How the Nevada Indians Live.
From the Eureka 8eatinel, Oct 29th.
The weather yesterday was of a char
acter to depress the spirits of the noble
red man. A dead in-earnest snow
storm he didn't mind a bit; but wet,
thawing weather gets him. When the
snow banks up on his wickiup it aids
to keep him warm ; but in a rain or
thaw the- tricking moieture works
through the holes in his residence,
which is constructed of pretty much
all holes, and the cold drops insidious
ly crawl under his clothes at his neck
and creep down his spine and make
him get up and howl. In such weath
er he don't believe that there is no
plac ike home, and so he don't stay
at home. He wraps his blankets about
him and seeks the haunts of the pale
faces and lounges on the street corners
and chats with his own or some other
Indian's squaw. When it is consider-
Sthat the Indians sleep at night on
e damp ground with scarcely any
Ihelter to spak of, and during the day
time, no matter how severe the weath
er, seldom enter a house, one would
think their lives must be miseable to
an extreme. But such does not seem
to be the case; they were born on the
bleak hillsides and the miserable struc
ture for which hut is too good a name
is the only kind of home tbey have
ever known. Most of them would die
if forced to live in a comfortable dwell
ing; and, bo long as they possess a
blanket and get enough to eat and can
earn a little silver to gamble with, they
are far more happy and contented than
the majority of white people who live
in luxury.

Democratic Ticlcit.
New Orleans, Dec 19. Ex-Gov R C
Wickliffe testified before the Congres
sional Committee that the organizc
tion of the regulators was gotten up
whilejhe was inKentucky knew noth
ing of its constitution or modes of pro
cedure. He had a conversation with
Col Powers, who was in command of
it. He don't know who succeeded him,
had no knowledge of armed bodies mov
ing over the country at night. Thinks
the change in vote ofWestFelicianapar-
ish was due to the interest taken by
the whites and the arguments used by
th
administration, and a proper applica
tion of the school fund, in the event of
Democratic success knew of no other
threats of discharge, or anything of
that sort being used by any one. He
received circulars from Col Fatten,
Chairman of the Democratic State
Committee, in which he said : "You
cannot cannot convince a negro by
reason, but ma by positive statements-
often repeated." Witness did net agree
with the views of Col Patton. He
found the negro readily convinced by
the arguments he employed. No other
means were used to influenc them to
vote the Democratic ticket,
