__The Tram Road Again. .
We publish to-day an article from
a ener eeseere
will be fully indorsed-by the people
of this county, and we desire further
himself. He says in his card, pretending to quote the language of the
tram bill, ‘Travel on the road should
not be obstructed unless by consent
‘of the Board of Sapervisors,”’ No
sugh amendment was proposed, and
no such language is contained in the
bill. The proviso of the bill was,
that “rails should not be laid on any
county road,’ as it came from the
-verest terms, and his arguments, al: Singular Keasoning.
The Grass Valley Republican says:
The tramway bill is dead, and there
is no hope of its resurrection under .
two years, We have read carefully .
the published proceedings in the As.
>} sembly concerning the-bill. Itis ey-.
ident to us that the enemies of the
measure were few, but they were active, wary and vigilant. They made .
it their duty to/ defeat it, and meet.
ing with comparatively feeble resistance they had an easy job, If there
was any determined fight made for
the bill im the Assembly, it does not
appear inthe printed reports. De
Haven denounced the. bill in the sei

t
though the merest-sophistry;—were"
permitted to go unanswered and un-/
rebuked, leaving the inference to
members out side of this county that
what he said was true. Assemblyman-Days, of whom much “was expected, says: “‘Ifit was necessary for .
the purpose of making the bill effect.
ive for me to vote to take away. any
rights, and any portion of the people .
of my-county expect me to do so,
they are inistaken in the man.’’— .
Such reasoning-as this will not do,
‘Plainly speaking it means that it .
}
‘or toll,” making it read . the words,
/yails should not be laid on any coun. .
ty or-toll road,” and Mr. Everett .
moved to amend, by adding ‘‘unless .
track éould_not have béen laid on}
the lower road bed, even if the track . ; Spy, public reason. differently. .
~was widened so as not to obstrudt . Th, heblews4 gigas mee . Tram Road ought» to amake“hitn 0
. They believe in legislating for the . present for_assisting in. defeating a
travels. The bill as it came to ‘the .
killed the. project _as a prohibitory .
law, and it is better that. it should .
have been defeated in that shape than .
to have been passed without Mr. Ev-.
erett’s amendment. The law pro-.
hibiting the laying of rails on. any .
county or toll road would have taken
away'the powers which Supervisors
now have, and, been a. vixtual . prohibition of the building of such roads.
With the ameidment it would have .
secured a tram road, if inthe judgment of the Supervisors it ought to
be built, and it would have left to the
Supervisors the fegulation of fares
on such road, . Under the proposed .
law capitalists were ready toconstruct .
the road, and at the request of partied Paterested it-wasintfod weed! The .
bill is defeated, and, the people of
the county who took so deep an interest in its passage have a ‘right to
know hoy it was. done.
ws
The Late Election,
The result of the election in Connecticut demonstrates that there is
no possibility of the defeat of General Grant for the nextterm of the .
Presidency._Whatever_may be the .
course or feeling of discontented politicians, it is evident that Grant has
obtained a place in the popular favor
from which it is impossible to dislodge him.” His immense popularity
as a General at the close of the war
cy the first time, arid the great success of his administration during the
first term will insure his election for
a second term. In Connecticut both
parties put forth their strongest efforts, leading men of both’ parties
being sent to canvass the State, while
the few discontented politicians, who
are endeayoring to organize a left
wing for the Democratic party in
the coming fight, did their best to}
carry the'war into Connecticut. They .
fignally failed, and now the New
York World declares there isuo hope
of the Democracy defeating Grant in
the comjng contest. The great labor
reform movement, which hoped to
figure in the next contest has fallen
‘still-born,”’ ‘The Reporter, in ‘this
State, and one or two orguns of as
little weight and influence, are working themselves into a furor of excitement, but they find no awakening echo among the people. This
element figured in the Connecticut
election, but Gid-not show as much
strength as the ‘temperance element
in that contest, ‘The opening of the
Presidential. campaign, with such
evident, enthusiasm for Grant and
the Republican party, and the entire
absence of vitality in any other ‘orgunization, indicates beyond doubt
the success of the Republicans inthe
coming coritest. Grant has already:
been decided upon for the next Pres‘jdency by the masses of the people,

Nota diteh oreanal could be dug,
not a turnpike or railroad could be .
made but what some individual interest would be impaired, if such_reasoning prevailed. When railroads
were first proposed and advocated by
Stephenson in England, a member
would interfere with thetrains. Stephenson thought it. would go hard
with the ‘‘coos’’ if they did. ~ Thej
cows did not stop the construction of
railroads then, but we think a sort of
reasoning equally as absurd as that
argued by this member of Parliament
has killed our tram road to Colfax.
In the meantime, if Assemblyman
Days can explain himself more satisfacterily upon this subject te his constituents they will be glad to hear
from him.
Curtixe Arrray,—The Grass Valley Union says: Thursday afternoon, Ah Li, a Chinaman, who is in
the employ of W. K. Spencer, went.
down to Chinatown, and while there
met Ah Wan, whois cook at the: Western Hotel. A quarrelensued between them, thé cause of which is
unknown, which resulted in Ah Wan
stabbing Ah Li in the right side with
aknife. The Chinamen who witnessed the fightrepresented the knife
as penetrating from one to three
inches. We could not learn whether
the wound was considered fatal, as
the physicians had not made a thorough examination. There was little
external hemorrhage. The wounded
man could give but little information
about the affair, as he complained of
being in great pain. Ah Wan disappeared immediately after the cutting
but it is thought that he will soon be
arrested. =

his, head of about three inches in

»_ Myster1ous Homicipr.—Last Saturday night, A. S. Rose was assassinated at his residence in the town of
Lincoln. Rose was a young man
who, with his wife and mother-inlaw, came to-this country from the
East about two years ago, since
which time he has been stopping at
Linéolm, earning a precarious: living
as_aday laborer. He was a mild,
inoffensive man, of good and. quiet
habits, apparently respected and ésteamed by the entire community.
On Saturday . night, many persons
heard the firing of three shots at the
Rose residence; shortly afterwards
Mrs. Rose made her appearance at
the Logan House, stated that her
husband was shot and called for assistance. Rose, when found, was
lying in the middle of his front room,
his wife’s pistol (a six-shooter) by
his side, with one barrel emptied.
Rose died without making any statement as to the circumstances or perpetrators of the shooting. _He was
shot in two places, and one bullet
and one slug were extracted from the
wounds. A Coroner’s’ inquest, was
held, at which Mrs. Rose testified
that three masked men knocked at
the front door, and as Rose went to
open it they—fired upon and killed .
him. The affair. is shrouded in:
and conjectures. We hope that no
effort. will be spared for ferretting
out the truth, So says the Stars and .

There is scatcely a reader of a
newspaper in the country who has
famous seed-growers and merchants
of Rochester, New York, Briggs &
Brother—whose seed are to be found
America—but have noticed the anelegant flower chromds could be obtained upon certain conditions speclfied in their illustrated catalogues for
1862, itself a grand work, The uninitiated would say, ‘‘Oli! it can’t be
a reai chromo, or they could not be}
sold at seventy-five cents~or given
know that a genuine chromo costs
from $10 to $20." And thinking
that perhaps chromo is only another
name for cheap print they drop the
subject until perchance a neighbor
ing pieces proves for them that the
Briggs chromos are not mere flower
plates-but actual chromo lithographs,
and gorgeous and lifelike tepresentations of Lockhart’s original paintings of flowers grown and raised by .
Briggs & Bro., who are practica

will undoubtedly make an effort to
