GRANT. Bubject to the decision of the National Rej ¥ 1 publican Convention. _ __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 ; j i ; . i 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, A. J.

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. = Tue little boy of Rev. D. A. Dryden, pastor of the M.-E, Church in Gilroy, while climbing up a tree one day, became‘entangled-in the branches, and unfortunately fell on his head to the ground, inflicting a severe and painful gash on the top of his, head of about three inches in yength. —_ AssEMBLYMAN Luttrell has received a letter from a friend in Surprise Valley, Siskiyou county, which announces the discovery of a quartz ledge which is reported exceedingly rich. The letter states that much excitement prevails in the valley in consequence. in New Orleans on Monday, the messenger of the Citizen's Bank was robbed of a pocket-book containing $67,000.

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 . “Tune is, at the present time, a great demand for laborers in the vi-' nouncement that.one or both. of their : A' Gorgeous Picture. 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 growers as well as seedsmen in a chromos can be procured so cheaply are two: Inthe first place they are printed by thousands,each additional thousand making the cost proportionately less.

They are, really, companion pieces, and representative engravings of them are presented in the beautiful illustrated catalogue of Briggs & Bro. for 1872.
