems to be the opinion of persons connected with the stage line, that it was a premeditated, deliberate and cold-blooded murder, committed to seal Irwin's lips in regard to certain matters which would no.

stand the light of legal investigation. It is said that Gilson had threatened to take the life Irwin several times before, on account of his Laving furnished certain information to the i stage companies running between here and White Pine, that a plot was on foot to rob them, in which Gilson was concerned. Others state that some ill feeling existed from other i causes. There was no one present in the house to witness the shooting except the sister I of Gilson, and her son, who state that Irwin fired the first shot; but all other accounts i agree that he was unarmed. Dr.

White went i np on the stage Monday morning to attend the wounded man, but found him dead on liis arrival. Gilson. it is understood, went to Hamilton and gave himself up to the authorities of White Pine county. James Irwin was a native of Ashland county. Ohio, and was about thirty-three years of age at the time of his death.

He bud been in the employ of Hill Boachey for almnt four rears, and was a steadv and trustworthy man. He was buried near Telegraph Station, and we understand that it is Hill Boarhey's intention to mark the grave with a handsome tombstone. and travel to the north are continually on the inctCA.se, and loaded wagons can be seer, at almost any hour of the day moving out on the to Mountain City I 1 1 i A Hare ('Iiam-e for Investment.
